[It's just a little poem but it's wonderful. It does well to describe the moment even if it's a rather poetic way of simply saying yes. Daihannya doesn't mind though and just chuckles softly, leaning back just enough so he can press a kiss to his lips.
Rather than make him say it though, he simply decides to translate.]
I'm glad you think I am. You may have heard but I am a masterpiece.
[He's been waiting for this. So long that he thought he might have to break his own rules and demand it. And when Daihannya pulls away he's still there, following him to make it last a few seconds longer.
Then he says that.
And he laughs. He tries to stifle it but it comes bubbling up and overflowing in a rush that doesn't stop until his sides ache. It's a pure sound. Something that few others have been allowed.]
In that case, we make quite the pair. But you still can't dress yourself like one.
[Oh no, he really doesn't get it? It only causes Mikazuki to laugh more. A pair indeed.]
Yes I'm well aware. Right down down to the very last thread. [He plucks at his cravat for emphasis, tugging it from where it had been meticulously tucked in.]
Oh? Then I should make absolutely certain you don't forget.
[And he follows it up with another kiss, this one longer, sweeter, with his hands traveling up to frame Daihannya's face.
When he stops to think about it, it's strange how this is where they find themselves now. What prompted this meeting. The flowers, the confession. When he'd thrown them out, half on a whim, he hadn't been sure where the pieces would fall. But now they've devolved into this comfortable flirting and senseless banter.
So he doesn't think, just accepts that this is probably how it's going to be from here on out. Honestly, he's perfectly happy with that.]
[He has no intention of ever forgetting now. Mikazuki won't have to worry at all about that.
This is nice though. Comforting. It's a comfortable thing they have between them which makes him happy as he relaxes and gives him another kiss after that one ends. And when that one ends, he pulls back so he can smile at him. So he can just admire how beautiful he is.]
Are you done with the world for today? I'd like to steal you away for the rest of the night.
[To hold him and to sleep together. There's something so peaceful about the thought.]
[It's tempting to play coy eve now. To ask about his intentions as though this isn't exactly what he had in mind for the night as well. It's hard to break old habits and he's sure Daihannya wouldn't even mind if he didn't.
But Mikazuki looks at him now. He reaches out to brush back the long bangs that always hang to the right side of his face. And the only simple thought that fills is head is that it's like a mirror to his own. It's pathetic really.
His smile turns inward, furtive. But it doesn't stop him from voicing his own request.]
[Daihannya watches him, notes how the smile changes. Then comes the question. Immediately he knows what he wants his answer to be. Knows what his answer is. However, there's a part of him that just desires to play coy and yet there's another part of him that wonders if he should.
In the end, he knows what his answer is, he knows how it will be given.
He smiles.]
I'll steal you away for as long as you will allow.
[Because he's not about to stop Mikazuki from wandering. It's too much in his nature to do so. And he is too fond of that nature to try to control it.]
And you are welcome to steal me away as well, Mikazuki.
[He could say how Daihannya already has, how he's already opened his chest and taken hold of his heart as easily as if he had taken his own blade to Mikazuki's human body. He could say how he's done the same, from the first tentative steps he's crept in little by little, only to find the doors unlocked, open wide, nothing to stop him slipping right in and making himself at home. And not once did he ever think it might be a trap.
Instead he steals a long kiss without stopping to wonder if it's really stealing when he knows the other will give it freely. Without asking, without warning. That's just the kind of synchrony they've found with one another.
That's how he knows Daihannya will understand his answer. He doesn't need to say a word. Neither does he want to part from him now.]
[The kiss can't possibly be stolen when he's given it so freely. This is really the only answer he needs because it says everything he needs to know. Both of them feel the same way about this.
Strange. He never expected his promise to lead them on this path and yet here they are. But he honestly wouldn't change it for anything in the entire universe.
Daihannya is truly staying here tonight. That is for certain.]
