Gravity’s Pull [Uruha&Nova]

nova-ia​:

The branch beneath him swayed with each step the giant took, Uruha’s hand and Nova’s balance the only thing that their lives were clinging too. He’d had moments like this before, putting his entire existence on the line for one shot that could take it all down, he had to steady his breathing, pretend like he wasn’t about to mess his pants in fear, more so of losing Uruha then dying all over again.

Pure adrenaline was surging through him, the bow was steady in his hands. His body felt like it was vibrating at a frequency not yet known to man or supernatural, but his hands were stern. Nova rocked his shoulders back, his boyish face melting into a piercing stare and furrowed brows. Eyes glowing in focus as his chest heaved. That was when the whole world slowed, seconds became minutes and minutes became hours to him as he honed directly on the target. Elbows up, relaxed, though the feeling of wanting to protect the other elf was powerful, tingles running through his bones, for a moment, he had to ignore it. 

He leaned into Uruha a bit, drawing the string of his bow back with a strong jaw, the head of the arrow lined directly with the pupil of the approaching giants eye. 

Another deep breath, “Now.” 

He spoke sternly to his friend, he trusted Uruha not even waiting for his distracting before releasing the arrow, To Nova it drifted through air at a slow pace, eyes watching directly as it ripped elegantly through the sky for what felt like an eternity, before finally piercing through the giant’s eye and head with a disgusting sound. In reality it was merely a second, the arrow whizzed through the tree line at a speed that he didn’t dare think to calculate. The moment going by in the blink of an eye.

This was absolutely terrifying, there was no doubt about that. However, as Uruha’s wide eyes turned to look at the other elf and he saw the hard look on his face, the determination and focus there, how he seemed able to master his fear and steady his hands; something in that look seemed to take hold of Uruha’s heart and steady it as well. It was what he imagined resting in the eye of a storm must be like - a small oasis amidst the chaos.

This calm let him catch what felt like the first deep breath he had taken since his misadventure started, and he clenched his jaw, pulling his gaze away from Nova and focusing in on the giant. He could not mess this up for them; Nova was doing all he could, he had to do the same. Somehow, the task seemed a little less daunting with this steady presence next to him.

When that stern command was dealt Uruha reacted immediately, sending as thick of a wall as he could manage in front of the giant - making sure to keep the way to the eye clear, of course. It was not terrible strong, but it was enough; that moment of distraction was enough for the arrow to hit its target with a sound that Uruha was never going to forget, and it sent the creature lifelessly to the ground, the force of the body hitting the earth enough to make the trees around them tremble. Yet, still there they stood.

“Oh... We... We did it?” Uruha breathed, fingers somehow curling into Nova’s shirt even more tightly than they already had been. “Oh my god,” he gasped, bringing his free hand to his chest and slumping against the other. The adrenaline was starting to drain away, and he shivered a little, the reality of just how close he had come to death starting to hit him. If it had not been for Nova... “Where on earth did you come from?”

Kiran watched the other closely, eyes fixed on his features before moving to look over his movements — it was a habit of hers, one that wouldn’t die until she died herself. She simply nodded her head, her eyes remaining glued to his own as a sign to show him that she was listening to everything that he had to say, and in fact she truly was listening. “Uruha..” she smiled “am I saying it correctly?” — she wanted to make sure, just in case she was saying it differently she always double checked and made sure so that way she would always be addressing someone correctly. “Oh a month? That’s not too bad at all.” — she spoke gently, humming a bit as she thought of what to really say next to his question.

“Well.. I want to harness my abilities a little better.. see I’m a healer... and I want to be able to use it to my fullest ability and to help others who need my help” she nodded her head once, smiling again at him. “But.. I too was curious and hoped to find others who were like me and were open to talking about things such as that with me too..” she admitted.

Introductions; Uruha & Kiran ||*

kiran-ia​:

“I have been told this once before a few times in my life, though in my younger days” she spoke as if she were an old being that had an unknown age about her — however, she was simply an old soul who was young of flesh. She never thought it to be a downfall, never in a million years — however she always kept that thought lingering in the back of her mind because she was still a little naive of the world and the people who inhabited it. She couldn’t help but to smile and nodded her head a couple of times in agreement with his own words “I agree with you.. I would rather choose kindness and caring any day over anything else”

Her smile remained, eyes somewhat turned into crescent shapes as she looked to him “I am very hopeful I will find my place here” — she nodded, beaming a bit as she felt slightly happy in the moment. “Then I hope to learn more about you, friend” Kiran smiled, she was actually quite happy to have made a friend so easily. It was nice, truly. It warmed her soul. “What other classes do you have, if you don’t mind me asking?”

