buzen's home after so many days, which means waking up quickly is preferable to sleeping in now. that itsuki would reach a point in his life where he'd prefer reality to dreams... he'd never would have imagined it,
he turns his head, pressing a kiss to buzen's forehead,]
Good morning.
...How do you feel? Your body shouldn't feel tired, but...
[mental exhaustion can still be a thing -- and the first part of that dream had been intense,]
Depending on the situation, yeah. Or if we have to keep watch over someone that we need to protect, the night can be a great time for the enemy to strike.
Missions have moments when they're fun... but we really don't have much room to fail.

[some of that mental exhaustion is there but - he just turns his head so that he can press his lips against itsuki's instead for a proper kiss]
Some missions require not sleeping at all some nights... so I'm better off than those times at least.
no subject
Yeah? [...] Because you have to be alert at all times?
[he can't forget the way buzen didn't let his guard down even once, despite knowing it was a dream]

That won't be a problem for me. I used to stay up all night all the time, like back on the ship.
[granted he's never had to stay up for something actually important, but... he leans in to kiss buzen again]
Let's meet in the dojo later when you have time.

... we'll figure it out. Sometimes we split up for missions too but... as long as you don't go onto an actual battlefield or war zone...
That'll be enough for me.
no subject
[so he can entrust this twink to other swords!! itsuki will be good!!
(except he won't but that's fine)]
no subject
but buzen will just nod because he doesn't see a reason why he wouldn't believe this]
Mm, good. Then... that'll give me a lot less to worry about.
no subject
he'll nuzzle in close to buzen even though it's time to get up,]
...Thank you, Buzen.
[for giving him a chance! for saying yes! and not for the other things like inadvertently creating more trauma
also, even though he said this earlier, he thinks it bears repeating,]
And welcome home.
no subject
... I'm happy to be home.
Thank you, for being my home.
