[there's a note of obvious delight in itsuki's voice? is he perhaps on the precipice of a new buzen discovery, or is he counting buzen chickens before they hatch]
... I'm still not the type to fish for compliments, you know. [they've talked about this before, but he still seems pleased. he lifts itsuki's hand to kiss his knuckles] But... thanks.
[he could list compliments back, and honestly he might still do it but to sum up everything he's feeling....]
but buzen just smiles at that, feeling something warm settle in his chest at the words. more than any compliments, he's really just happy to know that itsuki loves him....
he reaches out with his free hand to cup itsuki's cheek and guide him closer for a kiss, lingering and soft underneath the ever-changing light,]
[he makes a soft, happy noise at the kiss. at the fact that buzen's taken the words right from his mouth. he can feel the ring around his finger, thinks of the red string that's surely connecting them both right now, right here.]
...Come on, the day's not over yet.
[how wonderful that they're still here, just the two of them, both experiencing something new. itsuki's content to wander the exhibits with buzen, sneaking kisses every now and then,]
[Itsuki still looks curious, but also resigned in a way he can only be after hearing all the stuff wicked and buzen have apparently done together?? can anything be more shocking than what buzen's already told him.......
more importantly,]
Fake... Was it an illusion or something?
[itsuki doesn't remember seeing a beach in the gy, maybe it was a one time event kind of thing...]
he'll let his free hand rest over itsuki's shirt where buzen knows for a fact that he bit him fairly recently? or held on too tight? ghosting over his hips and then around his collarbone...]
... if you're sure?
[SO MANY HICKIES JUST OUT THERE,
i actually
don't know if hickies would stay on buzen bc he can just get repairs done when he's back from missions and all marks on him disappear help,]
Itsuki smiles, he likes making these plans, and he's looking forward to seeing Buzen's excited face again. He pulls Buzen closer to him,]
Come on, let's see what else we can find here.
[like SHARKS... POISONOUS FISH... there's a sign that says 'mermaid show' which immediately intrigues itsuki? He looks on as the performer swims around in their tail....... does buzen think this is a real mermaid]
[itsuki grips buzen's hand back as he opens his mouth to answer this question when?
someone?
pushes in between them?
Itsuki has to instinctively lift their hands up higher to avoid getting separated, as their tiny little interloper bunches her little hand in buzen's shirt,
'She's a mermaid.'

itsuki tries to fight the grin and fails,]
I'm not. [he is?] I just think you're really cute?
[bait can be more than for feeshes]
no subject
[and he's not sure if he likes it.....]
no subject
...Are you pouting?
[there's a note of obvious delight in itsuki's voice? is he perhaps on the precipice of a new buzen discovery, or is he counting buzen chickens before they hatch]
no subject
Am I....?
[idiot,]
no subject
I think you are! Cute...
[his boyfriend is sooooo cute]
no subject
his brow furrows.......]
I just really don't know if it suits me... but if you think so....
[then..................................................... fine,]
no subject
Heh, it's not the only word that I think suits you.
[he'll tug buzen along, turning into a long tunnel fashioned out of glass, fish swimming leisurely along the walls and ceiling,]
You're brave, reliable, strong, really fast, trustworthy, sexy -- [why did he have to add that] and caring. I can think of a dozen more.
no subject
... I'm still not the type to fish for compliments, you know. [they've talked about this before, but he still seems pleased. he lifts itsuki's hand to kiss his knuckles] But... thanks.
[he could list compliments back, and honestly he might still do it but to sum up everything he's feeling....]
I love you.
[that sounds like the sincerest summary,]
no subject
itsuki now: oh n
he blushes, as always, at buzen's sincerity. the color stands out all the more underneath the reflection of water playing across his face,]
...I love you too.
[he doesn't add another teasing remark... he just holds buzen's hand and gazes at him adoringly, gayes at the aquarium]
no subject
but buzen just smiles at that, feeling something warm settle in his chest at the words. more than any compliments, he's really just happy to know that itsuki loves him....
he reaches out with his free hand to cup itsuki's cheek and guide him closer for a kiss, lingering and soft underneath the ever-changing light,]
Lucky me, then.
[to have itsuki's love.]
no subject
...Come on, the day's not over yet.
[how wonderful that they're still here, just the two of them, both experiencing something new. itsuki's content to wander the exhibits with buzen, sneaking kisses every now and then,]
We should go swimming in the ocean next time.
no subject
... would there be this many fish there?
[in the ocean.....
he
doesn't really know how oceans work?]
no subject
I... I think so? Since that's where the fish live...
{he tilts his head, curious]
Have you only been on the shore?
[itsuki about to remember paraiso]
no subject
[weird situation that one,,]
But even that one was fake, and I didn’t get to swim much in it.
no subject
more importantly,]
Fake... Was it an illusion or something?
[itsuki doesn't remember seeing a beach in the gy, maybe it was a one time event kind of thing...]
no subject
buzen looks thoughtful]
Mm... A simulation-type area showed up in the carnival... when I tried to conjure up a beach, it showed me Shimabara during war.
[and all its gruesome history, but he will move along so he doesn't actually linger on the topic because they're on a date?]
Anyway, it definitely wasn't an actual ocean that had fish inside it or anything. I think I'd like to see that.
no subject
ah... hm, itsuki kisses the back of buzen's hand, looking thoughtful]
...Wanna go to the beach then? We could take the subway... or get there from the citadel?
[their date in shinjuku is already shaping up to be very fun, but itsuki wouldn't mind moving locations as long as he's with buzen,
are they gonna see any fish i feel like they'll have to scuba dive for that]
no subject
buzen tilts his head....]
Sure. We can try to get there? Though do we need to dress differently for it?
[swimsuits or something????]
no subject
Yeah, we have to wear swimming trunks? Clothes we can swim in. [speedo, no] We can probably buy them at a store here.
[buzen wears a speedo and jae-ha's just immediately there]
no subject
[ . . . but also.
he'll let his free hand rest over itsuki's shirt where buzen knows for a fact that he bit him fairly recently? or held on too tight? ghosting over his hips and then around his collarbone...]
... if you're sure?
[SO MANY HICKIES JUST OUT THERE,
i actually
don't know if hickies would stay on buzen bc he can just get repairs done when he's back from missions and all marks on him disappear help,]
no subject
Oh.
[right. The hickies... normally he wouldn't mind but,
There are
A lot?]
No one will see them while we're in the water, probably.
no subject
but buzen just laughs]
Alright then.
[he kisses itsuki's cheek and squeezes his hand, dropping his other one so he can stop distracting his boyfriend with fleeting touches]
Sounds like we know our next destination then.
no subject
Itsuki smiles, he likes making these plans, and he's looking forward to seeing Buzen's excited face again. He pulls Buzen closer to him,]
Come on, let's see what else we can find here.
[like SHARKS... POISONOUS FISH... there's a sign that says 'mermaid show' which immediately intrigues itsuki? He looks on as the performer swims around in their tail....... does buzen think this is a real mermaid]
no subject
he genuinely has no idea what he's looking at,]
.... are they okay in there? Why are they part fish?
[he just asks these questions so sincerely and aloud, as he takes itsuki's hand and wanders in closer... he wants to make contact,]
no subject
someone?
pushes in between them?
Itsuki has to instinctively lift their hands up higher to avoid getting separated, as their tiny little interloper bunches her little hand in buzen's shirt,
'She's a mermaid.'
