[Pinkie]

Mizuki had heard the foot falls of some one enter the tent and he knew right away that it was Thalion. Though he did not expect the male to walk over to where he was and just stand there. Was that all that he was going to do? Though that question ended the moment he felt lips on his. Blinking open his eyes he looked to Thalion though he gave a groan as he spoke.

"Back on this kick are we" He said with a frown before he shook his head "No thank you I am good where I am" He said with a little sigh. This was when he realized that he forgot his glass and it was half way across the room. Standing he looked to Thalion "Your not winning dont get that smug look" He said as he watched Thalion smile.

Walking over slowly he almost dragged his feet as he went. Grabbing the glass he tilted his head and cracked his neck. Walking back over to where he was before he placed the cup down on the little table. Looking at Thalion he sighed "You can stand there all night...and it wont change anything" He said lightly with a frown.

Mizuki knew that he needed sleep. His body hurt as well as his head and muscles that he never knew he had. But thats what the tea was for. With everything he had on his mind he couldnt sleep. He was happy and glad Thalion was better but it was not 100% the male he knew...not just yet.

[Rosekitten]

Yes back on this again was a way to put it. Mizuki needed sleep no matter how many times he drank his little mix or meditated. It was not making up for what his body was demanding and he was ignoring. Though he almost thought Mizuki was giving up when he stood, but it was a short lived thought as he was informed he had no won.

Oh but he had no intention of losing this time around. Not by a long shot. A few weeks ago he might have given up but not tonight. Even as Mizuki informed him that he could stand there all night and it would not change anything. Thal shrugged a little before speaking. "Well like i said your not getting a choice in the decision."

He figured Mizuki was going to protest so this was almost the plan from the start. Moving towards Mizuki he grabbed him before he picked the other up and started carrying him to the room. "like i said not a option." He repeated as Mizuki seemed to try to get himself released.

He was released but only once they were in the room and it was on the bed. "Unless you'd rather sit out there doing nothing instead of spending time together. You weren't doing anything productive anyway." Though even now Mizuki was complaining there was too much work to be done as he tried to sit up from the bed before being pushed back against it.

Keeping his hand on the others chest he had no intention of letting him go back out there to meditate or do whatever else the other thought was getting him through each day. "Your not leaving this room till morning... though that still leaves you with a few options."

[Pinkie]

Mizuki was in shock. He didnt expect Thalion to protest him staying awake let along picking him up and carrying him to the bedroom. Naturally he struggled the whole way even as he was placed on the bed he tried to get up. No there was to much to do and he knew that. He couldnt sleep or rest not when lived were lost every moment he did.

Moving to sit up he felt a warm hand touching his chest and pushing him back into the bed. Mizuki sighed closing his eyes for a moment before opening them and looking at Thalion with half lidded eyes. Reaching his hand up he touched the one on his chest with light fingers.

It took Mizuki a while to say anything. No instead he just layed there and watched the male above him. "What would you do if I pushed you aside and left?" He asked with a little tilt of his head before he sat up some. Looking right into Thalions face he smiled softly "OLr...what will you do to convince me?" He asked lightly his ears dipping back.

[Rosekitten]

He expected Mizuki to fight the whole time, that was easy to predict. He always felt like the world rested on his shoulders. But he had to take a break before he collapsed. A few days ago Luna thought he had done just that, but he had gotten back up and went about his day like nothing had happened. Besides that.. there were a few thoughts on Thal's mind from the past. Sure it was probably a bit selfish to say the least but he needed some time with the other. Not just staying near hi everyday but some time with just the two of them.

They didn't have to do anything but he planned to at least steal the other for a few hours. Or as long as he could keep him here without causing too much of a fuss. Though he looked at Mizuki as if asking if he seriously asked what he did. "I already told you.. your not leaving this room. Pushing me aside isn't in your options. Last time I checked there are quite a few binding spells that work wonders if you want to test my threat." He would too, at this point in time anyway. He wasn't letting Mizuki just blow off this off that easily.

"That depends on if your going to play nice or not." He smirked a little before kissing the other pushing him back against the bed again. "Though I'm not sure if I can do anything seeing as every time I give you a bit of slack you seem to act like your going to run off."

