Natsuki looks down at the boy in his arms, his chest hurting from seeing him look so upset "Please... Is there anything I can do..." his eyes start to get a bit watery "No one deserves to be this upset. No one." he uses his thumb to wipe away a few tears from Daebru's face "At least talk to me... Even if it's just something silly to get your mind off of this" he tries to smile but his eyes are flooded with concern.

Daebru turns his head looking up at Natsuki, "You already did do something... You and Tamashi, showed me its okay to... to love differently," Daebru curls into the man, and his eyes catch that Tamashi isn't there anymore, as he lets the tears start to flow "Where'd ... he go?"

Natsuki wipes Daebrru's tears with the sleeve of his kimono "It's okay to love who you love, and don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise." he smiles softly "Everyone deserves happiness, and if you find someone you truly love don't let anyone tell you that it's wrong." he glances in the direction Tamashi went "I asked him to give us a few moments to talk. I know I find it easiest to open up to someone when it is just them and myself, no extra people." He sits on a crate, cradling the boy close to him like he was the most precious item on the planet, he's so kind, and strong. I could never be like that ... could I ... always small ... not worthy of love like theirs... "If you need to talk. I hope you will always remember that it's okay to tell people things sometimes. It may be difficult, but honesty and being open with one another is very important in any kind of relationship." he lifts up Daebru's chin, looking into his eyes with a slight smile "If you want to talk to me, I am more than happy to listen. Everyone needs someone to talk to sometime"

Daebru gives a weak smile to him, "Thank you, Natski" and his hand pats the man's chest a couple times, "You have a good heart, maybe... someday I'll tell you about it, but I ... can't ... not right now" it's too raw ... too painful.. I cared for him ... but he let that happen ... he takes a deep breath closing his eyes a moment, "Perhaps you'll tell me your story then too," he tries to look around Natsuki to see if he can see Tamashi, "What I gave you, it's been with me for as long as I can remember, I want you to have it as thanks for this evening. I will remember these moments forever," he reaches up and caresses Natsuki's cheek while a hand tries to beckon Tamashi back over.

Natsuki gives a smile to Daebru "It is alright if you don't wish to talk about it now. When you do tell me your story, I promise I will tell mine as well. Who knows, maybe we will even have some things in common, maybe some of them good too." he presses their foreheads together. He then pulls the item out of his mouth to see a blood crystal tongue ring with in the shape of a skull on top with two small loops having additional gems on them "It's... beautiful... There is no way I could accept something so extravagant" he is quite obviously touched by this gesture "I promise though, that I will always remember this evening as well. You are an extraordinary person, who doesn't seem to give themselves enough credit for how amazing they are." I'm a killer Natsuki, but I can't tell you that... he smiles warmly "You are so beautiful and so sweet. I know that one day you will find someone who will make you happy. Someone you can love who will love you just as much, if not more, in return. You deserve nothing less than that" he pulls him into a hug as Tamashi returns.

Tamashi comes walking up "Is everything alright?" he quickly looks to Daebru "Most importantly. Are you alright?" he leans close "I am sorry that I couldn't catch you when you fell. I am so grateful that you are safe" he smiles softly "I truly hope the three of us can meet again in the future. You have so much to offer this world, and I want to see what you can do with it" He gives Daebru a hug "I know that we will never forget meeting you, you are so special and anyone would be a fool to forget about you" he caresses his cheek "You don't forget us either though okay?" he smiles cheerily

Daebru reaches out and caresses Tamashi's cheek as well, "I'll be alright, someday," I hope.. but probably not... he smiles at them both, "I will never forget either of you, for as long as I live this evening will be with me, forever. Even if I never see you again," then he smiles, "If you ever hear of The Lady Haaru, know that you met her first and that her true self you were allowed to see, that you were allowed to see Daebru Carmesi, of the shadowfell," he stretches up and kisses Natsuki again before turning to Tamashi and kissing him, on the lips this time, "I really should be going, I ... have a meeting to keep," he smiles, "I hope we meet again, perhaps when I have more time. Who knows, maybe I'll be a pro at The Game next time we meet," he winks at the two of them and waits for Natsuki to set him down.

"I am sure we will meet again" Tamashi smiles as Haaru kisses him "It was our pleasure to meet you, Daebru. A Huncbus like myself has no last name, but I hope you will remember the one I have given, as I will remember both that you have given as well" he kisses Daebru's hand as he steps back to allow room to Natsuki to put him down.

Getting kissed again Natsuki blushes once more "Daebru... That is a lovely name. I hope that next we meet you will allow me to use it to address you. Even if just when we are alone" he smiles at Daebru "It is only fair that I give you my name as well, Natsuki Masamune. It is alright if you don't remember my name, but I do wish that you will remember me." he kisses Daebru's cheek "I believe that next time you will end up winning the game if you continue as you had. Maybe next time we can play out more of the game" he winks, being a dink like he is "Now... we don't want you to miss your meeting." he sets Daebru down "Would it be alright to get a hug before you run off though?"

Daebru smiles, "I think I would like that" he smiles as he is set down on the ground, he turns taking a few steps away, nearly leaving the alleyway, he turns and quickly runs back to them throwing his arms around the both of them, as much as he can "Of course you can have a hug before I go," he smiles up at them with a shit eating grin, "I would really love it if you saved the name Daebru for in private, I don't know why I feel I can trust you with it, because it's a dangerous name to know," he looks back and forth between the two of them, "I have a feeling you can handle yourselves if anything comes up. Until next time, lovelies" he gives a slight bow to them and steps backwards disappearing into the shadows. I don't want to leave them, the shadows are my home, but I feel anchored here... what's wrong with me? why can't I pull myself away?

Natsuki puts his arm around Tamashi as they watch him disappear into the shadows "hmm... I thought only you could do that..." Tamashi states seeming impressed.

Smiling "Lots of people can if they know the right magic, but he seems different. He really is quite amazing isn't he?" Natsuki asks.

"Yes, he is." Tamashi turns to Natsuki "What's that in your hand?"

"Oh, this? It was a gift from Da... from Haaru..." Natsuki smiles as he catches himself with the name "Would you mind if we found somewhere to get this done?" he smiles as he kisses Tamashi's cheek.

"Of course I don't mind." he kisses Natsuki on the lips "That is truly a beautiful gift. It would be a waste to not wear it."

So, they wander off to find a place to get the piercing done. Still showing their affection throughout their excursion in the town and the shops. Daebru watching their last interaction from the shadows, would they be mine if I asked? He shakes his head at that thought before darting off after his target.
