Maybe Sakamoto is too gentle of a man, he's felt just as much pity for other side, watching them die in the dirt despite all the wicked things they've done. And yet still, even despite his friends chagrin and harsh words, he doesn't feel guilty.
He just feels sad.]
I just want it all ta end. I don't think fightin's the way to go about it- Not that kind.
[Sakamoto awkwardly touches the back of his neck with his injured hand.]
Not like I can anymore! But, eh.
People like you are extraordinary, y'know?
[They hardly exist, anymore.]
You believe in things. People, ideals.
The folks involved in all o' this mess, on both sides... They believe in money.
[He then embraces Zura, holding him close as if to comfort him though he knows he's only comforting himself.]
I wanna live in a world where we can all get along. Where we're all different but happy! A world where nobody has to die.
[A hollow laugh leaves his throat.]
I know that's just sounds crazy. But I'm gonna give it my all.
I'm gonna do my best to get as close as I can.
[Violence eats away at him, there's just no sense in it. Why deal in blood when you can deal in cash? One of those currencies is just too damn valuable...]
[ Katsura doesn't mind the embrace— in fact, Sakamoto probably feels his body relax into his hold. Zura wasn't one who was against violence as much as his friend who seemed to be a complete pacifist at times when it came to fist and weapon combat. Tatsuma was free to believe what he wanted to, but he was wrong.
Katsura downs the drink so his hands are free. He's not hardly drunk, but he is starting to feel looser and more subdued. Sakamoto has a great idea in mind.. but it's unrealistic. There's no way it can happen— not with how depraved people can be; not how cruel life can be. Not when the things that are so precious to you have been snatched up in an instant. It's things like that which prove to Katsura that there is no pleasant utopia where everyone can get along. Love and peace doesn't just come; it has to be fought for and with a painful price.
He's touching on a sensitive topic of conversation for Katsura, but.. Zura holds an extreme amount of patience with him. Hearing Tatsuma speak like this was encouraging even if Katsura knew there was no way it could never be. Just the way he called him extraordinary, well. Sakamoto is pretty extraordinary himself for having such a colossal amount of optimism.
Katsura lulls his head back, against the crook of Sakamoto's neck and against his chest to look up at him. ]
—There are people who aren't like you, Sakamoto. And they just increase as the days go by and they feel more hopeless.
[ He practically snuggles into his friend, feeling a slight buzz. ]
So don't change. [ even if he disagrees with you. ]
But he knows what they want, and how they operate. Their ruthless selfishness is something that is common to Amanto and humans, the struggle to succeed and amass as much as possible is nothing new. Everyone cheats, so Sakamoto does the same.
This is the best way.
Or so he thinks.]
I know that people are scum.
[Sakamoto's glass lies on the table, untouched. Instead, his hands busy themselves with his friend's body, one burying into dark locks and the other keeping stead.]
[ Katsura lets out a sigh. One thing was certain: they both never took their eyes off something when they really focused on it. Katsura was focused on saving Japan, but Sakamoto's goal was much bigger and much more complicated. He commended Tatsuma for that, but didn't find it something that could ever be accomplished.
Because Tatsuma wanted to save the entire universe. It was absolutely selfless, where Katsura was a bit selfish in his ways.
It feels good; feeling his friend's fingers rub into his tight shoulders. Katsura feels his own arm looping around Sakamoto's back and around his waist just so he could be a little closer to him.
[Sakamoto understands that his goal will never be achieved within his lifetime, or ever perhaps, but this is why it's what he aims for. This way, he will always be working towards something.]
I dunno why I got all excited, talkin' it up like that!
[He huddles closer to Zura. Maybe they shouldn't be touching like this, they have before, but that was in the midst of rain and sleet and snow with little to cover themselves with but each other. Sakamoto turns red not knowing why, not understanding that he's embarrassed because this is something lovers do more often than friends.]
I know you love this place.
[Zura will never come to space with him. This is temporary.]
[ No, it doesn't encourage Katsura to leave the place he has devoted himself to in the least, but it does get his mind going and thinking idly on Sakamoto's ideas and goals. A small chuff of laughter escapes his lips at the mere idea of everyone living in harmony and getting along— though to Sakamoto he's just chuckling at something unexplained. That's just not how it goes and it'll never be that way. It's something he wishes too, but he has his mind set on more realistic dreams.
Sakamoto confirms exactly what he is thinking. He loves this place too much.
Zura's cheeks are also red, but it's mainly from beginning to feel more of the buzz. He isn't one to drink very much, but isn't one against drinking either. He finds enjoyment in it too, even if he may turn right back around and tell others how it is poison to the soul.
