hasteful | mutually assured destruction

[NOOOOOOO BUZENNNN HE'S SO CUTE... Matsui huffs, amused, before nodding against him because he's not going to put a single centimeter of a gap between them right now if he can help it.]

Alright. That sounds good to me... I've been to the bell; you would like it.

[The fact that it is Tall, but also being by such a huge fuckin bell is wild. So much metal goes into one church bell.]

[he just

gasps all (play-)offended]

You went without me.... Matsu's replacing me....

[Nevermind he's going to hit Buzen over the head with a table leg before Rang...

Also nevermind about him not wanting a single centimeter of a gap between them because he's immediately sitting back so he can stare Buzen in his beautiful stupid face.]

No one in this world or any other could ever replace you. Please don't joke.

[that actually gets him to laugh, with how serious matsui is. wow!]

I don't get to joke a little bit? I was gonna flop on the boat and throw a fit and everything.

[truly i was already planning my next tag about buzen being a little gremlin about it. but instead even with matsui pulling away, buzen is just going to reach to grab both his hands with his own, and give them a squeeze.]

[HELP Buzen about to be a gremlin and Matsui just like NOT IN MY GOOD CHRISTIAN HOME.]

No. [HELP. He will hold Buzen's handsies in return, though, giving them a squeeze right back.] It's a stupid thing to joke about, and you would probably tip the boat over.

Do you think I could? What if I try—

[and he's just

going to

use that hold on matsui's hands to try to pull him down with him as buzen leans back and flops on the bottom of the gondola it's up to matsui to keep them from rocking it, thanks hydro]

[WELL OKAY THEN THANKS BUZEN. He tumbles over, but does at least have the focus to push water against the opposite side so they don't completely tip over. He's going to end up accidentally overusing his power and passing out.]

Buzen—!

[SCOLDING.

Very lightly, though.]

[HELP matsui deserves to scold buzen more, especially since he's being a brat right now. but he's also being a brat on purpose because if matsui is tired of him that's better than matsui being tired of Everything Else because normally buzen can be both the problem and the solution.]

Matsu!

[shamelessly, and he's laughing even though buzen is definitely laying and flopped on top of the oar now that i'm thinking about it. but he'll at least wrap an arm around matsui's middle to pull him closer, and the one that's still holding onto his hand will bring it closer to buzen's face.]

Hahaha - I'm lucky you like me, huh? [even when he gets overly playful. like how he just lightly bites the inside of matsui's wrist even though it's not bite week and they're the rule makers.] I like you too.

[THIS IS EXACTLY WHY HE CAN'T SCOLD BUZEN MORE... How is he supposed to maintain his scolding energy when he has to face THIS. His heart immediately melts at Buzen's stupid sweet playfulness.

Except this playfulness is too dangerous for his heart. HE'S JUST LIKE ?!?!?! AS BUZEN GENTLY BITES THE INSIDE OF HIS WRIST AND SAYS I like you LIKE WHAT'S HE SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THIS.]

Ah— Buzen, I--

[HERE IT COMES THE SECOND NOSEBLEED OF THE GAME wow only two im slacking.

Anyway the second he can feel it coming, Matsui immediately makes a dramatic nosebleed noise and tries to tip his head back and away from Buzen and cover his nose with the hand that isn't captured so he doesn't BLEED ALL OVER HIM IN THIS BOAT.]

Oh, whoa.

[he didn’t expect that. or understand it. so he’s just going to let Matsu get up but also Buzen will sit up too, just so that it’s easier for Matsu to rest on him? he’ll use his free hand to offer up the red banner on his arm because we have a laundromat now so - ]

Here, Matsu. You okay? What happened, did you get dizzy?

[from their

like five second tumble. ok.]

[BUZEN'S POOR ARM BANNER GETS SO MUCH MATSUI NOSE BLOOD ON IT. He will gratefully use this to not bleed on the rest of Buzen. He's also holding his arm back instead of forward because SOMEONE LED HIM ASTRAY.]

--My blood was just too happy to stay inside.

[HELP.]

Happy…?

[he is so confused but he’s just ???? ]

… do you like biting after all, Matsu…

[why did he say rang’s idea was bad if he likes biting………]

[This is literally the most stupid thing in the world. Matsui can't even look at him because he's trying to keep his blood in his head, but that's probably a good thing because he'd just be making some terrible embarrassing face.

HE'S STILL MAKING ONE. IT'S JUST HIDDEN BY THIS BANNER. THE BANNER CAN'T HIDE HIS TERRIBLE WORDS, THOUGH.]

