šŸ›Œ

Send šŸ›Œ for our muses to wake up in bed together after having had sex together for the first time the night before.

That was…something.

Itachi wakes several hours past sunrise, a warmth in his joints and muscles. The sheets are askew, his shirt is gone– actually, all his clothing is gone.

For a few seconds he panics, because beside him is the Lucian that’s been befriending him for some time. Then, he remembers he has had his own quarters in the district for about a year or so. The chances of getting discovered are slim.

Was this…normal, where he came from? Could Itachi even debate that, considering the night before?

ā€œ…Noctis.ā€ He tries to wake him, a hand on his shoulder.

It’s much more difficult than it looks.

– and the rest that i may have not included here, remember you are no less loved; thank you for sticking around and liking my take on Noct! Ā -dei

“Hey, Happy Birthday! I made Memory Lanes for you– they’re not as good as the ones my Chancellor makes, but I guarantee they’re edible!”

Memory what now–

Chancellor?

That’s an awful lot of terms he isn’t familiar with for a birthday gift. Not to mention he didn’t know the boy, but…

Itachi kneels, to take the small box from him, offering a smile.

ā€œThank you.ā€ He’ll make sure they’re eaten. Once they’re deemed safe of course, thanks to inherent shinobi paranoia.Ā 

āƒ Mussing their hair

Acts of Affection

āƒ Mussing their hair

Physical affection was something that, as a whole…Itachi was unaccustomed to. It didn’t help that he’d previously only two people in his life who dared to touch him in such a way. One, his mentor and best friend, and the other, his adorable, innocent baby brother.

Everyday, he learns something new about Noctis. Whether it’s his abilities, his royal lineage, what KingĀ and PrinceĀ actually mean, or…common gestures of affection.Ā 

Itachi knowsĀ the hand coming his way isn’t a threat, he’s spent enough time with the man as it is. But that doesn’t stop the light flinch, and the way his eyes screw shut as the rough hand does a good job of messing up his hair, strands from the ponytail coming loose, some even free.Ā 

He’s left at a loss of what to do, does he untie and fix it or leave it as is?

ā€œToo much?ā€ Noctis asks, in that gravelly voice of his, withdrawing his hand respectfully. Yet Itachi finds himself softly apologizing as he tries to smooth his hair down, because Noctis didn’t mean him any harm.Ā 

rexcrystallis:Ā 

Perhaps he needs to clarify.
Noctis hums as he selects his word,Ā 
helping Itachi pick up stuff. He hands them
over uncomplaining.

ā€œā€¦I meant, no beasts wander at night?
No daemons here?ā€

ā€œ…Nothing that would warrant staying home, no.ā€ He thinks that’s what Noctis means. There were some animals that were nocturnal, but nothing extremely dangerous. Especially no daemons.

rexcrystallis:

Noct listens with fascination. He nods along to
show Itachi he understands what’s being explained
to him– nothing too complicated yet, so it’s easy to
follow.Ā ā€œInteresting. Unless somehow the target
is expecting to be attacked….or can’t be killed.
Combat-practical.ā€

He considers, and he’s very much curious of this
world too, and the creatures in it.Ā ā€œSay. You don’t have
dangerous nights here, do you?ā€

ā€œNighttime provides low visibility. But there are abilities that can get around that.ā€ That was about it. Nothing inherently more dangerous came out at night.Ā 

Their training seems to be over. He’ll begin putting weapons away.Ā 

rexcrystallis:

ā€œAhh, so two kinds of seals,ā€ he muses.Ā ā€œOne by hand,
one written. Kind of like runes and inscriptions from where
I’m from.ā€ Then he’s familiar with the concept, though Noct
isn’t sure if all the same basic ideas apply. He’ll ask that later.
ā€œSeals that never disappear off a target…could you elaborate?ā€
He asks his friend.

ā€œI surmise the seal is infused with chakra. It remains on the target. Perhaps not necessarily visible. A marker, such as…ā€ A tap to his chin, as he hums in thought.Ā ā€œA scent mark that does not disappear.ā€Ā 

ā€œIt allows the caster to teleport to the target’s location, regardless of distance. Death would be the only escape.ā€

rexcrystallis:

ā€œThat hands thing, right? Alright, I think I got it.ā€
He accepts the kukri when it’s handed back, and Noct
allows it to disappear.Ā ā€œBut really – genetic ability is a
pretty accurate way to describe it. But where I come from,
only royals and nobles have some access to magic.
Commonfolk usually don’t, unless we share with them.ā€

ā€œMm, double meaning. I meant written seals this time. One of the most famous techniques uses a written seal that never disappears off its target.ā€ But Lord Second had made many techniques forbidden at the end of his reign, at least he’s read so.

ā€œThat is where your magic comes in, I suppose. You have the ability to share.ā€ Itachi could not share his Sharingan without physically giving his eyes away.Ā 

Royals….when he hears Royals, he thinks of Daimyos and their relatives.
