KURO KIRYU
This's Kuro - leave a message. If this is about karate classes, leave a detailed message 'n I'll get back to you ASAP.
[ Harmless, still so harmless, even this many years later. But he laughs anyways, grinning at Nazuna easily but not teasing for the slur. He looks fond and warm, sitting there like that, thinking about how Nazuna had battled with himself when their future mom told them they could find out what the baby's gender was. ] It really is. So just hold out, yeah?
[ His guess? He doesn't have one - Nazuna's mother is a pretty good reference for variety and old wives' tale ways of telling if you're going to have a boy or a girl. Talking to her made it pretty clear that they'd just be wildly guessing if they tried to do it.
And for as fun as it is, Kuro's content in waiting. He's waited this long to be a dad, he can wait a little longer. Even if they're in the middle of antsy nursery building and decoration. ] Hm~m.
[ Alone time. A little more gravel, what Kuro's more used to (death metal growls can do that to you), slides into his words as a grin starts to pull at the corners of his mouth. ] Better make good used to all the time we get to sleep and spend with each other, huh~?

[ hmm.... ~
nazuna opens his eyes where he's settled against kuro's chest, any slight indigence at kuro's not so well cloaked "i told you so" disappearing in just about an instant at the tone of kuro's voice.
he shifts a little, looking up at kuro's jaw, then curls his fingers in his shirt, small fingers closing, then opening across his pec, enough to brace himself up into a proper sitting position, nice and close. ] And how do you think we should spend our 'alone time', Kurochin?

[ The contact is welcome, familiar, and Kuro's eyes flutter closed for a brief moment. He can feel where Leo's nose could bump into his, another familiar point of contact. They're not Something, but they've always been something, and they always will be.
So he opens his eyes again, refocusing in that close space. ]
Knowin' you, you'd have put on one hell of a show. Could still do one, if you ask me, but maybe I'd make you work for it. [ His hands skirt from his sides to his waist, to his hips, down to the backs of his thighs. ]

[ It's easy for him to tip up, just a little closer, as Nazuna sits up. The position is just as familiar as everything else, in its strange, unfamiliar way, and his hand slides along the length of his body. When it stops, he settles it against the back of his thigh, like he can hike him closer, somehow. ]
Think I got an awfully good idea for it..~ [ And he tips up that much closer, closing the space between them.
As an outside observer, Kuro lets out a ] Huh. [ As he continues to watch this scene unfold. ]

[ oh
my god.
nazuna nito gets embarrassed pretty easily, but he has never been more embarrassed in his entire life. when the outside observer speaks up, everything shifts, and it's like nazuna is standing there watching his dream. correction: he is standing there watching himself make out with the incredibly attractive drummer for clochette, and they're married and about to adopt a kid and kuro is right next to him.
his hands shoot up over his mouth, and his entire face turns red. ] Uu--
my god.

Unya!!! [ he yelps, flailing backwards a little like he can physically recoil from the scene now unfolding in front of him, hands moving from his mouth to in front of him like he could wave it away to covering his face, burying there. ]
Shtop--shtop lookin' at it!!! [ aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA ]

[ There's a little more gravel in his voice, now, and that feels way more normal than anything else at the moment. But Kuro decides to take this all in stride, as the strange sort of dream that it is. The other him and the blond - Nazuna, the dream memory supplies - are really interested in making out in their future nursery. It's not a bad thing to behold, despite it's strangeness.
And neither is the embarrassment of this other version of his apparent husband? It's cute. Charming. ]
You're awfully embarrassed, ain'tcha. [ He holds his hands up, though, before folding one over his eyes. It's definitely teasing. ]

How're ya not-!?! [ embarrassed anyway, because this is absolutely mortifying. see. it would probably be less embarrassing if this was
the first time he's had this dream.
in some variation, kuro kiryu the rockstar has made appearances in different dreams of nazuna's. he's seen him around the kiryu house when visiting with suzu and mika every now and then, and that's been the extent of their interactions. short of the poster of the band he has on the wall of his bedroom, these dreams are the only interaction he's ever had with him.
until now, where kuro is standing right next to him and saw everything nazuna's subconscious came up with.
oh my god. he keeps his face buried firmly in his hands, so really he couldn't even tell if kuro was still looking. ] It--it--I-- [ are you really going to try and explain your way out of this ]

[ To be entirely fair to Nazuna, this is probably not a product of his subconscious alone. Kuro has done plenty of reading on shared dreams before in his spare time, so this wouldn't really be that out of the realm for that..? But he's never participated in one, before. He's had plenty of dreams like this before, sure, the inappropriate things that you don't want the object of those dreams to see, but not like this.
Someone else is watching it, and participating in it at the same time.
Weird. ]
We should prob'ly leave, before we really get goin', if you're already this embarrassed. [ He peeks between his fingers at Nazuna, humming an amused little noise. There's something vaguely familiar about his face, beyond the whole - you know, married life dream that he's been observing. ] 'cause I don't think we have any plans of stoppin' there.

