isleofavalon | [closed] the summer's out of reach

[ Bakugou makes an irritated noise in the back of his throat. Of all the dumb shit... ]

Still isn't the stupidest thing I've agreed to do.

[ Stepping off of the ladder. Brushing by Deku and heading down the stairs! ...That means yes. He'll help. ]

[A small sheepish laugh.]

I don't know, I wonder what the storm spirits look like. It might be better than you think right now, Kacchan.

[Something new to learn? Seeing a cool fantasy spirit? He'll clutch the box of materials and glance at one of the windows.]

Let's use that window.

You don't know what I think.

[ Just saying... Either way, Katsuki's already agreed hasn't he? The blonde's making his way towards the window Deku's pointed out. ]

Come on. I don't have all night.

You don't think seeing some spirits is going to be interesting to see?

[A tiny little spark of curious interest, there!

Izuku is quick to make it over and then opens the box to check the contents of the box. Cloth, strings, fluff to stick inside the dolls, markers of some sort.]

I don't know! Shit. Until we were first kidnapped I never thought any of this shit is real!

[ Katsuki is just going to plop down into a chair. Kind of bad posture and everything. So Izuku's going to, like, make the first one, right? ]

[He'll make the first one... Wish a little bit of a sheepish laugh as he glances at Katsuki's posture. He never changes. But Izuku will hand him some materials.]

I think it's great, knowing all of this is real here? I want to get a chance to see what I can!

[Of course, he does. He rolls up the roll carefully... it's a little lopsided and weird.]

[ He'll reach across the table to snatch up some of the items needed to make one of these things. Katsuki supposes that just being present would be enough for Izuku. The nerd could ramble and do all the work and as long as Bakugou nods his head a bit and just chooses to spend the time with him.

Though he'll just. Put one of these things together to show off. ]

Augh. Can you be any bigger of a nerd?

[ Though... Some of this shit has been pretty cool. ]

[As much as he appreciates that Katsuki is picking to spend time with him, no, he doesn't want to do all the work alone. He's going to make sure Katsuki helps too. This is a group effort. They should work together!]

S-sorry.

[Even if his shoulders are going up with a little bit of embarrassment.]

Isn't there anything you like or are curious about in this world, Kacchan?

[ Look, this isn't exactly a complicated affair. Stuff this tissue or paper into the center of the cloth. ]

Hah? Why're you asking me something like that? Isn't it enough to just want to fix the problem and get back where we're needed?

[ And yet Izuku will ask him this question again when he's half asleep in front of a bonfire. ]

[Teamwork is still teamwork-]

I don't mean that- I know we're going to do that.

[He starts to string together his doll a little better. Soon they'll have two of them ready for the marriage spell. Thing.]

I mean don't you find any of this... cool?

[He looks down at his doll. Summoning spirits? Yes, he's a nerd. He just wants to know if Katsuki thinks the same things. They used to like stupid things like this as kids.]

[ Marriage spell thing. What weird quests or tasks that they end up taking on. Of all of the things... Bakugou hates the mundane. Dislikes doing things that aren't going to get him recognized. But then who knows. By doing this aren't they making friendly with Fae? Won't they start to mend those fences - EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IN NO WAY AT FAULT FOR THAT. ]

If you want to call the entire multiverse being frozen to give us more time to beat back a calamity cool? Ah huh. Sure.

[ Come on Izuku. You know that Bakugou is serious all the time. Even in training sessions everything is taken as if it is the real thing! ]

... I mean- It kind of is.

[Izuku sweatdrops. He would be the one to think this interstellar adventure of fantasy and multiverses would be cool. And Katsuki would take it very seriously.]

Who would have thought that there were universes like this outside ours? And getting a chance to save them, too...?

[He finishes his doll and then reaches out for the one Katsuki made.]

[ Katsuki's doll, for as much as he had been against the idea and rolling his eyes at it, is done to the best of his ability. Which means it's going to come out looking pretty good or else he won't pass it onto Deku. ]

Oh? So a hero to Japan ain't enough. Gotta save the whole multiverse, huh?

[ Katsuki says that, but he's looking pretty smug about it too. ]

Shitty nerd.

[That gets Izuku to let out a sheepish laugh as he takes the two dolls and holds them up with a sparkle of pride. They look pretty good-! It should do the trick for the spell!]

Becoming the number one hero in the galaxy and beyond sounds... great to me!

[And perfectly nerdy. He loves it, okay!]

But, yeah. One thing at a time.

[ He watches Deku put them up. Katsuki isn't going to help there. Seems like the nerd has everything in hand. ]

Gah... Do you really have to make such an annoying expression!?

