(closed) within me, someone built a fire there

[idolworship]

WHO: Eichi (Miai) & Ritsu
WHERE: The Chabana
WHEN: Early June
WHAT: Have we met... ;)
WARNINGS: Briefly PG13

( Though their customer base has been almost entirely removed (removed, as in, from this plane of existence), they still had hours, or at least some. There were still visitors - much fewer now given they were limited to serving only Retrospec users - and so there was still some profit to be made during the usual peak times, such as the afternoon.

Miai had the luxury of not having to worry about things like hours, having a decent number of safety nets himself should his finances fall through, and instead spent the morning turning over the memory (or vision, as Suzu called them, which Miai found preferably romantic) he had just received. It was not particularly significant, nor particularly interesting in itself, and yet it was a marvel simply for what it was: a periscope into another world, another life. What a wonderful thing! As it were now, he couldn't wait to get more.

But one thing had come to him, as he played back the memory, albeit somewhat hazy, in his mind. One of the faces in particular was familiar, though he couldn't know for sure until he saw the person in question, though it's true they might not know him, nor might they even have the app. He didn't have their name to check. But the air of mystery, Miai thinks, is what makes it all the more fun; if he'd been able to confirm it so easily, would it really be a thing worth checking?

For now, Miai has just started his break since all of the current customers have just left the shop. the rush hour is over, so he feels a little lazy about putting the "closed" sign up in the window. Besides, he had a sense of who the face in the memory might've been, and Miai was lucky enough that it might be a regular. They ought to be arriving just about now, so Miai was on break . . . for everyone but them. )

( he laughs a little as he works )

Well, I've been in enough to know I oughtn't force you. But if you'd like to try it out, my door is always open, kitty cat.

( a reference - not that ritsu might know - to what eichi called ritsu in his memory )

[strayknight]

[Another chuckle.]

Kitty cat? I like it~ Who said you were forcing. Just stating this would be my first one~

[He playfully muses as he finishes the last of his tea.]

You seem like fun~

[idolworship]

( and just as ritsu finishes, miai is already refilling his cup, leaning down close, a little too much so, his voice a little too much low )

Then I ought to treat you especially well, don't I?

( fufu. he lingers a moment, then pulls back, and sets down the pot )

I can be fun, if you want me to be ♪ Mmm, what do you want to do after dinner? If you're a vampire, is it true you're more active at night?

( that's both an innocuous question and. not, )

[strayknight]

[That was pretty nice to have a new cup of tea so quickly. The closeness doesn't bother Ritsu in fact he moves closer himself. Putting his own head back on his hand he smirks at Miai.]

Hmm~ Then spoil me a lot. Guess I don't mind going out with you then.

[Did he just get a boyfriend? Seems like that.

Ritsus picks up his cup so Miai can return to his own.]

I like most foods? I like sweets too...So dessert is good. In a way~ Do you want to play more at night?

[idolworship]

Then you're in luck; I do like spoiling people. It just depends on how you like to be spoiled.

( miai settles down again beside him, this time just a little less distance between them )

Some people, you know, they like being sung praises ... some love gifts ... and some love to play at night.

( he gazes at ritsu fondly, but the fascinated, curious kind, the way he always does with something new. he really was pretty, with his short silky hair and his deep red eyes. if ritsu wanted to claim he was both idol and vampire, miai would be plenty willing to believe it.

ahh. this was no doubt an awful idea; he hasn't dated in awhile, and for good reason. friends with benefits, he's had plenty, but . . . well. they'd see, he supposes. the trouble is that miai never cares for what's good for him; only what's fun )

So dessert sounds wonderful ♪ And I'm sure I can think of plenty of ways to entertain you after that.

[strayknight]

[Ritsu really likes being cared for but he does bring up some other good options there. Still the new lack of space doesn't bother him as he leans in again. Miai was entertaining at least.]

Why not all of that~? What kind of playing did you have in mind?

