[It's true... no one could tease him about Kanda after week 4
Predictably, Kanda huffs--but he doesn't shove Lavi off immediately, even though he's definitely way more awake than Lavi. Instead, he drops his hand down to Lavi's head, effectively flattening some of his hair. If he's having any similar thoughts about this moment, about what this is, what they are--it doesn't show on his face, or in his voice.]
I'm leaving in ten minutes.
[If Lavi's up and ready, he can come, otherwise Kanda will leave him behind, and Lavi can show up on his own time. It may seem merciless, but it's a far more generous warning than he would've given in the past, i.e. no warning at all beyond the slamming of the door as he left without a word,]
[the weight of Kanda's hand on top of his head feels comforting, and it's almost tempting to whittle away those ten minutes and longer in bed, arms wrapped snugly around Kanda until the other man leaves. but that's the problem -- he doesn't want Kanda to leave. only a night and Lavi's already spoiled spending it all with Kanda, and he's loathe to let it end so soon.
he pushes himself up to sitting with one hand, the other still coiled loosely around Kanda. the expression on his face is still a little sleepy... but undeniably fond as he tilts his head and moves closer, brushing his lips over Kanda's,]
I'll get ready in five.
[surely they can spend the other five making out....]
Lavi takes the opportunity that Kanda doesn't deny him by planting a kiss on those judgemental lips, hehehe. Usually he'd engage in a little back and forth with Kanda, but he only has (looks at hand) four minutes and forty-five seconds left? He's on the clock here!! He's going to get his kisses!!! (Unless Kanda shoves him off at the two minute mark but listen) He will NOT put on his pants until he absolutely has to!!!
He will also maybe not pay attention to his own mental clock the more he kisses Kanda, maybe time.... is a concept.... of little significance... compared to how soft and warm Kanda's lips are against his..... maybe these '5 minutes' will slide into six... seven.... eight..........]
These are my thoughts and they will also probably be Lavi's thoughts because unfortunately...... even though Kanda likes kissing and is a willing participant here, he is already LATE for his daily routine, so as soon as ten minutes are up he shoves Lavi back and swings his legs off the bed to get up so he can leave
[HOW DID HE TIME IT SO EXACTLY!!!!! Lavi gapes after him like an IDIOD, but only for half a second, and then speedily attempts to reattach his limbs around Kanda before he can stand up.... back hug time......]
Yuu...! [(pleading lavi voice) YUUuUUUuuuUUUUu] Just five more minutes, yeah?
[debates whether to waste another minute ogling Kanda getting dressed like a freak... decides against it and instead also GETS DRESSED!!! he has maybe 25% of a bedhead now, but he foregoes taming the rest of it in favor of trailing after Kanda when he leaves to meditate and do 5000 sword thrusts. it's still BEFORE SUNRISE so it's pretty cold, and Lavi dramatically shivers as he reaches for Kanda's hand]
It's chilly! Want me to warm you up?
[he won't stop Kanda from getting to his destination... but he cannot resist Contact the whole time!!! he's only human!!!!]
[Honestly he mostly allows this because he's impressed Lavi actually behaved and got ready to head out with him like a good boy
That, and it's nice out here, by Kanda standards--quiet and still, in those gray early hours that happen before the romantic dawn. It keeps him mellow and content, in his own ways; unfortunately, a Kanda in a good mood is still a BULLY, so he huffs a laugh.]
You'll be plenty warm after I kick your ass. [KANDA IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THIS]
[it really is too early for violence… but Kanda gave him a small taste of it earlier so Lavi can absolutely be stockholmed into it throughout this chilly morning. He continues to enjoy holding Kanda’s hand, smiling at the sound of the closest Kanda will ever be to laughing.]
As nice as that sounds —- [okay MASOCHIST] M’not going down without a real fight this time. Not when a kiss is on the line.
[You know, he was going to let Lavi have his kisses even if he lost, as long as he kept it up long enough for Kanda to feel satisfied
But he's taking it so seriously that the idea of winning and denying him is so tempting... it's sooooo tempting... WHAT'S THE POINT OF DATING IF HE DOESN'T GET TO BE MEAN TO LAVI FOR HIS OWN AMUSEMENT]
You'd better wake up faster, then. [Not that Kanda... holds back normally...... but this time he really won't]
[THAT'S NOT CALLED DATING THAT'S CALLED BULLYING? Lavi pulls a face because he feels this ominous energy shift and he's not sure that he likes it even though he's a masochist at heart. he didn't go through ALL this EFFORT to be PUMMELED BEFORE DAWN. He squeezes closer, his expression now Pleading,]
I woke up early so I could watch the sunrise with you....
