@ephemeralshot said: Shhh I don’t have multi up yet but Kuroh is sending him birthday kisses 💋💋

A warm laugh fills the air when he's immediately greeted with birthday kisses when he steps out into the main living space. It's beautiful to see how enthusiastic Kuroh is about the day. One might mistake it as being his birthday rather than Yukari's. What is more of a gift than getting to see Kuroh's soul shine brightly?

Although he certainly wasn't going to say no to Kuroh's cooking, that was for sure. Not when the smell of pancakes fills the whole apartment and makes his mouth water while he holds the younger man in a hug.

" Thank you, Kuroh. " A relaxed smile slowly forms on his face at the birthday wishes that are extended to him amidst the flurry of kisses. He was beginning to suspect that it was one for every year. It was sweet, how much effort Kuroh always put into these things. Even if Yukari would be fine with something nondescript ( - well. It was Yukari, it was unlikely to remain as such with his flare for the dramatics ) it was an effort that he did appreciate. It was always rather touching to see the lengths people would go to for one another ; a unique kind of beauty different than what normally pained the world.

" A beautiful start to the day. Homemade breakfast, kisses, and I've only been out here for a few minutes. " Yukari was not skipping steps of his wake up beauty routine even for his birthday. Which was likely when Kuroh had started to make breakfast if he had to guess. " Shall we eat? It'd be very unbecoming to let your breakfast get cold. " He remarks, releasing his hold from around Kuroh to follow him towards the kitchen. " Should I be expecting more surprises? "

 “  You children, always rearing to go.  “  Yukari sighs with a teasing tone at Sukuna’s obvious displeasure. “ It’s rather unsightly. Patience is necessary sometimes.  “  H admonishes while his own gaze sweeps over the area. Despite his own comments, Yukari can’t say he doesn’t understand. He had been hoping for a nice fight or a chance to see the vibrancy of some people’s fights. Instead, they were met with empty streets.

   “  No. Nagare asked us to check.  “  He pauses with a small frown.  “  Sukuna, isn’t it odd to you? We have reports that the blue clan is active, but there’s no one around.  “  Yukari tilts his head, his gaze scanning over the area.  “  Not a single blue clan member....or even any civilians despite it being the afternoon.  “  An illusion perhaps? Or a trap? He was leaning to believing it was the latter.

“This is the worst two player game ever,” Sukuna huffs from where we follows Yukari down the sidewalk. When Nagare told them to go see what the blue clan was up to, suddenly congregating near Green Clan territory, it sounded fun. But so far just wandering around the streets with no blue clan member yet in sight was completely boring.

“Can I go now? No enemies means a lame playing field,” he huffs and swings his scythe in hand, “there isn’t even anyone here!”

Anonymous said: The sender of the gift will be long gone by the time Yukari discovers them, there's no card, only a large bouquet of deep purple roses and a small note containing a short poem: Look inside the hollowed tree, it may seem empty, but it is teaming with life - from a mysterious Kuroh anon

" Oh? What is this? Do I have a secret admirer? " Yukari looks amused - both at the tactic of leaving a gift and running and that, of course he did. Yukari always had some. It was a less a question of if and more of how many.

They're quite beautiful flowers. Yukari lifts a hand to admire the petals - a rich and vivid color that appeals to him. Royalty, mystery, luxury. Something rather fitting to be tied to the beauty angel. A shame there's no card.

Wait!

His eyes catch sight of the note tucked within the bunch of roses, carefully placed to ensure it didn't fall. Poetry? He always had been fond of it. Although there's precious few who share the same love for it, fewer who would gift it, and even fewer who wouldn't do some cheap or cliché poem. On the contrary, he recognizes this particular poem

" It almost feels like two gifts in one. " Yukari smiles - clearly Kuroh was the culprit when it carries the voice of their past king. " Thank you! " Kuroh likely wasn't anywhere around to hear it, but he liked to think that the wind would carry his thanks in it till it reached the black dog's ears.

  Oh dear. It looked like some poor soul was getting stood up. It was such an ugly thing to have to witness. The person looked like they were waiting for someone so hopefully and slowly it seemed to turn to embarrassment as the kept having to send the waiter away. Yukari wonders how long they’ve been holding on to false hope considering he’d already been at the cafe across the way for half an hour and they looked like they’d been here for a while. He had nothing else to do today, so why not offer an escape? He hums to himself as he exits the cafe and makes his way to the crosswalk, and then over to the restaurant and to the table of the poor soul.