He reaches over Sakamoto, placing his palm that was around his friend on the bed to steady himself while the other hand and stretches it to obtain the glass. How very elegant.
Then, he simmers right back into his cozy seat against Tatsuma, idly sipping from his third drink. ]
—I know you love space. [ He says quietly. He knows he could never get Sakamoto back here; back to join his group of rebels to change Japan. He's not sure what good any of it means to Sakamoto anymore since.. he can't very well use a sword anymore anyway. What does it matter if they are banned to him? ]
[Sakamoto's lips are centimeter's from Zura's forehead, parted into something like a twisted smile. Just hearing the word fills him with a breathless kind of joy, because of what it means to him.
The scent that wafts into Sakamoto's nostrils is a variation on a theme, artificial and delicate in nature, something floral and very beautiful. It's not nearly as cheap as the one he's used to, an odor meant to conceal the stench of misfortune and dissatisfaction, one that often lingers on his clothes even the morning after.
[ No, isn't just a sad pretty girl. He's a sad, pretty man.. who conceals himself rather well when it really hurts. At least he is usually genuine, especially when it comes to his friends.
This third glass is about half empty and Katsura feels.. comfortable. Not exactly tipsy but not exactly drunk either. His gaze is a bit heavy, peering up at Sakamoto. ]
Why wouldn't it be? [ not the answer Sakamoto was expecting, probably. Sakamoto is his dear friend; especially with the passing of Gintoki and Takasugi, who was a lost cause at this rate. It only encouraged him to cling to what he could trust and love with all of his heart.
Was it romantic love? Katsura didn't know, but he didn't spend much thought analyzing it like he often did with other things. It didn't matter. Sakamoto was Sakamoto and Sakamoto knew him as Katsura. Did it really have to be love or friendship? Couldn't it just be them?
Zura finishes off the glass competely and doesn't let the empty cup go, but does drape that one arm around Sakamoto's middle. Tatsuma probably feels his body erupt with a small and quiet hiccup. ]
[ Katsura pulls away for a moment so he can look at him straight in the eyes, an unreadable expression crossing his face. Was he doing something to make Sakamoto feel uncomfortable? Maybe Zura was the one crossing the line here and not Sakamoto... should they not do stuff like this? ]
Haaaa—? Sakamoto... you mean to tell me you're... [ you're completely straight..?! Well..... he doesn't finish his sentence. He figures Sakamoto can piece it together on his own. But there's no way. No way somebody like Sakamoto is just flat out heterosexual.. right? ]
[ What did it matter, though? Gay, straight, bi.. whatever. The affection that Sakamoto was giving him was genuine. He knew that. He blinks his lashes for awhile. ]
Ah. I won't judge you. You are free to be as you are— but.. [ but.. His voice quiets, hovering closer to Sakamoto to where their noses nearly touch. ]
[It's so much better than anything he's ever had, though he fails to admit that. He doesn't think it's fair to burden his grieving friend with his own petty issues, things he can't really explain.
(Because he hasn't thought about them at length. He never does.)
Sadness is less productive than joy.]
It's not 'cause you're a guy, really, I've-
[He reaches out to tenderly trace the outline of Zura's lower lip with his thumb again, imagining how his own tongue would feel against it. In an even quieter voice, though he doesn't sound ashamed, necessarily:]
I've looked, before. C'mon! You know a guy like me doesn't care about that kinda stuff. I just care.
[What he's trying to say is that he's never been allowed to get this close before. That it's exciting and he wants more of it, but he can't ask because it'd be too selfish.
[ Katsura feels his lips curl upward in a small smile when he feels Sakamoto brush his thumb over his lip, another hiccup bubbling within the back of his throat. Sakamoto is admitting to him something kinda big, isn't he? It's surprising, really. Zura just figured he was the guy that has done it all; slept with any and all kinds. Somehow, he finds this very fond. Somebody wants to be close and intimate to him and it's.. special. Katsura didn't run from his emotions like what he was feeling unlike Gintoki who guarded himself carefully. It was kind of pathetic; how big and open Katsura's soul could be. It was almost dangerous. His heart warms and it carries up his face, fingers idly toying with Sakamoto's clothing— right along the seam near his chest.
He's feeling pretty good, but.. if he is understanding correctly, that means Katsura was his first guy to be intimate with, wasn't it? That made him feel.. special. What did it exactly mean? He didn't really want to sit and analyze it right now and instead responds with his gut feeling. His hands venture, running up Sakamoto's shoulders and resting there. ]
I had no idea. [ —that you didn't do stuff like this often with men. He leans forward and bumps his head against Sakamoto's, practically speaking against him. ]
We're having a good time. Aren't we? [ In the midst of a sad season for both of them. ]
Ha haa-a! [ Some kind of laughter boils up inside of Katsura. Maybe it was feeling nervous; maybe it was the alcohol; or maybe it was just the fact that somebody who could be considered such a scoundrel was being so sweet to him and giving him such delicate attention. He's been doing things like this all week an honestly.
