IC: Sometime after Rin stops being a plushie

[showyouthesight]

[ Having powered through his uncertainties with the help of Makoto's reassurance, Rin has managed to coax Makoto back to their cabin for some long-overdo pampering. He's set up candles again to help with the relaxing atsmophere and now just leans over Makoto, as he works through a slow massage. He skips his usual back kisses in favor of rubbing lightly at the hair at the back of Makoto's neck and just doing his best to ease Makoto's nerves. ]

[ while he would love to be the one pampering Rin, relaxing with him like this is nice and comforting and it also seems to help Rin being the one giving. so, he won't protest it and lets Rin indulge as he needs. his head rests softly on his arms ]

[showyouthesight]

[ Working on a muscle toward Makoto's lower back ]

You really are tense...

[breachedwhale]

It's hard not to be with everything that went on...

[showyouthesight]

That's why we're doing this. It's something... normal. I mean, it was dumb stuff like this that brought us together, right? It feels like it was ages ago..

[ He trails a finger down Makoto's spine ]

You were pretty awkward about it back then.

[breachedwhale]

[ there's a small laugh ]

I don't think I was the only one being awkward back then...

[showyouthesight]

Your memory must be faulty. I only remember being cool.

[ He rubs at another muscle

[breachedwhale]

I don't remember it like that at all...

[ but lets out a small groan with that nice feeling ]

[showyouthesight]

See? Totally faulty.

[ Kneading that spot some more ]

You know, I think I always knew I liked you. Deep down. I just was pretty shitty at paying attention back then. Especially to myself.

[breachedwhale]

[ he's actually a bit surprised to hear that, shifting to look over his shoulder at Rin ]

Really...? I always thought you only had eyes for Haru back then.

[showyouthesight]

[ Pecks Makoto's nose ]

I always wanted to know more about Makoto too. I just didn't spend as much time beating myself up over those feelings.

[breachedwhale]

Well, I'd say we've gotten to know each other a lot better now.

[showyouthesight]

[ Back to kneading, moving toward the small of Makoto's back ]

I bet there's still some things I don't know.

[breachedwhale]

[ shifts to get back into a more comfortable position now ]

Mm, there's always things to learn about each other.

[showyouthesight]

[ Dancing his fingers across the areas he's not kneading ]

Where do you think you're most sensitive right now?

[breachedwhale]

...You think I'm just going to straight out say that, Rin?

[ because nope. nope, he's not going to be exploited right here ]

[showyouthesight]

[ Pokes a shoulder blade ]

Ass. How am I supposed to figure out which areas need the most attention~?

[breachedwhale]

[ laughs softly ]

If you're looking for the parts that are most tense, I might give that away. But the other makes it sound like you're going to take advantage of my weak spots.

[showyouthesight]

I can't do both?

[breachedwhale]

In that case, I'm not going to tell you either.

[ teases a bit ]

[showyouthesight]

[ Whines: ]

Jerk.

[ Then leans down to blow across the skin at Makoto's lower back ]

But it's good to see you teasing again.

[breachedwhale]

[ makes a content little sound at that ]

The same to you.

[showyouthesight]

It's my duty to cheer up my boyfriend.

[ Working his way back up Makoto's back ]

[breachedwhale]

It's a duty now, huh?

[ he's completely teasing with that ]

[showyouthesight]

Yep. A super serious one.

[breachedwhale]

Is that all it is?

[showyouthesight]

[ Shifting to straddle Makoto's legs ]

I guesss we could call it a privilege too.

[breachedwhale]

Privilege? That's an interesting thing to call it, too.

[showyouthesight]

Mm, I'm grateful to be someone who can manage it. What would you call it?

[ Maybe will lean to press a few quick kisses to those back muscles ]

[breachedwhale]

I don't think I'd give it any special name, if you ask me.

[showyouthesight]

But the mood...

[breachedwhale]

[ laughs softly and then shifts onto his back to look up at Rin, reaching out to pull Rin into a kiss; does that work for some mood? ]

[showyouthesight]

[ Would be making a smart remark about how Makoto's making it a lot more difficult to give him a massage but nah, kissing. ]

[breachedwhale]

[ kissing is always a good thing, especially when his dumb shark went off and turned into a plush for a while ]

[showyouthesight]

[ Well, there are also a lot of buried feelings right now so kissing might ratchet up a notch on Rin's side. It seems Makoto's not the only one worried about losing people. ]

[breachedwhale]

[ makes a soft sound against Rin's lips, it's nice to feel him still here like this, taking comfort in the kiss ]

[showyouthesight]

[ There's intensity but no rush to it, no desperate hunger, just the simple pleasure and solace of kissing Makoto. He breaks off now and then to place some kisses on Makoto's jaw or neck, but he doesn't go for anything lower this time, only follows each kiss with a deep nuzzle. ]

[breachedwhale]

[ brushes his fingers gently through Rin's hair, relaxing from this ]

This is nice.

[showyouthesight]

Well, that's the idea. Not that I thought anywhere beyond the massage.

[breachedwhale]

Sometimes it's nice just go to with the mood of things.

[showyouthesight]

[ Placing another kiss under Makoto's jaw ]

I don't mind spontaneity.

[breachedwhale]

Couldn't tell.

[ lightly teases ]

[showyouthesight]

[ Nips ]

Especially when Makoto's the one being spontaneous. It's an interesting change.

[breachedwhale]

I think I've been pretty good at being spontaneous lately.

[showyouthesight]

[ Moving down to mouth along his collarbone but still keeping things light ]

Mm, why do you think that is?

[breachedwhale]

[ ruffles Rin's hair ]

Finally learning to be a bit more selfish with what I want?

[showyouthesight]

[ Against Makoto's skin: ]

About time.

[breachedwhale]

Some things just take time.
