Kurahi Catch-All: Unspoken Thing

Unspoken Thing
The hardest thing about life is
when the person who gave you the most memories
becomes a memory.

haunted
by someone that is still alive

“Mn. And I thought you’d say something like my standards are different.” Hiei… well. He often showed up to what was now their space caked in mud, dirt, blood and whatever else, often catching the fox’s ire for it. Or at the very least his insistence that he get in to the bath tub or shower right away.

The fire apparition might even give a hint of a self pleased little smile against Kurama’s neck as he feels the fox sink his fingers in to his hair. If he were truly a cat he would more than likely be purring right now.

Breakfast in bed does sound good, though. Hiei hums a little affirmative, though he still prefers when Kurama stays here with him, like this.

“You’re going to have to not use that alarm, then.” If he wanted any chance of actually getting out of bed that is.
jaganshi: (you are the devil I am)

“Don’t ruin it.” Hiei as he is now more than likely would not have picked a fight. He is far too warm and sleepy still, rooted in against Kurama’s skin and clinging to him like a little leech.

Never in his life would Hiei have thought that they’d have this. That he would one day wake up in a bed next to Kurama and consider it normal or anything close to that. And yet here he is, giving the redhead’s skin a little nip in retribution, as if he should know the why without explanation.

“Because if it wakes me up I’m not going to want to let you out of bed.”
jaganshi: (your evil brings me to my knees)

“Mn -“ That may make things a little different for him, actually. If only because the allowance would be for food, in the end, Hiei may be able to allow Kurama to go without all of the fuss.

Or maybe just less fuss - he isn’t quite sure yet.

“- that makes it a little different. But still.” Hiei roots in a little more to the fox’s skin, sighing softly.

“I don’t like to let you go so early.”

He's found that he quite likes his time with Kurama where there is no one other than them. Yes, that has always somewhat been his preference as Yusuke and Kuwabara tended to not only be loud but also tend to revel in riling him. Kurama did the same, from time to time, but in Hiei's opinion, it was less obvious and obnoxious than their teenage counterparts. Sometimes. The fox also knew all of the most direct ways under his skin, particularly the targets far more subtle than his height or something to do with his sister.

The fire apparition doesn't fight Kurama rolling them over, though he does raise a brow in question at not only the change in position but Kurama's lead-in.

"I also used to sleep less soundly." More like cat naps in Kurama's window sill, or half naps in a tree somewhere off in the woods where there weren't many human voices constantly bouncing off his eardrums.

So, really - "It's your own fault. You're the one that insisted I start sleeping indoors and in a bed."
jaganshi: (you are the devil)

Hiei did more often than not prefer the demon world. He missed the smell when he was gone too long, along with the fact that it was just.. home. The human world was easy and gentle, by comparison, and while he didn't dislike that fact, at times the ability to languish at all hours pushed him toward boredom. In the demon world it wasn't really all about the random slaying for him anymore, but there were responsibilities now.

Mukuro relied on him for different tasks to be done, and his opinion was asked from time to time on how to handle things like border incursions or how to handle a particularly rowdy group in the city. Small matters comparatively, but big enough for Mukuro's right hand to be considered.

Hiei hums as he considers his answer, balancing that very pleased expression on the fox's face. The fire demon leans up to nip at Kurama's lips as a playful rebuttal to how pleased he is outwardly.

"Mn. It is a slower morning than when I am with Mukuro. You don't need to be so damn smug about it, though."
jaganshi: (there's nothing left)

Kurama-” There is maybe even a laugh behind Hiei’s use of the fox’s name. Only here and very select closed spaces with very close comrades does Hiei behave like this. But even then the fox gets something different, sword worn hands taking his turn to bury in thick red locks.

It’s perhaps a dangerous move, considering all that Kurama keeps tucked in his hair, but here he is anyway. Always toeing the line of danger even when he maybe does not need to.

A nuzzle to the side of his head follows, Hiei shifting under him playfully as if he intends to reverse their positions again.

“You don’t mean to tell me that you have no pride in yourself at all for your role in this?”
jaganshi: (there's nothing left)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2024-09-09 12:42 am (UTC)(link)

Hiei makes a quiet noise in the back of his throat as Kurama's teeth meet his skin. He's grown used to it with much time and patience, his body's instinct to tense had been an obstacle to overcome at first, but Kurama's usual patience had won out in the end. Thankfully.

The fire apparition hadn't really known what he'd been missing with such close and warm interaction, Kurama's affection, and their ability to (mostly) joke so openly with one another without much in the way of hard feelings. All of it had been hard-earned with time and much affection on Kurama's part, only recently returned in semi-comfort by Hiei himself. He is still learning, and clumsy as a result, but he tries. Hiei does so desperately want to return the affection, the little gestures he now realizes were gestures as he looks back on them. So much had gone right over his head in the early days.

"Mn. For once I'll give in and say you have a right to it." As much as he told him not to be smug, he knows the fox deserves the credit. At least a little bit.

