knowsvinewhip: (Will you redeem my life again?)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
No, it doesn't. I don't blame you for not seeing it... I... wasn't entirely aware until this place made it very clear.

[He'd known there was something other than just friendship. At least on his side. After all, he hadn't gone to anyone else, find anyone else, any other place, after his release. After becoming Hakkai. No, he'd sought out the person who saw a pile of refuse in a ditch and decided it was worth saving.]

[And subsequently, couldn't leave.]

[They just worked, for some reason. They just went together like two sides of a coin. But friends did that. Close friends. Best friends. And he will be contented with that, if it's the answer. He has to be.]

[Because he can't lose anyone else. In any capacity.]

[He realizes he's fallen silent while Gojyo speaks. He's hearing him. The words are sinking in. Filling in the chasm that grew up under his feet, piece by piece. Slowly but surely - it becomes less and less likely he's going to start falling again. I hate you not being around - you're the most important person]

[It does, however, take his brain a moment longer to catch up on three of those words. It chews them over. Turns them over. They could mean platonic things. Like friendship. Like what he expected, what he thought he'd get. And nothing more.]

[But...]


You know I could - I would never ask more of you than you could give... [He says it slowly. Carefully. To let the words sink in. And to let himself start to pull their joined hands closer. Trace the lines over the back of Gojyo's palm with his free hand. His eyes on it. On the contrast of their skin.]

I would never push you. If... you want us to remain friends... nothing more - [Until you figure it out, one way or another, goes unsaid between the pressure of his fingers.] - know that you will always remain my most important person.

knowsvinewhip: (Make a deal with God)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
[He actually manages the faint ghost of a smile again. It's nice to know, nice to hear, that even with this massive confession, this bombshell dropped between them, Gojyo's answer to Hakkai's assurances is "I know". Of course, considering Hakkai's constant displays of never being able to physically hurt him, maybe it's not that big of a surprise.]

[His mouth feels dry, all of the sudden. I want that. And I love you - and it's suddenly crystalizing under him. Lodging in his throat. It's hard to get his own words out in reply.]

[Because statements like that deserve more than an "ah".]


I am well-accustomed to your habits... [That ghost, wisp of smile warms. Just a bit.] And they've yet to cause me to do anything rash.

[I'm not going anywhere.]

[Silence.]


Unless, of course, you decide to revert to your previous ashtray preferences, that is.

knowsvinewhip: (Like a prisoner)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
To be entirely fair, it wasn't as if I were in any position to judge your lifestyle when we first met.

[And then afterward? Well. Gojyo was trainable. He'd say that much. And fondly, at that.]

[It's a very, very good smile. He'd like to keep seeing it, as often as possible. That one, in particular. Frankly, he doesn't think there's anything Gojyo could do to mess up what it is they have - no matter where they take it. They've been through too much.]


You're never being rid of me, at this rate.

[They're still holding onto each others' hands. Is it too much if he... lifts them up? Bows his head over them. Like a kiss, but not. That might be too much.]

knowsvinewhip: (Voice that's far too close)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
Literally, in fact. [That's not funny. Stop making jokes that aren't funny. But it's impossible not to, in the moment. Everything feels lighter. Like weights have been pulled off his limbs. For once, since that awful memory share, it doesn't feel like what's waiting for him is an ending.]

[What a different, welcome feeling, that is.]


Oh, you had plans? My sincerest of apologies.

[Again, there's no hiding the amusement, the relief, in every word. Like his face is going to crack from the very happiness in his features. How many times has something actually worked for them? Besides, well, the two of them in general?]

[His heart stops. He should have known. He should have guessed Gojyo would actually make the first move. And it makes the awkward, uncertain lump in his chest thaw a bit more.]


Ah... I think. You may have missed.

[He looks up. Slowly. It's a bit awkward, trying to angle his head so he doesn't knock into Gojyo's. But eventually, he manages.]

[And he's smiling. Really, sincerely, smiling up at him.]

knowsvinewhip: (Made them my way)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
You know me so well...

[He doesn't hesitate for once. There's no point to it now. Everything is out in the open where it should be. Where he should have had it from the start. His only pause is to murmur a brief - please watch the door - as an aside to his Omen.]

