Mizuki knew that they both needed this. After everything that took place it was more for Thalions sake then it was his own. When he heard that he had died the feeling that ran through his bodie at that moment was something he never wanted to feel again. So if he never wanted to feel it again he could only think of how Thalion must of felt. With that thought Mizuki wanted to make Thalion feel something other then that.

So thats what he did. It was long and slow as to not strain more then what was needed. By the time everything was complete he had his head resting in the crook of Thalions neck with his arms around the males shoulders hugging him and breathing deeply to steady his breathing once more "I love you..." He said into the crook of his neck before a light shiver raked his bodie. Even with the steam filled moment the water grew cold. "Bed..." He asked tiredly.

[Rosekitten]

Mizuki was right in thinking they both needed this. Even after it was all over with just having the other hold onto him feeling his body heat against his own bare skin. He knew Mizuki was alive but it was still something he never wanted to hear. Thalion knew his own time was limited even if he never told Mizuki, but that didn't matter to him at the present time.

He nodded a little lightly rubbing his head against Mizuki's before moving a little to help the other stand so he could get him a towel and get him dried off. After that was all finished he didn't even bother with clothes as he moved to get Mizuki into bed for he could rest, well so they could both rest. It was their house after all to hell with clothes till he had to get up again.

Once he got Mizuki settled into the bed he moved to lay next to the other staying close to him. It was odd for Thalion to even remotely act clingy, but between everything over the past few days he just wanted to be close to him.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki snuggled into the warmth of the bed not as much though as when Thalion joined him. After the hot bath and romatic moment he just wanted to rest and sleep. Curling up into Thalion he gave a little hiss as muscles protested the movement. Setteling in there was nothing on his mind but the warmth the other gave. Soon he closed his eyes and his breathing evened out.

Mizuki was out cold. The combinataion of heat and soreness made the world around him blacken as he passed out. He didnt even notice the opening of the door as an angered Neimi entered, nothing but Thalion mattered at that moment.

[Rosekitten]

Seeing as Mizuki had fallen fast asleep before Neimi had entered Thalion dealt with her. "Your both suppose to be resting, you freaked the nurse out who went to check on you two and you were no where." She was tapping her foot before he spoke up. "He wanted to come here.. even if i told him no he would have tried to get here, so helping him at least ensured he didn't hurt himself further."

She sighed heavily before rubbing her forehead. "You two.. stop getting beat up.. " She finally said. He looked at her a moment before she went on. "You two and Raden are the only thing I have to call family .. I can't lose you both from being reckless." Thalion nodded a little before telling her he'd try to be more careful.

With that she retreated to her own room, being worn out from her duties. She knew that they'd be fine here but she had worried they might be out trying to do something else stupid.

Mizuki slept peacefully during the night. There was nothing that woke his slumber as he was warm and content. Though the early morning work him. It seems as though his bodie was healing faster then he first thought. Seeing that he was up he looked over and noticed how peacefully Thalion looked. Being carefull as not to wake him Mizuki moved slowly till he got up and off the bed.

His muscles were week and sore but he needed to gather his strangth. The battle that has long since ment to happen was comming to an end and he needed to be ready. With that thought he moved away from the bed to a spot on the floor. This is where he began to stretch each muscle of his body. Twisting and contorting he stretched.

This is how Thalion found him though in a more suggestive way then he would care to admit. Mizukis hair was down and flowing around a bare upper body splayed down and around his back as he stretched. His arms were reached far out infront of him as if trying to grab something just out of his reach. His chest lay flat on the ground as his rear end was high in the air rested on bent knees.

[Rosekitten]

He only woke up because it was getting to be the normal time he was awake. Though he wasn't expecting Mizuki to not be next to him when he awoke. Not that he would complain one bit once he found Mizuki. He sat where he was for a moment before speaking, he couldn't help but look at him. The pose was hardly helping him though.

"You know if you stay like that much longer you might find yourself doing another form of stretching.." He said it with a slight smirk. He couldn't help himself he had to say something, he was sure Mizuki wouldn't mind the comment though. Though Thalion wasn't kidding by what he said, this pose was taunting.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki smiled at the comment Thalion made from there he brought his arms up and he placed his p[alms flat on the ground. Then with this he moved his legs under him and pushed up so that his palms lay flat infront of his feet with his ass raised high into the air "Is that a bad thing?" He asked looking at Thalion frun under white locks that draped down and covered the light blush he had on his cheeks.

In truth it was not his intention to get Thalions reaction this way just from stretching out tense muscles but hey if it worked he would take it. Mizuki smiled "And...what else would be stretching?" He asked with a smile

[Rosekitten]

He shrugged a little. "Not a bad thing." He laughed slightly before getting up to get some clothes. When Mizuki asked what else would be stretched he grinned a little. "Do I really need to answer that?" He wasn't going to give in to answering that question. Aside form that it's not like he had time to do that this morning.

"Before Neimi finds me and says I have to rest another damn week I think I'm going to go see how bad off those trainees are." He sighed a little knowing all too well they probably didn't do much training while he was on his leave. Aside from that he was more then tired of sitting around, the fact Neimi had made sure he stayed resting had taken it's toll. If his group didn't train at all someone should probably feel sorry for them.

