[ The longer his friend grooms his wings do his eyes begin to droop once more. The purr rumbling in his throat becoming more apparent as fingers scratch at spots he was not aware felt so satisfying. Ears fold back at an angle show that despite not looking to him, listening as his friend replies to him and he knows he makes a good point. R'yoji is just.. too self conscious of himself.
If anybody gave him attention it would be mostly a figment of his imagination. Rather, he does know that some effects of this moonblessing attract others to him. He has to hope it does not keep to its record. A light hum leaves him but at this point it's hard to distinguish whether it's to the scratches or actually his reply. Bi-colored eyes do blink as he feels his friend shift behind him, giving him a curious look as he meets with that sunshine grin with an almost telltale gleam in amber eyes.
Briefly brows knit in confusion until he blinks at the notion and watches his companion duck and move around the wing before forcing it to curl around him. He blinks a few more in his surprise until a snort of laughter escapes him. Lips raise in amusement, chuckling now with a tilt of his head. ] I think that's more likely to have the opposite effect.
[ Yet the corner of his eyes crinkle with mirth and mood does seem to have lighten considerably. That wing curls a little more against his cherished friend, tucking him closer with a lean in almost nose to nose. ] At least you're having fun.
[ But he doesn't say it as if to fault him. It helps a little. Like this, he almost cocoons him protectively, feeling a swell of warmth in his chest as he raises a hand to gently brush an ear. Then his arms come to a cross with another tilt of his head. ] Well, I'd appreciate your company if you don't mind accompanying me.
[ Does he need to ask? Probably not but. He does so anyways. Always finding himself more at ease with V'seji by his side. That becomes so much more apparent to him nowadays. ]
[ He bumps their foreheads together when his friend draws close, thinking maybe it would be good to enjoy some time in bed. It's... Odd to have such a peaceful time where they can consider sleeping over working more often than not. When Chroma, a currency gained from physical contact can be monetized so easily exists, what else should one do?
Pursue dreams? It's something V'seji never quite thought of... Money and other resources have always been the goal for their services, then there's acting out of goodwill. He contemplates a bit with a hum, even when his ear is brushed with meticulous fingertips. It flickers wildly at that, drawing his attention back. Maybe his purpose or dream right now is to take care of his friend. Yes. That will do. ]
I surmise I can take a nap like this. [ He brings the wing closer to cocoon him more, like wrapping himself in a thick duvet. Ears fold against his head as he looks at R'yoji with big gold eyes. It's cozy. He's cozy. ] However, I am willing to put that on hold for some shopping. Lead and I shall follow.
[ He says that, but he's still... Going to wait here in the warm confines of R'yoji's new wings. Nose wrinkling, the wings smell just like his friend. He had thought they would smell more alien and unfamiliar, but it only solidifies these modifications stem from them.
It's weird. This is all weird. It's fine. It'll go away. ]
[ Red dyed ears swerve forward at the bump of their foreheads with a soft thump making itself known as his tail raises and drops against the floor. Only for the tufted appendage to sway contently behind him. The warm swell of emotions that his friend meets him halfway with such a notion upon his leaning in makes him quite happy.
It's the very reason for the soft smile on his lips. A look that only grows fonder as those round large eyes peer at him. Being gazed upon with such a look only yearns to tempt him. Wishing nothing more than to kiss him. To show this very person- to express the very emotions he feels for him. He hardly bats an eye with his friend curling said wing around him more. Not when the other wing makes a soft shush of his feathers as it drags to curl around as well.
Coming upon the scene would make it look nothing but a cocoon of feathers. As if R'yoji's very intentions were to hide them from view. Some privacy in this small little world of theirs. His head tilts to rub their ears together now with a touch of affection. Unable to hold himself back from it with a happy rumble. ] I can hold off from shopping for a bit longer. I'll wake you in a short while.
[ Though his growing appetite only seeks to get bigger, it quells enough with the contact he has on his friend now. One hand idly running fingers and light claws over the span of his lower back as if to encourage his companion to nap a few winks. He did enough sleeping himself so he's content with just holding him like this. Something he could easily grow accustomed to.
