[LOG]Cavity inducing date (Ohtori and Kabaji)

When: 9 January
Where: the Rec room
Rating: G
Kabaji felt nervous all over again. He didn’t know why. It wasn’t like he hadn’t hung out with Ohtori after their last date. The other teen had been kind enough to play music for him for his birthday like he had requested. But that was a birthday thing...this was different. This was...it was a date. Another date. Only this time, a little closer to where they called home for the moment.
Nervously, he looked around the recreation room again. He knew it wasn’t a very private place and he felt pretty bad for that. But at the same time, he didn’t want Ohtori thinking the wrong thing if he invited him up to his room to watch movies alone. He wanted his friend to feel that he could be together with him without any sort of weird pressure (despite the fact that Kabaji DID have hormones).
He adjusted the blanket he had brought down on the couch and made sure the media system was angled perfectly for optimal viewing. He had even borrowed quite a few different choices from the movie collections his friends had. He didn’t know what sort of moves Ohtori liked...and he didn’t want to put on something he would hate.
Once more checking everything...popcorn...soda.....now he just had to wait for Ohtori.
Ohtori checked himself over in the mirror one last time, he knew it was silly to be stressed about a date. Especially since it was just down in the Rec Room and nothing fancy. Clearing his throat, he nodded and his freshly dyed hair and relaxed slightly more. No one needed to know about that mess, ever. Gathering some sweets from his desk, he pulled on a comfortable hooded jacket and hurried down to meet his date.
When he arrived, he looked around and noticed that everything seemed set up, and that in spite of being a fairly public spot for their second date, it was just the two of them. He smiled brightly at the taller boy and hurried over. “I brought some chocolates I picked up the other day. So- what movie are we going to see?” He settled down beside the other, noting the blanket and smiling a bit more. One blanket. On their date on the couch. Perhaps Kabaji was starting to feel a bit more comfortable and confident with him.
He couldn’t start flailing now. But inside he was. Even if just a hoodie, Ohtori looked so good. He felt really lucky to get to have a second date with such a sweet handsome guy. He forced his hands not to start fidgeting when the other finally showed to sit down on the couch. Instead, he went to the collection of tapes. He didn’t know what Ohtori liked at all. It reminded him just how little he did know about the other. It made him feel bad. Here, he had this little....crush...on the other and he didn’t know much about him at all. He didn’t even know what movies he liked!
“I...I um....” He searched through the pile...”I have....some old stuff....Japanese.....ummm... actioney.... Lord of the Rings.....um....space stuff.(his favorite: 2001) that... thing the twins... watch...with the... martial arts and monsters... um...” He was failing at this already. He felt so lame. “What....movies....do you like?” He finally asked, red staining his cheeks for not finding out beforehand.
Ohtori blinked and chuckled softly, "You are going to give yourself grey hair worrying like that." Of course he was one to talk about things like premature greying when he hid his own with a clever dye job.
"I have actually never seen any of these before...,so what do you recommend for a guy who never had time to watch much of anything?"
He had heard that before. But he doubted it. Plus, he didn’t mind Ohtori’s gray hair. He thought it was very pretty. Just like Ohtori was. He paused a moment longer before deciding. The longest one. Whatever it was. He took the DVD and popped it in before returning to the sofa with the remote. “I guess...that one...it’s got...action and lots...of other things too...” And two sequels and a few prequels...for later viewing, if the other enjoyed it.
“Can...I get you anything?” He asked, reluctant to get comfortable yet. He couldn’t until he was sure all of Ohtori’s needs were attended to.
"Lord of the Rings?" Ohtori glanced at the abandoned case, reading over the summary under his breath as he did. It went beyond long, and into epic. But, he supposed, perhaps it was Kabaji's little way of wanting to spend more time with him. Or was that too sneaky for the shy boy?
"I'm fine. Join me?" He settled. Beneath the blanket and pulled back his hood to reveal a brighter shade is silver than his usual choice of dyes.
Kabaji hesitated a moment longer and then sat down. He tried to make sure there was at least a hand or two of space between them, but he was pretty big. He took up a lot of couch on his own. He shifted to get comfortable and looked over to his companion....was his hair....brighter? Maybe being a child again had done something to his friend? But the color made Kabaji think of angels. Which is what he usually thought of when he thought of the other boy.
“If you need me...to pause...or anything...let me know...okay...” he flipped the movie onto play and settled back a little more.
Waiting for Kabaji to get settled, Ohtori noted the distance and smiled slightly. It was a bit endearing not having to think about sex with the other, but it also made him wonder how upset Kabaji would be if he knew about the others. He would have been upset not all that long ago, right.
"This was a good idea for a date. Are you feeling better now? Less sore?"
He nodded a little. “I...feel alot better now.” He admitted. “I...hate being a problem...for others and I know...I was one...I will have to...do something to make it up...to Zaizen-san...who let me stay in his bed...and to the twins...for helping me too...” He also felt bad that he had made Ohtori worry over him. After all the other, and every other child that day, had to suffer the same accelerated growth. It wasn’t fair that he got to complain about it when everyone was suffering.
“How...about you? Are you....okay now?” He was honestly worried that Ohtori might still be hurting.
"Healer, remember?" Ohtori smiled gently and stretched out his long legs with a pleased sound. "My abilities took a little longer than expected to come back, but as soon as they did-" he held out his hands in a mock magician move, "no pain!" He grinned and then turned to glance to the screen again, curious about this supposedly amazing movie. He had secretly loved the books and had been dying to see it for a while.
He hadn’t forgotten. It was part of what drew him to the other in a way. He was always terrified around people because of his abilities. With Ohtori...he didn’t have to be careful. He didn’t have to treat the other like a glass figurine. He still would though. He would because Ohtori was an angel and he deserved to be treated with such gentle respect. “I...I’m glad...”
He quieted after that and settled in for what he was aware would be a rather long movie. He was sure by the midway point, his arm would end up over the back of the couch and behind that silvery head.
Ohtori leaned forward as the movie began, staring intently as lush green pastures appeared, they were similar to the wilds that sometimes graced the inside of his sketch book when he needed a break from playing or composing music. “Me too. I’ve been able to heal so long I have no pain tolerance now.” He reached out and unwrapped a chocolate, popping it into his mouth, eyes still locked firmly on the screen as the story began to unfold. “Want a chocolate, Kabaji-san?”
It didn’t even take that long. His arm moved because it was more comfortable than sitting there stiffly. If the other asked him to move it back, he would. But he didn’t think there would be a problem, since the other teen was sitting forward a little. He smiled. He had seen this one before and it was more fun to watch the other’s reaction to things. However, then the other offered a chocolate, he pretended he had been watching the movie. He would never recover from the embarrassment if Ohtori knew he had been watching Ohtori and not the band of Hobbits hiding from the Nazguls. “U....Usu...” He stammered, holding his other hand out for one.
