The Habits of Lovers (Closed RP, Kusuriyuri/Kurama, probably NSFW)

"Now, if you've been mournful with me, your poor lover must have dealt with worse."

That was the thing about Yukimura... he always knew just the right thing to say to get Kurama thinking. He wasn't wrong, either. Kusuriyuri had seen Kurama break down completely, and had endured the melancholy with extreme patience. It hadn't yet occurred to Kurama that a very heartfelt thank-you was in order, but he realized the opportunity was knocking for what he hoped would be a rather spectacular appreciation.

When he'd snuck off to Japan with Mello and Matt, he'd bought yards of fabric; beautiful, high-quality stuff made just for kimono. He'd bought them with Kusuriyuri in mind, remembering the damage done to his "work clothes" after the first encounter with Karasu. While repairs had been made to the original outer kimono, Kurama had thought to surprise his lover with a second. He'd secretly put his considerable skills at sewing (being able to make and repair your own clothing was an invaluable tool, he always thought) to work, he'd worked out the second outer kimono in the style of the first, though embroidered with the patterns of wind and water and silvery falling leaves than the color cacophony of the first.

He folded the garment carefully and wrapped it in tissue paper, then setting off to find Kusuriyuri and present him with the gift.

"You're welcome," he murmured, letting himself be drawn down into the kiss. It was a sweeter kind of kiss, a little soft, but no less full of love. When he pulled away, he reached for the parcel full of fabric, pulling it out so the kimono billowed in the air over them. Then it settled, draped over one of his shoulders and spilling over onto Kusuriyuri's chest. "Truth is, I'm madly in love with you and want to make you happy." He grinned blushing a little and averting his eyes. "I hope that's all right."

"Provided that Itoshii allows this one to make him happy as well," Kusuriyuri said on a sigh as the fabric with it's particular energy of love touched his skin. "And that he does not hide, then this one shall be more than content."

Kurama turned his eyes back to match Kusuriyuri's gaze. He leaned close, and spoke very seriously. "That you allow yourself to love me makes me happier than anything in my entire life."

"This one as well," Kusuriyuri murmured. "Very pleased." He sighed, contentment lending itself to fatigue. "Will Itoshii nap with me?" he asked softly.

He smiled a warm smile and lay down with Kusuriyuri, draping his handiwork around them. "I will, and if there are dreams, I hope you will be in them."

Kusuriyuri turned so that he could hold Kurama. He almost missed the cats joining them, but Belophoebe had insisted on Boukensha's presence that morning when he left so the office was catless at the moment. Kusuriyuri nuzzled into Kurama's body. "This one will be in your arms," he murmured, letting himself drop off to sleep.

Kurama kissed his cheek and lay close, caressing Kusuriyuri's hair before laying down to sleep as well.

They were indeed good dreams.
