01. ) FOR KORO


//////////////////////////////// NIGHTWAKE ////
( This is what you get for going outside. This is what you get.

Deki isn't really afraid of the dark, not in the childish sense. He never has been, really; in fact, the dark usually brings him a great deal of comfort. His room is quite the cave.

But there's something eerie and terrible about the sky just being a sheet of starless black. It's upsetting in a deep, primal sort of way: a sense of wrongness about something one should always be able to count on.

So he's having a bit of a panic attack in Nightwake, unwilling to take a step further on the sidewalk. )


02. ) FOR TENGAI


//////////////////////////////// HOME ////
Tenchan ...

( After being separated for what feels like too long with all that's happened in the city, Deki is a bit of a wreck when he comes home to Tengai. Things are a little less dire, but its still scary. All he wants is to collapse on Tengai and cling for dear life.

Maybe never let go.

Maybe tell him how much he adores him.

He settles for two of three, at least: bringing Tengai into a hug there in the living room, arms tight around his waist. )


03. ) FOR SHINO


//////////////////////////////// AMBERFALL ////
Whoa ... heh, deva-house is kinda cool ...

( Shino seems to be the only one home for now. Deki has brought some gifts in the interest of checking up on his favorite sixteen year old grandpa. Some Japanese-style snacks (low in sugar) and a few articles of clothing he thought he wanted but no longer does.

Stepping into deva's sharehouse, he kicks off his shoes and affords Shino a small smile. Look at him, he's even foregone the mask today. )


This might be a ... strange question, given everything, but ... are you well, Shino?

[That was...unexpected. The sudden darkness across the city has left Koro concerned, and feeling more or less "blessed" that he's used to dark areas.

Hell can get pretty dark at times.

Even so, if not sight, then Koro's other demonic senses would likely be a big help compared to any typical human walking the streets. Speaking of which...Koro definitely senses a presence, and a heavy one at that. Fear. Anxiety. Koro hates it. The very sensation makes him tense, reminds him of things he'd rather not think about.]


Hey. Are you alright? Come towards me, okay?

[Koro's voice is a stern concern, but gentle. Showing confidence and authority through a stoic voice, not the usual sultry husky tone that he usually gives. Too worried for his usual time...which is probably to his detriment. A human typically wouldn't like hearing such a random deep voice in the dark.]

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-05-17 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Wh-huh? Who? N-no, I can't ... can't move ...

( He is positively trembling at that voice, hugging onto himself like he's going to fall apart any moment out of pure fear. )
infernaltouch: (A sad icon I think)

[personal profile] infernaltouch 2025-05-17 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
!!

[Frozen from fear? Koro experienced such a thing in humans many times. His whole body tenses, being reminded of how often humans froze out of seeing him. Too painful to bear, Koro shakes his head of awful memories and intends to soothe the frightened human no matter what it takes. He can't just leave him there!]

Okay. I'm coming towards you then. Try to take deep breaths. You're going to be okay.

[His voice is softer now, as his heavy footsteps echo in the darkness.]
drowningtheoria: (04. 🎵)

SORRY KORO

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-05-19 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
P-please! J-just ... make it quick!

( Deki is absolutely not taking deep breaths; he's hyperventilating, crouching down to his knees, hands tangled up in his hair in extreme panic. )
infernaltouch: (GASP)

[personal profile] infernaltouch 2025-05-19 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
!! Okay okay! I'll hurry, just need to find you!

[KORO...THATS NOT WHAT HE MEANT...

But Koro does quicken his pace, and it only takes him a few seconds to find the source of the hyperventilating. Once he's sure of his location, Koro senses how low he is. Crouching? Koro kneels down and reaches out, feeling a panicked young man. He's definitely crouching. His hands feel around, trying to find the shoulder, then the arm, then finally he finds a hand.]


Hey...that's not good for your hair you know. Come on, it's okay. I have you now. You're safe.

[Koro tries to take the panicking man's hand in his to squeeze it tightly.]

I'm right here.
drowningtheoria: (Default)

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-05-20 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
( Deki makes a strange little shrieking noise when Koro comes close enough to touch. He doesn't jerk his hand away or anything; rather, he freezes. But the deep, soothing voice is right there and he's not hurting him.

Of course, he could only be trying to get his guard down ... )


Aah ... hah ... S-safe? 'm never safe, never ...

( He's taking big, shaky breaths to try to get them deeper, even, productive. That voice reminds him of Rikyo's. He can't call Rikyo's presence explicitly calming alone, but he can recall calm moments with him. With Kuramu and Tengai and Goemon.

Deki falls back hard on his ass (on purpose), unable to keep holding himself in that crouching position much longer. )
infernaltouch: (Gib smooch)

[personal profile] infernaltouch 2025-05-23 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hey...

[Koro shouldn't...it would make things worse, wouldn't it?

But hearing the man panic, hearing him hyperventilating in fear made Koro's chest hurt. Made him remember things of his last. How wicked souls would look at him. Fear him. See him as a monster. Scream in agony as he cut through their limbs with a dull, rusty saw blade...

He shouldn't. But unable to bear it, Koro does. He lunges forward and wraps the sitting man in his arms.]


I won't let anyone or anything hurt you. Not while I'm here.

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-05-23 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
( Deki is taken aback and feeling comforted all in one fell swoop; swept up into Koro's strong arms like that, hearing the promise and the conviction in his voice ... how could he not be?