This young lady was so kind, Uruha could not help but to relax a little the more they spoke. He was not necessarily shy, however he was aware he could be a bit awkward. He knew he sometimes said odd things that he did not realize were odd until later, and occasionally this made holding conversations a bit difficult. This girl made it seem like she would not mind his oddities though, and it was quite a nice feeling to have.

“I would also like to learn more about me. I’ll be sure to update you when I can,” he said with a bit of bemusement, turning to fumble in his bag for a moment and pulling out a paper he had scrawled his list of classes onto - as well as the room numbers and times. Writing it all down had been a must, because even though he had been here a while, he still sometimes forgot the times. “Let’s see... Besides Astronomy, I do Astrology, Archery, Self defense for light creatures, Music, and Korean... Korean II, to be more precise,” he listed neatly, nodding to himself and tucking the paper away again.

kiran-ia​:

Kiran felt a small tinge of happiness boost through her soul, ng full well it was probably silly to be happy over pronouncing ones name correctly — but she was. Dark brown hues scanned over the other as she continued to listen, making him fully aware that she was indeed paying attention to everything he had to say and taking it all in so she could store it for future reference just in case a friendship would ensue, which she hoped would. “Healing with the stars? That’s so intriguing..” she smiled, nodding. “I like to treat others how I too would like to be treated.. I care a little too much sometimes for any and all beings… I’ve been told it would be my great downfall one day” she sighed a bit before looking away, “if that’s the case though, then so be it.”

His smile though, the moment she caught sight of it she couldn’t help but to mimic. “Life can be awfully lonely whenever you don’t have anyone.. I know that far too well” — she admitted. “I’m still a bit lonely.. but I’m trying my best to find my place here”

“Caring too much can be a downfall?” Uruha echoed, head tilting slightly in thought, his gaze drifting as he pondered this concept. He could not imagine how caring could be a bad thing, but perhaps that was simply him being naive. Especially considering he had not had someone to deeply care for in... Well, a long time. “Well, either way. I think if that is a downfall than it is an honorable one,” he mused.

After a moment he blinked and pulled his gaze back to her, remembering his own manners. “I am certain you will find your place, and many people. I am still myself remembering how to be a good friend, but I am happy to try to be one. Any friend of the Stars is a friend of mine,” he said firmly. She was in Astronomy class, that was good enough for him.

Gravity’s Pull [Uruha&Nova]

nova-ia​:

The surge that went through Nova’s body when their fingers interlocked almost knocked the air from his lungs. They burned and struggled to draw in new breath, overwhelmed by the feeling that pulsated through him. Did Uruha feel this too? It was almost painful, touching him was overwhelming and the panic of losing him to this beast was almost disorienting.

“Make it quick,” He huffed at the other’s words eyes trained on the giant as it tromped towards him. His body was vibrating, this was a fear he hadn’t felt running from villagers in the forests. Nova only feared the fight with them, not his life. There were rare moments where he feared his life was going to end again and this was one of them. His heart was beating in his chest so hard he felt like it was what was drawing the giant near. The sound of ice forming up the tree pulled him out of his fear induced trance, mix-matched eyes flickering to the other elf scrambling up the tree.

Nova took his hand quickly, using most of the other’s strength to help him up the ladder. As Uruha produced a small distraction, the snow haired elf climbed higher in the leaning branches, only taking short moments to steady himself, as he got higher and higher. It was only when he’d reached the top that he hunkered down, pulling his bow from his back and snatching out and arrow. He pursed his lips blowing onto the tip of the arrow with cool air to form an iced capsule around the head. He drew back, aiming at the giant as it gathered it’s bearings. All he needed was two arrows if this all went according to plan.

“Uruha, when I say now, I need you to try to block his path, can you do that for me?”

Uruha let out a huff of relief when Nova managed to make it up the tree with him, and he placed a steadying hand on the other’s back to keep him in place when  his hands became full with the bow and arrow. Uruha had felt that same surge as well, but at this point between his own fear and whatever this was it was a bit too much chaos to try and figure out what was what.

It did not help that Uruha had never feared for his life like he did right now, nor anyone else’s. Perhaps Before he had, but the memory was so vague, nothing like this surge of adrenaline, fear, pain... He felt a bit in shock. It was hard to pinpoint what to feel, what was happening in his mind and in his heart. Later he knew, when he had to sit down and really think, maybe he could try and figure out what all of this was, process what he was feeling. Right now though? Everything was just a jumble.

