Who ⬤ itadori yuuji & ichimonji norimune
What ⬤ the joys of annoying hizen
When ⬤ a few minutes after hizen's network post
Where ⬤ enma's building
Content Warnings ⬤ none


[ it felt a bit childish, and ridiculously stupid to find this entire situation as funny as it was— but hizen's reaction is gold. pure fucking comedy that he didn't expect! yet, he was actively harassing this man for weeks now, one meme after another, all without any explanation. nor an answer to hizen's questions; some of him asking "why are you tormenting this cat?" "is it okay?" "WHERE ARE YOU KEEPING ALL THOSE INNOCENT CATS?!!"

it was cruel, and borderline bullying at this point— but there is something endearing about confusing his dear friend. yuuji is smitten by his distress, which explain why he decided to excuse himself and found a secluded corner somewhere within the enma's building; enough privacy so he could scroll through the responses from the network, and-

-just barely muffling the laughter behind his hand. ]

[He smiles, reassured by the answer. It's always good to see Hizen making connections with others, as temporary as it'll be. Having good company makes this place more fun.

And Hizen will have people by his side, in case Norimune's unavailable for any reason.

Norimune blinks at Yuuji's question, before he laughs again. And leans in as well.]

I'm flattered that you think I looked that young. But I'm a lot older than that, kid.

[ ... kid. he remembers a certain someone who referred to him as one for a long time, and he also looked a lot younger than his ‘real’ age— that’s when yuuji narrowed his eyes, totally indulging in a staring competition with norimune.

then, quietly- ]

You’re one of those special ones, huh. The type who looks young but is actually a secret grandfather! Like, 500 years old or something!

[ he points a finger at him, gasping. ]

You’re another sword, right?!

[kikuichi]

[It's always a joy for him to watch a young soul work their way towards an answer, whether it's right or wrong. Depending on how he answers, Norimune was planning to introduce himself as just a spirit.

Until Yuuji specifically say "sword". He blinks in surprise, until the context sink in relatively soon for him. Hizen told this young man about it. How much? He don't know, but the fact that Yuuji asks if he's "another sword" say plenty. If Hizen say that much, Norimune will respect his comrade's judgement.

He chuckles and smiles, and say just as quietly:]

You're a little off, kid. I'm around 1000 years old!

[Give or take.]

If I say "yes", would you believe me?

[Norimune does have a sheathed sword at his side. Maybe it's true, maybe he's just another swordsman.]
