Yeah...? You could always try to practice with us, if you need to. That's what our sparring is for - to make sure we don't lose our edge.
[so maybe itsuki can take on his own form of additional training?
but buzen just laughs softly at the kiss and will shift so that he can also help soap up his arms, his fingers lingering and pressing against muscle as he goes.
after he washes off the soap, he just continues to plant kisses along itsuki's arm... pampering!!]
[the horny is waking up.... the horny is waking up!!!!
buzen doesn't seem to notice though, just laughing a little bit even as he presses affectionate kisses across itsuki's collarbone, then a lingering one over his heart]
He’ll be okay. He’s all healed up so I’m sure he’s just resting now. Maybe you can visit him in a dream sooner than the rest of us… I know he’d be relieved to know you’re okay.
[but buzen is all set too - moving to stand and offer his other hand out too for itsuki to take for balance]
[because buzen won't lie and say that's. not possible. he totally had nightmares after shimabara and that was a mission that succeeded,,,,
anyway he'll let itsuki dry him off, and then reach for another towel to do the same for him. as per always, once he's done he loops the towel around itsuki's neck and gently pulls him closer for a kissu]
what a familiar move... buzen says 'let's get there quick' and yet itsuki wraps his arms around buzen's waist to give him a long, deep kissu. it's fine, they were fast with everything else?
he will eventually, very regretfully, part from him so he can start helping him dress,]
[they were fast with everything else and buzen will probably never say no to a kissu.... he leans in to match itsuki, and even when he pulls away he briefly kisses the corner of his mouth
[they can grab a couple... itsuki will refuse to let buzen carry all the rice balls okay he'll divvy it up between them,
itsuki's vibes get more anxious the closer they get to hyuuga's room though, sweet hyuuga... he'll nod to whoever's currently keeping watch, (spins wheel) sweet monoyoshi]
monoyoshi will look up then, and offer a tired smile. 'Mm, he's alright. He shifts around sometimes, but he's not hurt anymore - he's lucky. I think we all are.'
buzen will just move to sit by monoyoshi automatically, handing him a rice ball before clapping a hand on his shoulder]
And we have you to thank - that good fortune definitely allowed all of us to come home. Right, Suki?
but monoyoshi will gratefully take the acknowledgement before seeing himself off then, wandering away.
buzen will take itsuki's hand before following after. hyuuga is, as promised, asleep inside, eyes shut as he rests. occasionally he shifts, like he's restless, but he never truly rises.
[buzen will immediately shift over so that he's a comfortable distance away, pressing a quick kiss to itsuki's cheek first before guiding him down so that his head is neatly pillowed on buzen's lap
Yeah, that's perfect... Would be nice if I could take you with me...
[his eyes are already closing!!! buzen's lap is that comfy!!!! that and itsuki tends to go to sleep pretty quickly, the one thing he put his skill points in... his breathing evens out as he drifts off, destination already in mind.
he's learned his lesson (?) from the last time he walked through buzen's dream, so this time itsuki takes it slow... he keeps himself hidden in the throes of hyuuga's dream, moving along until he finds the other sword. if he does reveal himself then it's only towards the end, once he's soothed the nightmare hyuuga's undoubtedly having,]
[baby..... buzen will just keep himself awake then, watching over them both. his fingers card through itsuki's hair with one hand, light and idle motions even as he keeps his gaze low and keeping guard over both of them silently
hyuuga's dream is probably a combination of things - the cries of paraiso and sekigahara can sound awfully similar after all. a zombie-like mitsunari that he has to kill himself - with himself. a bloody sea, the valleys being lost to darkness.
but itsuki can manipulate it as he needs - and hyuuga will settle once he sees him. :( ]
he slowly brings in the light at the same time he gradually lowers the sound of the cries, summons the wind to waft away the smell of blood. and as for ishida mitsunari... he shares his last memory of the man with hyuuga, the dream the man himself was having, ever focused on his duty.
something real, to make up for the nightmare.
itsuki wants hyuuga to have a nice dream too, a peaceful one -- not only by itsuki's standards, but something hyuuga himself would find peace in. so he keeps it simple, changing the dream slowly until the familiar surroundings of the citadel fade into view. in this dream, hyuuga's surrounded by the other swords, sharing umeboshi. itsuki tries one too, winks at hyuuga and asks him how it tastes -- he's recreated it from memory but it's probably inferior to what hyuuga can make? he's looking forward to trying some when they both wake up....
once it's clear that the dream won't teeter bavk into a nightmare, itsuki passes the reins of the dream back to hyuuga and surfaces back to the waking world, blinking slowly as looks up at buzen]
...He'll be okay now. I want him to get some real rest, so I tried not to stay too long.
[hyuuga is truly appreciative of the adjustments - probably a little close to tears when he thanks itsuki as he leaves - but buzen just smiles softly down at itsuki once he wakes up again.
he can't really fold himself over to give him a kiss, so instead he'll just reach for itsuki's hand again to press his lips over his knuckles.]
Mm. I think I got to see him ease a little - so I knew you were helping a lot. Thanks for helping take care of him, Suki.

