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.
You've done plenty. It's something the rest of us wouldn't be able to manage.
[softly and reassuringly
as for how tired he looks - he mostly seems alright, alert and focused as he takes keeping watch of hyuuga and itsuki both very seriously even in their own home. but there is the slightest strain in the corner of his eyes, the only hint that all their troubles have taken a small toll on him]
hyuuga is eased into rest now, and the others are all hopefully recuperating after their difficult mission. buzen is tired, but... he is still mostly just relieved.
it helps knowing that he and itsuki aren't tense with each other anymore either,]
[rather easily? buzen will shift then, letting his head fall against itsuki's shoulder - he doesn't quite let himself close his eyes or yawn, but he relaxes some as he lets itsuki take part of his weight]

...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]

...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
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

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.
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.

itsuki turns the wrist of the hand in buzen's so he can trace his lips with a thumb, quietly]
Wish I could have done more, but... I'm glad I could help him. [but he doesn't sound self-pitying at least,
he peers up at buzen, speaking of sleep -- how tired does buzen look right now,]

itsuki moves his fingers from buzen's lips to his eyes, gently brushing the corners]
...How are you feeling?
no subject
[in the simplest, truest sense.
hyuuga is eased into rest now, and the others are all hopefully recuperating after their difficult mission. buzen is tired, but... he is still mostly just relieved.
it helps knowing that he and itsuki aren't tense with each other anymore either,]
no subject
...Me too.
[he likes the view from down here, but... Itsuki carefully sits up and moves next to Buzen, nudging him]
I think it's my turn now... Shall I lend you my shoulder?
no subject
[rather easily? buzen will shift then, letting his head fall against itsuki's shoulder - he doesn't quite let himself close his eyes or yawn, but he relaxes some as he lets itsuki take part of his weight]
... thanks, Suki.
no subject
That should be my line. I like it when you rely on me. [hehe,
he moves his hand in slow circles on his back,]
You can sleep if you're tired. I'll wake you.
