[001] working after hours

[Here's a place you wouldn't expect Touya to be: on a roof.]

[He's looking a little different today, too. Specifically, he has a rather large pair of black wings in addition to his small ones, and his hair is significantly longer (read: it drags). He's surveying the village, looking for anyone who looks as though they may need help, protection, et cetera.]

[And, of course, he's looking for his dearest Yue. Touya can sense him, certainly, but he'll wait to make his presence known after Yue realizes he's there. They shared the same blood, after all--it was only a matter of time before Yue came to see him.]

[But until then, he's content to talk to anyone at all. His strength has rapidly returned since his illness, after all.]



((Touya has been AU'd from a fic where Yue turns him into a guardian. Have fun kids. ♥))

[The snow was quite thick on the ground and midnight well past by the time Yue had given in and gone to get some rest, but he was still up early enough to go out for a morning flight over the village. He dislikes snow while it falls, but once it's on the ground he has to admit its beauty, especially as the first light of morning reflects off of it.

He notices some rather... odd behavior in the village as he flies, though, more people moving about than he's become accustomed to, and in different ways. (The singing is definitely unusual.) Could it be that one of the "experiments" he's been warned of is beginning?

Accordingly, Yue turns back to the house again, intending to fetch the journal he'd left behind and see if there is any information to be found. As he approaches the house he slows, sensing an unusual and yet somehow bizarrely familiar presence there, to match the dark figure perched on the roof. In his usual spot. What on earth...?

Once close enough he flares his wings, pausing to hover at the level of the roof but just beyond it, eyes narrowed in a puzzled frown. It feels like Touya's magic, restored and enhanced in ways that should never have been possible, and his physical appearance is much the same; the wings are a distinctly odd touch, leaving the guardian wonder if someone is mocking him somehow.]


...Touya...?

Both. 83

Yue. [He smiles as though the sun has just come up after days of darkness. It feels as though Yue's been gone for days, even if he'd only stepped out for a moment. Touya lifts off the roof and floats closer to Yue, continuing to smile.]

I was wondering where you had gone.

[Yue's eyes widen slightly at that -- both the tone of voice and the behavior are unusual for Touya, and then the fact that his abilities suddenly mirror Yue's own? It has to be some kind of trick. An impostor with a similar enough presence that it can fool him. Or is it one of the Malnosso "experiments" he'd been told about?

Either way, this is... weird. He automatically draws back as Touya approaches, wings lifting higher with mild agitation.]


...I was out.

[identity profile] guardiancomplex.livejournal.com 2010-11-23 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Touya stops in mid-air, floating above the ground now instead of the roof. He looks hurt, confused. If there's one person he knows, it's Yue--and he looks almost... annoyed at Touya's being there.]

Yeah... I see that now. I guess I just missed you, so the minutes seemed to drag on.

[Touya looks awkwardly at the roof. What did he do to upset Yue?]

Are you upset because we didn't have sex last night?

[Give him a minute.]

[Where did that come from?!

Yue drifts back another couple of feet, utterly baffled shock clear to see on his normally-expressionless face.]


We didn't what?!

[identity profile] guardiancomplex.livejournal.com 2010-11-23 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... [Great, now he just seems more upset. That must have been it.]

We didn't... make love? [Is that a better way to phrase it? Sometimes he was so blunt... Obviously his love couldn't take being so open about their relationship.]

If you had wanted to, you could have just woken me up. [He smiles and floats closer to Yue. Maybe some midair cuddling will do the trick.] You know I can't say no to you, love.

[He doesn't know Touya, but anyone standing on a roof with wings that large deserves at least a passing glance.

Especially in this weather. Sanji slows down, brow already caught in a mid-arch]

[identity profile] guardiancomplex.livejournal.com 2010-11-23 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Touya looks down, watching Sanji crossing the road, and smiles when he realizes he's being watched. He spreads his wings to their full span (which yes... is nearly as wide as the house) and drops in a controlled glide down to where the other man is.]

Need help with anything?

[identity profile] oda-hates-me.livejournal.com 2010-11-23 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm good on this end.

[Why does HE get the awesome wings? Sanji's almost jealous]

But not everyday I see a wing span like that.

[identity profile] guardiancomplex.livejournal.com 2010-11-23 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Touya laughs.] Yeah, it'd be a little hard to walk around a house like this. It was pretty bad just getting out of the bedroom.

[He smiles and tilts his head a little to the side.] I haven't met many people here. ...well, I don't really know anybody here but Yue. I'm Touya.