[Pinkie]

Mizuki raised an eyebrow at Thalions words. A binding spell...really? Oh all things he could of done or said it was about a binding spell? Though that thought alone made Mizuki think of things. Though it was the kiss that sdtopped his thoughts. Opening his eyes again he looked to Thalion as the male spoke once more.

Giving him slack and he would run. Yes it was true that in the past he may have done just that but now was a different time. Now he had the male before him and the one that he had not seen in seven years. There was no way that he was about to leave not with Thalion so close and finally 100% back to him. No Mizuki had waited for this day for a long time.

Leaning forward he placed a kiss beside the males lips before kissing a light trail to a dark lean neck before moving to a pointed ear "Alright..." Mizuki whispered "You win..." He said slightly as he moved and laid back into the bed softly crossing his arms as he went.

[Rosekitten]

He only mentioned a spell because if it came down to it yes odds are he could hold Mizuki there, but that normally ended up with Mizuki using a spell to free himself. Though he wouldn't have really done what he bluffed he would do. Not over something like this, especially when he was pretty sure he had ways of keeping the other here.

Though oddly he didn't get the fight he figured Mizuki was going to keep putting up. No instead he felt the other's lips against his skin causing a slight shiver to run from where the kisses where placed. This was harder then he was letting on. He was pretty much his old self but there were still plenty of memories he'd rather forget about and he was fighting to do so. No he wanted to just focus on Mizuki right now.. and forget that the last seven years he had been through hell with that damned witch.

"Heh.. the one time I've gotten to hear that from you." It was odd to hear those words from Mizuki. But he was glad he wasn't going to have to fight him just to keep him here. "So my love.. seven years is quite a while. Unless you were just giving in to the sleep part of my offer." He figured it was fair to tease the other a little. He wasn't sure if they had the same idea in mind or not, though he knew very well what he wanted form this. Sleep could come after.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki smiled as Thalion spoke. It was true. normqlly Mizuki didn't give in so easy but judging by the way Thalion spoke and the way he acted Mizuki knew what was on the males mind for it was on his as well. Even with the next words proving his point Mizuki could not help buy say what he did say "i thought I didn't have a choice in the matter" he said lightly looking up to Thalion above him.

Mizuki couldn't help but use the males words against him it was just to easy and from the look on Thalions face he expected it as well. Leaning up he rested on his elbow as he reached a hand up. Putting it on a dark cheek he looked right into amber orbs "it has been far to long" he said before leaning up and placing a light kiss on Thalions lips before laying back down.

Looking up with half kidded lavender eyes he gave a little growl as his hand moved from a cheek to a strong chest. Bunching his hand in the shirt he lightly pulled down and was greatfull that Thalion didn't protest as lips met again. This time it was hard and breath taking as all the longing and need from the past seven years came fourth as Mizuki rapped pale arms around the male he lo ed so dearly. Yes...Thalion was back.

[Rosekitten]

"Well.. I did say that... but if this is one sided.." Of course it wasn't but if Mizuki was going to play that game of turning his words against him. It was just a short lived one though as they both seemed to want the same thing. Probably about now he was glad it was so late in the night, the odds of them being bothered were slim to none. The last thing he wanted was for someone to need Mizuki... he'd turn into a afterthought as far as the other was concerned with the camp and its well being.

Too long indeed, even the simple touches from the other he had missed. Honestly he had no idea how much he had missed them over the years. Even after just one night of them being together he had longed for the feeling of Mizuki's skin against his own. Though in a way that same longing had kept him alive, the thought he could have his love again and things could go back to the way they were.

Things progressed a bit hastily at first, probably to be expected from two who had been forced apart for the last seven years. It didn't take too long for them both to calm down and settle into a different pace where they weren't acting like this was going to be the last time they ever got to be together. No for the moment breaths were still heavy as the two laid there.

Thal still not giving Mizuki the chance to run off just yet as he held the other close. After everything that had happened over the years and the rush of things just now. He didn't want Mizuki to just leave... No more like he needed the other to stay here, as his mind tormented him with the past and everything that had happened. Half thinking that this was just a fantasy he had conjured up to keep himself sane through it all. He knew that wasn't the case but it was hard to believe that this was real, at least to him.

