Expertise...? You knew women that well? I guess the girls you worked with, huh...
[the way that buzen doesn't really fully grasp that itsuki was straight. what does it mean to be straight. he doesn't know, made obvious by the way that he'll just immediately let his arm loop around itsuki's middle to bring him closer so that he can be tucked right against buzen.
the boyfriend instinct is SO strong it's so funny]
Um, she's a little high class! And she's a little... demanding? I mean, she seems nice, just - very clear about what she wants and how she wants it done. Different from how Ro-san is, though. Not quite so.... calm.
if this was anyone other than Buzen then Itsuki would surely feel the sudden pulse of Fear at the words "You knew women that well?", like it's the opening volley -- a demand for itsuki to own up to sluttiness (het),
but this is Buzen, who holds him so close, and who wouldn't care about his sluttiness, which is like great but also not? but that's an issue that itsuki struggles with on the daily so he won't dwell right now on the fact that he's the insane jealous yan one of this relationship,
instead he has to remind himself not to linger on the curve of buzen's ear, so close!! so bite-able!! and redirect his attention to the script in Buzen's hand,]
I see, so she's an ojou-san. [not that roxana isn't a lady but there are ojou-san's and Ojou-sans?] Is she sheltered too? Maybe a little naive?
[was hamaji naive or just an endless fount of optimism]
[DON'T JUST BITE HIM OUT OF NOWHERE HELP buzen is just going to let his cheek rest on itsuki's shoulder so he can be close.... truly just an affectionate and touchy idiot.]
Is she? I didn't think about that....
Um, she mostly just seems content to be with her fiancé, Shino-san.... and their other childhood friend, Sosuke.
[he likes however buzen touches him but gestures like this one, that feel like buzen is relying on him..... they make him soft!!! he gently runs his fingers through buzen's hair, already half-distracted help,
I don't think so.... It's a tale about eight swordsmen who come together from all walks of life and then fight a witch, or something.
[he won't fully understand the plot until it's rehearsal time. but he's just going to flip through the pages idly.... at least he highlighted all his lines. he did that part.]
I'm one of the swordsmen, but I'm also Hamaji-san who gets kidnapped.
[HE DOESN'T ACTUALLY GET IT, but there's enough of a thread of 'fairytale story' to this very short summary that he understands, but he's also stuck on the fact that there has to be a hamaji-san who gets kidnapped in the first place,]
So you're playing a warrior and a damsel. A beautiful maiden, stolen away and in need of rescuing...
[teasing, as he unfortunately nuzzles closer to buzen,]
I can see why you're having trouble. Have you ever needed to be saved before?
itsuki is fortunately still smiling, and his thoughts turn to the more recent attempt at keeping buzen in a dream forever, unfortunate that it didn't pan out huh!!! that would be helpful here!!]
Let's think of it another way then. [goodbye cage au] You said Hamaji knows what she wants, right? How does she act while she's imprisoned? Is she scared? Upset?
[THAT'S NOT EVEN THE GAME THIS BUZEN IS THINKING ABOUT]
Ah, no, not at all! She seems really brave! She mostly acts friendly even with the person who captured her, and asks them to help her get some water.... [SHE'S RUDE ABOUT IT BUT BUZEN JUST THINKS SHE'S SO NEAT]
And then she just waits and calls for Shino-san when actual trouble shows up.
[wow hamaji sounds so cute! itsuki conveniently forgets that buzen has not a single bad thing to say about anyone ever including wiku who mcmurdered him]

[he's REALLY thinking about it.....]
Normally I'm strong enough that I can get myself out of my own messes....