“ I’m so sorry I’m so late! The train got delayed and my messages wouldn’t go through. You know how some of the stations can be. “ Yukari offers an apologetic smile as he sits down across from the stranger to help ease the tense atmosphere. (Already he can see the waiter seem to look relieved they won’t have to try to console this poor soul.)  But after a moment he offers a sympathetic smile. “ Sorry dear, stood up? I couldn’t help but notice. I figured you might at least like some company. Please, order whatever. It’s on me. “

   “  Anything dependent on human perception is.  “  Yukari answers simply, his gaze lowering to meet the other man’s head on without concern or any signs of being bothered by the remark.  “  Mm. Without it, here is little difference between that body and that of a rock, beyond the biological aspect. Even flowers could arguably be more alive than someone who has no passion or drive but merely maintains the necessary functions to live.  “

   The Beauty Angel merely smiles at the proposed hypothetical scenario, eyes dancing with delight.  “  Of course I would. Such a devouring passion would be breathtaking to witness. Even if it razes everything to the ground, such passion is unquestionably beautiful in my eyes.  “  A hand lifts to rest against his chest.  “  Even if I have no interest in something, even if it’s the most mundane thing to me,  if a person is passionate, their soul burns a beautiful vivid color.  Even if it is something that works against me, a burning desire to kill me for example, would be beautiful to me so long as that passion was earnest.  “  He chuckles a moment.  “  Though, some flowers have to be snipped early.  “  A potentially dangerous statement said with such ease.  He sighs softly.  “  But this world has so few people who burn with it. I want to see that beauty more.  “

“Isn’t the notion of beauty subjective?” Gleaming curiosity colored the gold of his irises as he fixed his gaze toward the other. “That being said, I don’t disagree with your definition… Passion is essential to living; the soul ought to radiate with splendor. Otherwise, could it not be said that it would merely be existing?”           A gentle chuckle escaped him as he tilted his head in musing. “If you were to encounter an individual with an all-consuming passion which burns both them and this world… would such immolation strike as beautiful to you?”

   “  That’s not a very beautiful expression on your face you know. If you’re not careful, you’ll get wrinkles soon. Or end up like Saruhiko. “

   Yukari hadn’t been expecting to cross paths with the newest red king when he’d gone out today. Although Anna didn’t seem to have the usual loudmouth vanguard with her when he subtly glanced around. How strange. Conceal the traps and the deer wander out, a phrase that seemed too accurate for this moment.. Yet the beauty angel’s words had been the truth ; this was no trap ready to snare the unsuspecting prey. There was no need for the girl now that the silver king had finally made his appearance again.

   He holds up a gloved hand before she can potentially run.  “  There’s no need to worry. I’m not out for a fight or to cause trouble. Nor is Sukuna if you happen to see him running around.  “  Yukari gives a deep sigh, hands on his hips.  “  That boy is so full of energy. He was wanting some new video game that came out. It was rather unbecoming. “  He shakes his head for a moment before looking towards the king before him properly.  “  But that is to say that JUNGLE is not doing anything nefarious. We’re just having a pleasany shopping spree. And I don’t think you’d want to get innocent people caught in the cross fire if you decide to act rashly, do you?  “  

   He raises an eyebrow slightly towards Anna as further emphasis to his words. It wasn’t quite a threat, but it wasn’t a simple passive comment either. Especially not when Yukari’s infamous sword, Ayamachi, rested against his back. Shopping or no, Ayamachi was never far from his side. A few seconds pass, and then the beauty angel’s expression relaxes again into a pleasant smile. The J-Rank glanced between her and the bakery they stood outside before pointing.  “  You don’t happen to be here for the red blossom dessert debuting, are you? It’s quite beautiful. “

@fevercode said: Sukuna demands yukari play video games with him. There is no choice >:c

" I really don't see the appeal of these games compared to the real deal, Sukuna. " Yukari sighs as the young boy practically demands that he play. And Kotosaka's squawking in his ear certainly isn't helping. He'd much rather see the vibrancy of a real person's soul in battle rather than some colorful pixels. But he supposes he can indulge a child's whims. Especially since he seemed to still be sulking about Saruhiko's growing ranking.

" Fine, fine. I'll play. " His hands raise in surrender as he drops down in front of the television, eyes glancing towards the controller and then Sukuna. " You're going to have to teach me how to play this game though. I've never played it. " Fortunately, or unfortunately, Yukari was also a quick learner.

@ofsavior said: what do you keep smiling for? (Saruhiko to Yukari)

love / hate starters

" Contrary to your apparent belief, Saruhiko, a smile won't kill you. " Yukari answers back, hands resting on his hips as he regards their newest member with the same smile, unfazed by the question. It was so predictable of Saruhiko's nature of course.

" If you really must know - " And Saruhiko is going to regret it, Yukari already knows this. " - it's because one of the stores got my lip gloss back in stock. I've been waiting forever since it got back ordered. Sometimes its small things that are worth smiling over. Even Nagare smiles more than you. " Which was rather impressive considering their king's lack of real understanding of his own emotions. A task that was thus given to the Beauty Angel.

Despite his act however, Yukari was under no illusion that anything would be changing Saruhiko's mind or opinion over matters. Only Saruhiko himself could do that. " If you keep yourself in a colorless room, all you're ever going to know is a colorless world, Saruhiko. Grey at best. " He folds his arms across his chest with a sigh. " What are we going to do with you? Your doom and gloom isn't beautiful at all. "

Saruhiko just 🤨

   “  You live in a very colorless world Saruhiko. I wouldn’t expect you to understand. But I hope you might some day.  “
