[ ulterior motive? tobari raises a brow, clearly perplexed for a second. considering how much rafayel seemed to want this, it felt a little inevitable that he would eventually give in.
but he supposes he might as well seize the opportunity, ]
I’m sure I could come up with one.
[ and he’ll turn to let his own arms wrap around rafayel’s waist, pulling him closer until their bodies are flush again. tobari leans his head in closer, near enough to kiss ]
[ his eyes briefly glance towards the arm around his waist before he looks back up at tobari with a smile. ]
What, suddenly struck by inspiration?
[ he leans in just enough for his lips to brush against his skin. it's light, just enough where it's hard to distinguish if it's a kiss, or just his breath tickling him. ]
[ even if this probably isn't the first time he's been jealous.
but, at the nip, he ends up reaching a hand up to cover his ear. even if the gesture and tobari's words do make him happy, now that he's started this argument... he can't just end it. ]
[ at the grab, he gives a soft grumble. he's not actually bothered, but he's definitely playing up looking like he is. he's about to defiantly purse his lips together before he ends up stopping midway at the sudden inquiry.
he blinks a few times, surprised.
... ] That depends.
[ despite saying that, he does untangle himself from tobari's grip momentarily. he heads off to a closet off in the corner of a room, and returns without a word. he grabs tobari's hand and places a needle in the center of it. ]
Of course not, but it's already been an eventful evening.
[ rafayel got home a few hours ago and then he was induced into heat for two hours and they were planning a daycation and now it's come to this. well at least it's never boring in their home.
tobari will still move the needle to his fingers, because of course he knows how to do this at home. it's the exact type of rebellious insane thing he'd get up to his in teenage years ]
[ not the youthful stamina. at least tobari does stay up insanely late by default but still ]
You'd pout about it because I wanted to leave it to morning.
[ that's what'd happen. still, it's not incorrect—tobari trusts rafayel so completely that he's not even entertaining the tease. sometimes two extremely devoted people are in a relationship with each other.
still, he'll move to get up ]
Let me at least sterilize this properly since I don't know where you picked it up from.
[ but sure, he will unfortunately pierce rafayel's ears in the middle of the night in a show of possessiveness, why not ]
that said, when tobari does move to get up, rafayel's eyes follow him momentarily. for a second, he isn't sure if he's simply walking to bed, or...? ] Oh? You're actually listening? Guess there's a first for everything.
[ fortunately, his bathroom is pretty well-stocked. it kind of had to be, especially because it's not like rafayel could just go to the hospital... outside of paying for tobari's medical bills and checking himself in for attention. ]
I don't know... They say it only takes one time. Sounds like the gateway to addiction for me.
[ though, by his standards he's already addicted to tobari. ]
So I should deny you more consistently? For your own well-being.
[ can you stop paying for his medical bills. can't we all just have good healthcare. but tobari will at least go through the process of getting the necessities to disinfect the needle, heating it up and letting it cool down and then wiping it off with the alcohol wipes on top of that. when he comes back, he'll gesture for rafayel to sit closer to him ]
C'mere. [ he'll move in closer himself, getting into the proper position to stick a needle through his beloved's ear. this is romance. ] It'll be a little pinch but... tell me more about where we're going tomorrow.
[ he's going to do the thing where he tries to distract raf before he actually just does the piercing. he at least has a steady, practiced hand about it ]
but, no... not allowed. tobari must live in this sex game premise without him realizing it is one. or he does, and everyone else just thinks he doesn't. i forgot what the plot was. i just know this isn't omgeaverse because clearly i don't know enough about it...
more importantly, rafayel does diligently sit where he's directed. there's no apprehension on his part, and he seems calm even when he's about to have a needle stuck into his self-proclaimed very sensitive ears. then again, tobari might notice he had what appears to be scar tissue behind his ears. maybe from this gills? fins? i have no idea what they are because i will not buy into mermaid propaganda. ]
If it hurts, just know you'll owe me an extra hour of compensation.
