(( I might be retiring Touya or this blog soon. Probably the latter more than retiring Touya altogether. Because Touya had always been a special muse to me. He’s sort of like my good side that whenever I came back to him or write as him, he makes me happy and feel at peace. But I rarely have time to come on this blog so I might just remake him all over.

I want to restart Touya, remaking and rewriting his past a little but still keeping the essences that made him Touya that I know. I want to give him the recognition and effort he deserves, because he’s so special to me. So with that said, it’s highly likely I’ll redo him again. Remaking him and all his bio. There would be a few relationships and memories that would be carried on after (on the top of my head, being Adam, Fey and Yun, the ones who he had formed quite a strong bond with), other than that, he will be reset. His memories wiped and started all over. It’s new year, I want a new fresh start for him.

I’ll keep you guys up-to-date on this. Other than revising him and restarting him anew, I’ll be moving him to another blog, so for anyone who’s still interested to interact with me and/or Touya, please leave a message in my inbox and I’ll give you the URL I’ll be moving him to.

Thank you for being with me and Touya all this time. Hope you’d understand my decision. Wish you all had a wonderful holiday. ))

Adam:

        ❝ do you drink? ❞

     asked with a smile, familiar gleam in his eye — his voice feels soft, almost a little skittish.

        ❝ — wouldn’t wanna do it alone. i do that a lot. ❞

          Huh... Of all question to come from the albino, the dragon didn't expect that, but he didn't mind either. Leaning to have his lips ghosted over another's temple, his eyes not escaping the younger male.

          "Sometimes. Usually only when needed, or with a good company." The noirette actually had a very high alcohol tolerance, just to make sure no one could get him drunk to make him spill anything. Fingers toyed with another's hair.

          "I don't mind drinking with you." A smile laced his lips. "What's your favorite?"

Fey:

        And the smile’s reciprocated with one of her own, tinged with traces of relief that Touya remained — safe. The ambiguity laced in his words in their last encounter had been left unanswered. Although it’d been none of her business to pry, as a friend she was — allowed to worry, right? The nauseating buzz is eliminated when lips emit a chuckle, digits finding it difficult to refrain from offering his crown a light ruffle.

        “—Then it’s mutual. Promise. ‘Cause hey, I’m always waiting — I promised you. And I’d never break that.” A hum follows shortly afterwards as the suggestion replays in her mind. “…well then, I think everyone else missed one hell of an opportunity — I’m totally in. It’d be my honor to accompany you. We’ve got a ton of catching up to do.” A pause. “…you — have been alright, right? You can talk to me about anything, y’know.”

He knew she would worry. That was her nature, after all. She was kind and considerate, and he must admit her words had helped him countless of times with or without her knowing that. She was someone he considered a friend, someone he really do trust but that was why he didn't want her to worry too much over him. His life was bound to live in danger and jeopardy. The last thing he wanted was to drag someone who was kind enough to show him friendship and care into danger.

"You're a lifesaver, Fey. Thanks." He didn't just mean her agreeing to accompany him for the night, but the gratitude went deeper in a silent way he didn't elaborate. A chuckle rumbled off his throat where he glanced his silver optics took a scan around them both, staring down some of the intrusive gaze towards the female in protective hint. "We can talk over dinner, if you're up for those. A little too many people here, hope you don't mind?" Protective dragon is protective.

Suzaku:

     much time had certainly       passed since their last encounter, yet his is a face yun will not forget.      gust lightly teasing his vermilion scarf, brows raise at what he’d first      taken as a beckon. had he been eating? exercising, keeping warm—?

               "seiryu…!"  the subtlest smile—it’s not an unpleasant surprise                by any means. “merry christmas. you have been well?”

Once again that the raven dragon was actually struck by surprise. But this time with a presence that had surge of deeper nostalgia being riled up from within him. The aura of fire sensed from within his nostril and the other's friendliness unlike those who came hunting him for death had him recognized the other as a friend. A comrade. His lips pulled into the softest smile as well.

"You could say that. Seasons greetings to you, Suzaku. It had been a while." A person he referred to as a friend, almost. A help offered when he was about to lose control was a debt that he had yet to repay.

                        "What about yourself? Fairing well on your end?"

MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU, THIS WAS SUPER CUTE AND JUST NNNN, MERRY CHRISTMAS, OK, i miss you and love you tons and i hope you’ve been well !!

(( MERRY CHRISTMAS- SOBBING IT HAD BEEN FOREVER SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE- I MISSED YOU AND TOUYA AND ADAM A LOT- ;u; I love you toooo. Hope you've been doing well too, lovely! I've been really busy myself. A little stressful these past months but hope you've been having wonderful holidays! CRIES AND HOLDS YOU TIGHT ))

Fey:

        Not a care was offered to any curious bystander who observed the scene as heeled boots made their way towards the dark-haired male, pearly whites offering a flash in humble, warm greeting. “I’m glad…—aha, maybe I did. Juuuuuust a little. Still as sweet as you were, hm? Then maybe I did a miss you a lot. Just maybe.” A smile. “…You look good, too. Good as ever.”

        Hands buried themselves in coat pockets as a cant of her head was made. “Just wandering around — figured I’d treat myself to a few treats. Expensive desserts, nice wines, aha. How about you—your schedule filled up? Eheh.”

Eyes were on them, even the black dragon knew since he could sense gazes upon both of them. Not that he paid too much attention as his lips quirked into that blissful smile. A friendly one, not the usual he offered those around him but a rare, genuine one that only some people were fortunate enough to have it directed at them. "Just maybe? I missed you a lot though, Fey. Glad to see you."

"Treats, huh? My schedule is free as a bird. I rarely think anyone remembered or waited for me. It had been too long." He admitted, though it was nature of his life. Traveling around, making sure no one remembered him and how he barely aged. "What about me treating you to those then? If you agree to accompany me for the night. Win-win?" He could use a friend. That, and he felt like spending more time with the female. She had always been there to welcome him whenever he returned.

[oriastraum]

❝ ---- merry christmas, /kuro/. ❞ it seems fitting, to give him a nickname that would play along with his own, and it's a meek smile that displays itself on his lips; he doesn't hold a gift, and in all honesty, adam feels ashamed that he could stand before the other empty handed, but perhaps material things were never of too much importance. fingers reach out to seek the one's before him, capturing a few within his grasp to at least do /something/, if not anything at all.

He... really didn't expect that.

He really didn't.

The smaller voice that came with the appearance of the albino. Those white strands framing perfect face that he knew so well. Too well. The same face that he saw so many nights in his dreams. The scent that brought that pleasant nostalgia eating at his heart and the dragon found himself speechless. He was at lost for words for that single moment, thoughts running through his mind but nothing could come out from his lips. He had so many thing, so many things to tell him.

Yet, nothing came out.

Extended digits that came to his own were willingly caught in his stronger ones, clasping gently but firmly, not afraid but still tender in its care and touch where without a word, he pulled the younger male into his hold, burying his face into the smaller shoulder despite him being the shorter one. Like he cared.

                                                    I miss you...

                            I didn't think you'd be here...

             I didn't think you'd wait for me...

                                                         Why would you wait for someone like me?

                                      I'm nothing...

       I'll just leave again...

                                                                      I'll hurt you again...

Words, more and more words and questions poured in his mind but all that could be heard was the sound of him tightening his embrace around the white haired male, squeezing him tightly. Desperately. He yearned for him, he longed and missed him days and nights. But he couldn't say that. He wasn't allowed to.

But this is the best Christmas present he could ever asked for.

              Adam...

                                                           --I love you.

Fey:

Only one glass of alcohol circulated in her bloodstream — what grey optics witnessed was certainly not a hallucination. Lids had, however, descended twice quickly only to confirm that the individual before her was who he was.

"—Touya…? You’re back. Aha, and — Merry Christmas to you, too.”

Ah... familiar face. The dragon really didn't expect to see anyone he knew despite returning, but his heart literally warmed the moment he laid eyes upon the redhead. Approaching her, ignoring a few glances and heads he turned on the way there and his lips pulled into that peaceful, gentle smile reserved only for those few trusted ones.

"--I'm back. Miss me too much, Fey?" A jest, one that was frequent when it comes to the other female. He always had that soft spot for her. "You seem well. Beautiful as ever. No dates tonight?"

[oriastraum]

"Merry Christmas." A joyful occasion, and the dragon is once again back to the town he was familiar with. Despite not thinking anyone remember him, it was a good nostalgia to be back.

