[i'll pay someone $10 if they teach buzen what pda is and how it can make people uncomfortable

because unfortunately he doesn't know!!!! he has no idea!!!!! he just blinks a little in surprise, then amusement as he turns his head just to catch itsuki's mouth with his own and give him a proper kissy.....

cause and effect.....

terrible...............]

[nightchild]

[TERRIBLE.........

itsuki moves his hands closer like he's about to pull buzen in by the belt loops for a proper hug but thankfully the taiyaki is cockblocking him,

that and the stall owner coughs LOUDLY,

itsuki breaks away from the kiss, very regretfully, and clears his throat]

Mm, let's put a pause on that. [to the stall owner who looks dead behind the eyes] Sorry -- we're ready to order.

[itsuki doesn't sound sorry at all, he'll never teach buzen about how pda is uncomfy]

[hasteful]

[please sound sorry itsuki - buzen is just going to laugh to himself as he watches the bobaristas do their thing..... wow....]

... they look... chewy...?

[he's never had a boba.... he'll once again sunnily wish the boba stall people a wonderful day!! and then reach so that he can hold the boba for them both. they don't have enough hands for this. he can't hold itsuki's hand anymore, sad]

Maybe there's a table for us to sit at...

[he will immediately start wandering off. too fast,]

[nightchild]

[no more handholding... a sacrifice itsuki must endure after subjecting the bobaristas to pda,

he hurries after Buzen, he doesn't want to become the lost child in this relationship]

It looks pretty crowded... Oh -- there!

[itsuki: buzen's so fast wow
itsuki now: buzen's so fast he'll manage to grab that table that small family is now leaving,]

[hasteful]

[this is true and correct - buzen's specialty really is scouting so as soon as itsuki sees the table, buzen will start heading in that way. as the family is leaving, he will also greet them chipperly: 'Have a great rest of your day!!'

overly friendly guy.....

just so that he can place the takoyaki down on the table to free his hand

so he can look back in the direction he left itsuki and immediately hold a hand out to him, just in case he's feeling needy]

Good eye, Suki!

[nightchild]

[Itsuki's always feeling needy... and he loves being affectionate so he'll immediately take Buzen's hand,

his eyes go down and meet the child's who also takes her father's hand at the same time itsuki takes buzen's. a synapse fires, and a connection is formed, and they both look meaningfully at each other....... itsuki like 'wait? i'm the child?' but then he's distracted by how the parents scoop up the child so she can sit on their shoulders.]

Cute...

[ITSUKI PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR FIANCE]

[hasteful]

[you say this but buzen is never feeling needy. he just follows itsuki's gaze and just laughs a little bit]

Kids? I guess so. Human children are pretty endearing....

[nightchild]

[this is why they fit together so well they balance out the neediness,

itsuki perks up as he sits down across from buzen,]

Right? Having a nice family like that... That's the real dream right there.

[he takes a takoyaki and blows on it a little and holds it out for buzen, this is just instinctive behavior by now]

[hasteful]

Hmm...

[buzen tilts his head, wondering for a moment before he leans in to take the bite of the takoyaki. once he's done chewing....]

... should we try to see if we can see Mete-chan...?

[if itsuki wants to have that family experience again....????]

[nightchild]

[itsuki just immediately looking amused,]

I'd be more than happy to see her again, but would that be okay though?

[buzen the MISSION to protect HUMANITY]

[hasteful]

Probably. She's definitely not from our world. The only people I'm worried about are when I can't tell if they're from our timeline or not...

[th

the way that buzen has just started saying 'our world' and 'our timeline' like itsuki's always belonged here is both soft and kinda funny because he hasn't even noticed

but he will also take a stabby of takoyaki, blowing on it lightly before offering it to itsuki\

[nightchild]

[softe... buzen really brought this scifi noodly twink otome home to be his boyfriend

Itsuki chews on this offering, looking thoughtful.]

Right, you mentioned that before. [their gay lawyers and chinatsu...] Maybe we could invite her over to see us too? I bet the Gous would love her.

[itsuki before: u can't talk about the gous
itsuki now: talking about the gous in the context of happy domesticity]

Who knows? Maybe she'll like it here so much she won't want to leave.

[he's joking but like what if?]

[hasteful]

[ITSUKI WHAT ARE YOUR RULES

buzen is just laughing a little bit at that, tilting his head curiously]

Maybe. If she wanted to be here, we could welcome her in... but you're right that the others would definitely have a lot of fun with her. If she felt all their emotions, it'd probably all be confusion and curiosity.

[but he seems happy... buzen will honestly do his best to try to give itsuki everything he could want -

it's just... that human concept of family that feels a little out of reach. maybe this could be almost as good?]

[nightchild]

[it's itsuki's turn to feed buzen some takoyaki, but he's clearly a little distracted as he does so.... thinking deeply of this family unit...]

...That would be nice. The citadel's a lot more peaceful than the prism too.