It's helping. It isn't fixing the sadness in his heart, but it's helping. Katsura practically throws his arms around Sakamoto's neck, smiling against his friend's cheek. ]
I was wondering if you would ask or if you would just do it— I don't know with you.
[Sakamoto has to laugh at that, mostly because he finds that obnoxious guffaw adorable. He takes Zura's comfortable gesture as permission to be closer, pressing a kiss to the other's cheek and several more further down his neck.]
I guess you're right! I'm known for bein' quite the rascal.
[Tenderly, whispered against Zura's now wet skin:]
You were the one who came home early, though. What happened? Tough day at work?
[Sakamoto doesn't think for a second that it could be for him.]
[ The kisses feel nice, and considering how light his head is feeling like it is up in the cloud about now, the little touches only tickled to him. So, he starts giggling again, but hushes up quickly once Sakamoto asks him a question.
Oh. He had noticed that? He had, hadn't he.. Appearing a bit shy, he replies hastily: ]
A..ah. N—No reason. I... was constipated and I couldn't continue the rest of my day until I took care of that. [ He pulls back enough to look Sakamoto in the face again, letting their lips brush together, pursing them slightly in a very small kiss. His face was turning red again.. mainly cause he didn't want to admit the real reason. ]
How is it possible for a man to listen so intently to someone's voice and barely process the words? Sakamoto lets himself savor the way his friend's voice sounds, so deep and deeply content. It rings about in his ears and sends a pleasant shiver down his spine, because it sounds happy.
Not the happiest it could be, but happy.]
You're sure, though? That's all.
[Sakamoto takes one of Zura's hands, gently smoothing over it with his fingers, a tender way of checking for any injuries. Soreness, cuts, bruises, what have you...
[ Katsura hiccups and buries himself right into Sakamoto's neck, though he is quickly pulled back when he feels his hands being held tenderly by rugged fingers and a compliment ringing in his ears. He just stares at Sakamoto before also looking at his fingers, admiring the color himself.
Oh, he did pick a lovely shade, didn't he? ]
A lot of customers say the same thing. I went with my gut instinct. [ He looks at Sakamoto's fingers in response, lifting a brow. ]
I think you could pull this color off very well. [ let him paint your nails one day.. ]
[ Katsura pushes his tongue into his cheek, as if he is giving this a good amount of thought. His hands, in return, grip Sakamoto's palms as he leans in some more, letting the very tip of their noses touch again. His eyes are closed when he speaks this, as if he is waiting to be kissed. ]
Green. [ Why green? Was there a reason for green? ]
Like a dark forest, or right when the leaves are ripe. You seem like an autumn to me. [ He suppresses another hiccup from erupting within the back of his throat before finally dipping his head forward and pressing a kiss against his friend's lips. ]
[ His kiss his fleeting, attentive eyes focusing on Sakamoto's, trying to decipher what could possibly be hidden behind those sapphire eyes— so bright— hiding all sorts of creative thoughts like a veil.
Scheming thoughts, too.
He can only tilt his head to the side and press his cheek further into Tatsuma's warm palm, shutting his eyes pleasantly while doing so. His lips curved upward in a smile, feeling slightly giddy still which made it easy for him to ease the typical stern expression off of his face and actually relax for a change. He sways, very lightly, as if some melody was stuck in his head until Sakamoto stops speaking and ends with that with some laughter that stirs him slightly.
Katsura knew he was important to a handful of people, but he didn't verbally hear it enough. He snorts a puff of air from his nostrils as he lifts his head. ]
I'm always preparing something. A way out, a means of escape— [ His hands delicately sweep down his shoulders, trailing along Sakamoto's arms; both at the same time. ]
A meal for a loved one, a place of refuge for those in need— [ how sweet. ] An... explosive for a particular plan. Hahaaa--
Though, haaa. [ His eyes focus on the duvet they're sitting on. ]
Sometimes I surprise even myself of the outcome.
[ Katsura leans in again, pressing his weight against Sakamoto, hands meeting his friends' wrists and fingers curling around them. His feet touch the ground under them, pushing slightly, enough to— hopefully— get Sakamoto to fall backwards on his back. Zura will fall with him and climb more comfortably on the bed. He'll just position himself on top of him and hover, the edges of his hair brushing down on their bodies. ]
No matter the circumstance. [ His hands have found a better place to hold; and this time they're holding Sakamoto's hands instead of his wrists. ]
