Skipping the line was a risky move. Spending as much time recovering so that the pulses were higher was a really good strategy. Then again, the pressure of being the last pair of the entire shakeup could get to you as well. As it slowly became your turn to enter the cockpit, any amount of thoughts could run through your head. It did not look like Kenji or Haruki were that tired. Kenji was a bit more nervous and neurotic than most. It all could have been for his sake. Haruki was also probably feeling some amount of pressure after the Pulse Burst earlier in the day. That would definitely make doubts about his performance appear. Regardless of why it was happening so soon, it was now about to happen. Kazuki watched them go up along with the others in the viewing platform. He silently wished them both luck. Once they had received their visors from the staff, it was time for them to get inside. This part was the easiest for viewing. Nothing had happened and everything was exciting. For those actually doing it, getting to the cockpit could be an immensely daunting task. It was now time.
Watching them until the monitor flickered on was easy. Once the picture began to come in, they could see the picture of their combined world. Their world had the unique kitchenware typical of the blond twins. That was their big quirk when it came to synchronization. Kenji was about to get on the bed to start emitting his Black Pulse when a hand on his shoulder stopped him. Haruki looked at him and said "You don't need to do all that. After that shit earlier, my White Pulse is trash right now. It's not going to work." Kenji looked at him in annoyance. "What!? Why the hell didn't you tell me before we got here!?" he demanded. That was something that happened to pilots from time to time. It really cratered your ability to Top. Having only a few hours of rest was not enough. Kenji looked despondent. This was not what he wanted to have happen now of all times. "What are we going to do now?" Kenji moaned. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Haruki place his hand on either side of Kenji's face. Kenji's eyes widened in fear. "Look at me! We're friends, right!?" Haruki said. Kenji nodded.
Releasing his face, Haruki took a couple of steps back. "Just because my White Pulse is shot, it doesn't mean we can't do this. You do have to trust me though." He then turned so his back was facing the smaller boy. "Can you trust me?" he asked. Kenji just looked at him. "You want me... to Top you?" he asked in disbelief. Haruki looked over his shoulder at Kenji as he spread himself. It was a very provocative move in Kazuki's opinion. "Yeah Ken. I want you to Top me. We can do it if we try it out. Kazu already Topped me twice. You were able to Top Kaito yesterday. This can work if you trust me." Haruki said. He then began to emit Black Pusle. Seeing that startled Kenji into action. He began emitting White Pulse to match him. They were up against the sink at first. They had managed to connect, but Haruki's Black Pulse kept dipping bellow. After a while Kenji pulled out in despair. "It's not working." he said. Haruki ran his hands through his hair, thinking about a solution. He groaned before looking at his partner. "Ken. Remember Aoi? The spanking? Try it." he said getting on the floor.
Trying again, Haruki was able to get his Black Pulse back to a 52. Kenji, wanting to respond to his friend's determination, got into position behind him. They were able to connect again. His White Pulse was a a measly 54. They had no wiggle room to work with here. If Haruki dipped below a 48, the connection would fail. He had to do his best to hold it for at least a minute. Due to his run-ins with Aoi, he knew that it was possible to keep his focus with a bit of pain. Aoi would spank the twins until their asses were bright red on both cheeks. Kenji was not someone who would normally do something like that. However, desperate times called for desperate measures. When the pulse Haruki was emitting went down, Kenji slapped his ass. "Fuck! You're hands are spicier than I thought they were. Shit!" Haruki chuckled as he clutched the maroon bedsheet. "We could have been doing this on the bed, but you're such a pervert it probably never crossed your mind." Kenji said, palming the area. As unseemly as it all was to look at, they managed to hold it. The world on the monitor soon faded to black.