The knock to the noggin certainly had not helped.

Even so, he was not too befuddled to listen to Nova’s request and he swallowed hard and nodded, his fingers digging harshly into the bark of the tree with the hand that was not still solid against his friend. “I will do my best,” he promised in a hushed whisper, focusing a hard gaze on the lumbering giant. It would not be the strongest thing at this distance, but it should give them some time. “I am ready when you are.”

Kiran watched the other closely, eyes fixed on his features before moving to look over his movements — it was a habit of hers, one that wouldn’t die until she died herself.

[uruha-ia]

“Yes, that is correct,” Uruha assured her, nodding once, firmly. “Oh, you are a healer! That is fascinating. I am able to heal myself with the help of the Stars, but I’ve not a clue how some people would go about doing it to other people. That sounds like a very noble calling though, you must be very kind.”

Then, the yearning to find someone similar... He smiled gently, almost wistfully, his gaze straying to one of the many celestial posters that were posted, scattered about the room. “I came here for a similar reason. Not the healing aspect of it, but wanting to find someone similar to me and connect. Life was awfully lonely before.”

[uruha-ia]

Carpe Diem || Uruha & Jinki​

jinki-ia​:

Jinki smiled as he listened to the other, he liked listening to him speak. Talk about himself. The shigofumi enjoyed learning about other creatures, all he knew of were himself and others like him. “That is so amazing! I wish I had powers like yours, mines are nothing compared to yours. I just go around giving letters to the dead. Not as impress-” As the elder spoke his eyes traveled up, his gaze landing on the words only a shigofumi could see. His powers weren’t too complex but they gave him the sight to see the information of others. Name, birthdate, hopes but right now what surprised him…date of death and a long with that a count down. 10 hours. He’s never seen something jump down so quickly, his eyes widen and his steps faltered. No not Uruha. 

The look of confusion that the celestial elf’s face had Jinki clear his throat and plaster a smile back on his face. “Oh sorry I thought I was getting called back to the underworld” He chuckled dryly, his mind going a mile a minute. What is he he supposed to do? He’s can’t interfere with the lifespand of others but he can’t just not do anything. “But don’t worry I’m all yours for the day” The shigofumi added with a wiggle of his eyebrows to hopefully further convince his friend. He needed to think of something and think of it quick. 

@uruha-ia​

Uruha could never understand how the shigofumi could talk so casually of his powers, cause letters to the dead?! That just seemed otherworldly! He was about to argue as such, but the way his friend faltered had him glancing over with raised brows, a questioning look in his gaze. However, he bought Jinki’s explanation easily and his happy smile returned, totally unaware of the way his fate had just so drastically changed.

“Good! I’d be so bummed if you had to run off already, I’d have to go down there with you and fight someone,” he said in a fake-stern voice. “Especially cause, we just got here~”

They had been teasing the perimeter of the park before, but now they stepped through the entrance. It was nowhere near as bustling and cheerful as it had been before the war began, but there were a couple people milling about, and it was still beautiful; the plants were vibrant, and the water was clear. And, of course, the main attraction- “There they are! The ducks!” Uruha chirped happily, dragging Jinki forward to the water’s edge. 

Out of his pockets he pulled a couple handfuls of greens - mainly a couple weeds and wildflowers - he had picked himself on the walk to meet Jinki, and he handed half to him. “I used to give them rice, but there isn’t even enough for us nowadays. Thankfully they seem to like the plants well enough though.” As soon as he tossed a couple into the water the ducks - as well as a whole slew of babies - came paddling through the water towards them. “They’re so cute, right~”

[uruha-ia]

Gravity’s Pull [Uruha&Nova]

nova-ia​:

“Uruha if you can hear me I really, fudge I really need, I need you to get up please,” tears had began to collect in his eyes, a strong sense of pain twinging in his chest as he feared the worst for his friend. It took a moment, Nova fearing their impending doom but even more so how hurt Uruha was at the moment, it wasn’t until the celestial elf finally opened his eyes fully, the tiny slits finally erupting into full orbs and pupils.

“Oh thank gods,” Nova choked out breathlessly, standing as the other stood with him. He took his hand, lacing their fingers together that sent a wave of emotion through the snow haired elf’s body, he wanted to chalk it up to relief, a dear friend being sound if not safe, but this was stronger, something that made his lungs ache as he ran.

