1Mumei has been staring at her fellow Kabneri for the past 31 minutes and roughly 17 seconds. Ever since the battle with Biba, she couldn't help but feel… hot, when ever Ikoma was close to her.
And she knew she wasn't the only one.
Mumei has caught both Ayame and Kurusu staring at Ikoma with flushed faces, and the blonde hadn't even noticed just how much attention he gets. How can he be that oblivious? Mumei has no idea. But what she does know is that Ikoma is beautiful. She has heard people remark on how cute she is, but Ikoma? He is on a whole different level.
It isn't fair how he makes her feel.
Ayame has been watching her guards' face flush whenever Ikoma interacted with him, which she hadn't understood why until this moment. So now she has been staring at the beautiful boy for the past 3 minutes and 47 seconds.
But, could you really blame her? She had asked Ikoma to act as her guard while she spoke with Uryuu on the top of the Koutetsujou, but both of them quickly became more interested in watching the crimson-eyed boy then continuing their conversation. It was an understandable reaction, if you asked Ayame, he was sitting with his knees pulled up to his chest, a gentle breeze playing with his hair, and sunlight outlining his frame. It made him look like an angel. She managed to tear her eyes away from the angel, intent on continuing her conversation with Uryuu.
Only to follow his gaze back to Ikoma.
Yeah, she understood how Kurusu felt.
The blonde haired Kabaneri got on his nerves. Not only did Ikoma have the gall to get Kurusu to care if he lived or died, Ikoma also decided to make him feel so utterly- helpless. When did this begin? Kurusu's best guess would be when he saw Mumei, the strongest in the fortress (Even though he thinks Ikoma could easily take her), on her knees begging Ikoma to wake up. So he fell. He fell hard.
Over the course of a week, Kurusu began talking with Ikoma, and they managed to become what one may call, "attached" to each other. Even though Kurusu would deny that statement.
But something that really irked him, was how the others look at Ikoma. There is a certain hunger in their eyes, and he doesn't like worst offenders were the hunters. He could see them undressing the younger with their eyes. He made a silent promise to ikoma to protect them from those Neandrathals.
He has fully accepted the fact that Ikoma can make him do anything. All that is needed are large, pleading eyes, and a hurt voice saying, "Please Kurusu?"
God, he is fucked.
When Biba first laid eyes on the male Kabaneri, he knew he had to have him. Ikoma could be described in three words, as Biba came to realize; gallous, affable, and insanely attractive. How could Biba not want him?
So when he saw the boy glowing with power, the part of him that said, 'claim him, make him yours,' only got louder.
He was disappointed when Ikoma wouldn't get up and fight him.
Biba was so confused, Ikoma was supposed to be strong and stubborn, right? So why is he just laying on the ground, allowing himself to be shot? Biba didn't have time to question anything else, the butterflies were calling him.
Ikoma had yet to leave the realm of consciousness in 57 hours, so it didn't exactly surprise him when he fell asleep on Kurusu's shoulder during a meeting.
But what did surprise him, was waking up to fighting. He lifted his head off of someone's chest (why am I being cradled?) Alerting them of his consciousness. He heard a stray yell of. "I want to hold him!' And hands reaching towards him, before the person holding him took off running. The shouts were a bit quieter, but were still audible. Ikoma guessed they were being chased.
Ikoma looked up at the person holding him. "Kurusu?" He asked, hiding his face in the taller's neck.
"Yes. Ikoma?"
"Why are you carrying me?"
"You fell asleep."
" 'Kay, but why are you running?" Ikoma's voice started to slur, he was still so tired. A chuckle came from the bushi when Ikoma pressed closer to him.
"Someone seems sleepy-"
"Be quiet Kuru, just answer the question."
"The others got to close to you."
"Oh"
