No one said anything.
At least, not out loud.

(Thanks, mind glitches.)

[lifeprice]

Then I don't see the problem.

[cranekin]

(Just give it a second to kick in because Tsurumaru has definitely activated his ring now. From him, Aki might be able to read the same, familiar feelings of warmth and affection that comes whenever he thinks about him. There's that ever-constant but low sense of grief in the background that has been hanging around more this month but the larger, predominant feeling is definitely love and happiness. )

I never said there was a problem.

[lifeprice]

[ Ah.

Aki would activate his own in return, but he doesn’t want to drown out these warm, tender feelings with the grief and sadness that’s burrowed inside him since waking up here again. There’s the same love too, of course, and he fosters it with all that he has.

He would, though, if Tsuru asked. ]

No. I think it’s the opposite of a problem.

[cranekin]

Are you free now? Or are you still busy researching zombies?

[lifeprice]

I’m free, especially for you.

[cranekin]

(A rush of emotion, warm, happy, buzzing with excitement,)

I'll come find you.

[lifeprice]

Hey, Tsuru?

[cranekin]

(He's on his way but he'll keep messaging,)

Yes, Aki?

[lifeprice]

I like you.

[cranekin]

(Oh. He'll feel another swell of emotion-- the feeling is unmistakable.)

I like you, too.

(No, he loves him.)

[lifeprice]

Come and get me.

[cranekin]

(GIVE HIM SOME TIME... it won't take him long to find Aki. And Aki will probably notice because the feelings seem to grow stronger from proximity or something. When he finds him........


He runs straight at him and jumps. )

[lifeprice]

[ Aki is surprised, but he also has good reflexes, so it doesn't take that much for him to open his arms and lift Tsurumaru into them, spinning him a little with a quiet laugh. ]

Hello, Tsuru.

[cranekin]

(The spin is what gets him. He lets out a laugh and swings his arms over and around Aki's shoulders, leaning in to press a kiss to his cheek,)

I told you I would find you.

[lifeprice]

And you did.

[ Aki doesn't let him drop down; he leans him against the wall instead, holding on to him so he can kiss him gently. ]

Good job.

[cranekin]

(Oh. He loves these little moments when Aki acts boldly out in the open. It makes his heart skip a beat and his body feel all weak as he braces himself against the wall and tilts his head to kiss him in turn. Careful not to be too excited in case anyone walks by but still enjoying their time alone,)

Mhm.

(He hums into him, proud and pleased to be praised. He even gives Aki a little tug closer, nipping gently at his lip, offering a little more in turn before pulling away, still close so their noses brush together,)

Happy birthday.

[lifeprice]

[ He won't go too far, not when anyone could turn the corner of the corridor and see the two of them together like this, but he lets himself enjoy it all the same. It's too easy to lean in and kiss Tsurumaru properly now, to feel the gentle scrape of teeth against his lip, to groan softly.

He has to force himself to be good, at least for now. ]

Thank you.

[ Another year older. Not that it matters.

Sighing, he steps back and lets Tsuru slide down. ]

[cranekin]

(Just a little bit of danger for Aki's birthday... as a treat.

Even when he gets down, he doesn't let go, keeping his arms around him and letting some of his weight hang from him,)

Today is a special day. Not just for you, you know.

(And its only now that the lets go and he rummages thru the sleeve of his haori for a second to pull out......... a box of regular chocolate pocky.)

Do you know what these are?

[lifeprice]

Pocky? Sure.

[ Aki is still leaning into him, unwilling to move or go too far, too content and happy. ]

I've heard these ones are dangerous, though.

[cranekin]

I'm not afraid.

(If anything, he sounds excited? Opening the pack, he takes one stick out... and holds it between his teeth. Fangs still sharp, he smiles playfully at Aki and raises his chin, the other end of the stick pointing at him. It's the pocky game. He wants to play.)

[lifeprice]

[ Aki raises his eyebrows. ]

Out here?

[ But - hey. He's leaning in to play the game, because it's Tsuru and he can't say no. ]

[cranekin]

(Through his teeth,)

It's one game.

(And he takes the first bite, closer, closer.)

[lifeprice]

[ Aki laughs softly, but leans in to take his own bite, mumbling around it through his teeth - ]

Just one.

[cranekin]

(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. )
