Who: (Saruhiko) Fushimi + you
When: IC August 23rd-30th
Where: Around
What: So apparently those two jackass teenaged shinki are staying. Fushimi doesn't approve of this and is getting the heck out for a while.

[Yeah, so, after realizing Roy had taken in two abandoned shinki and that one of them was the Asshole from the Festival and the other his strangely codependent best friend (which Fushimi thought was concerning and really he should maybe try to fix that (yes, the irony is lost on him)), Fushimi has been doing his best to either hide in is bedroom or be anywhere not the damn temple. He can't really get mad at Roy for taking them in. He was a genuinely decent guy and sure, Fushimi was now dealing with this fear of being replaced if one of the brats was a weapon better suited for Roy, but he also knew he was the exemplar and, frankly, there would be few abilities better than his for fighting so he's okay. He swears.

Still getting out for a while.]

The Far Shore

[Fushimi is most likely going to be found around Njord's temple a lot. Misaki is there, after all, even if he's not really keen on the whole "beach" air she's got going on here. He'll also spend a lot of time just sort of. Sitting outside of it, texting Misaki to come invite him or waiting for the idiot to get back so he can be let in, typing away at his laptop.

This may or may not be creepy. Feel free to call him out on this.

Or feel free to see him wandering around, bored and poking at his phone.]

The Near Shore

[Sometimes he gets bored of being dead and heads into Tokyo. Usually, this is to find some tech something, as the more Fushimi messes with technology the more he realizes that he can make more interesting things. Still, parts are always useful, as are games, so he does often find something to buy.

Please don't ask how he gets this money. He does not want to explain "forum moderation" and "freelance codework" to someone he doubts will get it.

And he certainly doesn't want anyone to bring up the questionable legality of some of the freelance he does. What are morals?]

Wildcard!

[Want to do a thing I didn't mention? Let me know!]

Comments

[thevanguard]

But you didn't give me an actual...

[ He trails off when Saru scowls at him. Blinks.

Oh.

Oh. ]

Wait, what?!

[monkeyblue]

Ugh, how the hell did you make to adulthood?

[Stupid Misaki.]

[thevanguard]

Hey! How would I know something like that?! You never said anything!

[ Did he? Had he said things like this before and Yata just thought he was trolling him? ]

Are you just fucking with me here? Because seriously, it's not that funny.

[monkeyblue]

Misaki, how many times have I said "I don't hate you"?

[thevanguard]

[ He's still sputtering. A lot. ]

Look, there's a big difference between "People you don't hate" and "People you like"!

[monkeyblue]

Well. I like you. Obviously.

[thevanguard]

How was that obvious?!

[monkeyblue]

Tch. I actively seek you out?

[thevanguard]

Yeah, but I figured that was just because I was less annoying than everyone else.

[monkeyblue]

I mean, that's part of it.

[thevanguard]

[ He squints. ]

What's the rest of it?

[monkeyblue]

Things I can't explain because I don't have all my memories?

[thevanguard]

[ That has him blinking in surprise because he hadn't factored that into this. ]

You mean... even from before?

[ Had he known that? He didn't think he'd known that. ]

Well, I guess there is that.

[monkeyblue]

Trust me, that memory we share is full of junk like that. There was something, I just don't know what.

[thevanguard]

[ He'd gotten something of a sense for that, too, but hadn't been sure how to even start to understand it. There just hadn't been enough there. ]

If you could guess...?

[monkeyblue]

[Fushimi sighs. He doesn't want to talk about emotions and bullshit like that.]

....it felt right. There was a lot of pain, but something finally felt right again.

[thevanguard]

[ He hums thoughtfully, thinking about the memory they'd both gotten back. A faint hint of a smile plays about the corner of his lips as he nods. ]

Yeah. Yeah, it did.

[monkeyblue]

So. Obviously I've liked you for years. I just don't remember all of it.

[Still being vague about which "like" he means...]

[thevanguard]

[ He hates when you're vague, Saru.

Yata sits up, poking him in the chest with a narrowed gaze. ]

Liked me how?

[monkeyblue]

...tch.

[Fushimi bats the hand away, focused on his laptop for all of fifteen seconds. He really doesn't want to talk about this. He hates talking about things like this. But whatever happened in their mortal life was caused by him not using words. And even if he doesn't know the whole story, he knows a few things just from the emotions of that memory.]

Guess.

[Saruhiko.]

[thevanguard]

[ Yata rolls his eyes, looking exasperated. ]

I don't want to guess. If I wanted to guess I would have done that instead of asking you in the first place! Liked me how?

[monkeyblue]

Like you're the most important person in my life?

[Stupid Misaki.]

I'm not sure how, just that you were. Are. Whatever.

[thevanguard]

[ That.... doesn't completely answer his question. But it answers another one, and he settles again, frowning fiercely for a moment.

Then he thwaps Saru upside the head with a pillow again. ]

So are you. So now I guess you're really stuck with me.

[monkeyblue]

[This time Fushimi grabs the pillow and yanks it from Misaki's hand.]

So what, you're my boyfriend now?

[thevanguard]

[ Yata freezes as the pillow is yanked away, staring at Saru in surprise. ]

Hah?!
