[ he ends the conversation there. now that aki will be here in any minute, perhaps it would be wise to pull himself together.

denji couldn't understand how the fuck that happened, how he managed to get back home for a while and then wake up to find himself back in this city. despite logic, and as much denji wished it wasn't, he knew it was real. it wasn't some nightmare he could brush off, each and every single event did happen and he never felt so helpless in his entire life. it's happening all over again, isn't it? he is losing what little he had built in this miserable life, the home he worked so hard to protect, his family— everything is up in flames. it's gone.

okay, breathe. breathe even if it hurts, even if the air felt like toxic in his lungs; still feeling a bit woozy from being drugged for an entire week. it was hard to stand up and keep his balance, but nearly impossible for him to hold still either.

it's okay ... aki is coming. ]

[ by the time aki made it, denji would be seen sitting on the edge of the bed, lifting his head from where it was buried between his hands. he — didn't look okay. well, denji was never okay, but it was different right now. the wound is fresh, and the adrenaline is throbbing in his veins, heart beating like he's been running for his life while his body is frozen still.

he pushed himself out of the bed, struggling a bit, but he managed to find his balance. a few shaky steps brought him closer, he kept it together until he finally understood why he called aki, why he wanted him here, and what his subconscious mind had planned the entire time. it felt like he had no control over himself and maybe that's okay— because he didn't know what to fucking do with himself other than wrap his arms around the other's shoulders and pull him into a tight embrace.

with a heavy exhale, he squeezed his eyes shut and held still; quiet. ]

[ he breathed out a heavy exhale, his breath stutter in distress, fingers gripping hard into whatever they could grasp and it happened to be aki's jacket. truth is, he was angry. it's anger more than anything else. he wanted to let go and feel that freedom again, pull the cord, and mutilate every living, breathing creature in sight. he wanted to feast on their flesh again, but instead, he'd been left with all those emotions with no outlet to let it all out— and he fucking hates it.

he's just hurting and hurting and it's endless.

however, in contrast to all that built-up aggression, aki's touch was gentle on his body. the other man's breathing is more steady and calm against his chest. is he calm? no, but he didn't feel like he wanted to paint this entire room in red anymore. he was quiet for a while, just holding onto the other. eventually, he broke the silence. ]


Stay here tonight ...

[ okay, no questioned asked, no 'what happened?' — good. denji can work with that. it made it less overwhelming knowing he didn't need to explain himself or figure out whatever the hell was going on in his head, all he was asking was to feel something physical— something that would keep his feet on the ground. and aki is doing just fine. denji nods, lips parted and his breathing slows down, easing in— more quiet now. he is somewhat feverish which is something aki would feel with the touch of their foreheads.

he opened his eyes, barely, and kept his gaze low. his voice is a bit gruff, akin to a whisper. ]
... Okay. [ he's holding onto the other now for a different reason, and he shifts a bit on his feet. the sedatives are still in his system, making it hard for him to move around. ] Help me get changed ...

[personal profile] nutkick 2024-03-07 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ of course aki will do it. of course he will carry the burden of taking care of another mess because he's that type of person; stupidly kind. even when he was kicking his ass in the alley, he did it because he didn't want denji to end up killing himself fighting devils, scare him off so he could have a normal life instead. it's tiring, but that's how aki will always be, even right now— he's helping him without any reserves. he settles on the bed with his shirt off, watching the other as he looks through the closet for a fresh set of clothes.

eventually, it got too much, too heavy, too draining ... ]
... I killed you.

[ he will let that sink in, wait for aki to maybe take a seat, embrace himself for the full story, and denji tells him everything. he will just unload it on him at once, until the very last second. there are new faces in his life, new enemies, and new failures. public safety has lost its pride, 350,000 civilians were killed for a bigger plan, the church, the death devil is coming and denji was supposed to deal with it. makima's end, nayuta's birth, his growing lust to hurt others — the loss of all the pets, his home, and aki/power's personal items that he kept as a memory; all burned in flames.

denji looked vulnerable and frail ... but no tears. ]


You'll still look out for me. You're that kind. It makes you an easy prey to devils ... and I won't be able to protect you anymore.

[personal profile] nutkick 2024-03-09 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ god, where to begin? he was unsure how aki would handle everything he threw his way but it certainly wasn't this. denji watched him with fearful eyes, gaze following the other's hand until it settled on his head — it was just one of those moments where he knew something bad was about to happen, he could feel it in his guts.

'I already knew you were going to kill me'. okay, yeah— how the fuck is he supposed to take that? aside from the obvious way, which is him wondering if they could've prevented it all. maybe if he knew, they could've helped each other to stop it, and none of this would've happened, but denji can only assume the future devil wasn't very specific on 'how' or 'why'. still. still ...

slowly, he lowered his head and closed his eyes. he then took in a sharp inhale— aki is crying, isn't he? he said he was sorry, even when denji didn't. everything felt too fucked up to make sense of, with his emotions all over the place, but he knew pointing fingers and talking about shit they can't change is not the answer either. ]


... I'm sorry, too.

