[ 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.
[ that kidnapping meme where the kidnapper says i'm not going to touch you and they're like WHY ]
but fine! they aren't going to get to sleep any sooner the more that raf acts up (tobari started it) so he'll literally just reach out to wrap his arm around rafayel's middle and drag him closer until they practically collide.
except the scolding and harassment is just going to be tobari nipping at the outer shell of raf's ear—not anywhere near the earlobe that just got pierced because he doesn't want to actually hurt him that bad. but. ]
[ there's an undignified sound at him suddenly being pulled into tobari's arms. even if this is exactly what he wanted, that doesn't mean he expects it so easily? he seems genuinely confused for a second as their bodies meet, and he can't help but to instinctively jerk around a little. ]
I told you the ears are sensitive... [ his face feels hot, and just when he's calmed down.
he inhales and exhales deeply, before grabbing hold of tobari's arm and giving it a light squeeze. ]
I'm serious. You're tired, so we should call it a night.
tobari will just huff, still somewhere between amused and irritated, ignoring rafayel to instead press their mouths together again in a kiss. and then he bites his bottom lip. hard. ]
I’m not trying to get in your pants, you idiot, I’m scolding you.
[ if raf is an m about it that’s not tobari’s fault ]
[ at first, he's about to lean into the kiss. he can't resist even when he knows it's an obvious trap. you know, like when tobari bites his lip. as much as he wants to pout and rub his head in tobari's chest, he holds himself back.
instead, he pulls out of tobari's hold. this time, he tries to get on top of him. ] Then, does this mean it's my turn?
[ why would the one getting scolded get a turn... who knows. ]
so tobari will let rafayel get on top of him because he’s not going to wrestle him in the middle of the night, but he’s still not going to make it easy. his hand falls to raf’s waist anyway to steady him, but he’ll lean up to once again press his mouth where raf’s neck meets his shoulder. and he bites him. again.
tobari complains and then he does all of this?? which is why rafayel is also conflicted over what he wants. on one hand, he's competitive and thinks he can fight to top (give him the freedom to think what he wants), and on the other... he's trying so hard to be good and go to bed?
when tobari bites his shoulder, rafayel pushes firmly against his chest. he inhales tightly through his teeth as he tries not to give tobari the satisfaction of a reaction. ] Is this revenge for earlier? If you want to go to bed, stop resisting.
[ he's on a mission and biting isn't going to stop him!!! ]
[ tobari: i'm scolding you rafayel: unfortunately i'm into that ]
Resisting? What the hell are you planning?
[ HE'S SO UNTRUSTING ]
What would I be scolding you for if not earlier? [ he endures the push against his chest, but he's also seizing rafayel's hand afterward. his nails dig into the back of raf's hand just a little bit. ] You're the one who can't make up your mind.
[ leans up to nip at raf's jaw again, residually annoyed ]
But you can only make trouble for me. Not anyone else.
