[ right. cuddling.

so that's what they should do, and asking him to come closer wasn't weird or strange in that context. that was required, for cuddling. and he'd known that, but he hadn't thought of how warm kai would feel, or how soft, or how he'd think kai smelling like his products was a little hot.

just a little. so was the tthought that kai might find him just as warm against him.

he was about to push that thought away when kai nuzzled at his neck, causing neve's breathing to hitch. it had been a long, long time since he'd let anyone into his bed at all, and the contact at his neck was overwhelming. it was kind of cute, too. he turned his face, just a bit. as if giving kai more room to settle comfortable, or to do that again. ]


It's fine. I'll probably fall asleep too.
seafoamed: (oh!)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-21 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Normally, he wouldn't be as bold but being so tired opened him up somewhat. Later on, he would probably be mortified and worried he messed things up. Neve's friendship meant a lot and he didn't really have a lot of those to spare with the sort of life he led.

With how close they were, Kai heard or rather felt Neve's breath hitch. His eyes fluttered open to look at him. Oh. The reaction had to mean something, right?

Eyes falling shut again, he let out a little mmm noise, nuzzling again. ]


Always knew you'd be the cuddly type, marshmallow. I'll keep this in mind for the future. I have -- a lot of long days.

[ It felt so nice. ]
osmic: (pic#11993377)

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-21 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ maybe it was how naturally kai seemed to settle like this with him, sounding content and comfortable, nuzzling at him, that made neve respond in kind. even with his heart beating faster than it had in years, neve folded his arm so his fingers could card through kai's hair. ]

M'not. It's just you. [ it's a little petulant. and a lot to admit. but if kai was going to be so open and say everything on his mind, neve felt inclined to return the favor.

he'd meant it when he said he was working on it. not shutting kai out. letting him in. ]


You can come see me after your long days. I'll take care of you. [ he realised how much he meant that after saying it. how he'd rather kai have someone to come to after a difficult time. how he'd want to hear about anyone giving kai trouble and go find them and give them a piece of his mind.

he curled toward him, a little protectively, and turned his head so that for a moment his nose and mouth were against the top of his head before moving away again. ]
seafoamed: (what)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-21 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ With trust issues galore, Kai did not form too deep of bonds with others, maintaining more of an acquaintance level. His shop, contacts and family took up most of his time and he didn't usually care but Neve made him realize a lot of what he had been missing. All the things he secretly longed for. A connection to the world that went beyond just what he offered.

His eyes cracked open, his heart clutching in his chest. Oh. Wow. But the surprise did not end there.

No one took care of HIM. He worried about everyone else and while he's feel like a burden, it seemed more like neve might need someone to take care of. To focus on. It could be nice. He would care for Neve too, of course, how could he not. ]


You make - me more open. A few weeks ago -- I would have never called anyone after dealing - with that.

[ Slowly, he ran his fingertips over Neve's arm. ]

Goes both ways if you have a bad day what do you like?
osmic: (pic#12008882)

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-21 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ he could echo the same sentiment. he's glad kai did call. that he felt he could come see neve for this, and that neve would make him feel better. it's nice to be trusted like that. ]

I — [ it's a simple question.

what do you like? when you have a bad day, what makes you feel better?

neve doesn't know. he's never had anyone there. he's always been alone on good and bad days. ]


I don't know. [ it makes him sad to realize it, when before it would have only indicated he's been doing things right. he shouldn't rely on anyone else, not when his plan involved high risks. but with kai against him and his hair between his fingers and his nose against his neck, it made him feel sad. ]

Usually I'm alone.
seafoamed: (looking down)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-21 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ If the words made Neve sad, they only made Kai even sadder because it really drove home the all alone image. It yanked at Kai's heart and also made him wonder why he became an exception to the rule. Why did Neve let him in? Did it make him different? He sure hoped so.

Pulling back just a little to look into Neve's face, he cupped his cheek, lightly moving his thumb back and forth. An attempt to comfort and maybe to touch. Not as daring as the nuzzling but still yet. ]


You're not alone now. We - can figure it out together what you like, if you want. You - shouldn't be alone when you're sad.

[ Just the thought made him frown. ]

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-21 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds nice. [ it did sound nice.

nicer than it should. nicer than it was safe to. but those things he wasn't thinking about now, because kai was touching him, and it felt like he'd gone without touch so long he was melting further and further into it.

and further and further into kai's eyes, as he looked into them while he cupped his cheek. kai was handsome. really, really handsome... ]


Thank you. [ his voice was low and almost a whisper. he turned his cheek into the touch, encouraging it silently. they'd come this far, and it felt so nice. to hear someone say he didn't need to be alone, after convincing himself he had to. ]

[ A turning point of sorts to have Neve turn into the touch and not move away or try to turn the subject on him in some way. Early on, he picked up on the hands off vibe but he never really took it to heart, especially not when it seemed like a show. Now, he knew it had been. A kind of self preservation for some reason or another.

He just wondered why. Continuing to stroke his thumb against Neve's cheek, his own breath hitched and he didn't feel as tired anymore. ]


I'll always be here for you. Okay? I don't - I care about you.

