Don't tell me you're suffering from an onset disease that affects the brain.
[ he doubts it, ugetsu is too young to be forgetting their conversation that quick, or maybe it's something else? whatever could it be? does he tire? does he ache? does he have too much on his mind? there's many questions, but only one answer. ]
I doubt it. You should remember these little things, I wouldn't want you thinking one thing when it's clearly another.
[ idea makes a mental note to look into that, no, he turns around in his chair to face his desk. as soon as he does, he's reaching out for a folder, parting it to reveal a file on ugetsu murata. his index finger runs down a list to double check if there's anything he should know about that. ]
I won't pry until we're together. If you'd like to start now, then I can adjust. However, what I have in mind starts in the upcoming month. You're a genius, how familiar are you with both math and science?
if i have a disease it would be news to me, but i've never checked either way.
as to seeing you -- i can wait. i'm not in any particular rush.
regarding my memory, you'll have to forgive me.
[ some time passes, and it might very well seem like he's outright ignoring the other question, but in this case it's not so. rather, he finds himself occupied answering a flurry of anxious and demanding texts from different patrons about certain canceled upcoming performances, as well as one wholly unrelated but somehow more important. ]
"genius" isn't something i'd apply to myself per se, certainly not outside of music.
that said, i'm familiar enough but nothing impressive, certainly not for someone of your position.
I was only teasing. You know me, I only wish to find a cure for what ails those plagued by the nature of their body.
[ idea is satisfied on whether ugetsu wants to see him or not, even his memory if fine since there's nothing he can find regarding it. his only unfortunate traits are smoking alongside some other relationships, but idea shouldn't complain. this is why he's grateful for what he has and that's the other continuing a connection with him.
time and patience is what idea tells himself. ]
I know it didn't take you that long to think of a reply. What are you busy with? You should be conversing with me.
i am conversing with you, hagiwara. it just so happens there are others demanding my attention at the same time.
[ with an announcement that his flight has been canceled, the only relief is standing and stretching until he can feel everything crack, then gingerly picking up his violin case to head to the nearest hotel, which is of course the one attached to the airport.
as he stands on the automated path, he adds, ]
seems i'll have some extra time even so. my flight was just canceled.
[ after all that waiting. at least once he's in his room he can smoke, assuming he can grab one with a balcony. ]
Stop splitting your attention, we're having an important conversation.
[ not really, it's far from important, but it's idea who chooses to give his time to people, and it shouldn't be wasted. ugetsu can do anything he wants, what he pleases, and idea will be satisfied as long as the other returns to him at some point. in the end, he did, and idea has half the mind to praise him for doing so. ]
What a pity. Has the weather been that horrid? That's such a pity, you must have been so busy.
[ a playful text to add to ugetsu's misfortune, but since he has extra time, why not monopolize it? ]
[ ugetsu could say a great deal to that or a great deal of nothing. in fact, he takes just as much time to reply this time as the other (due to checking in at the hotel, well, waiting for them to figure out a room anyway) and when he does, it's with a rather focused response. ]
i don't know? i'm not often around them.
[ children... that's a very specific question. ugetsu doesn't understand it if he's honest. does hagiwara have siblings? he has no idea. but why would they be coming along on this "vacation"?
in the elevator, he's miraculously alone and lets himself lean back against the wall in what's little more than a collapse. at the same time, his fingers twitch on the valise. shame the hotel rooms aren't soundproofed. maybe he'll risk it anyway. probably. ]
[ don't think too hard about it, ugetsu. it's a normal question that comes up in every conversation at least once during a person's lifetime. idea's reasons are a little different, but the answer works well enough for him that he sees no reason to say that he can't handle children. ]
Are you saying that you put up with them?
[ that seems up his alley, really. idea wouldn't put this past him either considering how his world only consists of so many people.
luckily, it's not a topic they have to linger due to another text message, sent from a separate number, appearing on ugetsu's phone. it's a time and location with strict rules of what he should do along the way there: leave his phone in a box, place both hands on a cold tray, walk through a body scanner among other specific requests. if he attempts to text the number back, it'll no longer be in use. ]
i don't mind them, but that's not saying much. people don't often bring them to my performances, so i rarely see them.
why are you asking me about children?
