*    @veilgency  ›     it’s been well.    [ oddly deadpanned,  but helia offers a small smile as he turns in his seat to face the other.  the man way he’s as the mourn appears,  and he leans forward to scoop her onto his lap the moment she nears. ]    and what about you two?  how are you.

            oh i didn't need much.  just thought i'd stop by and see how things are going.  akari also wanted to pay you a visit too,  so there's that  [  as he spoke,  the small wandering mourn had perked up at the sight of helia before padding her way over to the tattooist and hugging his leg  ]

            given the new name akari by exorcist minato himself,  they work as a duo to rid eiareum of dangerous mourn.  unsheathing his sword allows for akari to temporarily gain control of his body,  enhancing his physical capabilities to shocking degrees in exchange for the risk of the mourn steadily taking over his body completely.  to combat this issue,  he instead uses various other ornaments and weapons in most scenarios,  only unsheathing akari when in dire situations.
            
            due to akari's main form of energy consumption consisting of eating other mourns,  both sides are in agreement to only kill them while akari possessed his body in order to avoid any potential risks of ingesting other mourns into his physical body.
            
            when travelling through crossings,  especially returning to the civilization side of eiareum,  the sheath of exorcist minato's sword acts as a sealing barrier to contain akari and protect her from being harmed.

            ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5 YEARS AGO ]
            during said incident,  the normally dormant drowning god ████ at the time had ran rampant,  managing to escape through an unstable crossing in search of sustenance.  minato along with many other varying exorcists were then sent out by the veil order in order to contain ████ before further fatal damage could be made to eiareum's civilization.
            
            records state that despite the successful slaying of the draconic god with its head being severed from its body,  it was shortly after reported to shift into a regressive state.  similarly to the vidyahara of the xianzhou alliance,  ████ showed signs of entering a reincarnation process,  resulting in turning into a drastically smaller and less harmful form compared to its previous.
            
            some time later after long-awaited discussions between the veil order had been made,  it was unanimously agreed upon by them to issue minato himself with watching over and controlling ████ in anticipation to see what the now reincarnated mourn would be capable of — seeing this as an opportunity to gain an upper hand against the more life threatening mourns that still roamed around and threatened the peace of their civilization.

unanticipatedly──the intention wasn't to cause the male to cry. ⠀"  you're..  crying?  " ⠀blinked inho.  the onyx orbs widens,  an other hand supports and soothes over the flushed cheek..  thumb swiping off the warm tears that dare falter. ⠀"  kaoru.  you don't have to prove anything to me  ..  you're enough as you are.  "

            kaoru didn't notice himself getting misty-eyed at hearing inho's words,  his slight tears dropping against the other's neck as he tightly returned the embrace〝  i promise i'll do everything i can to make you happy.  you deserve so much more that i'm afraid i won't be enough.. ＂

he could definitely feel him smiling,  merely short against his neck. ⠀"  i'd be very lucky.  nothing's more fulfilling but being with you,  kaoru.  this time,  i won't let you go.  " ⠀an arm wraps to his waist,  keeping him still. ⠀"  i will always choose you over anything else.  "

            〝  based off the writing,  it's clear how nervous she was to write this letter.  but she still did it despite the clear flaws.  i think that says a lot already ＂ he couldn't help but admire the student's dedication,  a digit gently running along each word as he read through it〝  genuine words come out naturally when you're feeling it in the moment that any errors made are usually ignored if it means you get your point across in the end.  but if she still wants it to be perfect,  then we'll definitely help her ＂

"  i like how you think.  " ⠀a huff of laughter,  inho then resumed to read the love letter..  yet he cannot help but criticize the poorly written confession. ⠀"  her grammar is all over the place.  and her writing has a lot of errors  ..  this must be a draft.  there's a lot of it scribbled around.  " ⠀and a hum,  he's quick to concur to kaoru’s statement. ⠀"  yeah,  what a lucky person.  people these days don't do letters anymore,,  so doing it traditionally is also very sweet of her.  "

            〝  you'd be begging me to sit on your lap otherwise if i didn't do it myself.  so greedy ＂ his cheek idly rest against the side of inho's head after the other was properly settled down.  there was a peaceful silence shared between the two,  with kaoru occasionally muttering a few of the written words to himself〝  you can tell she cares a lot about them in the words alone ＂

            the editor's legs that remained against inho's side squeezed lightly against his waist to encourage the other to come closer.  the affectionate ministrations of the ravenette made him go so easily weak as he was being spoiled〝  knowing you,  we wouldn't even be able to make it back to your place,  better yet your car,  if we stopped now.  you should take responsibility for your actions.. ＂ he breathlessly said before once more having their lips press together in a gentle and slow kiss

"  it is.  " ⠀a light chortle,  the aversion gave him the opportunity to leave wet kisses further,  each one placed in a methodical step until his lips brushed against his. ⠀"  i suppose..  it's my utmost need for you.  " ⠀a hand boldly drags his shirt upwards,  enough to expose his torso.  satisfied,  his digits found that familiar little bud. ⠀"  do you want me to stop?  "

            kaoru could feel his pulse quicken with every move inho made,  the light bite against his neck only making the editor even more lightheaded than he already was〝  w-was it now?  i almost forgot.. hah... ＂ his gaze remained averted as his face slowly became flushed a soft shade of red〝  then..  mind humoring me about what you'd call this? ＂

            〝  our club can be busy at times,  but not this early.  i'm usually the only one there while the others are out doing whatever.  so you don't have to worry about any naps being disrupted ＂ he lightly added in his last comment out of amusement after remembering the couple of times he noticed inho sleeping during class〝  the choice is ultimately up to you if you want to join me.  i won't force you after all.  just know you'll always be welcome ＂ and with that,  he opened the classroom door before leaving after giving the other a small wave  ( ... ) that was until he decided to instead lean against the wall nearby the classroom's sliding door,  hidden away as he wanted to see if inho would actually follow him or not

"  i don't have the motivation.  that's all.  i..  don't want to force myself.  " ⠀he leaned back to the teacher's table,  blankly staring by the doorway that was ajar.  yet,  upon hearing his classmate’s offer,  he considers it awhile. ⠀"  do you have members there?  "

            〝  what's stopping you from trying to find something to be passionate about now?  i'd say you have a lot of time to think about it if you put in the effort ＂ he commented while briefly walking back to his desk to gather his bag before heading towards inho once again〝  how about this:  would you like to come with me to my clubroom?  you don't have to worry about doing anything and are free to just watch and relax ＂ he offered with a smile,  seeing that his own club activities was going to start in a few minutes

            〝  that's only because rumors lead to gossip,  and i don't like being the center of attention.. ＂

"  ah,  okay..  last time you were just really shy you know.  with the students and rumours being thrown around.  "

            〝  i am a little hungry..  oh alright then.  and why would you think that?  i'm fine with us being seen together ＂