[ A somewhat confession of sorts. ]
osmic: (pic#11965070)

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-21 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wasn't that a sign that something had gone horribly wrong? that he'd let kai in, or shown enough of himself to kai that kai had started to care about him? wasn't that what he'd been avoiding for so long?

yes. kind of. definitely.

was he thinking about that in this moment? absolutely not. ]


You probably shouldn't, [ he said, voice soft. he didn't look away from kai, though, eyes tracing his features in spite of himself, making note of the shape of his eyes and his nose and his mouth.

he has a very nice mouth. ]
seafoamed: (looking down)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-21 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of too late.

[ he whispered the words in the same soft tone, feeling his heartbeat picking up again. How could one person make him feel so many different things and all at once? It kept him off kilter and he really didn't know how to right himself.

Did he even actually want to?

Following Neve's eyes, fluttering joined in with the mix and he had a sudden awareness of how close they were.

Did Neve want to kiss him? ]


You - care about me, don't you?
osmic: (flgkjdh)

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-21 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ definitely wants to kiss him. absolutely shouldn't, definitely wants to. his hand drops from kai's hair, now at the base of his neck. his fingers shift there, a light brush of fingertips. he shouldn't be touching him more if it makes him feel like this, when he's so close to doing something that will end horribly for both of them.

he breathes out, eyes finally returning to kai's after a moment of silence. ]


Yes. [ he can't lie about that. it'd be stupid. it's obvious he cares; he's even told kai he likes him, told him he makes him feel human, told him he doesn't want to keep him at arm's length.

kai's right. it's kind of too late. ]
seafoamed: (listening)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-21 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Even if he knew Neve cared, it meant a lot to hear it and to be able to breathe it in. A certain kind oftenderness filled his face and he couldn't stop the shudder from Neve touching his neck. One of his weaknesses along with his hips.

Neve would end him without even trying or attempting to. The latter being a twinge of sadness because he doubted Neve would ever actually want him. As in a long term thing.

As in a for the rest of time thing.

He leaned into the touch, his own hand exploring Neve's hair and down his side. Content to touch and be touched even if he did want to kiss Neve. To press a little closer. ]


Neve - I - I'm glad I'm here.

[ Such a cop out but he couldn't say kiss me. He didn't do things like that. ]
osmic: (pic#11993377)

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-21 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ neve felt on the edge of something, teetering. he made no effort to pull back, only let things be, only let them happen. it felt liberating to just go with the moment, rather than trying to control every minute of the exchange and get it to go in the direction he felt was best.

he kept touching kai's neck, but now a bit more firm, almost massaging the base of his neck. still idle enough that he could pretend he was doing it without thinking, even though he was very, very focused on the touch. ]


Me too.

[ his eyes fell to kai's lips again, and he wanted to press his own to them so badly it was embarrassing. he usually had more control, but he felt if he didn't stop looking into kai's face he would end up kissing him within the next five minutes, and that... that was too much to entertain. instead he pressed closer, dunking his face against kai's shoulder and winding his arm around his middle.

as if that was any better. his nose was against kai's neck now, and he could smell his soap on him. ]
seafoamed: (looking down)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-22 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ If a heart could flutter from someone's chest, his would have right then and landed in Neve's hand. Maybe he had more feelings than he wanted to admit to or maybe he just didn't really know what they were. Sure, he had crushes before but this felt more fully realized than a fleeting stirring or something.

In fact, he turned to Neve at a low moment, which meant a lot when he tended to keep to himself. It terrified him a little because what if Neve decided to pull away from him? It wouldn't just break his heart, it would shatter him.

Letting out a breath, he could stop the little moan that escaped his parted lips. He had a sensitive neck but why oh why. A crimson blush stained his cheeks and he was glad when Neve ducked his head. ]


I must smell like you.

[ smooth.

He moved his hand to run along Neve's back, fingers tangling in his shirt. ]

[ he hadn't expected kai would flat out say something like that. again, there's no sense in denying it. that'd be stupid, and obvious that he's pretending like it's not true for a reason. and while he doesn't quite yet know why or how he feels so intensely about kai smelling like him...

he does. ]


Yeah. You do. [ he sighs, which makes him take a deep breath first. when he lets out a breath, he adds: ] Kind of nice.

[ kind of really nice, in fact. he doesn't know where this streak of... possessiveness comes from, but that's essentially what this feeling boils down to. he wants to hold kai closer.

his hand goes back to kai's hair, and the one around his middle flattens in the small of his back. they're really pressed together like that, and neve shifts his legs so they can get more comfortable. ]

[ Officially, he would not survive the nap at the rate they were going. First, it seemed like Neve might kiss him and now the kind of nice comment. Neve liked if he smelled like him? What did it mean? It had to mean something even if he didn't know what exactly.

When they shifted closer, he tangled their legs together to make it more comfortable for both of them, pointedly not picturing a lot of choice images. Now would not be the time but he felt so hyperaware of their proximity and the line of heat rushing over him.

