["YOU WERE BEING A BUTTHEAD" he does not say, but it's implied so clearly he might as well have tbh.
Still, he follows that up with a softer kiss to Kashuu's cheek before he lays his head back down on Kashuu's chest. It's not an apology, because he still doesn't like the thought of Kashuu "belonging", even figuratively, to someone
else--but it's his way of saying that he'll settle down, albeit grudgingly.]I'll never understand why you like him so much. [Grumble grumble, how many times has he said those exact words... the difference is that now he's muttering them into Kashuu's skin, somehow managing to make even lazy barnacling seem possessive... this is what Kashuu gets for not only signing up for this, but starting it in the first place.] But I guess it's fine as long as he doesn't go around telling people you're "his" or something.
[spoilers yams that's exactly what he's been doing
On a more serious note, though:]
...What does it even mean? Are you going to give him your sword?
no subject
But he seems placated by all of this too, at least. It's even easier to relax now, and he settles comfortably against Yasusada. He picks up where he'd left off, running his fingers through his hair, but it's just a lazy gesture now rather than an attempted distraction.]
There's no way he does. [FOOLISH FOOL.] And I like him 'cause he's a good guy. He just has a hard time showing it.
[He's also a genuine asshole sometimes but so is Kashuu, so it works out... Their respective flaws are alarmingly compatible.
His expression does turn a little serious in turn, though.]
No way. There's no one in this city I'd trust to have that but you. [ALL OF THIS BLUNT HONESTY TODAY... But it's true, really. He'd rather never give his sword to anyone period, but if he had to pick one person to leave it with, he'd pick Yasusada.]
It's mostly metaphoric, I think? I'll just be there when he needs me, fight for him if I need to, stuff like that.
no subject
...Even if Baren is a genuine asshole like 85% of the time.
It's the reassurance that truly mollifies him, though. He doesn't say it, but it's clear in the way he relaxes against Kashuu, brushing his thumb gently over Kashuu's collarbone. He isn't smiling, since he doesn't want to think about any circumstances in which he'd need to be wielding Kashuu's vessel instead of Kashuu, but he appreciates it all the same.]
You'd do that anyway. [He doesn't sound petulant as he says it, a true miracle... but he means it as one of his blatantly honest compliments. Kashuu's loyal and a good friend--he'd do the same for anybody he truly cared about. If Baren needs that much fealty to confirm it, then he's an idiot, but... at least Yasusada can't begrudge him that.]
no subject
["It's just what friends do". But Baren is Baren, and he won't begrudge a friend a little extra reassurance if that's what they need. He really seemed to need it at the time, and it had reminded him of an earlier moment when he'd been asked to swear not to lie. Some people are just like that, he supposes. With all of his flaws, he's certainly in no position to judge.
But he hums a little after saying so, dropping his hand a little so he can trace over the shell of Yasusada's ear and down the side of his cheek.]
...Well, it'll be good if I don't have to worry about that any time soon. I don't even wanna get out of bed any time soon. You're staying here, too.
[DEMANDING.]
no subject
[But it's spoken without heat; it's more about his desire to defend Kashuu at all times than it is any real condemnation of Baren himself.
He can't be too upset when they're like this, though. He mumbles something that sounds vaguely like "feels nice", giving in to the urge to let his eyes drift shut.
He doesn't open them even as he snorts, though, tapping his thumb on Kashuu's collarbone in a lazy sort of reprimand.]
How come you can say that and it's fine but when I say it you have to make fun of me, huh?
no subject
But he'll let that thread of discussion rest, since he'd much rather focus on Yasusada right now, anyway. The weight of him so close is a constant - and needed - reminder that the nightmare of the last three weeks is finally, finally over. They made it through, even separated. And that's a lot.]
'Cause you'd live in your bed if you could, duh.
[Only rolling out for kendo practice - that'd probably be an ideal life for Yasusada. He huffs, half amused, and presses his lips to the top of Yasusada's head.]
You can sleep as long as you want this time, though. I'll make something good for breakfast when we get up, even if it's like, nine at night. Pro-mise.
[A little celebration is fine, too.]
no subject
[IS HE TEASING NOW or is he seriously considering it this way?? THE WORLD WILL NEVER KNOW.
Either way, he's apparently content with his newfound captivity, since he doesn't move.]
Hm, you didn't forget how to cook while I was gone? I'm impressed. [Okay, now he's teasing.]
no subject
He also flicks Yasusada's forehead at that, albeit lightly.]
Jerk. You're gonna end up making your own special breakfast at this rate.
[Untrue... Even if he looks huffy, he's glad to be able to settle back into normalcy with Yasusada.]
no subject
You'd better be prepared to carry me around while I do, then. [HIS FOOT HATES HIM KASHUU have you forgotten already, gosh!! Rude.
He quiets down for a minute, then, and while he still doesn't open his eyes or move in any way, it's clear from his demeanor that he's settling down for real.
When he speaks again, it's soft, a quiet admission protected by this fragile peace.]
...I love you too. [He knows it's unnecessary to say it out loud, knows that Kashuu already knows it perfectly well, but still.] More than anything.
no subject
[No, he's definitely going to spoil Yasusada with breakfast in bed, since he knows (or is at least pretty sure) that he'll wake up first.
This softness is really welcome, though. What a butthead, daring to be so adorable... There's a little laugh, feather-light, and he smooths down Yasusada's hair one final time.]
Go to sleep already, would you?
[Before he has the chance to get tsun, dammit.]
