"Well I mean...whoever named Ninetales clearly named it for it's Nine Tails so..." Shaun just gave a half assed shrug, he didn't care to defend the company if Seraph really hated them so much but its not like the name was actually all that bad. It made enough sense, and heck if anything, Ninetales name was the thing that actually made less than normal sense. As Seraph seemed to flick through his phone, Shaun would try to peer over his shoulder, but pull back and..maybe just peek a little if Seraph tried to hide anything he was shifting through to get what he needed.
"Trans Tape? Can't say it came up. When I was doing research into...all my 'shit' I was more concerned about the lower half really. Never ended up finding anything I liked but...hey if it works for you I'll give it a look sometime. As much as I love 'em they can give off the wrong first impression sometimes..." When the images were finally presented to him, Shaun would pause dead for a second, before taking the phone and gawking in disbelief.
"No fucking WAY is this you!!" The eyes being different was one thing but..o-okay there were SOME similarities but this was the most girl idol shit he'd seen outside of the ones who play that whole schoolgirl angle, and they tended to be the really young ones. Shaun...may have actually blushed a bit, flashing his eyes to Seraph and letting out a light chuckle, not at his expense mind, more just nerves. He handed back the phone with a half, playfully intended, flirty smirk. "You...were actually kinda cute..."
Hoping to just brush over that so it could be kept playful as intended, he cleared his throat and continued. "I totally getcha though. Can't be easy having something like that taped to your back. Half your fans in Kanto or Johto would just want you to do shit from your Idol days and crap..." Shaun let out a fake sigh as he layed back on his elbows. "Guess you're stuck here with me, foxy.~" He smirked and snickered, quickly adding. "Sorry that's my only one I promise."

At Shaun's disbelief, Seraph barked a brief, "Yeah." Like. Like 'yeah exactly it was crazy' or 'yeah no kidding, it was very Not Me' or whatever he didn't know.
He put on a pouty face when Shaun said he was kinda cute, but mumbled "No kidding" at the mention of fan pressure. He hadn't even been thinking of that part, but it was pretty obvious once said and just made the idea seem all the worse.
A small smile started to form when Shaun teased Seraph was 'stuck with him'-- but it was immediately replaced at the word 'foxy'. "--Don't... call me that." A chill ran through him. "Some really shitty memories with that." Uuugh...
He knew Shaun didn't know though and kind of wanted to both get away from that and make sure he knew he wasn't upset at him or anything, so he forced a weak smile and added, "I'll take other compliments though. Like.. I dunno what you were talking about 'were', I'm still cute as hell." He gave him a ;P face.

Shaun's smirk weakened, but was still present as Seraph seemed to recoil from the foxy tease, nodding along and mumbling. "Ah alright mate, was just teasin' yah." He clearly wasn't all that upset about it either, gripping his shoulder and winding back his arm as he felt a bit tense, but glad that the two of them didn't seem to focus on it, snorting a little at the comment about him being cute, Shaun instinctively reaction the moment his snickering stop.
"Dude. That's fucking gay." Of course he had just called Seraph cute a second ago, but given he wasn't exactly 'presenting' there this seemed like a viable joke, and to make sure it was a joke, he quickly hooked an arm around Seraph's head, tugging his cheek into his own chest as he ruffled his hair. "Ah seriously though, ya ain't have bad for a guy.~"

Seraph couldn't help but snort at the 'gay' comment. "I'm--" ACK. He made several distressed noises and weak, half-assed attempts to protest as Shaun more or less man-handled him. Nyyyyeh. He stuck his tongue out as the assault finally let up. Ain't half bad for a guy? "Pfff. I forget straight people still exist," he half-teased. There was a brief moment of debate after, but... Eh, he already had his phone out and his gallery open, even if he'd dropped it a few moments before. But still, why not? Giving Shaun a weak but faintly smug hint of a smile-- which to be fair was about the equivalent of a shit-eating grin at his current energy level-- he noted, "Just don't forget, you're not the only one who can pass for a hot girl. Gimme a few months to grow my hair out or a wig and..." Of course in reality that list included a massive change of makeup and the right outfits but ssh. Regardless, he pulled up a few more older pictures to show off. (link) (link) (link) He supposed this image of him may be easier to connect to his Ninetails identity as well, heh.

