Tell him about this one. [ another raak bubble pops into existence except this one is chibi sized. it runs off after the other one as fast as it can manage on it's stubby little legs. ]
That's probably what he'll look like when you see him, so it's true to form all the same.
[ with all the bubbles created, he slides into the water with a pleased sigh. ]
[ He laughs out loud, bright voice echoing through the otherwise empty bath. He snuggles up beside Aguero as he gets into the water, but he's still looking at the bubble Raak. ]
He's so cute!
[ Said in like, a small and cute way. Will Raak hate that? Probably, but he's going to say it anyway.
As he watches the bubbles walk around, a hand idly begins to gently splash water over Aguero's wounds. Has he already cleaned them? Probably, but he said he'd do it, so he's going to! ]
[ aguero approves, it's always a good time to poke at raak, heheh.
he lets himself get comfortable in the bath, soaking in the closeness that exists between them naturally now. at the gentle splash of water he tips his head, lips curled upward. ]
Are you splashing me or taking care of me?
[ is this an echo or something brand new? both are good, of course. he did take care of his wounds, but he'll probably never say no at this point to tatara doting on him. ]
[ Tatara scoops some water into his hand and lets it wash over Aguero's arms, his eyes wide and innocent (though Aguero would know by now that is anything but an innocent look). ]
Why would I do anything but take care of you?
[ He gently runs a hand over his arm along with the water that washed it. But once his hand settles in the bath water again, he flicks a little at him, aiming for his face.
See the innocent look? Totally not playing or anything... ]
Because you like— [ goading me on, but he doesn't get to finish because he's been attacked!
he was expecting that, but it's no fun to dodge in a situation like this. instead, khun whispers his magic words to create an orb of water above tatara, that explodes like a firework entirely over him. ]
[ Tatara notices his magic words (how could he not, when he's stared at his lips so much), but isn't exactly expecting what comes next. The water explodes over him, and after a brief look of surprise, he bursts out laughing. ]
That's not faaair! [ He leans into him again and sends a bigger splash at his chest, messy, not really bothering to aim for his face. Just to splash back. ] Now you have to get your hair wet, too!
[ aguero takes his weight, dipping back into the water ever so slightly. he could support tatara completely without getting wet at all, but as always he'll reward him for his efforts as he deems appropriate. ]
[ Tatara giggles mischievously, and he cups two handfuls under the water and quickly splashes it all over Aguero's head. It isn't a lot, and some of it spills in transit, so it's pretty inelegant. But what can he do? He's not a wizard! ]
You have to stay still! [ He rests a knee on Aguero's lap and presses his chest to his arm, trying to pin him in place while his hands are busy scooping water. ] It's not fair if you're not as soaked as I am!
Make me. [ his hair does get somewhat wet from the maneuver, but in return khun just shakes his head like a dog to get some of the water from the strands. the look he gives says he knows that tatara can hold him down better than this. ]
But I should probably cut my hair a little. [ his bangs are tidy as always, but now that he's thinking of the future properly he should stop by a salon before they head back to get a fresh cut before returning. ]
[ Make him?! Tatara swats at the stray droplets of water that come flying at him then promptly does exactly what Aguero wants, which is hoist a leg over his lap and straddle him. There's a silly smile on his face as he takes another handful of water and unleashes it over Aguero's head—and again, and again, and again, ]
How short? [ He pauses in his mischief, only to toy with the ends of Aguero's hair. ] I like your hair.
[ the content smile on his lips when he's straddled is as warm as the bath, but like a bubble, it pops when he's doused with water. it's replaced with a pout that eventually gives way to light laughter, because aguero can't help but to find it extremely cute that tatara is so determined to match his magic.
he eases into an amused look when the waterworks are paused, watching closely as tatara starts to play with his hair. ]
About here is where I usually keep it. [ he lifts an arm out of the water to indicate a bit below his chin. its a couple of inches shorter than his hair is now, which is brushing past his shoulder. ]
Edited (my grammar was asleep this am) 2024-06-27 22:15 (UTC)
I didn't trust anyone to cut it initially, and then after that it I was always busy or—distracted.
[ mostly the last one, which his smile belies. thinking back to the start of all of this tickles, especially with the bubbles and the considerable coziness of having his boyfriend on his lap. ]
[ Tatara reads his smile and he mirrors it. He gets what he means and he feels a little proud of himself for being so distracting that Aguero forgets about his hair (which he knows he cares very much bout).
But instead of doing anything reasonable, he decides it's silly man hours (but when is it not, really). He lets his arms slip over his shoulders, leans forward until his torso is flush against Aguero's, and he buries his face into his neck. ]
[ oh, is it silly man hours? aguero loosely drapes his arms around tatara's back, cradling him against his body. ]
Well you know, things like pretending I murdered Yamato's cleaning pet and framing Kurapika for it, wheedling coffee out of everyone else who used the kitchen so I never had to make it myself...
