APRIL 29.... hello Keito
[It's real nice of that Keito kid to have made all of these worksheets for Japanese study, really. Hazel was surprised the other day, when Jae-Ha suddenly delivered them to him with his usual Jae-Ha flourishing, but he's kind of touched by it too... Hooter Kid isn't so bad.

The problem with having a magical spoken understanding of a language but only a very basic written understanding of it is this: he still can't read some of this. How does he do practice worksheets if he can't read them??

He decides he might as well call Keito, because why not call someone he's only ever spoken to on the internet. That's fine. Ring ring, nerd.]

A. YahooAnswersTXT
[So, as a (false) god with a domain of great things like love and youth and poetic inspiration, the prayers Hazel gets custom-tailored to himself sure are... as interesting as one would expect. Since he's been thinking for a few days now about what he should actually do as a (totally fake) god, taking into account his misgivings about the whole thing but still wanting to help normal people— well, he's decided to check Aengus' shrine every so often to see what he can do.

For the people. The people who really, desperately need help with love and youth, at least... The prayers manifest as plaques and handwritten tags hung on the shrine, so that anyone walking by can see exactly what he's dealing with, generally speaking.

Is this worth it... he doesn't even get paid, technically... He gingerly picks one up by its corner, not actually daring to pull it off the shrine in case that means he has to commit to it or something.]

Just one...? Mercy, I don't know what I did to deserve this.

[please..... this is harassment] The poor souls sure are in need...

B. hazel joins a gang
[Or: if you catch him in a variety of stores, he may be:

1. wearing a leather jacket, and shopping for more leather jackets
2. staring at a snack food and commenting that they Sure Are Tasteless Around Here
or
3. something else!! WILDCARD

He sure is out and about...]

[Those words could pull him in alone. They're a different sort of soft, one that gets him to look with quiet surprise as Hazel begins to lean back. He should— come here? Oh.

His heart skips more than a beat and that stupid, surprised expression fades slowly as he begins to shift with Hazel. He has to make sure their legs don't get tangled up or anything as he leans after him, immediately kissing him. Kissing this close is going to kill him again. He really thinks it will, but there's no way he can pass this up.

He's drawn to Hazel, one of his hands resting at his shoulder as the other presses against the couch so he doesn't just fall on top of him here. Comfortable, yes, comfortable. He's going to get way too comfortable.]

[That surprised expression is almost dopey enough to make him laugh, but Jae-Ha moves with him quickly enough that all he does is smirk before their lips meet again. Good, he's paying attention...

Hazel's arms slide up around his shoulders again, fingers locking together at the back of his neck. Kissing like this is a new thrill, still sweet like it has been, but more serious than before. He is very serious, though he's showing it like this rather than talking about it. Feelings are complicated, and even if his desire for Jae-Ha is part of that, it's the simplest part - the part he knows how to deal with.

So, kissing on the couch like this. Jae-Ha holding himself up is just holding back, and that's okay... but Hazel tugs insistently at him anyway between this kiss and the next. Comfortable, Jae-Ha!!]

[This is much more thrilling than before. The same kiss turns into something a lot more bold and adventurous, and to be honest, having Hazel tugging on him persistently in such a demanding way is unfairly arousing. He's still hesitant to push forward for that, kissing him and curling fingers into the couch before the more insistent tugs begin.

Still not close enough? He doesn't think so either, so it's right away that he moves with the pulling. Carefully, he settles himself completely on top of Hazel, his other hand now free to cup Hazel's face as he kisses him deeper.

Comfortable... Well, he's definitely comfortable, even as he heats up that kiss a little. Being this close to Hazel is absolutely intoxicating. He needs another moment to make sure he's still thinking straight, but then— that hardly matters right now.]

[That's much better. Hazel wraps his arms tighter around Jae-Ha when he finally gets as close as he can, almost possessively - he can't go changing his mind now, that would ruin the mood. The kiss is intense enough, and with the added thrill of Jae-Ha's weight on top of him, Hazel is completely lost in the moment as he kisses back.

This is close enough, for now... He's free to think about the way Jae-Ha tastes, and how his body feels like it's going to catch fire in every place they're touching and then some, and - and this is when his face heats up - Jae-Ha making jokes about helping him undress, earlier. He probably shouldn't think about that last one now, or he'll get really ahead of himself.