[oriastraum]

[oriastraum]

I want to come back to Touya permanently, to be able to play him since at least I feel peaceful writing as him. I hope I could do that soon. Because I'm just so.. so tired. Tired of everything.

But most of all, I'm tired of being lied to. I'm tired of people assuming I don't know they're lying when I do and it's just exhausting pretending not to notice or raise a point.

I'm just so tired. ))

Customer:

« ☆ » ~~~~~~ 

                         The early morning weather was rather nippy. Fitting the biting wind with his jacket and hood. Hands shoved into pockets. There was only one place he was headed so early though, the local bakery he heard was so good. Since he was used to a schedule of being up so early, it slipped Yuki’s mind that the place might not even be open nfor business. Stepping into the warmth of the shop, the scents of warm baked goods filling his scent. It was heaven. Only when he was spoken to did he realize the place wasn’t open for business yet and he couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly, slipping hood off and rubbing his hair. “Oh, that’s no problem. It’s better in here than out there anyway.” But that would be obvious. “It’s rather nice in here. I’ve heard some good things. Thought I’d check it out. My friends didn’t tell me such a hottie worked here though.” Cyan gaze having noticed the features and look of the worker who greeted him. 

"It could get very cold here, especially in the morning. So it's best you warm yourself up. That's what our shop is for anyway." He nodded, agreeing that it could get very much freezing this time of the year around here. Most people come to the shop both to get some nice baked goods and to escape the cold with warm bread and hot beverage, exactly what they were offering to make people feel at ease. As the hood was pulled down, however, the dragon immediately noted that he had seen those features before, somewhere. Not exact pinpoint at the moment but he was certain he had seen this person before. A gentle laugh escaped his lips, corners of mouth stretched into a faint bashful smile over the other's compliment.

                 "Ahah.. I appreciate the compliment, but I hardly think I'm suitable to be described with such a term." A humble man by nature as he gestured to the seat near the counter. "I only work here part-time and my schedule varies. Usually you'd see the old man, but he's out for the day for his errands." He walked out from behind the counter, placing the tray of freshly baked croissant on the display shelf. "Can I get you anything? A cup of hot cocoa, perhaps? It's good for this kind of weather."

So, it wasn't that often or frequent that all that the noirette would find himself at a conflict and wanting to seek help from someone. It wasn't particularly a help, per se, but more on a talk that he didn't actually know how to respond and it pertained the job he took last night. Wanting to let this out or at least talking to someone, not exactly sure who else he could confide in, the male pulled out his phone and dialed a number by memory, placing the device to his ear with a small rub to his temple. This would be embarrassing, and he sure hoped she wouldn't mind. She was the only person he could think of right now, after all.

Waiting for the other line to pick up, his voice came in a steady manner, but softened in slight, showing that soft spot he harbored for the person in question.

               "Fey, are you busy? Would you mind coming to meet me for a bit?"

It wasn't often the Dragon would attend a formal event such as this one, but being an information broker and working on a field that connections were playing a huge role, he couldn't decline the invitation to this grand ball held for a social gathering. A few recognized him, a few didn't, where he mostly turned heads of more than one women in attraction for him dressed sharply in a black tux and neat white shirt that complimented his features. After moving from one side of the hall to the other, he spotted a lone figure of blonde beauty standing at the side just near the window, seemingly bothered by a rather not gentleman where she appeared too polite to send him away despite discomfort on her face.

Smoothly, he paced over in a strong manner, giving the lady a bow and surely ignoring the male going 'Hey!' with a rude manner. His hand extended for the female, a polite smile caressed his lips.

                 "May I have this dance, milady?"

The scent of bread filled the air in the small bakery, where the raven haired dragon had just finished with another fresh batch of croissant he took out from the oven. With mitts over his hands and the sound of the bell at the door ringing, announcing an arrival of customer, he peeked his head out from the back counter, still carrying the tray at hand. It was still early and the bakery had not yet ready to be opened. Probably this customer was an early bird like himself. Nonetheless, he gave a bow to the person as a greeting.

               "Good morning. The bakery isn't opened yet, I'm afraid. But you can take a look around for now if you want." He still had a few of the baked goods to be put on shelves and display, but he didn't mind a customer lingering until open time.
