An Excellent Use of My Writing Journal, Ahoy
*...hides under the bed*
I'll write things. Or I'll try. Challenge-things. Just like... no more than two or something... Be gentle with the crack... I don't know enough RPverse for that... Other fandoms okay...
...I know that was such a thorough explanation, but if for some reason you need answers, comment with questions. *shifty eyes* ...maaaybe I'll answer them. *hides*
(Well, it's not like I'm writing anything responsible recently.)

KKM AU, Lukas: Seeing You
"Who would've thought," he mused to no one in particular, "that there would be a Murata-oneesan?"
The real wonder was that the mysterious Murata elder had managed to wrangle a promise of babysitting from Ken, when Lukas -- with far more and significant claim to him -- could hardly keep the ungrateful creature from mockery for ten minutes at a time. And she had done so with her brother in a bad mood.
Lukas turned to find the child watching him. "Why isn't Ken-chan here?" she wanted to know. It was the third time she'd asked.
A little slow in the head. Be patient. The blond explained, "He's going to be late. He isn't feeling well."
The message on his cell phone had been more along the lines of: 'Because Ayame doesn't take no for an answer, I need you to go to my sister's house and look after my niece. I'm going to be jogging in circles around the park until I either create a temporal vortex of despair, or feel less like destroying humanity.' No explanation, but the message ended with a quiet, 'I want to see you.'
Two hours of Lego castles and picture books later, Lukas was conjuring up mental images of Ken having become lost, mugged, or ironically fallen into his own temporal vortex. He had become thoroughly disenchanted with beautiful black hair and lovely dark eyes, and little girls in general. Adorable had never seemed like such an impermanent concept as it did right now.
The next time "Why isn't Ken-chan here?" came up, Lukas suggested they play hide and seek.
He sat on the couch and watched TV and occasionally called teasingly, "Where aaare you?" and then didn't move. It was his favorite game of the evening. They were still playing it when the door opened and Ken entered, pale and bent. Lukas pushed himself to his feet, and dark eyes met his from behind their lenses, and a tired smile lit up Ken's face.
"Hey," he said. "I hope it wasn't torture with Naoko."
"It's all worth it," Lukas assured him. He tucked the smaller man against his body in a tight embrace, and just like that, the tension melted away from Ken, with a single sigh a flutter of wings against the blond's neck.

Re: KKM AU, Lukas: Seeing You
The shriek as his niece hits his legs makes Ken wince and sink a little deeper into himself. But Lukas is there, arms around him, holding him up and bolstering him when it feels like the whole world is crushing down on him.
His lover has changed a lot....or maybe....maybe I'm just seeing what was there all along.
Looking up, his free hand rising to brush aside unruly blond bangs, he smiles tiredly and the arms around him tighten in response.
Was this how you were? Was I so blind? How much of this pain would I have spared us if I had been as strong - as sure - as you are in what we are together?
His sister will be here soon and though he knows Naoko cannot be trusted to stay quiet, he leans in to kiss his rumpled blond lover lightly.
A promise for the night ahead.

Re: KKM AU, Lukas: Seeing You
Ayame swings a wary glance back and forth between her brother and her impromptu babysitter, as if enough skepticism will enable her to discern whether or not they spent a significant portion of the night making out on her impressionable daughter's bed. Lukas stands with his hands in his pockets and endeavors to look as much as possible like the stained glass angels in Naoko's picture books, hiding behind Ken.
When they finally leave, Lukas says, "See, I was good. Every time I had the urge to do something bad, I asked myself, if I lock Ken's sister's daughter in the closet, will I be able to get away with it? Since I couldn't be sure..."
The joke coaxes a laugh from Ken despite his withdrawn air. Lukas hooks an arm around his waist and rubs his back in silent comfort, promising himself that, later, when it's more appropriate, he will find out the details of today's agitation, and any relevant names and addresses.
"Next time," he says into his lover's ear, stray curls of black hair tickling his lips, "just come to me. There isn't anything I wouldn't drop to make you feel better."
Re: KKM AU, Ken: Seeing You
Lukas's joke is not particularly funny but Ken is surprised into laughing anyway. It is always such a shock to be reminded of the wicked sense of humour hidden under the polite mask Lukas wears in front of strangers.
He leans gratefully into his lover's touch, glad of the warmth and simple comfort. He doesn't want to share this worry with Lukas. Not here, not now.
"I know." He says simply, to the words and the intent behind them. "And I love you all the more for it."
Re: KKM AU, Lukas: Seeing You
AU is love!
So cute, but poor Murata...I wonder why he's so upset/depressed T_T
Re: KKM AU, Lukas: Seeing You