Feeling the couch move slightly towards him, the healer could tell Kabaji had moved and placed an arm over the back of the couch behind him. Trusting what intuition he did have about the other, he carefully leaned back into the arm. He had actually learned that he rather enjoyed a little snuggling with Kabaji, who was warm and comfortable to him. Hearing the one word confirmation to his question Ohtori didn’t even peel his eyes from the screen, easily placing a few chocolates onto Kabaji’s hand, accidentally brushing his fingertips over Kabaji’s wrist in the process. His face heated up, but his eyes stayed trained on the rampaging Nazguls. “Just like I pictured them....”
He felt warmth against his arm. Ohtori was...he was!! He blushed and stared intensely at the screen. He was sure if he looked at the other now, he wouldn’t watch any of the movie at all. He only looked down because he had felt the little jolt at the other’s lingering touch. It...gave him goosebumps. “T...thank you.” He managed before popping it into his mouth.
Oh...that was good. That was very very good chocolate. He made a small sound of delight at the treat. He then returned to the epic on the screen. “You....like this?” He didn’t know what that all covered. The date with him? The movie? The books? He supposed that because of his inability to string a sentence together without tripping over his own tongue, Kabaji would just let Ohtori answer however he wanted.
He always worried about leaning against the other, it made him uncomfortable, obviously. Ohtori knit his brow briefly, waiting for a slower moment. He knew the story and knew the plot from his reading, but it was still amazing to see on the big screen.
“Well....I liked the books a lot.” Ohtori’s cheeks heated up, “I had to read them when I finished all of my other reading assignments in a class....and I thought they were pretty amazing.” He popped a chocolate into his mouth and leaned a bit closer against that strong arm. “If you want me to move....you can just say so....it won’t hurt my feelings.”
He now knew something about the other boy. That made him happy. It was strange, that knowing the sort of books Ohtori liked would make him happy. He wanted to learn even more about the other teen. He smiled a little more warmly and wondered if he could find other movies like this for Ohtori to watch with him. The fact that the other moved a bit closer made him even more happy.
“N...No.” He stated softly. “I don’t...mind at all. I...like it.” He admitted. “I...enjoy being close...to you.” He blurted and then decided that the elves were very interesting...and pretty...Ohtori would make a nice elf....
“I’m glad. You’re very warm and comfortable...” Ohtori settled against the other’s side, comfortably situated in the crook of his arm. Chocolate hued eyes remained locked on the screen as the movie continued. “Elves seem horribly snooty.” He pulled his legs up onto the couch and against his chest, hugging them to his body beneath the warm and fuzzy blanket. “I like being close to you too...”
It felt nice to have him there. When the other curled up more, he was tempted to pull him onto his lap...but he knew that would be far far too forward of him. Instead, he just let the other get as close as he needed because he was glad the other felt warm wiith him. He felt warm too. In the heart and...in the face from the blushing he was still doing.
“T...they’re....really pretty though....” he muttered softly. “If you....like...pretty people...” He did...because he liked Ohtori. “But....I...kind of like Sam...best...” Of course he would feel a strong kinship between himself and the largest and most loyal of the hobbits.
After a few moments, Ohtori took another chocolate for himself and placed another in Kabaji’s hand, then returned to resting his head on his shoulder, munching on the sweet. “I suppose they are...” Glancing at Kabaji, he smiled slightly. “Sam? Really? You sort of make me think of Boromir a little bit.” A small smile formed on his lips, “he really wanted to use that great power to save everyone and overthrow Sauron....he did have good intentions....and sometimes just good intentions can be wonderful things...”
Boromir....but that was the guy who...well, it had taken a lot of arrows the size of small saplings to finally put him down while he was protecting his friends. Kabaji had to respect that. He might have tried to do an awful thing...but he had also made up for it in a huge way. He didn’t think he had that in him. Mostly because he would rather not use his huge power....period. Even if he could probably do a world of good for a lot of needy people, just with a few words.
He smiled a little and popped the chocolate in his mouth. It was the best way not to answer because he didn’t want to say anything stupid. He just enjoyed the chocolate and moved his arm enough to bring the other just a little closer. “I...get to have a horn...then.. and we could play music together.” FAIL! That had been utterly moronic and he wished he had stayed shut up.
“I mean, minus the dying thing.” Ohtori added quickly and stuffed another chocolate in his mouth, smiling as Kabaji pulled him completely against his side and beneath his shoulder, cuddling into the warm space and resting against the other boy.
“I could teach you some piano if you want me to. I think you might find it relaxing. Sorry I don’t know anything about brass instruments.” With the exception of what he had learned to add Irie’s saxophone to the band’s repertoire.
He nodded quietly. Minus the dying was a very good plan. And so was this. It felt...right....to be like this. He wondered if Ohtori felt that too but he would never ask. Instead he just shifted so he could sort of rest his chin on top of silvery hair and smile a little. “I....would like that...I hear...that music...can help a person...express themselves....” He needed that badly. A way to openly express himself without words. Words were obviously not his forte. “My.....fingers...won’t be too big?” He held a hand up a little to look at it. They were just like the rest of him. Big and strong and a bit thick.
Feeling Kabaji’s jaw settle in his hair, he smiled and cuddled comfortably against the other, rather liking the affection and gentle contact. Cuddling was something that generally followed after sex, so this no-strings-attached sort of cuddling was really a novelty. “Yeah, music is a great outlet for me too. So.....it would be nice.” He reached out to touch Kabaji’s hand, sprawling the fingers and checking them out thoughtfully. “I think you’ll be fine. We play with just the tips and larger hands with longer fingers can reach more keys...”
Fingers pressed against his and he blinked. He let his hand be...fondled, wondering what Ohtori was looking for. He nodded when the other finally spoke. So he wouldn’t be complete inept because of his size. That was nice. And maybe...if he got good enough he could maybe accompany Ohtori while the other played violin....and maybe pigs would fly....
Unconsciously, he wrapped his fingers around the other’s hand, holding it softly. “Then...I...look forward to lessons...”
When Kabaji took his hand and gently held it, Ohtori smiled a bit more and squeezed it. “So are those formal lessons or more dates with a purpose?” He couldn’t help teasing a bit, still unsure how exactly to take Kabaji’s shyness. Being a bit shy himself, he was afraid of pushing the other boy too far, knowing how uncomfortable it tended to make him. Even if usually the experiences were well worth it: he was going to do this at the other’s pace and just see where it led him.
Kabaji went a little red in the cheeks at the suggestion. He didn’t know what to say. He didn’t want Ohtori mad at him or anything for thinking in such ways. But since the other had already said it... He couldn’t look the other boy in the eyes. The floor had suddenly gotten very interesting indeed. That was really nice carpet. He hadn’t noticed before. “I....would like it to be...the second one.” More dates. Each one made him a little more confident and a little more willing to seek more closeness. That, and he honestly enjoyed spending time alone with Ohtori.
