Fuzz pants..?

[it’s hard to not hide the surprise on his face. he’s not quite sure what he’d been expecting minato to say but it wasn’t that. it was…very cute. and slightly appropriate] I like it. I do want to make one very little amendment, though… Fuzzy pants.

[oh good, yu does like it. he felt a bit embarrassed when he said it out loud, so he’s relieved. he nods] fuzzy pants...it’s decided.

[he sets the jar back down and picks up his cup of coffee for a toast] to your new son.

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

[when he looks over at minato, he’s looking down and yu tilts his head slightly to the side. he super wants to kiss him again but decides against it since he knows that they’ll just end up forgetting about their shrine date if he does. so he just lifts both of their hands a presses a kiss against the back of minato’s hand instead]

I love you too. [he falls silent for the rest of their walk, mostly out of getting distracted by how pretty minato is and how much he’s in love with him. it’s a good thing that they were already so close to the shrine because it doesn’t give him enough time to get lost in minato’s eyes again

the shrine is the same as he remembers. he wonders if there’s a fake version of the fox somewhere around here] ..Am I allowed to ask what you’re gonna wish for before we even make them?

[he glances over at their hands and smiles as yu kisses his. he looks back down at the ground the rest of the way.

when they finally make it to the shrine, he takes a second to take the area in. aside from some leaves rustling and a cricket or two nearby, it’s dead quiet. peaceful]

mmm... [he thinks for a second, not actually sure what to wish for yet. a few ideas have crossed his mind, but he decides he’ll chose one when the time comes] think i’ll wait ‘til we make ‘em, yeah... [he walks toward the shrine, tugging yu along] you ready, then..?

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

A name..? Hmm.. [he leans slightly into minato’s touch, picking up the jar carefully once again to get a better look at it. he’s..never named a plant before. or anything really. he doesn’t even give names to any of the cats he feeds. he doesn’t quite have any ideas. moss is hard to name in general]

What do you think would be good? [he scoots Even Closer. or tries to anyways, putting the jar back on the table but more inbetween the both of them as if being able to get a better look of it’ll give minato some better name idea] I’m coming up kind of dry here.

umm.... [he stares at the moss ball for a moment in silence. he’s...not sure what to call it, either. he reaches a hand out and tilts the jar Very Carefully to get a better view of it]

...fuzz...pants...

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

Mm..I think you’ve mentioned it a few times, yeah… [he keeps holding close to minato for a few more moments because he very much doesn’t want to pull away either. if only hugs Could last forever

when he does pull away he takes minato’s hand once again, threading their fingers and giving his hand a tight squeeze. it’s no where near as good as the hug but it’ll do for right now] ..Me neither. But it kind of distracted us from our shrine date. [he looks around a little and tugs gently at minato’s arm] We’re almost there too. Don’t let my good looks distract you too much, okay?

good....as long as you know.

no promises... [he squeezes yu’s hand back and swings it a bit as they start to walk again. he looks up at him and quietly studies his face. how nice his hair looks in the sun. yu was just joking, but he did get distracted. just a little.

he looks back down at the ground] ...i love you...just sayin’.

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

Of course, I like it. You made it for me. [he wonders if minato knew that he liked plants and greens in general. it’s not something he’s particularly outspoken about but maybe the garden at the side of the house had been a good hint since he doesn’t think he’d ever said anything about it personally. he turns to look back at the jar, smiling softly]

I like the decorations too. It’s very cute. [he hopes that if they get out of here he’s able to take it with him. if he’s gonna be living back in tokyo with his parents again soon it’d be a good decoration for his room] It’s a win-win. I get a meaningful decoration from a loved one that can also arguably double as a pet. Kind of. It’s great.

mm...i’m glad. [he holds yu’s arm again and watches him look at the jar. he feels yu did mention liking plants at one point or another, or at the very least reblogged pretty pictures of them. which made sense. plants and the like just seemed very...yu.

he likes cute things, too. moss balls are cute. it just felt right]

...you gonna give it a name...?

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

[when minato places the gift in front of him he gives him a reassuring look, pulling the present slightly closer towards himself. it probably wouldn’t matter what minato got him. it could be literally anything and he’d probably love it. yu expects Nothing but minato gives him everything constantly.

he takes his advice in being careful opening the present. he’s overly careful in fact, very slowly opening up the paper in a way where it isn’t being torn at all. after a few minutes of Careful Unwrapping he sees the jar and picks it up, staring at it and studying it for a moment. he loves it. Obviously. he sets it down gently, overly careful Once Again. before going in to give minato another tender kiss]

[he just sits there and watches yu unwrap the gift. god. it only takes yu a few minutes, but minato’s anxiousness makes it feel like hours. when yu finally gets it open, he continues to stare, wondering what he’s thinking. he instantly feels a bit of relief when yu moves in and gives him another kiss.

after a beat, he pulls away to look at him] you like it...?

