[This worries Hizamaru a little more. He starts to reach up to take the hand, but falters, not wanting to cause Higekiri more pain.]

Elder brother, please... You must tell me what happened. You can confide in me.

[oh... higekiri will just hold his hand out when hizamaru reaches out for him because why wouldn't he comply?? sure he feels the horny but also he just doesn't care]

Hm... Well, I was able to enter another room... so I suppose you can take the key from me now. It appears as though the gods smile upon me when I make attempts.

[please he hasn't used it someone else take it before he shitposts into another room]

[DAMMIT. He doesn't NOT reach up to very tenderly and carefully take the end of Higekiri's hand. So badly does he want to push the fingers into his mouth to suckle, but he grips them instead. Gently?]

You're so amazing, elder brother... Even if you worry me about being injured or destroyed, you always come back. You're so strong...

[i hate you so much anna

but regardless higekiri will let hizamaru take his hand - it looks like the ends of his fingers aren't where any of the pain is. but he will remove his glove just because he'd rather touch his brother, skin to skin - and that's when it looks like there's a bit of a burn on his palm.

he doesn't seem to care much about it though as he pauses and offers a soft smile, like he's thinking of something

he leans forward so that he can press their foreheads together]

... if something were to happen to me, you would continue to be my kind, reliable younger brother, wouldn't you?

You would not break, or become unkind... isn't that right?

[Thankfully, there's something on the palm, so he can be momentarily distracted by easing the hand over. He frowns deeply, but doesn't brush it. But before he can say much about it, Higekiri's head bumps his, and he glances up.]

Elder brother...

[ANIJA, NO. He looks so hurt, not offended, just... very sad that his brother would have to think such terrible thoughts.]

I wouldn't... I wouldn't, elder brother. I promise.

[ha...

higekiri's expression softens at that and he'll settle for simply pressing a kiss to the corner of hizamaru's mouth, he relaxes a bit - ]

... good. Then I don't have to worry.

[he lets his arms loop around hizamaru's shoulders, looping around in a hug and pulling him closer - but also just to have him close.]

I hate seeing that look on your face... It makes my chest tight, even if the pain isn't my own... but the mission has to come before anything else, no matter what happens to me.

So if you have to, please forget me for a little bit if it means you can keep your relationships with others, if remembering me ever becomes too painful.

[it's hard to say what's making him say this - and yet he feels the need to caution hizamaru of it before he tells him anything else about their adventure in the room]

Elder brother...

[Everything is so cryptic, and he doesn't understand it, as usual, but it hurts his heart. Carefully, he nuzzles Higekiri's face, letting go of the hand so he can loop his arms around Higekiri's back and tuck his face into the jawline.]

Please don't say things like that, elder brother... I'll protect you. I... I won't forget you. Ever. I won't ever forget you.

Tell me what happened... Please. You worry me say such strange things.

[it's nice to be close to his brother - and higekiri will just allow this to happen, i suppose. he's tired, and sure he's horny and sort of wants to climb on top of his brother, but he'll let go of that urge for now. instead he lets himself fall back on the bed, hizamaru still in his arms as he presses a kiss to the side of his face]

Mm, I do not think I will forget you either... I do not forget what is important, after all. But if it ever grows too painful... you have my permission to do what you must.

[just so that hizamaru doesn't feel beholden to higekiri.... even if he has to disappear.

so he just sighs as he seems to think for a moment]

Well... we played a song in order to enter a room - it was filled with a number of machines that made noises. [and he actually stops to mimic the 'ping ping ping' in different melodies?] We had to play a few games... the stage battle was difficult enough that even I could not complete it perfectly - so I suppose I faced my penalties as a result.

Mm, but we were told more of a story...

Do you remember - the past Friday? When they talked about... um. Someone whose name begins with 'H' and his brother...? Again and again, I hear about them... A story where one brother is struck down, and the other is haunted by his memory. Where he holds onto his betrayal, and his anger, and distrusts even those around him who try to help... perhaps because they forgave his brother's killer.

I wonder why they keep telling me this story...

[ . . . and he's quiet, before pressing a kiss to hizamaru's forehead - and allowing his whims to turn his face so that he can press another kiss to his lips]

You know... I care for you too much -

Far too much, to allow for a world in which you grow unkind.

[For some time, he's content to bundle up close on top of Higekiri. But as the brother continues to talk, he peels himself up enough he can look down into Higekiri's face, his own expression soft and compassionate. A tad distressed at the edges.

The kiss to his forehead and lips are gladly received, but don't do anything to settle his worry even if it lights up his face and brings a sting to his eyes.]

