August Days
Who: Aymeric and CR (Prompt 1) and OPEN
When: August 14-20 ICly, rest of August oocly
Where: Forseti's Temple, The Far Shore, Near Shore, mainly Tokyo
What: Why flowers are bad, GODDAMN CAT, and an Ishgardian attempts to tourist in one of the largest cities in Japan
1. Red Flowers (Major Spoilers for Heavensward) *Closed to CR only*
[It was unusual for such flowers to spring out of Forseti's temple grounds given that the occupant was not even a novice when it came to gardening. The hawks did not know what to make of them so they stayed on the trees and roof, keeping watch if they did more than sprout. The owner had never seen them in his homeland so like most who were curious, Aymeric wanted to get a closer look at the ones within the outside cracks of his main walkway.]
Peculiar flowers...why are they here? Mayhap due to the recent celebration?
[He kneels down to get a better look but he freezes. He swears he just heard a voice just now...and something familiar about it.]
2. That Darn Cat! (Open)
[Ever seen a old white fluff cat wandering around the Far Shore for some odd reason? Did he bite or claw you when you tried to pet him and you're not a child? Did you catch him fighting another cat and attempted to break it apart? Or maybe he was playing with some shiny toy? Or maybe you just saw him and decided to follow the crazy beast back to his lair.
Either way, the cat has an owner and if you see him, you may want to explain what happened.]
3. An Ishgardian in Tokyo (Open)
...what is a cosplayer?
[The one time Aymeric decides to venture somewhere not in Europe or Heligoland, someone decides to ask him that due to his pointy ears. All he wants to do is see what the big deal is about Tokyo and why this Tower was a good thing. But he thought that no one would notice him in a crowd...despite being 6'5. Hells, he's not even wearing his armor! Too hot for it.
That just means that he has to go to default for now; Near Shore residents may not be able to see him but Far Shore folks can.]

no subject
[Traditional monarchy boy right there. What is this "election" you speak of?]
Oh, like what many of these countries have. I don't know anything about those, however. I just know I do not like the idea of you being targeted for trying to help people, Aymeric. I love you too much.
[Wait, has Leo said that out loud before?]
1/2
2/2
What...what did you just say?
no subject
[Rare, he knows, but...
Oh.
Oh.
Well, Leo is imitating a tomato again today how nice. The hand not still pressed against that scar quickly moves to cover his face.]
I...said that out loud, didn't I. I mean, I'm not ashamed to say it, I just...
[He just sighs.]
My mouth and my emotions got away from me. Again.
no subject
Best to have said what you have thought rather than outright deny them. That seems to be commonplace here but we are far from it.
[And throughout all of this, he smiles. Because he hasn't felt this way in a very long time. And it also makes him think back after Tanabata in which he spoke of wanting to see where this goes...was this the goal?]
no subject
And has it really only been since Tanabata?]
Have I ever not said what I mean? Really, Aymeric.
no subject
Nay, you have always spoken the truth and what has been on your mind. As I try to as well. You may think it strange but I have never been in love before this. I have no idea what in entails or how to realize what it feels like. But if it is to stand by someone through the seven hells or to find comfort in waking next to them when the sun rises or wanting to protect them with every fiber of my being or to want nothing more than a smile from them...then yes, this feels like love.
no subject
...gods, why are you so much more poetic than I am? I've never been in love either, but all I can say to describe this is I would rather go back to Ishgard than Nohr, given the chance, since you couldn't come to Nohr with me.
no subject
[But doesn't he have duties back in Nohr? And let's be real, if he had to choose between Ishgard and Nohr it would be very difficult.]
no subject
no subject
I did not realize...
[He can't help but kiss the man, smiles and all.]
I would be doing a dishonor if I do not speak of traveling to your homelands as well. Because who would I be to the man whom I was able to open myself to, to show not the face of a leader but of a simple man? That we cared not of class or bloodlines but someone I could call my first friend in this realm. Happiness does not even begin to describe how I feel around you.
no subject
I love you, Aymeric. I really do.
no subject
And I love you.
no subject
That is the fewest words I have ever heard you say.
no subject
Tis a new lesson I had to learn here. And...while the sentiment is charming, I know that you would want more than honeyed words.
[He moves up closer, setting his other arm around Leo's waist and closes the gap between them again but a chaste kiss would not do. He wanted his dear one to feel much more as lips connected with lips, he parting them slightly as he slipped in to take a small taste.
Hey, never say that he wasn't a passionate kisser ok?]
no subject
Alright then.
Aymeric's careful kissing is met with Leo's own, bolder kiss and the prince wastes no time in deepening the kiss.
Goten's not around, he hopes.]
