(GIVE HIM SOME TIME... it won't take him long to find Aki. And Aki will probably notice because the feelings seem to grow stronger from proximity or something. When he finds him........
[ Aki is surprised, but he also has good reflexes, so it doesn't take that much for him to open his arms and lift Tsurumaru into them, spinning him a little with a quiet laugh. ]
(Oh. He loves these little moments when Aki acts boldly out in the open. It makes his heart skip a beat and his body feel all weak as he braces himself against the wall and tilts his head to kiss him in turn. Careful not to be too excited in case anyone walks by but still enjoying their time alone,)
Mhm.
(He hums into him, proud and pleased to be praised. He even gives Aki a little tug closer, nipping gently at his lip, offering a little more in turn before pulling away, still close so their noses brush together,)
[ He won't go too far, not when anyone could turn the corner of the corridor and see the two of them together like this, but he lets himself enjoy it all the same. It's too easy to lean in and kiss Tsurumaru properly now, to feel the gentle scrape of teeth against his lip, to groan softly.
He has to force himself to be good, at least for now. ]
Thank you.
[ Another year older. Not that it matters.
Sighing, he steps back and lets Tsuru slide down. ]
(If anything, he sounds excited? Opening the pack, he takes one stick out... and holds it between his teeth. Fangs still sharp, he smiles playfully at Aki and raises his chin, the other end of the stick pointing at him. It's the pocky game. He wants to play.)
(Another bite, this one bringing up close to Aki's face, noses touching. The next one will surely be the last one unless Aki wants to be cheeky about it. He doesn't really know what to expect with him sometimes which makes him smile, waiting to see what his next move will be. )
[ Aki thinks about teasing him, thinks about how it might be to bully him just a little, but he can't resist; he leans in to finish the sweet treat, kissing Tsurumaru instead, eyes flickering closed. ]
(To be honest, he isn't sure if this means he's lost or won by the rules. It doesn't really matter in the end when he still feels like a winner. He can't help but giggle, amused by how silly all of this is and he smiles against him as he kisses him soft and sweet. It's short but he thinks about how many sticks are left in the box and how many more times they could play and really, why rush?
His ring, still on, may feel light, playful... like an exciting new crush, like falling in love again. He's still so charmed even after all of these months and when he pulls away, he's quick to lean in and whisper into Aki's ear,)
Oh no.
(These snacks were dangerous, right? Aki had said so himself. There were plenty of reports to support it. There was nothing about this particular type but why not have some fun,)
I think I want to kiss you again. (It's clear that that he's teasing,) Maybe these are dangerous.
[ Does it matter who wins or loses when they both get to enjoy themselves like this? Flushed, Aki leans back to look at Tsurumaru, their noses bruising and his mouth tasting like sweetness - and not just from the candy. He wants to steal more of them, to take more, but he has restraint enough to stop himself from giving into the urge too swiftly. ]
I did try to warn you.
[ A little kiss to Tsuru's nose, and then Aki is reaching for his hands. ]
(And he'd chosen not to listen. Of course, he'd also known this particular box was also harmless. It's all fun and games right now and he laces his fingers with Aki, giving his hand a squeeze as he slides over to be by his side.
He's an old soul but right now, one wouldn't know it. Leaning against him, giggling as he tugs him along towards his room-- to their room. Compared to before where they'd hidden away and stayed quiet while exchanging kisses, he doesn't mind as much if others see him right now. It's no secret that they're a pair, just like it isn't a secret that Aki spends more time in the Everlight wing than his own.)
When Denji-kun is free, we'll show you what we got.
(It's their combined surprise for him. A little lower, only for him to hear,)
But I can give you a small surprise first. (And he leans into him, not caring if they stumble just a little down the hallway,) What do you think it is? I'll let you have one guess.
[ Aki goes with him down the hall, not thinking too much about the strangeness of it all. There are horrors, he thinks, not too far away, around the corner and threatening them all, but there's happiness to be found here for the moment.
Together, he and Tsurumaru can be happy.
Resisting the urge to laugh, he huffs a little, taking Tsuru's hand in his own and squeezing gently. ]
A surprise? [ He hums softly. ] Is it something sweet?

Even when he gets down, he doesn't let go, keeping his arms around him and letting some of his weight hang from him,)
Today is a special day. Not just for you, you know.
(And its only now that the lets go and he rummages thru the sleeve of his haori for a second to pull out......... a box of regular chocolate pocky.)
Do you know what these are?
no subject
[ Aki is still leaning into him, unwilling to move or go too far, too content and happy. ]
I've heard these ones are dangerous, though.

It's one game.

Maybe.

That isn't a guess.
