he likes the way tobari is trailing over the marks from last night. it felt not unlike the way a painter would scrutinize their own brush strokes. it tickles just a little, and so he gives a small, airy sort of laugh as he finishes pulling off the rest of the tie. it took some effort from him (because he insisted on trying to be seductive... this is embarrassing), and so he lays back, already tired. just enjoying the weight of tobari's body, as if it were his security blanket. ]
Mm, no. We don't. We can grab food nearby, or we can order takeout. That way we can take it easy, before tonight. [ he strokes tobari's hair, now with his hand freed. while he can finally use his right hand now, he can't deny it does feel a bit emptier. they both are prone to loneliness, it looks like.
but, tobari is being... so soft. ] Stop. If you're this cute, I might have to start leaving you lonely more often. [ jk, he could never... while absence might make the heart grow fonder for some, rafayel would argue his emotions are already too much for himself to handle as it is. ]
[ he really used his teeth to do that... it's fine. tobari at least thinks the effort was endearing even if he's like 'that was inefficient' LKAEFLKF
tobari's hair is probably free of whatever style it got put in the night before, all unruly and long, and he closes his eyes briefly as he just enjoys the feeling of rafayel's touch. he hums faintly at the plan for the day, deciding he's fine with anything. vacation is rare for him and normally he'd like to be up and about a bit more, but here he finds himself warring between his curiosity about where rafayel grew up and just wanting to stay closer to the person in question as much as possible
so he settles that wish of his by simply leaning in to press another lazy kiss to rafayel's mouth as if banishing any thoughts of being so mean to him? what has tobari ever done to deserve this? it is not like he is so constantly mean and bullying to rafayel all the time? ]
Hmm, no, I don't think I'll allow for that. I'll just catch your attention again when I want it.
[ he is not the type to wait to claim the attention he wants... even now, he just experimentally flexes his fingers when his hand is freed to let his palm just rest over rafayel's chest as if seeking out his heartbeat ]
But we can get up whenever you want. [ he says before kissing rafayel again. ok. ]
[ STOP THINKING IT'S INEFFICIENT!!! sexiness (debatable) isn't always what makes sense
either way, he likes it when tobari's hair is down like this. it feels... like a sight that's reserved just for him. you'd think a night of intimacy would have just as easily driven the same point home, and yet... rafayel can't help but feel insecure at times.
... and yet, here he is. acting up. pretending like he could ever truly leave tobari alone, when he'd live under his skin if he could. ] Oh? You sound confident. [ but feeling tobari's hand on his chest, he closes his eyes, just enjoying the warmth for a few seconds, before looking back up at tobari. he grabs the back of his head and gives him a clumsy kiss right back. ] You should be, though. I heard that a certain fishie can't get enough of you.
[ that said, he does tilt his head towards the door, saying they should get up.
... this is mostly for himself. he isn't sure he can hold back, and at the same time, he feels like he should focus on tonight.
... and he still has to get tobari his cup of water. ]
[ it can be sexy(?) AND inefficient... but it's true that tobari probably only ever lets his hair down when he's at home. otherwise it's styled or pinned up...
though it's funny how rafayel suggesting that they get up is just another indicator to him that something's off? he doesn't want to stay wrapped up in each other for a few more hours when tobari's not the one nagging about missing meals or lazing about all day...? so tobari looks briefly surprised, a frown briefly pulling at his lips - the only flash of disappointment he'll show - before he presses a kiss to rafayel's cheek. hmph. ]
Mm... sounds liked mixed signals to me, Raf. [ can't get enough of him but??? suggesting they get up??? well, he'll at least tease about it so he doesn't actually sound too put out: ] I'll remember this next time I feel like being sweet to you.
[ next vacation he's starting their itinerary before noon everyday so they can't stay in bed like this
honestly, the fact that he's coming across that way doesn't even cross his mind. as far as he knows, he's just being a good, diligent boyfriend. in reality, tobari probably does know him a little too well. in the same breath, he does catch onto that brief glimpse of something on tobari's face, and he just sort of smiles weakly at it.
he pretends not to notice, if just to spare them both the grief. rafayel isn't exactly ready to be called out, either. except, huh? wait? ] ... Don't you think that's a bit harsh? [ reaching over to try and grab his cheek. except, he falls a bit short when tobari is already shifting to get up...
and rafayel can't help but to feel a bit emptier, even when it's his own suggestion.
he shakes it off, and he's already walking towards the kitchen. he comes back... with the cup of water. ]
Drink carefully. [ even at a time like this, rafayel would probably be clingier, but he's being good and just holding the cup out towards him. ]
I didn't even ask for this. [ he needs to point that out. he has to. at no point did he indicate that he was thirsty. but he does reach out to take it from rafayel, sipping at it as he also takes the opportunity to gather his thoughts some more... he'll only finish half the glass before handing the rest back to rafayel to drink ]
—You have something you need to take care of?
