practicality | (no subject)

He was my superior, before - vicecommander of the Shinsengumi.

[A pause as he contemplates his tea, takes a sip, the continues]

Rain-san thinks we may have been lovers. When I got my name back - he was the one speaking it.

[Oh why do you say such things, Souji? Like the dragon isn't pissed enough already, now you throw the fact that you were lovers in his face? For all his benevolence and control, he is still a predator underneath.

Digging his claws into the table, he growls darkly as he leans over it to grab hold of the other man.]

Do not mock this. I have been lenient since a man cannot control what he dreams, but you are crossing the line.

I also do not choose what the Sphere chooses to share - would you have preferred it to be one of the many dreams of you, so this entire place can know of our relationship?

[He doesn't struggle - he knows Tian's strength is far greater than his, and he'd rather not go into work looking like his lover beats him. There's definitely a cold formality to his words that show his own anger, though]

A man such as yourself cannot claim to have had no lovers before me. But they are not here, and he is not here.

[He loosens his grip slightly and glares at Souji, baring his fangs again in a deep growl. His eyes looks like slits of blood and gold under the unruly bangs of his silver hair.

But under all that rage and posturing, there's still a hint of pain. He's more hurt than angry, but the great dragon king doesn't deal with such emotions well.]

...and if he was to arrive here?

Then my current relationship with you would come first.

[And the look in his eyes says that he expects the same from you, mister >|]

[Glaring at Souji, Tian pulls him a little bit closer, even if it was not as violent.]

You are mine. You will honor your word, Souji. I do not share.

[Now that they're closer across the table, Souji closes the distance with a rather forceful kiss.]

My word is my life, in this case. If I break one, you may take the other.

[He responds to the kiss with just as much force, nearly biting Souji's lip in the process.]

[Someone is definitely feeling a little possessive there today. Souji finally pulls away after a moment, looking definitely flushed, but trying for a semblance of composure.]

The other matter I called you here about is... this.

[He pulls a vial of multicolored sand out of his kimono, note still attached, and puts it on the table between them.]

[He breathes a sigh against Souji's shoulder, but it is a sigh of relief rather than annoyance at being interrupted.

Turning his head to look at the vial the other man was holding, he frowned.]

What is that...?

I think... it may be the same as the rainbow hourglasses some people were given last fall, that made them dream. The note says 'Give this to the one you trust.'

[Tian tenses up slightly at that, moving off Souji to take a closer look.]

...why would they give you something like this, instead of forcing it upon you?

It seems as if... we've been given a choice. You are the one I trust most, but if you'd rather not risk it, I can give it to Rain, instead.

Hm.

[He studies the vial and then looks back at Souji.]

What exactly happened, last time?

When the sand in the hourglass ran out, they slept for a day, and... dreamed. I'm not sure what of, though.

I see. And what are your plans? Shall I use it or do you wish me to watch over your while you sleep?

[He looks thoughtful for a moment, hands going to fidget with the now-cooling cup of tea before answering]

I think... I'm not sure if it would work if I just keep it. As it says to give away.

Hm. Risky.

[He watches the vial again.]

...I will use it, if you wish me to. It might give us some information.

[Souji bows his head slightly]

I... think it probably will. And I will guard you, whatever happens.

I will put my life in your hands.

[He still looks quite thoughtful, moving the vial between his fingers.]

When?

When you feel you are ready - taking time off from work shouldn't be a problem for me.

I do not have any shifts tomorrow, if you wish to have this done quickly.

[A small, crisp nod]

That may be for the best.

Show me your bedroom. I will use the vial.

[Considering they just had a fight, he's showing you a lot of trust, Mr. Samurai.]

[Souji tries not too grin to widely at that - both because he's relieved and because... lol, Section 1 housing]

You're in it. The bed is over there, though. [He points at the neatly arranged futon up against one wall]
