[ a pixelksjdflkjsdf it's fine. the way that tobari would honestly just describe elysium as 'unbearably annoying for a surprisingly good lay'. i guess i'm charitably assigning him as good in bed. you can tell me otherwise i suppose
as long as he got his revenge via biting the hell out of elysium (lol) and scratching his back a bit then he's honestly fine. maybe a little sleepy. tired. does this stop him from looking to see where his clothes ended up? no. there's an art to the one night stand exit. aRE THEY STILL LOVE ARROWED? DID IT WEAR OFF? ]
[ he canonically enjoys being praised so unfortunately he would be annoying enough to make sure his partners have a good time. very attentive and all that and expects the same in kind. stupid!
But yes, Tobari can get his biting in and then some. Assuming Tobari wakes up first, Elysium wakes up shortly after. Sometimes you're in the military so you're extra sensitive to the environment around you. Sorry. No sneaky sneaky. Assigns them as no longer debuffed so we can build our CR as normal…! ]
You ever hear the saying? That it's only awkward if you make it awkward?
[ it really is so funny to me dana that this only happened bc i was too busy to tag into your intro. somehow this worked out. ]
[ PRAISED..... oh elysium you are so cute. tobari probably wakes up first by nature of not normally fucking sleeping so he doesn't even get more than a few hours in at most. he yawns and glances over to elysium with a raise of his brow and a small smile. the casual question at least helps him relax too, since he wasn't sure what he'd do if his bed partner freaked out. ]
Is there something to be awkward about?
[ well that answers that, doesn't it.
I GUESS IT WORKED OUT I GUESS THEY CAN MEET AND IMMEDIATELY HAVE A ONE NIGHT STAND ABOUT IT ]
[ He'd be a lot fussier if this were any other situation, but as it stands, he just laughs, stretches lazily, and rises to his feet. He isn't shy about being nude—the jacket's more for Tobari and how he might feel about it. ]
Sure, sure. If you think of anything you need between now and by the time I get out, just let me know.
tobari also doesn't feel any way about feeling nude, he really just caught his jacket so that he could start organizing the fucking clothes pile. he's probably looking around to find all the parts of their wardrobes and trying to arrange them on the bed so he can differentiate whose pair of black pants is whose.
honestly, ]
I'm kinda hungry. [ or rather, the habit of eating is kicking in. so he might order room service? ] Want anything?
[ does the love hotel have a free continental breakfast? they serve guests in the red light district so he's just assuming this service exists ]
[ ok like five inches AND ALL BLACK FABRIC LOOKS THE SAME ON THE FLOOR. it's starting to look slightly more cohesive when laid out on the bed.
anyway tobari laughs. he'll order the coffee along with some tea and sweets for himself but being thanked for a one night stand? wow. nostalgic ]
Don't we all? [ what is a no strings attached one night stand besides stress relief. it's been a second for him too since he's so overworked so he can't deny it was fun. ] You're welcome.
[ you know, i was actually thinking of centimetres when i said that but the inches make it funnier.
Anyhoo! Instead of taking the usual half hour for a shower, he's out in ten, leaving towels and toiletries exactly as he'd found them as to not inconvenience the person after. As he emerges, he looks entirely refreshed—before his eyes fall on the neat pile clothes, eyes crinkling with amusement. ]
You weren't kidding when you said you knew how to impress. Sheesh. [ a laugh. ] Your turn.
tobari will at least rise from where he was sitting, stretching out the soreness in his back. he huffs out an amused breath ]
Think about raising your standards from the bare minimum. [ no tobari's just good at this ] Food should be here in five. If you want a bite of anything, go ahead.
[ makes ely deal with having to possibly accept the food delivery half-naked. he'll make his way to the bathroom without pause. tobari does like wagashi... so he probably ordered some and when the food arrives, the sweets are in the shape of hearts and butts and dicks. i wasn't going to add the lewd options but i feel like anna would appreciate it. there is also ely's black coffee and tobari's tea. ]
How's this. I'll think about it when you stop fishing for validation. [ That's his job. ] You know that isn't true.
[ spoken the way someone might go, c'mon, man, but without any bite.
Anyway, I'm assuming the hotel has bathrobes. He is in no rush to get changed, so he'll just flit about without worry. The most he'll touch is a single butt—plopped into his mouth before he directs his attention to the rest of the room. They could eat amid a mess, but after Tobari went through the effort of collecting their clothes he'll at least spruce up the vibes—air their room out, light a candle. Do the rest of the bed so their sheets and pillows aren't strewn all over floor. ]
[ listen... sometimes you just want everyone's standards for themselves and others to rise a little. but tobari will similarly take a quick shower, all squeaky clean and refreshed. sometimes... this is just what a guy needs after basically a month in fucking purgatory. he's also grabbing a bathrobe, toweling off his hair as he exits. ]
Huh... Looks better in here. Thanks.
[ he can also recognize effort... reaches for his tea automatically and then looks down judgmentally at the wagashi. ]
[ sorry I'm just losing it at him being stuck with Obikawa and Hikaru for a MONTH? He has not met either of them yet but my god ]
I think that's just your imagination.
[ He's feeling charitable so he attempts to plop another butt into Tobari's mouth. It's fine. He will be the courage Tobari lacks (it isn't even this.) ]
[ Uh huh… he props his chin up with his hand, clearly amused. ]
You're lucky I'm not taking that as a challenge. Are you sure that's what you want, when those are about the fastest words you could use to rile someone up? Please.

[ … but there is his jacket!!! He tosses that over to Tobari. ]
Need help getting cleaned? Or do you want to take care of that yourself?
[ aftercare does not have to be romo ]
no subject
I think we both have too many pieces.
[ me looking up elysium's clothes like. there's so much fucking fabric in both of these outfits. ]
I should be fine. [ sometimes your default is being self-sufficient to the point of detriment ] You want to grab the shower first?
no subject
The price of knowing how to style, my man.
[ He'd be a lot fussier if this were any other situation, but as it stands, he just laughs, stretches lazily, and rises to his feet. He isn't shy about being nude—the jacket's more for Tobari and how he might feel about it. ]

I wouldn't mind a coffee. [ Technically, they do not need this either, but the shit they deal with regularly necessitates it anyway. ] Make it black?
[ There's the slightest pause before he disappears into the bathroom. ]
Thanks, by the way. I think I needed that.

no subject
Elysium just laughs, pulling his hand away to lick away at the excess sugar and I guess Tobari's [redacted]. ]
Are you actually upset over last night? [ leans back, casual, sipping at his coffee. ] I thought I took pretty good care of you.
no subject
I must've been really into you to allow that...
[ HE REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT but a love curse will do a lot with tobari, who is naturally accommodating
he's not upset, just in absolute disbelief. what the fuck. ]
no subject
[ It is funny how completely differently they express their disbelief. ]
I'd hope it goes without saying that I thought I outgrew this behaviour a while ago, but I did. We can both say it isn't likely to happen again…
[ sleeping around can get messy… ]
no subject
You could say that I've dealt with enough one-sided affections that I'd rather make things clear sooner than later.
[ sometimes you just casually admit that people have a habit of falling in love with you back home ]
So I'd agree we should probably start and end here.

[ he doesn't think he needs to be gentle with elysium's feelings about it ]
no subject
You barely know me? Besides, I'd argue we're already halfway there on sheer chemistry alone. Who'd give up that easily when victory's right there?
[ why
is he taking this as some kind of competition anyway ]
no subject
[ he's exhausted at the idea of being pursued by a guy like this ]
no subject
[ He wasn't going to pick at much of Tobari's breakfast before, but now he is just to be extra annoying. Okay. ]