He wasn’t sure what to do, the only way they were going to get away was if Nova took the beast down, but he couldn’t do it in such close range. The feeling of the tug on his sleeves also tugged as his heart, he had to get them both out of here safely, but most importantly Uruha,. Nova had never been the type to sacrifice himself. He’d spent three years of his life surviving for him and only him no matter who it hurt, killed or left alone. But this was a different feeling, his urge to protect Uruha was an aching panic, like a mother trying to protect her child, no matter the outcome, the child had to be protected.

Nova didn’t answer Uruha at first, just slowly backing away with the other elf assessing their situation. He needed a clear shot, that’s all, no matter how shaky the situation was, all he needed was some sort of shot, but he needed to by them time. And this giant had slowed his pace, his steps large booms in pulsing intervals and less of a bound towards them.  He was trying to bate them into thinking he was losing his chase but Nova wasn’t dumb, he’d been in many situations like this.

“We need high ground.” He finally uttered, looking around their surroundings, the hill in the distance was too far, too far and too open, he’d see Nova aiming and come straight for them. Come on Nova think, he mulled over in his head, mix-matched eyes darting around the tree line. Bingo. There was a tree a little ways away that if he could get them both into it, they’d be golden.

“Can you climb a tree? It doesn’t matter you’re going to have to.” He said with a slight chuckle, pulling him along by his wrist to his target. “I can handle this Uruha, I just need you up there and safe. Okay?”

There was quite a war going on within Uruha at this moment; as happy as the celestial elf was to see Nova, he was quickly realizing that now not only was he in danger, but the other was as well. The realization left him even more breathlessly scared than the danger to his own life had, for a reason he did not have time to try and understand at the moment. All he knew was that if any harm came to Nova because of him, he would not be able to live with himself after this day. Just the thought made him twist his arm to loosen Nova’s grip on his wrist, only to thread his fingers through his and hold his hand tight once more instead. If they stayed together, they would be okay, he was certain.

But, well, it was really too late to turn back now, so he did his best to shove these fears aside and try to focus on the task at hand; mainly, getting into this tree, apparently. “One moment,” he murmured, touching the tree. Finally, something he could be helpful with! With a quick flash of magic, small “rungs” of ice appeared on the tree like a ladder, giving them a quick route to a sturdy looking branch at a decent height. Uruha could climb trees decently enough, but he didn’t trust his ability to do so quickly, as agility was not a strong suit; especially not when the giant seemed to sense they were up to something and was beginning to stomp forward with a bit more energy, picking up speed.

Uruha scrambled up more swiftly than he had ever scaled anything before and immediately turned as he reached a sturdy branch, holding out his hand towards Nova to try and help him up as well. “Come on!” he said breathlessly, wide eyes flicking back up towards the tottering giant. Oh gods, it freaked him out, the way the thing was looking at them - he threw his other hand out with another weak surge of magic, making a small burst of snow and ice appear in front of the giant’s eye, only for it to run into it. The effort nearly made him fall out of his branch, but he steadied himself and the risk was worth it. The sting was enough to make the giant pause and squeeze its eye shut for a moment, rubbing at its face angrily. It would not stop it for long, but every moment counted.

[uruha-ia]

Gravity’s Pull [Uruha&Nova]

nova-ia​:

The elf sat stationed in his little stool, his canvas fashioned in front of him as he gently rocked the cart full of his supplies back and forth in thought. He wasn’t quite sure what he wanted to paint, just needed to release something for once. He let his eyes fall shut, the gentle squeak of the wheels against the floor serving as the background music to his thoughts.

He’d began to work at it after sometime, overalls covered in eraser residue and rogue water color droplets, reminiscent to most of his clothing that he didn’t wear to class. He let his mind wander, going on an adventure with each stroke of his brush. The masterpiece was darker this time, tall ominous trees against the blackness of the night, dense and overbearing so much so that the moon feared to shin through. Nova had spent many nights in woods like this, cowering in fear, dark, damp and alone chasing what seemed like myth in his mind.

Consumed by the quietness he found himself hitting the canvas with violent strokes, paint going from delicate splatters on his skin to globs falling every which way, Nova abandoning all cleanliness, which he was sure Beomgyu wouldn’t be to happy about. He made a mental note to clean it up before he went on to do something else.

But as he was starting to be encapsulated by the darkness he’d created, his sense of serene and comfortableness quickly had fallen away. Panic had began to sit in his lungs, settling and hardening like concrete making his chest feel heavy. What….happened? What had interrupted his only moment of comfortably since he’d arrived at  his room. It was only getting worse, Nova standing to his feet and knocking his stool over as he stumbled back from the painting. Why did he feel like he was in danger? His flight or fight instincts were pulsing through his veins, what was going on? An more importantly, why did he want to find Uruha to figure it out.

