Ru sighed in relief when he put out the flames, he didn't really wish to return to the outlaws having to find an excuse for not just missing the meetings but why he was missing pants, considering all his stuff was there... The ones he currently had on were now scorched at the bottom of his left leg, but seemed to be fine other wise. Looking over to the laughing Kaku, Ru both growled and laughed along side him, he could only guess that it was amusing to watch, and he would be doing the same if the situation was reversed. Looking down at the fish, Ru cringed at the burnt flesh of it... It was only on the fire for about a minute, and this just proved that he couldn't cook. "I apologise about the fish... I was attempting to surprise you, and this just proves that I cant cook.... Hehe." Ru gave off a nervous chuckle... The one time he actually was purposefully trying to surprise the other and it backfires on him, literally. But when Ru turned quiet once more, and his mind was emptied, he could tell it began to wander and he thought back to that nightmare he had. Jumping out the river heading over to the fire as to dry of his pants once more, he knew he was probably acting a little off, but he couldn't help but feel as if that nightmare was real. "Im sorry..." Whether it was for his behaviour, or that fact he managed to burn the food in under a minute, Ru didn't know.

Kaku had to give Ru credit, the fish certainly wasn't going to poison him from being undercooked. It looked burnt in a way Kaku never really experienced before, like the skin had simply erupted for a few seconds, burning the flesh to charcoal in a manner of seconds. If Ru had really overcooked the fish in under a minute, then it really was impressive. Shaking his head slightly, Kaku smirked to Ru. "Oh that was cooking? I thought you were just trying to punish the fish for attacking me earlier... burnt at the stake by the looks of it." Kakushin joked, lifting the fish to make sure it was sterile. Angels were good cooks, but incredibly finicky about the quality of food. Everyone had to be prepared in a clean environment, under completely sterile conditions. Kaku was a rebellious Angel, but even he liked things over-clean.
The Angel watched Rurushu turned quiet and wander over to the fire to warm up. Kaku gave him a minute silence before following him with curious concern. Kaku carefully placed the skewered fish near the fire, but not too close, before wandering behind Rurushu to wrap around the Demon. "What you sorry for? It was a sweet gesture, and the fish is far from inedible, so no need to feel bad." Kaku tried to comfort his Outlaw, not being able to help think something else was up. Kaku's eyes still felt pretty heavy. Now he'd tasted sleep after so many days without it, he couldn't keep it deterred. Yawning quietly, Kaku leaned his head over Ru's shoulder. "Is everything alright?"

Ru gave off a slight, barely audible chuckle at the joke... Before turning fully quiet, just watching the flames flicker for a few moments. When Kaku join him however, Ru could feel an invisible dam break as he let a tear fall, that nightmare got to him more than he thought. "Ever.... Ever have a dream that feels so, so real, that you cant help but believe it will come to pass?" Rurushu knew he could trust Kaku with this, and it wasn't until after he spoke that he realised that Kaku said something before hand, and yawned... "Sorry for suddenly turning quiet I guess... Ya know, if your tired still you can sleep, don't let me keep you up.." In truth, Ru didn't actually want to be alone right now, he wanted the company... Well company that was replying with words rather then snores, but he knew that Kaku must still be tired, even more so now he's slept, and Ru didn't want to deprive him of it due to his dream. Ru leant him head on Kaku's and gripped one of the others hands, more so to show he was really here, and not missing like in his dream.

Dreams were really strange things, just as strange as the Guardian in charge of them. Yume had once been a friend of Kaku's... before she turned completely insane and refused to speak to another soul. The only time Kaku had managed to get through to the Guardian of Dream was when she was 'counselling' him on his frequent, reoccurring dreams. Nightmares were awful, most notably the ones that kept happening, and seemed too real to really understand. Kaku tried not to shudder at remember his own dream, how the one he'd been used to ignoring had upgraded to truly cause the Angel to panic. But it wasn't fair to focus on his own issue, Kaku wanted to make sure Ru was alright. The Angel sighed, going to sit down, holding Ru's hand to pull him down with him. "I have a friend in Aura, Yume, Guardian of Dreams..." Kaku began, looking into the dancing flames as he spoke, "She's helped me once or twice with dream issues. She says that despite her being in control of the dreams people have, there are some thing even she cannot control. When I asked her for help, Yume said that dreams relating to one's past are common, you think of something before you fall asleep and that creates a story... as dream. But, future events, or things ones fears might happen, can also be common. But Yume told me that in the end, dreams are just that, dreams... fabrications of simple thoughts that we think of. It can be a fear of something you think might happen, for example." Kaku yawned again, knowing he'd have to refuse sleep for as long as he was determined to help Rurushu by offering comfort. "But... she told me something else. That there's more to the world than what is created by Angels or Demons, spirits... that control every vibe of life. Yume said that she can feel them sometimes in someone's dream, as if a message was being relayed to the person dreaming.... she thought my dreams were just simple fear manifesting in my mind as I slept, but I can't help but thinking of the dreams as a warning." Kakushin leaned over to Ru, placing a hand on his shoulder, circling it in a comforting manner. "I'd say you shouldn't fear your dreams, but don't forget them either."