[ tired, quiet— he returns the gestures, curling his fingers around aki's. there is one thing he didn't share with him and it's his deal with makima here. it will stay that way. ]

I don't know how long we have here. Eventually, I will have to go back, right? Help me get better ...

(Some time in the morning on May 5th... a white hummingbird drone will peck at his door. Whenever he opens it, the bird will drop off a small envelope. There's a weight to it letting Aki know there's something inside.

Opening the envelope will reveal a small keychain. Its design is simple but it's obvious by the color and the crane crest on the scabbard what it's supposed to be. Opening the envelope will also undo the origami that put it together in the first place but Aki will also find a perfectly handwritten message. The letters are neat, the lines are thin, and it definitely has a sort of "old-timey" feel to it,
)

Have fun.
See you later.

From him, Aki might be able to read the same, familiar feelings of warmth and affection that comes whenever he thinks about him.

(Another bite, this one bringing up close to Aki's face, noses touching. The next one will surely be the last one unless Aki wants to be cheeky about it. He doesn't really know what to expect with him sometimes which makes him smile, waiting to see what his next move will be. )

(To be honest, he isn't sure if this means he's lost or won by the rules. It doesn't really matter in the end when he still feels like a winner. He can't help but giggle, amused by how silly all of this is and he smiles against him as he kisses him soft and sweet. It's short but he thinks about how many sticks are left in the box and how many more times they could play and really, why rush?

His ring, still on, may feel light, playful... like an exciting new crush, like falling in love again. He's still so charmed even after all of these months and when he pulls away, he's quick to lean in and whisper into Aki's ear,
)

Oh no.

(These snacks were dangerous, right? Aki had said so himself. There were plenty of reports to support it. There was nothing about this particular type but why not have some fun,)

I think I want to kiss you again. (It's clear that that he's teasing,) Maybe these are dangerous.
cranekin: (pic#15469920)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-11-18 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
(Still teasing, )

You did.

(And he'd chosen not to listen. Of course, he'd also known this particular box was also harmless. It's all fun and games right now and he laces his fingers with Aki, giving his hand a squeeze as he slides over to be by his side.

He's an old soul but right now, one wouldn't know it. Leaning against him, giggling as he tugs him along towards his room-- to their room. Compared to before where they'd hidden away and stayed quiet while exchanging kisses, he doesn't mind as much if others see him right now. It's no secret that they're a pair, just like it isn't a secret that Aki spends more time in the Everlight wing than his own.
)

When Denji-kun is free, we'll show you what we got.

(It's their combined surprise for him. A little lower, only for him to hear,)

But I can give you a small surprise first. (And he leans into him, not caring if they stumble just a little down the hallway,) What do you think it is? I'll let you have one guess.

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-11-19 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm...

(He hums, thinking about how to answer this, taking his sweet, time. There's no need to rush. He can take his time. He can enjoy his time.)

Maybe.

(And he gives him a gentle but firm tug,)

That isn't a guess.

(With his free hand, he's going to rattle his pocky box,)

We still have plenty, you know.

If everything happens exactly as one expects, it's boring.

(He has to switch it up. When they get to their room, the door slides open and he slips off and away to go over to his desk. It looks like he's been shopping recently. There are some small shopping bags and one is even tucked away, hidden under the desk for now but still easy to see. He trusts Aki to not go looking. He wouldn't ruin a surprise like that.)

Sit down.

(He says as he rummages through one of the bags and takes out a gift-wrapped box. He'll come over and sit next to Aki before offering it out to him.)

A small surprise from me.
cranekin: (pic#15469483)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-11-20 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I like you.

(A playful, gentle correction. He likes Aki, even if he's boring at times. He doesn't mind if it's a little boring if he's with him.)

I went shopping with Denji-kun. We got something from both of us and something from each of us.

(A bottle of cologne that Denji will surely sneak samples from and then there's the spa ticket that Denji got. But those are both for later. Right now, there's this box for Aki and if he opens it...

It's just a mug. Dark blue and silver in color with a little bit of weight to it. The box reads that it's a sleek and light design for a mug that will keep drinks at the desired temperature of the user. Hot drinks will never go cold and even cold drinks will never melt. It supposedly links with their implants and it promises to be easy to use. No cords, no extra extensions, no need for charging. It just works. The future is filled with these little knick-knacks for daily use.
)

It's getting colder these days; especially in the mornings.

(It seemed like a good gift. A practical one. One that could be useful for Aki.)

(There's that excited type of nervousness that comes from giving gifts. He watches Aki carefully, trying to see what he thinks of the gift. It isn't a bad one. He knows it isn't. In fact, he's confident that it's a good gift but would it be one that he likes? Is it the best one he could have gotten? He's always been someone that looks forward to people's reactions and right now is no different.

