Is petting me fun?

You would not believe your eyes If ten million fireflies Lit up the world as I fell asleep Indie Hotarumaru from Touken Ranbu

kobizenmaru:

           QUITE THE REQUEST…            Uguisumaru gives a look of absolute bemusement.            The small firefly was taking ADVANTAGE of the            generosity. No matter, the warbler plops a pink            dango dumpling into his mouth, humming in thought.            How sweet.            Honey did sound like an appetizing condiment,            although all the sweets would overwhelm the            bitterness of matcha big time. Not even the matcha-            flavored treats helps balance out the tastes.            “No problem, it seems like we would need to            restock on snacks here anyways~”

“Yoooooosh~ Let’s not delay then~” Hotarumaru chirped in his gentle tone of voice as he got up in a steady yet quick manner, stretching a bit before turning to look at Uguisumaru. In a clear passive-aggressive display of innate impatience, the oodachi used both hands to haul up the tachi entirely off the ground, before walking off to the stores with the other sword in big yet steady steps. 

“If you can’t drink your tea in your current position, I’ll slow down~”

The sound of doors sliding open made him take a step back while he tightly pushed the wrapped lolipop against his chest defensively. His head turns while he speaks in a whine. “You suddenly appear at that?” He really wasn’t one to talk. He did the same exact thing with others. Just mentioning candy was a way to summon Houchou.

“W-well! Don’t you think I’m going to give you this. I worked hard for my candy!”

“I like candy too....” Hotarumaru murmured as he stared at Houchou’s lollipop with a rather focused gaze, despite how lazy his eyes seem to look. Hotaru didn’t really bat an eye when the Toushirou said that he ‘worked hard’ for the candy either, indicating a possible disbelief at the shorter sword’s statement.

“Oooooh? What did you do today?”

[greatswordfirefly]

kobizenmaru:

         SPRINGBIRDS GATHER,            and of course Uguisumaru noticed. The silence            did not go unnoticed, either. Though, he would            much rather something more friendly. It felt like            a contradiction in a sense, to be so close yet            have your back to them. Third, the thievery.            It shouldn’t be so bad to peck a bit at the firefly.            “Would you like a drink with those snacks of yours?”            An obvious nod to the depleting snacks.

Oh, so Uguisumaru did know that Hotarumaru had been sneakingly picking off the snacks that the warbler had bought? The firefly wasn’t the sort to play innocent, so he decided to just go all out with the offer that the taller blade had offered him. “Well, I’d like some milk~ And maybe more snacks too~ Do you think some honey would be nice as well to dip the snacks in~?”

Hotaru has a really sweet tooth, and he is not subtle about it. Besides, getting up to go look for more snacks with Ugu would definitely keep the great sword from dozing off on the job.

He triumphantly held his lollipop in the air. “I learned the best way to get some candy!” Houchou chirped happily. He got to see a pretty lady plus land something sweet to eat! Today was a very good day for the tantou. 

Originally oversleeping the citadel’s allotted waking hours by five hours until it was noon, hearing talk of candy outside his room was enough to make Hotarumaru jump out of bed and look outside to investigate, finding Houchou with a lollipop outside. “What about candy?”

[greatswordfirefly]

kobizenmaru:

           THE HANAMI.            This was the time of year Uguisumaru was MOST            anticipating. Like the springbirds enjoying the blooms            of the year, they would gather for a party. The floral            scent is sweet as he remembers. Maybe it was more            thanks to the many snacks and drinks he bought from            the local shop which somehow incorporated sakura            into the flavors.            “Like this, I feel like I am in my TRUE ELEMENT. We            gather to view beautiful scenery in an age-old occasion            while enjoying the modern world’s inventions to make            the event all more satisfying.”

Hotarumaru wasn’t going to bother Uguisumaru, even if the reason the two swords were here in the Hanami in the first place was due to the saniwa’s concern over signs of Revisionist activity during this era in this area. Not that the firefly didn’t care about the mission or anything, but the warbler did look pretty blissful in his ‘true element’, so the nice bug didn’t want to disturb the resting bird.

The oodachi instead just sat with his back against the tachi’s back, quietly falling into a state of total tranquility that made birds and small animals rest on the little sword. The only signs of activity he made was to pocket some snacks the other brought once every few minutes.

Silently pets the other.