[His red eyes did little to convince people he wasn't a vampire. Still he likes them now they are good topics for people. There was also a lot of fun in convincing people he was a vampire, people can give good reactions sometimes.

Dating was not something he expected and this might end badly but that was later.]

Ecchan seems to be good at coming up with some ideas.

[idolworship]

Hmmm~mm . . . You're not wrong. I'm pretty good at playing with cats... ♪

( he brushes a hand softly past ritsu's cheek, his fingers light in his hair )

You're so pretty . . . ( fufu ) It makes me want to kiss you ♪ You don't mind, do you?

( since they're in public, and since he doesn't know ritsu's limits yet ... it seems like he's almost changing the topic, but he isn't, not really ... he just has his own rhythm to things, his own way of pacing every conversation . . . he's plenty happy to play with ritsu, and there's no sense in being secretive about what he means; they are, after all, boyfriends for this moment )

[strayknight]

Then you shou~ld show that a little skill.

[The hand in his hair does feel nice though. It's a new kind of attention and he wasn't going to complain right now.

When Miai asks about kissing Ritsu thinks for a moment before coming to the conclusion that it couldn't hurt they were alone in here right now. With a small shrug he moves a hand to his shoulder.]

I don't mind, plus I'm curious. [Curiosity might kill him but right now he will go with the flow.]

[idolworship]

If you're so impatient to know, then maybe I won't wait until after dessert?

( teasing, teasing... but entirely shameless enough to clown around while on the job, while the door is still unlocked for people to come in; he just adjusts his pace to his partner's, so he'll do as ritsu wants.

he palm brushes back and cups ritsu's cheek, thumb brushing fondly a little under his eye as he leans in, and kisses him. it's quite gentle at first, and particularly chaste, but he is a good kisser, with all his experience. still, he leans in a little closer, a hand slipping around ritsu's waist, and it gradually starts to deepen, though not forcefully. ritsu seemed like he was looking for a good time, so really no sense in lingering vanilla for too long in their relationship— or, really, at all. )

[strayknight]

Am I impatient? I didn't notice~

[Ritsu teases more, it was just fun to do but it was going to start catching up with him. Especially with someone like Miai. The man seems pretty keen on pushing more into teasing and making it more than just a taunt.

Kissing was a new thing for Ritsu but he was the go with the flow type. With a small motion he moves into his hand before pressing back into the lips. It feel pretty good but he didn't expect it to be gentle for long. When Miai deepens the kiss, Ritsu lets out a small noise before wrapping his arms around the other man's neck. There was some excitement that someone could walk in.]

[idolworship]

( ritsu can only tease someone so hungry for so long before getting eaten, after all. as they kiss he leans ritsu just a little back, supporting him, a little like he's slipping ritsu down so he can hang over him, the way you would when you're somewhere a little more private (this being, of course, anything but). the little sound is cute, really cute, and only makes miai's kiss more carnivorous, the fingers of the hand around ritsu's waist slipping slightly under his shirt, pressing light against his skin; a tease, a sign that he can and would go further, if ritsu isn't careful.

but eventually he parts their lips - not by very much, his face is still awfully close - and he's grinning with both his lips and eyes, looking down at ritsu just to see how ritsu likes it, how he likes miai hanging over him, to see if he can tell how ritsu liked the kiss. )

Scared, kitty? ( he grins, playful ) Or is it still not enough?

[strayknight]

[Getting eaten would be a new thing for Ritsu. Lots of people tell him he's cute but never has anyone done anything to him. So this was completely new for Ritsu and he finds himself being swept away in the sensation. It was deep and making his head float. With another small noise he pushes into the touch, his body shuddering softly. Ritsu keeps up with the kiss pretty easily though he is still very new to this.

When the kiss breaks he catches a small, quick breath before licking his lips.]

Scared? [A smirk, he might get hooked on something like this.] What else can you show me here~?
