(Hyperlaser and Katana have both of their masks off, btw..)
"Just.. Slow and steady. I don't want you hurting yourself so soon."
Katana murmured with care, eyeing the candles and radio he set up under the tree, red leaves slowly prickling off and fluttering down the branches. It might've been a faint gold-ish blur in Hyperlaser's eyes, plus the warmth of the candles as well. So he was nervous it might be given away just by that little detail. He took a deep breath though, calming himself down instead of panicking and worrying.
Katana borrowed the radio from Slingshot, so he had to give it back in some way. But this wasn't the main focus he should think about, it was.. Well, Hyperlaser. He prepared a nice little.. Date? Picnic? He wasn't sure, but he had this idea in mind for a long while.
"..."
Katana stopped in his tracks for a moment, making Hyperlaser stop as well, as they were in the distance of the set up. "I know you can't see very well," Katana started, looking down. Katana didn't know why he put so much effort into this, rose petals and incense sticks only to be unseen.
"..I'm sorry, i'll keep silent for now." Katana pushed away the thought and continuation of his sentence, continuing to walk slowly with his hand over Hyperlaser’s waist, his other on his shoulder. He wanted to have a good time with him rather than spilling out his anxious thoughts. He didn't want to make his beloved feel bad.
"You're fine, Katana. ..I'm sure it's great."
Hyperlaser would say as he'd try looking into the distance, noticing the details he could. The golden blur of the candles, the leaves swaying in the tree.. Rose petals falling. This is only what he assumed what it was though.
Hyperlaser held onto Katana's hands with care, as he was being guided by him. It did seem a little bit awkward, but for Hyperlaser, it was loving.
He could feel the warm atmosphere on his face, it being comforting, also taking in the scent, as the incense filled the air.
This was unexpected, at least from Hyperlaser. He appreciated the effort Katana took, as he could blurrily see everything. He could tell it was Darkage Cliffs, by the colour and everything, but he could also blurrily see the things that were added, as he was eyeing the details earlier. He loved the feeling of the place, remembering him mentioning that fact once to Katana. He was a bit surprised Katana even remembered that but, he appreciated it.
Hyperlaser took in the silence Katana left it as, it being more relaxed, rather than awkward.
Katana quietly listened to every single sound Hyperlaser emitted. His breathing, his footsteps, the slight ruffle in his clothes whenever he moved. He found himself weird for actually paying attention to those.
He finally stopped at the set up, looking down and around in case anything was missing or wrong.
"..Have you ever danced before?"
Just asking that question made Katana nervous, looking at Hyperlaser's face to examine his reaction. If he didn't know, he wouldn't know what to say. But he could teach him.. At least. He did like taking things slowly up to the top.
"I just.. Had an idea." Katana continued more quietly, his voice barely above a whisper as he gently kicked a small pebble away, making a dull inaudible thud.
"I.. Have not." Hyperlaser’s face looking only slightly concerned, but still looking like how he is originally looking.
he would be looking at Katana, at least the best he could.
Hyperlaser’s face filled with slight colour as he was looking at Katana. With them being close and all, he was the clearest thing he could see. It wasn't the best, no, but it was enough to tell who he was.
With both of their masks off, it was more sensual. Hyperlaser appreciated this, at least moments like this.
“I’m sorry.. But, what is your idea?” Hyperlaser inquired.
Katana hummed in thought for a little while, looking down. It was mostly at the radio though.
“..Just,, This.”
He slowly let go of Hyperlaser to walk up to the radio, pressing a button. It didn't really do anything though, he wasn't good at working these. A few clicks before he finally got it to work, now playing smooth jazz. It wasn't the best quality, but it added that warm feeling with its fuzziness.
"I'll guide you, if you'd like that." Katana took Hyperlaser's hand in his own, holding it up. He thought it might be easy, since it's more swaying rather than moving around and hitting all those actions. He'd.. Probably hurt his back if he did that.
"..I would." Hyperlaser squeezed Katana’s hand as it was grabbed.
Hyperlaser listened to the music, smiling slightly. With its quality, it made it feel more calm. Yet muffled, he enjoyed it. Hyperlaser knew he probably wouldn't be the best at dancing, but he didn’t complain. He was rather.. A little excited.
..Though, Hyperlaser was a bit worried, but he didn't show that on his face. He wanted to not have Katana worry about him during these moments. Squeezing his hand was really the only way he could oh so possibly share that, but barely.
It seemed like Hyperlaser was looking off to the side, not at Katana, but for a small moment, he had lightly lost where Katana had gone, at least in his vision. He knew Katana was close, as holding his hand, but still, the colours of the background and Katana looked much alike at the moment.
"I want to make this one of the best experiences you could possibly have."