Since this is taking it slow, and all. Just some innocent kissing, with feelings, and Hazel shifting just enough to bend one leg at the knee and press it against Jae-Ha's hip. Slow.]

[Innocent kissing with feelings. Jae-Ha's trying to remind himself of the same, but he's well aware of how Hazel feels beneath him. He moves up just enough to get a better angle on this kiss, their bodies brush the slightest bit in that motion, and he feels like he might lose it.

Repeatedly, he gets more heated and backs off a little right after, that noticeable way he's holding back clear in every one of his movements. This is so nice, just like this. It's perfect, really. But he keeps thinking about where it could go, and how easily it would be to edge past that line little by little.

He's doing well, all of his thoughts considered. But one of his hands moves to drag itself down Hazel's side, messing his shirt up a little as he pushes back up and over it. He just wants to leave him a little disheveled, so that's fine, right?

He's so into this he doesn't even get to check if Hazel's blushed at all. It's too bad.]

[Completely innocent kissing with feelings. There's no way every movement of Jae-Ha's is driving him crazy, or that being able to feel Jae-Ha holding back makes it even worse. Hazel wants and wants, and it just isn't fair to leave him feeling like this when maybe they shouldn't cross that last line just yet. On the couch. After the rest of today.

He hums when Jae-Ha starts messing with his shirt - whether that's approval or disapproval is unclear, he's free to decide for himself - moving his hands to cup the back of Jae-Ha's head with one and slip down the back of his neck and onto his back with the other. If his fingers happen to seek out warm skin instead of his shirt, well, these things happen.

All of this getting heated and then slowing down is really going to push him too far, though. He pulls back from the deep kiss eventually, when Jae-Ha backs off for a moment, kissing the corner of his lips and then down to his jawline.

Totally slowing his roll, here.]

[He can't. He definitely can't keep going like this without just going and going. Hazel kisses at his jaw and there's a little exhale from Jae-Ha that's almost like a gasp. It feels like all of him is on fire, and it's such a nice, pleasant thing compared to all of today, maybe all of this past week, that he doesn't want it to stop.

His fingers drag back down Hazel's shirt, this time working to find where the shirt ends so they can slip up underneath it. Even if his hand isn't particularly cold, his fingers feel cool against warm skin as he trails up along Hazel's side.

His mouth is free, for now, so since he knows he's losing his control here, he figures he should at least offer an out.]

Is this going too far? [It's nearly whispered, and it's clearly asked like he doesn't think so, or like he might think so but he doesn't want to. Hazel feels too nice beneath him like this and he's too desperate to keep him as close as he possibly can.]

[This really is too nice. Hazel can't help but press up into Jae-Ha's touch, kissing his jaw again as he just enjoys how cool and enticing those fingers are, and— is it too far...?

Probably. Even the way he asks it is too much, the quiet sound of his voice urging Hazel to go further than this, because surely... Surely there's nothing wrong with edging over the line here. He certainly wants to, and that's more than obvious by his movements.

But the nagging thought that they shouldn't go this far here and now is persistent, until the tension slowly goes out of him and he sinks back into the couch. Can he still keep Jae-Ha close, though... He sighs.]

Might be. Much as I'd like to disagree with myself about what counts as rushin' things, and which things I'd like to do to ya, well... it's been a long day.

[Lamely... at least he's being honest. Not on the couch, babe.]

[Why did he have to give an out, why couldn't they have just rushed things and made mistakes... Jae-Ha thinks something similar to that for a moment, but it fades quickly enough, along with his own tension that's been building up. He sighs, slipping his hand out from Hazel's shirt and pressing it to his cheek, instead, so he can give him a nice, slow kiss that's a little more well behaved.]

If that means I still have the hope of another day, it's not so bad.

[He has to leave a thirsty comment out there, because he is really dying to know just what this is. If he's not wanting to rush things, it's actually a little promising, but... Ah, well. He shouldn't think about it right now.

Hazel wants to relax? Jae-Ha stays on top of him like he is, pressing another kiss to the corner of his lips.] Let's keep it like this.

[Oh— he's not expecting to be kissed again so soon, somehow. After just telling him no, he expected maybe awkwardly sitting three feet apart on this couch for a while at best... That kiss is a welcome surprise, and the way it makes his heart beat faster after everything else is pretty telling.

And then there's that thirsty comment, but that's fine, considering that's what he literally meant. He hums, turning his head slightly to catch his lips and kiss him gently one more time. This is good... they can stay like this for now.]

