[ ryuu's affections are pliant even without the sweet scent caressing across his judgment. simplicity works best for him, the blue moon only going so far as to smooth out the timid parts and then bare the natural passion beneath. you don't have to lure the willing.
or so his heart tells him, strong, deep thumps of it sounding beneath wataru's fingers.
that's how it feels still, lips giving a perfect quirk up into the kisses - two, three, four. ryuu would be content to lose count, he thinks, pushing the boundary of the gesture with that same softness. that single noise wataru made sticks in his ears as if it'd been louder than it actually was, and ryuu gives a gentle press of tongue against his lips in pursuit of it. ]
[He doesn't expect Ryuu to be the one to move things forward. He honestly half expects that they'll sit like this, a few fluttering kisses between them, and maybe settle in to cuddle a bit, his desires forgotten in the warmth of Ryuu's arms. But then there's Ryuu's tongue on his lips, and he feels the need surge up.
Shifting, he turns more toward his companion, fingers splayed on his chest, over his heart. A whimper falls from his throat as he parts his lips, as he curves those fingers like he wants nothing more than to get closer.
It's still such a small, budding thing. His free hand moves up to caress Ryuu's jaw, coaxing more out of him. Asking politely.]
[ if wataru's presence wasn't so captivating, it would have been enough for ryuu to stay comfortable with that familiar plateau. but he feels a great deal of need to rise to the occasion too, to be worthy of his company, his wants. and deep down, the otherwise barrenness of the apartment makes him want to warm the air and draw his presence in closer, if he can. not even the lunar spike in his blood can make him forget about that.
he takes that sound in when prompted by the warm, silky touch moving across his jaw, continuing the kiss with a a deeper stroke of his tongue. ryuu is still measured and exploratory, like he's trying to keep his heart from going too wild too fast in his chest - he's still the one with the least experience, he's sure.
that doesn't stop him from leaning in and slipping an arm around his waist, ready to tug at any moment. the kiss breaks with a soft huff before it goes too far. ]
Not too much...?
[ is he great or terrible at being seduced, it is a mystery. ]
[Even if Wataru has more experience, it's only by virtue of being here. It's only because of this, and really because of Eichi. At home, he's a solitary creature, far more than he wants to be. But he'll graduate soon, and it'll all be fine. Well, if he ever goes back.
Here, he just wants, like he's famished, like he'll waste away without affection. He returns the kiss, effectively following Ryuu's lead, not rushing things ahead. This feels warm and lovely, and he likes it. Just... that arm around him sends a jolt of more need through him, and he gasps softly against Ryuu's lips before diving back into the kiss and--
Ryuu breaks away. Wataru's eyes fly open, and he looks up at Ryuu with concern, like he's so afraid he's done something worth being rejected over.]
Please... I... more...?
[He can't even find his words, and his eyes are violet saucers, so worried he's done something wrong.]
[ it's nothing so bad, and the immediate reaction to how he'd pulled back such a scant distance has his breath catching. it's quick and quiet, easy enough to miss. but it quickly colors his understanding. wataru's acting like he's going to snatch his attention away and never return it, even if they're still so close, even if he'd smiled and worried if he was doing alright. ryuu feels his chest clench.
shoulders dropping some, he takes that simple command to heart. it's with a much gentler expression that he returns to what he was doing, obliging him with another brush of his nose to his cheek, another kiss. ]
...ah, okay.
[ it's okay is more what he meant, but his kisses can convey that, if he tries. if he tightens his arm a bit more, if he leans his weight into it just right. ]
[The relief that floods Wataru when Ryuu initiates contact with his cheek again is palpable, and his body melts against Ryuu's as his fingers grip the older man's shirt. He sighs happily, eyes closing again, indulgently leaning into the strong grip of the arm around him. He doesn't want to be teased or tricked or feel like he's about to be abandoned. He wants genuine affection. It may have been shallowly sought, but it's so warmly given that Wataru can't stand the thought of losing it.
He turns his head and nuzzles in close, capturing Ryuu's lips in a slow, deliberate kiss that says, without words, stay.]
