crowspace | call me out v. 11.0

Y-yeah...

[Atsushi gets flustered at that comment, but they really should get going.

But he doesn’t want their date to end just yet...]

Where do you live, Shuji-kun?

Birch Hills. Not far.

[Thank god, because he doesn't actually want to be stuck out in the rain too long.]

If your house is further away, you can stay in my apartment until the rain stops... I don't mind.

I live there too, actually...

[But he doesn’t want their date to end just yet...]

Could I still come over?

[He stays close as they walk along, leaning into Shuji for warmth.]

Of course you can. I just didn't want to sound pushy, or anything...

[But now that he knows Atsushi wants to come in anyway, there's a little more of a spring in Shuji's step.]

Thank you...

[By the time they get to Shuji’s apartment Atsushi is soaking wet and shaking a bit, but of course he does his best to hide it as he waits for Shuji to unlock the door to his apartment.]

Is it alright if I- achoo!! - ugh, sorry...I think I need a warm shower...

[Shuji unlocks his apartment as quickly as he is able to and ushers Atsushi inside.]

Please go ahead! It's the first door down that hallway to your left, the linen closet is right next door. Please feel free to use anything of mine in there.

[Shuji takes very good care of his hair and it shows in how expensive his hair products are along with his body wash. And now Atsushi knows what shampoo Shuji uses (cherry almond scented).]

Thank you.

[Atsushi would normally take a moment to simply step back and take in the scenery, but he’s freezing cold right now, and he takes Shuji up on his offer to use his shower right away, shedding his wet clothes the moment he enters the bathroom. As always, it takes a minute for him to figure out how to use someone else’s shower, but once he turns it on he runs a borderline scalding shower to wash away his chill.

It works, and he exits the bathroom in a cloud of steam, nothing but a towel wrapped around his hips. He’s blushing just a bit.]

U-um...do you have any spare clothes? Until mine are dry...

[While Atsushi was in the shower, Shuji's been doing what he can to warm up himself. He'd gotten his soaked clothes off him and changed into something slightly more casual (slightly, because it's Shuji and his boyfriend is here and he can't not dress to impress). He'd wiped his hair off with a towel. That would have to do.

He's just about to put on hot chocolate or another hot beverage when Atsushi emerges from the bathroom. Naked. Sure there's a towel, but that might be more tantalizing than just being naked...

All thoughts of hot chocolate are gone. All thoughts are gone, and for a minute Shuji can't even make words. He just goes bright, bright red.]

Um... I... M-my bedroom, you can borrow mine...

[Even when he regains the power of speech, he's still incredibly flustered.]

Ah...thanks...

[Atsushi is already flustered, but when Shuji starts blushing and stammering as well it’s amplified times ten, and he darts down the hall to Shuji’s bedroom, his entire body beet red as he shuts the door behind him. He doesn’t lock it, of course, because that seems rude, but his heart is pounding already, and the thought of Shuji walking in on him completely nude gets his blood pumping in ways he’s wholly unfamiliar with.

It takes a good few minutes for his frazzled brain to catch up, and finally he’s able to look through Shuji’s closet for some clothes. Everything is so fashionable...

He settles on a plain black sweater and some kind of designer jeans...and pair of fancy red underwear...

By the time he emerges from the bedroom he’s flustered beyond all reason, smelling like Shuji and wearing his clothes...]

Um...is there anything I can do to help you out? Laundry or making tea or something?

[Shuji has managed to mostly calm himself down by the time Atsushi emerges from the bedroom. Water is heating for hot chocolate, he's blow dried his hair, everything is fine.]

Absolutely not. You're a guest in my house, I won't let you do any work here.

I mean...if you insist...

[How does Shuji manage to look so flawless even after being caught in a storm? Atsushi doesn’t know, but he’ll just take a seat on the couch and curl his arms around his legs, chin resting on his knees.]

You have such nice clothes, Shuji-kun. I’m sorry if I stretch them out or anything...

[Practice.]

Don't worry about it. I couldn't just let you go naked...

[Um. Shuji looks at the floor, feeling his cheeks heat up again. He was doing so well at not being embarrassed for all of one tag.]

And you're really cute in them, so. It's fine.

Oh...thank you.

[He shifts nervously in his seat. He’s not used to being called cute this often. Forgive him.]

Ah...um. I like your apartment. Mine’s kind of messy...

[He laughs softly. Baking is a messy hobby.]

Red really suits you.

It's my favorite color. But you probably figured that.

[He wouldn't dye his hair red if he didn't really like it.]

If you want to, you can come over to my apartment more often. Not just when it's raining.

You look good in it.

[Oops...did he really just blurt that out??? Now he’s red as can be.]

You’re...really handsome...

...You look really good in my clothes.

[At least they're both bright red, that's something.]

Shuji-kun...

[Atsushi has the sudden urge to crawl into Shuji’s lap and kiss him, but wouldn’t that be too forward? But...he wants to be closer to his boyfriend...]

U-um...I wouldn’t mind coming over more often. You can come to my place too. Or the bakery...

[He laughs softly.]

I’m glad I got to be your Valentine..

Me too.

[After a moment, he pats the spot on the couch next to him. At least sit next to him, if you aren't going to crawl into his lap?]

[Atsushi obediently takes a seat next to Shuji, curling up next to him like a cat.]

I admit that I’ve liked you for a while.

[He blushes, hiding his face against Shuji’s shoulder.]

I was so worried that you were going to find someone else, and I’d be all alone.

I wish I'd asked you out before this.

[They could have been cuddling like this for ages, what the fuck.]

At least now we don't have to worry about that.

Yeah...

[Shuji is so warm...

Okay, Atsushi can’t help it. He climbs into Shuji’s lap, though it’s sideways so it’s a bit less lewd than straddling him.]

Will you kiss me again?

[It's not as lewd, but it still makes Shuji turn a little more pink in the cheeks. Now he's even warmer.

He doesn't hesitate to fulfill Atsushi's request. He sets one hand on Atsushi's cheek and leans in to kiss him, a little deeper than their first kiss not long ago.]

[Atsushi immediately melts into the kiss, his hands flying up to tangle in Shuji’s hair. There might be just a tiny bit more need behind it this time, but he’s not about to force Shuji to go further than kissing for now.

He wants to do this right.]

[Shuji wants to treat Atsushi as well as he deserves. Which means not pushing him at all. They have time.

At some point, he pulls away to give Atsushi a chance to breathe, and he takes the opportunity to press kisses to the side of Atsushi's neck.]

[Atsushi truly does appreciate that, but he does want to feel more, and he gets his wish when Shuji presses sweet kisses to the side of his neck.]

Shuji-kun...where do you like to be kissed?
