(So sweet, so full of love, it makes his heart flutter again and he pushes himself further up on top of him. He presses a light kiss to his jawline and lets out a soft, content sigh as he rolls off to lie down next to him. Completely undone beside him, feeling so warm from the inside out, he curls against him and croons,)
I wanted you all day. (He'd said as much earlier and he wraps an arm across Aki, fingers tracing the shape of his chest delicately. He wants to feel the way it rises and falls, the way his heart beats for him. If he's being honest--) No, I've wanted you even longer.
(He'd wanted him even longer. He doesn't know for how long. It feels like at different times, he'd wanted different things and its all blurred together now.
When he looks up at Aki, his hair a mess in his face, face still flushed from activity, still warm with love. Earlier, he'd called him cute but right now, all he can think about is how handsome he is and how even more perfect his soul is. How did he get so lucky? What were the chances he'd ever find someone like this in his lifetime? Did it really have to take a thousand years?)
[ Aki groans as Tsurumaru slips away, rolling off him, cheeks flushed and warm as his mouth comes up to cover his lips, biting the inside of his mouth to calm himself. It's not his fault if his cock twitches, it's not his fault that his mind if flooded with feelings, of the desire to continue and do more; the mind might be wanting, but the body is tired, and he forces himself to breathe out.
His hand lifts, holding Tsurumaru close, letting his eyes close for a moment before he breathes out, content. Happy. Warm and flushed, completely at peace. ] So have I.
[ Turning his head, he looks upon Tsurumaru before he leans in to steal another kiss, slotting their mouths together, tender and sweet compared to the harshness of the mid-fuck making out. Stroking fingers over Tsuru's cheek, he nudges their noses together, eyes warm. ]
I like you, in all the ways you come to me. Clean, messy, tired or energised... All of them are beautiful to me.
(As formless as he feels, he still wills himself to meet him. When they kiss, it's dizzy and clumsy and he smiles, slightly self conscious but pleased all the same. Fingers move to brush the hair from Aki's face, pushing back and brushing away tangled strands and when they pull away, he's still smiling.
It's no secret that Tsurumaru is something of an actor. He always keeps a distance between himself and others, he smiles when he's sad, he says he's fine when he's miserable but right now, he's so close that Aki can touch him, he's bare with nothing to hide, and his eyes are so bright and full... this must be the truth.)
I was wrong. You're not good. (Thumb stroking the side of Aki's face,) You're better than I thought.
(Bending his knee, rubbing his leg against Aki's for just a moment. There's something menacing in his eye now and he teases,)
In every way.
(If he had a moment to rest, if he could have some time to recover, he'd certainly go for another round. He'd see what other ways they could have fun when there's no one around to disturb them but right now, he's happy like this; in his arms, fulfilled, at peace, basking in each other. )
[ Fingers trace the shape of Tsurumaru's cheekbone gently, sweet and soft as the callouses on his fingers, from sword fighting, from all the fighting, from the harshness - and it makes him soften, nudging their noses, seeking more kisses. He laughs, he can't help it, so full of joy and happiness. ]
Thank you.
[ He's not sure what else he's meant to say, but he cups his cheek all the same, pressing a kiss to his nose, to his forehead, to his cheek, humming sweetly. ]
As soon as he asks, there's a second of silence before he wills himself to move, to sit up and lean down over Aki. Tsurumaru takes his hand. Bringing it to his lips, he presses a kiss to the tips of his fingers and looks directly at Aki as he speaks,)
It would please me to no end if you carried me; if I could stay by your side.
(He knows this isn't what he meant but as a sword, what more could he want than to be carried by a warrior that would take care of him? )
You could use me to your heart's content, take me anywhere you go. I would do anything for you.
(Anything at all.)
I would even go to the grave with you.
(Just things Tsurumaru Kuninaga says casually.)
But I want to enjoy many exciting days with you first.
[ Aki watches, eyes wide, a touch breathless, before his fingers brush tenderly over the other man's skin, nodding his head. ]
Then stay with me. Stay.
[ Tilting up, Aki kisses him again, seeks it out, so his heart doesn't explode from the warmth of the moment, so he doesn't perish from how sweet and soft he is feeling. ]
I will carry you, Tsurumaru. Fight with you, alongside you, anything that you want from me. I'll do it.
[ Their noses brush, and he knows this is intense, this is - something more than words, but it feels perfect. It feels like exactly what he needed. ]
Let us live as many days as we have with everything we have, hm?
(He leans in to meet him, kissing him short but sweet. He wants to take him and just enjoy the moment without the overwhelming heat and rush of lust clouding him. Then, for a little while longer, he rests atop him, nuzzling against him, and waiting to find the strength, the energy, the will to get back up and wash off before finally retiring for the night. For now, they can wait. For now, they can just rest.
Luckily, they don't have to wander far when they still have their own private shower in their room. As promised, Tsurumaru washes his hair, rinsing it smooth, carefully brushing out the tangles. They sneak playful touches and quick kisses between refreshing and going back to the bedroom.
There are some things they leave for the next morning but for now, they make up their futons again. They tuck in for the night and Tsurumaru rolls over on his side so he can cuddle next to Aki. Resting his head on his chest, he listens to the steady sound of his heartbeat next to him and goes still...)
...
(It's quiet now. Even outside, there are barely any noises that can be heard and for a moment, he feels like this room is their own world. It's small and dark and quiet right now but if he thinks about it before...
It had been fun. From the moment they set out to come here. The car ride eating snacks and chattering away and checking out the scenery from the window, opening up to each other, finding joy in something as simple as a walk or sharing a meal, to a night of baring themselves to one another, to spending themselves to the point of tiredness... has it really already been a day? It feels like it's flown by so quickly and he finds himself thinking,
(I hope tomorrow is longer.)
Ah.
After a few seconds, he shifts to kiss Aki softly on the lips and cross his arm over his chest,)
... Let's become lovers.
(And when this night ends, he'll still have him the next day.)
[ Aki finds it easy, too easy, to curl up once the bathing is done.
He's tired but in a good way, relaxed and content from the intimacy and from the bath, warm from the water and from the energy rushing through him. It's a bubbling, content feeling, something that had felt so out of reach for him for so long, something that had begun to feel impossible until he woke up here and had a second chance at life.
It makes him feel... It makes him feel.
There aren't enough words for that.
Corralling Tsurumaru into his arms, curled up and prepared to drift off, he's not expecting the words when they come. One eye opens, and then the other, before he blinks at the man at his side, his eyebrows raising, just a little.
... Didn't they just...?
Didn't he - they did - it wasn't a dream?
Laughing softly, he leans in to the kiss, tilting his head and tugging Tsuru as close as he can get him. ]
(He can't believe he just asked Aki out and he's taking this long to answer. He almost thinks Aki's gone to sleep and he's missed his chance but then he stirs.

Why is he laughing? He's being serious???
Hitting his chest (gently), pouting (actually),)
Answer me properly.
(SPEAK IT INTO EXISTENCE OR ELSE.)
no subject
[ Stop pouting. Leaning in, Aki steals his lips, steals another kiss, because he's allowed, because they like each other, because they're lovers -
he can't help laughing against his mouth, just a little. ]
We're lovers, Tsurumaru.
no subject
(He can't help but smile, though, and he gives a quick, indignant peck before he settles back down against him.))
Then that's it.
(That's just it. They're lovers. They're a pair.
Even if Aki isn't taking this seriously at all. Tsurumaru will take it seriously for both of them.)
Good night.
(They'll sleep and when they wake up, they'll be together. They'll still have each other. They'll be lovers.)