Snickering at the comment about straight people existing, Shaun briefly considered pointing out that, in his case, it'd depend who you ask, but he didn't feel like getting into it, or giving those kind of assholes the recognition. For now he just enjoyed the amusement, it was true that just being purely straight tended to be less and less common, at least in the circles he traveled...then again...maybe it was just the circles he traveled. Heh, who knew.
"Hm? You really think you can be as hot a bitch as-" His words were interupted as he was shown the phone, gently taking the phone into his own hand, slowly laying out on his back with a hand behind his head, looking up to the phone in his hand as he took in a much more recognizeable Seraph. "...Oh damn." He chuckled a little, just briefly in disbelief and glancing across to Seraph again as he handed the phone back across. "Dude if you hadn't been crying 10 minutes ago I'd be half tempted to ask you out right now. You're a little cutie under the hair dye and binding.~"
He shrugged with a smirk and added. "Okay you're a cutie anyway but hopefully the point's clear."

Seraph was pretty pleased with that initial reaction, particularly the speed at which Shaun shut his mouth upon first seeing. True, he was far from feeling flirty by any means, and he supposed if he let himself think too much about it, it would have been a lot nicer getting this kind of reaction for his current appearance. But he'd never been especially uncomfortable as 'a girl', at least in terms of appearance, and while he did feel like his more masculine expression suited him a lot better, he could damn sure take pride in his appearance whatever form it took, especially if it got his friends flustered, heh.
There was a brief if deep frown at the word binding, but between Shaun's quick admission he was cute either way and reminding himself that Shaun of all people having a preference for boobs should neither be surprising nor taken personally, Seraph quickly recovered with a weak but genuine smirk. "Damn, I guess I picked the wrong time to have crippling family trauma." The small laugh that followed, while clearly a little forced, should hopefully still convey this was definitely grim humor coping rather than anything genuinely bitter.
A moment later, he sighed softly. "To be fair, though, we mighta both dodged a bullet with that, heh. I mean, I haven't been on a date in over a year, and if you hadn't caught me crying I'd still me a mess?" A nervously trilling laugh sputtered out. "Heck, we're probably lucky I haven't fucked up just hanging out yet." A corner of his mouth twitched. "I mean if I can push my own twin away twice, like?" An even more mutilated excuse for a laugh followed, and okay yeah now there seemed to be a bit of bitterness seeping in.

Shaun smirked and chuckled as Seraph went on talking, though did manage a light frown as the bitterness seeped in towards the end, leaning over and taking Seraph's head with a hook of his arm, much less affectionate and caring than before (though still sorta caring in it's own way) and vigorously ruffling his hair as he held the guy in a headlock, smirking and making his hair one hell of a mess to try and distract him from his own thoughts.
"Yeah well maybe you're twin's just a pussy. Yes I know only you probably get to call him that, but hey, you can drive some people off for the silliest reasons. I mean I told my dad I'm a guy and that pissed him right off!~" He spoke with a cheeky tone despite the bitterness he felt about that inside, trying to keep things light and jokey for Seraph's sake more than anything. "You're stuck with me now mate whatever the case. I mean, I gotta get lucky enough to see you dressed up all girly someday ain't I?~"