[Pinkie]

Smiling Mizuki changed his placement once more turning around he stood straight before falling backwards his hands out stretched before he made grabby hands towards Thalion "Then give me a kiss before you leave" He said moving his head to look back at Thalion his loose hair falling to lay on the floor.

Mizuki could move and stretch any way you asked of him. For being tall it was a great task but it was one thing he loved doing non the less. It kept his bodie lean and strong so with the past events he has alot of stretching todo "I would come...but I need my stretches" He said softly.

[Rosekitten]

He smirked a little before going over to give Mizuki what he had wanted. Kissing him he made a comment near his ear before leaving it at that. "Keep teasing.. " He knew he wasn't really doing it on purpose, though after his first comment Mizuki might be doing some of it on purpose.

He started to walk out of the door when he heard the other comment about he needed his stretching. "Oh I'm sure I'll get my own workout... damn slackers I know none of them kept practicing.." He grumbled a little before walking out of the door and shutting it. There was the thought that he needed training himself due to the magic he had though he wasn't going to willingly bring that up.

After a while he managed to gather any of the trainees that remained after the raid recently. He looked over them before he bothered speaking. "Because I already know the answer I'm not going to waste my time to see how many of you are going to lie about it." A few of the expressions told him he was right about what he would have asked anyway. "Well what the hell are you all standing around for, you know your drills now get to them before I change my mind that I'm in a good mood today."

[Pinkie]

Mizuki smiled at the comment. Yes it was true he was teasing him but he couldnt help it from the comment that he made. When Thalion left Mizuki sighed before continuing his stretches he could do it for hours and he planned on it. He continued through out the day never stopping not even when Neimi growled at him saying he shouldnt be doing it. Up until she left in a huff because he didnt stop.

Each stretch and movement was differnt the whole time. Not once did he use the same one twice. Moving in a way now that he peered outside he saw something that made him smile. The day has went and gone and he saw Thalion walking up to the door through the window.

Mizuki now changed so he was sitting on the floor all but doing the slits. His chest rested flat on his right leg as his arms reached out and held onto his foot as his left leg stretched out behind him. This is how Thalion found him. Hair all around him and face hidden.

[Rosekitten]

He had to admit he was more then worn out from today, they hadn't trained at all so some of them had digressed in what he had been training them all this time. He probably pushed himself a little too hard after being gone for nearly a week but still, it kept him from sitting down and doing nothing all damn day.

Once inside he leaned against the door still muttering a few complaints that if he ever got them battle ready it'd take the goddess' blessing. Though his complaints stopped for a moment when he noticed Mizuki was still stretching or appeared to be, either that or he had pulled something and was stuck that way on the floor. "Did you really do that all day?"

[Pinkie]

Mizuki smiled at the voice before he moved sitting back up and stretching backwards while bending his left leg up so his foot all but touched his head and he looked to Thalion "What if I did?" He asked with a little smile "I told you I needed my stretches" He said beofre moving and changing again this time he rested on his lower back and shoulders. His arms supported his back as he lifted his legs and body into the air. "So...I am doing them all" He said with a smile seeing the look on Thalions face.

Every pose that Mizuki did not only stretched muscles and cracked joints it also opened the magical flow ways with in his body causing his muscles to strengthen with out a work out. It also healed his body the more he stretched. He would teach every pose to Thalion one day.

[Rosekitten]

He held his hands up a little when Mizuki spoke. "I didn't say a word about it, just asking." He didn't think that staying here all day stretching was quite that big of a deal but if Mizuki wanted to do that all day then by all means he was free to. He was rather surprised Neimi didn't stop him or something.

Shaking his head a little he took a few steps before sitting on the sofa. "I swear I'm going to have to kill some of those trainees before they start figuring out what the hell they need to do." Thinking that much damage could be done in such a short amount of time, but it had turned his year worth of training on them into them being lazy again.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed as he did one last stretch before standing and walking over to where Thalion sat. He then sat then laid down so his head rested on Thalions thighs with his hair flowing down his legs. Mizuki looked up with a cute smile "They just need some one to believe in them" He siad with a little shurg "They are scared and the more training they do the more they begin to realize times almost up for some of them"

Mizuki was always the mysterious think eveything out of the box type of guy so the answer he gave Thalion was just that "As long as you keep doing what your doing they will learn" He said softly looking up at the tierd expression of the other male.

[Rosekitten]

He shook his head a little. "If i can help it they won't fall.. Neimi's lasted this long and she's a human.. it proves that whatever I was doing works." He sighed a little before looking down at Mizuki. "They just need to keep up with it. I can't always be there to babysit." Thats what annoyed him the most. Not that he could say much he wasn't taught to fight till after his parents were dead.

"Always tomorrow, I don't plan on getting beat up anymore so they won't be getting any further vacation time." He seemed a little distracted on this. Though he had the right to be, these were lives on the line. Mages had it a little easier with ranged but some of these trainees were melee fighters. They had to be right out in the middle of it all.