[To make sure there's not a second interruption.]

[That's all, before he leans the rest of the way in. It's been years since he'd done anything like this. It should feel different. It should feel awkward, somehow. He should be making all sorts of comparisons here. That's how his brain has always worked.]

[But kissing his best friend? It's like those thoughts die before they're born. It's like the easiest, best thing in the world. Like they were supposed to do this from the start.]

knowsvinewhip: (Things I regret)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
[Wrapped up like this, the hand on his face, the mouth against his. He's wondering, distantly, why in the hell he'd waited. Why he'd been such an enormous coward. Nothing about this is hard. Nothing about this is awkward.]

[It's like walking back into their house again, after years away. Like stepping back into the warmth of a fireplace after too long in the cold.]

[He's almost laughing into the kiss. His own free hand gently tangling in red hair. Trailing through it. Gojyo really wasn't kidding about his talents - a realization that makes him start to laugh again. Not pulling away for a moment.]

(frozen)

knowsvinewhip: (When this is through)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
I'm - terribly sorry. [He is not. He's leaning their foreheads together, still trying not to laugh more.]

But I suppose - I never expected to be able to bear witness to your claimed prowess like this.

[And judging from the fact he's going in for another round, he's as thoroughly impressed as advertised.]

knowsvinewhip: (now they're going to bed)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
Put those away. They're incorrigible.

[Put your eyebrows away sir. They're making him laugh again.]

As tempting as that may be, I have to put a hold on any packages. At least until we can both walk again.

[Kissing though, despite what certain primates have said, is absolutely allowed. As evidenced by returning the kiss eagerly, hand once again finding its way into Gojyo's hair.]

knowsvinewhip: (Hear about the deal I'm making?)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
Indeed...

[And there goes the time. Frankly, he's forgotten about anything else in the moment. Anything else but Gojyo. But kissing him like he's been drowning, like it's the relief he's been waiting for - for years.]

[Maybe it is. Maybe being left sitting here, leaning against his best friend, flushed from kissing him... is relief. Because there's no mission here, is there? There's no evil wave of crazy energy turning people into monsters - turning decent people like Gojyo into something horrible.]


You're going to be terribly manipulative about this, aren't you? [Quit looking at him with those big ol' eyes.] But, if I must...

[Flop down again, and tug Gojyo with him.]

(frozen)

Date: 2023-06-14 07:00 am (UTC)
knowsvinewhip: (Don't we?)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
Oh? Were you not doing that already? It must have been ghosts.

[He's laughing again. It feels like he's never laughed this much before. Never smiled this much. If he had... well. Hakkai never had.]

Frankly, if you tried, I would be extremely displeased with you.

[But, thankfully, that won't be an issue. Not with that kiss to look forward to.]

knowsvinewhip: (Hit that button there)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
Hm, in that case, we'll have to leave some sort of offering for them, won't we?

[Once they actually have a house again and all.]

[His fingers trail through Gojyo's hair, absently. Letting the strands fall through his fingers bit by bit. It's true. This moment is deeply comforting. Relaxing, even injured.]


I hope you're not planning on sneaking one yet.

[He'll Know.]

knowsvinewhip: (You wanna feel how it feels?)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
Ah, but that would spoil so quickly. It would have to be something that isn't perishable.

[Yeah because spoiling is the only problem with sacrificing Goku to the Mop And Shit Ghosts.]

[Reflexively, he finds himself shivering - not unpleasantly - at the lips against his skin. Settling back in with a quiet sigh.]

[Yes. This should have happened ages ago.]


You'd better not. I won't allow it.

[There's just that brief flash of The Smile before he huffs out a laugh instead.] But the sooner you heal, the sooner you're back to it.

knowsvinewhip: (When this is through)
From: [personal profile] knowsvinewhip
I do tend to have those.

[Maybe he was an idiot coward for too long. Maybe he should have done this as soon as he saw Gojyo sauntering up to that terrible little camp in the woods. Think of how much time he'd wasted.]

[How much time he could have spent like this, instead.]


That, possibly. Or worse. [Worse could be anything, given Hakkai. Fortunately, he elaborates:] I may be forced to have you inform Goku of our new status.
