I'M SORRY, I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU SOONER

it was a little while ago, i was sparring with polnareff and he pissed me off so i hit him with it.


[as one does.]

I'm not sure if I can do it again, at least not reliably. But I'll give it another try if you want to meet me somewhere.
lapidarius: (know you think I need a lot)

[you two are so excited stop being cute]

How about somewhere near the park? It's easier than running all the way to the beach.

[race u there]

[Kakyoin would probably get there first (he already wasn't too far off), standing around in a turtleneck and leather jacket with a wide and excited grin on his scarred face. Maybe he could do it again and maybe not...but he'd done it once. Even if he failed today, once was better than never having done it at all. Right?]


Hey--over here.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. A couple of other things came up and I guess it just completely slipped my mind. It won't happen again, I promise.

[His own smile only turned brighter in response--it was contagious seeing his friend/teacher/sort-of-family this happy for once.]

Like I said, I'm not sure I can do it again. Just as fair warning.

[Hierophant appeared curled around his hand, extending behind its user and splitting off into several tripwires.]

...but I'll do my best.

[He answered with a slight nod, trying to focus. How'd he done this so easily last time?]

[...if he thought about it, that was an easy question to answer. The problem was that he thought and overthought every breath and action he took. And when he'd sparred with Polnareff, that brilliantly strategic mind had watched Polnareff refuse to take attacks his opponent was open for, let himself be put at a disadvantage even while Kakyoin kept pushing without hesitation.]

['You say you're fine, but I saw you nearly cut in half not a week ago, Kakyoin, I can't just--']

[He knew why. He understood. But it pissed him off enough to shove thought into the backseat and let frustration become his driving force.]

[Shut up. Shut up, shut up, don't you dare look at me like I'm going to break.]

[If he tried to bring up that bitter frustration, maybe it would be that straightforward again. Maybe he could take a few slow, measured breaths even as his grip on Hierophant curled into something tense and white-knuckled. Breathe, focus, forget how understandable Polnareff's hesitation was and focus on how goddamn angry he was about it.]

[Hamon sparked down his arm and through his hand--Hierophant was no different than his own body, so letting it continue through the coil he held and arcing along the tripwires behind him took only a minute's concentration and anger along with some careful breaths to match it.]
lapidarius: (pick me up and dust me off)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-04-02 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? [Scarred eyes blinked a few times, Kakyoin quickly snapping himself out of that thought process. Hierophant pulled back as well, curling around its user's arms.]

What--was there something wrong with that?
lapidarius: (into the distance)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-04-02 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
--?

[Startled, he fumbled for what to do or how to react before things clicked in his head--of course. Related or not (and he wasn't sure anymore) Caesar really was too much like him. The same short fuse and harsh temper, most of all. So...of course he would understand. Of course Caesar of all people would realize what approach Kakyoin took that yielded actual results.]

...thanks.

[Kakyoin thought he might never get used to the feeling of being so easily understood by people, but...it wasn't so bad. It was enough that he returned that hug with a matching one of his own, letting a slow and hesitant smile break out on his face for just a minute.]
lapidarius: (fragments of dreams into eternity)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-04-07 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
...I know. [Kakyoin dropped his head against Caesar's shoulder--anger and frustration were nothing new, but having that be the driving force behind any power he had was foreign and a little concerning. Tiring.]

I'll get it eventually.
lapidarius: (into the distance)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-04-07 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[The gesture wasn't one he objected to or complained about; quite the opposite, Kakyoin seemed to latch on to Caesar even more securely. It wasn't something he'd usually do with most people; nearly anyone, in fact.]

[Caesar wasn't 'nearly anyone'. Caesar seemed more like Kakyoin's own mirror image as much as anything else. Someone who understood--Stand user or not--how he felt, how he thought, what he'd been through.]

[For not nearly the first time, he wondered if this was what having an older brother would have been like.]


Right. That's...we're good at things like that. Brilliant and stubborn, right?

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-04-07 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Not a single word was said about Kakyoin's hair being unexpectedly disheveled; in fact his only real reaction was a small, honest laugh.]

I don't really have a lot of things I like to do that much, I'm afraid.
lapidarius: (hands striving to fill this void)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-04-07 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so--I mean, I like studying, reading, maybe painting once in a while...that's not really 'nothing', right?
lapidarius: (new day will dawn)

[personal profile] lapidarius 2016-04-07 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Mostly just...textbooks, lately. Primarily geology, but I should probably look into a couple other things.
