Looking around was one thing. He was darting his eyes between everyone as if hoping they did not have to go first after all. Aito and Kenji were not budging. Kaito gave a very deep sigh and said "Alright. Let's get this over with then." Haruto helped him up to his feet. "That's the spirit! Once we get through this, you'll feel much better." He did not respond. They got their gear and entered the cockpit. Kazuki, Aito, Haruki and Kenji were all still waiting patiently for them to appear on the monitor in the viewing platform. Haruto and Kaito leaned forward so that they were butt to butt. Their visors flipped on and their combined world began to generate. There were still the various kitchen appliances in the room. However, there was a distinctive bed this time. Haruto was very surprised, yet pleased to see it. "Good job, Kaito. You got a bed in here!" he praised. Kaito just rolled his eyes. "! know that you're a big pervert. If I did not focus on a bed, there wouldn't be one in here!" he chided. Haruto only shrugged. "Let's break it in then!" he said. Kaito got into position. "Top me!" he begged, swaying his hips.
Kazuki thought that it was a really bold strategy. Using sex appeal was one way to forge a bond. It had a big risk though. Haruto could not take the advances. It was clear that neither of the twins were entirely straight. Haruto had offered himself up to Kazuki for sex already. When Kaito had offered it an hour earlier, Haruto had turned him down. He said that he would let Kaito fuck his ass as a last resort. Kaito was just not seen as sexually attractive to the much larger, blond boy. Kenji was not even offered sex at all. It seemed that they did not want to have sex with anyone they would not feel comfortable Topping them in the cockpit. Kazuki Topped Haruki and was gentle and patient with him. Haruto responded to that. Especially after all of the abuse he went through with Aoi. Kazuki would never take him up on the offer, but it was clear to him that he had their respect. He had gained Haruki's respect when he Bottomed for the twin. It revealed an aspect of Haruki that he did not know he had in him. Kazuki remembered how he looked and sounded at that time. Kaito had not earned any of that.
Gulping, Haruto got to work emitting his White Pulse. He got to a passable 53 for his first time. Kaito's Black Pulse was at 54. Both of them together were able to connect and synchronize, however Kaito could not hold it. Their combined pulse output was already low as it was. 107 was bad. There was not much room for it to get lower and keep the synchronization. Kaito's Black Pulse dipped below 49 multiple times. Every time that happened, they had to do it over again. They needed to hold it up for a full minute. When the 5 minutes had elapsed, they simply could not get it together. When they got out of the cockpit, neither of them were really happy with their result. The pairing had failed. It was not a very pleasant feeling, but they would be able to have 2 more chances. They were slow to get out of the cockpit. Kazuki looked over at Aito to see if he was ready to go. He looked confident. Aito noticed that he was being watched and turned to face Kazuki. "Are you ready to go!?" Aito asked. Kazuki nodded his head. He was more than ready to go. This was their second attempt in the shakeup.
