Should I have started earlier?

[ 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. ]

Hey, a fish's ears are sensitive, you know.

You’re a pain even if you’re not starting something.

[ 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?

[ body mod possessiveness trades ]

[ 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. ]

[ ok? ]

You were too ready to offer this.

[ raf…………………………… ]

[ he tilts his head. ]

Were you bluffing when you said you wanted to leave your mark on me?

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 ]

You wanna do this tonight?

[ the fact that they're doing this all in one night really is wild...

is this the stamina only youth possesses, or are they both secretly just freaks. ]

If you don't claim me now, who knows what else can happen...

[ or so he says, but nothing could possibly happen. he knows the depths of his own devotion, and he'd hope that tobari knows just as well. ]

[ 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 ]

Excuse me, I don't pout.

[ lol.

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.

[ does he want this piercing or not... ]

Why do I keep having to hear lies tonight?

[ he's probably heading to the bathroom—there's probably alcohol pads back there somewhere, and then he'll go to find a lighter... ]

Anyway, don't get used to it.

[ he says this but he goes along with about 85% of what raf wants anyway ]

[ 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 ]

[ he makes a face at that...

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. ]

How does it look?

[ raf your m is jumping out

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.

[ balance… symmetry… ]

Is that one of your earrings?

[ 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. ]

Wow, this is getting kinda toxic. Should I call the police?

[ clearly a joke. it's obvious by his demeanor, even the way he's biting back an obvious smile, there's no way he doesn't enjoy this. as much as he's possessive over tobari, he can't help but revel in the fact that it's mutual. he loves the idea of being tied down by him. of thinking there's a deeper bond that exists between them...

when he feels the second one go in, he does release a small sound of relief. he does feel the burning of being punctured, but it seems to melt away when he feels the heat from tobari's mouth. it's almost as if conter-acts any inkling of pain there could have been, and so he also returns the kiss. even grabbing the back of tobari's head so that he lean further into it. when his hand draws lower, he settles it on the back of tobari's neck, before he pulls away. ]

I'll have to report this too.

[ even if it comes naturally to tobari to be rather bossy and demanding, it's less in his nature to be so open about his wants. he's the type of person who was grateful for everything that already came his way, to acknowledge his station in life and how it was fortunate that he even ended up in such a good position. despite this, the longer he's been in this relationship with rafayel, he finds that greed comes just a bit easier.

to want someone for himself; to keep them selfishly and intimately. having rafayel wear his earrings after tobari did the piercings with his own two hands—it's a closeness that certainly can't be replicated easily.

while his own desire still doesn't always match up to rafayel's, there's no denying the way that it's grown steadily over time. so after he carefully places the needle aside before it can get lost and unsexily stab either of them by surprise, he'll let his own hand come to rest on rafayel's chest, seeking to feel his heartbeat underneath his palm. a gentle but firm press—encouraging rafayel's back to rest against the nearest surface as tobari follows after, closing the distance between them ]

Then should I add to my list of crimes while I'm at it?

[ a question spoken in the barely there space between their mouths before he claims another kiss. is greed his new sin? ]

[ the fact that they are both extremely honest and dishonest at the same time takes me out so bad. despite how rafayel insists on employing some push and pull to their relationship, it's moments like these that he loses all concept of that completely. plus, it's easier for him to bend a little when tobari remains dutiful and accommodating (you know, outside of the complaints). but the mouth speaks, but the body is honest?

nvm idk why that sounds so bad

if rafayel had to be honest, though... no amount of tobari wanting him would be enough by his standards. even now, he doesn't feel like he's entirely filled up— he feels like his thirst has been inspired, and yet he's being left high and dry. the kisses aren't nearly enough and so he also grabs tobari's hand and squeezes it against his chest, encouraging him to feel against the way it beats erratically.

he parts his own lips and lets his tongue brush against tobari's lower lip. he only pulls away slightly. ] Depends, should I be the one to arrest you instead? [ going to peel tobari's hand off of him so he can gently bite into the heel of his palm. ]

[ me losing it can they just go to bed they have a wholeass hike to a hot springs the next morning. the immediate distraction back to making out is wild

some part of tobari's mind is echoing that same thought—it's pretty impressive to him how they still haven't had enough of each other—but maybe this is just what happens when rafayel is gone for a few days. is this what they call coping?

regardless, he's not daunted—and the bite to his palm just gets him to huff out a breath of a laugh, letting his lips brush against rafayel's jaw instead, mumbling his next statement against skin as he works his way down. ]

You think you can? [ not everything is a challenge!!!! except it is and he will win ] I welcome you to try.

[ even as his teeth and tongue occupy themselves with another task of leaving a love bite on rafayel's neck—thEY'RE GOING TO A HOT SPRING THEY'RE GONNA BE A MESS i hate it here ]

[ CAN THEY REALLY JUST GO TO BED!!!!

even rafayel is debating if he's going to be able to wake up tomorrow, or if sleeping in was inevitable. maybe that's also why he does try and put in some valiant effort into to place a hand on tobari's shoulders, his own way of temporarily giving pause to his movements.

but, with how good it feels... it's probably not very convincing. ]

You... [ he gives a soft huff. ] You know I tried to give you an out. You're going to be tired tomorrow. [ he can't control his own voice though, and his breath hitches at the bite on his neck. he does (weakly) try one more time to push on his shoulder.

stop trying to spark his competitive edge... they can't bang twice in one thread

this really was a sex game all along ]
