But acting that way isn't beautiful! And it's not exactly something I do on purpose.

[It's a whine, but he sighs in resignation. If he wants to hear about Rin's childhood, he has to give something back. It's a fair trade, indeed.

Besides, it's not like they're going to go out in public and talk like this. They're home, alone, naked, and safe. They can be a little silly.]

But... alright, I agree.

[He kisses Rin again, because he likes this constant kissing thing, they should keep it going.]

Just for you.

Oh, I should hope it's just for me. [Rin leans in closer, all breathy whispers, flashing his trademark sharp grin that has just taken on a bit of a menacing shade.] I would hate to share.

[Whether it's an actual warning or another game of teasing (spoilers: it's a little of both, but more the latter than the former) Rin closes in that gap with another kiss, a longer one this time, firmer, vaguely possessive. Not angry in the least, but more passionate than before, his own brand of pepper and salt.

(They need to add some spice sometimes, and Rin is fairly sure this weekend together is just going to make it a hundred times harder to keep up edgy, bickering appearances in public. But he'll worry about that when it's time to worry about that.)]

Now, let's see, a good story... [He pulls Rei closer to him again, nestles his head between his neck and chest, and hopefully like this he can hear the rhythm of Rin's heart-- steady, peaceful. Like Rei inspires him to be.]

You know I transferred to Iwatobi because I wanted to build a relay team there, right? [It's more of a rhetorical question by now, but he takes a quick glance down at Rei for confirmation, anyway.] So, one day during class, I was trying to talk Haru into joining, but that guy kept being all-- well, you know, Haru. [Rei knows Haru, this is a perfectly good explanation, as far as Rin is concerned.] Only swim free, and all that. 'Course at the time I had no idea what that meant, so I figured he was talking about strokes and told him he could do freestyle, no problem. But then he kept saying it like a parrot, and I was kinda losing my temper, so at one point I just--

[Sigh. This is a truly embarrassing memory, give him a minute to gather himself here.]

I... jerked up from my desk and just yelled: "I've told you, you can swim free!" Y'know. In the middle of class. In front of everybody else.

[That's not even the cheesy part, but it should give Rei a general idea of the kind of passion Rin had in him since childhood.]

[A little possessiveness is alright, even if Rin has no reason to worry. Besides the fact that Rei is only interested in Rin romantically, he'd never let himself get caught dead acting like this around anyone else. He gives back as good as he gets during the kiss, then lets himself get comfortable against Rin's chest.

He giggles at Rin's description of Haru, because that really is the only way to describe him sometimes. He still doesn't really understand what "swimming free" really means, but thanks to Rin he has a way to swim.

He laughs again at Rin's climax. That sounds just like something he would do even now, though maybe not as emphatically.]

That's what you get for talking in class.

[He says it from his place nestled against Rin, his voice vibrating into his chest. He's comfy where he is.]

So how did everyone react? Did Haruka-senpai agree to join?

[He knows he does eventually, of course. But he doesn't know when or why. Might as well prompt Rin along.]

[Rin's knee connects to Rei's at his smarmy comment, a light-hearted warning; if anything, he's fairly sure his boyfriend shouldn't be acting so self righteous over anyone talking in class, if Nagisa's reports are to be taken seriously. And as far as Rin is concerned, nodding off in the middle of class and jumping in his desk like he'd do in a pool is a lot more embarrassing, anyway.]

Hah, as if. Haru gave me a run for my money, all right-- he was the last one to agree to join the relay team. A real pain...

[It's always a coin toss, whether Rin's annoyance at Haru's particular brand of weird is genuine or not; judging from his scoff with a just a hint of fondness, though, Rei should be able to tell he doesn't really mean it. Not today.]

Anyway, I had to save face somehow, and I was lucky we were all gathered up discussing ideas for graduation, at the time. [He giggles at the memory like someone who can't finish his own joke, fingers playing with the rat nest that is Rei's hair as a means to shift his focus back to present.] We were planting a flowerbed around the big cherry tree near the pool, so I told everyone that what I meant by free was that we should write messages on the bricks around the garden and create memories our own way. Y'know, freely.

[Yes, that sounds like a recipe for failure, he realizes. But he had the charm to pull it off.]

[Nagisa said he wouldn't tell anyone about that he has betrayed the bond of best friendship.

From everything he knows about Rin, now and from stories about him in his childhood, he can imagine that he was just charming and compelling enough that everyone went along with it, even if it was a poor attempt to cover up his faux pas. Actually, he knows for a fact they did, but he doesn't want to interrupt the momentum of Rin's story by revealing he already knows the resolution.]

