crashout | DICK;

[ dick takes off his mask last, looking at junpei on the bed, and: ]

Do you need a written invitation? 'Cause I can do that too, but it'll be heavy on the awkward.

[ honestly, when he'd seen him, he hadn't immediately thought about it, but being watched and the reminder of how close they got on thursday might have made him want to let off some steam a little after. well, this whole week. ]

[There's a lot he can say here, but. He lazily lifts a hand and gestures to himself before letting it flop on his stomach.]

Kinda thought this was the invitation. [He raises an eyebrow, an uneasy grin following.] Which...now got awkward anyway. [He props himself up on his elbows instead.]

It's been a pretty long week, dude.

You're always a little awkward. I'm used to it. [ it's teasing, and it's definitely believable after dick crawls up on the bed next to junpei with a smile, lying down on his side and propping himself up on an elbow. ] And yeah, no kidding. Sooo. Chop chop, clothes off.

[ he is clearly kidding on that one. ]

I've been told it's part of my charm. [But Dick joins him on the bed and he blinks slowly, the grin changing from uneasy to relax almost easily. He sits up all the way now to start removing his shirt.]

And talk about demanding. You could at least ask first. [Also kidding, but somehow that helps.]

[ dick stays where he is, his smirk growing a little ]

Nah. [ it's an appreciative tone, somehow? ] You have to work harder than that to get me to beg.

[ no one said anything about begging. ]

[The shirt's tossed aside, and he glances back at Dick again.]

What have I told you about challenges, Grayson? You've gotta stop giving them out if you don't want me to take them.

[ dick cackles a bit ]

Maybe I'm doing it on purpose! [ with the stabbing one. he was not. but this one... hmm ]

[...hmm...

With zero warning he's just bowling into him attempting to knock him over and crawl on top of him. Apparently he's feeling better than last night, at least.]

And why would you be doing that?

[ he's taken by surprise enough that it's completely successful-- and with an "oof" dick is on his back with junpei crawling over him. now isn't that familiar for this week. he blinks before smirking again ]

Why wouldn't I be?

[He wins. He grins triumphantly from his place and he lays so they're chest to chest, arms folded and chin resting on his arms.]

Because you have a lot of other choices on this goddamn ship? [Just saying, and also a tiny bit jealous which is dumb as hell given Junpei's own choices and situation.]

[ he tilts his head a bit with a slow, confused blink, raising an eyebrow ]

And you don't? [ but he raises his arm to run a hand through his hair ] If you want me to stop, just say so.

[ it's half-teasing, half-serious ]

I have a lot less options than you think I do, probably. [Which is just matter of fact and not really unhappy. Self-deprecating maybe, but nothing too concerning. Unfortunately the only response is Junpei leaning into Dick's hand.]

...what am I supposed to want you to stop, exactly?

And I fuck a lot less people than you think I do, probably.

[ that one is wry, because it's come up a few times with other people, but it's a self-deprecating joke right back all the same. ]

The challenging, genius. Keep up.

I don't really make assumptions about that. [Bullshit, but it's okay. It's not his business just like it's not Dick's who he fucks. But he shakes his head.]

Anyway, no. It's actually kind of hot. [And maybe he gets off on being competitive.] You just have to promise you won't be upset when you lose.

[ he raises a very dubious eyebrow at that first line, head tilted to the side but he lets it go to concentrate on the rest: ]

You're very confident for a guy that hasn't done anything to back it so far. [ and then, cheeky: ] And somehow, I don't think I'd mind it too much even if I did lose this one.

I'll take that as standing permission then. [But he does actually shut up finally to turn his head enough and immediately draw him into a deep kiss. Hi. It's fine. They've been cucked for days by being busy and then by being sad, so it's...maybe a little desperate and aggressive even if his hands are sliding to the side and onto Dick's shoulders.]

