Anything. It's fine if it takes time, or there's things you don't feel like sharing. [ maybe the ocean has secrets? or rafayel does? either way ] ... but I haven't gotten the chance to see one.
Nah, it's nothing like that. It's just really vast. I've heard some people like to compare the ocean as something calm and placid, while others like to think of it as dangerous and unpredictable. To be honest, I think it's both, but as harsh as it can be...
It's a beautiful place. I think you'd like it. [ ... ] As for my favorite part, maybe just what it ends up representing, you know? It feels like home.
[ while tobari and rafayel are having this nice conversation, hak aims his pillow princess grenade launcher at rafayel. i have decided there are two pillows left after they misfired at each other in the hotel.
with a roll of 16, he fires at rafayel.
oh yeah i forgot to include the description: They find sitting in the center is a 40MM Milkor MGL, a light-weight, six-shot grenade launcher. What it shoots for ammunition, however... are mini pillows. Six of them are arranged on the tray. Each one explodes into a cloud of romance. Those caught in the cloud will be more susceptible for a short while to flirting, hugging, kissing, or touching.
[ i like how hak just went full unhinged gremlin on rafayel and poor tobari who has literally committed no crimes. rafayel, enjoying the conversation about the ocean is now struck by the certified board-approved pillow princess grenade launcher—
he's coughing, wheezing, and trying to crawl out of this cloud of romance, but to not avail.
i guess from the blast he lands on top of tobari. sorry dana ]
[ okay well tobari has committed a couple crimes. when he hears the boom of a GRENADE LAUNCHER he does reach for his gun to fire back but that's fucking stupid it's time to just get hit by a pillow ]
What the fuck?!
[ REAL QUESTIONS
but also even without being affected by the romance cloud tobari would default to trying to catch rafayel so he doesn't hit the ground too hard, cushioning his fall. IT'S STILL A FALL. but jesus ]
[ the idea of a real gun fight started by a pillow launcher is really funny, but thankfully hak lives another day much to val's dismay.
but, oh... rafayel doesn't expect strong arms to catch him...
is this his missmister bodyguard? ] Yeah, I'm... [ actually, since he's already here... he does rub against tobari, just a little. ] I don't know. I might be hurt. [ this is how he flirts, i'm sorry... maybe you really did think too highly of him. ]
also i would love to see tokinaga flirt like this. the way that tobari just assumed that raf would flirt in a kind of annoying way and he was right. the issue at hand is that he is, by default, a caring person so even with the romance cloud affecting his judgment, he will automatically shift to accommodate raf's weight on top of him and tilt his head to see if he can get a better look ]
the same way tokinaga should probably not flirt like this. when tobari shows clear interest in his fake injuries, rafayel can't help the way the corner of his lips upturn just slightly. though, he seems to be fighting with forced dramatics. ] I think here... [ he also uses one arm to hold himself up, as he uses his other to guide tobari's hand over to where the first button of his shirt is. ]
I think around here. I might need a thorough inspection, though.
but, well. it's not like tobari's slow on the uptake. there's a moment of surprise, barely there, before his expression settles into something amused. he lets his thumb brush against the button, idle, before he moves to flip them so raf's on his back instead. no injuries? then it's fine. ]
If you want my attention, you could just say so.
[ but he'll continue with the """inspection""" anyway, undoing raf's top button without hesitation ]
[ STOP... we agreed they are both sinless, this is vak's fault
the sudden role reversal definitely shocks him, and yet it becomes increasingly clear that he's enjoying every second of it. as much as he likes to take the lead, he also likes a bit of competition. it's why his eyes excitedly follow tobari's hand, and the way they unbutton him with practiced fluidity (not saying he's a ho)— ]
Are you saying you only give it when I ask? Because I thought I had other ways of stealing it.
[ he leans in and ... uses his teeth to try and pull tobari's top lower. ]
i really don't think this is a game or chicken but i guess i could be wrong
[ okay he's not a ho but it is practiced fluidity this isn't the first set of buttons he's ever undone. i wrote set but it's technically one, but i guess it can now be two?
the way that it's otome clothes so there's probably a buckle to hold his haori in place, but the fabric of his actual outfit can be moved—though it just reveals more of the black lines of his tattoo. he huffs out an amused breath, and his hand will leave raf's chest after undoing a third button, instead coming to cup his jaw ]
[ the buckle just makes it sound like cosplay... hot glues it back onto tobari's body.
unfortunately for rafayel, he's still locked into undressing tobari. of feeling his teeth brush against his skin, and his tongue just lightly trace the areas in which are exposed. maybe it's because he's been envisioning this day for so long that he feels a little impatient. while he isn't thinking of his past, or even who he's persevered for— he is thinking of whatever this is. ... and it doesn't take a whole lot of provocation to get him going.
instead of responding, he leans upwards and presses his lips against tobari's. it's a little clumsy, as if he were in a rush to kiss him. ]
also bijou where is this thread happening why do i have to ask both you and ly this
regardless, the clumsiness is charming. the rush—and it takes about half a second for tobari to recognize what's happening, tilting his head to catch rafayel's mouth at a better angle. he reciprocates the kiss with ease, following up with a second, third, as if that'll be enough to soothe whatever wave of feelings his partner is going through. to his core, he can't help being a considerate person—and that extends to matters of intimacy.
shrugging out of the fabric is easy, his hand coming up to rest at rafayel's cheek is easier. soft reassurances against his mouth: ]
Not bad. Now let me get you.