That's a terrible save. [His fingers start to knead gently at the muscles of Rin's back. From his position and the angles of his hands he can't really massage Rin, but the touch is affectionate if not effective.] But it's a cute idea. Did they go along with it?

[Rin sighs under Rei's touch, and the gesture may not be very effective as a massage, it delivers the more important message-- that Rei is there with him, encouraging and quietly loving. That's all he needs.]

Surprisingly, yeah, they did. [He is, for once, being modest about his results, both because he figured Rei already knew that much, and because it really wasn't that big of a deal, not really something to be proud about. Although he probably was more of a natural charmer, back then-- he even got a round of applause and all.] I don't know, maybe they were just trying to be nice to the transfer student. We didn't have a lot of time together, but it really was a good class...

[That brings back a different memory, the day they graduated and Rin cried louder than any of his classmates. But that's a story for another time.]

That reminds me, my message ended up next to Haru's, and Haru's, next to Makoto's. They were all in English, too, and side by side like that, they read as a different message. [He buries a muffled chuckle into Rei's hair, gives him a kiss to repay him for his affections.] I guess it was fate.

Mmm. [Rei hums his understanding into Rin's chest. The red string of fate, Amakata-sensei had said, and Rei thought that if such a thing were real, it didn't just connect Rin and Haru, but all of them together. (Especially himself and Rin, he'd like to think, but he knows he's biased.)]

Let me guess - Haruka-senpai's said "free."

[He doesn't even have to think very hard about it. He can't imagine Haru putting anything else on his block.

His fingers continue their slow traversal of his back, rubbing gently and lightly. His eyes drift close because everything is so peaceful, listening to Rin's voice and laying so still, and he really has to try not to fall asleep.]

[If Rei is biased, then Rin is twice as much. They, too, met before they got to know each other, a brief encounter in a time of need, and given the chance, he would gladly go on and on about how Rei kept coming to his rescue, even as a child. Truly his savior, from the very start.

But these are thoughts meant for his journals, only. For now, at least.]

Yeah, of course. [Said with a scoff, though not ill-intentioned.] Makoto's said "I swim" and mine was-- well, you know that one already. [Given their position, there's no need for Rin to look away, but he does, anyway, suddenly self-conscious-- not so much over his own cheesy self from the past, but rather, the circumstances in which Rei learned about his childhood motto.]

Anyway, the three of them together read as I swim free for the team. [With a sigh, he pulls Rei's head closer to him, his free hand running down along the length of his boyfriend's arm.] If you and Nagisa had graduated with us, I wonder what you guys would've added. Probably something that would fit in just as nicely with the rest...

[Ah, there he goes, having ideas again. Maybe he should stop. Maybe.]

[Rei opens his eyes again as he's pulled closer, and he tries to look up at Rin's face, a more or less impossible feat without moving from his position, which is not an appealing option at the moment. So he just looks up a bit at Rin's throat before speaking.]

I don't know. Maybe...

[He casts his mind back to elementary school. It feels like two lifetimes ago, honestly. Maybe that's the way growing up is for everyone.]

Back then, my brother was already in track in high school. He was very good, though not quite good enough for the Olympics.

[Rei's hands make their way up near the base of Rin's neck now, right between his shoulder blades.]

I thought he was the best in the world, though. I wanted to be just like him...

[Rei purses his lips in thought.] Maybe we would have gotten lucky and I'd write something like "fast."

[Rin heaves a sigh into Rei's hair, relishing his touch. If they keep this up for long, they'll both fall asleep right there, then wake up to rumbling stomachs and the smell of day-old popcorn impregnating the living room. Not that Rin would mind that too terribly.]

Hah, so that's why you were in track, before... [A new piece of information, one that Rin is glad for. They don't talk much about Rei's time in the track team-- it feels like he has left that completely behind him, never looking back-- and Rin never pressed him for details, either; he's still selfish, and would rather focus on the sport that put them on the same path. It's still a bit curious, though, how both he and Rei originally followed after the steps of a family member, a male figure they looked up to.]

I didn't know you back then, so I can't say for sure how well that would fit you or not. [He seems to realize he may be pressing Rei uncomfortably close and lets up a bit, lowering his gaze and touching foreheads instead.] But if you were to write it now, I think your message should be different. It'd be something like...

[He closes his eyes for better focus, and maybe also for effect. When red meets lavender again, he's smiling, content to have found the word he was looking for.]

"Together."

[Because Rei was the final, missing link in the group, and because he bridged the distance between Rin and his childhood friends.]