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

[okay that voice crack was very cute and yu can’t quite stop himself from having a laugh. not so much at minato’s voice crack being funny but because minato is cute. and he’s gay. and he’s getting a little sweaty.

because he’s gay.

he gives minato a very tight hug, picking him slightly up off the ground as he does, pressing a kiss against the side of his head] Do you know how cute you are? You’re really cute.

mmmmhhhggg...... [he nuzzles his face further against yu’s shoulder after the hug and kiss] you’re cute...did you know that?

[he sighs and hugs yu back, going quiet for a bit. he is So warm. if they could hug forever like this, he’d be down for that] ...i don’t even remember what we were talking about.

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

[oh minato actually called him boyfriend. he blushes a little and blushes A Little More when he gets right up in his face. how bold…..]

I mean….I do live here. [he leans down slightly to close that distance for a moment with a quick kiss] I should be the one asking you that question.

ah...well...maybe i’m here to see you-- [his voice cracks as he says this. he turns red and buries his face in yu’s shoulder, holding back another fit of laughter at his own expense] oh my god...

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

[he thinks that his favorite part of being in love is moments like these. where he can just focus entirely on how much he loves feeling in love. and looking at the person he loves. on the way the world just kind of stops existing for a little while and everything feels very infinite.

time kinda slips away from him and he’s not sure how much time actually passed between them staring at each other and then kissing each other but they’re aren’t anymore] Huh..? [it takes a few beats for his brain to start working regularly again. oh yeah. they were doing christmas. right] O-oh. Yeah. Sounds good.

[..he doesn’t really wanna pull away, though. not yet anyways. he gives minato another quick kiss and pats his cheeks gently before dropping his hands back down]

[yu being flustered only makes minato Even More flustered. he turns a lil red and reluctantly pulls away to get up and run upstairs. he walks back down a lot slower than he went up...it’s his turn to be worried about his gift now. the gift is wrapped in star-patterned wrapping paper, and despite it being kinda messy, the effort is there. there’s a nice lil bow on top and a tag that has a heart drawn on it. spoiler alert, the gift is a marimo moss ball in a cute lil round jar, rocks and other decorations already set up in it.

he sits back down next to yu and sets it down on the table in front of him] be careful opening it...um...it’s no promise ring or anything, but...i thought you’d like it.

[benignbancho]

blueskulls‌:

yeah, i’d like that, too… it’s…kinda hard to imagine, though. like… [he holds out his free hand to yu for a Nice Handshake] hello, presumably normal person with no powers or weapons, i’m minato arisato. what’s your name?

Pfft. [are they larping out a regular meeting now? he stops midwalk and takes minato’s other hand but rather than shaking it he just holds it as tenderly as he’s holding his other hand] That’s a beautiful name…

You can call me Boyfriend Material. [he tries very hard to keep up the act but that was a really dumb thing he just said so he can’t stop himself from laughing out of embarrassment]

[blueskulls]

[he bursts out laughing when yu does, and it takes everything to regain his composure afterwards] th-the pleasure's all mine...boyfriend...

[he steps in reaaaaal close] so..................................you come here often?

[benignbancho]

blueskulls‌:

[he just hums, not looking up from their hands. he’s…incredibly tender. he feels kinda bad, though. his own gift for yu isn’t quite as romantic. he closes his eyes for a moment as he thinks about this, and also about how warm yu is]

…you made these? [he says this softly, but with feeling] th-that’s…wow. how’d you do it…?

It…wasn’t that hard. Or impressive. [he hopes that the modesty doesn’t come off as…something. the world fails his head right now but he isn’t trying to seem better than he is by it. maybe it’s silly. minato isn’t the type to assume like that and he knows it] You can find easy tutorials to find you just need to have the tools to make them.

..I had to use the tools at the blacksmith to actually do it. Making the shape of the rings was easy. The engraving was the hard part. [he focuses on minato’s touch to ground him and pull him out of his slightly anxious thoughts. he doesn’t quite want to move his hand from minato’s but he does so he can cup his face gently. he might look into his eyes for a little too long but he can’t help himself. minato has pretty eyes] I love you.

[blueskulls]

yeah...? [he does figure yu's just being modest. really modest. maybe making rings is easier than it looks, but he can't help but doubt it. it still seems super hard, is all] well, they're still...incredible...they look like they're made by a professional.

[he stares right back into yu's eyes, and when he feels the need to blink, he does it very slowly. he swears he feels like he's in a romance movie or something] i love you, too. so much...

[he closes the gap between them and kisses him deeply for what feels like an eternity. when he pulls away, he hesitates before breaking the silence] ...i...uh...can give you my gift now...if you want...

