He is TRYING to be CHARMING and PLAYFUL, and Ryo is out here pinching his CHEEKS (face) and ruining it!!! He immediately shifts to attention, bunching his face up.]
Owww!
[Said not because Ryo attacked him but because the pinch surprised him and kind of stings a bit. Dang!]
[ help. he absentmindedly places a hand over where akira had placed his on his waist. he's more amused than anything, not really taking offense to akira's abrupt departure.
ryo will just double check that jd is good before walking back to the table. ]
I can go start the bath for you, it'll take a bit for it to get full.
Mm. And you can have my bed again for when you go to sleep.
[ since akira barely wanted to leave it in the first place.
but ryo will just quickly make his escape after that to head upstairs for bath. jd will eventually exit the kitchen to see what akira is doing now that he ate his food. ]
[Ryo is killing him. It hasn’t even been a day. This is the worst thing. He’s… He was trying to behave! He was trying to go (i typoed this as ho and almost didn’t catch it) slow.
But there is never any slow with Ryo it feels like… except for Ryo changing. It’s all fast and sudden. He’s going to have to rip the band-aid off sooner rather than later apparently.
He gets to the door of the kitchen by the time he runs into the cat.]
Good dinner, JD? Ryo’s in the bathroom.
[He goes into the kitchen to clean up and put everything away.]
upstairs ryo will start to run the bath, and then will go to grab a spare towel and find some clothes that akira can change into. he'll place it all on the counter. the bathroom is very large, with a big tub and a separate shower and nice countertops. i tried googling images and got lost in the selection so i gave up.
but he wanders back down when the tub is full, and he calls from the bottom of the stairs, ]
[I am imagining Ryo’s very expensive and clean bathroom.
In a few minutes, the sound of Akira climbing the stairs drifts to the second floor.
He already has his shirt off, clutched in one hand. The other arm is occupied by the black cat he has perched over one shoulder. JD is giving him a few headbutts of affection, purring loudly.
Akira makes his way for the bathroom with the cat in tow.]
[He noticed. And he thinks it’s amusing and funny, so now Ryo will never hear the end of it. JD gives Ryo a merowl.
He goes into the bathroom and puts JD down on the counter even if Ryo may or may not have a conniption about it. The door stays open in case JD wants to go out; he won’t be able to open the door for a scratching cat otherwise.
The rest of the clothes get stripped off, and then the shower starts. He takes the time to get clean before the sound of him splashing into the tub comes. His sigh of contentment is so loud. JD’s meow echoes in the bathroom.]
ryo tries not to think about what's going on in there. it's not for sexy reasons but he is really hoping that cat does not fall in or else he will have to deal with a wet cat. horrendous. how chaotic akira can be is all coming back to him now
but he is going to gather clothes for himself, and then also grab some of his things so he can bring it all downstairs for the couch... when he passes by the bathroom he peeks in to like
He’s down in the tub. JD is perched precariously on the side, swishing his tail. The cat looks up at Ryo who is looking in.
Akira’s head is resting on one end of the tub, face turned toward the door. Both of his arms are settled on the sides. But his eyes are closed. His expression makes it look like he’s asleep: serene, soft. But he probably isn’t. Ryo has maybe some time to enjoy this before JD decides to chirp at him.
Akira’s eyes flutter open. He has no real intention to be charming, but he is wrapped in the nice haze of a bath.
So Ryo gets a small, genuine smile. Shy? A little. Sort of boyish.]
[ hm. he shouldn't have peeked in, his intense need to be an annoying cat mom ruined him.
ryo blinks, and he wonders momentarily if he should just keep walking or what. he probably should. he doesn't move to go into the bathroom either though, just staying in place looking at akira.
he thinks the smile is nice. it's something that he missed, since most of the ones that get directed at him are more hesitant than anything. ]
... be careful with the cat.
[ it's not said with the same kind of parental sternness as when he said it earlier. it's more quiet. ]
Akira watches Ryo back with more soft intensity than he means to do. He is just comfortable, okay! He wishes he could stretch the wings out, but they’d sit weirdly around the tub.]
[ his gaze shifts to jd, like he's confirming this, before returning to akira.
he's not sure if akira is asking if he wants to join him, or if he wants akira to vacate the tub. the answer to both of those would still be that he isn't sure. ]
[ the last time they did this was a simpler time (it was funny because akira spent it wondering if he should murder ryo it was the funniest introspection in the world).
but the clarification is what he wanted. there's a slight pause, like he's giving akira a chance to back out, before he strips out of his clothes. ryo doesn't bother to pick anything up from where it drops, and will just go to take a quick shower.
when he steps out of it, there's another slight pause before he goes to enter the tub in the opposite end that akira's at. he will be careful to keep out of jd's way. he tucks his knees to himself. ]
Well. He makes an ATTEMPT to behave himself. But sadly, he is… still a teenager in a way, and he is definitely still partially a demon.
So he looks at Ryo’s body out of the corner of his eyes when Ryo takes the clothes off to shower. This, in hindsight, maybe wasn’t a great idea. He has already drawn his knees up by the time Ryo finishes and walks out to join him.
He had been too busy ogling Ryo like a horny idiot, so his eyes snap all the way away to the other side as Ryo gets in. Guilty.
It takes him a moment to be able to skirt his eyes back to Ryo’s face. They
unfortunately drop down very quickly, then up again. Who knows what he was looking at.]
[The way that—no matter what Ryo meant or what Ryo’s intentions were—his legs so immediately fall completely open to make room for Ryo.
Just the room happens to be between his calves and knees and thighs.
HE IS SO DAMN PREDICTABLE STILL!!! “I can control them my emotions better now” his ass. There is not a single ounce if control here, only Akira swallowing quietly.]
well, ryo will just turn so that he can squeeze into the spot, his back facing akira. he leans back so that he can rest against him and he closes his eyes. ]
That's better. Tell me if it gets uncomfortable.
[ his intentions are simple-- to be as close to akira as he is allowed to be. ]
[Every place their skin touches, he lights up with electricity. For some reason, this makes him look so shocked. He really thought he could get out of being close to Ryo in a tub, naked, without hastily resurfacing feelings. Fool?
His legs stretch out on either side of Ryo’s, and he wraps both arms around Ryo from behind. Gently, he tucks most of his hot face into the hair on the side of Ryo’s neck as his heart drums away against Ryo’s back.
…His whole body starts getting really warm, and in turn, the water begins to heat up some again.]

