[itsuki is sadly not hurt or feverish,

in fact his eyes are twinkling a little because he finds this answer very interesting while building this AU at 3 AM!!!!!]

Really? But what if we were strangers? Like, what if you didn't know I had a voice to find?

[hasteful]

If we were...

[strangers...?? buzen yawns as he settles into begrudging awakeness now, turning on his side so he can wrap an arm around itsuki's waist and pull him closer]

Would you still be coming to me...? Or am I trying to find you?

[nightchild]

[itsuki moves closer at the tug, settling comfortably next to buzen, even if he is apparently adamant enough to keep him up at this hour,]

Hmm...

[it's both but he's trying not to confuse buzen too much, despite already confusing him,,,]

The first one -- I'm trying to get closer to you, since I fell in love with you... But I don't know how to, since I can't talk...

[hasteful]

[ . . . . . he just lets his face nestle in the crook of itsuki's neck now,]

Is this a dream...? I'm dreaming, huh...

[NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE HE CAN'T POSSIBLY BE AWAKE RIGHT NOW!!!]

[nightchild]

[buzen... cute... WAIT NO, itsuki turns his head so he can nudge-kiss the sleepy out of buzen]

Wait, Buzen -- would you still fall in love with me if I couldn't talk? I need to know.

[DOES HE? DOES ITSUKI NEED TO KNOW?]

Maybe I'm asking about the wrong one...?

[the little mermaid is cute but it has such a sad ending.........]

[hasteful]

[why is he being kissed!!! by the law of being a good boyfriend he always has to kiss back!!!! he kisses back.... but once itsuki pulls away he grumbles slightly.... sneepy,]

Mmn...?

[thinking.... extra hard]

Mm... I love you for you, not your voice... As long as I can tell what kind of person you are, I'd always love you. Swords can't talk in our normal forms either... we still feel drawn to each other.

Okay....?

[nightchild]

[



nooooo this is so soft itsuki's heart is full, he just peppers buzen's face with kisses as thanks for putting up with his insanity!!!]

Okay.

[it's one word but it's full of happiness, pure giddiness... itsuki... happy...]

[nightchild]

[except]





-- What if you were under a spell? A spell that made you think someone else was me?

[hasteful]

[he just leans in to press another kiss to itsuki's mouth and



bites him a little]

[nightchild]

-- Mmph.

[???? h-horny???



but??? his AU????


but... horny possibly???

itsuki immediately parts his mouth so he kiss buzen more deeply....... then pauses because he's conflicted for no reason at all]

Buzen...

[needy!!! his AU!!]

[hasteful]

[the fact that itsuki assumed it was horny and not his boyfriend being grumpy he was woken up at 3 am for reasons he has yet to identify

anyway buzen still thinks the automatic response is very cute but




if it's too late to talk about AUs, it's too late to think about banging so he just pulls back and kisses itsuki again, softly

and cuddles in]

Good night, Suki. If this is a test and you've been replaced, I'll figure it out in the morning.

[BUZEN NO]

[nightchild]

[it's not too late for either of those things?? itsuki's just keyed up at this extremely late hour???]

It's not a test. [NEEDY!! HIS AU!!!] I'm just thinking about what-ifs, you know? [no

he snuggles in close with buzen, but he's still talking]

Then, what about a different spell?

[hasteful]

[no he's cuddling in and closing his eyes as he presses his face against itsuki's shoulder





but also he's still mumbling back]

Depends on the spell... some magic affects swords but not all...

I'd always come get you though...

[nightchild]

[cuddles are fine too.....

itsuki presses his smile against buzen's hair, hehe. so in other words, their love is super eternal and can withstand any and all magic!!! but he knew that already, of course]

I'd do the same... Even if I were under a curse or an enchantment... Especially if I was under an enchantment -- like if I was cursed to look like a beast -- I'd definitely still fall in love with you.

[why is buzen belle in this AU]

[hasteful]

[hmmm

he presses a sleepy kiss to itsuki's neck]

Are you sure nothing's wrong... Are you worried about something that I don't know about...

[nightchild]

I just like thinking about all the different ways we could fall in love with each other.

[see? nothing's wrong!!!

maybe itsuki does feel guilty thinking about this at a godforsaken hour, because he strokes buzen's back in slow circles an attempt to calm himself down... sleep... sleep...]

Like if you were enchanted to sleep... I'd wake you up with a kiss.

[hasteful]

Ah... are these folk tales?

[he's guessing since he knows itsuki likes them.... buzen sighs a little bit more with the reassurance, relieved. he presses another kiss to where itsuki's jaw meets his neck]

You sounded worried... I was wondering if something scared you.

[nightchild]

[all this kissing.... it's giving itsuki more ideas,,]

Uh huh.

[he returns the kiss, trying to calm himself down. this is doing the opposite effect but he's trying,]

I actually made a lot of dreams based on fairy tales. They were always really popular... It's a fun way of seeing your loved one in your dreams.

[hasteful]

[THE WAY ITSUKI IS FEELING SO WORKED UP AT 3 AM IS REALLY SOMETHING ELSE]

Really...

[buzen can't imagine.... he yawns a little bit against itsuki]

Is that why you're thinking about this... Are you trying to build a dream for yourself...?

[nightchild]

[it's the curse of needy and horny]

N-no...

[he says, very convincingly. the slow circles are now turning into loopy patterns as he tries to sort his thoughts out in a neat pile,]

I like thinking about what-ifs... but I like what I have with you even more.

[hasteful]

Mm... I like what we have too...

[his voice is soft... and warm... and....





and oh he's dozing he's definitely dozing]

[nightchild]

[




oh he's dozing... itsuki gives him a gentle kiss on the cheek, conflicted.

he's so awake... maybe he should walk this off, but he's loathe to move. he closes his eyes, thinks about his 5000th AU. buzen... buzen as cinderella.... itsuki would cast himself as the prince but maybe instead he could be the fairy godmother? he casts a spell to make buzen happy... but instead of going to the ball he just kisses him right then and there, why go to a ball? who needs a prince? but buzen wearing prince-ly clothing......... the mental image is nice...... buzen's so handsome so he'd look perfect.....

help he's so turned on right now this is terrible, why is this happening at (checks watch) four AM now,

he peers at buzen, is he sleeping? like sleeping sleeping?]

Buzen...?

[hasteful]

[itsuki is really out here horny at 4 am

buzen is quiet, just breathing softly.......... until he finally a brief, delayed - ]

Mmn...? I'm... up....

[he's really not]

[nightchild]

[he's really not!!!!

the law of being a good boyfriend means prioritizing your boyfriend over your horny, so itsuki will do just that. he'll tuck the blankets a little more snugly around buzen,]

...Good night.

[thanks for going along with his crazy in the waking world....




but in the dreaming world? nothing's stopping itsuki from peeking into buzen's dreamscape? what's buzen dreaming about... he's curious...]

[hasteful]

[oh.... buzen settles at that, cuddling comfortably in the blankets and suki both]

Night... See you soon....

[he sighs and says it again out of habit - even if itsuki doesn't always visit dreams, he knows there's a chance of it....

as for buzen's dream - it's simple. it's flashes of what he did today - he was assigned to tend to the horses with matsu, random moments to spare smoochies for suki, dance practice with the gous, some incident revolving around anmitsu and rice flour. when the dream settles, it's... a farm.... there's a bunch of chickens and their chickies waddling about - it's like he's dreaming about harvest moon

a simple life... buzen is racing a horse. it's a close race. he's having the time of his life]