[benignbancho]

blueskulls‌:

you better…just kidding. [he squeezes yu’s hand back] but still. i wouldn’t mind making up for lost time…

[he inches closer so they brush arms as they walk] things are probably gonna be crazy when we meet again, huh…? they always are.

[minato might be just kidding but yu kind of isn’t. he would very gladly do everything in his power to attempt to make up for 2 lost years on minato’s part. if he remembers it anyways]

Mm…that’s just being a persona user, I think. I’m fine with crazy if it means I get to meet you again, though. [the brushing of their arms feels nice. being so close to minato like that never fails to make him feel so…nice. love is such a ridiculously powerful thing] ..It’d be nice to meet you in a non-chaotic situation, though. Like…a regular couple.

[blueskulls]

yeah, i'd like that, too... it's...kinda hard to imagine, though. like... [he holds out his free hand to yu for a Nice Handshake] hello, presumably normal person with no powers or weapons, i'm minato arisato. what's your name?

[blueskulls]

 benignbancho‌:

[he visibly relaxes a little when minato speaks. maybe it was just a little silly of him to be so worried about it but hey. that’s anxiety baby. his face reddens at minato’s words and at the gentle touches he leaves on his hands]

I’m glad. I was worried it was a little tacky. And also maybe too much. [he laughs a little, pressing his face against the top of minato’s head. again.] They’re promise rings. That was probably obvious but. Yeah.

[he falls a little quiet, taking in relaxed breathes. minato smells nice. that’s a little weird of a thought to have out of nowhere but he sure is having it] ᴵ…ᵐᵃᵈᵉ ᵗʰᵉᵐ ᵐʸˢᵉˡᶠ.

[he just hums, not looking up from their hands. he’s...incredibly tender. he feels kinda bad, though. his own gift for yu isn’t quite as romantic. he closes his eyes for a moment as he thinks about this, and also about how warm yu is]

...you made these? [he says this softly, but with feeling] th-that’s...wow. how’d you do it...?

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

True but…still. [he gives minato’s hand another little comforting squeeze. it’s a little easy to tell minato’s upset about it as well] S’not gonna stop me from feeling bad that I won’t get to be there for you…

I’ll just have to make up for it when we get back together again. [he smiles a little. his tone might have a bit of a joking edge to it but he’s very serious]

you better...just kidding. [he squeezes yu’s hand back] but still. i wouldn’t mind making up for lost time...

[he inches closer so they brush arms as they walk] things are probably gonna be crazy when we meet again, huh...? they always are.

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

[when minato sticks his hand out Immediately, he has a very brief moment of worry that maybe he knows what the gift is already but he’s able to quell that moment of anxiety pretty quickly. that was dumb.

he takes a deep breath to relax himself before pulling away to dig through his pockets, and pulling out two little silver rings. he puts one, one with a little sun engraved on it, on his own finger first before flipping minato’s hand over and putting the matching ring with a crescent moon on his finger] Um. Okay.

[he raises an eyebrow, keeping his eyes closed as he feels yu slip a ring on his finger. some kind of promise ring, maybe...? ah. he can feel his face go a bit red at the thought.

he opens his eyes at yu’s word and looks down at his hand. a moon...he doesn’t usually wear jewelry, but this feels like something he’d pick out for himself. he looks at yu’s hand and holds it, gently turning it to get a good look at his ring. he smiles at the sun engraved into it]

...they’re perfect... [he rubs yu’s hand with his thumb and leans his head against his shoulder again] ...i love ‘em...

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

I’m glad too. [he…already has a good idea that he’ll be inviting minato over a lot to help quell any loneliness after they meet again. it’d be a lie if he said he wasn’t already having fantasies of passive aggressive secret rebellion in the shape of making out with a boy in his parents apartment.

he kinda hopes that that’s how they get back together. just a little bit. he smiles a little and bumps back against minato teasingly, lifting their hands a pressing a kiss to his knuckles] I wish I could be there for you in between all that, though. Or at least with what you and your group is gonna be going through when you get back..

yeah... [he glances down at the ground. the note future him left behind about ikutsuki’s betrayal...he has no idea how he'll get through all of that. and honestly? he could probably use yu’s company even before the worst of it comes. it goes without saying that minato needs some love and comfort from time to time.

he looks back up at yu] ‘s okay though. as long as we get together eventually...

[blueskulls]

benignbancho‌:

Doesn’t matter too much to me. [the more he thinks about what he got minato the less confident he feels in his present choice, really. it simultaneously feels like both a Lot and not enough at the same time and starting to worry and think about it gets him a little flustered]

I’ve got mine on me if you want me to go first. If it’d be easier. You just have to close your eyes first.

[he gives yu a curious look, wondering what it is. on him...? something that fits in a pocket? well, it’d probably be easier since he hid his gift for yu. he holds a hand out and closes his eyes]

‘kay...