[ lingering or not, ugetsu can't help but ask even as he eyes the separate message with a twist of amusement and disconnect. it's dangerous a little, maybe. he supposes. this sort of direction is the kind of thing that would have his ex asking him what's wrong with him and telling him not to do it. because it's ugetsu he doesn't bother trying to reply to that number. ]
is there coffee on this deserted island or wherever?
I was thinking how they carry on our bloodline, and how different the future would be with more of you in the world.
[ not really, there's a totally different reason as to why he asked, but this one sounds funnier than the truth of it. besides, it seems like he can get a pretty generic and simple response from him: maybe he's not interested.
idea hums as he taps his foot on the floor, how should he follow up on his whimsical question. has he thought of adoption? he should give it a try. ]
Yes, I hope you have an interest in Western food. As for activities, I cannot do anything strenuous, but I'm open to accommodating you in any way that you'd like in regards to it.
[ more of him in the world, really. he almost laughs. ]
i don't dislike it, for the most part.
but i wasn't looking to do anything that requires overexerting oneself.
[ if left to his own devices he'll just practice. he doesn't seem to be able to put his violin down for too long but especially when he gets into a mood, which he's long been approaching another. if he is not allowed to do this, said mood will swing magnificently and possibly either extreme of violence or utter sloth, because with ugetsu it tends to be a toss up between these two, even if their forms can vary. ]
[ such an idea would leave to what, more devastation in the world? not like it needs that, but maybe there's something a child like that could offer. pick up more talents and be harvested for what it's learned? ]
Don't you think we'd have the cutest child. ♡
[ is he joking? anyway.
as long ugetsu doesn't expect so much mobility from idea, then maybe they can coexist peacefully. he has no reason to take away the man's joys or luxuries, it allows him to tap into his true essence so as long as idea can see and utilize then ugetsu can do what he wants.
idea smiles, kicking his feet against the floor. it sounds fun to him. ]
If you want to play your instrument, you can. I'd be your audience.
[ it's probably true but whether serious or make-believe humor, the hypothetical child would be riddled likely with so many physical and mental detriments, that's really the thing ugetsu thinks of after his knee jerk response. then he lets it go because it is a joke isn't it. well either way... ]
convenient, as if i couldn't, i really would have to decline your generous offer.
Don't worry, I won't let you play alone. I don't see why you would want to.
[ that makes him curious, just as much as the "visually" on the question of a child. it's so specific that idea thinks that the other must have concerns about the other parts of the make believed child.
oh, he shouldn't worry about such things when idea has so much control. ]
Has it always been this difficult to get a "yes" out of you? They call men like you hard to get. Haha.
You should say yes to me more often, it could make your life a little more interesting.
[ he's not asking for ugetsu to pay attention to him, rather to indulge him a little more. if he can smoke as much as he does, there's other questionable choices to also take up.
well, idea wouldn't want to be labeled as something questionable. ]
Why is that? You must be pulling my leg, but I do want to see you practice. I'm sure there's some way I could help.
[ there is a part of ugetsu that is curious but there is also a bigger part of him that doesn't trust. all of this is offset by his general disregard for both his health and his safety in favor of the single-mindedness of music. he eyes the other message from the mystery number, the instructions and scant details and lets his gaze fall half-mast, looking for all the world like he's just going to take a nap at this point in the airport. perhaps he will. but before that, ]
i still don't quite understand what you're getting out of this, you know.
[ but he's interested enough to take the offer, this time. ]
Are you not a fan of the word "interesting"? I find it opens up so many possibilities.
[ there he goes again showcasing his curiosity, he won't let things be as they should, and who is idea to take this away from him? he did ask, can't say that he didn't. what is he getting out of this? truthfully, it'd be information, a decision, the ending conclusion of where their relationship stands upon other things. ]
I want to be with you, isn't that more than enough of a reason? It's not so special that I need to profess it like love, unless you're into that sort of thing? Are you a romantic at heart?