[ oh, he will definitely take that out. nazuna finally peels his hands away from his face and looks up into the nebulous space of whatever the hell dreams are made of. "before we really get goin" is not ANY less embarrassing, thanks kuro. he's going to comment on it, snappy and embarrassed, but he hears the dream version of himself giggle (oh my god) and just like that the force of his own "nope we need to leave' makes the dream ripple and change around them.
the dream versions of themselves disappear, and the room shifts to something more familiar; nazuna's own bedroom in his house. his shoulders slump in relief, and nazuna more or less wheezes his second ] Unyaa... [ oh thank god.
oh god he's still here. ]

[ Oh, but that giggle was cute? Oh well, Kuro's not about to voyeur himself today, even if it's not like he hasn't done or dreamt any of these things before. As it is, it's more for the cute blond's benefit than it is his. He looks a little like he's about to implode, he's so so red. So the change isn't too shocking, and he just looks around the new location when the dream shifts away to something else. A more normal bedroom, for someone that he'd wager was college-aged - not a big house with a big nursery that'd become a child's room eventually.
And then his eyes land on a very, very familiar poster, and he laughs a little. Just a chuckle that rumbles up from the pit of his chest. ]
Oh, hey. I remember that shoot. [ That definitely is his face on that poster. Actually, that's definitely his face, and his pecs, and his abs. That was for one of Suzu's tours, when he'd been with her, and they'd wanted to market all the members of her band at the time. ]

Hey, hey--!! [ oh my god. nazuna whirls around and remembers the poster about five seconds later, then scurries over and puts his hands on it, as if he could make it disappear.
it's a dream, so he probably could, and the vision of it wobbles a little before he gives up and just turns around like he could cover it, despite the fact that he's five feet and some change, his face still red. ] Hashn't lookin' caushed yew enough trouble--?!
[ there is no saving his dignity here. at all. ]

[ there is no saving his dignity here. at all. ]
I wouldn't say lookin's caused me any trouble, personally. You're the one that's all ruffled up. S'cute.
[ Ah, there we go. But he doesn't know the error of his ways, and instead goes about looking at other things that are around the room. Kuro figures that he can give him some of his dignity, and will take advantage of that to try and figure out why there's that familiarity there that doesn't have anything to do with the dream.
He really does feel like he's seen him around before... maybe with his siblings? Or younger than him, so maybe school before he graduated. That was a solid six years ago, though. ]

[ embarrassment, luckily, changes into his usual grumpy tiny rage. so, he stamps his foot, overwhelmed a bit by the sheer amount of emotions he's experienced in the past five minutes and latching onto the one he knows best. ]
I'm twenty-shree yearsh old, 'm not cute!! Beshides, what kinda pershon looksh at sat ash normal!!
[ the dream, not the poster. that's at least a little more normal. ]

[ the dream, not the poster. that's at least a little more normal. ]
[ Oh, feisty. Now that's cute, and Kuro can't help but turn and look back at him, eyebrows raising up. Interested and amused, but giving him a bit of a look-over. Because, well, it would be a bald-faced lie if he said that this guy wasn't his type in a lot of different ways. But he's pretty sure he should poke a little less, and keep it from getting out of hand.
After all, first impressions were already... interesting. ]
S'not normal at all. [ A shrug. ] But if this's a dream, what's there to be upset about?

Ughh, yew made me mesh up my wordsh... [ god. okay. he takes a deep breath to keep from stuttering any more and finally steps away from the poster, looking back at it a little despairingly.
well, it's on his real wall. there's probably no getting rid of that. putting his hands on his hips, he huffs a little, now that he has his ~cool niichan composure~ back. ] It being a dream doesn't make it any less embarrassing. I didn't expect to turn around and see you.
[ a pause, and he looks away, some of the red finally fading to a pinkish color in his cheeks. ] ...it's Nazuna. Nazuna Nito.

