[ - and at the sound of approaching footsteps, he lets his hand fall away as buzen comes running back in, a shitton of fabrics tucked over his arm
but he also yells:]
Surprise!! Did I do that right, Tsuru-san?
[which is when the crane will duck in, eyes bright and grin gleaming. 'Bingo!!! What do you say, Itsuki, Mikazuki? Were we able to surprise even our two moons?!']
It would be a lie if Itsuki wasn't struck by this moment -- curiosity forming a question in his throat -- 'mikazuki-san, how long has it been since you've had this form? had a heart?' because the brief glimpse he can see in the other sword's eyes feels a lot like the clouds parting, just a little, to show the inscrutable moon.
it takes him longer to catch the sound of footsteps, which means he absolutely does jump when he hears Buzen's bright voice, followed immediately by Tsurumaru's triumphant voice.]
T-Tsurumaru-san... Buzen... The both of you definitely got me, so...
[THEN AGAIN HE'S THE EASIER MOON BY FAR TO SURPRISE????
he immediately goes over to Buzen to help him with the FABRICS in his arms, but also to take him by the chin to check over his make-up, just a little gay fussing over his boyfriend to put his world back to rights......]
[in comparison, mikazuki doesn't look surprised at all. if anything he catches tsurumaru's expectant look in his direction and just smiles back. 'Startling the calm of one moon is in and of itself quite the accomplishment, wouldn't you say?'
to which tsurumaru just laughs and goes to pick up the fabrics from buzen's arm since itsuki is FUSSING - 'The time in which we are able to capture both is coming soon, Mikazuki, just wait - I'll take these and help you then. Have you accomplished all you wanted?'
the two will begin to walk RIGHT BACK OUT OF THE DRESSING ROOM through some unspoken understanding they're going elsewhere but mikazuki will catch itsuki's eye on his way out as he smiles: 'What could be left for an old man such as myself to want? See you on stage, gentlemen.'
and then that's how they left just as quickly as they came....]
Later, Mikazuki-san, Tsuru-san! [waving as they leave since he can't pull his face away from itsuki's hold...
though he looks into his eyes a little bit after, curious,] You okay? Mikazuki-san's definitely got an aura, right? Is that what it is...?
[itsuki will wave too, idly noticing that familiar, easy companionship Mikazuki and Tsurumaru have with one another. He thinks both swords are on the friendlier side compared to the rest, but even he can notice that their bond with each other is a little different from the ones they have with other swords??? romance....???
but for now he shelves those thoughts -- along with the thoughts mikazuki managed to inspire in itsuki who runs from plot all the time, in favor of focusing on buzen.]
It is a pretty impressive aura. It reminds me of just how long he must have been around for.
[that brief glimpse of sadness reminded him of buzen...
`I wonder, would it be enough to remind them that they are not alone?`
Itsuki loosens his grip a little, but keeps his hand on Buzen's chin. the other arm slides around Buzen's waist to pull him a little closer,]
...Your lipstick's smudged.
[Itsuki murmurs, before tilting his chin up further so he can kiss him firmly on the mouth, open-mouthed and hungry. he thinks of sadness and hearts and breaking and loneliness, thinks of his short life compared to buzen's long one, and finally, thinks of how nice it would be -- if he could always be here for him]
[buzen rn: did they talk about something important or is itsuki just being needy
that said!
he has no reason to go against this either. itsuki was so careful about putting on buzen's makeup to begin with, but he's not really thinking about that? his lipstick's smudged but his boyfriend wants a kissy and that just seems immediately more urgent to him. he lets his own arms loop around itsuki's neck as he meets him for the kiss, leaning in and making a soft noise against his mouth.
though he does pull back a little early, if only because he's pretty confused]
Itsuki remembers just in time that he shouldn't smooch Buzen on the cheek with his lipstick stained mouth -- he ruined his lipstick but he can maybe salvage the rest of his make-up... how long do they have until buzen has to go on stage.....
so he settles for looking at his confused boyfriend instead,]