Katana hummed quietly into his ear, leaning in close as his shattered horn grazed his cheek a bit. He didn't mind though, it was Hyperlaser's. Katana wrapped an arm around his waist once more, still holding his hand. He had the other flushed up against his own chest, feeling comfortable and safe. He led Hyperlaser’s vision, or head practically, towards himself, so he wouldn’t be just.. Looking off to the side.
Katana hesitated, but slowly started to move with the music, closing his eyes to relish in the moment that probably wouldn't last long.
Hyperlaser’s face filled with more colour, as he smiled from Katana's words. His breath slightly hitched from Katana leading his vision back towards, but he appreciated the help, his breath going back to how it was. Light, slightly shaky, soft sighs..
He just held onto Katana, seeming sorta tight. He followed his movements, slowly, but carefully, so he wouldn't ruin this.
Hyperlaser then closed his eyes with Katana, also taking in the moment, getting a slight bit closer to him.
Katana spun himself and the other around softly, nuzzling his hair a bit.
"..I love you." He breathed out, quietly inhaling his scent as his words were practically oozing with admiration. He adored him, so much. It felt like if he ever let go or even loosened his grip, he'd vanish out of his arms, away from him. So he held him tighter subconsciously, their feet trailing around slow in a macabre pattern.
Hyperlaser chuckled softly, from Katana's words. He smiled, feeling a little giddy.
"I.. Love you too." Hyperlaser said softly, love oozing out from his words.
He held onto Katana, closer than before, but enough to not trip them up.
Hyperlaser put his head into Katana's chest, also just quietly taking in his scent. It was so comforting.. He didn't wanna let him go. He felt just like Katana, as so.
Katana let out a low croon-like hoot of content, his movements hazy. He moved his hand from Hyperlaser’s waist to his back, rubbing the small of it in slow lazy circles.
His tail ruffled up, wagging slightly.
Hyperlaser had a nub for a tail, and yet being so small and cut off, it wagged with Katana's.
He wrapped his arms around Katana, like a hug, as Katana moved his hand. He squeezed him, not too tight, but in a comforting way.
Katana smiled from the squeeze, giving a small kiss on Hyper’s forehead. His movements got a bit slower, but he still held onto Hyperlaser and danced with him.
Even though Hyperlaser’s face was buried into Tana’s chest, not being able to be seen, he smiled even more, his face increasing with colour slowly from the light kiss.
He still went along with Katana, following the speed and movements.
"..I loved you for a long time really."
Katana fluttered his eye open, stopping his movements for a minute. He held Hyperlaser tight, moving his hand up to palm the back of his head and tangling his fingers within his hair.
He slowly pulled back, admiring his face until kneeling down.
Katana took his hands into his own, gently rubbing his thumb over his damaged but healed skin.
"..Hyper."
"..I feel the same." Hyperlaser would say, slowly opening his eyes and staring at Katana now, rather than burying into his chest.
His eyes looked like they were filled with admiration, at least towards Katana. He was staring deep into his own eyes, as he was technically on his level now. His blush was visible now, but he wasn’t hiding it.
"Please." Katana squeezed Hyperlaser’s hands tighter.
"Will you make our relationship real for me? For us?" He breathed out, hoping for an answer. He loved him, so much. He wanted to be even closer, not just small fades of colour in the tip of their horns now.
Hyperlaser looked surprised for a small second, but then it turned into love, gazing at Katana, already having the answer in his mind.
"Of course." He smiled, grinned even, a sparkle on his own dull eyes. He nodded as he said that, showing that he really does want this relationship.
"I was.. Waiting for this moment, actually."
Hyperlaser embarrassingly said, but he wanted to admit that. They were already so close, and he was wondering when the day would come when Katana.. Would be asking this.
His tail wagged even more, seeming like an excited dog.
Katana let out a slight hoot from surprise, but he wasn't mad. He was excited, almost getting misty eyed. He stood up, straightening his back before hugging Hyperlaser again in silence, closing his eyes and letting some tears fall out.
"I-.. Love you, I love you so much." Katana breathed out, nuzzling his face into his hair. "I'm never leaving you, ever." He squeezed tight.
Hyperlaser hugged Katana back, squeezing him tight as well.
He moved his face into Katana's chest, again, nuzzling into him like a cat would.
"I'm glad I'm.. Spending the rest of my life with you." Hyperlaser would say, muffled.
His breath was shaky, not really, but it was like he was crying. He.. Obviously couldn't. But he showed the signs that he would've, like Katana.
"Please, ..Keep that promise." He, again muffled, referring to the last line Katana said.
"I will."
Katana’s tears fell onto Hyperlaser’s scalp as he slowly rubbed his back, muffling out some sniffles. He could only mumble out sweet things on how he adored and loved him, letting the music fade in with his small sentences.
