Day 260 (Backdated) - Homeward Bound
Who: Ippo and Ibuki
Open: Open
When: Day 260
Where: The Bastion In General
What: Ippo's home and not feeling too hot.
Format: Action
Warnings: Sad feels and happy feels and Ibuki probably
[The entire way home, Ippo had been for the most part, silent beyond a few words in response to things said to him. His heart was still beating in his ears and his chest felt like someone had trapped it in a vice.
How loud had he been yelling? How hard had he been pounding on that creature? Everything had gone by in such a blur, he didn't even notice until someone was pulling him off of the dead body so they could drag Colin out. He'd been fine of course, as Colin was wont to be most of the time, but he couldn't shake that raw terror he'd felt watching his friend get swallowed whole. A fear had gripped him so absolutely that even in the face of saving the engineer, he couldn't shake it even now.
His feelings weighed around his neck like chains and even as he came in off the Skyway, he landed hard on one knee, much opposed to his usual, more solid landings.
Even as lost in his thoughts and emotions as he was, he couldn't not notice the small tuft of brightly colored hair poking out from beneath a blanket near the entrance. Had...Ibuki really slept here waiting for him to get back? It was a shock enough to pull him from his thoughts and into the present as he walked over to the blanket and knelt down, putting a hand on Ibuki's shoulder.]
Ibuki...? You shouldn't sleep here, you might catch something.
[His voice sounded distant, even to him, as if he were listening to someone else speak, but the meaning was there all the same. He might have not been here for that plague, but he'd heard about it, and had his own fair share of sickness as well. The last thing he wanted was for Ibuki to come down with something because she was waiting outside for him to get back.]

no subject
[He didn't at all look comfortable at the question she asked though, and he could feel that tightness wrap itself around his chest again. He was steady, so he wasn't about to drop Ibuki or anything, but he might have even been shaking a little bit.]
Thankfully nothing serious...it's just that it could have been that scares me...
no subject
It feels serious. Ippo-chan, you feel and sound Super High School Level Serious...
Though, though... maybe we should wait until we're both comfy before we talk about it, right? Right?
And... and Ibuki can make you something delicious, too!
no subject
[He might have questioned why their deeper discussions so far had been over breakfast, but he was just going to content himself in an impromptu hug instead. Much easier.]
no subject
[Ibuki is more than happy to hug Ippo back, of course!]
... well, except for getting to the room! Whoops! Ippo-chan took the initiative and is carrying Ibuki like we're newly weds! Kyaa!
no subject
[It was enough to get some color to his cheeks though and his laugh was a bit more genuine. If only by a bit, but it was something at least.]
no subject
We married each other on the first day we met! Amazing! How did it take us so long to figure out?!
no subject
[And there's the rest of the color, because he's tired right now and Ibuki has this really cool way of sounding absolutely serious when she says outlandish things.]
no subject
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Ippo-chan, you move so fast!!!
no subject
[Oh boy, he actually thinks he messed something up here. You've got a real class act boyfriend here Ibuki. A real keeper.]
no subject
The ring!! And the ceremony!
We forgot the everything, Ippo-chan-
Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
no subject
[Oh god what did he need to do...he needed to draft up cards and get a ring and set up the ceremony...who would he even talk to about that?? Gahhhhhhhhh, this was an absolute nightmare, how even did this happen??!]
no subject
Ibuki has a confession to make...
That other night, when we did 'this' and 'that'...
[Okay wait no, she shouldn't keep this going any longer-]
...
... Just kidding!!!!!
no subject
no subject
There's something else you're going to walk into very soon watch out-Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
no subject
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.]
no subject
[And there's an Ibuki on top of Ippo-]
It's like a scene out of a comedy romance!! Embarrassing!
[... guess who isn't embarrassed]
no subject
Jeez...if this keeps happening, I'll have to keep a running count.
[He did seem to be a lot clumsier around Ibuki it seemed...maybe he was just easily distracted by her charms?]
no subject
[She rolls off of Ippo, letting out a small, happy laugh]
Hey, hey, Ippo-chan, should Ibuki carry you the rest of the way?
no subject
[He smiled and stood up, holding out a hand to Ibuki to let her join him before he made his way back towards his...their apartment. It still felt strange to say that.]
So...did I miss anything while I wasn't here? Come up with any new songs or anything like that?
no subject
Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing really. Ibuki tried to play a bit, but she ended up mostly waiting out by the entrance...
She didn't even think about songs at all! Weird and so out of character for Ibuki!
no subject
[He was actually thankful for that, if he was being honest. He could use a break from all that nonsense.]
no subject
... And there you are! Yeah! Happy ending!
no subject
[And this time it was Ippo who seemed to be the clingy one rather than Ibuki...the closer he was, the less it felt like his throat was trying to jump out of his mouth, so he wrapped an arm around her shoulder as they walked up the stairs and felt his anxiety get pushed back down once again.]
Let's keep it that way, right?
no subject
Yeah, yeah! The happiest of endings. Magical and amazing!
no subject
[His laughs were getting more genuine and less tense, he found it much easier to relax and let go of his worries whenever Ibuki was near...he didn't quite know why exactly, but maybe it was just her endless supply of optimism that made it easier to find the silver linings in clouds.]
