Video; un: rosestorm | Blood Vials for all your aches and pains.

[thunderingcourage]

[The video begins with Makoto currently sitting in the garden at the house. Though at the moment she seems to be working on something unrelated to the flowers that are growing there. As she points at the camera several of her fingers are bandaged and there’s one on her arm too.]

Hey, those of you who have been having a bunch of headaches and stuff lately. Apparently, if you’re close to someone that has Vileblood it helps a bit, or just having a small locket or vial or something works too. If you need one just come by Usagi’s or let us know, I’ve done about a dozen so far. And it really does seem to work. I’ll make more if there’s not enough already.

[With that Makoto holds up a small vial attached to a small chain, as well another. Both filled with the green blood Makoto was still adjusting to, small streaks of red swirling throughout each.]

It can act kind of like a pain reliever too in a pinch, well if you don’t mind getting it on you. Just be careful with it.

Oh and I remember there are a lot of birthdays in October too, so if you need someone to make a cake for a celebration or anything you can give me a call too. So far I have one or two that I’m working on, but I still have plenty of time for a few more.

[After all she needed to practice and save up a little more.]

Other than that if anyone looking for a sparring partner I could use a little practice. I haven't had any since we've gotten here and I'm getting kind of rusty.

Makoto-chan...

[It's reassuring that she'll still pull him close, even when she knows that he's hiding unpleasant scars from her. It's nice to be able to talk about them, too, and know he isn't crazy for finding his abuse unfair.

He leans in to kiss her cheek, choosing a spot close to the base of her neck. His next choice of words are soft and hesitant not because he doesn't truly mean them, but because Atsushi knows they carry an intimate meaning.]

Mm. If it's with you... I don't think I'd regret anything that we do together?

[thunderingcourage]

[Makoto felt butterflies in her stomach, and felt herself tremble a little as he whispered in her ear. She didn't doubt it, and it was something that she wanted, hearing it she realized fully that she had never really expected it and yet he'd said it. Pulling him close Makoto knew that he wasn't ready most likely, and she was realizing that really she didn't know what to do either. So instead she just held him close, burying her face in his neck and shoulder to hide how red it was hoping he could feel the pounding of her heart in her chest.]

Thank you. I love you Atsushi. C-could we just stay like this for a little longer, just this much for now?

[Just wrapped up in each other, feeling the warmth and the presence of the other. Happy to have them there, feeling secure and safe.]

[He's also aware that he has implicated something that would be quite the leap for their relationship. It has his eyes burning red and his own heart pounding nervously. Not nervous for rejection, but realizing their thoughts do align. And that they also align in needing more time before acting on their growing intimacy.

He slowly lowers himself to the bed with her, tugging Makoto into a more secure hold where he can hide a small kiss by her ear. Atsushi falls silent, not sure which of their hearts it is that he feels beating. Maybe it doesn't matter? They're lovers and all. It would be stranger if they weren't in agreement about these things, wouldn't it?]

Mm... We don't have anything else planned for a while anyway.

[Even then, Atsushi might push back on meal preparation if it means cuddling with Makoto for a while longer. He's comfortable here. And in a place like the Trench, this sort of security is hard to come by.]

I love you, Makoto.