Idly, he runs his nose against the crook of that neck, drinking in the coolness and comforting scent of his friend. By now these wings are a distant thought in the back of his mind. What with his attention so solely focused on V'seji. The earlier moments of his initial panic all but a foggy memory by now.
In the end, what he feels for his friend, what comfort and ease he has in his company is always familiar.]
[ Aw... V'seji squints at R'yoji at first with an incredulous smile, wondering what has his friend being so cuddly today, but he does remember the last Cordis cycle. His friend latched onto him the whole time, albeit begrudgingly. Seldom is his friend sweet as this, so he finds it hard to resist not returning the gestures of affection. He leans his head against R'yoji's, letting his ear flutter against the other's, and continues humming in feigned contemplation.
The little nudge at his back as his squirming in his friend's hold, now turned to face him with prying gold eyes. Again, he's touched to be considered though he's at the age where one can forego many minutes of sleep. his tail sways in the feathered cocoon as he huddles closer with fingertips still lightly tracing the curve of his wings. ]
You're not going to nap with me like usual? [ There's fake surprise in the lilt of his voice. ] Clinging onto me like a babe.
[ His heart tightens to the touch on his shoulder, wondering if maybe their recent close developments have anything to do with their talk in the Glory... Mayhaps R'yoji fancies him in the same way? Or is it instinctual aftercare from the chroma-starved nights. His heart reaches for the former, so endearment warmly laces his features as his hands guide R'yoji to look at him now.
With both hands on his friend's cheeks, he carefully squishes them, making them puffy, patting them. Chubby cheeks, chubby cheeks. ]
Unless watching others sleep is within your interests. I'm not one to judge.
[ That entices a louder rumble to feel their ears flick against one another, encouraging more rubs with a fluttering close of his eyes. Listening to the comforting hum echoing from beside him that have wings flutter closer. He feels his friend move but does not look directly to him. More content holding and being surrounded by this warmth that is him.
A soft sound escapes his throat as fingers trace over wings, feeling back muscles twitch as wings shift and almost melt under the touch. He hums at the inquiry and peeks out an eye at the accusing surprise. R'yoji snorts after with a light squeeze. ] I do not cling.
[ Napping with his friend, however is always welcoming. But he doesn't need sleep. He burns through enough chroma during his cycle that he needs to be more active than not. Light claws soothe lower down that back with soothing scratches almost featherlight. His attention captured as he feels those hands on his face, blinking suddenly at him with a light thump of his tail behind him.
He then scowls a little as he plays with his cheeks. Head tilting to give a slight reproaching nip to a finger. ] If that were the case you would have long since known that by now. [ But, to make it more clear. ] No, it is not.
This cycle just leaves me a bit.. restless. [ Ears flicker briefly back, knowing his companion should be more than aware of that predicament. But to see his friend so comfortable and.. warm. He doesn't want to stir him. ]
Whatever helps you sleep at night, my dear friend.
[ Because R'yoji does indeed hold onto him. It can be interpreted in whatever way people want, but to V'seji it's some semblance of clinging. Same with sleeping, granted he has never caught R'yoji watching him. Instead, he only remembers his friend sitting up in cold sweat... Plagues by nightmares. His expression softens more, wanting to only comfort him, but he can see R'yoji is as playful as ever.
So he rewards that nip with a small bap on the cheek, as if reprimanding him. Bad boy. Bad. The other hand pinches his cheek once before scratching the side of his head as consolation. ]
All right. You'll have to take responsibility.
[ For taking him to bed and for waking him up. V'seji lifts both arms up over his head and stretches a bit, but mostly waiting for his winged friend to sweep him off his feet and carry him to the plush comforts of his bed. All smiles, he's ready
R'yoji has to burn chroma in some way. This is what his friend wished for, right? ]
[ R'yoji gives his friend a scrunched up look as he receives the tapping notions from him. Especially as they move to pinch. He would reach back and away from him by this point, if not for those fingers scratching and earning a brief flutter of lashes as he leans into it. A distant thought how well his friend knows how to appease him with touches like that. Touches that he's sure no other are aware of.
