S'pretty common. Flash, Black Canary are on their second. There's a few Green Lanterns running around at the same time. Blue Beetle's on his third. ... Wally's cousin took up his mantle already. Robin's--
[ hm. he stops there, shaking his head ]
They're great. Batgirl's... ha, she's better than me at nearly everything. I've known her since we were kids. [ it's fond. ] Robin's still finding his footing, but the kid's smart. Figured out my secret identity-- and B's-- back when I was still Robin. Just... kept it for himself the whole time. He's gonna be better than me. I know it.
[ and, oh. what would they think of him now. dick blinks ]
When you say it like that maybe it does make more sense. But I guess I'm thinking of it in the way where I would never want someone to be me. [No one deserves that.
Those descriptions get a small grin though, more melancholy than anything. He doesn't have much to compare to, obviously, but he thinks he can understand enough. They're important to him. That's the main takeaway. ] They say that the best parts of us are what other people see. ...or maybe that's just something I read on a fortune cookie somewhere. Point is, maybe that's true but they probably think highly of you, too. [Its own double edged sword.] Weird, isn't it?
Well. No offense to your legacy but I think I still like Dick Grayson better.
[But at that he puts a hand over Dick's face] This is why I leave the speeches to Carlos and philosophy to Akane. You could at least pretend that wasn't lame.
[He's into the idea of kissing? He's super here for it and he'll kiss back except he. Recognizes the song and he can't help but laugh into it so here they are.]
Dork... [Not that it stops him from bringing a hand up to cradle the back of Dick's head. Good job x2 idiots.]
[ dick's grinning like he's proud to have made him laugh, or maybe he's just proud junpei got his stupid reference. either way, it's very smug, and does nothing at all to stop him from kissing him. he seems to be in a mood for soft make outs, since that's what he's going for ]
Yeah, I remember. [He can't just leave it alone, and it's even more annoying that he kind of likes the smugness. But no more talking, maybe. Soft makeouts are acceptable and it's like he said to him earlier. It's not just about sex. Who the fuck knows what it's about? He's more than okay with keeping things slow even if laying like this isn't super comfortable and he's still shirtless. Great.]
[ this is honestly not the most comfortable position for either of them, and since dick's already made one bad contortionist decision today, he's the one who stops the make outs so they can maybe like. fix that whole mess. and junpei's still wearing jeans even though they're still undone, and dick blinks slowly. he is still wearing lingerie.
they really are a mess. ]
Wanna go again?
[ it's casual, because he honestly-- just the making out is more than fine. dick isn't even turned on right now, really. just wants the touch and the closeness again. it's why he kissed him. ]
[Dick's stopping them from making out, and it means he's pausing to actually think about that. Like, yeah, he wouldn't mind but at the same time he's thinking about a lot of things that were said and he's still kind of wiped, so. He shrugs lazily.]
If it gets there, it gets there. [That's not really an answer.] Between you and me I don't get to make out much in this place. [Sometimes...a dude just wants to kiss people instead of turning everything into fucking. ]
[Every time I remember Dick is in lingerie and Junpei is shirtless with undone jeans while being soft I laugh. But anyway, he's comfortable in his claimed position on top, settling there and letting his hands settle on Dick's shoulders and neck. Just Kissing means that he's not rushed or desperate, mouth pliant and slow while he makes zero moves to actually do anything else. If Dick really wants a round two he'll have to maybe speak up otherwise Junpei is going to keep doing this. Granted he's also kind of letting one of his legs drift between Dick's but that's more out of balance than anything. There's a bite to his mouth but it's still gentle. Good thing they have nothing else to do tonight.]
[ they are doing amazing? dick's putting his own arms around junpei's waist, loosely, and he's got his legs spread to help junpei position himself if necessary. he's moaning into junpei's mouth at the bite, licking at it afterwards out of reflex more than anything. it's all very gentle and soft from his end so far, because he did. mean it when he said he was fine with the making out ]
[His leg is definitely between Dick's but he's not using it to grind against him or anything. He's running a foot over Dick's leg, humming against his mouth at the lick. He curls in closer and there's a quiet murmur while he lets his tongue seek out Dick's instead. His hands are both in Dick's hair though and running his fingers through it, a light scalp massage going on there just because he can. ]
[ dick runs a hand along junpei's back, back and forth, just. light petting while some sloppy make-outs are going on. there's an appreciative noise at the scalp massage as dick shudders a little at the sensation of it. i only have one kiss icon you're gonna suffer it for a bit ]
[This is just going to be a handful of tags back and forth about how they're making out. It's fine? He's letting the kiss get a little deeper but it's still slow and not rushed. Eventually though he does pull back enough to peck a kiss to his lips. They can go back to making out in a second.]
[ there's maybe a noise of protest when the make out stops but you cannot prove anything. we are still vocal grayson over here but you can't prove anything.
he tilts his head a bit, moving a hand to play with the waistband of junpei's jeans ]
Mmhmm. [ that's not an answer that's just sort of an agreeable noise, dick. ]
[ he liked the jaw kissing but making out is better? although for someone who says just making out is fine he's suddenly trying to take junpei's pants off. but only his jeans? All the while not trying to stop kissing ]
[Well. He notices. He definitely notices and he just sort of smirks into the kissing and shifts his hips but otherwise does fuck all to help. If Dick wants him out of his jeans he has to figure it out himself because Junpei isn't breaking the kiss.]

[ it's why so many of them die without anyone ever knowing. dick does not want to say that, but at junpei's talk he just. hums, vaguely. ]
You're right. [ a beat ] You do sound like a fortune cookie.
no subject
[But at that he puts a hand over Dick's face] This is why I leave the speeches to Carlos and philosophy to Akane. You could at least pretend that wasn't lame.
no subject
but dick just. licks at whatever part of junpei's hand or wrist he can reach from where it's covering his face. ]
It's okay. I like fortune cookies.
no subject
Guess I should consider myself lucky then?
no subject
Yep.
no subject
I'm not really a guy who believes in luck anymore. But I think I could believe that.

[ ha ha, dick's master plan has been fulfilled. now that he is down junpei is close enough to kiss.
which dick does, for some reason, soft and slow. he also may or may not be humming the "remember the name" song into it. ]