“...I wouldn’t mind that.” The corners of his lips curved just slightly, not that Kabaji would notice while admiring the carpet. Ohtori was amused the other boy seemed to be reading off of his shy boy play book. Giving the other hand a gentle squeeze, he continued to stare at the television screen. “I kind of prefer that....actually.”
He looked up just slightly. Ohtori would really like to have that? He smiled slowly. “Then...we’ll have to decide...on times...and everything...” Maybe after the movie, because he didn’t want to distract the other boy from the Mines of Moria.
“Okay.” After the Mines of Moria, Ohtori thought, snuggled comfortably against his date and watching the movie intently. He hated that he was probably being a bit rude, not talking to his date or anything, but rather watching the movie with rapt attention. He still had yet to even relinquish his grasp on Kabaji’s larger hand and was absently stroking the palm with his thumb.
He didn’t mind the silence. It was not uncomfortable, mostly because Kabaji himself was definitely not a talkative person. Instead, he enjoyed the small intimate closeness and felt the little goosebumps rise on the back of his neck every time Ohtori’s thumb moved a little. He supposed it was just because the unconscious act make him feel happy and warm and...wanted, even if just as a leaning post while the movie played. But it also meant that his hands weren’t free to snatch a chocolate...he wouldn’t let go and he wasn’t going to move his arm as it was a pillow. He wanted one though...but he wasn’t good at voicing his wants. “O.....ohtori....” He whispered, trying not to ruin an intensely emotional moment upon the screen. “May I...have another...chocolate?”
Hearing the other say his name, Ohtori looked up at his date and smiled faintly as he was asked for a chocolate, he was about to say that he could help himself, he had brought the chocolates to be shared, but then he realized he was resting on one of Kabaji’s arms and the other hand was trapped in his own. “Ah. Okay.” He released Kabaji’s hand and reached down to grab a chocolate to offer the other male. “Here you are.”
He sort of missed the hand when it was removed. But he felt...a little bolder. Probably, it would be the bravest he would be all evening. Instead of taking it, he shifted so that he could lean and eat it out of Ohtori’s fingers, cheeks a brilliant crimson before he had even finished leaning halfway. He managed it and went back upright. Oh yes...he was NOT doing THAT again. “S....sorry...” He now marveled at the ceiling tiles....one....two...
Well...that was different. Ohtori’s eyes widened slightly as Kabaji ate the sweet from his fingertips rather than taking it. He cleared his throat as the other boy leaned back and stared at the ceiling. For the moment, at least, the movie was forgotten in favor of looking at the larger student curiously. After a second, he leaned up to kiss him on the cheek before turning back to the movie. “No problem....”
Was he mad? Had he done something wrong? Was it too much too soon? Oh god....how was he going to make this up to Ohtori....how was he going to....there was a small kiss to his cheek and he went even more red. He had gotten a kiss for that. Maybe it was...okay to be more bold? He didn’t want to attempt it again though. Just enjoy the chocolate he had gotten and try to return his attention to the screen, free hand sliding, resting so that it was open for holding again, if the other wished. There would indeed be no more overly brazen acts from Kabaji this date.
Sensing Kabaji being nervous, Ohtori gently placed his hand back in Kabaji’s and squeezed it gently, keeping his eyes on the movie still, but a small smile playing on his face. “I won’t bite. If you wanted to....ever try anything.” He blushed a bit, knowing that it probably sounded a bit forward. “I mean...dating is about trying things too.”
He wrapped his hand around Ohtori’s again. This is was more than okay with. The offer....it was...he didn’t even know what to say about that. “I....know you won’t.... I just....” He didn’t want to ruin things. He wanted Ohtori to keep liking him and wanting to go out on dates with him. He didn’t want to do anything stupid that might make him hate him. “I....” He swallowed a little and shook his head. He couldn’t say that. “I....will remember that...” He finished.
Smiling faintly, Ohtori lifted the hand to his lips and kissed it gently before settling it back down between them where it had been before. He used his free hand to get a chocolate and pop it into his mouth before offering up another to Kabaji, leaving the method of eating to Kabaji’s own discretion. “Don’t worry about upsetting me or anything like that.” His face heated up a bit, “I’m not going to break or get upset or anything.”
Lips pressed his knuckles and he was sure he had gone red all the way down to his toes. Something about that was just terribly sweet to him. Especially since Ohtori seemed to want him to know that he wasn’t going to be upset. Something he was terribly worried about. He valued Ohtori too much to ever want to upset him. “I.....know you won’t...” Still, he was aware that healer or not, Ohtori didn’t need to feel of pain of being upset. If he could, he would spare the other all the pain he could, of any sort. He wanted to....protect the pale teen....
“But....I...I’ll still...warn you...or something...when I want to...try something....though....you can...” Ohtori had said it so well and so easily. He didn’t know what was so hard about saying it back. “be the same...with me...” Because it was only fair that if Ohtori wanted to try things....he should be willing to give the other boy the exact consideration he was being given.
But what things were there left to try? He had pretty much done it all, hadn’t he? A slightly guilty blush formed on his face, and he returned his attention immediately to the screen. “...you don’t have to warn me. Really. I won’t make you sick. I’ve gotten better about controlling that part of my mutation.” Though he was still easy to startle, he seemed to be able to keep from sickening his friends or classmates anymore. “And....like I told you when we uhm...met....I’m passive anyway.”
He didn’t know that the blush was a guilty one. He thought maybe it was because Ohtori was just as shy and embarrassed as he was when it came to muddling his way through this...whatever this was. “I...still think...you should be warned...it...it’s not fair...to just...spring things...on you.” And not just because of any sickness. It was because he wanted the paler teen to what to as well. Besides, he was passive as well. He wondered if that’s why they did so well. Because they were both slow. “That’s why....I haven’t....pulled you on my lap or....” Or tried to kiss him. That and a kiss would interrupt what was left of the movie.
Ohtori smiled slightly at the explanation and kissed Kabaji's hand again. Two passive guys trying to date....Kabaji would die a virgin. The only reason he was able to top Atsushi was the older boy's ability to be in charge no matter what position. "Did you want to?"
He probably would, though not for those reasons. No one would something that sizable...there and he was a bit big to go the other way. He couldn’t bottom, he couldn’t top. But he could do this. He could slide his hands away from their spaces to put them around the other’s middle. With utter care and gentleness he lifted and placed the other on his lap. He could easily lift Ohtori and he didn’t have worry about hurting him, but he still treated him as if he were fine china. That was his answer to the question. He DID want to.
He was always surprised how strong and how gentle Kabaji could be, especially when he was so effortlessly lifted onto the other boy's lap. Settling in and leaning back do he was flush against the other boy, he cuddled in and tilted his head enough to kiss Kabaji's cheek as a reward. From his new perch, he tugged the blanket over them to share the heat and glanced ahead, trying to ignore those hormonal thoughts that raised a blush back to his cheek. "Thanks."
