"Kurama," he started with obvious questioning behind the hint of a smile. "Why exactly are you gracing me with your presence?" The redhead shrugged partway, not breaking his focus as he moved his pawn forward and took the other's knight. Yomi had let him, he knew, but it was more fun to challenge his expectations than to try to run around the board for a more obscure strategy.
"Curiosity." He sat back as the other's queen took his pawn, a boring move to match his own, but a valid one at that. He was rather enjoying this, playing without care for who would be bested. "Does it bother you?"
Yomi was quick to shake his head, his smile growing into the grin of a man easily contented.
"More like, makes me curious myself. Is there some sort of angle I'm missing? We've not had reason to speak in what feels like ages." It was true; there were no tournaments, no contests for the world, nothing to be gained tactically from the meeting. Kurama shifted, setting his piece down and tilting his head to the side playfully.
"You're right; we've no common interests anymore. Doesn't that make spending time like this so much nicer?" The blind king took that in for a moment, basking in the happy quiet that passed between them as they played, and sighed.
"It really is."
Still not my ship, but I really like the idea of these two acknowledging that everything between them is different and running with it. There's a few more Yomi ideas you'll probably get from me eventually!