He tucked his face against Neve's neck, slowly winding down again. ]


Don't - leave, okay? [ a hint of pleading filled his voice with the rords and if he wasn't so tired he would be mortified by it. ]

If - just wake me up if you want -
osmic: (Default)

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-22 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ it makes neve's chest ache to hear, and he wants to soothe whatever causes kai to sound like that when saying that. lucky for kai, there's nowhere neve has to go, even in the morning. and honestly, nowhere he' rather be right now, right at this moment. this is pretty good.

it feels good. he's hyper aware of every spot of contact between them, yet it's good. ]


I'm not going anywhere, Kai. [ he means that, in the moment.

he'll think about it again later, when the panic settles in. but right now, he means it. his hand strokes at his back to soothe him. ]


You can sleep. I'll be here when you wake up.
seafoamed: (bashful)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-22 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not that tired.

[ The words were mumbled and barely above a whisper since he had already started to lose the battle with falling asleep. But in his defense, it had been awhile since he found any kind of restful sleep. His family kept him very busy and then the shop took over the other allotted time. On top of all that he took on independent jobs too.

He might have a slight problem with the word no.

In his sleep, he stayed close to Neve and even if he meant it as a quick actual nap, he slept for hours and hours instead.

When he did finally stir slightly, it was morning and he gave a faint grumble as he tried to bury further into the blankets and away from the awakening light. ]

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-22 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ neve dozes off a while after kai. it takes him longer to fall asleep, but he doesn't mind. he gets to soak in kai's presence, his soft breaths, his warmth. he gets to keep him close and lie here, thinking, i'm really cuddling with kai right now and try to absorb it.

he doesn't overthink it. he enjoys it.

kai's sleeping face tugs at his heart.

eventually, he dozes off. in sleep, he doesn't let go of kai either. if he shifts, he takes kai with him.

which might explain why he's got a leg slung over kai's hip when kai wakes up. neve is slow to wake, and not a morning person — when he hears a grumble and feels some shifting, he scowls, half asleep, and his hand seeks purchase somewhere to keep the warm body he's tangled with from moving too far. except his hand just ends up going up kai's shirt. ]
seafoamed: (oh!)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-22 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ As consciousness spread over him, Kai slowly blinked his eyes open and took in the sight literally around him. The feel of Neve's hand on his actual skin took much of his focus as he woke up. He had Neve touching him! Skin on skin!

Hazy vision cleared and he let out a soft breath at seeing Neve. How unfair for one person to look so beautiful sleeping. Or partly sleeping if the huffing could be any indication.

How cute. Kai wasn't much of a morning person either and preferred to not seal with cheery morning people but he did feel giddy to have Neve so close. He felt him everywhere and what a heady rush it made. ]


Good morning, marshmallow. [ the words were husky and his accent stronger thanks to all the sleep. Without thinking, he pressed a soft kiss to Neve's neck. ]

Still sleepy but - kinda hungry.
osmic: (pic#12014726)

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-23 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
No. [ good morning? no thank you, he'd like to keep sleeping, thank you very much. his hand feels warm... he runs it over kai's skin, not really thinking about it, because he's warm and comfortable and there doesn't need to be anything else going on. it's morning, but he doesn't feel cold. ]

S'food in kitchen, [ he mumbles, still half asleep, and tightening his grip on kai so he can't actually go anywhere.

not just yet.

wait.

did he kiss his neck?

neve cracks an eye open, but doesn't say anything. it was probably an accident. ]
seafoamed: (head tilt)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-23 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ No? Okay, Neve really isn't a morning person, even less than he is but he found it oddly endearing. He found practically everything about Neve endearing in some way, which should have worried him. Actually, how he felt overall should have worried him.

Nuzzling at Neve's neck, the hand running along his back soothed him more. But he really couldn't sleep more, there were so many things to take care of. ]


Mmmm [ he hummed out, pressing his lips again lightly over Neve's neck. Another short burst of bravery even if it couldn't count for much. ]
osmic: (pic#12032826)

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-23 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ so... not an accident, then.

or maybe a thoughtless thing?

that hum didn't help matters, with kai pressed so close it was like neve could feel it.

his hand stilled on kai's back, and he very slowly turned his head. not to move away from kai, but kind of... giving more room. maybe encouraging. it felt nice, and he wasn't fully awake yet, and he didn't want to get out of bed yet either. ]
seafoamed: (looking down)

[personal profile] seafoamed 2018-01-23 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ when Neve started to move, Kai worried he read things wrong and stilled for a moment. He didn't like making moves for the very reason they could be shut down and rejected. He had a very deep fear of rejection since his whole existence rested on it.

But he didn't need to worry at all. Neve only moved to get - more. Another burst of a heady rush.

Trying to not blush or fumble, he pressed his lips up and down Neve's neck, teeth scraping slightly. ]
osmic: (Default)

[personal profile] osmic 2018-01-23 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ well. at the graze of kai's teeth, neve lets out a sound that could only be a moan. it's not his fault his neck is sensitive, or that no one ever touches it, or that he's hyper aware of every point of contact between them again and that kai's mouth is warm and wet against his skin.

it feels so nice. he's not even realising he moaned at all. and his hand picks up it's movements again, this time so his fingers draw idle patterns against his skin.

and his leg over kai's hip tightens, drawing him against him more closely. ]