A small voice nags at him as it always does, and how he suspects it always will: its all an act.

But he's seen kindness. He sees it in his branch-mates and colleagues and friends. He sees it in the Hiroshima Handead back home that look out for one another and that want to build a better world together.

And he sees it in Koro, too.

Deki takes in a deep, shuddering breath, though it doesn't shudder as much as before, and he hugs the man back. )


Thank ... thank you ...
infernaltouch: (well fuck)

More torture doictiona

[personal profile] infernaltouch 2025-05-23 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Koro isn't as relieved or happy. There's a trembling in his arms as he holds, a grit in his teeth. Images of screaming souls claw at his mind. Beg him for mercy. Begging that falls on irritated, indifferent ears as Koro bends their limbs in very creative ways.

Koro's eyes burn, tears filling the corners as he shuts them tight, trying to think about anything else, trying to focus on the man in his arms. When he feels the other hug back, however, an odd peace breaks his thoughts. His whole body relaxes, and finally the screams stop. Koro's back in reality now, reminding himself that there's a human here much more terrified than he is, much more in need of comfort. He needs Koro. Needs him to be the rock right now. That sense of duty grows his resolve even more, and the incubus tightens his embrace, face buried in the other's hair.]


Atta boy. Deep breaths.
drowningtheoria: (Default)

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-05-23 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you ... Ah, I ...

( Deki's hand at Koro's back seems, for a moment, like it might be grounding him at the same time. But that thought is fleeting in the face of the relief he feels.

He takes those deep breaths, getting them to even and steady. )


You didn't need to ... comfort me, but you did. You're v-very kind.
infernaltouch: (Surprised maybe????)

[personal profile] infernaltouch 2025-05-23 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I needed to. I couldn't just leave you there like that.

Ah...

The phone! Maybe our devices work...hold on...

[Koro murmurs to himself, shuffling about with his clothes until he takes out his phone. Fortunately it turns on!! Illuminating a tiny area, but it's still enough to reveal the one he's holding.]

Oh...you're that Dicky fellow.
drowningtheoria: (04. 🎵)

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-05-24 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Oh, it's ... Deki ...

( All he can do is look at Koro before it really sinks in that this guy is the one he was talking to. The one that might think he's some kind of pervert.

He does not know what to do or say for a few long beats. )


I-it ... uh, m-maybe its ... best to get out of ... a place like this.
infernaltouch: (LOOMING)

[personal profile] infernaltouch 2025-05-24 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, right, Deki.

[Really. He's worried that he appears as a pervert. To Koro. The one who is now giddy knowing that the man he just squeezed into his bosom was the masked virgin that tried to play innocent about ogling him in the sinder chat. Well, he certainly doesn't need to worry about such a thing!

Koro slowly gets to his feet, and gently takes Deki's arm to coax him to his feet at well.]


Yes. Do you live nearby? I'll try to help you get back home.
drowningtheoria: (Default)

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-05-31 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
( When Deki rises to his feet, he's a little wobbly, clutching onto his arm to steady himself. )

Um ... what's close? I ... live in Amberfall with ... Tengai.
infernaltouch: (Sad)

[personal profile] infernaltouch 2025-05-31 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Hm.

My apartment is a lot closer.

I'm not coming on to you or anything, especially not with what just happened, but I figured we'd be safer indoors than out.
drowningtheoria: (Default)

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-05-31 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
( He trusts Koro as much as he doesn't; its like two sides of him are warring for a brief moment. )

I think you're ... r-right ... Let's go then ... ?
infernaltouch: (A sad icon I think)

[personal profile] infernaltouch 2025-06-01 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Koro wants to say it. He really does. He would love nothing more than to tease Deki about being so willing to visit the home of someone he admires physically without so much as a word of protest or hesitance.

But he refrains. Deki is likely terrified right now. It would be cruel, wouldn't it? Koro can be shameless, but he knows when it's just not the right time...sometimes.]


Okay. Can you walk?

[He smirks, just so slightly.]

Or do you need me to hold you?

[GOD DAMN IT, KORO]
drowningtheoria: (Default)

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-06-22 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
( Deki is silent in the wake of Koro's question. Offer? Suggestive flirtatious quip?

He's silent for a bit longer than is normal, actually; considering the question. Being close to someone can be a nightmare if they're not Tengai ... but he's also not feeling up to walking and inevitably huffing and puffing just a few yards into it.

So ... )


Y-yeah ... uh, maybe. If it's no ... bother.
infernaltouch: (Surprised maybe????)

[personal profile] infernaltouch 2025-06-30 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Koro assumed the man would just sit there and stammer until he exploded. Perhaps he truly is exhausted? Koro feels a little bad for teasing him now.]

No bother at all. Promise.

[Koro gently reaches over and feels around for Deki's back and legs, and with one quick swoop he has him up in his arms like a blushing bride.]

You've seen my body. This is nothing.
drowningtheoria: (Default)

[personal profile] drowningtheoria 2025-06-30 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
( He just had to throw in "you've seen my body"; the recollection of the image on Sinder and then really feeling that solid muscle hoisting him up so easily has him squirming a little in Koro's hold. )

U-uh ... thank you ... ?

( He wishes he'd hold him some other way ... this feels weird, but he doesn't say anything. Mind racing a little. Maybe this is stupid, but he feels exhausted. )