"I'm sure it was a great little game of catch for you at the time."
jaganshi: (your evil brings me to my knees)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2024-09-15 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)

Hiei almost looks.. unsure, for a moment, as Kurama pulls back to really look at him. He was, and still is, quite certain that there is very little reason that Kurama would have started this out of a certain fondness for him. They worked well together and usually got along very well, but it still makes very little sense to him for Kurama's affections to lie with him. Despite everything that he had gained through sheer force of will Hiei is still... well.

He's still a forbidden child with not all that much to offer as far as he's concerned.

"In the beginning, maybe." Hiei's shoulders shrug, as if to say that it isn't that big of a deal if it was a game to begin with. It is not now, he doesn't think, and that's truly where it all matters so far as the fire demon is concerned. Hiei's hand lifts to thread through Kurama's hair, gentle this time instead of his usual tugging and general roughness.

"I wouldn't blame you."
jaganshi: (your evil brings me to my knees)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2024-09-17 12:13 am (UTC)(link)

Hiei isn't quite sure how to take Kurama's silence. Whether it was that the fox was agreeing with his assessment or insulted wasn't very clear to him and.. if he's honest, it makes him a little nervous. The sudden pall over their warm, cuddly morning isn't something that he can miss, of course, and he struggles to figure out how he can reverse it, or at least attempt to steer them back toward something like what he had just somehow stomped all over with his assertion.

The best thing he can think to do is nuzzle in to the fox's head, hand reaching to bury in his bright hair.

Red eyes stare out at the opposite wall, blinking as he debates how to proceed, whether Kurama is upset or not.

Hiei nuzzles in again, a bit harder to catch his attention, he hopes. A little motion to make sure that he has the other man's attention instead of maybe being lost in his own mind. He doesn't really know what the hell he's doing here, stepping on to some very slippery and possibly thin ice so far as he can tell -

"I didn't mean to... ruin your mood."
jaganshi: (now i'm losing it all)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2024-09-19 12:38 am (UTC)(link)

"If you say so.." Clearly unconvinced, but he knows better than to try and challenge Kurama on these things. If the fox did not want to talk about it, he wouldn't, whether he try to shake the answer out of him or not. To Hiei, he was simply stating what he thought to be a fact. That he had been an oddity to collect for the other man, at least in the beginning when he had learned the reason for his Jagan, all of that. He couldn't blame the fox for doing what was natural to him.

Still, Kurama saying he hadn't realized makes him curious. The fire apparition nuzzles him again, an attempt at cajoling the redhead to actually explain when he asks.

Hiei can't help himself, he is far too curious -

"Hadn't realized what, exactly?"
jaganshi: (paved in gold paid in blood)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2024-09-19 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)

Hiei is, for better or worse, the type of demon that does not understand subtleties. Inferring anything from context is beyond him other than his own paranoid thoughts about why Kurama may be interested in him in the first place.

The fire apparition blinks innocently as the fox rises up to look at him again; unsure where this will go. He is so woefully unprepared and inexperienced with everything to do with what they are doing here that he tends to sort of blindly follow Kurama’s lead for the most part. Thankfully Hiei is a fast learner, for all of his less desirable traits.

He knows that it is not a full answer, but if Kurama is so intent on saying nothing … there’s no solve for it. At least not now.

The fire apparition sighs, though, as Kurama mentions breakfast, mouth turning downward. His stomach says he’s hungry, and yet he doesn’t want to relinquish Kurama’s attention just yet.

“Mn… I wish you could cook it from here.”
jaganshi: (you are the devil I am)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2024-09-25 01:11 am (UTC)(link)

How many times now had they both participated in saying ‘it’s passed’ and moving on? Hiei’s reluctance to speak about his past beyond what Kurama already knew or could surmise by Yukina’s existence and their separation as young children said enough so far as he was concerned.

That he had been tossed out like vermin by his own family members, and then those he had once considered family weighs heavily on him still. In how the fire apparition, at least by what he claims, keeps all of them at an arm’s length, ready for them to one day decide he is too much and turn their backs on him as the bandits had. Even Kurama may one day realize he’s had enough and shut him out of this place he had made to specifically give them a space of their own.

It isn’t like Kurama couldn’t fill the space with someone else, right?

Yet again they don’t speak about it and assume the other will understand, Kurama’s kiss moving Hiei along instead of insisting upon the subject.

“If you plan ahead?” Hiei asks, amused, a brow raising.

“Will you have the plants cook us breakfast or something?”
jaganshi: (i know the money's spent)

[personal profile] jaganshi 2024-10-01 02:01 am (UTC)(link)

“You hadn’t?” Hiei seems like he does not believe him on that note, but … oh well. Maybe he might try it at his suggestion, even for their own amusement. Hiei, for one, would love to see if it’s even possible.

He may have even elaborated if Kurama didn’t make to pull away, already making a little sound of disapproval even as he makes only a paltry attempt to stop him. As much as Hiei wouldn’t mind having a lazy morning that bleeds in to a lazy afternoon … he is hungry. And their lazy afternoon would likely sour if he was left hungry for too long.

“You torture me.” Sweetly, for the most part, but still. The fire apparition stretches like a lazy cat, nuzzling in to his pillow for a moment, debating catching a cat nap.

“Should I come out or stay here?”