Hugely powerful arms wrapped around the other. This was comfortable. Very much so. It was not like hugging anyone else. Holding Ohtori like this was different. He couldn’t say why that was...it just was. Even the little kiss was nice. “Y...you’re welcome...Let me know....if you get uncomfortable.” He knew he wouldn’t be. Ohtori wasn’t heavy to him at all. He could stay like this the short rest of the movie without any concerns.
Feeling those arms around him, he shifted slightly so he could rest his cheek on a muscled chest and shoulder but still watch out the corner of one eye, he had already decided he would purchase this movie to watch over and over again. Kabaji was always worrying about being uncomfortable, which confused Ohtori, who found comfort in his strength. "I like it here." he murmured softly, resting his arms around the ones wrapped around him.
So his chest made a good pillow. He hadn’t thought he would suffice as such. He wasn’t soft. But Ohtori seemed to enjoy it. “I...” He rested his chin on that pale hair again. “Like....being your chair...”
"We've been on two dates and you did save me....I can't imagine chair is exactly what I would call you." Not that he had any idea what to call him anyway.... Boyfriend wasn't it....he was still sleeping with others....
He didn’t care if Ohtori did call him a chair. He would be a chair for the other any time. “I...I wanted to...do all of that...” He lightly nuzzled into silver hair. “I...told my parents.... about you...” he stated, knowing Ohtori knew about the problems he had had. “I told them...I...had my first date...with an angel...only Sena believed me... she suggested...a bunch of...things...like ice skating...for dates...do you...ice skate?” He wouldn’t ask about the other stuff she had suggested. It was straight from those awful romantic comedies she loved.
Jumping at the mention of parents first, he glanced over at the other male, the epic adventure forgotten in favor of shock. The shy, home schooled boy with over protective parents had mentioned their date!? And his parents didn't believe him?! Ohtori took a deep breath as he pondered the best way to handle the various issues he found in this simple statement.
"I ah- I am sorry your parents didn't believe you....and I actually have never tried ice skating." The guilty blush returned, " and I am not an angel... At all."
He nodded. “I...don’t think....they think I’m...capable...I...” He had always been shy and even more so around the people he liked. Becoming a shut in had just made that worse. “I wanted them to know though....I...I wanted to tell them...to show them...I was happy here...” That he could have those sort of feelings. These sort of feelings he was feeling right now.
“I...I think you are...” Nothing would change that thought either. “And...maybe....we can...try ice skating...I...I’m sure the ice would...hold me...”
"Well- at least they let you stay...." even if he did think it was sort of messed up having parents who could not believe he was happy and dating someone. "I....actually an far from it." Ohtori mumbled, still half watching the movie, "Ok- if you want to try it, we can."
He wouldn’t argue with Ohtori about this. He thought the other was an angel and that was all there was to it. Ohtori was a sweet and kind and beautiful person. He didn’t think anyone he knew fit the description of angel better than the other boy. He just decided not to touch the subject any more since it seemed to be making his classmate self conscious.
“Then...maybe...Feburary is the coldest month, right? Maybe then...so we have skates by then.”
“Yeah. Sounds good. I’ll look into ordering online or something....” He had a feeling the other male had pretty big feet to match and he did not want him to suffer in uncomfortable skates on their date. “Just promise you won’t laugh too much when I fall on my butt and can’t get up again.”
He kissed the top of Ohtori’s head and laughed softly. “I won’t laugh...I’ll probably...fall down too.” But the falling might also mean some clinging to each other. It would be fun and it would be a nice date. Maybe...he could schedule it for Valentine’s day. “So....I guess...that’s another date...” He was getting to have so many now. It was nice.
Smiling at the gentle kiss in his hair, Ohtori laughed as well, the idea of seeing the two of them slipping and sliding about, falling down and colliding was just too funny. Grinning against the other’s chest, he patted it affectionately. “Sure sounds like it. Hopefully we can have a few more between now and February though too.”
He blushed a little at the petting. He knew Ohtori was aware of how strong he was. The other had been against his massive chest a number of times. He nodded. He hoped so too. He knew it might be selfish, but he wanted to have as many dates as he could between now and then. And maybe....maybe he could get up the courage to give the boy a proper kiss.
Ohtori pouted a bit as the movie started toward the end, he was enjoying the warmth in the other's lap and the way the large blanket fit around their bodies. Eventually the movie would end and their date would be over.
He pulled the other closer as the movie concluded, with the obvious setup for the next in the trilogy. He didn’t turn it off and let the credits play all the way through. Then he just sat there, Ohtori in his lap in the quiet of the room. “So....do you think you want to watch the second and third ones...sometime?”
Feeling Kabaji pull him closer, Ohtori moved to carefully turn so he could face the other a bit better, trying not to think of the fact he was straddling the larger boy in a fairly suggestive position. Surely Kabaji would not think of it being anything too bad, right? "I'd like that a lot."
He didn’t think anything of it at all. Nothing. Instead, he just shifted his hands to carefully placed one of them on Ohtori’s back. He looked so sweet and lightly cupped his face with the other. “And....” he wondered if it was too forward or too soon....”Could I...call you....Choutarou?” Because to him using first names was like kissing. You only did it to people you were exceptionally close to.
Smiling and resting his cheek in the large hand on his face, Ohtori looked up into Kabaji’s deep and soulful eyes, waiting politely for him to finish the question. While he had expected it to be a question about a kiss or something, it was about using his name. Nodding just slightly, he rested his hands on Kabaji’s shoulders. “Yes, you can. Should I call you Munehiro?”
He gently stroked the other teen’s cheek with his fingertips. He smiled a little more and nodded. “Usu... I...” He leaned in a little to steal a small kiss, blushing so red. “I would like that. You can...if you want.”
Ohtori’s cheeks flushed at the sweet and innocent little kiss, smiling a bit more, he leaned forward again to give the other boy a slower, slightly more firm kiss. “Okay then, Munehiro.”
That kiss made his heart rush and his cheeks flush. He enjoyed it a lot and even kissed back, because the last time, it had been an accident and this time, it wasn’t one at all. Second date, more proper kiss. That seemed like a good slow paced for him. He finally pulled away with a flush and hugged the pale boy even closer. This was a great way to end a date. He decided that as he held the other teen warmly.
“Movie’s over.” Ohtori mumbled against Kabaji’s neck, rather enjoying being held so close and kept so warm in the other’s arms. It was a good safe place, and the kiss had been just right for the tone of the night.
He sighed. He supposed Ohtori was right. The movie was over. He also supposed that meant that their date was over. He sighed again and nodded. “Usu...it is...I guess that means...the date is over too.” He didn’t let go yet. He didn’t want to. He wanted to be close just a little bit longer.
When Kabaji didn't let go, Ohtori smiled and cuddled up. "The date doesn't have to be over....all I said was the movie was."
He nodded a little and cuddled the other close. He didn’t know what else dates did together, but he was okay with this. More than okay with this. “Usu.” he answered and cuddled the other closer.

