You make me want to keep you locked up for myself...
[ but, he also wants to put tobari and his desires first. he'd rather show him the beauty of the remote hotspring than keep him locked up in their private room. he feels like tobari would appreciate that more. besides, it was the perfect season for the flower fields along the way, and while it may not be as untraveled and untouched as it once was, he thinks he may still find this second time more beautiful if just for the company.
honestly, they could be vlogging parking lot reviews and he'd still find it memorable and attractive in its own way. ]
We can always wait until it clears out. The higher up we go, and the deeper we stray off path, there might still not be many people there. [ the feel of tobari's lips on his knuckles is a little ticklish and so he gives a small laugh.
besides, maybe the potential for being walked in on in the middle of nature is kind of the charm. (platonic) ]
[ if rafayel wanted to just have a lazy day together at home, they could’ve done that too? but admittedly the draw and call of hot springs and beautiful sights was too strong…
ALSO IS THAT PLATONIC? IN WHAT WAY IS THAT PLATONIC ]
Mm… alright. [ agreeing, but now also fussing ] Make sure you rest if you need it, though. I feel like you didn’t get enough sleep…
[ he'd like to think that despite his complaints, his stamina isn't entirely shot. but, also, tobari woke up earlier??? he also drove them??? ]
New plan. We get to our rooms, wash up, and take it easy before heading out. That way we can catch part of the sunset? [ but, mostly so tobari might be able to get at least 1-2 hours. besides, how does one live without naps? ]
[ rafayel: so tobari can nap for an hour or two tobari: are we just going to make out the entire time before? ]
I always get less sleep than you...
[ and he doesn't really complain about it... is this why he's so grumpy? do you think if tobari got normal sleep he might just be a happier person? things to think about ]
tobari just grumbles more at that, grabbing rafayel's wrist with his own hand and twisting it away from his face—the movement is sharp, but he doesn't hold tight enough to intentionally hurt at least ]
That was dependent on you not being a pain in the ass.
[ he will take it though because the more they fuss, the higher chance of rafayel tumbling down the fucking mountain...... "what about tobari" he could also fall but who cares about him ]
[ okay, as long as he wins. who is worried about falling off the side of the mountain?
he will take this concession that may have not been one at all... from others who may be watching them from below, they probably looked insane, but rafayel doesn't seem to mind. ] You don't think that came way too fast? [ not refuting himself as being a pain in the ass, but...? that was quick?
but, he does end up brushing his head on tobari's shoulder, like... maybe saying sorry. ]
[ rafayel always has a chance of annoying the hell out of him at any moment... but tobari will at least start to peel the cheese stick into those strings. he lifts a strip up to rafayel's mouth for him to eat, and then feeds one to himself....
he's irritated but still feeds him first........... weak-hearted and stupid ]
[ as his lover, eheh. or so his eyes seem to be saying as he doesn't really make it secret how affectionately he looks at tobari. or... how funny he thinks this situation is. he opens his mouth, but he kisses tobari's fingers before he pulls away to feed himself. ]
I think it tastes even better today. [ he's also surprised tobari isn't complaining about it ruining their appetite... ]
unromantically: ] Well yeah, you hiked first thing after napping. You're probably hungry too.
[ but realistically he's content any time rafayel eats... these are his cheese snacks so it's okay if he has a bite before they chow down on a real meal... ]
[ he's already holding tobari's wrist to make sure he finishes the rest of it. it's not that he wasn't hungry, but he knows that tobari was more accustomed to eating on a schedule, and thanks to last night their schedule is kind of out of whack. ]
But, nah. I'm fine. You know I can go like ten more hours without eating.
Yeah, I heard the food was good too. They get fresh cream and milk from the farms out here, and the fish is also locally sourced. I saw a lot of reviews that said the seafood has a certain sweet aroma to it that's unique to the area. [ they have heard running water around them as they were hiking, and as they get higher, it's easier to see the expanse of creeks and lakes. ] So our baby can look forward to the food.
that said, rafayel goes through a whole whirlwind of emotions. honestly, he's never really put a lot of thought into it. not that he was against it. no, he thinks he could do anything if it was with tobari. but, it's just the idea that he envisions a legitimate future together with him... that makes him feel a little touched.
maybe he actually won't leave tobari alone as soon as they check in... ]
But, what about you? Do you want to? [ wait. ] Oh, I guess you do strike me as the type who would get lonely nest syndrome. [ like if suzune ever got into a relationship... or moved a little further away. ]
[ scien can genetically modify the human body to make mpreg real like a fucking freak... tobari is just a guy?
as for his answer, ]
... I didn't think it was in the cards for me [ because he thought he'd always be too busy to focus on a family ] but... if I could give some kids a family and a chance the same way that our foster mom did for me and Suzune... I thought it'd be a nice sentiment.
[ well. he squeezes rafayel's hand. ]
But I think we're too busy right now. [ and also too wrapped up in each other. they will probably be infatuated forever but tobari thinks that they'd need to shift priorities a bit first... ] So I was just going to bring it up later, to see if you even wanted to.
[ since obviously it'd be a joint decision... ]
I don't need this to be happy or anything. I already have you. But it was a thought.
I think you'd make a great dad, and I can also see that life with you. [ he says like every man does on every dating show ever, but he genuinely means it. tobari was kinder than anyone he knew, and he wasn't the type who generally tossed that term around lightly. the love he felt for those around him was immense, but maybe because of that... rafayel can't help but also be a little worried that tobari would only further put himself and his desires to the waste side.
aside from his concern, though...
he supposes there are also children born between lemurians and humans in which they aren't easily accepted just anywhere, and he'd also like to give them a home if he was capable of it. in the same vein, though... ] Easily. So easily that it might kinda scare me? But, I also think I want to focus on you right now.
I need to make sure you're taken care of first. You're already so focused on everyone else, so... I have to make sure to give you all my attention. You know, at least until you're sick of it.

