Buzen... [said in a tone of awe and wonder...]

[...]

What exactly made you notice this time...?

[hasteful]

I'm pretty sure you just implied we'll be having sex later.

[BE LESS BLUNT]

[nightchild]

[help

unfortunately itsuki doesn't look like he have a problem with this scenario,]

...Should I just be more upfront from now on?

[NO! BE LESS BLUNT!]

[hasteful]

[buzen shakes his head]

No, you don't have to - it's kinda fun to try to figure it out, like a puzzle.

[but low stakes so he really doesn't have to think that hard. it's just that sometimes he can anticipate when itsuki is being needy and sometimes the banging is a nice surprise,]

[nightchild]

[this would be so cute if it was for more wholesome subjects than 'itsuki wants to bang buzen' but itsuki think it's cute anyway because he's a heathen,]

...I hope I don't confuse you too much. [jokingly but also?

he takes buzen's hand and draws him closer, a little more seriously]

I don't want to become someone who's hard to read -- especially to you.

[sometimes u pointedly ignore the person u like during party games and confuse him with weird lessons about kissing]

[hasteful]

[buzen will take itsuki's hand and interlacing their fingers in response, bringing it up to his mouth so he can press a kiss to itsuki's knuckles]

Anything you confuse me on, you clear up pretty quickly. I mean... you know what I am - it's pretty common for us to not understand things the first time.

But you don't have to worry about that.

I think even if there's things I might find confusing, I feel confident in how much I know you.

[nightchild]

[i like how buzen assigned 'zero understanding of what flirting is' to all swords,

still, itsuki's eyes soften at that,]

I like it when you see me.

I used to get pretty scared at being seen, but... not anymore. Not when it's you.

[itsuki lost his fear of being perceived thanks to being wifed up by buzen]

[hasteful]

[kashuu is an outlier kashuu cannot be counted "some other swords understand flirting" just kashuu -

but buzen will just smile at that, soft and sweet as he leans in to give itsuki a proper kiss like it'll help reassure him.]

Why did you not want to be seen...? I like everything about you.

[so why hide?]

[nightchild]

[I'VE SEEN SENGO?

a kwiss... itsuki relaxes into it, and only pulls away to answer buzen's question. otherwise he'd be perfectly happy making out with buzen in the swimsuit store,]

...I guess I thought I'd disappoint people. Like they'd realize I'm not actually as nice or dependable as I try to seem. That I can't give them what they want, even after all my promises...

[he'll start tugging buzen along so he can finish their shopping trip, and so he can distract himself a little from his embarrassment...]

[hasteful]

[sengo is a blushing virgin

. . . ? but buzen tilts his head at that even as he lets itsuki lead him along, following after obediently while the other takes lead.]

What do you mean? You've always followed through on what you've said to me...

[nightchild]

[:///

itsuki smiles at that,]

You never wanted anything from me. The moment we first met -- I could tell that you were someone who focused on other people over yourself. So I never got the sense that you wanted me to be someone else... and I didn't feel like I had to lie.

...That was the first time I met anyone like you. Everyone else... They're not bad or anything, but they were different.

[hasteful]

[ . . . ? it confuses buzen, just a little. he can think of a lot of people like that, even people at the prism.]

... mm. Well, I'm glad I could give you that. I don't want you to feel like you have to lie or pretend to be someone else.

I've always liked you - I've only come to like you more and more.

[nightchild]

[itsuki looks at the row of swimming goggles like this will somehow stop him from blushing,

he coughs into his hand, a-hem. then... a thought occurs to him, it's like a little lightbulb,]

...Why did you like me?

[he can recall that first meeting... he was just being his performative slut self,

or is it just that buzen likes everyone and there was no one he really disliked? he feels like this is also a good answer]

[hasteful]

.... umm, I didn't really have a reason not to?

[HE REALLY JUST LIKES EVERYONE BY DEFAULT

but he tries to think back on it....]

... I liked that you were easy to help, and accepting of my help... Some people weren't, and I couldn't figure out what to do to make their time easier.

When you called me Buu-kun, I also thought that was pretty funny. [FUNNY???] I felt better about calling you Suki.... some people don't always like it when I shorten their name, but some names are long.... or hard to pronounce...

[nightchild]

[FUNNY.....

this is so like buzen though, wow... funny how behavior that confused itsuki back then just endears buzen even more to him now...]

...Mm, that's why I called you Buu-kun. I was hoping you wouldn't like it.

[the difference between them............]

You wanted to help me, and I just wanted to see what would make you uncomfortable.

[hasteful]

Really?

[HE JUST

COULDN'T TELL

HELP]

.... you probably couldn't find anything, huh..... I didn't feel uncomfortable at all....

[nightchild]

[a performative slut meets his ultimate enemy... a good-hearted himbo

itsuki laughs,]

Not even when I bit you?

[hasteful]

Garou-san beat you to it?

[nightchild]

...Don't phrase it like that...

[HE DOESN'T WANT



TO BE JEALOUS



OF GAROU!!!!!!!!!!

puts a pair of goggles around buzen's face]

[hasteful]

[GOGGLES? he's so confused and uncomfortable. he immediately tries to shake them off like a dog who was forced into a sweater he doesn't like]

Do I look like Kuwa...?

[nightchild]

[i can't believe itsuki finally made buzen uncomfortable, physically

he lifts the goggles so they're not over buzen's eyes]

I think we need these if we're gonna go swimming in the ocean.

[itsuki is both a malewife and a mom, he's the type of guy who gets everything you might possibly need on a trip]

[hasteful]

You're overthinking it! The ocean's been there forever, and these eye things are totally new! I'm sure we can do just fine without them.

[or at least buzen can? he will take them off and put them on itsuki....

and then turn to wander off because he wants to look at the next thing!]

[nightchild]

[HE REALLY BLINDED ITSUKI AND WANDERED OFF.....

itsuki pulls off the goggles... he grabs another pair just in case and follows after,]

It's been around forever, so it's had time to get more -- [what's the word again] polluted? It's not as clean as it used to be.

[tho he guesses if buzen gets EYE GERMS he could just get repaired and be as good as new.... itsuki's twink body though...]

[hasteful]

[yea he doesn't want goggles and was like 'that's that!' but buzen will just laugh at that and then reach out for itsuki's hand again.]

Then you should wear them, I guess.

[BUZEN JUST DECIDED HE DOESN'T WANT TO]

[nightchild]

[HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO?

itsuki shocked because buzen has never denied him anything except for wearing GOGGLES I GUESS??? IM SHAKING]

First the ice cream, now this...

[he holds onto both pairs anyway because he wants the illusion of choice... and looks at a hello kitty beach towel with a vaguely shocked expression on his face,]