Kabaji felt nervous all over again. He didn’t know why. It wasn’t like he hadn’t hung out with Ohtori after their last date. The other teen had been kind enough to play music for him for his birthday like he had requested. But that was a birthday thing...this was different. This was...it was a date. Another date. Only this time, a little closer to where they called home for the moment.
Nervously, he looked around the recreation room again. He knew it wasn’t a very private place and he felt pretty bad for that. But at the same time, he didn’t want Ohtori thinking the wrong thing if he invited him up to his room to watch movies alone. He wanted his friend to feel that he could be together with him without any sort of weird pressure (despite the fact that Kabaji DID have hormones).
He adjusted the blanket he had brought down on the couch and made sure the media system was angled perfectly for optimal viewing. He had even borrowed quite a few different choices from the movie collections his friends had. He didn’t know what sort of moves Ohtori liked...and he didn’t want to put on something he would hate.
Once more checking everything...popcorn...soda.....now he just had to wait for Ohtori.
Ohtori checked himself over in the mirror one last time, he knew it was silly to be stressed about a date. Especially since it was just down in the Rec Room and nothing fancy. Clearing his throat, he nodded and his freshly dyed hair and relaxed slightly more. No one needed to know about that mess, ever. Gathering some sweets from his desk, he pulled on a comfortable hooded jacket and hurried down to meet his date.
When he arrived, he looked around and noticed that everything seemed set up, and that in spite of being a fairly public spot for their second date, it was just the two of them. He smiled brightly at the taller boy and hurried over. “I brought some chocolates I picked up the other day. So- what movie are we going to see?” He settled down beside the other, noting the blanket and smiling a bit more. One blanket. On their date on the couch. Perhaps Kabaji was starting to feel a bit more comfortable and confident with him.
He couldn’t start flailing now. But inside he was. Even if just a hoodie, Ohtori looked so good. He felt really lucky to get to have a second date with such a sweet handsome guy. He forced his hands not to start fidgeting when the other finally showed to sit down on the couch. Instead, he went to the collection of tapes. He didn’t know what Ohtori liked at all. It reminded him just how little he did know about the other. It made him feel bad. Here, he had this little....crush...on the other and he didn’t know much about him at all. He didn’t even know what movies he liked!
“I...I um....” He searched through the pile...”I have....some old stuff....Japanese.....ummm... actioney.... Lord of the Rings.....um....space stuff.(his favorite: 2001) that... thing the twins... watch...with the... martial arts and monsters... um...” He was failing at this already. He felt so lame. “What....movies....do you like?” He finally asked, red staining his cheeks for not finding out beforehand.
Ohtori blinked and chuckled softly, "You are going to give yourself grey hair worrying like that." Of course he was one to talk about things like premature greying when he hid his own with a clever dye job.
"I have actually never seen any of these before...,so what do you recommend for a guy who never had time to watch much of anything?"
He had heard that before. But he doubted it. Plus, he didn’t mind Ohtori’s gray hair. He thought it was very pretty. Just like Ohtori was. He paused a moment longer before deciding. The longest one. Whatever it was. He took the DVD and popped it in before returning to the sofa with the remote. “I guess...that one...it’s got...action and lots...of other things too...” And two sequels and a few prequels...for later viewing, if the other enjoyed it.
“Can...I get you anything?” He asked, reluctant to get comfortable yet. He couldn’t until he was sure all of Ohtori’s needs were attended to.
"Lord of the Rings?" Ohtori glanced at the abandoned case, reading over the summary under his breath as he did. It went beyond long, and into epic. But, he supposed, perhaps it was Kabaji's little way of wanting to spend more time with him. Or was that too sneaky for the shy boy?
"I'm fine. Join me?" He settled. Beneath the blanket and pulled back his hood to reveal a brighter shade is silver than his usual choice of dyes.
Kabaji hesitated a moment longer and then sat down. He tried to make sure there was at least a hand or two of space between them, but he was pretty big. He took up a lot of couch on his own. He shifted to get comfortable and looked over to his companion....was his hair....brighter? Maybe being a child again had done something to his friend? But the color made Kabaji think of angels. Which is what he usually thought of when he thought of the other boy.
“If you need me...to pause...or anything...let me know...okay...” he flipped the movie onto play and settled back a little more.
Waiting for Kabaji to get settled, Ohtori noted the distance and smiled slightly. It was a bit endearing not having to think about sex with the other, but it also made him wonder how upset Kabaji would be if he knew about the others. He would have been upset not all that long ago, right.
"This was a good idea for a date. Are you feeling better now? Less sore?"
He nodded a little. “I...feel alot better now.” He admitted. “I...hate being a problem...for others and I know...I was one...I will have to...do something to make it up...to Zaizen-san...who let me stay in his bed...and to the twins...for helping me too...” He also felt bad that he had made Ohtori worry over him. After all the other, and every other child that day, had to suffer the same accelerated growth. It wasn’t fair that he got to complain about it when everyone was suffering.
“How...about you? Are you....okay now?” He was honestly worried that Ohtori might still be hurting.
"Healer, remember?" Ohtori smiled gently and stretched out his long legs with a pleased sound. "My abilities took a little longer than expected to come back, but as soon as they did-" he held out his hands in a mock magician move, "no pain!" He grinned and then turned to glance to the screen again, curious about this supposedly amazing movie. He had secretly loved the books and had been dying to see it for a while.
He hadn’t forgotten. It was part of what drew him to the other in a way. He was always terrified around people because of his abilities. With Ohtori...he didn’t have to be careful. He didn’t have to treat the other like a glass figurine. He still would though. He would because Ohtori was an angel and he deserved to be treated with such gentle respect. “I...I’m glad...”
He quieted after that and settled in for what he was aware would be a rather long movie. He was sure by the midway point, his arm would end up over the back of the couch and behind that silvery head.
Ohtori leaned forward as the movie began, staring intently as lush green pastures appeared, they were similar to the wilds that sometimes graced the inside of his sketch book when he needed a break from playing or composing music. “Me too. I’ve been able to heal so long I have no pain tolerance now.” He reached out and unwrapped a chocolate, popping it into his mouth, eyes still locked firmly on the screen as the story began to unfold. “Want a chocolate, Kabaji-san?”
It didn’t even take that long. His arm moved because it was more comfortable than sitting there stiffly. If the other asked him to move it back, he would. But he didn’t think there would be a problem, since the other teen was sitting forward a little. He smiled. He had seen this one before and it was more fun to watch the other’s reaction to things. However, then the other offered a chocolate, he pretended he had been watching the movie. He would never recover from the embarrassment if Ohtori knew he had been watching Ohtori and not the band of Hobbits hiding from the Nazguls. “U....Usu...” He stammered, holding his other hand out for one.