[ maybe that's what he was expecting due to idea's curiosity about children and other things, but it takes time to acclimate a person from one view to another. ]
But if you choose to ignore that, we can focus on this: I need your help.
[ one thing ugetsu certainly lacks is fear or much apprehension of anything. he asks because there's no downside to asking as far as he can tell, and if he's wrong then he's wrong and he'll deal with it then, if he has to. but the questions about hagiwara's own response make him pause, about to just ignore it outright before he sees the next part.
help?
well. ]
i remain curious.
[ the painfully obvious ignoring of everything else hagiwara said is, well, purposeful. but also ugetsu doesn't care about being beholden to answers himself even when he's the one who asked the question! it bears saying he doesn't mean any of it as a game either, as of yet. he genuinely is curious. curious enough to go through with the directions given to him at the time detailed and in the manner given. ]
honestly it did not like the way idea was speaking to him
Curious enough to witness it for yourself, I'm sure?
[ let's see how far that curiosity goes, especially when it means he can pull ugetsu to wherever he'd like to satiate it. hopefully this means idea doesn't have to explain outright what he's having trouble with. ]
It's a once in a lifetime.
[ for him, maybe, but for idea this will be an ongoing occurrence if he's able to get everything like he wants it. who knew ugetsu could be so kind in a way that he hasn't brushed idea off yet, but that's probably die to idea baiting and pulling. just a little taste of the unknown, and lure the other in to want to understand it. truthfully, he did mean it when he wanted to take a vacation for a month, it's just work goes hand in hand with that too.
[ a spade a spade, but that's fine. it's not as if ugetsu knows what the spade actually is, and in reality, if he did know or have more insight, it wouldn't make it a sudden no from him either. if he were to run this by anyone, as if he has anyone to run it by in the first place, that one person would tel him it is crazy and not to go. might even try to stop him even against his will.
the thought turns the corners of ugetsu's mouth up but it's not a happy expression.
he's tempted to tell his ex but if it doesn't go how ugetsu wants it to, he'll be even more discontent. this too has not always stopped him before, but maybe he is just curious enough for real. less about hagiwara and more about what he will get out of him, if anything.
a month? one full set of moon phases. he wonders if it will rain. ]
To call it "bait", how mean! It comes from my heart.
[ a liar is a liar.
the less he gives the more ugetsu will come, and it works to his advantage that causes a smile to pull on idea's face. he's way too excited about the chance of seeing his friend face to face, and using him for his own personal desires. would ugetsu be mad at him? they've known each other long enough on the business aspect, idea likes to think. it's with playful intent that he continues. ]
❤️
[ his heart isn't so tiny, but maybe it'd be covered in black ooze from the way he truly acts. when he doesn't get his way, he can't help but hit and curse, becoming abusive to his very own slave. it's fortunate that the other is going along with this without tugging away which means only good things for those who serve under him. ]
I am ecstatic for your help, really. I won't know how to repay you.
[ and skepticism is at an all time high but that doesn't stop ugetsu from agreeing, does it. even once he more fully understands why he's been half summoned half invited or maybe those percentages are off, well, either way, once he knows, it's not the kind of thing ugetsu gets angry about. if idea were to deny him his violin, that would make him angry. depending on his mood or how much he's had to drink, sometimes the mention of a certain someone can also prod at the fire that does in fact reside in ugetsu but that's tied to music as well. being used does not especially bother him, though he'll maybe have a hard time understanding the details and mechanics. not, perhaps, that he'll even try.
of course, once he knows, he could refuse. or in ugetsu's head there's always the option. on this, possibly, they won't agree, but that's a later problem.
in the end, there's no one who can hurt or abuse ugetsu more than himself, and that's a lifelong truth.
he eyes the heart and ignores it, but when he reads the last, he laughs down against the collar of his jacket. ]
i'm sure i'll think of something. having you owe me is also not bad, all things considered.
[ best course of action is to want nothing from idea, but knowing that he, himself, could potentially have something ugetsu could gain is a good thing. this is where he understands his position as a resource that the man won't get rid of even if it's in his best interest.
the hagiwara family has a long line of questionable actions, covered up, but still a wealthy company can do whatever they want as long as there is no one to stop them. idea smiles only a little as he's curious himself what the other could even ask for, especially with the type of father he has, mostly everything shouldn't be out of ugetsu's reach depending on the means he uses to obtain them.
maybe that's where idea falls into play. ]
It is my generosity, haven't we know each other long enough that I extend my hand if you extend yours?