[ Pretty sure he messed up his words all his own. But Kuro just hums a low noise, still amused but not necessarily mean. All right, all right, he'll be nicer. Or, some semblance of it. But he does glance back at the poster for one moment, and then gives -
Well, Nazuna his full focus. ]
Not like I was expectin' it either. But it's interestin', too, 'specially since I can't shake the thought that maybe I've seen you before.
[ He slides his hands into his pockets, casual as can be and flashing him a grin. ] I figure you know who I am, but. Kuro Kiryu.

[ how is he so calm about this. how is anyone calm after any of that. nazuna's heartbeat is still beating as fast as a trapped rabbit's in his chest as he comes down from it, to be honest, and it's only "i've seen you before" that makes him pause.
he wrinkles his nose. ] I know your sister. She babysits my siblings sometimes, when she's home.
[ but, the dream around them seems to respond to that same phrase. the landscape shifts, wobbling a little, and nazuna takes a step towards kuro to keep from getting--sucked up, or something--but there's no danger. instead, the scenery changes, to that of a school roof.
he recognizes this. brows furrowed, nazuna asks: ] A hallucinomemory...? [ and turns to look at kuro. ]

[ Because, why sweat over something you don't really have any control of? If they were in danger, then he'd definitely be more riled up over this, but right now, as is... They're fine. Kuro can think of worse things than a domestic wet dream, really.
But he tilts his head the other way, drawing a hand out to snap his fingers. ] That's why. I was wonderin' if it'd be Suzu or Mika, but that makes sense. S'been a while since I last knew she did it, but I've been comin' and goin' more than her lately.
[ What with her being in school for a bit again, and him filling in for bands with missing drummers, nevermind his hunts. But that thought drifts out of mind as things change again, and it's instinct -
He reaches out, fingertips against Nazuna's elbow like he's about to take it and make sure nothing shifts too far out of whack. Even as he stares at the rooftop around them. ] Hm. [ His only response, at first. And then Kuro looks back at him, an eyebrow twitching up. ] This looks familiar to you, too?

[ there's no time to focus on the where they might have known each other, not with the new dreamscape. it seems like they might actually share a memory, and he opens his mouth, then closes it, then nods. ]
Mm... it's called Yumenosaki. If this is what I think it is, then maybe... [ he steps away from kuro and finds one of the chimney stacks on the roof, peering around the edge of it. sure enough, there's another version of him sitting there, a bento box in his lap. his hair's longer, but it's still nazuna, wearing a blue tie.
the other nazuna opens his mouth, and a little music comes out of his throat. the note cracks badly, and nazuna the older winces, his fingers curling around the edge of the wall where he's hiding. ] ...this is one of my memories.

[speaking of familiar contact, the touch traveling down to his thighs definitely count as a kind, shuddering out a laugh and tilting his head to kiss kuro a little, shifting forward more into it.]
I'm a hard worker when I wanna be. ♪ You might ba~rely be smarter than that bovine, but you're pretty high on your horse to be thinkin' you could give me a challenge I can't top.
[not quite literally, when it comes to this, but still. his hands move deftly from kuro's head to his pecs and abs, exploring with small hands and slight fingers the creases and lines he knows so well as he leans against him, pushing his thighs back against kuro's hands with a sigh.]

Baba's been sleepin' more often.
[like a small crack in a dam. he hunches his shoulders a bit, slouching as he comes in with the outfit tucked beneath his arm.]
I mean, it might be nothin' but old people problems like she tells Tsuka-tan, but--
[leo hesitates, then shoves the clothes at kuro.]
Wha~tever! Make me a skirt for that, 'kay? Cheerleading outfits shouldn't be shorts, even in a school full of guys.

[ Slowly, he looks around again, sort of... taking the new setting in. Kuro doesn't panic, but everything is strange. Different but familiar, in that way that these memories so frequently are. He's not sure how to feel about it being such a familiar thing, that resonates in his chest with a warm kind of fondness right then and there. It's like he's re-remembering something important to him. ]
Yumenosaki Gakuen. [ He remembers. He knows. But he follows after Nazuna, as he goes to peer around the stack.
This younger Nazuna, with his broken voice... he's seen it before.
And then, he knows it's not just Nazuna's memory. He turns when he hears the door to the roof crack open behind them, and reaches to set his hand against this, older Nazuna's upper arm to get his attention. ] Mine, too.