Ears flicker forward at the sound of that voice, soft and soothing. He blinks his eyes open to look to him with a slight smile and light knit of his brows. ] Don't I always?
[ That's fine. Especially if it means his companion will get some rest. At sight of those arms raising does he scoop his friend up with a wrap of his arms, hooking to lift him without any difficulty. He's only slightly surprised as his wings flare a bit out with a light flap as though to balance and steady himself. However, he ignores it, taking him to the more comforts softness of sheets and bed.
For a moment, he hovers over him before dipping to linger close to the crook of that neck. He can feel the steady sway of his tail behind him as he debates holding back, but there appetite grows and he caves in to drag the tip of his nose along the curve of that neck. A soft intake of his breath with a content rumble, wings quivering a little against his back before drooping as though to return his companion and him to their earlier feathery cocoon. ]
..This is fine, right? [ He won't ask for anything as of now. Truly wanting nothing more right now than to let his friend drift off to sleep. ]
[ V'seji is basically like a ragdoll when carried, allowing R'yoji to cradle him however he wants as he gets comfortable till he's placed on the bed. However, his eyes widen and ears perk up when he hears the sound of those wings. It takes a second or two before he chortles softly, finding it funny how his friend's personality shows even in these newly given limbs. It's something they both have to get used to.
Before he even reaches the mattress does he start purring, finding his eyelids feeling heavier and heavier with every step his friend takes. Usually, he doesn't find it so easy to sleep... Before, he always had trouble, merely pretending to sleep until he finally does. V'seji doesn't quite like this new world they're in, but the peace... The lack of pressure. It isn't that bad.
Once plopped onto the bed, he splays and stretches his arms over his head with a large yawn. It ends with a couple of smacks of his lips before his hands rest over his stomach, waiting for R'yoji to plop beside him, but no. The other Miqo'te idly hovers over him before nuzzling him down. ]
Why wouldn't it be? [ A content rumble sounds in his throat as he squirms under his friend. It's a bit hard to rub his back like he used to, so instead he reaches for his friend's face with a hand to caress a cheek then snake through his hair. ] Rest, Yoji.
[ Closing his eyes, he continues to pet him, hoping that it's soothing enough. ]
[ The only thing V'seji receives at sound of his chortling is a pout. Hush, you. However, for the most part his friend is a content form of smiles and purrs. Always finding interest in the more softer curve of those lips. Normally used for certain situations and scenarios. More often than not more of the quirky coy kind. It's what has him easing into this affection, wanting more of those smiles. Quite content however if merely catching sound of that rumble as he nuzzles against his friend.
Eyes blink and soon flutter at the motion of that hand holding him, leaning into the caress before lowering to a close and followed soft sigh when fingers slip through hair. He hears the coaxing command and almost promptly does so. But instead he focuses on those fingers, large feathery limbs drooping before curving at his asides to cocoon them both when he finally settles down. Not entirely wishing to suffocate him he doesn't drop all of his weight onto his companion. Though shifting onto his side proves a moment of awkward as wings fumble to adjust. Wanting to curl around them both but also avoiding any painful bending. ]
Alright alright. [ Ears quiver back as he feels those fingers run through once, twice... before he even realizes it, he's asleep. Fortunately not for long, he meant it when he said he needed some shopping again. But whenever the wakes up he humors a few more minutes as he gingerly runs fingers through black hair with a blanket of feathers cozying closer. ]
[ It was such a short nap yet it was still fulfilling. V’seji finds himself dreaming of home where their friends are. It’s odd. He was never one to get homesick now that he’s grown, but... maybe he didn’t have one for a while. He’s begrudgingly coaxed away by the first touch, humming as he rubs their ankles together.
It’s always comfortable to have company, even when he thinks back on how he never quite cherished it. Sometimes he would stay only because he sought something from them. Otherwise he left without a word. ]
Hm. Were we always like this?
[A short tease to remind them of how they used to be—at each other’s throats in a different sense. There was never a time they would wake up in the same bed, slotted together like they were meant to be. His heart squeezes at the thought as his eyes open to slight crinkles.