I did tell ya that good things come for boys who wait. [he, too, must compulsively be like this. They're just such a great match!!] Stay there a while.

[Ugh... If he had pulled back, it would have been way too sad for him to handle. Hazel would have felt it for sure, and then that would be the opposite of helping. It only made sense to try and stay close like this. Thankfully, it works out. He was almost thinking Hazel might need the space himself, or might tell him to go— but no, here they are. Impatient and still waiting.

He moves his cupped hand to run through Hazel's hair, smoothing it out of the way as he kisses him again.]

All of these promises... [He hopes he won't end this disappointed. But he's not going to say something so pressuring out loud. Instead, he's going to close his eyes and just settle against Hazel comfortable. So maybe he's still focusing on every place where they're touching and the way he tastes, but he's stopped here.]

I wouldn't be able to leave from this spot, right now. I'd say we deserve a little of this comfort.

[Hmm... this is going well. Hazel doesn't know how to handle this, balancing feelings with what he wants physically, but being comforted by Jae-Ha just being here with him is a good sign. It's still exciting to have him like this, and while he might go crazy from anticipation, this is... cozy.

Of all possibilities. Cozy. He reaches up to tug the bow out of Jae-Ha's hair once again and work his fingers into it, just to hold him.]

I'd reckon we deserve more than just a lil comfort. [What a day!!] And I'm a man of my word.

[is it weird to actually give his word about this, WHATEVER...]

[He just... takes his hair down for him?? Somehow, he's very into that. He laughs lightly at the words that follow, smiling bright as those fingers lace through his hair. It's so nice, like this. Hazel giving him his word like that honestly makes him excited, and he ducks his head lower and to the side to kiss near Hazel's ear, instead.

This is more of a hug, now, a little.]

Save talk like that for later or you'll turn me on. [Ah. The way he says it is like he's speaking any casual joke, so is he serious...? He'll leave that for Hazel to decide. One of his hands rests at the side of Hazel's neck that he isn't taking up space from, and the other rests above their heads.

Hmm, well, he's just going to pepper the side of Hazel's face with little slow kisses, to pass the time. They're relaxed, a little lazy, and he's into it but it's definitely not heated like earlier. He figures he better avoid that.]

[Ah, he's cute now. With his other hand Hazel lazily - and sloppily, because it's one-handed - loops Jae-Ha's ribbon around his fingers before settling that hand on his back again. That innocent kiss makes him smile, even if the comment that comes after it is inappropriate... He hums in response; he'll remember that, don't worry.

The rest of the kisses are cute, too - he's still pleasantly surprised by how well this is working out, enough that cooling off from before is a little disappointing, but still trumped by this lighter mood. So many little kisses...]

You're a sweetheart. [he says this earnestly, right after that lewd comment?? okay.] I'm gettin' swept off my feet.

[He really likes that he wrapped the ribbon around his fingers, too. How sweet is that. That, and now he's getting compliments because Hazel saw the sweet past his lewd comments? Ah, he really feels so light, it's almost like he's flying right here.]

If I couldn't do even that, what kind of man would I be? [That's between two other kisses at his cheek bone, and now he's shifting to kiss even more of his face. Everywhere, these little things to show what he's feeling as his hand cups his face and he stays resting on top of him. Hmm, yes, this is more okay by the minute. He even curls back one of his legs a little behind him, as he's leaning up for some kisses to the forehead.

His hair is everywhere and this is entirely Hazel's fault.] This is the least you deserve.

[All of this attention is going to kill him... He can't get rid of this smile now, not that he's trying. A few times he turns his head to press a tiny kiss of his own wherever he can reach, but mostly he's just letting Jae-Ha do whatever he wants. Hmm!

When Jae-Ha moves up, Hazel draws his hand out of his hair - which sure is everywhere, nicely done - to slide both arms around his waist and hold him there instead. All he wants to do is stay just like this and hold Jae-Ha, whether they're kissing or not... ugh.]

I dunno how much more I can take before I'm wrapped around your lil finger. [How serious is he about this... it's a mystery. At least somewhat, which is exciting and also terrifying. Help.]

[Ah— hands around his waist surprise a laugh right out of him, and he slips that hand away from Hazel's cheek to slip under and wrap around his shoulders, behind his neck, instead. Hazel around his finger? Well, it's nice to hear that it's a mutual feeling they're sharing here, if that's serious at all.]

