[ He barely realizes what he said, and seeing Ai huge eyes has him blushing in confusion. ] Huh? Th-that look... [ is the best he can get out, unsure what the matter was. Payback? Was what he said so outrageous?
Oh! He sputters, glancing defensively to aside, ] Mikhails's a weirdo, who knows. [ He probably could have articulated himself better to anyone else, under damn near the exact same circumstances, but he's caught otherwise speechless. What a cute reaction. Awkwardly and subtly as he can, he rubs over his heart, wishing the thunder would settle. He can hardly look that sweet expression straight on. ]
I... [ miss it, too, but his brain slams shut. ] Yeah, [ he nods. He misses it terribly. Australia was everything he wanted to chase his dreams, but when he needed something most, it lacked. What is it... c'est la vie. Seems like this keeps happening over and over to him.
He's quiet, again, thinking before he speaks, ] Yeah, uh... Month's not really enough time. [ He's not sure what he's saying suddenly. ] Or... ah... Y'know.
[He really wasn't used to being appraised, not so directly, and least of all from Rin. He could handle comments about his swimming, his academics, his mess-- simply put, Rin saying something that edges on personal had Ai out of his wits. Not only was it foreign, but it registered somewhere in his psyche that was overwhelmingly vulnerable at best, and impressionable at worst.
His eyes flit to the next natural movement, which is Rin's hand grasping at his chest. Ai had his composure, even if he had appeared owlish for a moment, but all at once, it is as if there is a lump in his throat he cannot swallow down, and a heat he cannot keep from consistently trying to lick at his cheeks.
Month's not enough time. It'd be nice... Together.
There is something about Rin's disposition in that moment-- uncharacteristically disarmed, unusually... Ai wouldn't say shy, but. The only times he can recall seeing Rin so unsure of the words coming out of his mouth were around his other friends. In these tense moments, it wasn't uncommon for their scripts to be flipped. Rin beside himself, and Ai boldly crossing boundaries to get his points across. Somehow, right now was no different.
Between them Rin was usually the more handsy one, but Ai's senses overwhelm him to the point of breaking ice; he leans across the small distance between them, not so much resting his head on Rin's shoulder as he is pressing his face against his nape. At this proximity, Rin can no doubt feel the heat radiating from his skin... And can also likely feel the way Ai is suddenly smiling, as if Rin didn't just take an arrow straight to his chest.]
That's a month to make memories, senpai. And things don't end just because you have to go away for a little while... This much we're used to already, right? [Ai tilts his head up, just enough to catch the corner of Rin's gaze.] But.
If I was able to give you something to think on fondly when you fly back to Australia, I'd be happy.
[ Whatever he was saying, or trying not to say, clearly his heart sung louder. Ai reads every beat of his heart effortlessly. He barely moves as Ai closes the space, except to turn slightly and let him in. He’s still lost in his thoughts. Reflections of the night market flash before him: stolen glances, thoughtless doting, sliding his way in to be closer to Ai. No single text brought him more glee than Ai’s confirmation "I’ll be there"as he packed his bags for Japan.
And now… How many times had he felt another man, skin to skin, pressed up against him and felt nothing like this? Yet, with only as much as the layer of Ai’s shirt between them, a furnace blazes at his core. He feels the air of Ai’s voice close to his skin as he speaks.
He rests his head against Ai’s, leaning as much into him as the other had to start. The exhale of his breath shakes, making his nerves so, painfully obvious. A month of memories, huh? Less, really; he still has so much to catch up on before goes. Is it more selfish to deny them both, or to take what he wants?
His fingers twitch. He can’t find words at all within himself, but feels them so, so plainly. It’s just a small distance, isn’t it? To reach across and feel Ai’s knuckles with his fingertips. To hold his hand. He thinks: maybe it doesn’t matter as much, what I want. Thoughts become actions, reaching out to touch Ai’s hand; his own naturally dry after years of chlorine soaking into his skin. ]
[He will replay this moment in his head, over and over, likely for years to come. The small victory of choosing to take up space, deliberately be a nuisance, and be anything other than strictly orderly with his former roommate - and for it he's rewarded in spades. Ai can't yet deduce what all is going through Rin's head, and for once finds it incredibly hard to guess, but his intuition led him correctly to if I do this much, I won't drive him away and so Ai can reasonably surmise it's the same jumbled, heated mess as his own current stream of consciousness.
Rin's hand is unreasonably warm, much as his breath feels so unreasonably close. It is as if all at once that undercurrent of electricity he had gleefully ignored and rationalized as anything else all damn day was presently screaming for attention.
It leads him to two truths. One: they were both on the same page, even if Ai can't currently decipher its texts. And two: Rin was stuck in his head.
Ai strokes his thumb against the blanket warmth of Rin's hand; a soothing, almost reassuring gesture, meant as much for Rin as it is Ai himself. And his voice is small; as if any other ghosts weren't allowed to listen to him, only Rin. Feels as though he has to temper his words, lest his latent fluster get the best of him.]
It isn't often I'm left guessing what's going through your head, senpai. [It comes in a small titter, eyes rapt on where Rin's held his hand. Ai presses his temple further against Rin's neck. Softer still,]
[ If anything, the moment Ai took his hand, the tension breaks. Peace holds him. He could relax into this instant forever, awash with pleasant warmth. He closes his eyes and rests into him, thinking about brushes of his thumb.
He snorts, laughs. Why is he so nervous? ] You aren’t? [ He chortles, squeezing Ai’s hand before finding his words: ] Bet a pretty guy like you gets asked out all the time.
[ Maybe it was unfair to tease Ai to avoid the implications of the question, but he’s just as sure that any step toward that answer would be a step back into his rut. Without words, they’d already both agreed that right here, right now, felt right. ]
[Ai nearly huffs, Rin's question and then following quip so respectively obvious and direct that Ai's poor heart doesn't know how to react. Thankfully, his trust for Rin was in perpetuity; Ai is even bold enough to peel away from Rin's neck enough to sit up and look him in the eye, flashing Rin an expression that is both vulnerable and rueful, lips upticked in a lopsided smile.]
Of course I am. I don't know what to do when you keep saying things like that. [His tone is hardly accusatory, though if Rin's intent was to tease him to the point of riling him, it worked. His periphery is nothing but beautiful crimson eyes and strands of ruby hair; it's equal parts terrifying and calming.] If anything, senpai, aren't you...? [Courted way more often? Ai could think of at least four of their mutual friends that fit the bill, let alone the droves and droves of women and probably men who would salivate at Matsuoka's feet after seeing him qualify for Australia's championship.]
[ Giving him the room to draw back, Rin turns his gaze finally and listens. It's the first time he's stared at Ai long enough, in good enough light, to take in the person in front of him.
"Pretty" didn't cover it. The years had changed his face, Rin thinks as he sees it closer now, staring longer than he dared to before. Ai was young--no, they were both young when they first met; boys still, for only so long. As men... Ai's features had grown and strengthened, but his eyes and smile still shone like a sunny day. His heart warmed any space he stood in. Even that funny haircut sat better on his head than before. Rin smiles behind his own mess of hair. He's beautiful. ]
Tch, [ he grimaces slightly, eyes briefly closed, ] I'm single now, aren't I? [ His vector with his friends is different. There's always passion in competition. Although, reflecting on past relationship attempts, he realizes he's probably a heartbreaker. Probably taboo to bring that up now.... ]
[He knows he's being appraised. Can tell by the way Rin's eyes are rapt upon him, countenance measured. Weirdly, however, despite the weight of his gaze, Ai doesn't feel small or uncomfortable. It was a rather disarming feeling, in fact: the realization he doesn't mind Rin peeling him back layer by layer, taking him in for all he has to offer.
At this proximity, Rin can absolutely see the way the thought - vulnerable and so painfully, traitorously devoted - causes pink to kiss Ai's cheeks.
He smiles, a little cheeky, when Rin clicks his lips. Though his words leave Ai's mind spinning all the wheels it could spin. As the thoughts coalesce into something coherent in his brain, he takes a moment to raise his free hand and, surprising himself for a second time that evening, brushing a strand of Rin's hair away from his eyes and behind his ear. For a swimmer, his hair was unusually soft to the touch. He is yet again taken by that strong and unyielding crimson gaze; Ai chooses to break it only as Rin's eyes flit closed for a moment, his own landing upon Rin's lips. Suddenly, his heart is in his throat, and his eyes snap right back up to Rin's.]