[ that's the baseline for anything between two people, but he continues. ]
Having me is a boon in your life, what's that phrase? Take your blessings as they come?
admittedly nothing comes to mind at the moment, but it's nice to know i'm owed something.
[ despite his father's position, ugetsu prefers not to go that route for a few reasons. the fact that he's more willing to consider asking idea is...well, speaks for itself perhaps. either way, he doesn't feel the need to specify.
.
by the time it's actually the week he's going through with this slightly ridiculous plan, ugetsu is so restless he'd probably have still done it even if it had more red flags attached. he follows the instructions, perplexed by some, unfazed by others. either during the process with a moment to pause or after he's finished but before he's put on a plane or whatever form of transportation, he thinks to send a message, though he knows hagiwara is well informed of all happenings. ]
i did wonder what would happen if i didn't show up
That curious? I would have asked for someone to retrieve you. Don't ask such questions you know the answer to.
[ idea laughs at the thought of ugetsu leaving before the discussed time. there has been people watching him from their first message to inform idea of what he's been up to to ensure nothing goes outside of the future that idea has already thought up for them. he chooses not to admit that. ]
I would have made sure you weren't late.
[ surprising enough, it isn't a plane that's taking him, but rather there's a tall gentleman with cream colored hair, stitches embedded into the skin around his mouth to keep him from speaking, or maybe he can and chooses not to. around his neck is a dog collar with a leash, and he dresses formally with his dress shirt tucked in aside from the jacket over his clothes unbuttoned.
ugetsu's chauffeur wastes no time however, walking over to grab whatever bags the other is bringing along with him. the taller man offers a cursory glance at ugetsu before looking towards the vehicle, specifically the backseat where ugetsu should move to while he works with the luggage. ]
I see you didn't want to get rid of your phone, but it's fine. You'll be too busy with me to stay in contact with others.

the hagiwara family has a long line of questionable actions, covered up, but still a wealthy company can do whatever they want as long as there is no one to stop them. idea smiles only a little as he's curious himself what the other could even ask for, especially with the type of father he has, mostly everything shouldn't be out of ugetsu's reach depending on the means he uses to obtain them.
maybe that's where idea falls into play. ]
It is my generosity, haven't we know each other long enough that I extend my hand if you extend yours?
[ that's the baseline for anything between two people, but he continues. ]
Having me is a boon in your life, what's that phrase? Take your blessings as they come?

[ despite his father's position, ugetsu prefers not to go that route for a few reasons. the fact that he's more willing to consider asking idea is...well, speaks for itself perhaps. either way, he doesn't feel the need to specify.
.
by the time it's actually the week he's going through with this slightly ridiculous plan, ugetsu is so restless he'd probably have still done it even if it had more red flags attached. he follows the instructions, perplexed by some, unfazed by others. either during the process with a moment to pause or after he's finished but before he's put on a plane or whatever form of transportation, he thinks to send a message, though he knows hagiwara is well informed of all happenings. ]
i did wonder what would happen if i didn't show up

[ idea laughs at the thought of ugetsu leaving before the discussed time. there has been people watching him from their first message to inform idea of what he's been up to to ensure nothing goes outside of the future that idea has already thought up for them. he chooses not to admit that. ]
I would have made sure you weren't late.
[ surprising enough, it isn't a plane that's taking him, but rather there's a tall gentleman with cream colored hair, stitches embedded into the skin around his mouth to keep him from speaking, or maybe he can and chooses not to. around his neck is a dog collar with a leash, and he dresses formally with his dress shirt tucked in aside from the jacket over his clothes unbuttoned.
ugetsu's chauffeur wastes no time however, walking over to grab whatever bags the other is bringing along with him. the taller man offers a cursory glance at ugetsu before looking towards the vehicle, specifically the backseat where ugetsu should move to while he works with the luggage. ]
