Title: Tactics
Pairing: Ban/Ginji
Word Count: 185
Summary: Means to an end.
A/N: The theme was 'radio-cassette player.'
There's a little second-hand shop that Ginji loves, with a handsome cassette-player sitting in the grimy window, mantled in dust.
It's much too expensive to be contemplating, but he does all the same, because it's just the sort of old-fashioned contraption that Ban would like (he bought the beetle after all), and would be absolutely perfect for Ban to play his Vivaldi on.
So Ginji walks by everyday in hopes that the price will drop, and it will, because he's asked Paul, and he said that all prices do, eventually, and Paul is never wrong about the important things.
When it does, Ginji will be ready with his collection of loose change jangling in his pockets – it's the only type of money he has luck with – and that very night, he'll present it to Ban, maybe steal a quick peck on the cheek. If all goes well, Ban will pin him to his seat and pry his mouth open with his tongue.
And in his palms, the black box will shrill and die in a flare of static crackle.
But it won't matter at all.