I wouldn't have known either way. [Whether or not Rin was single; whether or not he cared about that kind of thing. Ai's suddenly pursing his lips, curiosity getting the better of him, and unwittingly poking at the very thing Rin seems eager to skirt,] But have you? Before? [Why so vague, Aiichirou? He leaves it for Rin to interpret that question as he sees fit.]
[ That glance does not go missed; they're too close for the arch of his gaze to slip passed Rin. Is that what he’s thinking behind those flushed cheeks? Rin rarely spoke of his romantic life, and he rarely asked; matters of the heart were simply not his business. So for Ai, he's equally clueless. ]
The hell is this, twenty questions? [ Rin mutters, impatiently. Whatever Ai wanted to know, the specifics are lost on Rin, yet he felt confident he could guess its roundabout conclusion. Rin draws his hand awa from Ai's before stepping away; another careful parry to set himself up for his next move. His lips are parted every so slightly, revealing a flash of sharp teeth. ]
If it’s a matter of experience... [ he mutters, taking action as he speaks: he steps forward, placing his foot firmly between Ai's, and he closes the distance between them with unwavering confidence. While he was not as stunted as Haru with words, they had never been his true strength. His large hand reaches just behind Ai's hip and with strength in his grip, presses their fronts flat to each other. His eyes flash with excitement suddenly--something Ai wouldn’t miss--as he realizes the challenge he's about to put forth. If words were not his strength, a show of physical prowess was his home field.
Expertly, he lowers his countenance to Ai's, pressing their foreheads together, the tip of his nose presses into shallow laugh lines, but his lips... Expertly--as if he had a perfectly honed penchant for shoving his face into other people's--their lips did not touch. The aura of closeness should tingle at Ai’s mouth. ] ...between you and me, does it really matter?
[Ai is about to make some kind of quip about how this much is normal for friends to talk about, this that and the third-- but all words die on the back of his tongue when Rin pulls away.
It says something that Ai doesn't suddenly miss the closeness and the warmth. There was something about Rin, a static and electric charge that led Ai to believe firmly that he was about to do something reckless. Like watching a fin cut through the water, ever closer.
At once, his purview is again nothing but Rin, but now all of him can supplement the feeling, not just his eyes and his hand. He makes a small noise, airy and sudden, surprising even himself. Stunned at first; he wasn't sure who was going to break tension, but for some reason had hedged his bets against Rin. Ai's endurance had actually done him no favours, as it appears Rin had grown weary of waiting. Realization finally dawns on him when Rin pulls their bodies flush together, forces himself flush to Ai's face in none of the ways that matter, Ai was so close to just--
Rin's bare skin is under his palm, which is a touch that is not shy and might even be described as frustrated, the way it clambers up Rin's stomach and chest and clavicle, his jaw.
He no longer cares if Rin might come to describe him as too much, nuisance, bad play; Ai doesn't so much as lean up to close that infuriatingly small gap as he does pull Rin down, slotting their lips together with a slow-roiling heat. His entire body pushes into Rin along with it; hips down against thigh, chest to chest. Ai breaks their kiss only long enough to catch Rin's gaze in his own, all raw determination and heat - not a single ounce of shyness or uncertainty to be found in clear sky blue.]
The gap has never scared me. I work hard for what I want, and this is no different, [his thumb smooths over the top of Rin's cheek; then lower, padding against his lower lip,] Rin-senpai.
[ Anticipation sets him ablaze as fingers dance up his torso. It takes everything he has to let Ai’s part play out. Wanting gnaws at him. If his action instilled frustration in Ai: good. Come take what you want.
It takes nearly nothing to draw Rin down that hair's breadth distance between their lips, and more, he buries himself into the kiss with gladness and fervor. His other arm swings around Ai to hold him tight; he’d surely knock the beautiful young man over without the extra care. This moment, this kiss, he feels like he’s chased it for years. Every movement of Ai’s body seemed to want for him and he felt so, so glad.
Rin’s cheeks are dusted pink when Ai draws back, breathless. What Ai says... a strange, yet dopey smile tickles Rin’s lips. It would be just like Ai to say this... the most stouthearted man he knew.
Rin-senpai. He mocks biting at Ai’s thumb. ] You’re such a freaking dork, [ But if his goal was to seduce Rin, it’s incredibly effective. Grabbing Ai’s hips, he pushes him back against the counter, stealing back those hot lips. His knee knocks into the counter between Ai’s legs. Rin’s hands smooth up, catching the hem of Ai’s shirt as he latches onto the bare skin of Ai’s waist. If Ai resists, he’ll stop, but feeling his obliques burns curiosity into Rin. Ai says he can’t put on muscle, but gods, he could feel the strength under the skin. It’s obvious from each inch his hands climb, until at last it this shirt makes no sense to wear. ]
[Want would be underselling it. What word could encapsulate the overture that had been Ai's desire, developing and compounding for nearly half a decade? What could quantify finally being given the permission to stop sitting on his hands and do something about it?
He didn't want Rin. Right now, small of his back pressed to the countertop, Rin's thigh achingly close between his legs, Ai needed him.
His exhale is breathless already, but his lips are cupped into a smile when Rin mocks biting his thumb,] Please don't call me that when you have your hands on me. [And instantly, he's swallowed whole. Ai could not imagine resisting, and instead Rin would find Ai eagerly meeting every little ministration, as if he could locket the heat building between them to preserve it. Both of his hands come down to Rin's hips, palms heady as they snake toward Rin's backside; Ai is not shy, gripping Rin by the rounds of his ass to pull him forward, force their bodies closer, and force that subtle friction. Ai's whole body keens into the motion, leaving heat where their bodies touch on Rin's upper thigh.
His abdomen muscles twitch under the unfamiliar touch, Rin leaving a trail of warmth in his wake against Ai's body. It's with reluctance he removes his hands from Rin's body to instead help shuck his shirt off - not out of shyness, but because it neglects him those four-to-five seconds of contact. As soon as it's pulled up and over his head, Ai's hands are both on the sides of Rin's nape, touch unusually soft and even gentle.
... Perhaps because the way he rolls his hips this time is anything but subtle, dragging along Rin's thigh until their hips find languid, rolled contact.
He keeps Rin's lips close to his own, but much as Rin had done a few moments earlier, Ai doesn't close the last centimeter; instead, eyes boor into Rin's, imploring him to see all the want and need Ai has to give him.]
[ He’s entranced. Ai’s gaze is like standing under summer sky: hot, humid, and breathtaking. It was not so long ago that diving into that bright, blue sky felt like taboo, now he cannot stop staring into the young man’s eyes. Beautiful as Ai is, there’s a fierce hunger in his gaze. That Ai is taunting him for his earlier trick is evident, but godsdamn if he didn’t love it. And worse... bribing him--grinding against him. Rin grins and groans, a laugh tickling his voice: ] Fuck, you are naughty, [ He whispers.
Still, he has this moment. As badly as he wants to cave to the unsubtle lust that gripped them, his thoughts are possessed with what’s now visible to him. As one hand presses into the counter behind Ai, he brushes his other over Ai’s jawline, down along his throat, and eventually over his bare chest. His eyes cast down, his admiration evident as he sees Ai, well, differently for the first time. Or, maybe just the first time in a while. No, his body wasn’t built like Rin’s, but that’s a swimmer’s body without question. Rin bites his own lip, knowing already how much effort Ai had to put in to get to where he is today.
He’ll spoil the hell out of this body.
His eyes flit back up, a heavy breath rushing out of him. Just a hair closer he steps, pressing his groin against Ai. Not to grind, but without underwear, behind the comfort of Ai’s borrowed shorts, his passion is unmistakable. His hand hovers heavily at the hem of Ai’s pants, a hundred pound weight ready to drop on at the word. His lips met Ai’s, a soft kiss to match the tender draping at his shoulders. ] Hey… that futon goin’ to waste? [ Ai is going to have to answer between kisses. Rin’s not being helpful. ]
[Funny how time works. And distance. In a way, none of this was new for Ai, other than the confidence to be present with it all. But as far back as their first year spent living together, Ai can remember the warmth that coalesced in his chest at seeing Rin, often shirtless in their shared dorm, or nude completely in the shower room. Propriety often kept every ounce of Ai's admiration - the kind that bloomed specifically with Rin out of the water - under tight lock and key, not wanting to take a friendship with Matsuoka for granted.