Feeling the couch move slightly towards him, the healer could tell Kabaji had moved and placed an arm over the back of the couch behind him. Trusting what intuition he did have about the other, he carefully leaned back into the arm. He had actually learned that he rather enjoyed a little snuggling with Kabaji, who was warm and comfortable to him. Hearing the one word confirmation to his question Ohtori didn’t even peel his eyes from the screen, easily placing a few chocolates onto Kabaji’s hand, accidentally brushing his fingertips over Kabaji’s wrist in the process. His face heated up, but his eyes stayed trained on the rampaging Nazguls. “Just like I pictured them....”
He felt warmth against his arm. Ohtori was...he was!! He blushed and stared intensely at the screen. He was sure if he looked at the other now, he wouldn’t watch any of the movie at all. He only looked down because he had felt the little jolt at the other’s lingering touch. It...gave him goosebumps. “T...thank you.” He managed before popping it into his mouth.
Oh...that was good. That was very very good chocolate. He made a small sound of delight at the treat. He then returned to the epic on the screen. “You....like this?” He didn’t know what that all covered. The date with him? The movie? The books? He supposed that because of his inability to string a sentence together without tripping over his own tongue, Kabaji would just let Ohtori answer however he wanted.
He always worried about leaning against the other, it made him uncomfortable, obviously. Ohtori knit his brow briefly, waiting for a slower moment. He knew the story and knew the plot from his reading, but it was still amazing to see on the big screen.
“Well....I liked the books a lot.” Ohtori’s cheeks heated up, “I had to read them when I finished all of my other reading assignments in a class....and I thought they were pretty amazing.” He popped a chocolate into his mouth and leaned a bit closer against that strong arm. “If you want me to move....you can just say so....it won’t hurt my feelings.”
He now knew something about the other boy. That made him happy. It was strange, that knowing the sort of books Ohtori liked would make him happy. He wanted to learn even more about the other teen. He smiled a little more warmly and wondered if he could find other movies like this for Ohtori to watch with him. The fact that the other moved a bit closer made him even more happy.
“N...No.” He stated softly. “I don’t...mind at all. I...like it.” He admitted. “I...enjoy being close...to you.” He blurted and then decided that the elves were very interesting...and pretty...Ohtori would make a nice elf....
“I’m glad. You’re very warm and comfortable...” Ohtori settled against the other’s side, comfortably situated in the crook of his arm. Chocolate hued eyes remained locked on the screen as the movie continued. “Elves seem horribly snooty.” He pulled his legs up onto the couch and against his chest, hugging them to his body beneath the warm and fuzzy blanket. “I like being close to you too...”
It felt nice to have him there. When the other curled up more, he was tempted to pull him onto his lap...but he knew that would be far far too forward of him. Instead, he just let the other get as close as he needed because he was glad the other felt warm wiith him. He felt warm too. In the heart and...in the face from the blushing he was still doing.
“T...they’re....really pretty though....” he muttered softly. “If you....like...pretty people...” He did...because he liked Ohtori. “But....I...kind of like Sam...best...” Of course he would feel a strong kinship between himself and the largest and most loyal of the hobbits.
After a few moments, Ohtori took another chocolate for himself and placed another in Kabaji’s hand, then returned to resting his head on his shoulder, munching on the sweet. “I suppose they are...” Glancing at Kabaji, he smiled slightly. “Sam? Really? You sort of make me think of Boromir a little bit.” A small smile formed on his lips, “he really wanted to use that great power to save everyone and overthrow Sauron....he did have good intentions....and sometimes just good intentions can be wonderful things...”
Boromir....but that was the guy who...well, it had taken a lot of arrows the size of small saplings to finally put him down while he was protecting his friends. Kabaji had to respect that. He might have tried to do an awful thing...but he had also made up for it in a huge way. He didn’t think he had that in him. Mostly because he would rather not use his huge power....period. Even if he could probably do a world of good for a lot of needy people, just with a few words.
He smiled a little and popped the chocolate in his mouth. It was the best way not to answer because he didn’t want to say anything stupid. He just enjoyed the chocolate and moved his arm enough to bring the other just a little closer. “I...get to have a horn...then.. and we could play music together.” FAIL! That had been utterly moronic and he wished he had stayed shut up.
“I mean, minus the dying thing.” Ohtori added quickly and stuffed another chocolate in his mouth, smiling as Kabaji pulled him completely against his side and beneath his shoulder, cuddling into the warm space and resting against the other boy.
“I could teach you some piano if you want me to. I think you might find it relaxing. Sorry I don’t know anything about brass instruments.” With the exception of what he had learned to add Irie’s saxophone to the band’s repertoire.
He nodded quietly. Minus the dying was a very good plan. And so was this. It felt...right....to be like this. He wondered if Ohtori felt that too but he would never ask. Instead he just shifted so he could sort of rest his chin on top of silvery hair and smile a little. “I....would like that...I hear...that music...can help a person...express themselves....” He needed that badly. A way to openly express himself without words. Words were obviously not his forte. “My.....fingers...won’t be too big?” He held a hand up a little to look at it. They were just like the rest of him. Big and strong and a bit thick.
Feeling Kabaji’s jaw settle in his hair, he smiled and cuddled comfortably against the other, rather liking the affection and gentle contact. Cuddling was something that generally followed after sex, so this no-strings-attached sort of cuddling was really a novelty. “Yeah, music is a great outlet for me too. So.....it would be nice.” He reached out to touch Kabaji’s hand, sprawling the fingers and checking them out thoughtfully. “I think you’ll be fine. We play with just the tips and larger hands with longer fingers can reach more keys...”
Fingers pressed against his and he blinked. He let his hand be...fondled, wondering what Ohtori was looking for. He nodded when the other finally spoke. So he wouldn’t be complete inept because of his size. That was nice. And maybe...if he got good enough he could maybe accompany Ohtori while the other played violin....and maybe pigs would fly....
Unconsciously, he wrapped his fingers around the other’s hand, holding it softly. “Then...I...look forward to lessons...”
When Kabaji took his hand and gently held it, Ohtori smiled a bit more and squeezed it. “So are those formal lessons or more dates with a purpose?” He couldn’t help teasing a bit, still unsure how exactly to take Kabaji’s shyness. Being a bit shy himself, he was afraid of pushing the other boy too far, knowing how uncomfortable it tended to make him. Even if usually the experiences were well worth it: he was going to do this at the other’s pace and just see where it led him.
Kabaji went a little red in the cheeks at the suggestion. He didn’t know what to say. He didn’t want Ohtori mad at him or anything for thinking in such ways. But since the other had already said it... He couldn’t look the other boy in the eyes. The floor had suddenly gotten very interesting indeed. That was really nice carpet. He hadn’t noticed before. “I....would like it to be...the second one.” More dates. Each one made him a little more confident and a little more willing to seek more closeness. That, and he honestly enjoyed spending time alone with Ohtori.
