[CLOSED] Welcome Home
Who ⬤ Nazuna Nito (
bunnii) & Mayoi Ayase (
rottencactus)
What ⬤ An Unusual Housewarming
When ⬤ Post-TDM performance
Where ⬤ Nazuna's Apartment; Tamamo Territory
Content Warnings ⬤ None
[After their performance, Nazuna was eager to compliment his stage partner for putting on an incredible show-- only to watch him faint the moment they were out of the spotlight and tucked away back behind the curtains. There wasn't anything he could do to stop it, although he tried. He could hope that at his efforts at least lessened the impact a little when he hit the floor. Checking his breathing and his pulse; there didn't seem to be anything terribly off. So Nazuna had to guess that his nerves must have caught up to him and whatever adrenaline he was getting by on evaporated after the show was over.
There wasn't any real place to let him rest here, so-- he made the decision that it would be best to take him back to his apartment until he recovered. After all, there were still a lot of things he wanted to talk to him about. Carrying him wasn't an option, but one of the staff members was kind enough to agree to let him borrow one of the stage carts.
That's how he ended up rolling Mayoi back to his apartment and-- with effort and determination-- lift and push the taller boy into his bed to rest.
Figuring it would be a while before he got up, Nazuna decided to return the cart right away. Then he could stop somewhere and pick up a few things quick too. After the day he had, he figured Mayoi would probably want something to eat. Between the two tasks, he's probably gone about half an hour before he returns to check on his sleeping-- or perhaps no longer sleeping-- guest.]

That's how he unfortunately ends up between the floor and Mayoi when his arms inevitably fail him miserably.]
--unyuu?!
[Aaaaand down they go...]
1/2
[He is …stunned, actually, in surprise, which is what keeps him from immediately losing his absolute mind at what just happened.]
N-Nito-san…?
[Ah, so, all of this had been real after all. There is no denying that.]
no subject
[OH NO HE CRUSHED A RABBIT. OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK.]
I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Are you hurt!?
[He will roll right off of him and begin to fuss and panic. Oh noooooooo]
no subject
N-no, I'm fine............ you're not hurt anywhere, are you?
[Once Mayoi is up, he stretches a little before crawling up into a sitting position.]
no subject
[And then like. Drops to his knees in seiza and puts his head right on the floor.]
N-No, no, I'm just fine! Please do not worry over someone as shameful and disgusting as me-! A-ah, to have done such a thing- I'm sorry! I'm sorry for being alive!
no subject
[Watching him do that only proceeds to make him fluster real quick in a panic.]
Yew dun hafta dew dat--!!
[Oh. Oh no. Nazuna shakes his head and slaps his cheeks.]
I-I mean!! It's partially my fault too-- I shouldn't have left you alone in some place you didn't even know!
1/3
[Mayoi would have been content to continue going on like that until he simply ran out of air and passed back out, but Nazuna’s sudden shift in voice catches him off guard.]
[Oh. A cute stutter and such a distressed face. Ah …Nito-San is very cute actually…]
no subject
3/3
A-Ah… I was …very alarmed when I woke up. I thought I had dreamed everything before…
no subject
[It's hard to get a good read on him when he's staring at him like that. But somehow it feels a little embarrassing. He can't tell if Mayoi understood him or not either.]
Let's just start from the beginning. You actually collapsed after our performance. I was pretty worried... I couldn't just leave you there so I asked the staff to let me borrow one of the carts they use for moving equipment to help get you back home. I figured you probably don't have a place of your own yet, so I brought you back to my apartment so you could get some rest. So then I figured I should return the cart-- and pick up some food too in case you were hungry.
[The bag is still lying there on the floor where he dropped it.]
no subject
[He is a little distressed over this, but he’s not freaking out this time. He will sit up properly and rub his face. He feels pretty delicate right now, but that is the result of a lot of things, including but not limited to: definitely being hungry.]
[…]
Is it …too much to hope that this is an apartment associated with Ensemble Square..?
no subject
[Even if he felt a bit guilty being happy in a situation like this.]
...yeah. Unfortunately this place is a long way away from Ensemble Square.
[There really isn't any reason to try and sugar coat it. The reality of the situation was pretty serious. So even if it was difficult, he wanted to help Mayoi face it head on.]
But it's relatively spacious. And even though it's in Tamamo's territory-- there's no reason you couldn't stay here if you wanted.
no subject
So then, it’s all true. The contract, and the strange assignment I was given. The youkai walking the streets…
[His offer surprises him, though. Mayoi sits up a little straighter, ready to fuss.]
Ah-! But! Wouldn’t that be imposing on Nito-san? Y-You hardly know me…
[As much as his instinct is to immediately tear himself down at the thought of inconveniencing Nazuna, his desire to not be alone is just barely overriding that.]
no subject
[Nazuna can see it coming-- he just chuckles and shakes his head.]
Not at all. If I'm honest, it's a bit lonely staying here by myself. If I can help out a friend from home then of course I want to.
[This place has certainly been neglected a bit-- not terribly, but more so because he's kept himself busy and hasn't really spent much time by himself here. He can't argue that he's any good at looking after himself so, having someone else to look out for instead could only improve things, as far as he sees it.]
cw: mild suicide idealation implication
[After all, if he disappeared and somehow cost ALKALOID their dream, he would simply- well. It's best not to think about that.]
O-Oh. If... that is the case- Ah. I'm sorry, I'm really a disgusting wretch a-and I'm sorry if my presence t-taints your apartment. B-But ...I would be in your debt if I could really stay here...
[He hasn't really taken the place in, but, he can tell Nazuna's a busy person, so it feels natural to offer the next part?]
I can handle chores! Any of them! Any tedious and unwanted task you do not wish to do, please pile them upon me in return. I-I'm not a terrible cook, either...