He reaches out again, brushing some of the dyed strands out of his face and admiring his features despite the scars. ]
I hope you slept well despite feathers and all.
[ V’seji’s hand travels to his friend’s back, petting a wing to draw attention back to this anomaly. He swore these were part of a dream, too. ]
[ It's such a simple touch. The feel of their ankles rubbing together, hearing that hum so close to him. He leans in a little further as the wing blanketing over them flutters a little. He blinks once at the question before huffing a short chuckle. ]
No, I cannot say we were. [ Even if it is a tease there is truth to it, R'yoji never stuck around for anybody. It happened very rarely that he did with V'seji.. which only had him suffering some teasing that riled him up and not in the good way. However, things have changed over time, since their reunion. The more they spent time in one another's company. The events they went through together, returning to their antics of bedding like before and yet it led to this.
Lingering so close, like lovers in their everyday life. The way his heart flutters and finds a distance yearning that it were true. Something he never cared too much before. Maybe once, a distant thing he assumed to be love.
This he felt he wanted more than anything else. Eyes flutter to a close when fingers brush hair aside, breath catching before soon humming out as those fingertips mapped along his back to the length of a wing. Which quivers under the touch before pressing back a little. ]
Well enough. [ He almost doesn't want to leave. He doesn't say so, but there's a lingering disappointment as he considers the next course of action. ] Should get the shopping done before I get any more comfortable.
[ It's too late for that but maybe if he says it it'll be true. If only he could forget about his appetite, let it be hunger or another. But he knows what food they have at home won't likely satisfy him for the next few days of the cycle. He stretches a little with wings joining in sync and nearly topple the lamp over which has him almost jolting up in bed with quick blinking.
If he wasn't awake before, he most certainly was now. ] ..Maybe the sooner the better.
[ V'seji still has R'yoji in his grasps, mostly massaaging his ears and scratching behind them... At least until he, too, jolts at the sound of toppling table furniture. Ears stay upright atop his head with gold eyes wide, peering over the mattress to see the sad lamp. It takes him a moment before an ear flickers and the shock subsides.
And he starts laughing........... So hard, for a very long time, as his friend gets ready. God. R'yoji may not be the swiftest and most nimble of ninjas, but this is just outright clumsy and unlike him. He. Can't. ]
G-go on ahead. I'll... [ Hehehehehe. ] Handle that and get ready after you.
[ His voice shakes between snickers as he shoos his friend away with the bat of his hand. Go!! ]
[ R'yoji almost jolts once more when that sound of laughter boils out of his friend back to him. Ears flicker back and forward in a brief moment of puzzlement until it fully registers he's laughing at him. It earns a single flick of his ear and an almost last of his tail. Not to mention a shuffle of almost ruffled wings.
Yes, yes. Laugh away! Ha ha. ( Nevermind that fuzzy sensation coiling in his stomach at sound of it. ) Now, he made for a most excellent shinobi but that is neither here nor there since most anyone would lose such balance with additional limbs.
But of course his friend finds it funny. That brief pout is a scowl now, brows knitting with an almost huff as he ( most definitely does not sulk) moves away. Getting himself ready. Well as ready as he can be, he's had to settle for a slightly less covered top to allow wings the access to be out and not constricted tightly against his back looking like an utter fool.
Certainly shows off more of his skin of his arms, nothing too strikingly new outside the black ink tattoos and various scars left behind from battle. Once ready he's found by the door with arms crossed and likely possibly still a bit grumpy. ]

If anybody gave him attention it would be mostly a figment of his imagination. Rather, he does know that some effects of this moonblessing attract others to him. He has to hope it does not keep to its record. A light hum leaves him but at this point it's hard to distinguish whether it's to the scratches or actually his reply. Bi-colored eyes do blink as he feels his friend shift behind him, giving him a curious look as he meets with that sunshine grin with an almost telltale gleam in amber eyes.
Briefly brows knit in confusion until he blinks at the notion and watches his companion duck and move around the wing before forcing it to curl around him.