"Oomph--" Seraph squirmed in Shaun's grasp, not enough energy to properly flail but not keen on just taking it without a fight either. A few vague whining sounds escaped him.
As Shaun insulted Thomas, he tensed hard, but by the time half a syllable of protest had escaped Shaun was already making the effort to cover his ass. He wanted to respond that no, Seraph would never, that so much of their dynamic as kids had been him protecting Tommy, fending off bullies, trying to support him when dad and everyone else made him feel inferior. He wanted to tell him how desperately he still wanted to protect Thomas even now that he'd grown up to be a badass in his own right. But that desire was so much of why this hurt so badly, and his welling tears seemed to be choking his words. And then--....
... That... wasn't part of it, was it? Sure Andie'd been a dick but... Tommy had been... kind of supportive? Like... he didn't talk about it really and Seraph guessed he.. didn't really know how he talked about him to other people or anything but-- he would have told him if he had a problem... right? Surely he didn't.. get fed up with pretending and just-- NO, no brain shut up, no one had heard from him, it wasn't just Seraph, he knew this, don't think stupid shit like that FUCK.
You're stuck with me now mate whatever the case.
... Something in that, despite or maybe because of everything, was so grounding and Seraph just sort of... leaned into him with a weak whimper. That final quip earned a weak breath of a laugh. "I dunno..." he mumbled back. "You should at least buy me dinner before making requests like that, hehe..."

Shaun eased up a little as Seraph calmed down and leaned into him. The brief squirming and whining earning little more than a chuckle as Shaun easily kept a hold on him, but even if he couldn't tell if Seraph was getting calm and comfortable, or just some sort of depressed somber mood, it seemed best to just calm down for him. At his words another chuckle pushed out of his lips, sighing as he suddenly fell onto his back, Seraph tugged with him so his head was laying back on his stomache, Shaun just gazing up at the clouds above as he idly brushed Seraph's hair straight with his fingers, trying to smooth it back out a little bit, or as best as he could with just his fingers.
"Tell you what, you ever find yourself in Pahalla and I'll cook you up some fresh fish." He smirked a little and eased his hand a little slower, half hoping to ease Seraph more and kinda just enjoying the feeling against his fingers himself. "For now though....how about we just lay here...take a deep breath...and maybe enjoy the clouds without some tears in our eyes eh?" He smirked, and added a faintly cheeky comment of. "They're kinda prettier out on the ocean but...some land clouds can do in a pinch.~"
Nevermind they were likely the exact same clouds.

Seraph let out a slightly stressed 'oomph!' as he was pulled down with Shaun so unexpectedly, but once he got his bearings he quickly accepted his fate and just... melted, he was pretty sure. What did you mean he still had solid form? That didn't sound right, heh...
"That sounds... really nice..." he murmured to the offer, then chuckling weakly at the little cloud joke.
He wasn't sure how long they just lay there after. This was... more comfortable than he really knew what to do with. At some point, he caught himself wondering just how long it had been since he last got to cuddle up with someone like this... and came to the realization he wasn't sure if he ever had quite like this.. Cuddling up on a couch to watch a movie was Different than lying here staring at the sky together.
This led to several different tangent thoughts that made him tear up a few times, but he managed to keep from fully breaking into sobbing again. It didn't matter that he'd been lonely, it didn't matter that he wished he could have had more bonding moments with Tommy, it didn't matter that he still didn't know where to go with his life lately. Right now, all that mattered was appreciating that he had someone willing to be there for him.
Seraph was fine. Seraph... wasn't fine but fine Enough. He was still deeply upset about the situation, but he didn't need to spend every waking second being entirely miserable. It was okay to let himself feel nice for a few minutes. This was fi--
The sound of mom's ringtone cut through the air, and Seraph panicked as he shot upright, fumbling for his phone. "S-sorry!" he sputtered to Shaun. It was probably nothing or just contest bullshit but--
He answered, but nothing prepared him for the news she had. When the word 'coma' hit his ears, the most overwhelming and nauseating blend of dread and relief crashed into him. He couldn't seem to form any words in response, only a few weak sounds of acknowledgment.
When he finally hung up the phone, he sat in silence for some 30 seconds before finally mumbling, "They found him..."
