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. ]
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. ]
[ 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 ]
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
[ tobari only survives on four hours of sleep this is how he still wakes up in time to deliver suzune's pastries in the morning. i guess he'll let rafayel sleep in. is this doting?
but also, with a pretty heavy hand of disbelief: ] When did you try to give me an out?
[ YOU JUST BIT HIS PALM.... regardless, tobari lets himself be stilled—he's not the type to be pushy. however. he also knows that rafayel is a fucking liar who loves to be chased. and so he pulls back after he makes a sufficiently dark mark and let his face hover so tantalizingly close to rafayel's ]
I'll let you escape if you want it. But you should be honest. If you want more, I can give you more.
[ stop... let him come. he can be passed out in the passenger seat.
did tobari learn to drive in bostco parking lot? it's a mystery. ]
I gave you an obvious one? [ he didn't try jumping on him immediately so that should count for something. even now, he's doing a fairly poor job at holding back, and it's clear by the flush of his skin and the elevated heart rate. when tobari lingers in close, it makes it so hard for rafayel not to pull him in closer for another kiss.
there's clear, almost pained deliberation, before he reaches over and tries to grab his phone.
is it really to call the police, or is he genuinely trying to prepare for their trip in earnest. i guess i could roll the dice ]
[ tobari in an au can probably drive but tobari in itehari probably couldn't afford a car. rafayel just in the passengers seat with an eyemask and suzune is still more excited to see him than tobari who has brought her sweets
rafayel reaches for his phone—and tobari's hand darts out to instead catch his hand, intertwining their fingers and pinning rafayel's hand right by the side of his head. caught. his eyes twinkle with just a bit of mischief, not unlike a (curse word) cat that's caught its prey
and then he lets go, laughing to himself ]
Just kidding.
[ he'll let rafayel actually reach for his phone, pulling back and letting him have space again. ]
Whatever you're getting your phone for, can you at least do it in bed?
[ you're right, they're all safe in the au... but, cute. he really would be wearing an actual eye mask, or using a book to block the sun. but, is that truly the focus right now when tobari is only further digging his grave.
to be honest, he isn't sure what he's thinking.
but, if he really want to get sleep tonight, he might need some drastic measures...
he just knows it becomes harder to pull away from tobari. even more when he pins his hands down and he can already feel heat rising from his abdomen. thankfully, tobari does relinquish his hold, and so he can see rafayel is literally calling the emergency number. from the speaker phone, tobari can definitely hear: "emergency services, what's your emergency— ] Yeah, like someone is in the living room trying to take advantage of me.
What? You didn't hear me? I'm saying someone is trying to take advantage of me? They come in here everyday and demand that I don't sleep. They even poked a hole in my ears. [ tobari... you can end this now.
just for dramatic flair: ] Woe is me...
[ the person on the other line is silent for a moment, before dutifully asking, "are you in a safe place?" ]
she doesn't even seem very daunted when tobari answers in response and tries to hang up, while rafayel tries to keep the phone from tobari's reach. ] This is a real life problem! [ why are they doing this also very late at night already... ]
he will let tobari hang up this time. who knows if they will send an ambulance, anyway? does his call even show up on their system as being connected to gps? ] So rude... I'm going to have to tell Suzune on you. [ says the person who would call the cops on his boyfriend to prove a point...
[ at what cost... do they fight the sex game premise.
still, rafayel doesn't show any real hint of abashment. instead, he's smiling a little at tobari's obvious irritation. ] Forced is a litte extreme. [ is it? but, that said, he is turning off the lights, and also finally making his way into bed. ]
[ who voluntarily works the night shift, rafayel... it is so bad for your circadian rhythm and long term health... tobari shoots him another annoyed look as he settles into bed ]
And if I was?
[
he's not because rafayel was already gone for multiple days but also he's grouchy enough that he does not immediately open himself up for cuddles. stay on your side of the bed you headache ]
[ maybe her... we cannot pretend to know her circumstances...
after all, are they both not awake here? still, he is cautiously lifting the comforter to test the waters. tobari isn't pushing him off, is he? when it seems like he isn't, rafayel is getting under neath the sheets to gently place his knee on tobari's side of the bed. ] ...?
[ THE INTENSE POUTING ENERGY OF THIS ICON OH RAFAYEL YOU ARE SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but no he's not coming closer because tobari is an awful terrible person. he's making himself comfortable, pressing his face into his own pillow and wrapping his arms around it. no room for additional hugs at this time.
he opens one eye at raf and raises a brow. ]
Weren't you trying to get some sleep? Can't have you getting harassed against your will again.
even if he has zero rights to. when he hears the rustling, he does end up turning his peripherals over to him... only to be disappointed when tobari is still on his side of the bed. so he does the only reasonable thing, and he throws a fit of his own. he lets tobari's question linger for a second, going unanswered.
when he feels like it's been long enough, he eventually says: ] Like you even want to harass me.