[Pinkie]

It had taken no time at all for the two of them start but the act in itself was slow and Mizuki was glad for it. He needed to feel the touches and kisses of Thalion. After while they did settle though breaths came rapid as he laid there curled into the males side with a pale head resting on a dark chest. Moving his ARM he hugged the male close. Taking a deep breath his breathing began to slow and mellow as he began to drift asleep "love you..." Were his last words as sleep finally claimed him.

It had been so long since Mizuki slept that when he actually fell asleep nothing could wake him. He was warm and safe and his mind for once let him rest. It was not until the next day that he even came a little to waking but hid mind and body would not give up the sleep it has needed so quick.

When Mizuki finally did open his eyes he stretched with a sigh but realized that Thalion was no where in sight. Did he sleep that long? Getting up he dresses before leaving the room. Coming into the main area he saw Luna, Felix as well as Thalion sitting at the large table. Mizuki said nothing as he walked over and sat in the chair right beside Thalion. Placing his head on the males shoulder he yawned closing his eyes. The sleep was good but now his body demanded more.

[Rosekitten]

Felix was in the midst of saying something as Luna punched him suddenly with a glare. This as still taking some getting use to. Felix being hitched to one person, Luna of all the people. Though when they weren't at one another's throats they seemed happy enough. Well there was no telling if she really was happy about the expected baby.

"Don't you ave somewhere you need to be?" She said towards Felix before he shrugged a little. "Yes, pestering you to make sure your not over doing it." "Shes a few months expecting.. not due. Pretty sure she's allowed to almost whatever she wants." Felix shot a glare at Thal for not helping his case. It was funny to Thal for a few reasons, he never pictured Felix being devoted to anyone and.. "For someone who didn't want kids your a worry wort you know that?"

Of course Felix went on about how a number of things could cause her to lose the baby, this that and the other. Mizuki was out here by the time this last bit of the conversation was going on. As soon as the other sat down and rested his head closing his eyes again Thal knew something was wrong. He had probably over done it long ago and it finally caught up to him.Luna took the hint Thal had given her as she stood and sighed a little.

"Well I'll get this one out of your hair, need to track down that girl for her studies anyway." She said before leaving and dragging Felix with her. Once things were settled again Thal glanced at Mizuki who still had his eyes closed. "I think you still need some rest... I don't know if you can be any paler." Let alone he felt a little warm just resting there. Maybe it was all catching up to him at once?

"Come on, you can't sleep like this." He said trying to get the other to move with him so he could get him back to bed. Protests were sure to follow but he already had a lot of that taken care of. Thus why Luna and Felix where here. Minus a few things he could handle himself the rest of the camp should be able to manage a few days to allow Mizuki rest.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed as he shook his head "cant do it" he said his voice a little raspy as he spoke "i have already rested to long" he said opening his eyes again and moving his head. Sitting there for a moment he stood with a groan as his muscles protested each movement. Yes Mizuki knew that he was getting sick but he couldn't afford to be. Not with the camp and Neena to look after.

Moving about he started a fire and began gathering what herbs he needed from his stock so he could make something to help push him through the day. By the tome he sat back at the table with everything he needed he felt like he could pass out again. Of took everything in his power not to close his eyes for a moment. No instead they stayed at half mass as he blended his leaves together.

Right about this time was when he began to hear thalipns protests about how he nedded rest and fighting it was making things worse. "yea yea" he said with a huff as he heard more on the subject. "look..." He said but paused as a pain ripped through his stomach. Groaning be forgot what he was going to say as he all but dropped his head to rest on the table "dont even think it" he said aftef a moment knowing the I told you so was about to come.

[Rosekitten]

He sighed listening to Mizuki say he couldn't as he forced himself to go about the tent gathering what he needed and such. He tried to stop him before he did get worse. But no matter what he said or told the other it didn't seem to change his mind. He was just going to leave the other to his own doing but decided against that as every moment that went by he seemed to get worse.

When Mizuki finally did seem to stop and nearly double over in pain stating the other didn't need to say anything Thal sighed a little. "Well fine, but now are you going to bloody listen to me? I was trying to say I already took care of whatever could possibly need to be looked over or done around the camp. That was the whole reason Felix and Luna were here." Seeing as he didnt listen to him before.