Mm. We should eat too.
[ hike... hungy ]
no subject
Yeah, and it's never sit well with me. Like, who survives without naps?
[ crazy work. ]
Forgot it's about our baby's lunch time.
[ why is he acting like tobari is a baby now... ( bdsm quiz voice ) little
i still don't know how that happened. i might have misread the question about plushies ]
no subject
????????? frowns ]
The fact that you don't pay as much attention to your meals is what doesn't sit well with me. Notice your hunger cues!
[ EAT, YOU WEIRDO (together they make a fully functioning person) ]
Don't make shit weird just because I remember to eat!
no subject
[ like? hello???
that said, he's absolutely going to make shit weird. ]
Wah, wah, googoo gaga, I get it.
[ going to reach in the bag tobari is holding to pull out a cheese stick.
going to peel it open and hold it to tobari's mouth. ]
no subject
he is ignoring the cheese entirely and biting rafayel's hand ]
no subject
[ he's pushing his hand back into tobari's face though...
so does he ever learn. ]
no subject
tobari just grumbles more at that, grabbing rafayel's wrist with his own hand and twisting it away from his face—the movement is sharp, but he doesn't hold tight enough to intentionally hurt at least ]
I don't want your damn cheese!

no subject
but he will eat since he doesn't want to waste food, even though he will also offer some strips back to rafayel... their shared cheese...
but he frowns... ] Yeah, I just said that's my problem... Whatever. It's fine as long as you eat with me.
[ even if it'll take them twice as long to finish a meal because they get distracted by each other and more bickering ]
no subject
Yeah, I heard the food was good too. They get fresh cream and milk from the farms out here, and the fish is also locally sourced.

[ why is he stuck on this bit. ]
no subject
Can you fucking quit that.
The only time I want to hear the words “our baby” leave your mouth is when we’re stable enough to start a family.
[ YOU FREAK!!!!!! ]
no subject
even though, his expression does freeze up at that last bit. ]
You... want to start a family with me?
[ why is he so shocked... he just is.
but also... mpreg? ]
no subject
or i guess raf can have an egg
but tobari just tilts his head? ]
Yeah? If you want to. Why is this a surprise.