[ that's a much better reaction, he thinks. enough to find comfort in, to gain confidence from. how much of this is actually the sinless's influence on cordis's natural draw is anyone's guess, now. as it is, it seems like this is just as much ryuu as it is the sweet scent that's gotten all up into his head. he's solid and dependable even in new territory, giving his jaw a nice tilt into the kiss, letting it play out. slow at first, unhurried as if responding to what wataru's wordlessly seeking.
but he reclaims that depth after a moment with a curl of his tongue. soon, his other arm joins the first in circling about his waist and then ryuu's shifting higher up on the couch to more comfortably face him. even resting his arms so low on the younger man's body, he can feel the locks and strands of his long hair tickle his skin.
he breathes out, around the kisses, in the shape of a smile. in spite of a lot of things and many more circumstances, he really does enjoy kissing. ]
[He turns into the evolving hold, nearly climbing onto Ryuu's lap, thinking better of it at the last second. It wouldn't be right to push him so hard; he seems too gentle for that. He honestly feels, now that the wiles of his captors are wearing off, that he made a mistake in thinking to seduce Ryuu in the first place. He'd much rather kiss him for hours, feeling the warmth generated between them and caring nothing for the rest of the world for just a little while.
Their kiss is so gentle and sweet, their heads tilted ever so slightly, their tongues meeting and retreating, a little soft play that doesn't go anywhere. Not that it needs to. Wataru is just enjoying the companionship, and enjoying feeling like he can do something for Ryuu, too. What he misses about acting, the thrill of discovering himself, he can find here. They merely let things amble along. It's so ridiculous, he knows, that his heart is pounding and his head feels light and dizzy. He actually huffs a little laugh into the kiss before threading fingers up into Ryuu's soft brown hair.]
[ ryuu is there to capture that laugh against his parted lips, tilting right into the curling of fingers through his hair. he breathes a short sigh, gaze flickering. ]
Is something the matter...?
[ he hopes not, and it doesn't seem so, but ryuu thinks to check, even when they're sharing space like this. idly, his thumb draws over the arch of wataru's back, pleasant little back and forth motions that might not go anywhere either, but feel as nice to give as they do to receive, he's sure. he traces the divot of his spine a short way, thumb catching on wisps of his hair. ]
[He can't help another little giggle, nuzzling up against Ryuu's cheek. His fingers massage small circles against Ryuu's head. Peppering his cheek and the corners of his lips with kisses, Wataru practically exudes warmth. He's content. He's glad they're here. He wants more and more but he won't ask for it. Not yet.]
You're just... very good at kissing me, Dragon-san.
[ even while in the very act of it, return kisses measured out by a gentle rhythm, simple and sweet, he feels his face color at the compliment. he breathes a laugh, scalp all tingly with the motions of wataru's fingers. ryuu really loves that sensation, though he's managing to be shy about in spite of the little bit of boldness that lead them to this point.
but he enjoys it, getting used to this, having his affections met. wanted. ]
I'm glad you think so. I'm still pretty new at it...
Mm... so am I. Aside from stage kisses, of course.
[He laughs softly, his shoulders shaking delicately as he does so. His fingers trail down to the back of Ryuu's neck, stroking at his hairline.]
Isn't it nicer to kiss someone you like?
[A sigh.]
Oh, don't think me too bold for saying that! I usually decide whether I like people or not the very first time I meet them. It's a secret, just how much.
Acting? [ head canting in curiosity, he bumps noses. he's still a bit clumsy with presenting himself, but he's not trying to cover for it. ] Or fanservice?
[ funny, how he distinguishes between the two. his thumb gives an idle tap against the small of wataru's back. ]
Either way, it's impossible to think of that as anything but bold! But it just means you have a strong heart... "how much" makes it seem a bit mysterious too, though.
Acting, of course! [A little laugh, and he wrinkles his nose cutely.] fine isn't that kind of unit! Even if it was I'd never be able to do that with anyone but one of my unitmates, and he's... Ah, well. He's Eichi. He'd never stop if we started doing that!
[Not that he's opposed.]
Well, some people make a very strong first impression, and I just want to fall into their arms like this. You're one of those, Dragon-san. Doctor-san was the same way, too. And Eichi, though he was the most difficult to pull myself to. Why, I wonder, am I surrounded by such extraordinary men?
[ what a scrunchy expression on such a striking face. he laughs, leaning into it. ]
- ah, it's true that it doesn't match fine's image much, does it? I'm sure there'd be a way, but... it does work best when you leave things to the imagination, haha.
[ not that he meant to get so into work talk! with a pleasant hum, he rests his brow against wataru's. ]
Aren't people whose hearts want the same thing attracted to one another? I don't think it's a matter of extraordinary... or ordinary, for that matter! I'm pretty plain, you know? I thought my heart was going to stop when I saw you.
