Dreamland (round 3)

[foundationmods]

[A strange house of some sort sits in the pitch black nothingness that exists around it. For those just now wandering in, they will be drawn to the building, finding it lit up in a way that it should not be. It's as if the whole area- house, yard, fence, and giant sakura tree- all give off their own light, and the newly-arrived are drawn to it like a moth to the flame.

Inside the boundary of the yard, the familiar faces of those who have passed on already will greet them. Depending on who is asked, they might give an accurate explanation. But even if they don't, one thing is clear: you don't want to leave this place. The area outside feels Dangerous, and it is probably best to stay put.

Fortunately, the house is built in an old style, and there are many rooms to explore. One room on the second floor seems locked, but the rest are open to explore as desired. The standard rooms are easy to find: kitchen, a W.C. and a bathroom, a sitting room of some sort, and a couple bedrooms (with plenty of futons for the dead to use). There are also several tatami mat rooms with nothing in them currently, but it seems like there might be some use for those rooms.

Around the house, perches for birds can be found. No birds are on them currently, though.

Sometimes Watanuki can be found in the house, but most of the time the dead will be left to their own devices. The question is, what will they do here?]

[ He lets out a quiet sigh, brow furrowing firmly. ]

You...!

[ There's a quiet growl, but he... seemingly deflates a little. Seemingly. There's a small shake of his head. ]

... I hurt you first. Maybe I'm angriest because... [ lowering his head, hiding his face the best he can, even if voice makes it clear he's tearing up ] ... As much as I wanna punch you in your face, there's the part of me that's happy to see you again.

[Kurama reaches out to run gentle fingers through Akira's hair.]

...I missed you.

[beguiledcard]

[ There's the faintest sound of Akira's breath catching, and Kurama's ears being what they are will be the only reason he can hear it. He releases a frustrated exhale before moving forward and wrapping his arms around Kurama.

Just. Let him bury his face into your shoulder for now, okay? He's tired... It's been a seriously long month, for him. ]

[byanyother_name]

[It's been a pretty long month for Kurama, too. He gives a soft sigh and holds Akira firmly. Protectively.

And if there's a very faint tremor to the hands against Akira's back, well, that's just between them.]

[beguiledcard]

[ He won't tell anyone.

Both of his arms tighten in their hold on Kurama. ]

I don't think this is what they mean when talking about being with the person of your dreams.

[ It ain't even his dream it's happening in.

And bad joke is bad, but he can be excused, due to extenuating circumstances or something. ]

[byanyother_name]

Does that mean you've had dreams about me?

[Bad joke is bad but Kurama enjoys Akira a lot. Also it's a good opening to flirttease gently.]

[beguiledcard]

[ His shoulders tense the tiniest bit - not in that uncomfortable way, but in that way someone freezes up when caught, red-handed? But, in the end, he just gives a soft 'heh' and squeezes Kurama a little tighter, pulls him just the tiniest bit closer as he quietly answers. ]

... Many times.

[Kurama is not made of stone. That soft, sincere reply...

One of his hands moves to tip Akira's head up so he can kiss him.]

[beguiledcard]

[ His eyes widen at first... but he doesn't remotely hesitate to lean into the kiss, one hand coming to rest on the side of Kurama's face.

There's a tiny smile as he lets it linger however long Kurama wants it to. ]

[byanyother_name]

[Kurama definitely lingers, kissing Akira slow and sweet. But he does eventually let it break, green eyes warm as they meet Akira's.]

I think you still owe me a second date.

[beguiledcard]

[ Those words get a soft laugh, light and maybe, possibly containing some relief. ]

Do I?

[ He lets his gaze simply rest on Kurama's face for a moment. After a couple of seconds, he presses one more, brief kiss to the redhead's lips. ]

I'm assuming you'll wanna take the night to rest, after... all of that. Plus, I have a date with someone's fists in a little bit.

[ Akira, don't say that so casually... ]

How about we do something tomorrow?

[byanyother_name]

You do, though it's understandable if it slipped your mind.

[Kurama smiles at the brief kiss, fingers running through Akira's hair.]

As long as it's a friendly date. Doing something tomorrow sounds wonderful.