I don't know if this couch is meant for two men lying like this, but I think we're managing it quite well.

[He's so happy. He's so happy... his grin won't go away, even when he tries to be cool and calm. So he can only curl it down a little to try and hide it against the side of Hazel's, pressing one more kiss to the top of his head.]

[It's a genuine possibility... Even right now he doesn't know how much of a bad thing that would be, getting so wrapped up in Jae-Ha, but he also doesn't know if that's the kisses and his overactive heartbeat talking.

Which, honestly, would not contradict anything... But he'll think about that some other time. For now it's this, being here and happy about being here together. There's definitely something mutual here.]

Well, it's a mighty comfortable couch. I've got no complaints.

[It is mighty comfortable. Jae-Ha hugs him closer, pressing his face as close as he can manage without hurting his neck. It's nice, like this. There's this problem that the longer they go on distracting themselves, the more he has spaces to think back on what happened earlier, what could have happened, how he could have that happen to himself, or Hazel could disappear one morning— there's all of these horrible things that get a brief, dramatic dip in his mood before he presses a long kiss just above Hazel's ear.]

I think you could hold me a little tighter. [With that joking, he smiles against him. Mm... yes. It's nice like this. There are so many things he wants to say that he's not sure he can, right now, but when they're like this... They don't have to say much at all. Just hold each other.]

[Oh— well, that's certainly a negative feeling, as brief as it is. Hazel glances sideways at him, concerned but still appreciating that kiss... hmm. Well. He will hold him a little tighter, then, after shifting minutely to ensure he's in a position down here that he can stand to be comfortable in for a while, because he doesn't intend to move soon.

So Jae-Ha gets rewarded again for his jokes, that's all that's happening here... He smiles again, squeezing gently around his waist.] Anythin' else?

[His heart swells up at such a simple thing being rewarded to him, just like that. What is he going to do about this... He really is a lost cause. And now he's being asked for more?]

Just... [He shifts the tiniest bit himself, so that he's comfortable with all of his extra height up here on top of Hazel, one arm still wrapped around behind his neck as the other rests above them. He turns just enough to press a kiss to his cheek, lingering there even when he stops.] Stay with me.

[This is all he wants, really.]

[Ah yes, there's so much Jae-Ha to deal with here. Hazel's still while he settles, so for once they're not fidgeting constantly. That kiss and those words could end him right here... Stay with him? Hasn't he been asking Jae-Ha for the same thing for days?]

Done. [that was easy!!] That's been the plan.

[Yes, but it's different when he asks for it, too. It's his way of saying "don't disappear" or something along those lines. Not that Hazel can help it... Well. He's going to cut himself off before he thinks more on that. Instead, he hums against his cheek like he's pleased, his eyes drifting closed just so he can fully enjoy the feel of this hug.

They'll lie here like this until they start to get sore, probably.]

[So, LATER... after a very pure evening without sin, they eventually have to go to bed. This is business as usual, though maybe slightly gayer than usual, and it's a very uneventful night.

But Hazel hasn't been a consistent sleeper in years, and that is also business as usual, but the ayakashi attack from earlier in the day only makes it worse. The dream he has he won't remember for long, only that there's so much running and no matter how hard he tries, his legs are leaden and the monster is gaining on him. He can't breathe - his lungs are on fire and so is everything else, even the monster, but that isn't right because that never happened—

Someone is hurt and Hazel should be there but he isn't, he's running, he's been running for so long that he doesn't know if he's heading toward or further away from that person, but it doesn't matter because his legs won't take him any further no matter how hard he tries. A bell tolls somewhere and abruptly he's awake, staring at his ceiling, breathing hard in the dark.

Okay, well. There have just been too many monsters today, and he's embarrassed to need someone else's presence but if he sits here in the dark he'll just picture bodies leftover from monster attacks, so— without actually getting up or anything, he reaches over and knocks on the wall separating his bedroom from Jae-Ha's.

Good.......morning....]

[Jae-Ha's night has been rather uneventful. He isn't having any dreams, and the day had been pretty nice after all of the drama from the early afternoon. But it's because of that drama that when the first knock hits, he practically jumps out of his bed.

He shouldn't, since it's just a knock on the wall, but he's wide awake now and he clutches his chest as he pushes himself to sit up and stare towards the wall.]

Hazel...? [He wasn't just hearing things, right? Was Hazel doing something in there?]
