[as usual, chuuya brings hige to the bedroom rather than the office-- where he then bars the door with a dresser and the smaller desk in this room. that's fine!
beyond looking antsy, though, he seems fine. there's a ribbon around his wrist now, but hige's seen it in the couple days he's been wearing that, probably... closes my eyes about how often they bang.]
I'll be fine. Don't worry about it-- worst case scenario, I should come back, yeah?
[so he forces a little smile, gestures for hige to join him.]
I don't think it's a good idea for you to stay too long, Higekiri.
[as hige rests their foreheads together, though, chuuya relaxes a little; he knows higekiri is capable, so he's marginally less worried. only marginally.]
...but I think it'll be fine if I let you stay here for a while.
[ah, right... chuuya laughs at that too, shaking his head.]
...we just decided to make more use of the time we have left. I know we're probably not going to meet again after this, so-- I asked him to be mine while we're still here.
[cursed that he's still leaning into hige as he says this and sounds kind of fond, chuuya's a ho!]
It's not an exclusive thing, though, I don't want him to go and die because I asked him not to fuck anyone.
[this is a bad conversation to have with a cheating time traveling sword
but he also doesn't seem to mind, because no one has even remotely taught higekiri a monogamy. he presses a kiss to chuuya's hair affectionately as he leans in closer]
Because that's not how things work. We're from completely different places, you know? So if everything goes well and we all go home... I'm assuming that's it, because I don't know of anyone whose Ability involves that kind of travel.
[...after a few moments, there's a hum and a brief sigh as he accepts the touch, his fingers combing through hige's hair.]
The Port Mafia will always come first for me, anyway. Anyone else would have to come second-- I can't ask that of anyone long-term. He's got his own business to focus on too.
... have you heard of the concept of people who have a certain existence? Who absolutely must exist in order for history to play out as it does? There are some people who, no matter how short their lives may be, or the roles that they play... they are a type of certain existence.
Some of my masters... they were that - to history. But I don't always care very much about history, aside from when it is my mission to protect it. [and even then - does he really care?]
But since I've been here... I've begun to think - despite everything that I do not care about, and people whose existence don't make a difference to me... I, too, have people who are a certain existence - where I will need them, in order to truly be myself.
[and he'll let his forehead rest on chuuya's again, searching his gaze]
So even if our time is brief...
You are a certain existence to me - where as long as I exist, I will carry you with me.
it's the sort of thing that leaves him at a loss for words, blinking, his face slightly flushed, but something like this-- he can't even manage to overreact and shove higekiri away in a fit of embarrassment. it strikes too hard for that.
he swallows hard, exhales a breath.]
...I'll carry you with me too, you know. I know it hasn't even been that long, but--

Now, now... For all that you were against my talk of breaking -
I don't think I'm allowed to let you say the same so casually. Even if it is true... I'd rather not see you hurt.
I don't care about much... but I think I care quite a bit about that.
no subject
[without that, they wouldn't have been able to meet together. chuuya leans into the kiss easily, just as he has with higekiri for a while now.]
Trust me, I'm not exactly eager to deal with the consequences, but it's not like I wouldn't put up a fight either. You know me better than that.
no subject
Mm, I do.
But perhaps I ought to stay with you - to protect you - regardless.
[he's probably teasing but also not really - swords are meant to protect, aren't they?]
no subject

no subject
[he doesn't sound
opposed]
no subject
[his tone's a little firmer, there.]
no subject
[it's hard to say why he sounds so convinced but
he'll also turn his head so he can press a kiss to chuuya's cheek if it'll get him to stop looking so serious]
... I'll keep checking on you then - to make sure you are safe each day.
no subject
[that gets a slight smile, and he gives higekiri a smooch on the lips in return.]
Feels a little selfish to let you, but-- guess I'm that kind of person.
no subject
That's good...
Since it is you - I would not want you to be anyone else.
I do not mind, when you are selfish, or when you want me to take care of you too.
no subject
[chuuya shifts to settle in a little more, though he glances sidelong to the door again before he tugs higekiri closer.]
You're one of the only people I'd let take care of me, you know.
no subject
[he'll
tug on the ribbon
but also laugh a little because higekiri has only incredibly specific jealous streaks and this is not one of them]
no subject

no subject
[but higekiri will lean into the touch even as he hums thoughtfully, idly]
... well, your home is Japan, isn't it? And so is mine...
So I will find you after this, so you needn't worry about anything like that.
no subject
[plenty of subordinates he cares about protecting, in a city he loves and desperately misses.
it takes a moment for higekiri's words to sink in, but when they do-]
--wait, don't you have your own work to do?
no subject
[he shrugs....]
We're used for our missions, but mostly only groups of us go at a time... So when other groups go, we do housework or train...
But I can go to visit you instead.
["but hige you haven't asked the saniwa" and?]
no subject
[it sounds like more than he'd ever expect, so-- of course it sounds too good to happen.]
You know I might be working too, if you show up at the wrong time.
no subject
I'd wait for you.
[easily and simply]
no subject
[WRINKLING HIS NOSE VERY HARD, even as he wraps an arm around him.]
--you should focus on your own missions, not coming to bother me. Compared to you, I'm not even going to be around that long.
no subject
[HE DOESN'T LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT, but he'll wrap an arm around chuuya too, encouraging him closer]
And isn't that just more reason for me to find you...?
no subject
[it just seems a little pointless, to him? they're probably easily forgotten later on.]
no subject
