What god-modding there is has been approved. Topic and action likely to wander to NSFW areas and possibly triggery.It had taken him longer to recover than he expected, but Kusuriyuri had finally convinced Kurama that he was well enough to return to his office for the day. He had almost had to threaten his lover with wards to make Kurama go to the

Kuronue had a rising sense of trepidation in his chest. He was embarrassed about having nightmares at all, let alone having someone other than Yukimura know about it. Kusuriyuri was still a fresh addition, and while he was used to fresh additions, he wasn't used to fresh additions that remained. To fight this, rather than knocking on Kusuriyuri's door, he let himself in. It might have been rude, yes, and he felt the warning pressure of the wards, but they didn't seem to act.

He plopped himself before Kusuriyuri with a sigh, looking sombre and as relaxed as one could be in a situation like this. He waited for the other to speak, watching him.

Kusuriyuri watched Kuronue for a long moment. "What Yukimura has said, that is what you desire?" he asked. "To find healing for the cause of your nightmares?"

Hesitating for a moment, Kuronue nodded. "I've lived with them my whole life. It's...who I am."

He wasn't sure he wanted to go into all the details of why he was the way he was with Kusuriyuri. It had been...difficult to tell Yukimura, but he'd felt that he'd deserved to know. With Kusuriyuri it would be a little harder. Kurama was aware if his history, but he didn't think Kurama would have told him.

He frowned. "But." He rubbed at his face. "I don't want to bite Yukimura's fingers off in my sleep or something. or whomever else I happen to fall asleep around."

"And you fear losing part of yourself if you are healed?" Kusuriyuri asked. "That the nightmares are needed?" He was aware of the hesitation and having Yukimura approach him first caused him to believe that Kuronue was far more reluctant than he wanted to admit; that the only reason he came was that he didn't want to hurt his lover.

Kuronue returned to Kusuriyuri the day after he'd fallen asleep in the boat with Kusuriyuri, thinking that they would likely want some time together before he returned. He went hunting for Kusuriyuri in their apartment, thinking it was more of a nicer environment than in his office.

once again he didn't knock on the door, simply just let himself in. "Kusuriyuri?" he called.

Kusuriyuri had been in the kitchen making tea when Kuronue arrived. The cats, not being involved in pouring hot water over tea leaves, went out to greet their friend first. "Please come in," he called over his shoulder, pulling down another cup.

Closing the door behind him, he made his way to the kitchen, pointedly ignoring the cats as they milled around his legs and brushed against them. He wasn't wearing shoes, again, so he could feel their fur as he nudged them away. "Your cats are masochistic, I think," he said, staring down at them when he reached the doorway to the kitchen.

"They find you interesting because you do not give them attention," Kusuriyuri said solemnly. "They desire what they cannot have." He turned to face Kuronue. "I am glad that you have come again. Today's session will be different from the last. First, we will talk over tea, then we will continue," he said.
