Jema'grethy: Memory Cave

[voidtreckermods]

Passengers see a vision, an instance of someone's life, before just as suddenly - they find themselves inside a cave. It is light, a strange moss glowing on the walls and ceiling illuminates the cave nicely, and it is large enough for them to pace around in without trouble.

They're not alone. In the cave with them is another voidtrecker; maybe someone they know well, or maybe someone they've only seen in the aisles of the train. But they are together in this cave, and they will come to find out that it was one of their memories that the other witnessed. And them, one of yours.

The cave has no exit, at least not yet. They know that it will, eventually. When the time is right.

But for that time to come, they first must talk...

(OOC: Memories can be written either in this post or over here)

B-Bro!!

Inigo's eyes suddenly grow wide when his head is nudged up like that - a small act of assistance that is definitely needed, since Inigo wouldn't have moved his body by himself. He looks surprised, like he's realising what's about to happen even a moment before it actually happens. Tidus's face getting closer, those lips pressing against his own..

A heart starting to pound faster in Inigo's chest. Maybe it's since he was already emotional in the first place, or maybe it's since he's just such a simple, simple guy, but he just can't help the way it reacts to that kiss.

"That's cheating," he mumbles.

But it definitely seems more embarrassed in a pouty sort of way now rather than embarrassed. B-Bro, can't use your handsome charm against him and his sadness, okay! It's too powerful..!!

[blitzcheer]

A chuckle hums up from his throat and to his mouth, and he lets his hand brush back along Inigo's cheek to the space of his head under his ear, fingers pressing close to the nape of his neck. More of him to hold, and cherish.

"I'll cheat if it makes you happy," he teases. He can make that into a promise, but also: "I'll always have your back, no matter what you do - I want to be there for you. That's part of why I wanted to do this: so we had each other...a little more."

Despite how well they already do, without this bonding thing. But if it can be a reassurance, a touch of brightness to an otherwise gloomy hour, or day-

"But if a kiss can make you happy," he goes on, lightening the mood (and with a sultry edge), "--then I can give you a lot more of those."

heyyy bro.

"It does," Inigo mumbles. It does make him happy.

He'll gladly take the extra physical contact from Tidus though as he's standing there. At first he just seems to indulge in it without doing anything in return, but then his hands reach out, first landing on Tidus's shoulders, and then slowly sinking lower, resting on the other's back, fingers drawing idle circles against the back of his shoulder blades.

Because he's thinking. But in a good way, for once. The sort of way that gets him to calm down a little, untangle the mess of feelings in his chest.

"I know I get all stupidly upset, but it's.. fading a little now. Promise. Knowing you're here, and thinking about it.. that does make me happy."

And having the bond? Well, it'll probably help with that, since Inigo remembers feeling it within himself whenever Gyousou had an intense feeling - it might let the other know when one of them isn't feeling too great, so they can help.

"This. This-- This right now," he says, almost unable to find words for it. How does he call it? This indescribable feeling between them. There's no specific word for it. "It helps."

[blitzcheer]

He hadn't been expecting it, hadn't been thinking about anything but making Inigo feel better, calmer; but as the fingers touch at his back, give him that return in touch, Tidus sinks into the feeling. Small but comforting, encouraging him to weave his own fingers together where they hang, pressing up against Inigo's skin.

This feeling, it's the same as the other struggles to find the words for. This zone around them, the bubble they make that's just for the two of them. Isn't this exactly why he knew bonding with Inigo would be worth it?

"I'll ground you, whenever you need it." A promise, not immediately spoken, but eventually. "I know you'll ground me too."

When he needs it, and doesn't even know that he does. But isn't that all the time? Someone to keep him sane on this crazy ride.

A light spills in from somewhere at their side, a warming presence that brings the knowledge that they can go now, as soon as they're ready. Tidus doesn't rush to move, but feeling that permission to leave, he does get a very brilliant idea, to ask in a low voice:

"Wanna find a private place to go and make out?"

Y/N/Maybe????

A question like that, especially following up on a sweet moment like this, can only have one response.

Or rather - it has a very specific mix of responses. Because a lot seems to be happening with Inigo all at once. He seems very flustered, judging by the blush on his cheeks, but there's a very obvious eagerness about him as well. The ends of his lips curl up, though he seems to be trying to actively fight it in the moment, and he glances away for a moment before his gaze darts back to Tidus, excited and nervous all at once.

"Sure," he says at first, but then it's followed up by an: "Of course," that betrays his excitement a little more.

His hand reaches over to grasp a hold of the other guy's, and he tugs on it, leading the two of them towards the exit.

As if he'd ever say no to that.