As if on instinct Nova tore his room apart looking for his bow, a pretty thing designed by Father and fashioned by a famous blacksmith in his village. He’d slung his arrow holder on his back and ran for the door. He had to find Uruha, he felt like he was the only one who could help with this feeling. It burned almost, any other time Nova felt like he was overwhelmed with the terror of this new world he run for Wenhan, so why was he sprinting through trees and brush now? Not running for Uruha’s dorm or the former’s job. The panic in his chest grew, forcing him to snap his head in all directions as if enemies were surrounding him. The ground was rumbling beneath his feet and Nova’s breath hitched in his chest.

Giant.

The last time Nova had went against one of these creatures he’d almost lost a limb. He’d been confined to a cave deep in the forest with a leg so broken that he thought he’d have to amputate it. His hands trembled and shook, and his urge to find Uruha grew, even as the creature stomped way above the trees. Nova couldn’t let him get close, he was a goner if he did so and that monster was trekking through the forest with determination in it’s eyes.

Uruha, Uruha, Uruha, his brain wouldn’t shut up what did that even mean? Why did Uruha matter in this moment? Why could Nova only think of him as he hopped from stone to stone, trying to stay un-scene in a foreign battle field.

His mind was answered by a pair of familiar shoes, settled on the ground, laid out in a position that struck fear into the celestial elves heart. “Uruha.” He whispered quietly, eyes flickering between his friends feet, and the impending doom that trampled the trees around him. He couldn’t try to get rid of this monster and leave his friend lying on the ground. Nova’s chest heaved, he fought the heaviness in his bones, the fear electrocuting his heart as he took off running, dodging trees and brush to get to the sneakers.

The elf knelt next to his friend, leaning down to tap his face with his hands to force him into alertness. “I need you to get up, I need you to get up right now or we’re both dead.”

While the knock had not quite sent him into unconsciousness, it had made the world go hazy and fuzzy for a few moments; enough so that he did not notice the other elf approach until those firm but gentle hands were tapping on his face, knocking back the fog. He blinked a few times to clear his gaze, finally able to focus on the figure above him - and the sight of Nova, the other celestial elf he had only met a couple days prior, sent a surge of relief through him with such strength it very nearly stole the breath from his lungs once again. The threat of the giant was still there, looming and angry, and he was still very much afraid, but Nova simply being there settled him.

Which was honestly a bit odd. It brought up so many questions for Uruha; how had the other found him? What was he doing here? Well. Another thundering footstep reminded him he did not have any time to dwell on these things now, so he would have to save these questions for later. If they got lucky enough to have a later.

These thoughts tumbled through his head noisily, before Nova’s words really sank in - yes, he needed to get up. He could not be responsible for both of their demise. With a gasp he sat up and then lurched to his feet, staggering for a brief moment before his sense of balance caught up. His ribs ached and head pounded some as he did so, but not so much to keep him from moving - especially with the adrenaline he had surging through his veins.

“What do we do?” he hissed, wide eyes fixed on the creature lumbering towards them. At some point he had gripped Nova’s shirt sleeve and he backed up several steps, pulling the other along with him. Uruha was grateful the other was here, but now he was scared - he was generally okay, but he did not think he could keep running fast enough to stay in front of this monster. He also did not think that the other would leave him, which made him afraid for his life as well; he did not want both of their deaths to be on his hands. The only positive was the fact that the giant had also slowed down, lumbering closer with its gleaming eye fixed on them; he got the distinct impression that it was toying with them, enjoying their fear. But he also did not think it would keep that up for long.

[uruha-ia]

Gravity’s Pull [Uruha&Nova]

Today, Uruha was learning the hard way that staying within the Academy’s borders when wandering was a much safer idea than simply wandering willy-nilly.

Uruha’s restless midnight wanderings had recently been taking him further and further from school grounds, towards the mountains where the ground seemed to stretch up and touch the Starry night sky. It took him into territory that went beyond the strange force field around the Academy, but he did not really worry about it; he had yet to see anything that concerned him creeping around the woods, and being under the Stars always gave him a sense of peace.

Tonight was very peaceful as well, Stars bright in a clear sky and the breeze gentle; at least, it was peaceful, until he accidentally wandered onto the domain of a particularly territorial, giant creature. He had not even noticed at first, where it lay hunkered down among its nest-like shrubbery; not until an angry roar had shaken the ground, branches and twigs crunching and snapping as the angry creature rose itself to its full height, its single eye gleaming at him from the light of the moon. Not that he had much of a chance to take in its features; he was not really sure what the creature was, but when it ripped an entire tree clean from the ground and hurled it at him, it was not hard to figure out that it was not a friendly one.