no subject
[it should help with his reaction time at least?? he doesn't think a sword would just stand there and let him put them to sleep...
speaking of sleep.... he was sleepy before but now he feels more awake with every kiss, humming in appreciation the lower buzen gets,]
...That feels nice.
no subject
buzen doesn't seem to notice though, just laughing a little bit even as he presses affectionate kisses across itsuki's collarbone, then a lingering one over his heart]
Does it? I can kiss you everywhere if you want.
[stop that]
no subject
itsuki sighs, kissing the top of buzen's head -- breathing in that anemone scent,]
...Better not. You'll just make me want to have you.
[sex, he means sex harold]
no subject
... do you want to...?
[he actually seems hesitant for once, FOR ONCE, because - ]
Or can you wait until after Hyuuga-san wakes up?
no subject
I can definitely wait? I only want to if you want to...
[AND BUZEN WANTS TO AS LONG AS ITSUKI WANTS TO]
no subject
I always want to.
[because itsuki always wants to!!]
But we should probably visit our comrade first.
no subject
...Yeah. I hope Hyuuga-kun wakes up soon.
[he's worried about him.... but his self-loathing and guilt are more tempered now, he curls his fingers around buzen's,]
Think I'm just about done.
no subject
[but buzen is all set too - moving to stand and offer his other hand out too for itsuki to take for balance]
no subject
...I am pretty worried. I don't want him to have a nightmare because of what happened.
[he'll help dry buzen off with a fluffy towel, paying especial attention to his hair]

Should we grab some food along the way?
no subject
and accepts the help with getting dressed]
Mm, we can. Rice balls sound okay?
[portable food....]
no subject
[they can grab a couple... itsuki will refuse to let buzen carry all the rice balls okay he'll divvy it up between them,

How is he?

And we have you to thank - that good fortune definitely allowed all of us to come home. Right, Suki?
no subject
That's right. ...Thanks for looking out for us, and for me too, Yoshi-kun.
[he looks towards the room where hyuuga is]
Is it okay if I go in? Just for a short while.
no subject
'Mm, you can.']
Yoshi-san, I can swap with you if you want - do you want me to go in with you, Suki?
Go rest. We'll watch over Hyuuga-san for now.
no subject
You need a good night's rest. We'll make sure Hyuuga-kun has one too.
[he'll hold his hand out for buzen before going inside,]
no subject
but monoyoshi will gratefully take the acknowledgement before seeing himself off then, wandering away.
buzen will take itsuki's hand before following after. hyuuga is, as promised, asleep inside, eyes shut as he rests. occasionally he shifts, like he's restless, but he never truly rises.
buzen frowns a little...]
... think he needs you, Suki.
no subject
Itsuki leans over Hyuuga's bed to get a closer look at him, brows furrowing a little]
...Yeah.
[he straightens back up and then takes a seat on the floor,]
I'll have to borrow your lap again, Buzen.
no subject
nice and comfy]
Like this okay?
no subject
Yeah, that's perfect... Would be nice if I could take you with me...

itsuki changes it little by little.
