[ Thankfully, the towel from his hair is nearby, so Aki can clean his hand off before he's tugged into bed beside Tsurumaru; it means he's comfortable as he settles in close, curling around him and nuzzling close. Sorry, room service, for your life.
Aki doesn't kiss him, just in case, but he leans in and kisses his jaw, his neck, pressing soft reminders of his affection against his skin, arms wrapping around the lean frame of the man beside him and tugging him closer. It's almost too easy to settle in and fill the void of space in the bed, and the smile on his face isn't faltering for even a moment. ]
I want you, too. I've wanted you for weeks.
[ He's been filled with longing. Sorry, Tsurumaru. ]
(He preens for him, raising his face, turning his neck, giving Aki free and total access to his body. It would be so easy to indulge, to just take and bask in it all. Sighing and humming with each touch, he still hasn't come down from his high.
He's still riding it when he rolls in his hold so he can be on top of him. Swaying as he rises, straddling him and looking down to see all of him now that he has him. Like this, Aki can also see him. Everything. The entirety of his frame, lean muscle, the graceful curve of his waist, the warm flush of his cheeks, and eyes still bright and constricted. A version of Tsurumaru Kuninaga that only wants to show off, who only wants to be the best, who only wants to be loved.
He teases,)
Poor Aki.
(He places the palm of his hand on Aki's center, hands splayed and tracing muscle, exploring every line, slowly. He's deliberate as he moves up to his chest, around and then across his nipple, to his collar... and all the while he leans in closer and closer until he's flat on top of him and his face is buried in the crook of his neck and shoulder, nuzzling against him.)
My poor, wonderful Aki.
(And he begins to pepper him with dizzied kisses. He'd said it. Aki is his. His, his, his, he thinks hazily. His kisses slow as he begins to settle, as the rush runs its course,)
I'm sorry... (Pressing his mouth against his neck, murmuring, ) ... For making you wait...
(And suddenly, there's teeth, nipping lightly at first,)
Thank you. (For waiting. For being so good. For taking such care of him. For putting up with him.) Thank you.
(Harder. Because he knows how he feels about him. Because he knows what cigarettes he likes. Because he knows what spot he likes. Because he knows he'll like it.
Teeth on skin, biting, the weight of Tsurumaru pushing him down into the bed, soft skin and warm caress blindsided by the piecing pain of teeth - it makes him burn, it makes him want, fire igniting inside of him again, and if he had any measure of strength inside him he’d be hard again, ready for Tsurumaru to do as he pleases, ready for him to give or take, it didn’t even matter.
Closing his eyes and tilting his head back, he breathes out as he listens to each and every single word, basking in the sheer and utter pleasure of it, the way that he feels as if he’s come to life, something breathed into him from the sheer passion of the moment, an explosion of feelings.
His Aki, Tsurumaru says, and Aki moans with it, delight at being possessed, at being claimed, belonging. His Aki, and his Tsuru, wrapped up together with pleasure and desire, his heart beating too loud in his chest. He didn’t think he could have feelings like this any more. He didn’t think he could have happiness like this any more.
Aki didn’t think he could stumble so close to love, like and desire mixing together to create something new and exciting, wonderful and frightening.
Tilting his head back, giving Tsurumaru room and space, he groans, fingers stroking over his legs, his hips, any soft skin he can reach. He just wants to touch, to anchor himself, victim to every piece of joy that Tsurumaru is offering him. ]
Tsuru… Tsuru…
[ Moaning his name, claiming it, ambrosia on his tongue. ]
(Humming, shivering with each touch, further emboldened to keep going. He buries his face into his neck, breathing in, taking in his scent and feels his name sung sweetly from his throat. Beautiful, like music to his ears and he bites again, sharp but careful as he breaks skin and hums.
Relaxing his jaw, breaking free, kissing a mark he doesn't really see in his haze, and... he settles. All of his weight collapses on top of Aki, slipping next to him, he curls next to him, nestling against him.)
[ Arms lift, wrapping around Tsurumaru, holding him close, curling into him before his eyes close. Fingers brush down along the boney feeling of his spine under his touch.
He's happy. Aki is happy.
Turning his head, he tugs Tsuru against his body, eyes closing. ]
(Properly spent, he moves bonelessly when he tugs him. Letting out a content sigh, he reaches one arm over and across him, hanging close,)
Of course. (Softly, contently,) I'm alive.
(Not just a sword. Not just cold steel. He's alive. Flesh and blood.)
You are, too.
(Warm and alive.)
Don't forget to tell me... if they're better.
(The cigarettes. But from the way his voice trails off lazily, growing quieter... he might not be awake. He's comfortable here. It's warm and feels safe and good and he feels like he can... rest.)
(Completely still save for the steady rise and fall of his chest, one might think he's already fallen asleep but after a second, he shifts ever so slightly, craning his neck up to look at Aki through his bangs and lashes. Sometime between the high of it all and the final crash, he's returned to normal, eyes normal, expression one of pure contentedness.
[ Tsurumaru really is beautiful, isn't he? A pretty man, handsome and soft looking, but filled with so much strength, and warmth, and more. Aki is sated, can feel the burn of the bite to his skin, and he thinks... he could take more, if he wanted, right now.
He doesn't. But he could. ]
I'll start it, then.
[ Lighting the cigarette is easy, and Aki brings it to his mouth, takes a long draw - bliss, his proper brand, feeling good - before he lets the smoke drift out from his lips, holding it out to Tsurumaru. ]
(Watching Aki curiously, observing his every move as he lights the cigarette, takes a breath, and sees the way his shoulders relax, the calm sweeps over and he feels proud of himself.
It's nice to see his gift appreciated. It's good to know that he did well.
And when he offers, he looks at the cigarette, at Aki, and back at the cigarette. Lifting himself up just enough to meet him, he leans in and takes a drag. Eyes closed, inhaling slowly. He recognizes this taste. He's tasted and smelled it on Aki plenty of times before but this is stronger. He doesn't dislike it but it's a different experience from using a kiseru pipe which is what he's more accustomed to. Maybe that's why he doesn't take as much as Aki.
When he's finished, he holds his breath and slips off. Tilting his face up to look up at him, he exhales slowly, letting the smoke spill.)
Watching Tsurumaru draw in from the cigarette, breathe it out, the smell of smoke, painfully familiar... It reminds him of home, and people that are lost, but he's not filled with the same agonising pain as before. He'd considered giving up, back home, wanting to try and live a little longer, as if this was the real risk.
He picked it back up with the stresses of kaiju.
Leaning in, he nudges their noses together, presses a kiss against Tsurumaru's mouth. ]
(Nuzzling against him, opening his mouth to kiss him gently, sweetly, a little messily in his hazy state. He hums in affirmation, slipping into the feeling again. There it is, that taste he remembers,)
(He cares too much. Stresses about others too much. Takes on more stress than he should.
Slipping away with a sigh, he settles against Aki and nods. He reaches across, wrapping an arm around him as he makes himself comfortable. Softly, sleepily,)