And yet given a few years, a few centimeters, a few new notches to his backbone... Ai wonders passively if Rin has thought about this as much as Ai has historically. Would Rin have corralled him against a desk like this, too?
Rin's eyes on him are heavy, and though Ai can say he's finally proud of the body he pilots, the sensation of being appraised and scrutinized still nearly makes him squirm. Rather than acquiesce to the insecurity, though, Ai instead chooses to lean into what is tangible; Rin's hand roams down his body, and Ai presses his chest up into that touch, rolls his stomach against it. He isn't showing off as much as he is trying to encourage more of that out of Rin.
Then he feels it.
For a split second Ai breaks their gaze to look down to where their bodies kiss, and there is just-- something about the visual. Two intentions caught against wrinkled fabric, Rin's hand so painfully close. Ai looks back up to him, and without even realizing it, one of his hands has skirted toward Rin's waist, his abdomen, his pelvic bone...
His breath hitches subtly on the back of his throat, caught between his growing arousal, the tightness in his chest, and the way Rin's lips seem as if they cannot leave him for longer than a half-second. He begins his answer by leaning a little off the counter, entire body flush to Rin's, trying to get him on his heel,] I really thought, [another soft kiss; one of Ai's hands is cupping the side of Rin's nape gently,] you'd sleep here tonight. For what it's worth.
[Tenderly he noses as Rin's cheek; kisses the corner of his lips.] Let me join you.
[ There was never a doubt in his mind that Rin would sleep here, although with this change between them, he had to wonder where he could take this man. The futon, then; he can’t blame Ai if he’d rather not have him in the bed, but a little disappointment needles at his neck. No, this is fine. There’s probably more room to spread out with the futon anyway...
He grins. If any gap in experience existed between them, he doesn’t sense it at all. Ai orchestrated the perfect melody over his heartstrings. It’s only after a long, beloved kiss that Rin relents, giving passage to the young man so they could move to the next room. Behind Ai’s back, he glances down at himself, his arousal pitched high and calves exposed. Ugh. He’ll just step out of these now.
Rin catches the light switch behind them, letting in cool light from outside. At last able to hear over his own pant, it’s plain that the rain has stopped, and in this quiet suburb the moonlight could finally cut through the clouds. Rin closes the distance behind Ai, pressing his bare body against his former classmate’s back and leaning his jaw into Ai’s ear. His arm wraps around Ai’s chest. ] Listen. You think of something you want, just say the word. I’ll give you whatever to think fondly of when I’m away.
[ Sound familiar? The sweet words Ai spoke himself not so long ago. Rin kisses the side of his head. His free hand draws a line across the edge of Ai’s pants before pulling them carefully down; possibly Ai knew before Rin had already ditched the shorts he borrowed. Possibly he’s just now finding out. The curve of his erection follows the cure of Ai’s ass. The moment he’s satisfied with the connection, even if he doesn’t bother to completely remove the pants himself, he grabs the base of Ai’s shaft, testing the waters first before following the length up; eye closed, letting sensation paint the image of Ai’s arousal. ]
[The embarrassing truth is Ai isn't sure he'll make it to the bed. He had no qualms about bringing Rin there - or anywhere else in his apartment, for that matter - but the futon was the closest soft-surface entity other than his two-seater couch, and thus the most convenient option.
Options that mean little, anyway, when in his pursuit he is stopped first by watching the lights dim off, affecting the mood in the studio immediately to something more sultry. In the next second Rin is close behind him, arms wrapped to his front, and it is very very hard to miss the soft keen that trails on an exhale out of his nose. Instinctively it leaves Ai to push back against Rin, hips jut to encourage Rin's hands as they push the fabric lower--
Yeah, he's only feeling it now. Rin's bare hardness presently pressed to the slope of his own ass. Though Rin cannot see it where he's wrung his eyes shut, Ai's bottom lip catches between his teeth. All at once, this entire encounter stepped out of his dreams and into a tangible reality.
Rin said something - Ai's mind is fogged over with his lust. Think, Aiichirou! In a flash, what Rin had said clicks, and that alone elicits another shudder out of him.]
I think you'll find I'm more selfish than you are, senpai. [Maybe not holistically, but in this specific instance? Ai was entirely unashamed to admit he's greedy. He lolls his head back, pressed to Rin's shoulder. With one hand, Ai reaches up to drape his arm behind Rin's head, into his hair, gripping softly. With the other, Ai reaches behind him to grab hold of Rin's hip, his own eyes fluttering shut. Ai gently rocks his hips to the almost lazy cadence with which Rin strokes him, pressing into Rin's palm on one beat, and pressing back against all of him, shamelessly, in the next.] More of this. Please.
[Ai turns his head to find the shell of Rin's ear; blunt fingernails dig softly into the skin of his hip. Lascivious overtones aside, he's smiling sincerely.] If I can't give you a new problem to bring back to Australia, I don't think I'll be satisfied.
[ Laughter rumbles through his chest. More selfish, huh? A few degenerate messages come to mind, from failed attempts and lovers far worse already than this moment. He’d have to see just what sort of lover Ai thinks he is for himself before he’d believe it. What he knew now is that Ai is pressed into his arms, reaching back for him, thrusting into the hand wrapped around his cock. He heaves a breath, his loins taunted by each subtle thrust. He bites his lip and bows his head, fitting his lips against the nape of Ai’s neck. His large hand moves up to rest at the base of Ai’s throat, giving way for every
If anything, his pleading feeds Rin perfectly, and he growls at the request. Glee vibrates in his chest and shoulders to feel Ai’s erection firm in his hand, delighted to pleasure this man against his palm. He pulls a short length of foreskin back to polish its head. His hand sweeps low to tease and massage his undercarriage.
It’s hard not to resist the genuine laugh that hits when Ai whispers in his ear, distracted long enough to lift his head and see those beautiful eyes. ] Tch, you brat. You’ve always been a problem. [ Well, maybe not always always. Not like this, but certainly long enough. Later, he might consider when it began, but right now, he’s stealing those sassy lips and squeezing Ai tight, body and arousal. ]
Lay down, [ he mutters, stroking his throat. He'll relinquish Ai from his hold easily. ]
[It's evident and clear Rin knew what the hell he was doing with his hands, if the way he titillates Ai's body is any indication. It's hard not to react to each ministration with over-sensitivity; Ai might have the stamina of a work horse, but he probably hasn't lain with another in... Well. Too long by any account, and certainly not enough by other metrics. But he's always been awfully choosy.
Can't help but preen a little when called a problem, though Rin might identify the genuine, somewhat rueful titter accompanying his expression,] News to me. [He tried not to be too saccharine, usually, but Rin is going to be absolutely pelted with questions after this was done.
He leans up into that kiss; presses back against Rin in a very deliberate way. And then Rin's giving him a gentle command, and who is Ai to say no?
He turns in Rin's hold; pauses a moment to capture his lips again, and use the switched proximity to, just for a moment, trail a hand down the length of Rin's abdomen to take his shaft into Ai's palm. Only a few strokes, languid and slow; equal parts gratitude and a promise of patience that will pay off. Has to marvel, for those few seconds, how good it feels to hold Rin in his palm, warm and heady.
His palm trails up Rin's hip, over to his forearm. Gently pries Rin's hand away from his body. Ai walks the remaining few steps backwards to the futon, kissing Rin's fingertips; then his palm; then his pulse.
Sky blue eyes are rapt upon deep crimson as Ai shifts to lay down on the futon, encouraging Rin on top of him by the hand he's taken in his own. And for all his bravado, and his absolute certainty he would rather be nowhere else on planet earth right now than on a futon underneath Matsuoka Rin, it is this proximity in this dim light with this particular man that has his heart taking a leaping jump out of his chest and straight into his throat.
No sense in being shy when Rin's seen all of him, Ai tells himself; it's all he can do to laugh a little, the noise an airy lilt. He leans up a little on his elbow to be closer to the parts he's most invested in: those damning lips, and the cut jugular of Rin's neck. Both are peppered and lavished in soft nips, delivered via smile.]
