Thread: Master (FavoredFox)

Yusuke Urameshi took a deep, appreciative breath of his scenic surroundings. The beautiful landscape the temple grounds and land surrounding it had to offer was only ever so impacting when he'd climbed one of his favorite trees. This tree was a good deal taller than most of the others. It gave a perfect 360 degree view of so much of the land they'd inherited. And, this being one of his favorites, the higher branches were thicker and stronger than the others. They bowed out and offered a lovely nook to settle in to. Because it was not just his favorite, but that of his lover as well. He couldn't be one hundred percent sure, but he did have the idea that this particular set of characteristics within the high branches of some of the trees that littered the area had at least something to do with Kurama, if not everything. After all, they shared just about every one of their favorite spots, which was quite possibly what made them favorites in the first place. Chocolate eyes looked down over the landscape again to pull in the calming sight and let it settle in his bones. His attention was drawn over toward the temple, as it usually was during these times of rest. Despite the fact that he had needed a moment to get away for himself, there was simply no chance he could actually pull himself away from the area without his interests falling right back on his home his family. Up here, still within view of the temple, he was able to get away just enough that the squabbling chatter, bickering fights, and chaos that surrounded the rather full 'house hold' couldn't reach him quite as easily. But it was close enough that he could keep the mindful eye of a protective nature he would never lose on the general area and he could sense the goings-on as well. Should anything go wrong he would be able to make his way back in moments. As he looked over the grounds he caught sight of the bright red hair of his husband. Focusing his eyes, he could see the blonde curls of the small girl who used to scream at the fox's very presence from over his shoulder. He couldn't help but smile at the warmth the interaction between the two brought to his core. Lilly wasn't as interested in Yusuke any more, surely, but he was willing to accept that for the bond it was forging between her and the man who claimed to hate children. For someone who supposedly did, Kurama was getting closer with them by the day. The siblings, Keichi and Lilly, were the two he was growing closest with. Keichi was his apprentice so that didn't really surprise the former detective. Though he still wasn't quite sure how Lilly had managed to grab his attention. If he had to guess he would probably be a bit projective with it. The tiny girl was so adorable it was sometimes painful, at least in Yusuke's eyes. So, if he had to guess, he would suppose it probably had to do with that. It was insanely hard not to fall for something so cute. He knew. He'd fallen so hard for the cute thing in his life that he'd continued to follow it around like a lost puppy and had eventually married 'it'. A chuckle wracked his chest for another reason though. A niggle of jealousy and possession rolled through him as he watched what little of the two he could see interacting. It amused him because he knew it was silly of course, but moreso because he almost couldn't decide which of the two creatures below he was more jealous of almost. A warm sigh huffed past his chest as he nestled down against the tree and formed into the grooved branch comfortably. Closing his eyes allowed him a nice long moment to soak up the warm rays of a beautifully sunny day all over again. His arms lifted and hands slid behind his head for a bit of comfort against the hard bark. If Kurama were here Yusuke would have had a much more comfortable pillow to rest against than his own hands. He'd wanted desperately to ask the man to join him to take a nap curled up to his sweet fox and lying partially in his lap like he used to do so much more often than lately. Because with all of the children he'd brought in, and both of their apprentices to deal with, it was hard to find time together. Certainly they were able to when they really needed, but it wasn't as often as either of them liked... He hadn't asked though. Because he had noticed that interaction between the two creatures he'd been watching just a moment ago. He couldn't interrupt Kurama and Lilly's time together. The softest of all soft spots he might have were reserved specifically for those two. It wasn't something he'd decided of course, just something that had happened. But seeing those two together, their interaction warm, thrilled, and abundantly enjoyed he simply couldn't bare to be the one to pull them apart. It was okay though. Even though he would have preferred to have his husband sharing in his 'alone' time at the moment it wasn't exactly horrible without him... Sometimes it could be, but just at the moment he could bare it. Another warm sigh rolled from his chest unbarred as the focus in his eyes bled away and he simply stared at the scenery he was graced with all over again. He was, in fact, so relaxed from the delicious wind wafting over him and the warm sun heating him to the core at the moment that it was entirely possible he might find a small nap for himself even without the comfort his husband brought him.
