it's in your heartbeat;

[nightchild]

[nights at the citadel for itsuki are always comfortable, happily spent in the company with the other gous or in buzen's arms, so comfortable that itsuki can barely remember what it was like to have an unpleasant night. it'd be nice if this period of peace could last, but... alas... maybe old sleep habits die hard... at the very least, itsuki finds himself wide awake at a time that he can only tell is late because he and buzen went to bed hours ago, and yet???

he rolls from side to side, thinking... his thoughts are keeping him up... they Plague him... maybe this is because of that novel he read earlier today... maybe it's the movie he got to see with buzen a few weeks ago.... HIS THOUGHTS!!! SO MANY!!!

he turns his head to peek at Buzen,]

Buzen... [pspspspsps] Buzen, are you sleeping? I need to ask you something...

[he sounds so urgent at 3 am help]

[hasteful]

Mmnn...?

[awake????? why awake??????

buzen was fast asleep, because he's fast in everything. he was having a nice little dream, but well - it's not like he's a heavy sleeper either. he shifts when itsuki starts rolling already, but he gets pulled out of drowsiness when he hears his name... itsuki sounds so urgent so he forces his eyes open, blinking a few times as he tries to find is alertness - ]

- okay? Are you hurt?

[WHY AWAKE... WHY WORRIED....]

[nightchild]

[itsuki about to feel guilt that he ruined the nice dream buzen undoubtedly was having but he's too busy feeling relieved that buzen woke up at this LATE ASS HOUR,

he nuzzles buzen in answer but it's like a distracted nuzzle because he's already pulling back a little,]

I'm fine, promise. Actually -- [that's related?] what would you do if I couldn't talk?

[WHY..........]

[hasteful]

[nuzzle... buzen nuzzles back and - honestly his brain tumbles around for a second?]

But - you can?

[HE'S TALKING RIGHT NOW???? WHAT'S THE ISSUE,]

Uh... try to find your voice...?

[he shifts so that he can rub at his eyes, trying to wake up so he can peer at itsuki and double-check that he's not hurt or feverish??]

[nightchild]

[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]