[ As they kiss, and Ai touches his sex, he growls with approval. Rin had plenty to be proud of, and Rin can't help the deep, primal satisfaction to let Ai feel it at last. He laps at Ai’s mouth once before letting him go.
It’s hard to believe what a romantic Ai is, after knowing him all these years. To kiss his small appendages so affectionately. Even as a hissed tch slips passed him--his usual dismissive verbal tick--he looks so stupid, fucking happy. A big smile tears through his heated cheeks as he shakes his head. Ai, you devil. Encouraging him! If the distance were larger, he’d be chasing Ai to the bottom, full speed, not a second thought in his mind. In moments Rin is on top of Ai, smothering his lips, licking them, dancing their tongues together before those kisses pour over Ai’s cheek and jaw.
His laughter rumbles against Ai’s throat. ] Geez, thirsty. [ Teasingly, he bites at the pulse in Ai’s neck—not enough to leave a mark. Sorry, looking like a slut might be for later.
Despite the hurried begging, Rin simply has to take his time with this moment. He’d give himself Ai’s promised “problem” just as easily. His lips plot a course from his neck down, lower, leaving Ai’s nipple wet after a long lick. Maybe another time he’d spoil these muscles proper, but even Rin had to admit he felt impatience burning in the back of his throat. His abdomen… the hair around his sex… Rin kissed and inched hungrily down Ai’s body, missing the head of his sex to instead brush the shaft against his cheek as he made his way down.
Hovering over Ai’s sex, he glances up, rubies set ablaze. He’s smirking. ] Well?
[It's hard to call Ai's body urgent - he isn't in a rush. But he is eager, and the way his arms come to wrap around Rin's shoulders and up into his hair, the way his legs splay a little to make room for Rin on top of him, the way he kisses into him as if he might let their lips commit nuclear fusion, the way he uses his leverage down on the futon to roll his hips up rather shamelessly all beget his want. Would that he could sink into Rin, and material reality could bend to the burning need inside of him; Ai supposes he can settle for this.
The first noise out of him is a breathy laugh, about to retort. But then Rin's biting his pulse, and the first honest-to-goodness moan rolls off Ai's wet lips at the feeling. A sensitivity for sure, and there is most certainly a small, teeny whine when his neck isn't burning in Rin's wake. At once, fingernails are gently scraping against Rin's scalp.]
God, please, [is his first frustrated exhale, though it's somewhat lost in the air between them. Rin's lips are suddenly escaping south, and every inch claimed lower on his body leaves Ai's diaphragm pulling in air as if he had been deprived of it. He looks down the length of his own body, looks at the borderline lascivious sight of his shaft pressed against Rin's cheek. It isn't Ai's finest moment, the way his jaw is agape, lust overriding his senses and forcing him into an uncharacteristic silence. Rin's stupid little smirk is what tears him back to reality.
Ai throws his head back with his mounting arousal, frustrated for an entirely different reason now; thighs unconsciously tense and sex twitching with his anticipation. Even just this external warmth was killing him. But no, the unfiltered thoughts that come flying off his lips don't begin and end with how badly he wants Rin to just turn his head a little this way--]
It's unfair. [He's gathered some of Rin's hair between his fingers. Tugs only a little to make sure Rin's looking at him.] You have, [pause for coherency. Ai's cheeks go from gently dusted to the colour of Rin's eyes in seconds flat,] --You have no idea how badly I've wanted to see a sight like this. [Or how often he's imagined the reverse, but he might short circuit trying to articulate that much.] Rin-senpai, Please.
[ As Ai tugs his hair, and his attention in turn, Rin’s expression only becomes hungrier. If he weren’t terribly preoccupied with the heated confession, he might beg for more of that himself. Maybe next time. ] You better not look away, then, [ He grins. If Ai has waited so long for this moment, it did seem only fair. Besides, Rin wasn’t sure he could wait much longer.
Not unlike before, his lips start first at the base, kissing the stretch of skin between Ai’s erection and his sack. Another kiss—his lips press into its firmness as he shifts his posture. A low, pleasant chuckle rolls out of him as he adores whatever unique features Ai’s cock might offer: feeling veins against his tongue, kissing whatever marks may be there. Rudely, he offers teeth at Ai's shaft, testing Ai’s patience for his voracious lust and total fixation.
Each little movement brings him higher up the length of Ai’s sex until the bottom curve of head touches his lips, where he finally takes it in hand to lift it upright. Ai has waited this long to see a sight like this, huh? It’s plain that Rin chooses to pose with the erection, just once, just long enough to burn it into Ai’s mind: the head of his cock pressed up against the corner of Rin’s lips. His eyes stare, hooded, back at Ai. His hand massages the length. A living memory for him, for as long as it mattered to them both.
It’s only once he’s satisfied with the performance that he finally gives himself what he wants. Taking the head of Ai’s cock into his mouth never looked so effortless. Fingers pull back the short length of foreskin as Rin starts to suck and roll his tongue around the smooth bell end. Mouth full, he groans with pleasure, the hum of his throat vibrating around Ai’s sex. He can hardly focus on anything, but here and there spares a glance up Ai’s body to see the results of his work. At last his hand withdraws from the shaft, giving him room to take more into his mouth, bobbing his head and working his way lower and lower down the length. Behind the scene, he paws at his own sex, less focused but still delighted. His mouth takes on Ai down to the very last millimeter.
And back up again, he gasps for air, swimming too long in a pool of arousal. He swears under his breath before taking Ai back into his mouth. He tastes incredible. ]
[Really the only drawback of this whole endeavour is that Ai can't reward Rin in real time. Can't reach between his legs, show him how good he feels. Can't return the favour - not yet at least.
His mind truthfully and honestly blows hot-white at the visual Rin supplies to him, the confidence and sultry intent dripping off from his hooded gaze going straight to Ai's cock; Rin can likely even feel the way it twitches, pressed against the corner of his lips. He doesn't moan so much as whine, finally breaking that incredibly intense eye contact to again throw his head back, this time accompanied with an arm over his face, fingers in Rin's hair pulling, and a back arched up and off the sheet. If he had less stamina to spare, that alone might've done him in, his want - whet over several years of longing - reaching a fever pitch.
Rin works at him slowly, the incredible wet warmth of his mouth leaving Ai's own agape with soft noises. The sharp edges of Rin's teeth barely ghost his shaft, but it's enough to make Ai hiss. Embarrassingly, he likes it.] Senpai, [comes the heady chide, a noise that so badly wants to sound annoyed but instead just sounds taken. It's only when Rin works up a tempo that Ai deigns to look down at him again, watching with rapt and almost entranced attention at how his dick disappears between soft lips, over and over. This, too, elicits a soft whine from him.
He's up on one elbow, wanting the purview more than he does the relaxation; wants to feel a part of it. Rin pops off from him for that split second, and in that same cursed breath Ai is shifting his hand from Rin's hair to the side of his jaw, appreciative, thumbing some saliva away from the corner of Rin's lips. Then it's right back to it, white-knuckled in Rin's hair as Rin picks up right where he left off. Ai's head lolls forward, to the side; a breathy exhale, and then his bottom lip is caught between his teeth, staying himself.
Subtly, he rolls his hips against Rin's tempo. Not deeper; not more. But as if he's matching the action for himself, indulging in what Rin so obviously wants him to take.]
You're good at this, [he finally manages on a titter, breathless and worked up. His voice then grows just a touch quieter,] Not-- not too much. [Quieter still, voice fogged with his intent,] It's no good if I can't have my way, too. [By which he means tear Rin apart at the seams, which is hard to do when Rin's working him like that. Ai was greedy: wanted his cake and to eat it too.]
[ Satisfaction rolls through his shoulders. The attention, the response, the chiding. He would hate to admit he’d ever wondered what this encounter would be like, yet finds it’s more than he could have ever hoped for. Curious eyes glance up repeatedly, wanting terribly to see Ai’s heart and lust. His natural smugness betrays a man eager to show off, at least a little. Whether Ai knew or cared, his reactions were reward enough for Rin.
