the way itsuki would know bc he grew up on fables, he draws buzen closer, humming a little]
The rabbit teased the turtle for being so slow all the time, so the turtle challenged him to a race. The rabbit was faster of course, and he was so certain in his victory that he decided to take a quick break.
By the time the rabbit woke up, it was too late. The turtle kept moving while the rabbit was asleep, so he ended up winning in the end.
[his lip curls, his gaze on buzen even as the turtles move very slowly in front of them]
That's one of your many charms, you know? Your honesty.
[...even now, when buzen says he'll listen to him in that straightforward way. itsuki thinks he should return the favor, offer him a little of his own honesty,]
[buzen is literally watching the turtles until itsuki says that - and then he glances back to him with a soft smile and leans in to give him another kiss.
buzen will just nod. human rules.... he has to obey.]
Well, if it's not allowed in real life, I guess.... There's a lot of stuff I'd like to race... Maybe we should see if we can get a car or a motorcycle to drive to the beach.
no subject
Are you gonna try racing one?
[he'll start walking towards the turtle exhibit,]
no subject
[buzen is faster than the speed of sound............ talk about uneven]
no subject
I guess that would make you the rabbit then?
[the image of buzen taking a nap mid-race is so funny that itsuki laughs again,
that and the image of buzen with bunny ears.......................... cute...]
no subject
What? How?!

[he nods....... understanding.....]
Mm... It's good that the rabbit took a break and rested if he needed to.... but he really should've stayed focused so he could win first.
[IS THIS WHAT HE'S GETTING OUT OF THIS?]
I would win.
[APPARENTLY]
no subject
itsuki just. laughing,]
Well. I guess that's part of the lesson? It's supposed to teach children that they shouldn't be so confident. And to stay focused too, like you said.
...I kind of want to tell you more stories now.
[he really wants buzen's take on classic fairy tales, wow]
no subject
[because buzen's a pretty straightforward sword... but it makes sense that sometimes you need to talk around things with kids
they'll approach the area with the turtles now!!! they are so slow,]
But you can always tell me more stories if you want to. I'll listen to anything, if it's you.
no subject
That's one of your many charms, you know? Your honesty.
[...even now, when buzen says he'll listen to him in that straightforward way. itsuki thinks he should return the favor, offer him a little of his own honesty,]
It's one of the reasons I fell in love with you.
no subject
they really kiss all the time.]
You make it easy to be honest.
no subject
Itsuki hums against Buzen's mouth, smiling. then he gently puts his hand on buzen's chin and directs his attention back to the turtles!! one turtle!!
one turtle who gets into the water and just -- nyooms, swimming very quickly.]
no subject
[WHOOOOAAAA]
I see! They're meant for water travel!! Suki look, it's so fast!
[SUKI IS THE ONE WHO SHOWED YOU FIRST, DUMBASS]
no subject
Maybe you can race one when we go to the ocean later.
[no don't do that they're just gonna end up drowning]
no subject
[HE SOUNDS SO SERIOUS]
no subject
...Let's ask whoever's on duty for permission first, okay?
[THE LIFEGUARD WILL SAY NO, HOPEFULLY]
And if they say no... you can always race one in your dreams instead?
no subject
[hmmmm....
buzen will just nod. human rules.... he has to obey.]
Well, if it's not allowed in real life, I guess.... There's a lot of stuff I'd like to race... Maybe we should see if we can get a car or a motorcycle to drive to the beach.
no subject
Oh, that's a great idea. I miss riding with you.
[CAN THEY EVEN RENT ONE THEY DON'T HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE??? maybe buzen will charm the pants off the rental agency and he'll get one for free yeah,]
I wonder if it'll be expensive... Maybe they'll have another couple's discount?
[would they]
We can look into renting a bike after we get swimsuits.
no subject
[i'm manifesting this i'm putting it out into the universe so this is the perfect date so that they somehow still get money to stay the night,]
I don't think there's anything I'd lose even here.
[THE CONFIDENCE....]
no subject
itsuki laughs, and with a teasing lilt to his voice]
As long as they don't try tickling you before the race starts.
[buzen wins a race against jae-ha and jae-ha is so enamored he immediately starts hitting on him wow, i can see it now]
no subject
i mean yes jae-ha would 100% be down with that stop it also in general buzen looks strong
anyway,]
You wouldn't win in a real race.
[THE WAY HE SAYS THIS SO CONFIDENTLY TOO I CAN'T SDLKFHSDF]
no subject
WOW?]
Not on foot sure... but I think I have a real chance on a bike or car...
[itsuki had a crash course in riding on the rainbow road, but okay]
no subject
buzen just makes an incredulous, but amused face]
We can test it out in a dream if you want.
[because he would worry about itsuki racing in a vehicle otherwise?]
no subject
If you're gonna join a race during our date, then I want to join too.
[IN REAL LIFE]
no subject
If it's a safe race.
[like an extremely safe race if itsuki isn't riding the same vehicle as buzen]
no subject
he'll perk up a little,]
Sure, that's a promise then.
[smashcut to buzen saying no to all races bc they're all dangerous]