[Rei smiles back, blushing just a little.]

"Together" is a beautiful word.

[He slips his hand down from Rin's back to place it on the mattress, using it to push himself up until he's leaned over Rin on both arms. All his weight on the hand behind Rin, he uses the other to cup Rin's cheek, tilting his head up for easier access.

Then Rei leans down to kiss him, soft and slow but still with hunger behind it. For this moment, he's sure that he wants to be with Rin and his romantic notions and wonderful stories and thoughtful, heartfelt words forever.]

Together.

[It's just a whisper.]

I like it.

[He doesn't know what got into Rei or why he's indulging in a mood that is a lot more romantic than what Rin was aiming for, but he does know better than to make any questions. Instead, he meets the gesture in full, gives it his all, like he always does. He's not the type for half-hearted affections.

And though he kept quiet about it, he can still show his appreciation through gestures, can flash him a smile and gaze deep into those beautiful eyes, open, unguarded. Like someone with nothing to hide.]

I think I know you pretty well by now. [He finally breaks the comfortable silence, thumb stroking circles on Rei's cheek. He was fine with them both lying on their side before, but he really can't say he minds being pinned under Rei's weight like this, either.]

By the way-- [He leans in closer, a whispered giggle brushing against Rei's skin.] Your pronunciation still sucks.

[It's an old joke, but Rin can't see himself letting go of that anytime soon.]

[Rei gives a little huff of irritation he doesn't really feel, punctuating its falsehood with another kiss. He lowers himself down, draped across Rin's chest like he was on the couch, head tucked contently under Rin's chin.]

I suppose you'll just have to keep teaching me.

[He really is going to fall asleep if he lays here like this, listening to Rin's heartbeat. He forces his head back up with a groan.]

Why did I make that popcorn? It's still sitting in the living room.

[He should go clean it up. After they get cleaned up. He doesn't sound excited about the idea of moving.]

[Rin isn't in any hurry to move, either, but he laughs at Rei's groan, anyway, hand dropping on the crown of his head to ruffle blue hair, fond as ever. Rei's anal-retentive nature can be a huge bother, but at times, it's just terribly endearing; Rin wonders what kind of magic he works there.]

Because you wanted to keep up pretenses? Fool yourself into thinking you were ever planning to watch the movie I oh so carefully picked for us? [With a dramatic sigh for effect, he flops back on the pillow, dramatic like he's only allowed to act around Rei.] Who knows whatever was passing through that dirty, dirty mind of yours...

[A giggle; his complaint holds a grand total of zero percent truth to it.]

But now that we're talking food, we should probably figure out what to do for dinner. I've worked quite the appetite, and you should know better than to leave me hungry for long...

[Punctuated with a little nip to the tip of Rei's nose. Affectionate, but with no subtle hint of mischief added to the mix.]

[Rei quirks an eyebrow up, smiling in amusement. Rin and his endless shark references - they might be a little cheesy sometimes, but he just wouldn't be Rin without them.]

Feeding time at the shark tank already?

[He pushes himself up, ends up straddling Rin's hips. He didn't really think the position through at first, but, well, he's here now.

He reaches out to traces the angles of Rin's face, fingertips light and gentle. He doesn't want to end this moment, but he's reassured to know there's time to have more moments before the weekend is over.]

We should get cleaned up first. We can discuss our dinner options while we shower.

[He doesn't even try to pretend he doesn't mean they should shower together.]

[In Rin's defense, it wasn't so much a shark reference as it was part of his usual biting routine, but he's glad Rei finds it amusing. Because that is just another old of their private little jokes that will never get old.]

While we shower, huh? [He flashes Rei a toothy smirk; he's loved every single second of their rendezvous, their telling silences and adoring touches, and he'll make sure they get to share more of this before their time together runs out. He'll make it a weekend to remember.

But he's not about to pretend he's not happy to see where this conversation is headed, either.]

Tell me something: is there a point in showering if we're just going to leave the bathroom feeling dirtier than we did when we got in?

[A scandalous thought reinforced by equally lewd rolls of his hips, naked flesh bucking up against his boyfriend just once, taunting, luring. Rei really should have thought this through.]

[Rei blushes, and it's hard to hide in this position that he's starting to get hard again already. Rin is really persuasive, and really sexy underneath him like this. Normally this is where he would avert his eyes, but he doesn't.]

At least there will be soap involved.

[He leans down to kiss Rin's lips one more time (it's easy when one's as flexible as Rei is) before sliding off him and getting up, stretching to get the kinks out of his back and arms. Also because it makes all his muscles flex, but that's not his primary motivation (supposedly).]