So, naturally, he ran. His long legs aided him as he bound through the forest, but the underbrush was too thick to really go fast enough, the spindly branches clinging and scratching at his legs. He even attempted a few times to slow it with small walls of ice, but it burst easily through each one, none of his conjuring having the strength to stand up to a charging giant. The elf was getting quite concerned at this point, and his heart was roaring in his ears, beating hard from a mixture of exertion and fear; the only thing that had helped him up to this point was the fact that the projectiles kept getting blocked by standing trees, but he did not know how long his luck would hold out.

As it turned out, the end of his luck came when a particularly hard throw sent a tree careening into his path; he ducked just in time to keep his head squarely on his shoulders, but had to stumble to a halt to avoid slamming into it. He whirled around to face the creature - just in time for a massive to hand to swat him like a bug, sending him flying a few meters away to hit the ground with a heavy thud. It did not knock him unconscious, but he did lay there dazed for quite a few seconds, breath knocked from him and head swirling too fiercely to raise to his feet right away.

Oh, dear. He had really done it this time, hadn’t he?

Playin it not safe || Uruha & Wenhan

wenhan-ia​:

And as they pulled over Wenhan lets out a sigh of relief. The hunter didn’t expect the roads to be in such poor condition or else he would have not risk using his motorcycle. However he tried to remain calm eyeing on the road carefully, and luckily they had managed to get to the bar alive. “Well thank you for trusting me.” he chuckled before taking off his helmet setting it onto one of the handles having him take the helmet away from the other. “Is that your first time being on a motorcycle?” he asked arching a brow as he made sure it set the other helmet down. The hunter was quite curious since the other seem to be nervous. 

And with that they walked into the bar having him slip his hands into his pocket greeting the bartender politely. The hunter had a thing about venturing off and exploring so he knew a couple places that was far from the academy. “Well luckily this will suit your taste.” he said as he sat against the stool. ‘What would these handsome fellas like today during this fine night?’ the bartender asked as he glanced towards Uruha and Wenhan. “Mhm I’ll like an Old Fashioned please. And as Uruha ordered his drink the hunter said he’ll pay for both of their drinks. After all he was the one dragging Uruha to drink with him. 

“It was my first time on a motorcycle, yes. It was scary at first, but quite pleasant when I became used to it! I would love to do it more often.” Actually, it made him think he may like to learn how to drive a motorcycle himself. He had been in need of transportation for a while now. Perhaps a car was better first, though...

“I’ll take a highball,” he ordered, defaulting to the tasty drink he had been recommended by a certain elven bartender at the academy. It had become one of his favorites, no matter which of the slight variations it was that he had tried since then. “An Old Fashioned?” Uruha echoed after the bartender had taken their order, glancing at Wenhan and raising a brow. “What is that? Can I try it?” Another drink to add to his small but growing arsenal of knowledge! This alone made him pleased that he had come out tonight.

It took a long time- what would have been an embarrassingly long time for most people - for Uruha to notice that someone was in his usual spot in Astronomy class. He stopped and stared down at the girl sitting in his usual seat for a moment, his wandering mind finally catching up and taking notice. But as soon as a new face registered he smiled, plopping down in the seat next to her instead. "Hello! I've not seen you before... Right? Are you new?" This would be awfully embarrassing if she had been here and he just hadn't seem, but the elf was fairly certain he hadn't seen her.

She sat upon the chair, her eyes fixed on the assigned book that the teacher had previously given to her in the hallway to look over the chapter once more — she was early, earlier than the other students and so she took her choice of seating, hoping that there oddly wasn’t some sort of seating arrangement done prior to her coming there. As the students began to file in she simply remained seated, not trying to draw much attention to herself even though she more than likely would since she’s a new face.

There it was again, the feeling of eyes upon her hit her hard and she couldn’t help but to close the book and sit straight up, head tilting a bit as she glanced up at a male looking down at her. He seemed kind, and most certainly was attractive — Kiran soon smiled at him in a welcoming way. She listened to him and nodded her head a couple of time as a soft chuckle escaped her lips “no, I’m new..” she spoke “so you’ve never seen me before, and don’t gotta worry about whether or not you’ve forgotten me”, watching him settle into the spot beside her now. “I’m Kiran.. it’s very nice to meet you” she hummed gently as she turned a little more towards him, opening her body up some as she watched him closely, taking in his features. “Have you been attending here very long?”

