it's a john/shuji catchall post

Really? [ even if he's technically borrowing one now... ] I'd like that, thank you.

[ he doesn't catch the implied "indefinitely," but shuji gets a grateful smile all the same. ]

Was there somethin' else you wanted to dress me up in? I might just change back into this afterwards.

[thesettingsun]

[John just gets a sunny smile at his thanks - of course he'd let John borrow whatever he wanted.]

Maybe something a little more Western...?

[Shuji picks out a few pieces, tie included, and offers them.] I'm sure you can put this on without guidance.

[vitis]

[ this one he can manage more easily. it's a very nice outfit - one john has to make sure that all the cuffs are in place, the vest's straight, the collar's properly lined up with the tie. once that's been assembled, john brings up his hand to rub at the back of his neck. ]

Well - the reds are nice, I'd reckon.

[thesettingsun]

[oh no he's hot

That's not news to Shuji, not by a long shot, but seeing him dressed up like this...]

You're gorgeous, take me now.

[He's only a little bit joking.]

[vitis]

[ is this the power of clothing over shuji? apparently. ]

[ even if shuji's usually open in praising him, it's something about the abruptness (and openness, he thinks) of that statement that flusters him just a touch... settling a hand over his shoulder, john leans forward to leave a slow, sensual kiss to shuji's mouth. ]

[thesettingsun]

[Clothes are his third love, after writing and, of course, John.

Shuji is absolutely okay with this unreality stuff and wearing five sets of overalls if it means John will kiss him like this. He kisses back, maybe a little less slowly, and curls his hand around the back of John's neck.]

[vitis]

[ mm. humming a pleased noise at the response, john matches shuji's pace. he likes the increased content. after a few moments of this, he hooks an arm about his waist, abruptly bringing him closer with a tug. he presses flushes to him, curling his fingers at the waist of shuji's ...

... overalls. so they are a bit inaccessible, huh. ]

[thesettingsun]

[John, he loves you, but there's no way he can avoid chuckling at the expression on your face right now.]

Now you know how I feel.

[vitis]

... Listen—

[ god LMF john instantly tries to muffle that expression, if only due to the sheer fact that it'd been so easy to point out. he sighs, then his mouth twitches into a smile again. ]

Didn't expect that there; you don't exactly wear these often, remember.

[thesettingsun]

Fair.

[Shuji will do him a favor and take off his overalls... Or try to, he has to fumble to find the buttons before he can even start taking it off.]

...It's different taking it off from this angle.

[vitis]

[ john watches this display. one wouldn't exactly call it sexy, but neither had been going for sexy right now. he decides to lend a hand by, instead of messing with any buttons or buckles, simply sliding the strap off his shoulder (assuming that shuji wears it like john typically does).

then he gives a little tug to the front of shuji's belt. this part, now. ]

[thesettingsun]

[Shuji loves John when he's unsexy, and he's pretty sure John feels the same about him, because they're sentimental gay doofuses.

The belt he definitely knows how to get rid of, and he tosses it to the floor among the other clothes. It will probably be found someday.

John also needs to definitely be more naked, even though Shuji just finished dressing him up. He unbuttons John's vest at a feverish pace, finally dropping it to join the rest of the clothes pile.]

[vitis]

[ john guides shuji to the.. clothes pile, leaning forward enough so that he might bump against it. his vest's discarded quite easily -- john has to note to himself that this is the opposite of cleaning up. that has him grinning. he brings a hand to shuji's jawline, caressing a thumb along his throat. ]

—I was gonna stop this. Promise you we'd get to the good stuff after we finish.

[ yep, he'd actually planned on that, evidently. ]

[thesettingsun]

[John knows Shuji too well to think otherwise.]

If you're trying to give me motivation to clean up as quickly as possible - congratulations, it worked.

[He turns that feverish pace to picking up and sorting clothes. He will get this place cleaned in five minutes if it means he gets laid after.]

[vitis]

[ hehehehehehe ]

Thanks, I do try.

[ and he does know shuji well enough. john will resume his cleaning too, folding and stacking things into separated piles based on... well, use, he guesses. it's doubletime. ]
