SUDDENLY, SUPER POWERS.

Did that couch just lift itself?! Did you seriously just walk through that wall?! Oh my god, that lady over there is imagining you naked. How did you even know?

Take a guess, kids. And have fun while you're at it.

[Oh god what. He'd been sitting on a bench, minding his own business, when suddenly, he could see through things. Like that wall over there. He could see past the bricks, past a few rooms, into an office... and past an office worker's skirt. Holy shit. This is awesome.]

I DID NOT REALIZE HOW MUCH I MISSED THE HOBO GLARE UNTIL NOW

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

...The hell are you staring at so intensely, Shinji?

ME NEITHER

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

--Huh?!

[Jumps, startled. He glances at Aki... then glances away just as quickly. He can see through your clothes auuuugh.]

Uh, nothing. [Would he even believe him if he told him?]

/fanboys

[Aki just raises an eyebrow at that. He'd let it go, but...

It's in his very nature to pester his best friend, isn't it? Though something odd might start to happen, like hearing the things Shinji doesn't say out loud.]

You sure? You're acting strange.

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

It's...

[Well he's definitely thinking about how he can see through stuff now. And trying to figure out how to turn it off before things get awkward.]

...There's something weird going on.

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

[Wait, it sounded like Shinji muttered something there. He didn't quite grab the gist of it, though.]

...You see what?

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

Huh?

[He looks back at up at him, and... yes, that's a bit distracting.]

...I didn't say anything. [So please go away and let him figure this out.]

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

...Pretty sure you did.

[Sheesh, what's there to figure out, Shinji? You can see through his tacky sweater vest to his MANLY PECS.

Guess who's playing the unconvinced girlfriend best friend role?]

What's distracting? C'mon, just tell me.

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

[He needs to figure out if he's not just high or something. Or dreaming.]

I told you, I didn't say anything. [But yeah, he's totally thinking along the lines of: Your chest.]

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

But you just di-

What about my chest?!

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

...

[Just gonna stare. At his face this time, that is. Is he reading my...]

icon may or may not be an exaggeration

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

...

[Shinji's mouth totally didn't move at all. What the hell.]

...Y-your thoughts?

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

...You've gotta be kidding me.

[But he really didn't say anything. So...]

Then I guess telling you've I've got x-ray vision or some shit won't surprise you too much.

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

[A blink.]

X-ray vi-

[Wait a second.]

...!!

[Akihiko immediately covers up his important bits.]

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

[Oh, you idiot.]

It's not like I was looking there. [There's a reason Shinji's been staring at his face this whole time... and it's not because he's being polite.]

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

Well jeez, it's weird thinking you could even...

[Shaking his head, he still keeps his arms crossed.]

A-anyway. Are you saying we developed super powers or something?

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

[Didn't they already sort of have those? Er, anyway.]

Could be. ...Either way, it's fucked up.

[And also, by effect, Akihiko can get an idea of whatever Shinji happens to see. Like that lady he accidentally glanced at's bright red undies over there.]

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

Seriously, you'd think with personas we already...

[Aki stares when all of a sudden, bright red undies pop into his head.]

What the hell, Shinji?!

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

What?

[Damn it, stop responding to his thoughts, rather than his words. It's creepy. ...Though not really any creepier than the abundance of underwear he's been seeing today.]

I bet it's Kashiwagi.

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

Would you focus on the problem here? And not...

[He waves a hand vaguely at the lady across the way, except he catches a thought from her - "Hm, those two boys look like they could use company~... Good thing I wore my lucky, red pa-"]

Y'know, let's just... go somewhere else. Quick.

LOL it totally is

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

Yeah... somewhere with less people.

[That lady is totally making eyes at them. He stands up, hands in his pockets, beginning to walk down the sidewalk. Just gonna stare pointedly at the ground, for now.]

what a pedolady

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[Whoa, can you see to the core of the Earth, Shinji? Aki is all too enthusiastic about getting away, a step ahead of Shinji.]

So when did you notice you had... x-ray vision, or whatever?

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

[He probably could if he tried.]

Few minutes ago. ...Right before you walked up, actually. And you just started reading minds, huh?

[Judging by his reaction.]

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

Yeah, after I ran into you. What a pain.

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

Stuff like that doesn't just happen out of the blue...

[Or... shouldn't at least. There had to be some cause. But after a moment, he sort of smirks.]

Heh. Guess it could be useful, though.

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

...

"Useful"?

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

[Not just for being a pervert, okay. Back to line-facing :|]

You don't think reading minds could come in handy?

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

...I guess it could.

[Subtly, Aki tries reading Shinji's mind again.]

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

[He's thinking about how you totally acted like a girl with your reaction a second ago. And about all the weird shit he's seeing with this x-ray vision, of course. Though it's mostly just dirt, now, thanks to his pointed staring at the ground.]

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

Wh... I did not act like a girl!

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles, looking over at him for a moment and accidentally catching a glimpse of his chest again. Ohohoho.]

It was just some underwear, you know...

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, sure, "accidentally."]

How am I supposed to know you can't see past that, anyway?

[All this worry, coming from someone who wears a speedo. Seriously, Aki?]

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

You can read my mind, can't you?

[Yeah, seriously. Shinji didn't think he'd be that sensitive about scantily clad people. What with that dominatrix outfit Mitsuru is always wearing-]

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

...Never mind.

[Well, now that he knows for sure, he seems to ease up.]

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

What, did you think I was gonna go around staring at people's...

[Uh, yeah. Not gonna finish that one. He shakes his head.]

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

Well, no, just-

[Aki knows his best friend better than that. He hopes.]

Let's just figure out this... phenomenon.

[hobosenpai.livejournal.com]

How're we supposed to do that?

[They don't really have any clues, since it just appeared out of nowhere.]

[boxeridiot.livejournal.com]

...I'm not even sure. Maybe it'll just go away. I don't need to go around hearing everyone's thoughts.
