[ WHERE IS THIS GOING?? He is mystified. ]

Red?

[messianic]

Okay, so then... R-E-D.

[ he holds the cootie catcher open at that position, and then nods. ]

Now you can pick one of the flaps to fold up. That'll tell your fortune.

[ spoilers: they are all sappy fortunes about Juzo and his future happiness, as fortune cookie-esque as he could come up with, because this is Minato. ]

[gunmettle]

[ Minato is too good for this world...

He just randomly points to a corner. ]

[messianic]

[ And Minato pulls up the flap!

And holds it up so that Juzo can read what it says.

Juzo-san will definitely have a good day and if he has any crushes they'll all work out great and if not he'll find lots of people who appreciate him.

WOW WHO COULD'VE WRITTEN THAT. ]

[gunmettle]

[ IT'S SWEET but also... why this ]

Really, kid?

[messianic]

[ innocently: ]

That's your fortune. I don't know why you're looking at me.

[gunmettle]

Because you wrote it!

[messianic]

[ perfectly poker faced: ]

It's your fortune. That's all there is to it.

Anyway, that's how a cootie catcher works. Did you catch how to fold it?

[gunmettle]

[ HE WATCHED YOU WRITE IT!!

But ugh, clearly this isn't an argument worth having. ]

Think so. Guess I gotta make my own for it to count, huh?

[messianic]

[ ... even more innocently: ]

Unless you want the people you use it on to read the rest of your fortunes.

[ that minato wrote ]

[gunmettle]

I'm good, thanks!

[ He's embarrassed enough!

So he's going to sit down and concentrate VERY HARD on folding a cootie catcher of his own. ]

[messianic]

[ And Minato is content to just watch this happen, giving pointers if asked but otherwise pretty pleased to just enjoy the moment.

Sometimes your hard-boiled detective friend with a gun for a head is folding colorful paper into cootie catchers and it's just a good atmosphere. ]

[gunmettle]

[ Please don't bring it up out loud, he's already having a hard enough time with his image.

At last... he has a surprisingly neatly-folded cootie catcher, which he lifts to show Minato. ]

Not too bad for a rookie, huh?

[messianic]

[ ... oh, wow. It's better than Minato's first attempt at remembering how to do one. ]

... You're really good at this. That one looks pretty much perfect.

[gunmettle]

What can I say? I'm a stickler for details.

[ He also does the cootie catcher thing!! You know, in out in out. Just for show. ]

[messianic]

Apparently so. Well, now that you've made one of your own, you can play with as many people as you want, or that the square needs.

[gunmettle]

Just said I had to make one, but I can keep it in my pocket just in case.

Thanks for the help, kid. And the encouragement.

[messianic]

[ a very cheesy thumbs up. ]

I'm glad I could help. It was kind of fun to try to remember how to fold one anyway.

[ ... ]

Oh, while I have you here... d'you mind helping me out with a square too?

[gunmettle]

Sure. You scratch my back, I'll be happy to scratch yours. What have you got?

[messianic]

[ Minato stares at his card for a long, long moment.

And then he puts it away, and solemnly: ]

Juzo-san, I just need you to know that...

... you're my baby daddy.

[gunmettle]

Huh??

[messianic]

[ silent thumbs up.

He is sir not explaining. ]

[gunmettle]

Yeah, I'm just... gonna assume that was part of the card and move on with my life. Glad to help?

[messianic]

Yeah, that's a smart plan. Anyway--that does it for me. I appreciate the help a lot.

[gunmettle]

No problem. [ He hopes??? ] Good luck on the rest of your squares.