[ like he'd just step up into the sky like the lanterns, though he's glad he didn't. ]
It's the allure of fine being angels brought to earth that we rely on. And who would want lascivious angels?
[Ryuu's words are sweet, and Wataru's response is just to rub their noses together cutely. Maybe that part isn't one hundred percent Wataru, but if it gets him what he wants, he can bend his own behaviors a little bit. If it gets those hands and lips on him, he's happy with anything.]
You're not plain at all, Dragon-san! [That much is sincere.] I've met worse, to be sure. People so boring, so average that they need a guiding hand or they'll never amount to anything at all! You don't need my tutelage, so you're nothing like that. Still... Don't let someone like me stop your heart. I can't go around killing people just by being handsome.
You'd be surprised! [ a real laugh, measured but still coming from deep in his gut. ryuu tips his head. ] But I've never played an angel.
[ sure enough, the gentle motion is enough of a lure for a light kiss - thoughtful, like the pull of a calm wave. if only he could really be honest about how plain he actually is, about how he'd just been faceted like a jewel dug up out of the ground, grubby and ordinary as the dirt itself. ]
People can surprise you too I think, even the plain ones. Ah, but, it's okay! My heart's tougher than it seems. Though it's pounding a little right now.
[The way the energy flows between them, gentle and constant like waves, isn't lost on Wataru. He wonders if this is what people mean when they say two people have "chemistry". Or maybe it's just the effects he's under. Whatever the case, he's wrapped up in Ryuu right now, and he really does want more.]
Mine is, too.
[He reaches for one of Ryuu's hands and eases it into his open shirt, right over his heart.]
Honestly, you're making me a little giddy. It's harder to breathe, and I don't want to look anywhere else.
[ at the end of the day, moons or no, ryuu is still a pretty shy person. whatever bravery was imparted to him shies back at such a direct touch and makes his cheeks color. (still, he doesn't move his hand away, light as the touch of his palm is.) ]
Having your eyes just on me... [ his fingers curl. ] That makes me a little nervous. But not in a bad way.
[Wataru feels the shyness and lets go of Ryuu's hand with a sheepish smile. Maybe he can tease some boldness out of him.]
I'm not going to force you to do anything. If you want to just sit here quietly, I'll still be happy to have the company. Or you could even leave, if I've kept you too long.
[ lucky for wataru he's criminally easy to tease. instantly, his hand eases back, going into hover mode. only his expression deflates faster - it's almost, almost comical. like a toppled souffle. ]
You didn't! [ a little flex of his fingers in the air. grabby paws. ] I'm sorry! I didn't mean to come across that way...
[He lays an elegant finger over Ryuu's lips, then drags it down slowly until it's resting on his neck.]
I'm just honestly not the sort to take advantage of people, no matter how I feel. Not in this kind of thing, anyway. What should we do, then, Dragon-san? You're quite the fearsome creature in name. Might you show me your fangs? Or should I show you mine?
[ a gesture so simple effectively silences him. it draws a calm down through him too, shoulders sloping. what a virtuous person. ]
I get nervous easily. [ ryuu admits that much, touching his hand to his heart. ] But in that way where it feels like I have something to aspire to. I've gotten to like it a lot...
[ this feeling he's still learning the shape of. ]
[Wataru's standards are insanely high and totally bizarre sometimes, but never truly harmful. And he likes Ryuu. Even if he would like to see him be bolder.]
There's nothing wrong with being nervous, though in a lot of people it doesn't do anything productive. How lucky for you that it does. I'd like to inspire you just as much as that, but with a little more... Amazing☆. For now, would you ask me to be content with what I have, or can I beg for more? Another kiss? Your hands on me? Ah, listen to me, getting carried away. I can't help it. You have a truly gentle soul. It makes me practically ravenous.
[ you can't eat his whole soul, wataru, but you can have a taste. ]
Beg? Ahh, I wouldn't want to make you do that... [ literal. wholesome. literally wholesome. ] Here. Want to get more comfortable first?
[ ryuu's arms slip off of wataru's waist, but it's in the interest of getting into a seat on the couch where neither of them has to twist or lean too much. his lap is prime real estate, at this point. with a tilt of his head to beckon him back over, ryuu smiles. ]
You wanted to climb up here earlier, didn't you? I don't mind.