But he did promise Ai the lead, and he realizes he caved to his own heavy desire a little early. Despite that (and despite his full mouth), he groans at the plea, almost unwilling to pull away, and his reluctance shows. Ai's cock tastes heavenly. He pulls away and sits back, one hand catching Ai’s erection as the other touches his own mouth. His eyes stare long and hard at Ai, breathless as they each are, hot with arousal. He grins, his teeth visible behind his fingers. ] Next time, I’ll have you all my way instead. [ A threat and a promise? He’d be crazy to bed a man this handsome only once, he thinks. Never minding his pining heart.
Rin swallows against a coating of precome in his mouth and then, before Ai can move the plot his own way, crawls forward to kiss him. Soft and sweet, this time. ]
[If Rin pushed him to the edge, Ai would hardly give protest; it's only from his own selfishness and greed that he urged Rin to spare him mercy, but Ai was hardly wont for space. All the same Rin acquiesces, and with the absence of his warm, wet heat on Ai's cock, Ai's head is able to break a bit of the fog and regain a modicum of coherency...
... Mostly. The mental image of Rin looking up at him like that still has his heart throbbing in his throat, and will be a snapshot mental image Ai carries with him for a very, very long time.
No words; his eyes are leaden on Rin's, watching him catch his breath, smirk in that way of his. And when he speaks, the smile Ai wears in turn is equal parts stunned and self-satisfied.] You could take as much as you want now, [he intones, cheeks pleasantly flushed,] But I'll hardly be the reason you choose to walk back on that. [Next time. His idiot heart thumps all over again.
He was about to shift up, but Rin's lips are so sweetly on his, a touch of which Ai keens against, tasting himself on Rin's lips. His hands slide up Rin's back, over his shoulders, into his hair; his legs splay to allow their bodies closer, and Ai isn't shy about the way he gently rolls his hips up, languid and lazy, letting their heats press together.
Kisses Rin again, tongue sliding along his bottom lip. Then, Ai's speaking in a breathy tone against the shell of his ear, hands coming down to Rin's hips,] Turn over for me?
[ He’s grateful for the cooldown, if he told the truth. Fatigue gnaws at his jaw. A moment’s respite is perfect to let the waters simmer in his heart and give him more of this. This simple moment, indulging in a fantasy. Naturally he moves closer to Ai, immediately comfortable to press their hips closer, but flushing as their erections touch. As Ai relinquishes his power against gravity and tangles his fingers into Rin’s hair, Rin draws Ai close to his body, arms taut with strength. Maybe he’s showing off a little. He groans and laughs against Ai’s hip roll, shamelessly returning the favour a few times over.
Turn over? Against Ai’s lips, he clicks his teeth at the request. A single hand comes up to touch Ai’s jaw, tilting his head into this long, breathless kiss.
He draws back finally, careful to let Ai ground himself again before he lets go completely. He huffs out a sigh, catching his breath. His cheeks are flushed red as he stares briefly at the nap of Ai’s neck. His gaze flicks back up, a long stare into Ai’s. He laughs, small and subtle; affection tickles his voice as he tilts his head and looks down. What a pretty guy, Rin thinks.
He sits back and pushes Ai’s leg out of the way – actually, he pushes most of Ai out of the way, grabbing enough of the young man to roll him to the side and give himself extra room on the futon. He falls into place, laying himself down on his back with a self-satisfied and pompous expression. He smirks, head nearly unmoving as he glances at Ai. ]

Date: 2025-08-19 05:50 am (UTC)Oh! He sputters, glancing defensively to aside, ] Mikhails's a weirdo, who knows. [ He probably could have articulated himself better to anyone else, under damn near the exact same circumstances, but he's caught otherwise speechless. What a cute reaction. Awkwardly and subtly as he can, he rubs over his heart, wishing the thunder would settle. He can hardly look that sweet expression straight on. ]
I... [ miss it, too, but his brain slams shut. ] Yeah, [ he nods. He misses it terribly. Australia was everything he wanted to chase his dreams, but when he needed something most, it lacked. What is it... c'est la vie. Seems like this keeps happening over and over to him.
He's quiet, again, thinking before he speaks, ] Yeah, uh... Month's not really enough time. [ He's not sure what he's saying suddenly. ] Or... ah... Y'know.
'D be nice... Together.
no subject
Date: 2025-08-19 02:03 pm (UTC)His eyes flit to the next natural movement, which is Rin's hand grasping at his chest. Ai had his composure, even if he had appeared owlish for a moment, but all at once, it is as if there is a lump in his throat he cannot swallow down, and a heat he cannot keep from consistently trying to lick at his cheeks.
Month's not enough time. It'd be nice... Together.
There is something about Rin's disposition in that moment-- uncharacteristically disarmed, unusually... Ai wouldn't say shy, but. The only times he can recall seeing Rin so unsure of the words coming out of his mouth were around his other friends. In these tense moments, it wasn't uncommon for their scripts to be flipped. Rin beside himself, and Ai boldly crossing boundaries to get his points across. Somehow, right now was no different.
Between them Rin was usually the more handsy one, but Ai's senses overwhelm him to the point of breaking ice; he leans across the small distance between them, not so much resting his head on Rin's shoulder as he is pressing his face against his nape. At this proximity, Rin can no doubt feel the heat radiating from his skin... And can also likely feel the way Ai is suddenly smiling, as if Rin didn't just take an arrow straight to his chest.]
That's a month to make memories, senpai. And things don't end just because you have to go away for a little while... This much we're used to already, right? [Ai tilts his head up, just enough to catch the corner of Rin's gaze.] But.
If I was able to give you something to think on fondly when you fly back to Australia, I'd be happy.

Date: 2025-08-19 06:57 pm (UTC)And now… How many times had he felt another man, skin to skin, pressed up against him and felt nothing like this? Yet, with only as much as the layer of Ai’s shirt between them, a furnace blazes at his core. He feels the air of Ai’s voice close to his skin as he speaks.
He rests his head against Ai’s, leaning as much into him as the other had to start. The exhale of his breath shakes, making his nerves so, painfully obvious. A month of memories, huh? Less, really; he still has so much to catch up on before goes. Is it more selfish to deny them both, or to take what he wants?
His fingers twitch. He can’t find words at all within himself, but feels them so, so plainly. It’s just a small distance, isn’t it? To reach across and feel Ai’s knuckles with his fingertips. To hold his hand. He thinks: maybe it doesn’t matter as much, what I want. Thoughts become actions, reaching out to touch Ai’s hand; his own naturally dry after years of chlorine soaking into his skin. ]

Date: 2025-08-19 07:19 pm (UTC)Rin's hand is unreasonably warm, much as his breath feels so unreasonably close. It is as if all at once that undercurrent of electricity he had gleefully ignored and rationalized as anything else all damn day was presently screaming for attention.
It leads him to two truths. One: they were both on the same page, even if Ai can't currently decipher its texts. And two: Rin was stuck in his head.
Ai strokes his thumb against the blanket warmth of Rin's hand; a soothing, almost reassuring gesture, meant as much for Rin as it is Ai himself. And his voice is small; as if any other ghosts weren't allowed to listen to him, only Rin. Feels as though he has to temper his words, lest his latent fluster get the best of him.]
It isn't often I'm left guessing what's going through your head, senpai. [It comes in a small titter, eyes rapt on where Rin's held his hand. Ai presses his temple further against Rin's neck. Softer still,]
Why are you so nervous?
no subject
Date: 2025-08-19 10:10 pm (UTC)He snorts, laughs. Why is he so nervous? ] You aren’t? [ He chortles, squeezing Ai’s hand before finding his words: ] Bet a pretty guy like you gets asked out all the time.
