[CLOSED] Welcome Home

Who ⬤ Nazuna Nito ([personal profile] bunnii) & Mayoi Ayase ([personal profile] 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.

[To say Mayoi was disoriented upon waking is an understatement. He already had a dodgy memory of what happened up to the point he fainted, anyway, and as he is trying to cobble it all together: Waking up in Hell, being dragged backstage for what seemed like a seedy Livehouse, running into Nazuna Nito from Ra*bits and performing a Valkyrie song on stage together--]

[The whole thing was a laughable fever dream. How could any of that be real? As much as he wanted to cling to that denial, trying to figure out where he was currently was shoving a wrench in that. These were not the dorms he was familiar with- this was someone's apartment, for sure. How did he get here...?]



[When Nazuna returns, he will be greeted to a... scene.]

[Mayoi has gotten the cover off the vent in the ceiling of the room he woke up in and has climbed about half way in. Depending on how long he watches, Mayoi will then pull the vent cover back up like he intends to replace it like he was never there.]

[Nazuna's voice actually startles the crap out of him. He was still kind of banking on hallucinating him, so to be suddenly called out to, Mayoi shrieks and loses his grip against the vent shaft he had his entire weight pressed against, so he could shimmy his way up. Instead, he just slips right back out.]

[Hopefully nothing (or no one) was under him when he came down.]

[What a spectacular mess. Sorry if Nazuna has any downstairs neighbors.]

[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.]

N-NITO-SAN!!

[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]

[He too, will probably have a hell of a bruise somewhere, but he quickly shakes his head.]

[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!

But I am a guueeeesst, such disrespectful b-b-

[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! No! Now is not the time! Fixate on such an adorable person later! He has committed such a heinous act! Get it together, Ayase!]

[Deeeeeeep breath.]

A-Ah… I was …very alarmed when I woke up. I thought I had dreamed everything before…

Nito-san went through so much troooouble for someone like meeeee…

[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..?

[Well, Mayoi can’t exactly judge him for something like that. Even before he’d fully understood the situation he was in, he was still finding himself wanting and wishing for ALKALOID to just come out of the shadows to guide him home. And even if not that, there was that dark, terrible part of him that just wanted them to be there with him, no matter what.]

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.]

cw: mild suicide idealation implication

[Well. He's already had to accept quite a lot of strange circumstances so far. There's nothing to do about it but carry on. Especially if ...it really is possible to get his reward for the contract. No, he must do his best, even in these circumstances, just like he vowed he would back home.]

[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...
