[UAU: the first day under]

[masokaiser]

[Kaiser wakes up far later than usual. He prefers to rise early, normally -- sleep is for the weak and the dead -- but the events of last night were so draining that he slept straight through his alarm.

He doesn't remember them, when he's first waking up. They don't hit him until he glances around his room, still drowsy and blinking sleep out of his eyes, and sees the briefcase -- still missing one cuff -- lying open on the floor.

He sits up and takes inventory.

- Juudai is in the underground as of last night.
- He's a face.
- He passes out at 800 AP.
- Kaiser is responsible for training this out of him.
- He's staying in Kaiser's apartment.

...wait. Right. This means he has...some kind of host duties, doesn't it...?

He slides out of bed, and rubs his eyes as he walks out of the room in last night's clothing to see just what state Juudai's in.]

[ In the space of about thirty-six hours, Juudai has learned more about Kaiser then he ever thought he'd know. Learned what he looks like when he is afraid, what you become capable of when you fall into hell.

And now, perhaps -

Perhaps they have become equals, the both of them. Maybe there's something to be said for not standing, down here. Everyone's the same height when they're crawling to survive. And so -

So Juudai surprises himself by kissing back with more passion than before, when he'd been surprised. More passion, more heart, more heat. Not overpowering, but he lets himself take the initiative, respond eagerly to Kaiser's halting advances.

The two of them, they can live in hell, for a while. ]