Ru listened intensely to everything Kaku was saying... It seemed he had experience with bad dreams himself. But he took all the information in, hoping it would calm him... It did not. "I don't want to fear the dream, but I can feel ghost pains from what I saw... Like, I know how it felt, and yet I know for a fact I've never been in that situation, and never thought I would ever dream it up." Ru shivered at the thought of what he saw... It truly felt real, and Ru couldn't comprehend why. "Anyways, you seem to know a lot about it... Anything on your mind?" Ru didn't want the load to be taken of, of him and given to Kaku, but at the same time he knew talking about his dream any longer would make him hide into himself as to not return, so he wanted to help Kaku with any thoughts instead. Ru moved to hug Kaku, needing the comfort, his dream really did shake him up, which was saying a lot considering it was Ru... Then again, seeing how Kaku was mentioned within it was more frightening then anything... As Rurushu couldn't work out what happened to him.

Kaku hummed, Rurushu's case sounded like a weird one. And if anyone knew what it meant, Yume would. Perhaps Kaku would have to remember to scout the old friend out at some point to her examine Ru's case. Plus she was crazy enough to not see anything between the Angel and Outlaw, or really care that Kaku was breaking any Angelic laws. Kaku pursed his lip, he wouldn't hide his own experiences from Ru, despite how much they'd tormented Kakushin in the past. He knew now that the best way to deal with things troubling him was to be open about them. Kaku smiled after the hug, keeping his expression in higher spirits than his mind was. "There's always something on my mind," Kaku replied, an almost self-loathing tone to the jest, "but ever since I lost Itamu I've been haunted by the fears of losing those I cared for. It's always the same nightmare, over and over again. In which I'm forced to watch as those I love suffer and die, and when I try to help them, I also end up dying." The Angel dropped his eyes, "Yume told me it's all just due to post-traumatic stress from when Itamu died, but it's still going on now... worst of all is that you're in it too now." Kaku tried smiling, but ended up simply buried into Ru's shoulder. "That's my reason for keeping sleep away, for as long as I can."

Ru gave a small smile to Kaku, he had no idea the other was dreaming such things, and Ru felt a little bad for now making it worse. But in all, it made Ru respect the other so much more. "Im sorry, I had no idea... Its probably correct though, what Yume says bout post traumatic stress. But hey, like I said, I promise you wont lose me... And hey, ever want to get some uninterrupted sleep, come find me and I will keep all the bad dreams away... As long as your in my arms right?" Ru couldn't help but believe every thing that just came out his mouth way cheesy, but it was worth it if it made Kaku smile. Ru leaned into Kaku to give him a passion filled kiss, he hoped it may calm him down as to help him get some better sleep. "Go back to sleep love. I wont let you go, and we can talk a little more once your awake again. You deserve some peaceful sleep."

Kaku shook his head. Ru had no reason to be sorry, his dream sounded just as bad. If not worst, because from Kaku gathers, it was neither here nor there, and so remained mysterious as well as freighting. "I hope it is... there are days when I think it's more, like I'm trying to tell myself something." Kaku sighed, closing his eyes to make sure he wouldn't tear up like he did before when thinking of losing his Demon. "Thanks, I'll hold you to that promise, and I don't know if I could sleep again, but knowing your still here is enough to tempt me." Kaku sighed, turning into a yawn, before catching Ru as he leant in. The kiss was enough to prove Ru's point, and Kaku tried to remember every detail as he felt himself become more weighed down. The Angel leaned into Ru's side, slowly giving in. "Fine, but the moment you need something, wake me up." The Angel finally said, holding onto one of Rurushu's hands. He glanced to it, hoping he could hold on all the way into sleep, reminding himself that he couldn't be alone so long as the Outlaw was with him.

Ru gave a small smile to Kaku before holding him close. "Whether it is you trying to tell yourself something, or whether its the stress, one may never know, but either way you can learn from it and try to change it, I mean if you know what's going on then you can think of happier things to counteract the bad right?" Ru sighed as Kaku kissed back, and gave a slight chuckle when he finally gave it. It was what he was hoping for, Ru seriously didn't wish to keep Kaku up, not when knowing the other was so close to sleep. "Don't worry love... I ain't going anywhere, nor am I going to attempt cooking again, im just going to sit here hold you in my arms and keep the fire going until you awaken." Ru gripped Kaku's hand tighter, a sign showing he wont let go, not now, not ever, and then he watched as Kaku began to fall asleep, he really did look like the Guardian of peace as he slept, Ru kept his gaze on Kaku the entire time, occasionally glancing to the fire and adding more wood as it was needed, otherwise his vision was just his love.
