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 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.

[prettypendulum]

What Kusuriyuri said, he understood. Both he and Kurama had issues. Kurama had his own shit to sort out. He needed to let him do that while he sorted out his own issues. He nodded. "Yeah, I understand. Work on myself."

[edomedpeddler]

Kusuriyuri nodded. "Very good," he murmured. "Is there anything else you wished to discuss that happened or that you thought of before we continue?" he asked.

[prettypendulum]

He finished his cup of tea. "No, not really. That's it."

[edomedpeddler]

Kusuriyuri nodded, finishing his tea and setting it on the table. "Then, if you would lay down, either on the couch or floor, which ever is more comfortable."

[prettypendulum]

Kuronue set his cup on the table and slid off the couch, shifted his wings a little to fit between the couch and the table and laid down on the floor. He looked up at Kusuriyuri with faint interest.

[edomedpeddler]

Kusuriyuri moved the table out of the way so that he could kneel next to Kuronue. He let his hands rest on his lap. "Did you wish to witness or just allow me to work within?" he asked, centering himself as he waited for the answer.

[prettypendulum]

He thought about it for a bit. "Hm, no it's okay, I trust you." Kusuriyuri had seen as much of his mind as Yukimura had. If there was anyone he would have trusted to be in his head, it was Kusuriyuri.

[edomedpeddler]

Kusuriyuri bowed as he sat. "Thank you." He placed one hand over Kuronue's heart, the other over his forehead and closed his eyes, letting himself sink into Kuronue's mind

[prettypendulum]

It kind of felt like someone had their hand inside him and was shuffling things around. Keeping his eyes closed, Kuronue frowned and paid attention to each thing Kusuriyuri worked on. Though it fluctuated, it still felt like the other man was jerking on strings with his insides connected to the other end. Sometimes it was fine, other times he wanted to squirm away.

He stayed, thought. He wanted to get better.

[edomedpeddler]

It was almost a snap when that particular channel settled into a straight path. Those connected to it were still twisted, but this one was in a proper path. He began on a second path, one that also looked like it should connect Kuronue's core to his wings. This one seemed to want to be more persistent in it's remaining twisted, making him work harder to straighten it.

[prettypendulum]

Okay this...kind of hurt. The feeling was on the intense side of awkwardness, so much so that it had him clenching his jaws and trying not to growl. It was getting worse by the minute and just when he thought that something would happen, that his mind would force Kusuriyuri out, it began to lessen. Kuronue almost let out a sigh of relief.

[edomedpeddler]

The pressure eased and the pathway settled down into its proper course, though slower than the other had. Kusuriyuri waited to be sure the two would remain as they were, watching as energy began to flow. It was sluggish, but an improvement from before. He backed away, examining other channels before selecting one that connected the area where Yukimura's energy was and KUronue's core. He took a breath and began working on that one, sometimes finding it easy, sometimes having to work hard.

[prettypendulum]

Not for lack of wanting, Kuronue found this one wasn't as easy as the others had been. It was a different kind of ache, and didn't feel bad, but his body, his mind, was starting to protest to external forces messing with him. He could feel...something different in the rest of his body (his wings?) and so it was fine, but just...different.

He let Kusuriyuri work in silence.

[edomedpeddler]

It took longer than the others, but that pathway finally settled into place. Kusuriyuri drew back, remaining a moment, hovering, watching to see that they would remain, that energy would begin to flow through them. It was sluggish, but it was beginning. It was enough for now. There was still a lot more that needed to be done, but they were both in need of a break. Kuronue also needed to adapt to this change, to give him time to allow the new paths to remain open and not revert. Kusuriyuri needed to rest; this work took a lot out of him.

[prettypendulum]

Kuronue opened his eyes, noticed that Kusuriyuri looked taxed. "Are you okay?" he asked, squirming a little. His body felt...like it wasn't his own. It felt...different. His wings, his...bond, with Yukimura felt...looser.