[REMEMBER, KANDA??? REMEMBER???]
the way I got confused bc I was logged in as kaveh... locked out of my own post
[DISGRUNTLED VIBES... mostly because he is mollified by this and he's annoyed about this self-revelation... who would've thought his patience could be bought so easily??? Death (slightly more permanent than usual) really changed him, damn.
Either way, he stops bitching for now; once they're out far enough away from the town, he'll actually let Lavi pull ahead and pick a good spot for them, since it doesn't really matter to him where they sit. GO ON LAVI]
[Lavi doesn't take too long -- they have a sunrise to catch and he knows the limits of Kanda's patience -- eventually picking out a spot on a hill not so different from the one yesterday. This time, Lavi heads towards a tall, flowering tree, picking a spot underneath its branches. The hill itself is covered in what looks like flowers, all with their buds still tightly closed. Lavi inspects one of them, turning the bud between his fingers with obvious curiosity,]
One of the locals said they're real pretty when they're in bloom. Said that they even put roses to shame.
[though at the moment they're just closed, but Lavi has a wild imagination for a reason,]
LMFKJHDG he's just stuck in the roller coaster dimension forever
[Kanda leaves because this is reminding him too much of Tiedoll
No I'm kidding. He just follows Lavi through the field, sitting down beside Lavi once he chooses the spot he likes. It's quiet out here, enough that Kanda feels comfortable putting Mugen down beside him and leaning back on his hand instead.
He glances over when Lavi speaks up, looking at the bud in his hand before he turns his gaze back to the horizon.]
They're musk-mallows. [His random knowledge strikes again] It's probably too early for them.
[NOT LAVI TRYING TO BE ROMANTIC AND INSTEAD REMINDING KANDA OF HIS DAD
but luckily for him Kanda doesn't run away and leave this loser by himself, even though Lavi would deserve it. Instead, his eye sparkles as he looks Kanda's way, chin propped on his hand as his whole body leans towards him. It's a combination of that incessant curiosity at learning something new -- and the pull he always feels whenever he's around Kanda, the need to be close and closer yet.]
What do they look like?
[One of the nice things about Lavi is that all for his knowledge-seeking ways, he never wants or tries to be the smartest person in the room, having no interest in being a know-it-all. he's already so annoying so imagine having MANSPLAINING as a character trait.... then he'd really have to be blown up by hoshino for all eternity....
instead, he's content to look adoringly at Kanda, expectant and enjoying this rare moment of conversation on a pretty hill before a romantic sunrise view.]
Pink, mostly. Sometimes white. [Did he learn this from Tiedoll or did he learn it during his investigation into what kind of flowers he kept hallucinating... he won't say, so it doesn't matter.] They've only got one layer of petals, though. Not like roses, spread out.
[He lifts a hand, splaying his fingers as if to demonstrate what he means, even though this is not really any more helpful than his verbal description... but it's fine. If the motion makes him lean slightly to the side, into Lavi, well--that's fine too. Despite all his complaints, he's here, like this, entirely because he wants to be. If he'd truly wanted space and quiet, he would've left Lavi behind.
He does consider telling Lavi that his enthralled expression is stupid though. MUST LAVI STARE LIKE THIS!!!!]
Lavi keeps looking, this time mesmerized by Kanda's hand, the sight as familiar to him as his own. The long fingers, the curve of the wrist, the way it feels in Lavi's hand, solid and cool. He raises his palm, but instead of grabbing Kanda's hand -- he aligns his next to Kanda's, spreading his own fingers out, trying to mimic the pattern of petals, as if both of their hands could make up one flower.
He smiles at the silliness of it, at the way that it probably looks not at all like the real thing, at the sight of their hands close together, at being allowed in Kanda's space.
there isn't a noticeable size difference between their hands, maybe Lavi's fingers are a speck longer thanks to being such a tall beanpole, but otherwise they're matched in size, if not in texture. Lavi's hands are full of calluses, mostly on his fingers, which his gloves leave bare. He curls his pinky lightly around Kanda's thumb,]