[ That dumb grin... That stupid happy dumb grin that stretches Izuku's face and pulls at his freckles. It reaches his eyes and - stop analyzing that shit Bakugou Katsuki. Honestly, Katsuki hates how it makes him feel all jittery. So he's slapping a palm onto Deku's face. There's no explosion, of course. Bakugou doesn't even growl or yell. He just keeps his hand there with an irritated look on his face. Not that it is going to really discourage Deku in the end. ]

Tch! Like you ever focus on one goddamn thing at a time.

Edited 2021-06-22 17:05 (UTC)

Aha- Sorry- Ack!!

[That palm slams right on his whole face and Izuku sputters. His hand going to grasp at Katsuki's wrist. He lets out a noise but for some reason, there's this light feeling in his chest. Like he's trying not to laugh in return.]

I'm not making an annoying expression...! Let go, I think we're ready to start the summoning...!

That face of yours looks like it's gonna split in half!

[ Because of the smiling. Now even to Katsuki's ears it sounds like Deku's gonna start laughing.

Yet he lowers his hand regardless. Shoves it back into his pocket and huffs. ]

What do we need to do?

[He doesn't know why he's so amused. Mostly because he doesn't detect any malice in Katsuki's actions. He's just being Katsuki and maybe even a little embarrassed because Izuku did something? For some reason, he feels happy about it.

He rubs his nose when it's over and then holds up both dolls to tie them to the window frame above.]

I think once the dolls catch some of the wind it should start the summoning...

[So he opens the pane open slightly. The rain is still pattering outside lightly.]

[ Honestly Izuku is right. There's no malice here. Only embarrassment because he hates these mushy feelings. Because he doesn't really know what to do with them. Or how to express them properly. If he even SHOULD express them properly! ]

So let me get this straight.

[ Katsuki leans back. Puts his feet up on the table. What a rude boy. ]

We're supposed to open the windows and let the wind blow in. Effectively soaking us so a spirit can marry in a doll.

[Even if he doesn't express himself properly there is this sort of softness there. Just for a split second. Making a joke about being an intergalactic hero and Katsuki reacting as he did. Izuku couldn't help smiling-

But now he flusters back into place. With the dolls in place and the wind and rain pattering outside...]

... It is a little weird. [He's trying to figure this out too!] But I think we'd need to get the spirit here somehow so-

[But then suddenly there's some curious little lights of green starting to appear nearby!]

Eh?!

[ Katsuki is over at the table, making faces as Izuku talks. Blah blah blah faces. The nerd sure can go on and on about things that don't really matter, huh?

He's about to make a comment on that when even he sees little green lights. Immediately, his feet are removed from the table and placed on the ground proper. Katsuki sits a little straighter, as if to get a better look at what could be out their window.

His own inner nerd is betraying him right now. ]

[Don't make fun of him---!!

But he can't fight Katsuki on it as his attention focuses on the little green dots that are coming out. Izuku inhales and watches with awe in his expression. just as interested as Katsuki's pretending not to be.]

It's the spirits-!

[Little green-like spots that upon closer look are wispy green dragonfly-like creatures with golden eyes. They sparkle with water and dew and the fresh scent of mountain air wafts up around them. They seem to dance and bounce on the air and start to twirl around the little hanging dolls like they're slow dancing with them.]

[ Katsuki isn't sure what to expect. Has no idea what these spirits will look like. So leaning forward to try to get a better look? He's not sure he's seeing this right. These spirits are just glowing bugs of all things. The blonde isn't sure if these are the ones that they are supposed to be looking for... However as soon as they start to move around the dolls? Well seems like he's wrong there. ]

Bugs. We're marrying off spirit bugs.

[ Way to make something neat sound ridiculous, Bakugou. ]

[Izuku almost lets out another amused puff of laughter.]

They do kind of look like that, ne...

[But they're spirits. They're glowing with magic and Izuku dares to scoot up closer for a better look. They start to glow a warmer green and the dolls start to dance with the magic. They suddenly come up close like they're about to kiss.]

We- We should help them say some vows, I think? That's what happens at most weddings...?

[ Maybe Deku should warn Katsuki? To be a little more respectful of Fae since they are trying to win them over still? Ah, maybe it doesn't really matter. With the way the spirits are buzzing and moving around the dolls, they're almost oblivious to Izuku and Bakugou. ]

Hah!? Why would we need to do that?

[ Why should they come up with vows for spirits? ]

The hell... That shit is personal, nerd. You can't just... Create them for them.