[ rafayel said that they can just relax and get food and then spend the rest of the afternoon chilling but... ???? there's that odd feeling again that's putting tobari ill at ease ]
You have to stay hydrated. [ the fact that he was so firm on doing this while it being so completely unpromoted... he does end up drinking what remains in the cup before placing it at the nearest bedside table.
at tobari's words, he tilts his head, before shaking it. ] No, but I just thought you wouldn't want to waste an opportunity to do something while traveling. I also thought I should take your clothes out and iron it out a little while we still had time.
[ he can tell tobari feels uneasy, and so he holds his hand out to him. ]
[ he does feel uneasy! it's not like rafayel's ever failed to be considerate of him, but for some reason it feels like his mind is ever so slightly elsewhere too. he looks dubious for a second longer, tilting his head like confused dog... but he'll accept the hand when it comes
and his free one will reach out to pinch rafayel's nose annoyingly like honking a clown nose ]
Just tell me if there's anything I can do to help.
[ that's all. and then he'll move to actually properly stand, stretching out as he does ]
[ not the confused dog... why is he so cute. rafayel can't help but to find the display a little adorable in spite of tobari likely being very serious about this. but, he also thinks the part of him that doesn't ask in fear of spooking him ... is also incredibly endearing. he isn't used to his feelings being the priority, and it likely shows. ]
— hey. [ except, it's short lived, he sees? he scrunches his face a little as he instinctively ducks his head away. ]
Well, for that, yeah... you should be the one getting us breakfast. Jeez.
[ in contrast, he does end up still squeezing his hand, before placing a tiny kiss on the back of it. ]
[ rafayel's feelings are always tobari's priority... for better or worse! he just huffs out a breath, endeared, before bringing his hands up to cup rafayel's cheeks and leaning up to give him a brief kiss. ]
Yeah, yeah. Enough of your complaints.
[ there'll be a mountain of them no matter what tobari does... he'll go to their bags so he can find something comfy and reasonable to wear for the rest of the day before they go somewhere fancy and stuffy at night. the way that even tobari's comfy outfit probably has a lot of flowing fabric and bold colors. peacock behavior. while he's going through his stuff, he'll bring out the white clothes that rafayel got and put them aside for him for easy access to iron later... ]
You can sleep in some more if you want. I can get back to cleaning out some more of the art here after brunch.
[ in turn, rafayel can't help but focus on tobari. it's enough where sometimes he feels like he loses sight of everything— his concept of time, the outside world, and even what he's actually here for. except, that was also impossible. not when they're in this apartment, at least.
in spite of these feelings, he does manage to crack a small smile back.
he watches as tobari chooses an outfit for today, and head towards the door. his peacock behavior is sooooo cute. but, rafayel isn't sure why this sight of tobari leaving unsettles him for a moment, but it does. so he can't help but walk over to him and pull him into a hug. he then slowly releases his hold on him, and gives a nod. ]
I think we made a lot of progress, so don't worry about it. I'll also have your suit all nice and ready for tonight.
[ not the return of clinginessā¦ tobari lets himself get caught into a hug and he grumbles half heartedly the way that he always does when rafayel interrupts him from somethingā¦ but he still sighs and returns the hug. also as always. this strange mood really does feel like the ebb and flow of the ocean, the push and pull of the waves, and he supposes the best thing he can do now for rafayel is to be steady. itād be more of a mess if they both got caught up in their feelingsā¦
so tobari also reaches up to hold rafās face again, thumbs brushing against his cheeks gently ]
Sure. Iāll be back soon. You can come with me if you want, but itās not a two person job.
[ but if thereās no further protests, heās headed out to go get food for them both to bring back ]
[ the fact that tobari acts so casual with it is... actually incredibly reassuring. if he had also acted emotionally, he's sure he might felt receded further. at least until later tonight. for now, he can at least put up the illusion that they're simply here to attend an event tonight. where nothing is awry, and where they're nothing more than a normal couple on a trip.
it's probably in the same way, rafayel has avoided voicing his concern to the smell of ash and soot that occasionally clings to tobari. a distinct, almost chemical scent that clings to the nose. he quiets for just a second before simply leaning his head into the touch. ] I just wanted to say I really, really like you.
[ ... ] So, don't don't forget the yogurt.
[ he smiles and pats his back, before he watches him head out.
when tobari returns, it does look like rafayel got a decent amount done. some boxes moved out of the way. others put away on the shelves, and tobari's clothes, neatly ironed. rafayel's own suit also remains hung up in the wardrobe. maybe he is manically efficient when he has to be...
while rafayel looks a bit a mess with paint on his perfectly white clothes as he's seen dozing off on a chair with a sketchbook over his face to block out the sun. ]
[ rafayel isā¦ cute. tobari rolls his eyes fondly at the words, but ultimately leaves even though there is always the inherent temptation to stay with rafayel just a bit longer. he will be responsible.
he comes back with their food, damn they really eat a lot on these threads i guess thatās a result of tobari refusing to let rafayel skip a meal ALSNSKKSKS but!! heās impressed at the effortā¦ he puts their food down at the table but then heāll go to wake up rafayel, even if he feels just a little bit bad doing it this time. to buy him a few seconds, tobari will lift the sketchbook and take a peek at what he was working onā¦ if there was anythingā¦
and then after he will see if he can just kiss rafayel into waking up again. gentler than the urge he has sometimes to pinch him awake but thatās just cuteness aggression ]
the sketches span from just the lonely strip of beach they walked, to the restaurant they went to last night. there's a bit of waves, a seashell that he draws by memory, and then an even rougher draft of what looks to be a person. a familiar man with long hair, hair that's spread out on the page as he's clearly sleeping in the drawing. the only thing unfinished is the actual expression of the individual featured in his unfinished work...