...Yeah. We just talked a little about hearts and duty. How it must make it harder... and how it also makes you stronger.
[he can't imagine buzen ever wishing that pain away, not when he's always been so open about carrying it with him]
I can't imagine how it must feel. But I'd like to always be here to talk about it with you, and the others.
... I guess Mikazuki-san is always thinking about stuff like that.
[thoughtfully, but then he'll just lift his hands up to itsuki's face to guide him back in for a kiss then - as long as nothing was said to make him actually upset, then buzen is willing to accept it. would buzen think about punching mikazuki for itsuki one day?
yeah, probably
but it's fine no harming revered elders on this day]
... you are here. You're supporting all of us. Not just me, but Kiyo-san and Yasu-san and all the Gous, too. You actually came all this way and still stick by us.
I know that well... it only makes me love you more.
itsuki huffs out a laugh, the tips of his ears turning pink. he'd call it luck again, except it really was a series of choices that led the both of them here,]
You're always so direct. I don't think you've ever been clumsy about your feelings...
I love that about you.
[especially when itsuki didn't dtr until later, he was messy]
And I want to kiss you again, but I should really fix your lipstick...
buzen will just pause then, pulling away just so he can try to find it - ] Oh, yeah...
[he'll reach for itsuki's hand to lead him even though it's like 3 feet away? but it's fine. buzen will just lift up the dangly earrings in his hand, they're probably just really sturdy clip-ons]
buzen smiles into the kiss, a little amused at that. he lets his arms loop around itsuki’s waist to encourage him closer as he gives him a simply absurd amount of kisses
buzen looks around to see if there’s a clock somewhere in the room
he’s clearly torn between it’s true that it’s right before showtime but itsuki didn’t answer the question and yet it was still obvious what he wants so
does he have to tap into something abstract and philosophical, like the philosophy of 'don't be horny'... he spent all of pre-concert promising kotegiri that he would be helpful and now he's just gonna be a slut? character development is itsuki learning uno guilt. mikazuki asked him to be someone he can rely on, does that include being horny pre-concert,
he hugs buzen]
No, we can't. Your make-up... I need to fix it...
[he sounds so sad, itsuki is struggling so hard and for what]
[that's forever -- it's really not -- that's forever........ 😩😩😩
squeeze.... and he'll very reluctantly let go so he can focus properly and fix buzen's make-up.]
Just one last thing...
[he tugs down buzen's turtleneck so he can suck at the skin there, hard enough to leave a bright red love bite, then steps back so he can admire his handiwork! if he can't be horny then he can be horny in other ways!!!]
[buzen's flustered face....... nooooo he said he wouldn't be horny........................
he'll distract himself with this very funny question]
Hmm... What if it's both? The selfless part of me wants to see you off... And the impatient part can't wait for you to come back to me.
[he tilts his head and leans in, except instead of kissing buzen and ruining his lipstick YET AGAIN, he gently nips at his earlobe, careful to avoid the clip-on.]

If you think the lipstick is that important, I guess...
[buzen has no idea he just wants to give his boyfriend what he wants]
no subject
Mm -- it is...
[HE SAYS, BETWEEN KISSES]
But maybe we can leave that for the end... Is the jewelry on the table?
[time to clip an earring on buzen and give him a million more kisses bc earrings are sexy]

These?
no subject
Itsuki stares at these dangly clip on earrings like they're tsurumaru and buzen running into the room to surprise him,]
...Wow.
[he'll take them and hold them up to the light]
These are really dangerous...
no subject
? ]
Eh? How? Do you want me to take them back?
[WHAT IF THE EARRINGS HURT ITSUKI]
no subject
It's a good thing. [HE THINKS... the condition of his horny.... vs his jealousy is a long and passionate battle...
Anyway he'll carefully clip them on and then gently flick one with his finger,]
They make you look really sexy.
[immediately goes for more kisses]

Do you want to have sex?

… maybe if we’re quick…