How would he smile? What would he say? How would he look at him when he looks back up? He wants to see it all and with his ring still on, Aki can probably feel the anticipation... just like he can feel that spike in emotion when Aki takes him. He's surprised, he's excited, and in a second, he's relaxed, he's happy, he's humming pleasantly, tasting, feeling, giving, and impatiently wanting more and more.

For a second he's proud, so incredibly pleased with his choice in gift but it's more than that. He's happy with him. Aki chose him. He chose Aki. They chose this and he couldn't be happier. He feels warm, he feels content, and when they finally pull away, he takes his breath and smiles at Aki, eyes bright, teeth a little sharp...
)

Wait...

(Wait a moment. Just a second. As he pulls his legs up onto the bed to crawl to the end, to reach over towards his desk and rummage for something small and shiney. When he comes back, he sits cross legged in front of Aki and holds up a small container, it's clear plastic covering revealing a shade of red. Considering he'd once set Aki a picture of himself wearing a different shade, it's obvious that it's a lip tint.)

What do you think? (He holds it up to his face, pale and fair against a splash of bright, deep red, ) Denji-kun ran away when I asked.

(Took one look at him in the store and ran off, refusing to answer. While he waits for an answer, he twists the cap and brushes it across his lips. Bright and striking, like the crown of a white crane. He smiles.)

[personal profile] cranekin 2024-11-26 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
(He settles on him comfortably, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and leans in. Before he can say anything, he feels his mouth against his and he's more than happy to return it. Soft, slow, just enjoying feeling each other, how sweet he tastes, and he presses his forehead against Aki's, sneaking in one more kiss. )

I told you, he's seriously surprising.

(Denji, that is. He's sharper than he or anyone really gives him credit for when it comes to certain matters.

But he shifts forward, gently pushing Aki back onto the bed and supporting himself on top.
)

We have a little time. (He isn't sure how much they have until they have to busy themselves with other things but he knows they have some time right now. Leaning in to bury his face against his neck, press light kisses along the side, leaving a visible trail in his wake, ) Relax.

(Reaching to take his hand, locking their fingers together,,)

It's your birthday.

(A day for celebrating Aki. A day for celebrating his life. A day for celebrating being alive.)

[ it's actually pretty easy to find a gift for aki; ishmael knows at least two smokers on the bus back home, so all she had to do is lock in on what ryoshu or gregor would've liked if they were here. particularly ryoshu -- that woman sure can 420blazeit.

and thus, when the date rolls on over to christmas day, a small box will appear in aki's doorstep. inside is a rather fancy cigarette brand.

Think you might like this. Happy holidays.

[ he wanted to go for a gag gift, similaire to the one he got for tsurumaru, but-

aki will find his gift waiting for him by the door. the package was rectangular, its edges crisp, its surface smooth— revealing just enough to suggest the shape of the frame beneath the wrapping. at first sight, it seems it came without a picture, but once he lifts it up, the edges shift subtly, lines emerging and retreating in delicate patterns, like a living blueprint. a picture that could move and breathe, adapting itself to its surroundings. it's power and denji and of course aki - all of them together, enjoying a late dinner in their old apartment. the animation is fluid, their features are on point. it's them. together again.

the card reads: I know we've grown in here, made friends and connections, started dating some hotties, maybe we made a new family for ourselves too. But you two will always be my first family. merry xmas - denji. ]

[ A wrapped package can be found at Aki's door after the Christmas Party. Unwrapping it reveals two boxes of chocolates.

There is a message with the gift, written on a Christmas postcard: ]


Dear Aki,

I hope those chocolates are a delicacy you will be able to share with your beloved during this winter.

Merry Christmas!

(On May 13th, Aki will suddenly feel a spike of adrenaline through his tracking ring. It seems like Tsurumaru was especially surprised by something recently...

However, Aki will then feel nothing.

Tsurumaru will not respond to his messages and he will not return to him that day.

Where are you? I need to talk to you.

[personal profile] photosympathies 2025-05-11 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
( He should insist on meeting up first, but Vash also knows that waiting delays things. So. )

It's Tsurumaru.
We were delivering flowers and then all of a sudden there was a rift.
It swallowed him up, and I can't find him. I'm looking, Aki. I'm trying to. But I know he's your partner, right? And I didn't know who else to tell.

At the temple.
Hang on, I'll drop you the location. I'm still there, I've been looking.

There wasn't time to. He was there, and it appeared, and I tried to grab him but he just fell. And then it was gone.

[personal profile] photosympathies 2025-05-12 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
He fell.

It opened up underneath him and there wasn't any time to move.

Maybe.

It closed pretty quickly, so it was after something.

[personal profile] photosympathies 2025-05-14 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I think so.

It was really quick. We were talking and then he was just gone.

[personal profile] photosympathies 2025-05-15 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll keep looking. I'll ask the monks if they saw anything different. We'll find him, I promise.

And I'm sorry, but we'll get him back, I promise.
