Probably gonna be nsfw

[sojournment]

[ It's been about 10 years for Skylark since he last saw Nazuna, and a lot has changed for him since then. Namely, becoming the sort of person with the time and capability to do something like "go to another world to visit someone dear to him", though it doesn't seem like much time has passed for Nazuna. Which is...well, at least it wasn't that hard to convince Nazuna that he's still Skylark?

On some day when Nazuna is free during his trip here, he asked if they could just hang out together, and thus they are here in this cafe. Skylark has some bubble tea, the first time he's drinking it in about 10 years or so. He's dressed casually in a shirt, jeans, and a jacket, all of which were acquired with slightly dubious means when he first arrived here. ]

Hehe, it's nice to spend time with you again like this.

[bunnii]

[Getting time off isn't easy for an idol-- less so when you're one who works as hard as Nazuna does. But there are just some things that you make time for. And having a friend from another world come all this way to visit was one of those things. The other members of Ra*bits were more than understanding, even insisting, continuing to remind him just how much his kids have grown up.

So once he's finished with his classes for the day, instead of going to work... he heads to the cafe where he agreed to meet Lark. Even though he knows now, it still takes him a moment when he looks around to pick him out. He hadn't known Lark all that long in reality but it was still a pretty big leap.

In a lot of ways.]

Heeey~! Sorry, I hope I didn't keep you waiting. I've been looking forward to this all day, actually.

[sojournment]

No worries. [ He waves his hand to shrug it off. ] It's not bad to just sit back with a drink and watch people pass by once in a while. [ and he means this earnest. The scenery of this city isn't the sort of thing he'd normally see back home, after all. ]

You look as lovely as always. How have things been for you lately?

[bunnii]

[He takes the seat across from Skylark, relaxing against the back of the chair. This new look was a lot to take in from a distance. Up close it was pretty disarming. It was hard not to stare a bit.]

That does sound like the kind of thing you'd have fun doing.

[But... "lovely", huh?]

Too bad I can't really say the same about you. You really ah-- matured since the last time I saw you.

[sojournment]

[ Don't think he hasn't noticed the staring, Nazuna. Skylark sets down the drink on the table, resting his elbows against the surface to his head up on his hands. ]

Haha, are you saying you don't find me cute anymore, nii-chan?

[bunnii]

[For all the times he teased Lark, he really has no right to talk. That doesn't stop his cheeks from puffing out for a second before he sighs.]

That face isn't cute at all~

[He doesn't know what he would call it. Handsome? Sexy? It feels like no matter what, it would be embarrassing to admit.]

[sojournment]

Ah, I'm wounded...

[ He says, totally unwounded at all. ]

What would you call it now, then?

[bunnii]

Are not.

[But he just had to go and ask, didn't he. Nazuna leans his head on one hand, leaning on his cheek.]

Mmmmm... "attractive" I guess...

[sojournment]

[ What was he supposed to do, not ask? Sounds like a perfectly good waste of an opportunity.

But hearing Nazuna's answer makes him break out into a smile. ]

Oho? I'm glad you think so, nii-chan~

[bunnii]

I doubt you needed me to tell you that. You probably have all kinds of life experience by now.

[It's hard to imagine him not, looking at him and listening to him. He didn't just grow up to be a looker... he had a great deal of charm, too. Nazuna wouldn't be at all surprised if he turned out to be be pretty popular. Or at the very least he's pretty sure he managed to get that special person of his.]

[sojournment]

You could say that.

[ "Lot of life experience" was perhaps putting it mildly. One does not get to be an Exalted and lead an unexciting life, apparently. ]

But being praised by my nii-chan hits different than when my wife does it, you know?

[ So about that, Nazuna,,, ]

[Creatures would die out in the woods all the time. One wrong turn and you might easily find yourself targeted by all sorts of unpleasant evils lurking under the cloak of darkness. Human or monster... no one was completely safe. Run into the wrong being and you were likely to find yourself praying for either a quick death or a miracle, though both were few and far between.

Vampires were among the strongest monsters. Few could hope to put up a fight against their superior strength and senses. Fortunately most were not especially violent. But they were the few who could wander such places without fear of the dark.

That was precisely how one such vampire came to find a fatally wounded bird. It may have been playing dead to fool it's attacker but he hadn't been able to last long enough to get back up when the coast was finally clear. If the bird stayed here it would surely die.

He wasn't sure why but he felt a certain amount of curiosity. He picked up the small bird and carried him back to his home. He gave him blood and cleaned and dressed his wounds. And he even gave him his own bedroom to rest in while he regained his health.

But what had been a unique whim... gradually became a part of his life. Rather than being set free when he was well, he'd given him a place to stay and slowly began to get to know him. And in a way it was nice. It had been some time since he had company. It was warm-- comfortable even. And to make things even better, Skylark, as he learned to call him wasn't a bad caretaker either.

They were an odd pair, to look at them perhaps but... they weren't really the type to care much for such things.]

[inspiteful]

[ If Skylark was being honest (and less prideful), he wasn't so much playing dead as he was probably actually in the midst of refusing to just die despite all factors working against him. He's just a weak, soft bird, after all. When he couldn't get up, he had figured that this was it. This was the end of the line for him. What a miserable way to go.

He hadn't expected to be rescued, especially by a vampire of all people. He especially wasn't expecting to be nursed and taken care of, so once he was better he insisted that he'd repay Ritsu somehow. It wasn't like there wasn't much for him to do here, anyway—Skylark soon learnt that Ritsu living alone meant he wasn't always on top of petty things like "household chores", and Skylark had puffed up at the state some of the rooms here were in.

It was easy to fall into a routine, while he learnt about Ritsu's idiosyncrasies. Did all vampires sleep this much? Was this just Ritsu's thing? But he was surprisingly adorable at times, too. He had only ever heard stories about vampires before this, so he guesses he was expecting someone more... intimidated? He supposes?

Hard to be intimidated by the lump in the bed covered in blankets he sees when he walks into Ritsu's room, though. ]

Ritsu, it's already the afternoon. I can't clean your room if you keep sleeping here...