I don't like the story they are telling us... about the brothers. [It has already bothered him, and he kept trying to put it out of his mind rather than think about it in the middle of the night while attempting to sleep.] Elder brother. I won't be unkind in a world with you in it.

[He knows Higekiri is talking about a world without, warning against it. But. Higekiri is concerned for him, about him growing unkind, unruly, bitter, unforgiving. But...]

You can't either, elder brother. [He presses a kiss to Higekiri's lips.] If anything happens to me, you have to continue. Yes? You have to be kind, and you have to be careful, and you have to remember. Even if you forget the words.

[He brushes his fingers over Higekiri's chest.]

Here. Remember.

[ . . . higekiri wonders if he should be the one to admit that he doesn't know if he's quite as kind, or careful, or diligent as hizamaru thinks he has the potential to be. he think about the story of yoritomo and yoshitsune - was it not yoshitsune, the younger brother, who was the prodigy? the genius? the talent, the one who was so very loved and charismatic compared to his elder brother - who grew so distrustful that he asked for his younger brother to fall before him?

when higekiri looks at hizamaru, sometimes he hopes that even he, tomokiri, will never become quite so ruthless as that particular master of his.]

... mm, I wonder if I'd be able to do all that, without you present. [despite his request for hizamaru, he will admit that he's less sure of himself] At the very least... I won't do anything that would compromise the mission.

[lightly, easily - it's hard for him to make promises when just this past weekend, he felt so many emotions that were so very foreign to him, and let them rule his expression more than he liked. still, he lets his fingers card through hizamaru's hair, as if to try to soothe him]

... during my first expedition with um... Junpei, we heard of 'H' and the way that he was growing distressed with the way things were going. To begin, there were 33. Four weeks later, there were 12. 21 people died in four weeks then - and yet now it appears as though we are two weeks in, and we have lost six. That message ended when the narrator says they would speak with 'C'...

Yesterday, I believe we heard something similar - or a story close to that time... The person laid with H, who was still plagued by the memory of his brother, and in the morning, he told H to bring a weapon. They confronted C... in a room - and cornered him. They asked if he had something... and then suggested that he is 'one of the 13.'

The final piece was after the conversation... H was angry at the narrator, worried that C was a demon... The narrator found something in C's profile and said that they got information from him. There are demons... and another type of creature that we could not hear - but they both act like 'hydra'. If you cut off one head, another will take its place. H asked if the narrator believed him... and the narrator said they would ask someone whose name begins with A - but H sounded upset that the narrator still spoke to A... hurt by it.

[ . . . he hums softly, closing his eyes for a moment before opening them again, and pressing a kiss to hizamaru's cheek]

Will you remember for me, brother? I wonder... if there are people, and creatures we must still find.

[Well, he didn't like the story before, and he doesn't like the rest of the story now. He listens, though, his golden eyes sweeping over Higekiri's face, searching and studying. He can remember, it's no problem. He can remember the sound of his brother's voice telling it, and the expressions on his brother's face, too.

Idly, he lets his fingers brush against Higekiri's jaw and neck, stroking.]

I'll remember, elder brother. I'll be your memory.

[Like always, no questions asked.]

I'll talk with Junpei-san. Or with Kagachi-san. Perhaps they will both speak to me together. Or they can speak with Nightwing-san... And we will be able to piece together the story further.

[Appreciatively, he peppers Higekiri's face with kisses, feeling fond.]

You did well, elder brother. You really are so amazing.

[well

when hiza lets his fingers brush against higekiri's neck - he might notice the line where it seems like something hit him very intensely against his throat! like he might've gotten clotheslined while filming a sex tape. just possibly.

but he doesn't seem to mind too much - doesn't even wince underneath the touch because he's an idiot, instead just taking all of the kisses and laughing underneath the attention.]

Mm, feel free, feel free. Kagachi was there with me - along with Wukiri... but I will probably end up speaking with Junpei and um... Nightbone later myself.

[but then he's decided he's had enough with these fleeting kisses, instead leaning up to press their lips together more insistently, licking briefly into hizamaru's mouth before he

pulls away like a tease]

I'm surprised I haven't heard anything about the curse this week as well...

[A gentle, corrective interjection:] Nightwing. [Which was going to be a shitpost, but people corrected him immediately.]

If they need me to tell the story, I w--

[Pleasurable lightning ricochets from his thighs to his neck. He chases after Higekiri's mouth, gets a good but unsatisfying kiss, and then tries to chase it more when Higekiri pulls away. His whimper is a very faint noise in the back of his throat.]

Curse...? You mean... touching others... and feeling sick?

