Joshua’s self-important smile widens as Neku shakes his hand, and his eyes seem to sparkle with something akin to mischief. His own fingers close around Neku’s, holding them there for a bit longer than he really should, the tips of Joshua’s fingers gliding against Neku’s palm quickly in a manner that’s supposed to tickle. Just as elegantly, quickly, Joshua lets go, stepping back fluidly and smiling serenely at the orange-haired boy.
“Oh, but Neku dear,” Joshua almost whines, placing the back of his hand against his head dramatically. “I was so very inspired by your show of heroism…among other things, of course.” He giggles, searching Neku’s face for signs of irritation. As doomed as this mission was, it would be fun.
“Besides, I’m all alone here. It’s so sad for a small, little slip of a boy like me, alone and unregistered with superpowers…I’m not exactly a proficient fighter, dear, and you could imagine the sorts of trouble that might befall a pretty little thing like me,” Joshua simpers, making his eyes grow wide and round. Lies, lies, all lies, but he needs an excuse to stay with Neku.
If that happens to come off like he's hitting on the other boy, well, that would simply just be some…ah, collateral damage. A less than fortunate but entirely bearable side effect, if you will, and oh, did Joshua find it amusing to see Neku squirm…