[ Maybe it was unfair to tease Ai to avoid the implications of the question, but he’s just as sure that any step toward that answer would be a step back into his rut. Without words, they’d already both agreed that right here, right now, felt right. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-08-19 11:08 pm (UTC)Of course I am. I don't know what to do when you keep saying things like that. [His tone is hardly accusatory, though if Rin's intent was to tease him to the point of riling him, it worked. His periphery is nothing but beautiful crimson eyes and strands of ruby hair; it's equal parts terrifying and calming.] If anything, senpai, aren't you...? [Courted way more often? Ai could think of at least four of their mutual friends that fit the bill, let alone the droves and droves of women and probably men who would salivate at Matsuoka's feet after seeing him qualify for Australia's championship.]
no subject
Date: 2025-08-20 05:05 am (UTC)"Pretty" didn't cover it. The years had changed his face, Rin thinks as he sees it closer now, staring longer than he dared to before. Ai was young--no, they were both young when they first met; boys still, for only so long. As men... Ai's features had grown and strengthened, but his eyes and smile still shone like a sunny day. His heart warmed any space he stood in. Even that funny haircut sat better on his head than before. Rin smiles behind his own mess of hair. He's beautiful. ]
Tch, [ he grimaces slightly, eyes briefly closed, ] I'm single now, aren't I? [ His vector with his friends is different. There's always passion in competition. Although, reflecting on past relationship attempts, he realizes he's probably a heartbreaker. Probably taboo to bring that up now.... ]
no subject
Date: 2025-08-20 01:41 pm (UTC)At this proximity, Rin can absolutely see the way the thought - vulnerable and so painfully, traitorously devoted - causes pink to kiss Ai's cheeks.
He smiles, a little cheeky, when Rin clicks his lips. Though his words leave Ai's mind spinning all the wheels it could spin. As the thoughts coalesce into something coherent in his brain, he takes a moment to raise his free hand and, surprising himself for a second time that evening, brushing a strand of Rin's hair away from his eyes and behind his ear. For a swimmer, his hair was unusually soft to the touch. He is yet again taken by that strong and unyielding crimson gaze; Ai chooses to break it only as Rin's eyes flit closed for a moment, his own landing upon Rin's lips. Suddenly, his heart is in his throat, and his eyes snap right back up to Rin's.]
I wouldn't have known either way. [Whether or not Rin was single; whether or not he cared about that kind of thing. Ai's suddenly pursing his lips, curiosity getting the better of him, and unwittingly poking at the very thing Rin seems eager to skirt,] But have you? Before? [Why so vague, Aiichirou? He leaves it for Rin to interpret that question as he sees fit.]
no subject
Date: 2025-08-20 06:21 pm (UTC)The hell is this, twenty questions? [ Rin mutters, impatiently. Whatever Ai wanted to know, the specifics are lost on Rin, yet he felt confident he could guess its roundabout conclusion. Rin draws his hand awa from Ai's before stepping away; another careful parry to set himself up for his next move. His lips are parted every so slightly, revealing a flash of sharp teeth. ]
If it’s a matter of experience... [ he mutters, taking action as he speaks: he steps forward, placing his foot firmly between Ai's, and he closes the distance between them with unwavering confidence. While he was not as stunted as Haru with words, they had never been his true strength. His large hand reaches just behind Ai's hip and with strength in his grip, presses their fronts flat to each other. His eyes flash with excitement suddenly--something Ai wouldn’t miss--as he realizes the challenge he's about to put forth. If words were not his strength, a show of physical prowess was his home field.
Expertly, he lowers his countenance to Ai's, pressing their foreheads together, the tip of his nose presses into shallow laugh lines, but his lips... Expertly--as if he had a perfectly honed penchant for shoving his face into other people's--their lips did not touch. The aura of closeness should tingle at Ai’s mouth. ] ...between you and me, does it really matter?
no subject
Date: 2025-08-20 06:57 pm (UTC)It says something that Ai doesn't suddenly miss the closeness and the warmth. There was something about Rin, a static and electric charge that led Ai to believe firmly that he was about to do something reckless. Like watching a fin cut through the water, ever closer.
At once, his purview is again nothing but Rin, but now all of him can supplement the feeling, not just his eyes and his hand. He makes a small noise, airy and sudden, surprising even himself. Stunned at first; he wasn't sure who was going to break tension, but for some reason had hedged his bets against Rin. Ai's endurance had actually done him no favours, as it appears Rin had grown weary of waiting. Realization finally dawns on him when Rin pulls their bodies flush together, forces himself flush to Ai's face in none of the ways that matter, Ai was so close to just--
Rin's bare skin is under his palm, which is a touch that is not shy and might even be described as frustrated, the way it clambers up Rin's stomach and chest and clavicle, his jaw.
He no longer cares if Rin might come to describe him as too much, nuisance, bad play; Ai doesn't so much as lean up to close that infuriatingly small gap as he does pull Rin down, slotting their lips together with a slow-roiling heat. His entire body pushes into Rin along with it; hips down against thigh, chest to chest. Ai breaks their kiss only long enough to catch Rin's gaze in his own, all raw determination and heat - not a single ounce of shyness or uncertainty to be found in clear sky blue.]
The gap has never scared me. I work hard for what I want, and this is no different, [his thumb smooths over the top of Rin's cheek; then lower, padding against his lower lip,] Rin-senpai.
no subject
Date: 2025-08-21 05:59 am (UTC)It takes nearly nothing to draw Rin down that hair's breadth distance between their lips, and more, he buries himself into the kiss with gladness and fervor. His other arm swings around Ai to hold him tight; he’d surely knock the beautiful young man over without the extra care. This moment, this kiss, he feels like he’s chased it for years. Every movement of Ai’s body seemed to want for him and he felt so, so glad.
Rin’s cheeks are dusted pink when Ai draws back, breathless. What Ai says... a strange, yet dopey smile tickles Rin’s lips. It would be just like Ai to say this... the most stouthearted man he knew.
Rin-senpai. He mocks biting at Ai’s thumb. ] You’re such a freaking dork, [ But if his goal was to seduce Rin, it’s incredibly effective. Grabbing Ai’s hips, he pushes him back against the counter, stealing back those hot lips. His knee knocks into the counter between Ai’s legs. Rin’s hands smooth up, catching the hem of Ai’s shirt as he latches onto the bare skin of Ai’s waist. If Ai resists, he’ll stop, but feeling his obliques burns curiosity into Rin. Ai says he can’t put on muscle, but gods, he could feel the strength under the skin. It’s obvious from each inch his hands climb, until at last it this shirt makes no sense to wear. ]
that icon is so perfect
Date: 2025-08-21 02:51 pm (UTC)He didn't want Rin. Right now, small of his back pressed to the countertop, Rin's thigh achingly close between his legs, Ai needed him.
His exhale is breathless already, but his lips are cupped into a smile when Rin mocks biting his thumb,] Please don't call me that when you have your hands on me. [And instantly, he's swallowed whole. Ai could not imagine resisting, and instead Rin would find Ai eagerly meeting every little ministration, as if he could locket the heat building between them to preserve it. Both of his hands come down to Rin's hips, palms heady as they snake toward Rin's backside; Ai is not shy, gripping Rin by the rounds of his ass to pull him forward, force their bodies closer, and force that subtle friction. Ai's whole body keens into the motion, leaving heat where their bodies touch on Rin's upper thigh.
His abdomen muscles twitch under the unfamiliar touch, Rin leaving a trail of warmth in his wake against Ai's body. It's with reluctance he removes his hands from Rin's body to instead help shuck his shirt off - not out of shyness, but because it neglects him those four-to-five seconds of contact. As soon as it's pulled up and over his head, Ai's hands are both on the sides of Rin's nape, touch unusually soft and even gentle.
... Perhaps because the way he rolls his hips this time is anything but subtle, dragging along Rin's thigh until their hips find languid, rolled contact.
He keeps Rin's lips close to his own, but much as Rin had done a few moments earlier, Ai doesn't close the last centimeter; instead, eyes boor into Rin's, imploring him to see all the want and need Ai has to give him.]
i should just rename it "this one's for aiichirou" tbh
Date: 2025-08-22 05:17 am (UTC)Still, he has this moment. As badly as he wants to cave to the unsubtle lust that gripped them, his thoughts are possessed with what’s now visible to him. As one hand presses into the counter behind Ai, he brushes his other over Ai’s jawline, down along his throat, and eventually over his bare chest. His eyes cast down, his admiration evident as he sees Ai, well, differently for the first time. Or, maybe just the first time in a while. No, his body wasn’t built like Rin’s, but that’s a swimmer’s body without question. Rin bites his own lip, knowing already how much effort Ai had to put in to get to where he is today.
He’ll spoil the hell out of this body.