"Also stop acting like the world will fall apart if you rest." He shook his head a little at the thought. "People die, its going to happen you can keep doing this or your going to be one of them." It was a bit harsh but it needed to be said. But that was all he needed to say as Mizuki didn't move and still seemed to be glued to the spot he was in.

"Now come on, yeah I'm sure your in pain but sitting here isn't going to help it." He stated before getting Mizuki to stand finally before carrying him back to the room. Seeing as he didn't seem able to walk anyway. Once the other was laying down again he glared at him a little. "Don't give me that look, I might not be a healer but I can still tell when someone is sick or in need of rest." Besides it wasn't like he was useless, he could take care of Mizuki for once.. any mixes or teas he needed couldn't be that complicated with some direction.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki protested a little but he knew Thalion was right. He needed rest and the fact that Thalion had everything taken care of for awhile he gave in and let the male put him back to bed. Though he sighed as he laid there looking to Thalion "If im forced to rest I dont want to do it alone" He said with a frown.

He wasnt looking for Thalion to join him just meerly keep him company "You...could help me" He said before his ears dipped back "If...you want to that is" He said lightly. Mizuki still needed his tea and the thought of some oil rubbed into some sore muscles gave him shivers. But that part he wouldnt ask for "Could..you finish the tea?" He asked lightly

[Rosekitten]

That wasn't fair to say something like that, not that Thal had any plan of leaving him to fend for himself. "Never said I was leaving did I? Besides your stubborn enough to get out of bed if left to your own." Mizuki could be on his death bed and he'd still do the same thing.

"that was the plan, unless you'd rather me leave Luna with you." He was joking of course but the look Mizuki gave him was priceless. "I was joking.." He wouldn't doom him to that fate while ill. "I'm staying, least till your better, not like I'm in charge of anything here." He was rather glad of that to be honest. It gave him a good amount of free time, though in turn this had stuck him more often then not with watching Neena.

"Already had that planned.. but no getting up or I'll make that bluff from yesterday a reality." He meant the binding one, but he doubted Mizuki had the energy to get up let alone walk anywhere else. With that he left the other to himself so he could go finish that tea. Luckily he paid attention each morning the other made tea so he had a idea of what he was doing, plus it wasn't that complicated anyway.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki laid there and closed his eyes for a little as he listened to Thalion move about the place.n It was not until the foot steps grew near that he opened his eyes. Hissing lightly he sat up and leaned up against the head of the bed and his pillows as he took the tea "Thank you..." He said softly as he took the tea and brought it to his lips. Lightly blowing he took a sip.

Sighing he rested the cup in his lap as his head fell backwards. He never knew how sore and tired he could feel just after one night of sleeping. That was half the reason why he didnt want to sleep. He knew that with the herbs he was using if he was to sleep it would react but after what had happened sleep came so easy.

Opening his eyes he looked to Thalion with a soft smile. He could tell he looked like shit just from the way Thalion looked at him. "I think...after all of this a nice hot bath would be perfect" He said with a nod of his head. The hot water on sore muscles would feel great and Mizuki groaned at the thought of it.

[Rosekitten]

Probably a good thing Thal had said a few days at best. Longer would be better but if he could talk or rather get Mizuki to rest each day they wouldn't have to deal with this again. Or least not as bad a case of it. He understood the other wanted to do everything that could be done to spare lives, but there came a point when he had to give in to his own needs. Rest was one such need and now his body was trying to make up for lost time. Of course he was going to look and feel horrible.

Once he returned to Mizuki and the other thanked him he shook his head a little. "Maybe this'll teach you a lesson. I always did say you relied on those herbs too much." Even when they were younger he would go on and on about how they could do this and that. Sure and some things nature had to take its course on. Though something told him once Mizuki was recovered he'd return to doing the same thing, well unless he could convince him otherwise.

When the other mentioned of a bath Thal laughed a little finding it funny, he saw that coming a mile away. "Already started, thats what took me a bit longer." Pretty much it was waiting on Mizuki to finish the tea. Though that didn't take too long as Thal decided to pick on the other a little. "So did you want to be carried again or you good to walk now?" Seemed common now for Mizuki to end up being carried in the last few days.