["Others" because he has completely blocked out the fact his brother is included in this because--this is totally normal, right? He has always felt like this when touching his brother, there's nothing different.]

[if higekiri was even a slightly better person, he probably wouldn't be so delighted over hearing his brother whimper. but he is not, and that's why his eyes end up lighting up in amusement and a smile curls comfortably on his lips. barely placating at all, he presses another kiss to the corner of hizamaru's mouth]

Mm - not quite. The curse of the demons, of being plagued with seeing your own death, or feeling compelled to do the fucking coitus with another in order to prevent your own demise...

[he runs his fingers through hizamaru's hair, only giving the lightest teasing tug when his fingers reach the end of his locks]

I haven't heard of any afflictions this week... have you?

[Ugh. The taste of roughness is painfully teasing and not enough. He lids his eyes as if he's savoring it, so he's dazed when he opens them and realizes Higekiri has been talking.]

...What? Oh... No, elder brother. [He dips his head, tries not to be horny because his brother! is fucking injured! He's supposed to be concerned!] No one has told me about any curses.

Did you speak to Nikkari-san...? Maybe he would have felt something...

[you can be horny and concerned at the same time? higekiri just looks a little amused at that, leaning in to kiss the curve of hiza's cheekbone because his reaction was cute and deserves a small reward for entertaining higekiri.]

Mm, no... Nightbeak did not receive anything either - so perhaps it is simply more stealthy this week. I wonder how the enemy might've changed...

[a thoughtful hum

but he's awful so he's also just going to shift just a little bit so that he can slot one of his legs in between hiza's, because you can work and play at the same time?]

[He murmurs,] Nightwing, [softly over Higekiri's jaw, not sounding very hard-pressed about the correction.]

If something happens, we can see... what to look for.

[A sharp gasp gets caught in his throat. He quickly reaches down to curl his fingers into the top of Higekiri's thigh.] Elder brother... [He shifts over the leg and then catches himself.]

You're damaged.

[easily:]

Not this leg.

[and it is true, because his left leg is not damaged

but he forgot to tell hiza that the right one is so that's a fun surprise]

Elder brother...?!

[His breath hitches, but there's concern on his face... somewhere... through all the lust. He puts a hand on Higekiri's chest and tries his best to frown.]

You shouldn't make it worse...

Mm... I suppose it should be seen to at some point...

[at some point

because he's just going to let his fingers curl into hiza's hair a little more certainly again, pulling him down so that their lips can meet because apparently it's been too long since the last time that hige got a kiss]

I think it's an.... electrical burn?

[He opens his mouth to say something, but Higekiri just swallows the words with a kiss, and he returns it without any reluctance or hesitation.]

Electrical burn...? Elder brother, please don't take damages so lightly.

[He rubs his kissed lips together gently, brows confused. His hand pushes Higekiri's leg down enough for him to move it from between his legs a little.]

Let me see you, elder brother. I want to be sure you're okay, so let me see your body.

[He's already reaching out to start removing what he can of Higekiri's clothes.]

It's only minor damage, you know?

[HE JUST DECIDED IT ON HIS OWN - but otherwise won't really stop hizamaru from trying to help undress him. he'll allow for it, shrugging off his jacket and his shirt. it looks like there's also a bit of a mark across his neck, a line as though something (wwx) definitely very suddenly clotheslined him. but otherwise he doesn't seem to be too marked up.

he'll help with his pants, easing them off his hips. no further injuries aside from a matching burn on his right calf - similar to the mark that's on his right palm.]

See? I'm fine. I can still use myself.

[sure,]

[Hmmm. No, he still doesn't like the fucking Red Rover clothesline, or the burn on the calf. His fingers ghost over Higekiri's neck, and then take a dodged, soft pass along the leg around the burn.]

Please let me wrap it, elder brother. [He bends down to brush his lips through the middle of Higekiri's chest, kissing apologetically.] So it won't be uncomfortable.

It isn't right for such a pristine treasure to be damaged like this.

[soft as the touch is, higekiri doesn't seem to mind - doesn't wince too badly since not much pressure is being put on it. he just laughs a little bit at hizamaru's words though]

Oh? Am I uglier from it?

[he doesn't sound like he actually cares that much but he has to tease]

[WHY IS ANIJA SO MEANNNNNN AAAAAAAAAAAA

Almost immediately, he jerks his head up and looks mortified.] N-No, elder brother! You're beautiful! No matter what damage you sustain, you will always be a beautiful treasure! [He dives forward and kisses Higekiri fiercely, and then he peppers Higekiri's face with apologetic kisses, down over the jaw and the neck.]

I would never think you were ugly, elder brother.