[ almost as reward, he'll deepen the kiss between them, his free hand going to finish undoing that trail of buttons on raf's shirt. ]
[ this is a great question... maybe it really should have been in the hotel lobby instead of the streets.
is it too late to change the setting now.
there's a strange sensation that builds at the put of his stomach when he feels the kiss returned with equal passion. it feels nice to share warmth like this, even nicer to taste the other man on the tip of his tongue. when he deepens the kiss, he grips onto the fabric of tobari's haori. even between such a heated kiss, he still finds himself giving a small huff of laughter. ] Is this how you're getting me? If this was the reward, I would have tried to be a good, honest boy sooner.
[ but, being annoying aside, he does go back to giving him another sloppy kiss. he sucks on his lower lip, before giving it a slight nip.
the fact that he's temporarily suspended his efforts to strip him... sad horny (real) ]
do you think hak would've just grenaded them while they were in the hotel lobby. i feel like it's possible. either way they should probably get up from the ground instead of just making out there? this is killing me
tobari's seen worse though, even though it's been a while since he's gotten worked up to also partake in a semi-public setting. right now, it's so hard to find his semblance of reason or shame? instead, it's so much easier to meet rafayel for that kiss, making a small noise in the back of his throat at the nip. when he pulls back, it's not that fair at all, but he'll breathe out a taunt of his own ]
If you want a proper reward, you could always ask nicely for it. I'll give it to you.
[ i feel like anything is possible with an unruly teenager... the real question is if soo-won would still approve.
when you're both freaks from otome... but, rafayel isn't any different. once the flames are fanned, he has a difficult time putting a damper on his own physical needs. maybe it's a sign of repression, or the sheer feeling of desire that settles in his gut. the sounds tobari makes also make him feel kinda... he moves his hips upwards just a little, enough to grind his body against tobari before he leans back in to kiss him, almost fervently, like he was purposely trying to stop tobari from talking.
he angles his head to try and taste him deeper, as he tries to swallow down every last bit of the saliva they exchange. idk he's a fish, he needs water ... and stimulation. anyway, now he's kind of sobering up to feel embarrassed, and... ]
Can't you see I'm busy?
[ did anyone ever find out what they mean ]
because? you were on a flight? is that not reason enough?
[ soo-won would find it a bit more embarrassing but overall still funny... hak can do anything...
HE'S A FISH HE NEEDS WATER okay thirsty king
feeling embarrassed is so funny and cute, though. i don't think embarrassment is an emotion that tobari is capable of feeling anymore. rather, he's the type to find his own enjoyment in causing fluster in others. that's his real catnip. so instead of answering raf, he occupies his mouth with a kiss instead, scorching and deep. his hand resumes its previous journey, undoing the rest of whatever buttons remain, letting his hand splay hungrily on bare skin before trailing lower. when he pulls back just barely enough to speak— ]
I can keep you busier. Might be more comfortable to move to a room, though.
feeling this way feels oddly... vulnerable but, at the same time, he doesn't hate being the focus of tobari's gaze, or his hands. everywhere he touches feels hot, and leaves his mouth feeling dry. when they pull apart, it's enough for him to catch his breath. ] A room with you sounds like it'd be dangerous.
I mean, you're looking at me like I'm your seafood buffet. [ this accusation when he was just rubbing up against tobari is diabolical, but he does seem to listen. he places his hands on tobari's waist as if to direct him up. ]
i had this open in a tab and then proceeded to lose it
[ but he'll take the direction, moving to get up shortly afterward. except he's also going to take rafayel's hands in his own, pulling him to his feet as well. it's a little automatic how his thumb brushes against the back of rafayel's hand affectionately before tobari glances to find the next available room.
maybe it's been a while since he made out with someone so openly in public (s. sort of.) but he's still too practiced in the art of taking someone somewhere more private anyway, ]
[ when he feels his weight shift from off the floor and onto his feet, he staggers just a little. enough to brush his chest against tobari's, before he falls into step with him. ] Can't it be both? If I can add another one to it—
Do you always walk this slow?
[ he says as he's still trailing beside tobari, matching his pace in spite of his words. are these doors just meant to open, rafayel doesn't really care as he pushes against the nearest door. it's locked. ... he turns back to tobari. this is sad horny x2. ]