“Is petting me fuuuuun? Maybe I should pet myself sometime, but I’d shriiiiiink....“

     “Sure thing!” Takes out one of the dango, “Here, aah~~”

“Aaaaaaaaah~”

*Om-nom~* 

“Uuuuuuuu~”

[greatswordfirefly]

unmotivatedblade:

     “Of course!! But- er… Don’t stuff them into Kunitoshi’s mouth while he’s       sleepin’, ‘kay? What if he chokes?”

“Aw, okies....” Hotaru takes out a box of dangos and puts it in Akashi’s hands. “Can you feed me theeeeen~?”

[greatswordfirefly]

unmotivatedblade:

     “I did! I ate them until I couldn’t eat anymore! You guys did a great job!”

“Yaaaaaay~ Does that mean me and Ai-nii can eat the rest nowwww~? I can’t wait to stuff dangos into Ai-nii’s mouth while he’s sleeeeeping after all that running~”

[greatswordfirefly]

unmotivatedblade:

     “Hotarumaruuuu~~~”

“Aka-niiii, you seem more lively then usualllll~ Did you finally eat all those dangos me and Ai-nii had hunted dowwwwwn~?”

[greatswordfirefly]

@unmotivatedblade

“Aka-nii~”

[blackgrimoire]

This was certainly a strange kid. He wouldn’t argue as his hand was swatted aside, but he had to wonder if the other was serious about that “becoming shorter” thing. But, he did certainly know the woes of being short. Thus, he would bend down just a little, letting Hotarumaru’s hand move from the fringes of his hair to the top of his head; if the boy had kept his hand where it was.

“Uh, sure. I have no clue where a “Mt. Aso” is, though… But anyway, what’s with your clothes, anyway? Looks like some kinda uniform, almost.”

[greatswordfirefly]

Hotarumaru was pretty happy to be able to pat this new person on the head lots, since doing so always made him feel a bit taller, in a sense. So he kept patting this person in a rather eager manner, with a firm hand going up and down on the other’s head to create rather audible pats. “Eeeeh? My uniform? It looks neat doesn’t it~?” The oodachi chirped happily at the boy’s compliments.

Hotaru adjusted his hat as he looked at the boy who was bending down a bit for him. “So what about you? Who are you~?” 

[greatswordfirefly]

continued from here, @akumanoken

Hotarumaru really did have nothing to do at the moment, and he would have gone to sleep because of that, if it wasn’t for the sudden flower from the saniwa. “No... can I help then~?” He chirped cheerfully, then his tone dropped noticeably. “Horses are awful though....”

[blackgrimoire]

“Uh… nope. Don’t think so, anyway; I’ve never met you at least.” The boy placed a hand on his head. Ah, what to be more confused about, that he apparently looked like someone else, or that he was being saluted? Definitely not the kind of greeting he was used to. “At… at ease? Who are you anyhow?”

[greatswordfirefly]

Hotarumaru shook the hand that the other placed on his head off his head. “Booooooo. Don’t do that, I’ll become shorter that way....” Hotaru wanted to do the same to the other, but due to his height, even on tip toes, he could only bat the the boy’s hair fringes in front of his face. “I'm Hotarumaru, from the shrine on Mt. Aso~ Tada~! This is what you'd call a "headline-worthy introduction," right~?” 

[greatswordfirefly]

@blackgrimoire owo/

Hotarumaru looked at the strange-looking boy rather curiously before giving a salute as a form of greetings. “Helloooooo~ You look like someone I know... but do I know you?” He inquired curiously. 

[taroudachi-deactivated20180709]

FIELDWORK was one of the easier tasks, Taroutachi observed, especially since there were no moody horses or ceilings to bump into. Plants suited him–quiet and calm, easy to manage. Therefore, the taller sword took Hotarumaru’s words with a smile.

“Have they grown that much already?”

“All right, then. Let’s go.”

He leads the way out of the door, stopping by a shed to pick up the necessary tools before offering them to Hotarumaru. 

“Here, a spade for you. You’re strong enough as well, Hotarumaru.”

[greatswordfirefly]

“Yeah they have~ I wish I could grow like them~”

Hotarumaru liked fieldwork a lot, since plants are easier to manage as compared to horses, and the work isn’t too labor intensive (for him), so he was always eager whenever the saniwa assigned him to the job. 

“Yay~ To work we go~” 

He chirped happily as he followed close behind Tarou while the other went to the toolshed to get tools. He eagerly took the spade when the other gave it to him, even spinning it around as though it were a baton. 

“I know I’m strong~ Give me all the tools that you’ve got~ Rawr~” He chuckled at Tarou before turning to the fields, still spinning the spade with one hand while doing so to show his excitement.
