[He's attentive as he listens — completely entranced, Cy's words playing out clear and distinct pictures in his mind, dragons of various sizes formed of water with colorful scales. Pink and blue and yellow and orange. He can hardly stretch his own imagination so far, but the empathetic element fascinates him to a degree that he wonders how it would feel, what it would be like to interact with, how the dragons learn the complexity of such emotion over time... And Pearl, of course, in her immense antiquity. That captivates him to an indescribable measure.

By the end of it Sasuke is half-sitting upright on his bent elbow, expression open, rapt with an almost childlike wonder that shows his age more than the typical frowns and furrowed brows.]


They sound incredible. [Low, awed.] I'd be honored to meet them.

[If he could see all of the places, meet all of the people Cy has known who still live — it might be enough.]

Orange was love... [Of course, his mind drifts to Naruto. He can't help it.] Then what was red?

[The young, awed look on his face dims to something softer, and Cy's remark about the dogs coaxes a huff of laughter.]

That's cute. I suppose they still had the best intentions in mind, even if they might view us differently. More limited in the way we communicate.

[Sasuke props his chin on his hand, braced in that half-raised position.]

Sometimes I thought I've felt that before, during battle... another person's emotions. But, I think it was only my own, projected back to me. [He hums, thoughtful. 'Empty but not lonely' — it's a sentiment he finds hard to envision, perhaps because he's never felt one without the other.] You're more of a cat than a dog.

[He goes along with it, tipping onto his back and splaying his legs to cradle the warm weight of Cy's body between them, awash in the easy affection and intimacy of the conversation. There is no tomorrow, no yesterday — he is singularly focused on this moment. The adoring way he looks at Cy attests to it, a soft openness he has gone most of his life unable to express.]

Then I've seen my reflection twice. [In his opponents and in his blade.] Only one left.

[It's not hard to ignore the places where he's sore and aching when Cy is in front of him. That touch sweeps damp hair off his brow, revealing both eyes, one dark and one pale.]

... Orange. [He has to think back to the ones Cy had mentioned, mouth twitching playfully.] Yellow. Blue, perhaps some red. [His right hand lifts, settling at the back of Cy's neck.] Hm. I feel purple, but I don't know what that one means.

[He scoffs — an effect lost by the smile Cy manages to pull out of him with that joke. Smiles come easier around this man.]

I would've believed the first one if you hadn't told me. [The nuzzling coaxes him to lift his chin, supplying Cy's lips better access to his throat.] The day collar is like jewelry, isn't it?

[At least, as he understands; he hasn't seen too many with his own eyes beyond a few shop displays. A shift of legs draws them a little more snug around Cy's hips.]

... I'd consider it. I don't think it's something that makes sense concealing at this point — our relationship. Though, I wouldn't feel comfortable announcing it to a stranger. [Cy already knows his tendency toward modesty in that realm.] Do you want me to?

[A little shy, his gaze slides away, though it comes back — studying Cy through a screen of lashes. Don't read his thoughts and perceive his engagement plans.]

I'd like that too. What sort of day collar would you pick out? I don't know much about them, or how they would look.

[But if it feels anything like wearing the collar for Cy, then he knows it will be worth it.]

A circle like the ring on a collar. I wouldn't be against something like that, unless we came up with another idea.

[His hand strays across one of Cy's shoulders, feeling the shape of muscle, the warmth of skin under his palm.]

So, you own me. [A callback to the tail-end of the scene — but maybe he does genuinely want to believe it, tipping his chin up.] Purple is good. It would match the other one.

Engineering ring? Was that something you made?

[Obviously, if it was important to Cy — then it's important to Sasuke.]

You might be able to ask for it back. Occasionally there are opportunities.

[He watches as Cy's mind begins to work through the problem, a brilliance whose shine has not diminished even across countless years — and his own expression is soft, distracted from the question. He blinks and takes a moment to fix his thoughts back.

When you're too busy admiring your boyfriend to pay attention —]


Ah, my normal katon might work, if it's hot enough. I do have a technique more powerful than that... it's called Amaterasu. Black flames. But — there's a possibility it will melt too fast. It doesn't leave much behind.

[yeah I can vaporize stuff with my magic eyeballs??]

I don't know the exact temperature. I've heard it described to be as hot as the surface of the sun, but it could be an exaggeration. How much is that?

[??????]

Are there different colors?

[He didn't know math, why do you think he'd know this?]

[iyaaa cyram-sensei.]

I don't know if I see more, but... it does allow me to visualize a person's chakra as color. Though that ability has been almost useless since coming to these dimensions. [He can still sense foreign power, just with less clarity.] My sun is yellow.

[He tilts his head thoughtfully.]

Sometimes orange, though. And a deep red when it's close to the horizon. It changes. Is the temperature changing too?

Kind of, but it's vague. It's more of a feeling or a sensation than color, which is probably why I find it so difficult to track you. [And he suspects it is more Kulo Vayn's energy, given the taint to it.] Over time, however, I've improved. Sometimes I'll sense you before you've teleported into the room with me. Or when you teleport an item — it feels like static, or a cold wind before it happens.

[Perhaps it is the Sharingan adapting to Cy's presence; he can't say for sure. This is all uncharted territory now — his ancestors were unlikely to have gone this far with their power.]

... This is complicated. I'll see if there are any textbooks about the sun in the library.

[what were we even talking about]

For a... oh.

[They have done this — too many times to count, by now, but Cy's abrupt proposal still tints his face a little pink.]

Really? I came a lot, compared to you.

[Yes, he knows. It's not transactional. But it does feel extremely favored toward his own pleasure, and perhaps it's difficult to swallow that outright, even as his legs shift beneath Cy's weight, rapt to the nearness of that mouth in their naked state.]
