"So," He Set A Hand On Mitsuki's Shoulder, His Other Gesturing To The Comfortable Space Before Them,

"So," he set a hand on Mitsuki's shoulder, his other gesturing to the comfortable space before them, "this is where you'll be living now." No empty apartments for this boy. Not while he was still alive in this village. "I can leave you to settle in by yourself, if you like."  unprompted   //   always acc.     —— @daybreakrising​.

mikazuki  has  jumped  from  his  arms  &  onto  the  floor,  off  to  explore  this  new  fun  home.  mitsuki  seems  antsy,  though.  it’s…  full.  of  things.  he’s  not  used  to  so  many  things.  the  air  is  alive,  so  much  clearer  than  the  stagnant,  heavy  air  of  his  own  apartment.  a  deep  breath  in,  a  deeper  breath  out.  his  nerves  don’t  usually  get  to  him,  but  this  is  too  new.  the  comforting  palm  on  his  shoulder,  the  patient  voice,  his  brows  furrow.  it’s  hard  to  process.  the  serpent  sees  this  kind  of  stuff  all  the  time,  but  with  his  old  classmates’  families,  not  with  people  who  have  no  obligation  to  do  so.  mitsuki  tilts  his  head  up,  striking  gold  staring  into  jet  black  with  a  nigh  unreadable  expression.

❛  yamato-san,  why  are  you  doing  all  of  this?  you  know  i  am  not  human  already,  you  do  not  have  to  treat  me  like  one.  ❜

how does mitsuki feel about anko being protective?

relatively neutral, unless she's to get in his way of anything. it feels good to be cared for, but he isn't fond of his more self destructive tendencies to be interfered with. if he is going to take every single hit for those he loves, he is going to. you cannot stop him.

in the silence there is clarity,    an unlit lightbulb metaphorically sitting several inches above wavy,    ebony crown that characteristically brightens with found understanding after but a few seconds.    [    …    ]    countenance reaches a new extent of incredulous,  becoming even more indifferent,    abundant in peppers of unamusement.    imposing crudely,    sparing him atleast a roll of violet eyne,    “    is now the right time for your unnecessary jokes?    ”

tough crowd.

What are your views on promises? (For Kawaki)

" promises..? " the boy parrots, brows knitting together. he glances to his prosthetic arm, moving the hand around to reassure that it's his. promises, huh.

" promises aren't silly shit. if you promise something, you follow through. "

his new father's words ring in his head. you're safe now, i promise [ ... ] i promise i'll protect you. –— && despite everything that's hurt kawaki, he believes it. all of it.

" i'm too much of a coward to make promises, though. "

Okay but please talk to me about Mitsuki and Konohamaru. What were Mitsuki's first impressions of him? Has it changed over time? How?

mitsuki had no opinions on konohamaru in the beginning. he was worried, though, what would happen if konohamaru learned of who his parent is.

after a while, they grew closer, as any team would. but konohamaru became somewhat of a safe space. he never worries about saying the wrong thing to him, & konohamaru always supported him.

then when mitsuki left to infiltrate the hidden stone, things were... different. labeled a criminal, he was sure all of his secrets would get out & slip past naruto's lips as soon as he was confronted. he wondered if he would be able to return to konoha at all, let alone as a shinobi.

then at the very end of it, konohamaru HUGGED him. a gentle, yet firm, hug. mitsuki wasn't scolded, nor punished. konohamaru, despite everything, was so happy to have him back. it was... unnerving, a bit.

konohamaru is his family. a safe person. & mitsuki loves him as much as his own brother.