[ his answering laugh is swallowed into the kiss, and that's fine, honestly, his hand sliding up to cup the back of junpei's head to deepen it. he's a lot mellower than junpei, but-- well, he also just gave him a challenge he has no intention of making any easier on him, so. ]

[On the one hand, he would be super down with just something lowkey and mellow after this week, but on the other hand he isn't great at backing down. Dick holds onto the back of his head and Junpei's fingers curl up against the sides of Dick's head and into his hair, pulling a little for leverage. He has a few tricks up his sleeve but right now this is easy mode.]

[ dick hums appreciatively at the pulling, still smiling into it. he grabs at Junpei's shoulder with the hand not at his nape, squeezing a little before resting on his upper arm lightly.

he moves enough just to mumble: ]

You're serious about this, aren't you?

[ not that he hasn't expected junpei to go with a possible competition, but it's kind of... cute, right now, that he'd take dick's teasing to heart. ]

[He's busy wriggling his way closer as Dick's hands move over his arm, lips still moving over his until the point the kiss breaks. He's still close enough that Dick's practically still talking over his lips, but Junpei gives a little hum in response.]

I'm kind of serious about most things when it comes to you, yeah. [Sometimes you just say things without thinking of the phrasing, but...it's still true? He was serious about protecting Dick from the first strain of demons, serious about working with him, and serious about making sure they'd both get out of here alive. So what if it manifested to something a little more comfortable? Instead of elaborating, he bites at Dick's lower lip instead.]

[ ah. dick stills for a second, blinking once, slowly, eyes a little wide, but he doesn't get time to really comment or think about that sentence before junpei's biting at his lip, so he sighs into it with a hum, attempting to nip junpei right back, licking into his mouth. the grip he had on the back of his head is lax by now, resting at his nape, fingers curled a bit.

there's something a little stupid about how that one sentence in the middle of their usual banter made him feel for a moment. he grips junpei's arm a little tighter and hums. it's awkward trying to talk in the middle of making out, but dick does, just to not let that sentence linger between them; ]

Then show me what you've got already.

[What if they don't talk about it. What if they don't discuss that right now because it's a little too raw and not something to touch on when the goal is to just work out frustrations. Or...isn't it? It's hard to say. It doesn't matter though because he feels the tightened grip and kisses him one more time before he starts to slip away, moving his head down a little to work his mouth against Dick's jaw and neck. One hand stays threaded in his hair and the other rests next to his head on Dick's chest, nails lightly scratching.

He's learned enough by now to know he doesn't have to be careful or gentle, but he also knows that sometimes it's the things he says that gets to Dick the fastest. Instead of saying words though, he sucks at the flat of his shoulder for a moment.]

[ it's fine they never have to talk about it? ever??

Dick seems content to lie back and let Junpei do most of the work for once, shuddering a bit at the sensation of his nails. He tilts his head to give Junpei more space to work, humming his appreciation even as he moves his grip to soft petting, not really thinking about what he's doing. ]

[It seems to work well enough for him, and he doesn't seem to mind that Dick's relaxing and letting him drive, so to speak. His teeth drag a little just for the different sensations and he nips a little harder. The hair petting gets a small appreciative noise from him and his hand scratches harder. Given the position they're in and also the fact Junpei's still wearing his jeans, it's a little bit of a struggle to spread his legs and try to bracket Dick in but he's working on it, deliberately rolling his hips downward to tease him.

What is he doing? Who knows, it's not like he's thinking either outside of wanting to touch and take his time.]

[ The teeth drag gets a shudder out of him, and Dick raises a knee a little to grind against Junpei after that roll, eyes half-lidded and bit of a smirk on his face. He doesn't do much more than that, simply lowering the hand he had on Junpei's arm so he can put it on his hip over his jeans. Dick's only in boxers, comparatively, has been since this started, but he doesn't seem to mind, putting two of his fingers in Junpei's belt loops and tugging slightly, as if teasing ]

Still overdressed, aren't you?