“...I wouldn’t mind that.” The corners of his lips curved just slightly, not that Kabaji would notice while admiring the carpet. Ohtori was amused the other boy seemed to be reading off of his shy boy play book. Giving the other hand a gentle squeeze, he continued to stare at the television screen. “I kind of prefer that....actually.”
He looked up just slightly. Ohtori would really like to have that? He smiled slowly. “Then...we’ll have to decide...on times...and everything...” Maybe after the movie, because he didn’t want to distract the other boy from the Mines of Moria.
“Okay.” After the Mines of Moria, Ohtori thought, snuggled comfortably against his date and watching the movie intently. He hated that he was probably being a bit rude, not talking to his date or anything, but rather watching the movie with rapt attention. He still had yet to even relinquish his grasp on Kabaji’s larger hand and was absently stroking the palm with his thumb.
He didn’t mind the silence. It was not uncomfortable, mostly because Kabaji himself was definitely not a talkative person. Instead, he enjoyed the small intimate closeness and felt the little goosebumps rise on the back of his neck every time Ohtori’s thumb moved a little. He supposed it was just because the unconscious act make him feel happy and warm and...wanted, even if just as a leaning post while the movie played. But it also meant that his hands weren’t free to snatch a chocolate...he wouldn’t let go and he wasn’t going to move his arm as it was a pillow. He wanted one though...but he wasn’t good at voicing his wants. “O.....ohtori....” He whispered, trying not to ruin an intensely emotional moment upon the screen. “May I...have another...chocolate?”
Hearing the other say his name, Ohtori looked up at his date and smiled faintly as he was asked for a chocolate, he was about to say that he could help himself, he had brought the chocolates to be shared, but then he realized he was resting on one of Kabaji’s arms and the other hand was trapped in his own. “Ah. Okay.” He released Kabaji’s hand and reached down to grab a chocolate to offer the other male. “Here you are.”
He sort of missed the hand when it was removed. But he felt...a little bolder. Probably, it would be the bravest he would be all evening. Instead of taking it, he shifted so that he could lean and eat it out of Ohtori’s fingers, cheeks a brilliant crimson before he had even finished leaning halfway. He managed it and went back upright. Oh yes...he was NOT doing THAT again. “S....sorry...” He now marveled at the ceiling tiles....one....two...
Well...that was different. Ohtori’s eyes widened slightly as Kabaji ate the sweet from his fingertips rather than taking it. He cleared his throat as the other boy leaned back and stared at the ceiling. For the moment, at least, the movie was forgotten in favor of looking at the larger student curiously. After a second, he leaned up to kiss him on the cheek before turning back to the movie. “No problem....”
Was he mad? Had he done something wrong? Was it too much too soon? Oh god....how was he going to make this up to Ohtori....how was he going to....there was a small kiss to his cheek and he went even more red. He had gotten a kiss for that. Maybe it was...okay to be more bold? He didn’t want to attempt it again though. Just enjoy the chocolate he had gotten and try to return his attention to the screen, free hand sliding, resting so that it was open for holding again, if the other wished. There would indeed be no more overly brazen acts from Kabaji this date.
Sensing Kabaji being nervous, Ohtori gently placed his hand back in Kabaji’s and squeezed it gently, keeping his eyes on the movie still, but a small smile playing on his face. “I won’t bite. If you wanted to....ever try anything.” He blushed a bit, knowing that it probably sounded a bit forward. “I mean...dating is about trying things too.”
He wrapped his hand around Ohtori’s again. This is was more than okay with. The offer....it was...he didn’t even know what to say about that. “I....know you won’t.... I just....” He didn’t want to ruin things. He wanted Ohtori to keep liking him and wanting to go out on dates with him. He didn’t want to do anything stupid that might make him hate him. “I....” He swallowed a little and shook his head. He couldn’t say that. “I....will remember that...” He finished.
Smiling faintly, Ohtori lifted the hand to his lips and kissed it gently before settling it back down between them where it had been before. He used his free hand to get a chocolate and pop it into his mouth before offering up another to Kabaji, leaving the method of eating to Kabaji’s own discretion. “Don’t worry about upsetting me or anything like that.” His face heated up a bit, “I’m not going to break or get upset or anything.”
Lips pressed his knuckles and he was sure he had gone red all the way down to his toes. Something about that was just terribly sweet to him. Especially since Ohtori seemed to want him to know that he wasn’t going to be upset. Something he was terribly worried about. He valued Ohtori too much to ever want to upset him. “I.....know you won’t...” Still, he was aware that healer or not, Ohtori didn’t need to feel of pain of being upset. If he could, he would spare the other all the pain he could, of any sort. He wanted to....protect the pale teen....
“But....I...I’ll still...warn you...or something...when I want to...try something....though....you can...” Ohtori had said it so well and so easily. He didn’t know what was so hard about saying it back. “be the same...with me...” Because it was only fair that if Ohtori wanted to try things....he should be willing to give the other boy the exact consideration he was being given.
But what things were there left to try? He had pretty much done it all, hadn’t he? A slightly guilty blush formed on his face, and he returned his attention immediately to the screen. “...you don’t have to warn me. Really. I won’t make you sick. I’ve gotten better about controlling that part of my mutation.” Though he was still easy to startle, he seemed to be able to keep from sickening his friends or classmates anymore. “And....like I told you when we uhm...met....I’m passive anyway.”
He didn’t know that the blush was a guilty one. He thought maybe it was because Ohtori was just as shy and embarrassed as he was when it came to muddling his way through this...whatever this was. “I...still think...you should be warned...it...it’s not fair...to just...spring things...on you.” And not just because of any sickness. It was because he wanted the paler teen to what to as well. Besides, he was passive as well. He wondered if that’s why they did so well. Because they were both slow. “That’s why....I haven’t....pulled you on my lap or....” Or tried to kiss him. That and a kiss would interrupt what was left of the movie.
Ohtori smiled slightly at the explanation and kissed Kabaji's hand again. Two passive guys trying to date....Kabaji would die a virgin. The only reason he was able to top Atsushi was the older boy's ability to be in charge no matter what position. "Did you want to?"
He probably would, though not for those reasons. No one would something that sizable...there and he was a bit big to go the other way. He couldn’t bottom, he couldn’t top. But he could do this. He could slide his hands away from their spaces to put them around the other’s middle. With utter care and gentleness he lifted and placed the other on his lap. He could easily lift Ohtori and he didn’t have worry about hurting him, but he still treated him as if he were fine china. That was his answer to the question. He DID want to.
He was always surprised how strong and how gentle Kabaji could be, especially when he was so effortlessly lifted onto the other boy's lap. Settling in and leaning back do he was flush against the other boy, he cuddled in and tilted his head enough to kiss Kabaji's cheek as a reward. From his new perch, he tugged the blanket over them to share the heat and glanced ahead, trying to ignore those hormonal thoughts that raised a blush back to his cheek. "Thanks."