[ he looks down, regardless of whether tatara is looking at him or not with a grin. ]
And falling in love, finding the person who gives my life meaning and makes me whole. He's pretty funny, handsome, and makes the best omurice.
[ He pretended to murder the roomba?! Tatara can't be bothered to turn his head or pull back to look at him, but he's definitely raising a brow at the revelation. He had no idea this happened but it's such a funny revelation.
The coffee part he can see, though. As someone who has definitely given him coffee on multiple occasions.
He swears he can feel his heart skip a beat when Aguero says that. He definitely forgets to breathe for a second. He knows, logically, that they mean so much to each other, but it still fills him with butterflies when he hears it said out loud.
With a little laugh, he kicks his feet in the water. They're probably not high enough to splash any at Aguero, rip. ]
My omurice? [ For fun, he nips at Aguero's neck. ] You haven't even had my soba yet.
Hey. [ he grins wider at the nip, one of his hands starting to trace down his boyfriend's back. tatara is so slim that he can follow the curves of his bones, something that unconsciously makes aguero pull him closer. ]
Are you confessing to holding back on me, Tatara? [ clearly amused, with genuine surprise too. his tone shifts to sing song, the same energy as tatara's laughter. ]
I might need to punish you for that, because I only deserve the best.
[ That tickles. He shivers, just slightly, and willingly lets Aguero pull him closer. So if he tickles him again he'll shiver right up against him and he'll feel every bit of that, and the thought tickles Tatara's gremlin tendencies.
Still, though, he cackles into his neck. He agrees, because Aguero definitely does deserve the best. But you know, as they say, "I'm just warming up." ]
Ooh, I'm scared~ [ Judging by the sing-song tease in his own voice, he's definitely not. ] What's my punishment?
[ aguero doesn't necessarily mean it as a tickle, but now that he's started he can't help but drag his fingers up and down tatara's skin. he dips lower this time, playing around his hips as he hums. ]
You serve me until I'm fully satiated or until you can't continue, nothing less. [ this is why they're here and aguero hasn't forgotten, even as much as he was happy to partake in the silly things. it's also not a punishment he knows, but as his thoughts begin to wander as his boyfriend shivers against him, aguero is vaguely aware that he's in a particular mood even after the nap.
battlelust isn't something he knows about himself, but they'll both learn things today. ]
[ Stop! Stop!! Tatara wiggles in Aguero's hold, reacting to every light touch on his back and hips. He'll give a quiet, breathy giggle too while he's talking, obviously trying not to react too much to the touch, but.
It's pretty obvious he likes it, especially with the way he rolls his groin into him. ]
Aww... What a harsh punishment... [ A theatrical little whine. ] But if you say so...
[ And with that, he sinks his teeth into the soft skin of his neck. ]
[ aguero draws a breath, part gasp as his body reacts to the pressure of their skin against one another. his hand wanders a bit lower, though he also leans back into the wall of the bath and closes his eyes to relish the feeling of teeth against his skin. ]
I do. I love you and I'm going to show you just how much I love you. You can take that much, can't you? You're the one who makes me feel this way, so it's only right. [ already he's losing track of what he's saying, but it's the simple truth in his heart. ]
[ In this day of echoes, Tatara decides to pay his dues to another of their firsts. Like the first night they slept together, he makes a total mess of Aguero's neck, dragging his teeth on his pale skin, sucking hard on what suction he can get, running his tongue over the little marks he leaves behind.
It's hard to say if he's really listening either, but what Aguero says earns him a low hum—almost a groan—and he only pauses to breathe hot against his skin. ]
Whatever you give me, I give back to you. [ Finally, he lifts his head. His face is red and not from the heat of the bath, and his eyes glassy with arousal. He rocks his hips against him, too, to show how hard he is. ] Because I love you just as much.
[ he probably hasn't expressed it in his words, but the way tatara just comes at him with no hesitation or fear drives aguero mad. certainly he can hear it in the huffs of breath from his lips and in the way he presses him closer to encourage the rougher bites.
when tatara pauses he moves a hand to his boyfriend's cock, wrapping his fingers around it's length with a not so gentle squeeze. blue meets coral, predatory and wanting. ]
Yeah, feels that way. [ low and sharp, pleased but so hungry. ] But I'm going to make you love me even more.
Get on me while you're still able to do so. [ they'll run the gambit of all the ways they fit together tonight and he's hardly going to wait any longer. as much as they could do more foreplay, with how aroused they both are, he knows they're both equally impatient. it'll be rough to just start like this, but he's learned this is something else they have in common, another way they push each other beyond what either of them can express. ]
