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.

anyway he will take the butt but he will also nip elysium's fingertips while he's at it ]
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.

I could tell you to give up more straightforwardly?
[ 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. ]