[uruha-ia]

Uruha let loose a relieved huff when the other confirmed that she was in fact new, “That is good. I made that mistake once and I would very much like to not do so again.” He laced his fingers on his lap and sat back, taking a moment to relax since they had some time to converse. “I am Uruha, it is a pleasure to meet you as well. I have been here for...” He tilted his head back a moment, nose scrunching slightly as he thought. How long had he been here? It seemed like not long at all, but it had been a while. Right? “A month, perhaps?” he finally guessed. It sounded about right. “Or... It might be more. I’m unsure. But I have been enjoying it. What made you come here?”

Carpe Diem || Uruha & Jinki

“I like to bring them snacks too, so they’re almost guaranteed to come kinda close to us. They always get excited when I come to visit them,” Uruha said, somewhat proudly. Maybe it was not at all difficult to befriend wild ducks with food, but he was proud nonetheless. 

Uruha sighed dramatically at the mention of summer, taking the moment to dab at the sweat on his brow. “I hate everything about the summer. It is terrible. The stars are nice, you’re right about that, but it is too hot. Even at night!” And he was not even living in the hottest part of Japan; apparently this place stayed cooler than other parts of the country. He could not imagine!

“Here- I’ll make it a pleasant walk for us~” he grinned, glancing around once to make sure no one was paying too much attention to them before he drew upon his magic, and the temperature around them chilled almost immediately, enough for them to suddenly be able to see their breath. It made him too tired to keep this up all the time, but he would always do this if he got too desperately hot. Maybe that was a little too cool for a non-snow elf though? “Isn’t this better?” He said happily, waving a hand so a couple little snowflakes formed and fluttered down in front of them; of course they melted immediately upon leaving the cold bubble he had created around them.

“of course they get excited, you bring them food. You’re the food man” He chuckled. The shigofumi would rather stay away from wild animals, he didn’t understand them but that might be because he doesn’t really come across them in his line of work. The furry animals the humans keep in their home seemed okay.

The shigofumi couldn’t help but agree with a nod of his head. He did not like the bright sunshine. Jinki was grateful he could hide when he wasn’t needed. The sudden change in temperature bewildered the him. “What in the underworld?” He looked over at his friend with his eyes widened. He could feel his body cooling it caused him to shiver, the good kind of shiver. Jinki decided to test out the magic by reaching his hand out of their bubble, his fingertips did indeed change temperature back to the warm summer sun. “That is so cool” He commented, who knew snow elves had powers like that. “This is so much better thank you” he smiled as he touched the snowflakes before they disappeared. “Although his does have me curious to what else you can do.”

"The food man!" Uruha parroted happily, a cheesy grin lighting his face and crinkling his nose. Did that mean he had simply bought the affections of the feathered creatures? Of course, but he did not mind the small print. He was simply pleased to be the Food Man.

Uruha looked back at the Shigofumi, and being content that the other wouldn't be catching hypothermia any time soon he nodded in satisfaction, deciding to leave the air as chilled as it was. "Ah, I can't do much special really. Naturally, I can freeze things. Water, objects, people-not that I have frozen people. But I could. I can also conjure ice, create things. That sort of thing," he shrugged nonchalantly. It didn't seem so remarkable to him, but of course that was simply because he had grown up with these strengths, and seeing that of his parents. It was just another part of him. "In the winter I am stronger, though. In this blasted heat I feel like a melty-goop version of myself most of the time," he complained, tsking quietly. "But well, that is okay. I like it here! I can't believe you find my abilities so cool when you have such an important role yourself!"

Playin it not safe || Uruha & Wenhan

wenhan-ia​:

“Oh really? Are you really trying to test me here? Because without any hesitation I will order three bottles if I have to.” He admired the others smack talk and was certainly amused. But don’t smack talk with the hunter a bit too much. He tends to get really competitive. And without a warning he quickly begins to speed up. Wenhan had  missed this. Riding his motorcycle at times like this. It’s not that he couldn’t but it has been a moment since he actually had some free time. To wind down and mess around. 

“You know, it sounds like your not confident in my driving skills.” he chuckled. “Just lean your weight against me and be sure to hold on tight.” he said as he reassured his classmate that everything will be fine. Even though he’s been a motorcycle accident before– but that doesn’t prove his point so let’s not mention that. His eyes carefully focused on the road making sure to avoid the rocks, and oddly shattered glass. Whoever did that needs to clean that up. It took a while to get there, but after twenty minutes or so they finally arrived to the bar having him pull to the side. 