...If it's you, I don't mind.

[If anyone else bit him he'd have to commit murder.]

[this is so stupid

it’s soooo stupid because matsui is out here having an M crisis and buzen just thinks that this is another fun funny thing to play a game with. because matsui is embarrassed at the same time that buzen has found a new way to make matsui happy… danger]

Ehhh, really? Then what if I…

[

he ducks his head and playfully chomps - not actually, it’s more just like the barely there imprint of teeth - over matsui’s pulse point on his neck because SOMEONE said it’s time to be a MENACE

MATSUI IS PUTTING THE M IN BDSM AND BUZEN IS SO CLUELESS ABOUT ITTTTT]

[THIS IS THE BEST AND ALSO THE WORST DAY OF HIS LIFE. He uses literally his entire week's worth of self-restraint in holding himself back from reflexively asking Buzen to bite until he bleeds because he KNOWS BUZEN WON'T LIKE HEARING THAT BUT HOLY SHIT IT'S THE MOST DIFFICULT THING HE'S DONE ALL DAY.

He's metaphorically wheezing and just kind of half-laugh, half-gasps as he attempts to GENTLY MOVE BUZEN'S HEAD AWAY... Like just sort of tugging on his ear with his free hand please let him live. His heart is beating too fast, Buzen probably feels this because his mouth is right by his pulse point, but this is fine, he's ignoring it. His nose is bleeding so badly now. RIP to Buzen's banner.]

Buzen—! All of my blood is going to leave my body if you aren't careful...

[He's (para voice) just a little m...]

[HE'S JUST A LITTLE M......

meanwhile buzen has no idea what's going on, he just thinks this reaction is funny. he lets himself be tugged because he's not that mean, but where his mouth was a second ago, his free hand will go to lightly press fingertips against matsui's pulse - just to make sure he wasn't imagining how fast his heart was beating.

there's a little bit of a confused tint in buzen's gaze, but he smiles nonetheless.]

If I'm not careful? I don't get what you mean, Matsu. I've never really thought about a sword that likes to be bitten...

[but he's still just teasing, and will shift now so that he's back to comfortably keeping matsui on his lap rather than trying to nip at him.]

[THIS IS TERRIBLEEEEEEEEE...

Well, at least he's free for the time being. Thank god. Buzen will still feel a fast heartbeat!! Matsui rests his free hand against the back of Buzen's as he checks his pulse, settling carefully into his lap as they just sit on the bottom of this stupidass gondola.]

You don't need to spend too much time thinking about it. In fact, please don't.

[they have to get to the museum eventually but since for once buzen isn't driving, he's chill to just go along for the ride. except it seems like when he's not driving he's just being a total rudeass to matsu.]

Don't? But it seems like something you find fun... and I like giving you what you enjoy.

[BuzeeeeEEEEEEEN HE IS DYING. HIS NOSEBLEED IS NEVER GOING TO STOP AT THIS RATE.]

I know, Buzen. But that's the problem...

[HIS LIFE IS FLASHING BEFORE HIS EYES. The boat also probably stopped moving for a bit as Matsui was thoroughly distracted from piloting it, but it lurches forward again after that, moving faster toward the museum so he's fucking free.]

Problem...? Why is there a problem...?

[HE'S REALLY NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S GOING ON, MATSUIIIIIII]

[LISTEN IT'S FINE. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT'S FINE!!! He's really soaring between such highs and lows this week wow.]

--Ah, look, the museum is up ahead.

[SPEEDING THEM INTO THE FUCKING SIDE OF THE CANAL and also kind of collapsing a bit because that took a lot of power.]

[?????????

literally just going to fucking

catch his matsui in his arms]

.... I could've just started steering, Matsu....

Are you okay? Do you want me to get you something to eat to get your energy back?

[THIS IS SO FUCKING STUPID. He just flops into Buzen's arms like a useless fish.]

No... I'm fine. Let's just get to the museum...

[So he can collapse on one of the benches and pretend he's paying attention to the displays.]

Uh-huh.

[he's so fucking stupid, even buzen is a little amazed at this recklessness.... but he's also just going to pick matsui right up into his arms so he can

carry him the rest of the way to the museum!!! might as well!]

I'm driving next ride.

[NOOOOOOOOO he's pouting a little even though he is literally not making a single fucking move to try standing on his own two feet. In fact, he's making himself very comfortable here.]

If I practice more, I'll be able to do better than that.

[That's not even how these work but he is sure trying(????)]