His eyes flit back up, a heavy breath rushing out of him. Just a hair closer he steps, pressing his groin against Ai. Not to grind, but without underwear, behind the comfort of Ai’s borrowed shorts, his passion is unmistakable. His hand hovers heavily at the hem of Ai’s pants, a hundred pound weight ready to drop on at the word. His lips met Ai’s, a soft kiss to match the tender draping at his shoulders. ] Hey… that futon goin’ to waste? [ Ai is going to have to answer between kisses. Rin’s not being helpful. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-08-22 02:15 pm (UTC)And yet given a few years, a few centimeters, a few new notches to his backbone... Ai wonders passively if Rin has thought about this as much as Ai has historically. Would Rin have corralled him against a desk like this, too?
Rin's eyes on him are heavy, and though Ai can say he's finally proud of the body he pilots, the sensation of being appraised and scrutinized still nearly makes him squirm. Rather than acquiesce to the insecurity, though, Ai instead chooses to lean into what is tangible; Rin's hand roams down his body, and Ai presses his chest up into that touch, rolls his stomach against it. He isn't showing off as much as he is trying to encourage more of that out of Rin.
Then he feels it.
For a split second Ai breaks their gaze to look down to where their bodies kiss, and there is just-- something about the visual. Two intentions caught against wrinkled fabric, Rin's hand so painfully close. Ai looks back up to him, and without even realizing it, one of his hands has skirted toward Rin's waist, his abdomen, his pelvic bone...
His breath hitches subtly on the back of his throat, caught between his growing arousal, the tightness in his chest, and the way Rin's lips seem as if they cannot leave him for longer than a half-second. He begins his answer by leaning a little off the counter, entire body flush to Rin's, trying to get him on his heel,] I really thought, [another soft kiss; one of Ai's hands is cupping the side of Rin's nape gently,] you'd sleep here tonight. For what it's worth.
[Tenderly he noses as Rin's cheek; kisses the corner of his lips.] Let me join you.
no subject
Date: 2025-08-24 08:00 pm (UTC)He grins. If any gap in experience existed between them, he doesn’t sense it at all. Ai orchestrated the perfect melody over his heartstrings. It’s only after a long, beloved kiss that Rin relents, giving passage to the young man so they could move to the next room. Behind Ai’s back, he glances down at himself, his arousal pitched high and calves exposed. Ugh. He’ll just step out of these now.
Rin catches the light switch behind them, letting in cool light from outside. At last able to hear over his own pant, it’s plain that the rain has stopped, and in this quiet suburb the moonlight could finally cut through the clouds. Rin closes the distance behind Ai, pressing his bare body against his former classmate’s back and leaning his jaw into Ai’s ear. His arm wraps around Ai’s chest. ] Listen. You think of something you want, just say the word. I’ll give you whatever to think fondly of when I’m away.
[ Sound familiar? The sweet words Ai spoke himself not so long ago. Rin kisses the side of his head. His free hand draws a line across the edge of Ai’s pants before pulling them carefully down; possibly Ai knew before Rin had already ditched the shorts he borrowed. Possibly he’s just now finding out. The curve of his erection follows the cure of Ai’s ass. The moment he’s satisfied with the connection, even if he doesn’t bother to completely remove the pants himself, he grabs the base of Ai’s shaft, testing the waters first before following the length up; eye closed, letting sensation paint the image of Ai’s arousal. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-08-24 08:36 pm (UTC)Options that mean little, anyway, when in his pursuit he is stopped first by watching the lights dim off, affecting the mood in the studio immediately to something more sultry. In the next second Rin is close behind him, arms wrapped to his front, and it is very very hard to miss the soft keen that trails on an exhale out of his nose. Instinctively it leaves Ai to push back against Rin, hips jut to encourage Rin's hands as they push the fabric lower--
Yeah, he's only feeling it now. Rin's bare hardness presently pressed to the slope of his own ass. Though Rin cannot see it where he's wrung his eyes shut, Ai's bottom lip catches between his teeth. All at once, this entire encounter stepped out of his dreams and into a tangible reality.
Rin said something - Ai's mind is fogged over with his lust. Think, Aiichirou! In a flash, what Rin had said clicks, and that alone elicits another shudder out of him.]
I think you'll find I'm more selfish than you are, senpai. [Maybe not holistically, but in this specific instance? Ai was entirely unashamed to admit he's greedy. He lolls his head back, pressed to Rin's shoulder. With one hand, Ai reaches up to drape his arm behind Rin's head, into his hair, gripping softly. With the other, Ai reaches behind him to grab hold of Rin's hip, his own eyes fluttering shut. Ai gently rocks his hips to the almost lazy cadence with which Rin strokes him, pressing into Rin's palm on one beat, and pressing back against all of him, shamelessly, in the next.] More of this. Please.
[Ai turns his head to find the shell of Rin's ear; blunt fingernails dig softly into the skin of his hip. Lascivious overtones aside, he's smiling sincerely.] If I can't give you a new problem to bring back to Australia, I don't think I'll be satisfied.
no subject
Date: 2025-08-25 02:51 am (UTC)If anything, his pleading feeds Rin perfectly, and he growls at the request. Glee vibrates in his chest and shoulders to feel Ai’s erection firm in his hand, delighted to pleasure this man against his palm. He pulls a short length of foreskin back to polish its head. His hand sweeps low to tease and massage his undercarriage.
It’s hard not to resist the genuine laugh that hits when Ai whispers in his ear, distracted long enough to lift his head and see those beautiful eyes. ] Tch, you brat. You’ve always been a problem. [ Well, maybe not always always. Not like this, but certainly long enough. Later, he might consider when it began, but right now, he’s stealing those sassy lips and squeezing Ai tight, body and arousal. ]
Lay down, [ he mutters, stroking his throat. He'll relinquish Ai from his hold easily. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-08-25 03:16 am (UTC)Can't help but preen a little when called a problem, though Rin might identify the genuine, somewhat rueful titter accompanying his expression,] News to me. [He tried not to be too saccharine, usually, but Rin is going to be absolutely pelted with questions after this was done.
He leans up into that kiss; presses back against Rin in a very deliberate way. And then Rin's giving him a gentle command, and who is Ai to say no?
He turns in Rin's hold; pauses a moment to capture his lips again, and use the switched proximity to, just for a moment, trail a hand down the length of Rin's abdomen to take his shaft into Ai's palm. Only a few strokes, languid and slow; equal parts gratitude and a promise of patience that will pay off. Has to marvel, for those few seconds, how good it feels to hold Rin in his palm, warm and heady.
His palm trails up Rin's hip, over to his forearm. Gently pries Rin's hand away from his body. Ai walks the remaining few steps backwards to the futon, kissing Rin's fingertips; then his palm; then his pulse.
Sky blue eyes are rapt upon deep crimson as Ai shifts to lay down on the futon, encouraging Rin on top of him by the hand he's taken in his own. And for all his bravado, and his absolute certainty he would rather be nowhere else on planet earth right now than on a futon underneath Matsuoka Rin, it is this proximity in this dim light with this particular man that has his heart taking a leaping jump out of his chest and straight into his throat.
No sense in being shy when Rin's seen all of him, Ai tells himself; it's all he can do to laugh a little, the noise an airy lilt. He leans up a little on his elbow to be closer to the parts he's most invested in: those damning lips, and the cut jugular of Rin's neck. Both are peppered and lavished in soft nips, delivered via smile.]
Please touch me before I start running laps.

Date: 2025-08-25 05:02 am (UTC)It’s hard to believe what a romantic Ai is, after knowing him all these years. To kiss his small appendages so affectionately. Even as a hissed tch slips passed him--his usual dismissive verbal tick--he looks so stupid, fucking happy. A big smile tears through his heated cheeks as he shakes his head. Ai, you devil. Encouraging him! If the distance were larger, he’d be chasing Ai to the bottom, full speed, not a second thought in his mind. In moments Rin is on top of Ai, smothering his lips, licking them, dancing their tongues together before those kisses pour over Ai’s cheek and jaw.
His laughter rumbles against Ai’s throat. ] Geez, thirsty. [ Teasingly, he bites at the pulse in Ai’s neck—not enough to leave a mark. Sorry, looking like a slut might be for later.
Despite the hurried begging, Rin simply has to take his time with this moment. He’d give himself Ai’s promised “problem” just as easily. His lips plot a course from his neck down, lower, leaving Ai’s nipple wet after a long lick. Maybe another time he’d spoil these muscles proper, but even Rin had to admit he felt impatience burning in the back of his throat. His abdomen… the hair around his sex… Rin kissed and inched hungrily down Ai’s body, missing the head of his sex to instead brush the shaft against his cheek as he made his way down.