If you really think it's pointless, we could always go cook instead. But I thought you might want a shower first.

It's not the shower I'm interested in.

[There he is, shameless as usual, unabashedly devouring Rei's forms with a single look and a telling smirk on his lips. If his innuendo from before hadn't been enough, the message he relays now is straightforward, leaving no room for interpretation. He's a shark, always after what he really wants.

Although right now, he resembles more of a lazy cat, stretching out in bed like he owns the place, sheets slipping off in the process. He doesn't care to salvage his modesty, not even as he finally gets up and makes his way to Rei; it's all part of his seduction, not that he needs any extra.]

But, I suppose we could. [He closes in on Rei, arms draped over his shoulders and words whispered between kisses.] I mean, we do have to discuss dinner plans, first...

[They won't be discussing dinner plans.]

[Rei knows exactly what Rin is doing, and he likes it. No objections are to be had here. In fact, he presses himself up closer to Rin, until he's flush against his chest and torso.]

Right. I'm not sure what you want to eat yet.

[He kisses back, taking time to give his own little bite, catching Rin's lower lip in his teeth.]

You'll just have to tell me what you feel like.

[He's not talking about dinner plans at all.]

[Rin has to hold himself back not to laugh at Rei's cute attempts at returning his bite and ruin the mood - but really, whatever was he trying to accomplish with those baby teeth? - so he settles for smirking instead, sharp, ivory tips glinting like they had a conscience of their own, like they were ready to pounce on prey.]

Hmmmm. I can think of one or two things...

[And then his teeth are on Rei's lips again, sinking into flesh and tugging and sucking him raw, making it perfectly clear any plans for dinner they may have been trying to make have just been thrown in the backburner. He doesn't think Rei is too upset about it, either.]

So. Wanna race me to the shower or are you just going to shove me all the way there?

[Maybe he's doing exactly what Rei suggested, too: just telling him what he feels like.]

Edited 2015-04-26 22:20 (UTC)

Running inside is dangerous.

[Said as he pushes Rin further out the door, into the hallway. It seems like shoving is the way he's going to go.

But once they are out, he suddenly breaks away, skipping back from Rin toward the bathroom.]

But I don't have to run to beat you on land.

[Come and get him.]

[Rin allows himself to be pushed, not so secretly scanning the room from the corner of his eyes and seeking out the nearest wall for a proper makeout-- which he thinks is what Rei is going for, anyway.

But then Rei pulls away, and Rin is confused for all of a half second, until the inevitable sass follows up. Trust him to resort to that.]

You just never learn, do you? [He starts with a smirk, taking his sweet time to cover the space between himself and the bathroom; it's not a real race, and he's in no hurry to give in.] Leaving your back unguarded like that... I'm starting to think you want to get bitten.

Why would I want that?

[His voice sounds innocent as he reaches into the shower and turns on the water to let it start warming up. Then he leans against the wall to wait. When Rin enters, he launches his attack, wrapping his arms around Rin again and kissing him hungrily.]

Why would I want that?

[It's whispered against Rin's lips. He moves to kiss at Rin's neck instead. His hips grind against Rin's.

Maybe he's a little bit of a horndog. But it's mostly Rin's fault.]

[If this is Rin's fault, then he'll gladly take the blame. He rather likes it when Rei takes the initiative.

Rin surrenders to Rei's attentions for a moment longer, only fighting back when Rei moves even the slightest inch away from him; it's a good thing he's pressed up against the wall, and like this he can support most of his weight on his back and one leg, the other tangling itself around Rei's calf to keep their hips connected. This is more like their usual routine, fast and rambunctious, and though Rin misses their gentle lovemaking from earlier, this is just fine for a second round.]

Dunno. [Said in a breathless moan, the heat from their bodies and warm shower catching up to him.] Why don't you tell me...?

[And then he's on Rei again, teeth scraping and nibbling on his ears and cheeks and whatever bits of skin he can find within closest reach, given their position. Time to rile him up that little bit more.]

[Rin ended up being mostly right about feeling dirtier getting out of the shower than getting in, but Rei also feels good, and even sleepier than he did before. But Rin was right about dinner, and they still had no idea what they were cooking.

Toweling off, Rei examines himself in the foggy mirror, noting what he can tell are bite marks on his shoulders and neck. A year ago, he never would have thought someone biting him would be something he could enjoy, but seeing the possessive marks now gives him a pleasant shiver.]

Did you decide what you want for dinner?
