NIKKARI;

[He lets him lean, hand coming up to pet his hair again.]

Want me to unbind your arms, at least?

[uncleanse]

[ he shakes his head, bringing his legs up onto the couch to tuck them underneath him and curl up against junpei. ]

I'm fine for now. I'll let you know if it becomes uncomfortable.

[crashout]

[He tucks Nikkari's head under his chin to let him curl up.]

As long as you're sure. It doesn't look that comfortable is all.

[uncleanse]

I've been put into worse positions.

[ stop, ]

[crashout]

I can't decide if that's reassuring or worrying, man.

[uncleanse]

Perhaps it's just another thing you'll have to wonder about me.

[crashout]

I'll add it to the list. [He huffs into his hair.] What're the chances of me ever learning an answer?

[uncleanse]

Hm . . .

If I leave you with even a few mysteries about myself, then you'll always have a reason to think of me.

[crashout]

As if I wouldn't in the first place? [Not that Nikkari's wrong. Even more mysteries means he's intrigued enough to try and find out.]

[uncleanse]

Just making sure.

[crashout]

Kinda dumb to think I'd stop thinking about you after everything that's happened here. [Just a reminder, partially teasing but also "Nikkari seriously."] Or that I'd want to, I guess.

[uncleanse]

Haha... I'm flattered.

[ hug him more dammit ]

[crashout]

[He's shifting so Nikkari can lean more, arm around his shoulders and fingers in his hair.]

Maybe you should be. [He's not sure, but he bumps his nose into Nikkari's head.] Do I have to remind you that you're one of the first people I sought out when the rules of the game changed?

[uncleanse]

[ perhaps junpei can see why nikkari ended up part cat a couple of weeks after this, with the way he nudges his head against junpei's. ]

Was I not the first?

[crashout]

[He doesn't mind apparently since this doesn't deter him from pets. But...there's a low hum in response.]

You were the second, but the first was just me giving a blowjob and the guy died a few days later. [Which should make it pretty clear who he means, and if not his expression isn't exactly hiding it.] But you were the first to touch me, so that probably counts.

[uncleanse]

[ give him a second to connect the dots... after which he just nods with a soft chuckle. he ain't gonna call junpei out on his himboyfriend (?). ]

Ah... I see. [ pause ] I'll take whatever you're offering me, then.

[ you really don't have to say it like that ]

[crashout]

[Not a boyfriend!! And he narrows his eyes a bit like he's unsure of what to say.]

...what's that supposed to mean?

[uncleanse]

[ smiiiiiile ]

[crashout]

[He pokes him in the cheek.]

Come on, I'm serious. What're you talking about?

[uncleanse]

Haha... whatever you want it to mean.

[crashout]

Nikkari. [And this time it's a serious sort of tone, one that isn't playing around but rather one that's a little uncertain.] That's definitely not an answer.

[uncleanse]

[ ... junpei's lack of playfulness gets nikkari to sober up as well. ]

... Mm. I was merely teasing, you know. I meant I'd accept whatever first experiences of yours that you were willing to give me.

[crashout]

My first experiences with somebody else don't exactly negate my firsts with you, you know. [He frowns a bit.] ...so don't think about it like I'm obligated to do anything, I guess.

[uncleanse]

[ ... he almost tries to reach out to take junpei's hand before remembering his arms are still shackled. hm. maybe he should ask for the key after all... ]

[crashout]

[...an amused look.]

Still sure you want to stay like that? [Nikkari...] I don't mind the stains. They probably won't really transfer.