[identity profile] oda-hates-me.livejournal.com 2010-11-23 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. I see. You're a New Feather.

[He smirks lightly at the description of dealing with those wings]

Welcome to Luceti. The name's Sanji.

[identity profile] guardiancomplex.livejournal.com 2010-11-23 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm new. I got here... [He thinks.] Four days ago? Maybe five. It all kind of blurs together.

[Possibly because his darling wasn't there, as far as he remembers. Maybe he was...? If Yue was around, no doubt they were living a happy, joined life. So why worry about the details?]

How long have you been here Sanji? Oh, I'm not keeping you from anything, am I?

serey, what is this I don't even-

[little!Gin, the alarmingly tragic looking orphaned child, just happens to be passing by. He managed to get a decent pair of shoes in town and a jacket that's much too big, but this town is still really... really strange in his book. Doesn't help that there's a creepy guy in black with a power mullet sitting on the roof of one of the houses. While he doesn't sense any reiatsu, it's not necessarily a telling sign here, he's found.

Is this guy supposed to be death? A demon? Some kind of really weird Hollow? Gin isn't sure, but he's fairly certain he doesn't want to cross its path. He's currently trying to creep past it and back toward the woods without being noticed.]

This, Mika, is a nine car accident. Keep watching, you know you want to.

[Oh no! A tragic-looking, scared little boy in oversized clothing! *GUARDIAN SENSES TINGLING*]

[Touya's brow creases in concern. A child shouldn't be walking around by himself in the snow, especially not into the forest. There were things in forests that led people off cliffs were dangerous for kids.]

[Without pausing, Touya spreads his wings and jumps off of the roof. He glides straight for the child, hoping he can get to him before he has to chase the kid through the trees.]

Can't... loook.... away......... it burnsssssss

[identity profile] sly-little-fox.livejournal.com 2010-11-23 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[No sooner does the thought spark in his mind than the darkly mulleted man spreads his wings and- it's coming right for me, isn't it.

Gin is off like a shot. He doesn't know shunpo yet or you wouldn't even blink before he's gone, but he sure moves fast for a scrawny little thing.

If he can just make it to the edge of the forest, he's sure he can lose him in the trees. Those wings aren't made for tight spaces, thank goodness. He glances over his shoulder just long enough to see the man giving chase and with effort, Gin manages to fling his book over his shoulder, hoping for a distraction at the least, a good solid hit at best.]

[identity profile] guardiancomplex.livejournal.com 2010-11-24 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, wait! [Touya stops dead at the trees and lands. It takes a bit of concentration, but Touya eventually dismisses his wings and gives chase into the forest. Dang, this kid moves fast.]

[The child is moving away rather quickly, despite being a little kid. The book catches him on the side of head, but it didn't hurt him so much as make him stop to pick up the book.]


I'm not going to hurt you, and you dropped something!

[Threw it, really.]

[identity profile] sly-little-fox.livejournal.com 2010-11-24 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Unfortunately, he's still a child. Childlike steps, childlike endurance, and there's still snow on the ground. Not exactly difficult to track, even if he loses sight of him.

Luckily though, the book seems to have caught the guy, slowing him a bit. Gin's a ways off, stopping behind a tree to catch his breath.]

[identity profile] guardiancomplex.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Touya slows his pace and looks down at the snow to figure out where the child ran to. He wouldn't last very long alone in the forest when it was so cold...]

[He tracks the footprints to behind a tree, and decides that the best way to catch the boy is to sneak up on him. He floats up through the tops of the trees and floats over to the tree the boy's hiding behind--and drops down in front of them.]


Hey there, you're pretty fast.

[Action]

[identity profile] guardiancomplex.livejournal.com 2010-11-24 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Touya crouches down on the roof, smiling as he watches the child in his front yard making a snowman. He looks so happy...]

[He spreads his larger wings and glides down off of the roof. Even though he isn't wearing shoes, the snow doesn't seem to bother him.]


Did you need a carrot for its nose?

[Action]

[identity profile] eternallysinned.livejournal.com 2010-11-24 04:35 am (UTC)(link)


Yeah! Maybe a scarf too. What do you think?

[Action]

[identity profile] guardiancomplex.livejournal.com 2010-11-26 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Touya tilts his head at the tiny snowman, smiling at how adorable it is that he and Yue have children making snowmen in their yard--like they were a kind married couple.]

Wait here, I'll be right back. [Touya dismisses his wings and heads inside the house.]
