[hmm.

itsuki's simple, in that he wants to care about everything the person he loves is involved in. even if it's something as far off as the concept of war. he's thinking less about the big picture and more about how he just wants to be with Buzen, he wants to share that with him.

but he also knows that he's human, and that buzen is a sword. and he knows they've just come from a place where they both died -- even if it hadn't been permanent. maybe that's why Itsuki decides to shelve the subject for now. he tugs on Buzen's hand and ducks his head down so he can kiss him, soft and lingering.]

...Okay. Let's talk about it later then.

[they'll talk about it again so they can chef's kiss fight]

Will you bring your phone with you at least? I'd like to talk to you for however long you're gone for.

[hasteful]

[there is a part of buzen that wonders if this is selfish. if he is asking itsuki to remain in one place when he knows that buzen will be doing something dangerous. but he also think that there is something inherently different to it.

in that itsuki is a human, and buzen is a sword. and a sword is always meant to break before a human.

the kiss keeps him from saying it, which means they will definitely be arguing about it later.]

Oh... yeah - I can definitely bring my phone. I don't see why that'd be a problem. You'd just have to wait until I can message you back... but I'll always message you back.

[nightchild]

[:/

it's like itsuki has some kind of sixth sense for when to kiss your boyfriend before you can get into a huge argument with them

for now, he thinks that's enough. better than the letters -- for one thing, he'll know that Buzen's alive and for another, they can have an actual conversation in real time... or in whatever time buzen can spare.

will it be enough? he's not sure.

but he thinks he should at least try first,]

It'll be our first time texting each other. [...] I liked reading your letters, but I'm glad I won't have to wait as long to hear back from you.

[hasteful]

[that actually gets buzen to laugh, his demeanor immediately softening as they steer away from the serious topic of missions]

Why would I text you or send letters if I ever had the option to be next to you? [???] I want to stay with you as much as I can too, you know.

You're the only one I want to be this close to all the time.

[nightchild]

[for now...]

...Mm, I feel the same way. [he's not blushing blushing, but there is a faint dusting of pink on his cheeks,

he lifts up Buzen's hand so he can kiss the center of his palm,]

I like being close to you, but I also like getting to read what you write to me. It's why I kept the letters I wrote to you. They're like tokens of our love.

[itsuki is such a gushy romantic and i find that very funny when buzen is :o? about it]

[hasteful]

Ah... Actually, now that I think about it, I don't know if my last letter ever made it to you....

[he'll let itsuki kiss the center of his palm - but he'll also reach out to cup itsuki's cheek after? hmmm...]

What did I even write...

[idiot

buffoon

moron]

[nightchild]

[





he kisses the hand cupping his cheek, and looks at him. with. hopeful eyes.]

Do you remember a part of it maybe? A line?

[:( buzen.....]

[hasteful]

[help he's so hopeful buzen feels the guilt coming]

[hasteful]

[ . . . . hmmmmmm.]

... that week was...

[oh right. it was after meteion and roxana both died. he seems thoughtful about it for a moment, before he uses that hand on itsuki's cheek to guide him closer.]

Some of it was related to the mission... but for what wasn't...

Part of it was about Ro, but we figured that out. And I think I wanted to reassure you that I had Mete-chan... [he pauses, and then laughs] I thought about the letters you sent me, and how they touched me. I still don't think that I'm very good with words, though I'll try to be if that's what you want. Even then, I think I only know simple things.

Like... how I'm yours. And I want to belong to you.

And that I'd cut into anything that ever tried to take you from me.

[



itsuki died that week so imagine how buzen felt about danny! anyway it's fine it's still romantic even though buzen doesn't realize it's romantic,]

[nightchild]

[he follows Buzen's hand, leaning into it as he huffs a little,]

...You are good with words. [softly, the way his heart is beating faster is proof of that.

and he'll tug Buzen's hand to his chest so he can feel it for himself,]

Whether it's simple or elaborate... that doesn't matter. I love your sincerity.

[imagine getting a letter from your dead boyfriend saying that they have to talk,,,,

but the rest of that is very romantic! even if buzen doesn't realize! it's not as if Itsuki hadn't realized how upset Buzen was, but this does give a bigger picture of how he must have felt at learning that Itsuki was dead...]