Hovering over Ai’s sex, he glances up, rubies set ablaze. He’s smirking. ] Well?

Date: 2025-08-25 02:34 pm (UTC)The first noise out of him is a breathy laugh, about to retort. But then Rin's biting his pulse, and the first honest-to-goodness moan rolls off Ai's wet lips at the feeling. A sensitivity for sure, and there is most certainly a small, teeny whine when his neck isn't burning in Rin's wake. At once, fingernails are gently scraping against Rin's scalp.]
God, please, [is his first frustrated exhale, though it's somewhat lost in the air between them. Rin's lips are suddenly escaping south, and every inch claimed lower on his body leaves Ai's diaphragm pulling in air as if he had been deprived of it. He looks down the length of his own body, looks at the borderline lascivious sight of his shaft pressed against Rin's cheek. It isn't Ai's finest moment, the way his jaw is agape, lust overriding his senses and forcing him into an uncharacteristic silence. Rin's stupid little smirk is what tears him back to reality.
Ai throws his head back with his mounting arousal, frustrated for an entirely different reason now; thighs unconsciously tense and sex twitching with his anticipation. Even just this external warmth was killing him. But no, the unfiltered thoughts that come flying off his lips don't begin and end with how badly he wants Rin to just turn his head a little this way--]
It's unfair. [He's gathered some of Rin's hair between his fingers. Tugs only a little to make sure Rin's looking at him.] You have, [pause for coherency. Ai's cheeks go from gently dusted to the colour of Rin's eyes in seconds flat,] --You have no idea how badly I've wanted to see a sight like this. [Or how often he's imagined the reverse, but he might short circuit trying to articulate that much.] Rin-senpai, Please.

Date: 2025-08-25 08:42 pm (UTC)Not unlike before, his lips start first at the base, kissing the stretch of skin between Ai’s erection and his sack. Another kiss—his lips press into its firmness as he shifts his posture. A low, pleasant chuckle rolls out of him as he adores whatever unique features Ai’s cock might offer: feeling veins against his tongue, kissing whatever marks may be there. Rudely, he offers teeth at Ai's shaft, testing Ai’s patience for his voracious lust and total fixation.
Each little movement brings him higher up the length of Ai’s sex until the bottom curve of head touches his lips, where he finally takes it in hand to lift it upright. Ai has waited this long to see a sight like this, huh? It’s plain that Rin chooses to pose with the erection, just once, just long enough to burn it into Ai’s mind: the head of his cock pressed up against the corner of Rin’s lips. His eyes stare, hooded, back at Ai. His hand massages the length. A living memory for him, for as long as it mattered to them both.
It’s only once he’s satisfied with the performance that he finally gives himself what he wants. Taking the head of Ai’s cock into his mouth never looked so effortless. Fingers pull back the short length of foreskin as Rin starts to suck and roll his tongue around the smooth bell end. Mouth full, he groans with pleasure, the hum of his throat vibrating around Ai’s sex. He can hardly focus on anything, but here and there spares a glance up Ai’s body to see the results of his work. At last his hand withdraws from the shaft, giving him room to take more into his mouth, bobbing his head and working his way lower and lower down the length. Behind the scene, he paws at his own sex, less focused but still delighted. His mouth takes on Ai down to the very last millimeter.
And back up again, he gasps for air, swimming too long in a pool of arousal. He swears under his breath before taking Ai back into his mouth. He tastes incredible. ]

Date: 2025-08-25 09:13 pm (UTC)His mind truthfully and honestly blows hot-white at the visual Rin supplies to him, the confidence and sultry intent dripping off from his hooded gaze going straight to Ai's cock; Rin can likely even feel the way it twitches, pressed against the corner of his lips. He doesn't moan so much as whine, finally breaking that incredibly intense eye contact to again throw his head back, this time accompanied with an arm over his face, fingers in Rin's hair pulling, and a back arched up and off the sheet. If he had less stamina to spare, that alone might've done him in, his want - whet over several years of longing - reaching a fever pitch.
Rin works at him slowly, the incredible wet warmth of his mouth leaving Ai's own agape with soft noises. The sharp edges of Rin's teeth barely ghost his shaft, but it's enough to make Ai hiss. Embarrassingly, he likes it.] Senpai, [comes the heady chide, a noise that so badly wants to sound annoyed but instead just sounds taken. It's only when Rin works up a tempo that Ai deigns to look down at him again, watching with rapt and almost entranced attention at how his dick disappears between soft lips, over and over. This, too, elicits a soft whine from him.
He's up on one elbow, wanting the purview more than he does the relaxation; wants to feel a part of it. Rin pops off from him for that split second, and in that same cursed breath Ai is shifting his hand from Rin's hair to the side of his jaw, appreciative, thumbing some saliva away from the corner of Rin's lips. Then it's right back to it, white-knuckled in Rin's hair as Rin picks up right where he left off. Ai's head lolls forward, to the side; a breathy exhale, and then his bottom lip is caught between his teeth, staying himself.
Subtly, he rolls his hips against Rin's tempo. Not deeper; not more. But as if he's matching the action for himself, indulging in what Rin so obviously wants him to take.]
You're good at this, [he finally manages on a titter, breathless and worked up. His voice then grows just a touch quieter,] Not-- not too much. [Quieter still, voice fogged with his intent,] It's no good if I can't have my way, too. [By which he means tear Rin apart at the seams, which is hard to do when Rin's working him like that. Ai was greedy: wanted his cake and to eat it too.]

Date: 2025-09-04 09:31 pm (UTC)But he did promise Ai the lead, and he realizes he caved to his own heavy desire a little early. Despite that (and despite his full mouth), he groans at the plea, almost unwilling to pull away, and his reluctance shows. Ai's cock tastes heavenly. He pulls away and sits back, one hand catching Ai’s erection as the other touches his own mouth. His eyes stare long and hard at Ai, breathless as they each are, hot with arousal. He grins, his teeth visible behind his fingers. ] Next time, I’ll have you all my way instead. [ A threat and a promise? He’d be crazy to bed a man this handsome only once, he thinks. Never minding his pining heart.
Rin swallows against a coating of precome in his mouth and then, before Ai can move the plot his own way, crawls forward to kiss him. Soft and sweet, this time. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-09-06 01:01 am (UTC)... Mostly. The mental image of Rin looking up at him like that still has his heart throbbing in his throat, and will be a snapshot mental image Ai carries with him for a very, very long time.
No words; his eyes are leaden on Rin's, watching him catch his breath, smirk in that way of his. And when he speaks, the smile Ai wears in turn is equal parts stunned and self-satisfied.] You could take as much as you want now, [he intones, cheeks pleasantly flushed,] But I'll hardly be the reason you choose to walk back on that. [Next time. His idiot heart thumps all over again.
He was about to shift up, but Rin's lips are so sweetly on his, a touch of which Ai keens against, tasting himself on Rin's lips. His hands slide up Rin's back, over his shoulders, into his hair; his legs splay to allow their bodies closer, and Ai isn't shy about the way he gently rolls his hips up, languid and lazy, letting their heats press together.
Kisses Rin again, tongue sliding along his bottom lip. Then, Ai's speaking in a breathy tone against the shell of his ear, hands coming down to Rin's hips,] Turn over for me?
no subject
Date: 2025-09-07 06:41 pm (UTC)Turn over? Against Ai’s lips, he clicks his teeth at the request. A single hand comes up to touch Ai’s jaw, tilting his head into this long, breathless kiss.
He draws back finally, careful to let Ai ground himself again before he lets go completely. He huffs out a sigh, catching his breath. His cheeks are flushed red as he stares briefly at the nap of Ai’s neck. His gaze flicks back up, a long stare into Ai’s. He laughs, small and subtle; affection tickles his voice as he tilts his head and looks down. What a pretty guy, Rin thinks.
He sits back and pushes Ai’s leg out of the way – actually, he pushes most of Ai out of the way, grabbing enough of the young man to roll him to the side and give himself extra room on the futon. He falls into place, laying himself down on his back with a self-satisfied and pompous expression. He smirks, head nearly unmoving as he glances at Ai. ]
