[Jaunt] Apologies for the comm-spamming

[youandyoualone]

This is Anafiel Delaunay, lately of the Walkabout. I was told of the plague of Trojans here by Naoki and so I have come to lend my aid in whatever way I might. I have also brought Sakuya Tachibana, a healer of no mean skill, in hopes that he might be able to treat the computer disease.

If anyone can tell us how we might help, please do. I am not a healer myself, but I have spent some time as a soldier in my youth. I am willing to follow instruction.

Oh, Shiro. You are the universe's biggest sap, and I love you so much.

Maybe one day we'll actually get to have a home together. I'll be a snarky old professor of something, and you can just... keep flying things. That would be amazing.

[vrepit_no]

Love you... Love you, love you, love you. Give you my whole heart. ....that might get kinda messy, though.

Oh man, like, a little 'partment? Or, or, a little ranchy house? Wif grass an' blue skies, an' good winds, an' you c'n have an office where you hold vidja lectures? Oh! Oh, Matt! Mattie Matt Matt! We can have, we can have... fishy windsocks.
[This is clearly the best thing ever.]

[tookashirototheknee]

You already have my everything, Takashi. You have for quite a while now.

Hm. Well, I'd love a little house. I'm shit at mowing the lawn, though. So unless you like mowing lawns, we'll have to find some kid who wants to make a bit of money. I require a library with so many books. That could be my office. Or just... a comfy room to read and snuggle in. It's been so long since we've done that, 'Kashi.

[There's a long pause, and then he laughs.]

Fishy windsocks? ... Why that?

[vrepit_no]

Hmmmm.... Well I dun mind mowing, prob'ly. Nice bit of exercise 'n stuff. Bein' out in the wind and the sun an' the smell of the grass. Yeah, I could do that. Gonna snuggle you so much after this, tho. Soooooooo much. So much.

Of course fishy windsocks! Ohmigosh, they'll be great! Like a blue one, an' an orange oooone, an' a red ooone... Like koi kites! Like the ones Mom used to get me as a kid f'r my birfday!

[tookashirototheknee]

I will take all of the snuggles that you can snuggle, really. It's been a long however.

Oh! I think I know what you mean. I've seen those before. Hm. Now I'll have to keep that in mind in case we go to a world that would have something like that. Black and green, definitely.

[vrepit_no]

Oooo... I dunno that I've seen a green one b'fore! I want one! Y'ever fly kites, Mattie? Watch 'em soar an' loop an' feel the pull'a the wind? An' the sky's all bright 'n blue an' there's so much sun...

[tookashirototheknee]

Not since Pidge was like... five. Man. Now I want to go fly a kite myself.

I've never had the flying bug like you, but... that sounds amazing.

[vrepit_no]

Bet we could, when this's over. 'Member, there's that meadow? An' you can make us kites, an' I can teach you you how t'do the real nice tricks 'n stuff.

[tookashirototheknee]

That sounds amazing. I'd love that.

... now I want to figure out how to work kites in zero g.

'Kashi... I miss space. I miss floating and watching the stars go by. I miss home. I miss... I don't even know. I feel so lost.

[vrepit_no]

Yeah... I know, starshine. Kinda out've our element here, huh. Mebbe we c'n figure out how ta make us a room. Getta good zero-g space. You'll dance wif me again, won'tcha? Zero-g dancing? An' smoooooochin~

Private: Protection II

[tookashirototheknee]

[Matt decides that he'll just take this private for the both of them.]

Oh, absolutely. Remember when we we were trying to dance on Saturn's rings, and Dad was about losing his shit laughing?

And yes. I will kiss you as much as you want. And whatever you want.

Re: Private: Protection II

[vrepit_no]

[That's good, because Sgiro forgets to do that when he's not high. ]

Sunlight reflectin' off the ice an' catching in your eyes. And your hair was floating in this gorgeous halo. You were laughing too... [His voice has gone soft, absolutely adoring. Just the tone that he takes as he touches Matt's face and holds him close normally. ] I remember.

[Pause. ]

We kept bouncing off the walls.

Private: Protection II

[tookashirototheknee]

I think that was the moment when I realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. I knew I loved you, but... that just made everything fall into place. You were so happy, floating there, doing silly somersaults and trying to figure out which way was down.

[His voice goes quiet and tiny like when he's thinking.]

I'm more homesick than I realize, 'Kashi.

Re: Private: Protection II

[There's a deep ache in the empathy of Shiro's voice and floating along the bond. Home is banned to him now, unless he wants to fight for every step he takes, and oh how he longs to see it again. For a place where he can feel like himself again. Free of the crushing weight of responsibility he's taken on. ]

I know, Mattie... Me too. Someday I'll fly you back there. I'll take you home.
