Fuda # 4 [Action/video] Failure is the only option

[idealism]

[OOC: Pretend I posted this days ago! D: Tsuzuki had a little run-in with River earlier. Being him, he thought he'd limp stagger walk the injuries off on the way home. He's still kind of dazed about all of it, really. It might just be the blood-loss speaking.]

[The feed comes on by accident, showing a very quiet shinigami. He's carrying one wing under his arm as if it was a newspaper, and his shirt is no longer white. Tsuzuki winces as he bends down to untie his shoes, but he'd determined to be as quiet as he can about going inside.]

Comments

[Action] <33 Like I need an excuse to buy that DVD set and finally ditch my VHSes

[They absolutely will not. Hisoka isn't about to listen to Draco poke fun of Tsuzuki's disheveledness if it can be at all avoided.

It's just that having Tsuzuki there, so close and so relaxed and so open, is starting to subtly affect Hisoka's pace. His petting slows significantly under the weight of Tsuzuki's drowsiness.]

[Action] <33 wouldn't you have to watch them in english dub to get good screenshots?

[His dedication to appearing cool to Draco is commendable. Whether Hisoka works up the nerve to comment on Tsuzuki's appearance/wings in time, on the other hand...

Still not entirely asleep, Tsuzuki's hand squeezes Hisoka's. He feels like home, and belonging, and everything would be okay if-

A door closes loudly in the building and Tsuzuki jolts awake. It takes him a few seconds to realize where he is, since it's not his bed, nor on the desk during lunch.]

Ah... 'Soka?

[Action] <33 Thus the need for DVDs! Multilanguage audio! :D Also the DA post got big, but you know-

[OOC: - threadjacking's always cool with me if it's cool with you. :D Or, you know, if you wanted them to NOT be attached by an invisible cord that's cool too. xD]

[whssfhjkhgkldgiovWHAT'SGOINGON?? Hisoka jumps a half-second after Tsuzuki, frightened and jumpy without a clear source behind it.] --What?? Did something happen?

[Action] <33 but the English version makes me whimper.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[ooc: Threadjacking is totally okay with me. Hisoka's allowed to jump in on anything Tsuzuki's up to. :D I might need a PM if there's a thread with Soka I shouldn't miss, though!]

[Tsuzuki rubs his eyes to wake up fully, then offers Hisoka a crooked smile. He feels much better already.] Not sure. I can go and take a look. [It's his knee-jerk reaction to offer comfort when his partner isn't calm, after all.]

[Action] <33 That's just because it's terrible. *patpat*

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[Damn you and your damn panic, Tsuzuki. Hisoka takes a quivering gasp and tries to force his own heartrate to slow.] Don't panic over nothing! Have more consideration than that! [he shoves Tsuzuki's shoulder hard, primarily upset at himself for letting his defenses down far enough to synchronize that completely with Tsuzuki in the first place.]

[Action] <33 Hisoka with a valley accent. I just. No.

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Or maybe he won't go to look, but instead sit and argue with Hisoka. That works, too!]

I'm sorry. I'm better now, here!

[Tsuzuki offers Hisoka his hand, so he can feel his emotions. The hard shove was apparently forgotten as soon as he regained his balance again.]

[Action] <33 Ugh, agreed. >.<

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[Oh hell no, Hisoka's not going NEAR Tsuzuki after that.] Go back to your room already!

[Action] <33 Now I want to watch it again. :3

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

At least let me help clean up.

[Action] <33 DO IT. :O

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

...It's fine. Get some rest.

[Action] <33 I might end up quoting it and then you'll be sorry. :D

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

[Hisoka probably knew it was coming. Tsuzuki ruffles his hair.] I'll see if anyone's at the front door, then I'll come back up.

[Action] <33 You can't quote bad acting over text! I WIN. :D

[aphephobic.livejournal.com]

[AUGH STOP IT. Hisoka pushes the ruffling hand far far away.] Do what you want. I'm not your mother.

[Action] <33 My flawless plan is ruined! :0

[purpledemoneyes.livejournal.com]

Thanks, 'Soka.

[So once Tsuzuki's checked the front door to make sure Mute Violent Girl wasn't coming to finish the job, he returns upstairs again. With a laundry basket, mind. He doesn't like the idea of leaving Hisoka to clean up alone.]

Knock, knock.