[well. the citadel is. itsuki thinks about the mission, and for a moment he can understand why buzen wants him so far away from that part of his life, because he feels the same for meteion.

but it's a nice dream while it lasts -- imagining all three of them together.]

But I know she has her own life to live, and people she cares about in her world. [not everyone runs from plot like itsuki] Talking to her and seeing her from time to time... I think I could be satisfied with just that.

[hasteful]

I'm sure Kiyo-san and Yasu-san would want to see her again, too.

[at least, that's what buzen thinks. he watches itsuki in his thoughtfulness after he's done chewing, and takes a second before going right back to eat. his hand rests on itsuki's cheek, keeping him in place just so that buzen can lean over and press a kiss to his forehead]

... then if that's what you want, that's what'll happen.

[the certain promises that buzen makes, with all the casual confidence that it'll happen... he smiles gently at itsuki before he pulls back and then goes to feed him another bite of octopus ball]

[nightchild]

[itsuki closes his eyes at the kiss, savoring both the softness and the promises buzen always manages to keep. having a family would be wonderful, and seeing meteion again even more so, but

he likes it when it's just the two of them too. he takes a bite of the octopus ball, lips closing into a smile,]

...Yeah. [it's the kind of confidence that itsuki will always believe in,

he'll take turns offering the takoyaki and little red bean fish pastries to buzen,]

We should get dessert too. [something sweet for buzen...] We can eat it on our way to the aquarium.

[hasteful]

[their little food trades... buzen will just laugh at that, tilting his head]

Eating our way through Tokyo, huh? It's definitely different from what we get to eat in the Citadel!

[


that said

he's going to go ahead and just offer the boba out to itsuki. buzen doesn't know how to drink it

he's going to watch him first]

[nightchild]

Right? It's kind of like the food we ate at the prism, but also kind of not...

[itsuki will accept the boba

he looks at it, experimentally tugs on the sealed lid. hm. then he looks at the big ole straw,]

I guess you're supposed to stab the sharp end into it?

[he gently stabs the boba with this sword straw. and then holds it back out for buzen,]

Here.

[hasteful]

[you just want buzen to suck balls

anyway he does

one tapioca ball shoots up the straw at lightning speed and absolutely just fucking clocks him in the back of the throat. he makes a pretty unattractive surprised choking noise]

[nightchild]

[STOP I DIDN'T WANT THIS AND NEITHER DID ITSUKI

itsuki immediately starts whapping him on the back, why do they keep on choking during this date]

Buzen?! Are you okay?

[he looks around for water but he only has his BOBA!!! NO!!! resumes whapping]

[hasteful]

[he probably just swallowed the boba whole....

but he's just coughing now, bringing up a hand to his mouth to cover it at least as he's also trying not to laugh too hard....]

.... I never had a drink attack me before...

[nightchild]

Attack...

[?? ???? ???

the way itsuki is looking at buzen who's trying not to laugh too hard, and all he can think of,]

Buzen... You're so cute... [OKAY??] Wait here, okay? I'll get you some water.

[hasteful]

[he clears his throat a few times but nods....]

Mm, I don't know what I did that was cute but... Thanks, Suki. I'll keep watch of the table.

[obedient!]

[nightchild]

[obedient... also cute... Itsuki moves to walk away, and then he quickly comes back to give buzen a lil cheek smooch]

Everything you do is cute.

[and now it's his turn to wander off to the nearest stall and get some water for his boyfriend, imagine someone hits on buzen right after itsuki kissed him on the cheek]

[hasteful]

[THE FACT THAT HE CAME BACK FOR THIS IS SO FUNNY, buzen makes a little bit of a disbelieving face but it's fine....

anyway yea itsuki wanders off. maybe this is the moment when some girls at a table nearby who missed the cheek kissy finally encouraged their friend to go up and talk to buzen!! she's brave now! good for her!

this is when she'll wander over, trying to think of a topic of conversation - but buzen naturally looks over in her direction and smiles.] Can I help you with something?

[oh no. opportunity. oh no, maybe he was into her too. she blushes near instantly but manages to squeak out, 'C-Can you tell me where you got the taiyaki?' which inspires a quick chat between them where buzen gives her directions and she asks if he'd recommend it!!]

Hmm... Oh - there's still a small sampler one here, do you want to try?

[HE'S SO FRIENDLY THAT'S A GO SIGN, RIGHT, THAT'S TOTALLY IT, SHE SEES HER OPPORTUNITY AND INSTEAD OF ANSWERING HIS QUESTION SHE JUST BLURTS OUT 'I'm Kuroda Sayaka, here's my phone number!'

it's written on a napkin.... she's offering it out to him.......

buzen doesn't know what's going on and reaches to take it...?]

Eh? Ah? Nice to meet you, Saya-san, you can call me Buzen!

[she is suddenly processing the critical hit of 'Saya-san']