[ he's not joking. ] There's a really nice path in the beginning with a lot of flowers. You know, the greenhouse I donate to, they moved some of their flowers around the base of that mountain— Ow, ow, ow—
[ wait, did tobari pierce him yet... he needs to time his act. ]
[ YOU DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT OMEGAVERSE but raf has heat cycles and gets triggered into it anyway........ fish are so wild in lads
hm... he's admittedly slightly curious about the scar tissue. he lets it distract him enough to briefly press a kiss there just to see what kind of reaction he'd get
except raf is being a huge baby before he even does anything. he might've just lightly grabbed his earlobe to try to get into place but now he's rolling his eyes ]
Can you get it together.
[ he says this but his method of shutting raf up is to give him a kiss anyway. this is a lazy's man method. ]
[ STOP!!!! it's not just fish... looks at sylus and whatever everyone else's problems are
who knows if his yelps were also to distract from the scars that tobari ends up kissing. maybe rafayel could have enjoyed it more... if he didn't choose to be dramatic instead. you win some, you lose some. ]
I think I could if you were a little more gentle. You shouldn't forget to blow on my booboos— [ this is the baby talk tobari signed up for, just remember this. but, thankfully he gets distracted by the kiss. he returns it, except maybe it flips his switch a little because he's angling his head just slightly. ]
[ this icon is so cute...... rafayel is so cute........
tobari signed up for this baby talk but he does, as a matter of fact, tend to just ignore some of the shit rafayel says just to annoy him. it's easier when he shuts up with the kiss and tobari entertains the idea of maybe if they hook up again then he won't need to commit to this ear piercing in the middle of the night... but also he doesn't want to deal with another shower.
so instead he'll just lightly bite at rafayel's bottom lip, sharp and scolding, before he pulls away. ]
I can kiss it better but you need to actually let me get the piercing done first.
[ but he'll move to get into place again... this time he will go through with the jab, quick and clinical, so rafayel can properly get his whiny baby noises out. ]
[ not tobari debating which is more or less trouble...
that said, he does end up holding back. when he feels teeth against his lower lip, he does release a soft sound from the back of his throat, half in pleasure, maybe mildly in complaint as he looks at tobari like an abandoned shelter pet. despite the way his eyes remain focused on tobari, he does end up shifting gears easily enough. ]
Oookay... [ and in spite of the previous need to vocalize his "pain," he does remain oddly quiet. he allows tobari to diligently pierce his ear, before he gives a soft exhale. there's a slight heat he feels in his ears, and he isn't sure if it's from the lingering heat of their kiss, or the residual pain.
but, even that pain could feel addicting knowing it's from him. ]
tobari is careful and practiced as he moves the needle, replacing it quickly with a simple stud earring. he’s gentle when he places the backing to keep it in place, and true to his word, he does place a kiss just beneath rafayel’s ear before he pulls back. ]
Is there any doubt that it’d look good? Turn so I can get the other side.
[ he doesn't know why that makes him feel happy already.
you know, aside from the promise tobari keeps. in light of this, rafayel does remain oddly obedient. he turns his head just slightly. he does peek at tobari from the corner of his eyes as he watches him do the next hole. ]
[ tobari huffs out an amused breath—and when rafayel glances at him, he'll probably notice that yes there's an empty slot where there's normally a quartet of piercings on the shell of tobari's ear. it's a simple set of studs with a blue gem in the center—unassuming but elegant. ]
Doesn't it just make sense for you to wear something of mine?
[ and with another quick motion, he'll do the second piercing. the matching stud goes right on rafayel's ear, and tobari lets his fingers linger for just a second, admiring. once again for balance, he'll place a kiss beneath rafayel's ear—
and because he's truly not immune to his own occasional show of possessiveness, he'll claim rafayel's mouth in another kiss to follow, searing with intensity. sure. that's one way to kiss it better. ]

Over nothing? [ record scratch. ] You thought that was nothing?

I’ve been yours too, you idiot.

Hey, a fish's ears are sensitive, you know.
no subject
[ but okay
he grabs rafayel’s face in his hand and tries to forcibly (but not painfully) turn his head so tobari can look at his other ear. bullying. ]
So if I asked you to pierce them for me, you’d say no?