Bright lights appeared having the sign say ‘Nightlife.’ “Looks like we’re here.” he said as he got out of the motorcycle taking off his helmet helping Uruha take off his. And as soon as they adjusted themselves fixing up their helmet hair he began to walk towards the bar opening up the door. 

“Come on. I heard they’re doing a special today.” 

Uruha lacked the competitiveness the other had, he was simply bemused by this whole round of “smack talk,” so he let the matter drop when the other sped up and the wind made talking near impossible. But even that in and of itself was pleasant; the rise in speed made him draw his hand back to himself and hold on, but he still quite enjoyed the pleasant feeling of flight. It was nice to simply close his eyes and enjoy the feeling of cool wind against his skin.

Twenty minutes went by quickly for him, and he was showing a rare, cheesy grin when he pulled his helmet off, absently running a hand through the strands. “That was fun. Thank you for keeping the bike upright the entire time, I greatly appreciated it.”

That done, he followed Wenhan inside; this bar he was actually not familiar with, considering he enjoyed traveling on foot and this was a bit far to do so. “If the special is anything extremely fruity, I do not wish to drink it. I like to enjoy the taste of alcohol and juice separately, thank you,” he said, leaning into the other just slightly to make sure his voice was heard over the familiar din of a busy bar.

Head in the Stars [Uruha x Styles]

styles-ia​:

As if Styles would worry- anyway he just looked at the other man who was talking about his classes like any student would. Whining about them even though the academy students could pick their own classes perfectly fine. There was no mandatory curriculum so the whining fell on deaf mans ears with the elf.

Though he smiled and nodded as he pretended to be sorry for the other. “Yeah, I love the stars mate, lived among them for a wee while. Real cute them stars when ya see m up close.” he said and then grinned “Yeah? Creatures like ya? Like elves or what? Do ya think there are other people like ya? Ya one of those elves that fell from the sky right? I think ya are pretty unique mate, not a lot of ya here. Theres only one other I know and that’s a prince yeah.”

When the information that there really were not many like him - and that the one the other elf knew of was someone of such high esteem - had a chance to sink in, Uruha was probably going to be quite sad about it. However, for the moment he was spared from that angst as he was thoroughly distracted by the revelation that the other had actually lived among the Stars.

“You lived among them?!” He gasped, eyes going wide as he leaned forward in earnest interest, slender fingers tightening just a bit around his glass. “There is actually a way to go be among the Stars? Why would you even want to leave? I bet it is amazing,” he breathed, almost dreamily. “How do you go back?”

URUHA - BLINDING HOPE

Playin it not safe || Uruha & Wenhan

wenhan-ia​:

Most definitely right. Regrettable choices are the best choices, well depending what you’re doing of course. Putting his helmet on, not knowing if the weather was going to be shitty or not. Of course Wenhan didn’t bother to look up the weather. Plus it made things more fun this way. What was the worse that could happen?

“Shocker, I thought you would have a low alcohol tolerance Uruha.” he smiled at the other before starting up his motorcycle. “I’m offended by your teasing. For your information I am a great driver.” Well decent enough to not die. He chuckled at the other making sure Uruha was safe. Let’s not have anyone experience a concussion today. “No promises, but just be sure to hold on tight.” and without hesitation or even a warning he instantly began driving onto the road. 

The feeling of the wind was slightly harsh, but comforting in a way that as gently brushes upon your cheek it felt relaxing. As the hunter continued to drive, they eventually passed the area where the sea was located, listening to the soft sounds of the waves. “You okay their shorty?” he asked as he continued to drive eyeing on the road carefully. For some odd reason the state of the roads were utterly terrible. Pot holes, cracks. Not safe at all. Was Wenhan nervous though?

Not really. 

"Well, that is a wrong assumption on your part. I believe my alcohol tolerance is even greater than yours and that I will be obligated to carry you out of the bar later,” Uruha said airily. Not that he actually knew if that was correct or not; however, he just wanted to indulge in ‘smack talk,’ he believed it was called. It was amusing to tease. That warning made him hold on a bit tighter, before they were off.

It was a bit strange, at first. A little scary to see the ground zipping by so quickly beneath them, with absolutely nothing to shield him if he should fall but the thin clothes he wore; those seemed not adequate in the least for motorcycle riding. To fall would certainly be painful. The elf could not bring himself to care though, or give the worry much thought, because the way the breeze felt was absolutely wonderful.

“I am fine,” he said back, raising his voice to be heard over the wind as he braved letting go with one hand, raising it to let the breeze flow through his fingers. “Please do not fall over though. I really do not want to fall over.”
