[ Earlier in the day... a certain backstroke swimming boy might notice his phone is blinking, indicating he has a message. ]

Comments

[showyouthesight]

[ It's dark, but hey, there's candles. Don't freak out okay.

There are probably also a few petals scattered on the floor. ]

[breachedwhale]

[ looking around the cabin ]

Rin...?

[showyouthesight]

[ Is that music coming from further back? Soft music. Ridiculously sappy soft music. ]

[breachedwhale]

[ walking in more, having shut the door behind him, looking around curiously... ]

[showyouthesight]

... Did you bring the matches?

[breachedwhale]

[ holds them up as he turns toward Rin's voice ]

Yes...

[showyouthesight]

[ Walks in from another part of the cabin, holding a little box, as he steps into the candlelight. ]

Good.

[breachedwhale]

[ glances at the box with a curious expression, then back at him ]

What's all this about?

[showyouthesight]

It's called atmosphere.

[ Reaches a front pocket on the outfit he's wearing to draw something out and step closer to Makoto. He slides the stem carefully into Makoto's hair, just behind his ear. If Makoto had any sense for flowers, he'd notice this one sure smells like a lily.

Before Makoto can respond, he pushes the box into his hands. ]

Hold this.

[breachedwhale]

[ blinks and takes said box before he can ask anything, looking down at it curiously ]

What am I supposed to do with this?

[showyouthesight]

Well, open it for one.

[breachedwhale]

I wasn't sure if I was supposed to...

[ since you said "hold this" ... but he's opening it now ]

[showyouthesight]

Tch, you're killing me, Makoto.

[ But inside the box are chocolates. Handmade chocolates even. Their shape is kind of lumpy but some attempt at sculpting was done. ]

[breachedwhale]

[ slowly smiles at that ]

Can I try them now?

[showyouthesight]

Ah ah. I asked you to hold them, right?

[ He reaches for a chocolate and holds it between two fingers in front of Makoto, the candlelight flashing across his parted teeth ]

Tradition.

[breachedwhale]

[ small blush spreads over his cheeks at that, but he nods ]

Tradition now?

[showyouthesight]

You heard me. Now, open up.

[breachedwhale]

[ does just as commanded now ]

[showyouthesight]

[ Slowly feeding him the chocolate. It's very rich. ]

[breachedwhale]

[ closes his mouth around it, kissing Rin's fingers that fed him, sucking softly on the chocolate ]

[showyouthesight]

[ Blushes dark red at that, thankfully hard to see in the candlelight ]

Ah...

[breachedwhale]

[ once he's actually finished the piece of chocolate he gives a small nod of approval ]

Delicious.

[showyouthesight]

Tch, you're impossible...

[ Then, he leans forward to kiss those chocolate-sweetened lips. ]

Good to know they make the cut.

[breachedwhale]

[ leans a little in to return the kiss ]

They most certainly do.

[showyouthesight]

[ Brushes back Makoto's hair with his non-chocolate-stained fingers ]

Anyway, there's something I've been wanting to try... Since I heard about the ball. I just found camp's setup too restrictive. Feel like humoring me for the day?
