[what a day! either way buzen is going to be crossing paths with percy - probably at the dojo!! that's where buzen is going to live for a bit. though as they spend longer in each other's proximity, doing their sword practice, he'll pause
[ percy has never been in a dojo before in his entire life. but. sprucing up on his sword technique since he only has one goddamn bullet seems like a good idea. of course, these wooden swords are very different from the usual, but between both finesse and strength, he actually doesn't do too badly.
at the request however, he gives a pause, having stopped to clean his glasses from a bit of sweat. buzen is blurry when he looks up. ]
I...
[ there's a somewhat concerned look on his face. ]
[ don't touch very often. it's limited. but the longer he stands there, the less like a fool he feels and the more like someone who wants to hug. that's stupid. this is stupid and he's stronger than impulse but at the same time he.
really wouldn't mind. just.
one. ]
It's alright, actually. [ he gives a quick nod. it's buzen. there are worse people who could have asked. frankly, there couldn't have been better. he has a more than tolerable disposition. pleasant to spend time around even. he gestures with a gloved hand. ] Come. A hug.
[aw. buzen perks up at that, not unlike when you tell a friendly dog that he's the good boy. he laughs a little bit then as he wanders over, opening his arms!]
Whenever you're ready then, Percy-san.
[ - it's at least something he's good at. reading when people are apprehensive, and being patient for them. if percy had a reason to hesitate, then buzen wouldn't force it on him!
but he will give him a very warm, kind embrace whenever he does come closer]
[ buzen has... a lot in common with someone percy knows well, and that's perhaps half the reason he finds his shoulders going easy when he steps forward. it's not forced by any means... barring the effects of the prism this week, it's impulse that has him moving forward to accept this embrace, which is far warmer and kinder than he was expecting.
if he dips his head briefly downwards to settle further in and lifts his arms up to return the hug, it's almost a little uncertain, like he's poised for the recoil.
[the uncertainty is met with a pretty unconditional sense of acceptance and security - like buzen's used to dealing with this kind of apprehension when it comes to affection. he'll let his arms wrap around percy, a hand at his back to rub slow, reassuring circles as if to try to help encourage him.
there's no recoil to be found - he's safe here in this warm little hug.]
Haha, it's nice, right? Thanks for going along with it.

[ there's a somewhat concerned look on his face. ]
Are you... unwell?
[ that's not a no, but. u ok, bud? ]
no subject
[though he does seem to wonder about it? he tilts his head.]
Sorry, it's a weird thing to ask out of the blue, right? But I'm just getting the feeling like I want to...
But! If you say no, I get that too. I don't wanna force anybody into anything.

It's nicer than I expected.
[ he is not letting go, weirdly enough just sort of lingers in it. ]
No offense, of course, I just don't... hug very often. My family didn't really touch all that much.
no subject
No offense taken.
I wouldn't say the Gous are my family.... but they tend to hold onto or lean on me a lot, so I'm pretty used to it.
So this reminds me a little of that.
