[uh sometime after the threesome i guess

but higekiri will seem to be thinking about something as he wanders around - though he blinks when he notices his brother approaching. he offers an easy smile, forsaking the usual bow that he gives everyone else in greeting, and tilts his head]


Brother... have you noticed a trend in the words that are inked into our human bodies?

Mistakes, isn't it? Even if the person wearing them may not see them as such.

[higekiri watches hizamaru's expression at that, curious and contemplative at the same time]

I've seen a few... someone wore one about harming their sibling.
banzais: (» how we got here)

[personal profile] banzais 2019-10-16 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... I don't know. To force us to become more open with each other?

[and he peers at hizamaru then]

What was yours again?

[did he really forget or is he making hizamaru say it himself, hm]
banzais: (» i will be fine)

[close as higekiri's watching, there's no way that he'd miss that flinch, the obvious way that hizamaru doesn't want to admit it.]

... it took me a bit to remember mine - it's a name that's very old, you know? But I thought it was an odd reminder, because I didn't think that it was a mistake... Wasn't cutting you down just answering a prayer to the gods?

[isn't that all he had to do, in order to free his own smith? but now there's something thoughtful in his gaze. he doesn't look angry, or bitter about hizamaru's words - though his gaze isn't as open and easily pleased as it normally is]

Do you feel guilty?

[over the way he was forged, born, created into the world]
banzais: (» tell me that i might)

[personal profile] banzais 2019-10-16 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ . . . higekiri seems thoughtful at that, listening to hizamaru's explanation. taking on guilt for something that he had no choice in, couldn't have acted on himself, and for that to be a mistake so grave that it's the one that he wears like a brand -

higekiri raises a hand up, letting it rest atop hizamaru's head - and then his fingers encourage him downward, pulling him closer so that it's easier for higekiri to press a kiss to his forehead]


The gods must have truly loved me, to give me such a kind younger brother.

[and for once, just once, higekiri's spirits sound just the slightest bit dampened - even if it might be hard to parse through the warmth in his voice]
banzais: (» i'll stay awake)

[personal profile] banzais 2019-10-17 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[oh - higekiri just laughs softly at that, a lighter noise again as he lets one hand fall on his brother's back to pat it reassuringly]

Mm. You know I feel the same. Even if our family grows, I am relieved when I am at your side.

[hizamaru is the one he has history with, after all? but higekiri just laughs again]

Perhaps it was just this pesky body making me thing of complicated things.
banzais: (» the sun is rising)

[personal profile] banzais 2019-10-17 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[this little brother of his is such a mess - but higekiri just laughs a little bit at that and when hizamaru lowers his arm again, higekiri will reach out with his hand, index finger running underneath hizamaru's eye as if to try to wipe any remaining tear tracks away]

... I wonder if it's really you who needs to be forgiven...
banzais: (» i will be fine;)

[ . . . ]

Is a sin truly a sin, if the body that bears it doesn't remember being wrong?

Or is the body at fault for not remembering the scar?

[it's just more thinking out loud - more contemplation as he seems to think about what he's not saying out loud to hiza. he adjusts his hand, letting his palm rest on hiza's cheek, thumb brush the tears away more confidently - before just allowing his hand to rest there, holding his face carefully]

Mm, I suppose all will be well regardless.
banzais: (» are you listening to me?)

[personal profile] banzais 2019-10-18 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, I know. [and higekiri's hand on hizamaru's face will just briefly, gently pinch some of the skin there between his fingers, expression lightening] I am gentle with everyone except you, after all.

[he shouldn't just say that. he really shouldn't.

but he seems like there's just a little bit more on his mind... but he supposes that if it's in the past, it's not worth thinking about - or at least nothing worth burdening his brother with. so instead he's happy to tease again, just a little bit mean]
