[WELL, OF COURSE HE'S GOING TO TELL YOU, IT'S FIGHTY-FIGHTY --
-- and yeah, he pretty much talks your ear off, with all of the usual Nico spaz and fanboy.]
...And then I was pretty sure I missed and MAN it sucks going around with a couple of broken ribs but I look up and he's smiling at me and thereisacutonhischeekholyshitInailedhim.
[Getting your ear talked off by your boyfriend is something Kaz misses, he winces when he hears that Nico's ribs had gotten broken by Hikaru, but then again injuries were something to be expected.]
Sounds like he gave you a run for your money, Koishī.
[He only ever uses that when he can't really express how much he loves Nico at a certain moment. He's also exceedingly proud right now, and he says so.]
M'proud of you. I hope you know that. The cheek though? Such an overachiever.
[He teases, sure, but he doesn't really see Nico aiming for anything other than the top.]
Landing a hit on Hikaru Shinta is a feat, okay? I don't think I could score a hit on him, let alone nick him on the cheek.
[He's not telling Nico that someday, he's gunning for Zangyaku as well. Not yet. It's too soon to say and he has no idea where his path will take him just yet.]
[He closes his eyes for a second, maybe thinking about running to Japan right freaking now just to be with him for a few hours. He doesn't want to hang up, and he knows if he doesn't, he'll never be able to. Maybe tears well up in his eyes because he's just a little frustrated at himself, because he doesn't want Nico on Xi Wang's shit list. The last thing he wants is to jeopardize Nico's chances in Zangyaku by being stupidly clingy.]
Yeah, um... I gotta... I should probably get some sleep too. Never know when I might get called out on an Engagement.
[He's fighting to keep his voice from breaking now, because this is what they both want: to be Hunters, and really fucking good ones too. Him in the Brotherhood and Nico in Zangyaku. They'd talked about this time and again over the years, but back then, it had been Netsach for Kaz.]
I love you, Nicholas Raio. Don't you ever forget it.
[...and I miss you. Don't get hurt too badly. And he ends the call before it gets to be too much. He drops the phone on his bed and maybe he sobs just a little bit, before getting up and digging an open pack of Nico's cigarettes out (which he may or may not have stolen from the other boy's pockets during their time in Japan)and lighting up. The smell of cloves hangs in the room. This once, he doesn't open a window like he normally would, wanting to just drift in it.]

Tell me about it? I mean, if it's okay for you to tell me.
[Cue sappy smile, because he would've maybe kissed Nico by now, and asked him for stories. He's always loved the way his boyfriend talks.]

[...Yeah so he's not going to tell you about how it was kind of a lucky break.
A face shot was totally in the plan.
Totally.]

[No arrogance there. He respects his brothers and sisters like nobody's business.]
...your face ruins my life, Shu.
hee
[And everything, honest to god, makes so much more sense. He just wishes that he and Kaz could see each other more often.]
...Anyway, I think I need to get back to the party.
[Because if he doesn't, he won't ever want to hang up, and that's not good.]
u^u these two give me feels