Hugely powerful arms wrapped around the other. This was comfortable. Very much so. It was not like hugging anyone else. Holding Ohtori like this was different. He couldn’t say why that was...it just was. Even the little kiss was nice. “Y...you’re welcome...Let me know....if you get uncomfortable.” He knew he wouldn’t be. Ohtori wasn’t heavy to him at all. He could stay like this the short rest of the movie without any concerns.
Feeling those arms around him, he shifted slightly so he could rest his cheek on a muscled chest and shoulder but still watch out the corner of one eye, he had already decided he would purchase this movie to watch over and over again. Kabaji was always worrying about being uncomfortable, which confused Ohtori, who found comfort in his strength. "I like it here." he murmured softly, resting his arms around the ones wrapped around him.
So his chest made a good pillow. He hadn’t thought he would suffice as such. He wasn’t soft. But Ohtori seemed to enjoy it. “I...” He rested his chin on that pale hair again. “Like....being your chair...”
"We've been on two dates and you did save me....I can't imagine chair is exactly what I would call you." Not that he had any idea what to call him anyway.... Boyfriend wasn't it....he was still sleeping with others....
He didn’t care if Ohtori did call him a chair. He would be a chair for the other any time. “I...I wanted to...do all of that...” He lightly nuzzled into silver hair. “I...told my parents.... about you...” he stated, knowing Ohtori knew about the problems he had had. “I told them...I...had my first date...with an angel...only Sena believed me... she suggested...a bunch of...things...like ice skating...for dates...do you...ice skate?” He wouldn’t ask about the other stuff she had suggested. It was straight from those awful romantic comedies she loved.
Jumping at the mention of parents first, he glanced over at the other male, the epic adventure forgotten in favor of shock. The shy, home schooled boy with over protective parents had mentioned their date!? And his parents didn't believe him?! Ohtori took a deep breath as he pondered the best way to handle the various issues he found in this simple statement.
"I ah- I am sorry your parents didn't believe you....and I actually have never tried ice skating." The guilty blush returned, " and I am not an angel... At all."
He nodded. “I...don’t think....they think I’m...capable...I...” He had always been shy and even more so around the people he liked. Becoming a shut in had just made that worse. “I wanted them to know though....I...I wanted to tell them...to show them...I was happy here...” That he could have those sort of feelings. These sort of feelings he was feeling right now.
“I...I think you are...” Nothing would change that thought either. “And...maybe....we can...try ice skating...I...I’m sure the ice would...hold me...”
"Well- at least they let you stay...." even if he did think it was sort of messed up having parents who could not believe he was happy and dating someone. "I....actually an far from it." Ohtori mumbled, still half watching the movie, "Ok- if you want to try it, we can."
He wouldn’t argue with Ohtori about this. He thought the other was an angel and that was all there was to it. Ohtori was a sweet and kind and beautiful person. He didn’t think anyone he knew fit the description of angel better than the other boy. He just decided not to touch the subject any more since it seemed to be making his classmate self conscious.
“Then...maybe...Feburary is the coldest month, right? Maybe then...so we have skates by then.”
“Yeah. Sounds good. I’ll look into ordering online or something....” He had a feeling the other male had pretty big feet to match and he did not want him to suffer in uncomfortable skates on their date. “Just promise you won’t laugh too much when I fall on my butt and can’t get up again.”
He kissed the top of Ohtori’s head and laughed softly. “I won’t laugh...I’ll probably...fall down too.” But the falling might also mean some clinging to each other. It would be fun and it would be a nice date. Maybe...he could schedule it for Valentine’s day. “So....I guess...that’s another date...” He was getting to have so many now. It was nice.
Smiling at the gentle kiss in his hair, Ohtori laughed as well, the idea of seeing the two of them slipping and sliding about, falling down and colliding was just too funny. Grinning against the other’s chest, he patted it affectionately. “Sure sounds like it. Hopefully we can have a few more between now and February though too.”
He blushed a little at the petting. He knew Ohtori was aware of how strong he was. The other had been against his massive chest a number of times. He nodded. He hoped so too. He knew it might be selfish, but he wanted to have as many dates as he could between now and then. And maybe....maybe he could get up the courage to give the boy a proper kiss.
Ohtori pouted a bit as the movie started toward the end, he was enjoying the warmth in the other's lap and the way the large blanket fit around their bodies. Eventually the movie would end and their date would be over.
He pulled the other closer as the movie concluded, with the obvious setup for the next in the trilogy. He didn’t turn it off and let the credits play all the way through. Then he just sat there, Ohtori in his lap in the quiet of the room. “So....do you think you want to watch the second and third ones...sometime?”
Feeling Kabaji pull him closer, Ohtori moved to carefully turn so he could face the other a bit better, trying not to think of the fact he was straddling the larger boy in a fairly suggestive position. Surely Kabaji would not think of it being anything too bad, right? "I'd like that a lot."
He didn’t think anything of it at all. Nothing. Instead, he just shifted his hands to carefully placed one of them on Ohtori’s back. He looked so sweet and lightly cupped his face with the other. “And....” he wondered if it was too forward or too soon....”Could I...call you....Choutarou?” Because to him using first names was like kissing. You only did it to people you were exceptionally close to.
Smiling and resting his cheek in the large hand on his face, Ohtori looked up into Kabaji’s deep and soulful eyes, waiting politely for him to finish the question. While he had expected it to be a question about a kiss or something, it was about using his name. Nodding just slightly, he rested his hands on Kabaji’s shoulders. “Yes, you can. Should I call you Munehiro?”
He gently stroked the other teen’s cheek with his fingertips. He smiled a little more and nodded. “Usu... I...” He leaned in a little to steal a small kiss, blushing so red. “I would like that. You can...if you want.”
Ohtori’s cheeks flushed at the sweet and innocent little kiss, smiling a bit more, he leaned forward again to give the other boy a slower, slightly more firm kiss. “Okay then, Munehiro.”
That kiss made his heart rush and his cheeks flush. He enjoyed it a lot and even kissed back, because the last time, it had been an accident and this time, it wasn’t one at all. Second date, more proper kiss. That seemed like a good slow paced for him. He finally pulled away with a flush and hugged the pale boy even closer. This was a great way to end a date. He decided that as he held the other teen warmly.
“Movie’s over.” Ohtori mumbled against Kabaji’s neck, rather enjoying being held so close and kept so warm in the other’s arms. It was a good safe place, and the kiss had been just right for the tone of the night.
He sighed. He supposed Ohtori was right. The movie was over. He also supposed that meant that their date was over. He sighed again and nodded. “Usu...it is...I guess that means...the date is over too.” He didn’t let go yet. He didn’t want to. He wanted to be close just a little bit longer.
When Kabaji didn't let go, Ohtori smiled and cuddled up. "The date doesn't have to be over....all I said was the movie was."
He nodded a little and cuddled the other close. He didn’t know what else dates did together, but he was okay with this. More than okay with this. “Usu.” he answered and cuddled the other closer.
