I don't know if I'd say that

I guess that's a yes
I don't get it
But I don't dislike the thought

[pushpin]

why not

why dont u get it
uve always wanted to die fighting n if ur at my side, i cant leave that part of u unsatisfied

[swordhardy]

Why not? I'm a daemon. Did you forget?

That's not the confusing part.
No... that I understand well.
You'll need 100 years before you can even come close.

[pushpin]

obviously not
but ur a lot of things, so u can be this too

then ill live to 121

[swordhardy]

Aah?
"A lot of things"
What else am I?

Don't promise unless you mean it
You know what those mean to me

[pushpin]

u know exactly what u are, u always have
a daemon, a rangetsu, a swordsman
a brother n son
a protector, a monster, a friend who aint judgmental
lover, partner
stubborn stupid wild & loyal
someone who sees what they want n goes after it
thats the man ive been in love w/ for 4 yaers
maybe in another 4 u can stop wonderin why

i know
im promisin
besides, i mighta been as strong as u once when i became a dragon
even if it feels like cheatin a lil bit.....

[swordhardy]

…You’re generous tonight
Are you drunk?

I would say a lotta bit
I like you better as you are anyway

[pushpin]

a little

u said that before
i made a lot of room in me for u, u know

[swordhardy]

Drinking that shitty beer?

And I’ll probably say it again

… yeah, I know.

[pushpin]

ya....
i upgraded to whiskey this time

regrettin anything ?

[swordhardy]

Look at you, you really are growing up.

No.
I’ve never regretted a single thing.

[pushpin]

shut up, i can drink if i wanna
cheap beer OR hard spirits !

yea i like that about u too

[swordhardy]

Let’s drink together
You can cry on me like you used to, if you want.

Do you have any?
Regrets.

[pushpin]

we both know i aint needda be drunk for that
but i held it together on my birthday this year !

a few
but none to do w/ u

[swordhardy]

Hahaha
You’re right, you broke tradition.
Next time you’ll have to cry twice.

You can still tell me.
I know there’s a lot we don’t talk about, but we always can.
No matter what it is.

[pushpin]

ur such an asshole
come buy me drinks

i know

[ ... ]

if i changed too much
or left u for some reason
what would u do ? really

[swordhardy]

Sure, where are you?

I’d want to kill you.
But I don’t know if I would.

[pushpin]

eden
ill meet u outside when u get close

why not

[swordhardy]

Alright. Don’t get too drunk without me.

…
I don’t know if I want to kill someone I love again.
It felt …
Well.
That feeling would probably be gone by then, anyway, so maybe I would.

[pushpin]

ill stop til u get here ! just bcoz u asked so sweet

[ he isn't sure either way. Rokurou is a creature of habits and of blood — is it more romantic for him to show restraint? in a moment of liquored clarity, he considers his own depravity. ]

gone huh
wouldnt have much to lose at that point i guess

[swordhardy]

Don’t misunderstand.
What I do feel doesn’t change easily. Even if you changed or tried to leave me, I’d feel about you as I do now.

It was how killing someone I loved didn’t feel … good. Like it usually does.

But I’m not a good man. I wouldn’t allow you to find your own happiness elsewhere.

You already knew that though.

[pushpin]

[ "didn't feel good", "wouldn't allow you to find your own happiness elsewhere" — he lets out the breath he didn't realize he was holding in a rare laugh. ]

yea i did
thanks

[swordhardy]

[ SOMETIME NOT TOO MUCH LATER... ]

They won't let me in

[pushpin]

i told u to text me when u was close, dickhead
i gotta paint u
stay still !!!

[ he'll be out in a few minutes, bioluminescent rune-like patterns in red, orange, and yellow from crown to sole, disappearing beneath the scant clothes he's wearing — drop-crotch joggers that cuff at the calf and a pair of heavy boots. hair dried and clumpy with salt from sweat and seawater, a bubble helmet on as he wades out from the sea, bursting as it touches air. ]

[ the waves compromise his already delicate balance send him tumbling onto his hands in the sand beneath before he rears back up to a drunk, slumping height. ]

Hey. [ mood improving as he draws into Rokurou's orbit — or draws him into his own, perhaps — he flashes a sly look and a "follow me" curl of a finger. further down the beach: buckets of bioluminescent paint in so many assorted colors. Guanshan could go for the ones that are tried and true to the man's theme, sunset oranges and midnight purples... but instead grabs a brush full of glowing red, not unlike the eerie glow of his blighted eye during a frenzy. ]

[ this color only. ]

Shirt off 'n spread your arms.

[swordhardy]

[ In similar lack, Rokurou's only wearing a pair of sweats, plain tee, and slip-on sandals instead of his usual warrior nines garb. Light, casual wear made lighter when he strips automatically on Guanshan's command, ripple of white v-neck gone in sleek overhead motion.

Tilting his head, Rokurou tightens the tie keeping his hair in place—in a rare sight, it's tied up today to keep the thick mop off his nape. ]

How about a kiss first?

[ Even though he's already spreading his arms, leaving his chest wide open as a canvas to Guanshan's artistic ministrations. Red, blue, orange, purple, vomit green—doesn't matter to him what the redhead does, only that it ends up drawing a shitty smile to that freckled face in the end. ]

Lemme taste that whiskey breath.

[ .... He may have pre-gamed on the way. ]
