[fourseasons]

Hong Kong-san,

It has come to my attention that our time here together has grown into something much more than what we have at home. Perhaps it is a forbidden sort of love, but I believe that is what causes it to burn so strongly! Forgive me if this is far too sudden, but I will wait as long as it takes for Hong Kong-san to be ready for such a thing. Please contact me as soon as this message is received. We do not have to stay in a place such as this with so many limitations...

With love,
The State of Japan

[Yup...

As Japan's communicator sends this message out, he'll just be on a walk and checking out Ace's old warehouse. Feel free to run into him along the way or come find him, otherwise he does have his comm with him!]

Comments

[fierybluebird]

Disheartening.

[Lays down on the floor and tries to think.] Am I doing something wrong? I mean... not with you, but with us. It's all messed up and I don't know what to do. Do I push here, let it go there? I thought maybe I just needed to always push, but it's hard. That too... makes me nervous.

[fourseasons]

Similar to what Marco asks of me... Simply be yourself.

[He would lay down next to him but it's kind of a dirty warehouse so he just looks over.]

Ah... Forgive me if it is too forward, but when Marco first approached me, it was quite thrilling...

[fierybluebird]

[Bursts out laughing.] I thought you were upset at me for it.

[fourseasons]

[Blushing sob]

I was only upset because Marco seemed upset...

[fierybluebird]

[Gets up and dusts off to come over to Japan and nibble his ear.] Masochist~

Eh. I must be turning into Ace. Or rather... falling into really old habits. From before my brothers. I do want all of you though. [Kisses!] I'm selfish.

[fourseasons]

[He blushes and pushes at Marco, but it's so lightly that it's obviously not what he really wants.]

I never noticed anything that could compare what Marco was just like to Ace... Ah...

[As for the selfish thing? He's not sure what to say.]

[fierybluebird]

[Nibbles down his neck.] No? Temperamental explosion? That doesn't remind you of him?

[fourseasons]

When put so vaguely, perhaps... [Somehow he's pushing less, but he'll still speak up]

Ah, Marco, please realize that I truly take your words into account.

[fierybluebird]

[Blinks. And nods, going serious again.]

Likewise my love, likewise.

[fourseasons]

[He'll watch him quietly before taking his face in both hands, stepping as close as he can to Marco.]

We have not grown apart.

[fierybluebird]

[Drops his gaze from Japan's, not even able to hide the worry.]

Promise?

[He believes Japan from all the other times Japan's said it, but it's never been direct before, and direct helps Marco a lot.]

[fourseasons]

I promise.

[He slides one hand down to lift Marco's chin a bit, smiling softly.]

What we have grown is closer.

[fierybluebird]

[Grins softly at the hand under his chin.] Sounds right.

We both just have to be ourselves, eh?

[fourseasons]

Precisely. [A genuine smile and he finally lowers his hands.]

[fierybluebird]

[Takes Japan's hands again, and makes a little heart with them both, covered in blue flames. And then he stands up.]

Come flying with me.

[fourseasons]

[Oh, that's surprising enough that he blushes a bit.]

Ah, flying? [Of course he's not saying anything against it.]

[fierybluebird]

Yeah. It's been awhile and I want you to experience freedom with me.

[fourseasons]

Freedom, is it?

[But he's smiling and nods, turning to head towards the door. Maybe it's all too thrilling for an old man like himself, but... He does enjoy it.]

[fierybluebird]

Stop thinking you're old. [Playful shove as he follows along.]

[fourseasons]

It is true, isn't it?

[And once they're outside and the warehouse is all set and good to leave, Japan will just glance over to Marco.]

[fierybluebird]

Younger than me. [Sticks his tongue out and changes into a phoenix.]

[fourseasons]

I still do not believe that is true. Marco is far too innocent.

[YEAH HE WENT THERE but he's already climbing on so he can't change back to say anything!!]

[fierybluebird]

[But he can squawk in protest. Oh he'll show you innocent Japan >:| You better hold on tight, because he is planning loop the loops and barrel rolls. How's THAT for innocent?

After squawking a bunch in protest though, he gets a running start to take off. It's cold, but Marco's flames don't mind.]

[fourseasons]

[BRING IT ON YOU'RE STILL INNOCENT. He can squeeze your neck just remember this...

But yes he holds on tight, wrapping his arms around Marco's neck and snuggling close.]

There, there.

[fierybluebird]

[Coos at the snuggles. It doesn't matter how mad he was before, Japan snuggles are always a good thing. So once they're up in the air and steady, he nudges Japan affectionately with his head.]
