MY KAEDEHARA ୨୧ kaedehara k.

"SUNDOWN"

last night was one of the best nights [y/n] has ever experienced. in the end they ended up drinking and celebrating wildly with the crux, giving in to beidou's continuous whining about how 'boring' [y/n] was.

the crux listened to [y/n] drunkenly storytelling what they have heard from zhongli when they were younger. but of course, they didn't go into further details for they still have a tad bit control with their words.

kazuha was probably the only one who was sober enough on the table. the poor samurai having to deal with drunkards surrounding him but he truly enjoyed as he laughed along while looking after [y/n] before anyone does something out of line. or before [y/n] themself does something stupid.

in the present time, [y/n] and kazuha was having a duel on one side of the vessel. it all started with some stupid bet the two came up with. the small crowd cheered at them as their wooden made swords sparred. using their visions was not necessary.

the white haired boy blocked every attack [y/n] sent him. what more do you expect from an experienced fighter. "you dare challenge a samurai?" kazuha sent a grin at his opponent. his footwork was amazing too.

[y/n] only replied with a smirk as they used a technique the conqueror of demons himself taught them. (i have no idea how to write sparring scenes) this made kazuha's weapon fly up the air, [y/n] took the chance and pointed the tip of their sword on kazuha's throat.

the red eyed male looked at them in surprise but that expression quickly faded into an impressed one. he slowly put both his arms up as a signal of surrender. "not bad." he smiled down at them.

[y/n] smiled in satisfaction and drew their weapon away from the boy. as they walked past kazuha, walking towards a chair to rest on, kazuha took the opportunity to snatch the weapon from [y/n]'s grasp, the shocked individual was forced to spin on their heels and face the same direction as the boy.

the sword now on their throat, kazuha's right arm almost leaning over their shoulder. his left hand grasped [y/n]'s clothing on their arm instead of their wrist.

(kinda like this but with more distance lmaosnqks)

"why you-"
" you're supposed to capture the foe, not give them a chance to escape." he quickly let go of them when he realized how close they were.

they stared at each other for one good minute.

[y/n] was speechless, not knowing whether to argue with him or to laugh it off. "y'know what, you got a point." they sighed defeatedly.

kazuha only sent a small smile, a smile full of pride that it made [y/n] mentally scoff. "i look forward to learning more from you. kazuha sensei." [y/n] spoke jokingly.

meanwhile kazuha's ears were bright red but he still managed to keep a straight face. the corner of his lips twitching upwards but he hid it from view. "just, kazuha is fine."

[y/n] chuckled softly as they both made their way back to where they got their poorly made weapons.

the rest of the day was just conversing with other crew members as a way of befriending new people. the day passed quicker than expected.

sunset was nearing, kazuha and [y/n] stood on the highest point of the ship, the main mast. it has only been a day and a half and the two already intrigued each other's presence. the cryo wielder was excited of what this new friendship could lead them to.

while waiting for the sun to set, kazuha and [y/n] talked about where they were from, whats their favourite hobby, food; basically getting to know each other without getting into further info about their past. which is understandable since they just met.

"you're saying that you can play music? from a leaf?" kazuha laughed at [y/n]'s surprised, impressed, confused facial expression.

"did i stutter?" the boy replied shakily after fitting into a few giggles. "no i was just clarifying if i heard things right." [y/n] replied as they laughed together.

they both died down and stared at each other. their bodies leaning on the same pole. the air caused kazuha to blink. "haha loser." [y/n] pointed at the boy amusingly.

did they just have a staring contest without anyone declaring one? yes. yes they did.

and so, the wait was finally over. the sun finally started to set, causing the sky to have a perfect mixture of brilliant red and orange hue.

they both silently enjoyed the moment. the wind softly gusts over their skin. the waves flowing calmly. a group of seagulls flying from the distance.

i could stare at this all day. [y/n] inhaled. then they averted their eyes to kazuha, his features shown beautifully, the shade of the heavens above them only making him look more ethereal.

the samurai felt eyes on him as he turned away from the horizon to look at the person beside him. neither of them questioned anything. they both shared the same thought in their head.

pretty..

that will be all for now :')
