Kiribaku Addams Family AU!
Eijirou ‘Kiri’ Addams is In Love with the grumpy, feisty, adorable blonde mailman that recently took over for old mister Herbert after his mysterious retirement. He’s got a temper and a rude mouth and Eijirou has never fallen so hard.
Kiri’s tried everything to catch the blonde’s attention: smoke bombs in the mailbox, a nightshade bouquet at the front gate, even spear throwing his mailbag right off his shoulder!
But nothings working. Kiri’s mama says the mailman is just playing hard to get.

Tetsu says he should try and electrocute him; that’s how he wooed Denki.
Shouji didn’t say much, but Kiri was thankful anyways. The Lurches always had a way with words.

Three more weeks of failed attempts and Kiri was beginning to think maybe the mailman was out of his league.
He /was/ pretty and so /manly/! He’d even stopped Riot dead in his tracks!

“What’re you gonna try today, Kiri?” Tetsu asked, plopping himself down across the headstone to follow Kiri’s gaze, “Hot tar? A flail?”
Eijirou groaned and dropped his head in his hands. “Those aren’t good enough for him! He didn’t even look twice at the mummified heads...”

“You’re being loud,” Hitoshi mumbled, and they both looked up to find him perched beneath Muerto the vulture’s statue. He blinked tiredly at them before laying back down, waving his hand towards the road. “Have you tried talking to him?”
“And embarrass myself?! Have you seen him, he’s gorgeous!” Kiri shouted, pouting harder at his perpetually tired cousin.
Tetsu barked a laugh from above him, but before he could say anything back, a sharp, cocky voice called from the gate.

“You think I’m gorgeous?”
Kiri whipped around so fast he nearly clobbered himself on the headstone. Tetsu cackled and thumped a hand on Eijirou’s shoulder to keep him from bolting.
Gate, the traitor, had swung open smoothly and polite as could be for the man of Kiri’s dreams.

“I, uhhh...” Kiri stuttered. He was not prepared to actually /talk/ to the man today; he hadn’t even figured out his name yet!
“You the one that’s been trying to scare me off?” The blonde asked, ignoring Kiri’s non-answer and fixing him with a hard stare.

What?
“What?” Scare him off? “No! The opposite!” Eijirou shouted, cringing at his own damn voice and Shinsou’s snort of laughter.
The mailman looked unimpressed. “So the pack of dead fish and spiders in the mailbox was what? A gift?”

“Yes?”
Surprise and a touch of confusion fluttered across the blonde’s face and he looked to the other two men for an explanation. Shinsou rolled his eyes and pointed at Kiri. “My idiot cousin thinks your hot and wants to date you.”

Eijirou whirled around, whisper yelling his incredulity, "Shinsou!?" He'd kill him. He really would. It was a shame it never seemed to stick, though.
"Oh," Kiri spun around /again/, sure he was going to get whiplash, "I see. You could have just said so, Shitty Hair."

"You think it's shitty?" He mumbled, blushing.
The mailman just shook his head, grinning like a knife slice.
After a moment of awkward silence, Tetsu nudged his foot against Kiri's knee and stared at him, side-eying the blonde pointedly.
"Oh! Oh, uh, yeah..." Kiri started, +

swallowing around a lump in his throat, "Would you, uhm... would you be interested?"
The blonde sniffed and straightened, staring down his nose for a long second before smirking. "I get off at 5. You better take me somewhere nice."

This has turned into a real thread so I'm gonna sit down and sketch out a half decent plot before I write myself into a corner. xD
Help me pick where they go for their date!
Coming in at 1.2% above, our boys be going to the 'catacombs'! (Seriously though, how the hell did you all get that so damn close with 500 votes???)
"I don't know anywhere 'nice' though?!" Kiri whined, sidestepping out of reach of Tetsu's axe swing. He dipped back in close with a sword thrust of his own, just nicking the edge of Tetsu's pant leg before they both danced apart.
"That's easy," Tetsu said, throwing his axe at Kiri's face while he grabbed a mace from the wall, "Take him to the old carnival grounds! It's a literal deathtrap, he'd love it!"
"Nah bro," Denki countered, not even bothering to look up from his mess of wiring and soldering supplies as he ducked under his boyfriend's flying weaponry, "That's a third or fourth date spot for when you wanna suck face and get nasty," he paused, +
grabbing the offered pliers from Thing and nodding his thanks, "I vote you guys go to the catacombs."
Kiri smacked the axe out of the air and skipped around Tetsu's mace strike, laughing good-naturedly as the spiked ball lodged itself in the banister and refused to budge.

He slapped the flat edge of his sword against his brother's ass with a panted, "Two out of three, bro?" before turning to give Denki his attention, "The catacombs? Isn't that place kind of, I don't know, stuffy?"
Hitoshi snorted from the rafters.