Ryoooo.
no subject
he lets go, but he will lean in again so he can talk against akira's ear. ]
I'll take that as payment, Akira.
no subject
Tension down his spine makes him rigid. Not the EAR. His hands habitually grab Ryo’s waist, and he curls his fingers.
Why did the bullying turn around…?!
He growls huskily and pulls away, turning to go back to the table not because he’s mad, but because he is too worried about unfraying at the seams.]

He sits back at the table so he can finish the curry, and also finish whatever is left of Ryo’s too. Housewife and garbage disposal.]
…Okay. Yeah.
[He forgot about Ryo promising him a bath.]
Thanks. I’ll clean the table up.

ryo actually isn't in the bathroom, he is in his room. but once he hears akira coming he will step out to address him. ]
I placed a towel and spare clothes in there. If you need me, you can call for me. Don't get my cat wet.
no subject
He pauses at the door to glance at Ryo.] Thanks. [One brow raises like before when they were eating.]
Your cat, huh?
[He snorts a laugh, then rubs the side if his face on the cat affectionately.]
Do you want me to leave the water for you to soak in after?
[Does… Does Ryo even need to shower. He’s an angel. Are they just always clean and pure? Does a fallen angel become dirty?
Just existential things.]
no subject
but he will ignore that and just move onto the next question. ]
Mm, that's fine, yeah. Just tell me when you're done. Don't drown.
[ he will pop back into his room. ryo will give him some privacy to bathe. ]

Come on then.

he considers.
and then he shifts, moving forward in the water until he's closer to akira. he places a hand on one of akira's knees and taps it. ]
I'm going to sit here. Make room.