he stirs slightly just from smelling the food, but also from tobari's ( omegaverse voice ) specific scent. but, he knows he has to be good and wait for the kiss to awake like a proper prince(ss). he opens his eyes slowly, and the first thing he does is grab tobari onto his lap. ]
[ the sketches are cuteā¦ tobari rolls eyes fondly at the unfinished sketch but heās not vain enough to focus much on that one, instead admiring rafayelās art of everything elseā¦ the sights, the way that he sees his hometownā¦
the sketchbook is still carefully held in tobariās hand even as he makes a noise of surprise when heās pulled into rafayelās lap. he sighs ]
What are you, one of those deep sea lamp fish?
[ you know the angler ones that has the little light that other fish are drawn to before they get eaten theyāre so scary
tobari will give him a second kiss anyway, because heās doting ]
[ quietly, under his breath... ] You know what those are...?
[ he doesn't mean for this to be an insult...
he is also looking at his hands and back at tobari's clothes. oops. at least it didn't seem to go beyond the surface, but the paints he make do tend to be harder to get out of clothes. ... and so he just smiles. surely not. ] This way, everyone knows who you belong to?
[ tobari fighting against the laundry every fucking time because he hates the idea of rafayel just buying clothes to replace the ones he gets covered in paint....
grabbing rafayel's wrists before his terrible little artist hands can inflict any more damage ]
Did you just call me stupid and yours at the same time.
[ him now knowing every stain hack known to man... raf like you could start your own channel
when tobari seizes his wrists, rafayel blinks a bit, before giving him a lazy tilt of his head. ] Yeah, but you're lucky, because of that, it's my job to look out for silly people like you.
[ he slips his wrist out of his grip and uses his hand to close and open over tobari's hand playfully. ]
[ it's for the principle of penny pinching and not being wasteful... tobari conversing with every nanny and housekeeper and housewife he knows to learn how to get stubborn paint stains out of anything
BUT HE JUST SAID YEAH?
tobari tightens his grip on the wrist he's still holding onto ]
That's less romantic than you think it is. You're still in trouble. You think I tune you out whenever you start talking about fish? I should probably start.
he's being scolded (real) and not scolded (sexy) ... damn ]
Impossible. I know you love my stories. [ he says smugly, but really...
he means it in appreciation. he knows it isn't like everyone is capable of comprehending something that may have appeared like fantasy to them. an underwater city. people who were capable of living beneath the tides. a society in which every individual was practically immortal...
they were all difficult things to accept, and so who wouldn't love the only person to accept all of that without question. that said, he also knows he's supposed to be repenting here, and so he tries to give tobari a kiss on the cheek. cutely. he even looks up at him a little apologetically for good measure. ]
[ he is being scolded real.... though even that's pretty short-lived when he acts cute about it. it's true that tobari genuinely finds rafayel cute most of the time, so playing it up doesn't always work... but he also thinks that vacation is hardly the time to be stubborn
he's still frowning after receiving the little kiss, but he sighs and lets go of most of his annoyance ]
The stories are good, even if sometimes you aren't.
[ misbehaving... tobari repays rafayel with a little pinch to his cheek before moving to stand from his lap ]
Come on. Let's eat something real before rich people try to feed us tiny little plates all night.
[ why do they have so much money but insist on tiny little finger foods he hates them all ]
[ it really is a 50/50 if it would work on only serve to annoy tobari further... but, he's relieved when he doesn't seem too upset. he ends up grabbing a nearby cloth and wiping his hands down, before also slipping out of the seat to follow tobari.
he walks towards the smaller kitchenette and he's already sniffing the air as if to determine what else he brought. though, he does have to laugh at tobari's hater mentality. ] They are pretty tiny. I mean, if they have so much money, why are they skimping on the caviar?
[ eggs... ]
It's easier to eat before, or after. My boyfriend is so smart.
[ see? he's trying to make up for his fish comment. ]
[ tobari did in fact get a yogurt... he got a yogurt trifle to share with lots of fresh fruits—strawberries, blueberries, melon, banana and dragon fruit as well as a set of hearty salmon bagel breakfast sandwiches... yum. he's also washing off his hands and making a face as he looks down at the paint on his clothes before working on bringing the food out of their bags to serve them both
but also he's just going to look over at rafayel and raise a brow slowly ]
It sounds pretty pathetic if you force it like that. My ego isn't that easily bruised, you know?

he likes the way tobari is trailing over the marks from last night. it felt not unlike the way a painter would scrutinize their own brush strokes. it tickles just a little, and so he gives a small, airy sort of laugh as he finishes pulling off the rest of the tie. it took some effort from him (because he insisted on trying to be seductive... this is embarrassing), and so he lays back, already tired. just enjoying the weight of tobari's body, as if it were his security blanket. ]
