WHO: Yukimura, Saitou, Zhao Yun
WHAT: Conversations about the aftermath + Nagashino + feelings things
WHERE: Resistance Army Camp
WARNING(S): To be determined?

[So we have a Saitou/Yukimura conversation and a Zhao Yun/Yukimura conversation happening up in here. GOOD? GOOD.]

Comments

[iaijutsu]

We may be able to learn more, if we can find others from my time. I admit that I know far less about the ochimizu than I would like.

[They might also know as little as him, but it's long been clear to the Shinsengumi that someone out there on the other side knows more than they should. It could work in their favor, here...or explode in their faces.]

[ex_onslaught851]

Others from your time... We could ask around camp, and send messengers to those of our contacts who have not joined up with the Resistance army directly. Perhaps there is something to be found there.

[He hopes, at least. Right now they need all of the help that they can get.]

[iaijutsu]

...I would like to do so even if there is nothing to be gained by it, if I may be blunt for a moment.

[Not that Yukimura isn't an awesome comrade, but a guy starts to miss his bros after so long.]

[ex_onslaught851]

[That makes Yukimura smile.]

Of course. It's no trouble to send some messengers their way; I will ask for you. I simply need some names and descriptions to go off.

[iaijutsu]

I will make you a list. Thank you, Yukimura-dono.

[ex_onslaught851]

You needn't thank me for that. I am more than happy to help.

[iaijutsu]

Perhaps I do not need to. But I wish to, regardless.

[ex_onslaught851]

[That makes him flush slightly.]

If you insist, Hajime-dono, then I will not protest. At least, not too much.

[iaijutsu]

I believe you would get along well with the rest of my comrades, as well.

[Is it too early in this relationship to bring the boyfriend home to meet Daddykata? Oh well.]

[ex_onslaught851]

Ah- you do? You wish for me to meet them?

[No, but that means that Saitou is going to have to put up with teasing from Lord Shingen regarding how much Yukimura gushes about him, in return...]

[iaijutsu]

I would like you to, yes.

[Sounds like a sitcom in the making.]

dammit now I want Saitou to get a hard time from Shingen

[ex_onslaught851]

... I would be honoured to meet men that you hold in such high regard, Hajime-dono.

[Not blushing nope nope nope.]

omg me too

[iaijutsu]

I hope that I can give you that opportunity, Yukimura-dono.

[Once they. Find them and all.]

clearly this is why I have a Shingen account :|a

[ex_onslaught851]

I hope that we can find them, Hajime-dono. You must be awfully worried.

[If Saitou was here, then perhaps they were, too. As much as Yukimura hated to think more people had been drawn from their own worlds, it would make Saitou happy to see them.]

oh ho ho

[iaijutsu]

I do not believe that Hijikata-san would fall easily, but it will be a relief to see him again, regardless.

[ex_onslaught851]

Yes, I am sure it would be. Being separated from one's comrades in a strange world such as this...

[Well. He's been there. He squeezes Saitou's shoulder gently.]

It will be all right, Hajime-dono.

[iaijutsu]

[Saitou's not normally the type to need or be particularly receptive to those kinds of attempts at reassurance, but...Yukimura somehow makes the platitude sound more believable than most.]

Thank you.

[ex_onslaught851]

[Considering that Yukimura's never been particularly good at reassuring anyone of anything, at least in his mind, this... is a good enough start. For now he doesn't say anything more, but when no one else is watching, he presses a light kiss to Saitou's cheek.]

[iaijutsu]

[Even if nobody is watching at the moment, that gets a blush out of Saitou - though it would be a much deeper one if anybody were looking in their direction - but he doesn't protest, either.]

[ex_onslaught851]

[... He is so cute the world is probably going to explode. Yukimura can't stop grinning.]

Did I embarrass you, Hajime-dono?

[iaijutsu]

As long as nobody was watching, I suppose it is not a problem.

[Translation: yes.]

[ex_onslaught851]

You suppose...?

[That's a dangerous game you're playing, Saitou. Which just means Yukimura will have to go for the lips this time.]

[iaijutsu]

[Please hold, brain rebooting.]

[ex_onslaught851]

[Hmm, he's not protesting. Maybe if he kisses him again...?]

[iaijutsu]

[You make it so hard for a guy to collect his thoughts enough to protest, Yukimura. He's busy trying to make sure his heart actually stays put instead of thumping its way out of his chest and all.]