[hasteful]

[ . . . ? he tilts his head a little when he notices the beating of itsuki's heart, like he's not sure what he said that managed to make him feel that way. but still...

he can't say that he hates it. it's satisfying, to know how he can affect his lover even when he doesn't mean to. (buzen will never realize the extent that he does,,)]

Mm... then I'm glad you think so. I only ever want to give you the truth.

I'll do better about telling you in other ways too, even though I like saying it to your face the most. If you want tokens... then I'll figure it out so I can give you everything you want.

[HE'S SO DOTING FOREVER.......]

[nightchild]

[his little head tilt.... and the way he's so doting...

buzen might not know the extent, but... isn't that one of the reasons why Itsuki fell for him? because he treated him like he'd treat anyone -- genuine and soft. and that kindness drew itsuki to him.]

You can always ask me. You don't have to figure it out all by yourself. [he sounds so amused... he moves his head as if he's going to kiss the hand cupping his face,

but he'll nibble on it instead, a little playful nip]

Remember what I said? [it's been a while honestly, but] You're not responsible for making me happy. Rather, I'd like it if you were happy with me.

[hasteful]

[stop biting him

buzen manages to look confused at the nip... what did he say....?]

Mm...? Of course I'm happy with you.

I just want to make sure there's nothing left for you to want.

[nightchild]

[maybe he should stop being such a service top if he doesn't want to get BITTEN!!!

itsuki hums]

Nothing left that I want...? [HM...] I don't think that's possible.

[hasteful]

[WHAT DOES THIS MEAN WHY IS ITSUKI'S INSTINCT TO BITE

but also!!!

he looks so concerned right now!!!]

Eh? Why not?

[nightchild]

[maybe itsuki's trying to be a top too.....]

Hmm... Do you wanna try guessing?

[itsuki don't do this to ur 8 int boyfriend]

What's something I'll always want?

[hasteful]

[he can keep trying

buzen just looks so stumped i hate this so much why is itsuki this way]

...? K... Kisses?

[DON'T JUST

THROW THE FIRST WORD OUT THERE]

[nightchild]

[WHY ARE ITSUKI AND BUZEN THIS WAY

his lips are twitching, and he'll kiss Buzen's fingers for this good try]

You're close...

[buzen is right in that he'll always want kisses]

[hasteful]

Oh! Sex?

[WHY DID YOU MAKE ME TYPE THIS TAG]

[nightchild]

[i mean







HE'S NOT WRONG.........................]

[nightchild]

[no he's just going to laugh and hug his boyfriend, i hate this]

I meant you, Buzen.

[he ruffles his hair, fond. SO LIKE. KISSES AND SEX ARE BOTH TECHNICALLY RIGHT I GUESS!!! GOD!!!!]

I'll always want you.

[hasteful]

[HUG????? SOFTE????????? AFTER THIS STUPID GAME??????]

Eh....

But you'll always have me...

[so how could itsuki ever be left wanting for anything! even buzen can admit that they can't just fuck all day everyday!]

[nightchild]

[can't believe buzen didn't say that bracket text out loud]

This must be what love is like too. Always wanting someone...

No matter where you are or what you do, I'll always look to you first -- and want to be with you. ...That's the kind of impact you have on me.

[he's also extremely needy and yan adjacent but it's okay, this can be cute too]

[hasteful]

[funny.... buzen is just laughing a bit at that, amused. he presses kisses to itsuki's cheek even if he's admitting that he's needy and yan adjacent]

Mm... well - I'll always want to be with you too. I told you that we Gous are used to waiting for each other, and wanting to see each other...

But that's how I feel about you, too.

Like no matter what, I won't be content until you're next to me again.

[nightchild]

[thanks for continuing to validate his yan and neediness,

it's true what they say about being with the one you love... you only ever feel happier...]

...I'm glad that we met, and that we're in love with each other.

[now that he's here with buzen, he can't imagine any other kind of future or replace buzen with anyone else. it's just -- impossible, and he doesn't even want to conceive it.

he'll cherish what he has right here and now. he'll curl into this hug for a moment before stepping back. the lanterns might be out. but they should probably start heading back...

well, he doesn't care what they do next, as long as he can walk hand in hand with Buzen]
