[He hadn't expected Aventurine to lean into the kiss. Aventurine had. If there hadn't been yapping up until that point, he- probably wouldn't have kissed him in the first place. It was a stupid, impulsive decision because Aventurine had spoken for a moment too long about something that didn't really matter-
Anyway. And he hadn't expected that spoon to clatter, and he hadn't expected Aventurine to be so dumbfounded because of how glib the gambler's tongue usually is. Of all the things to shut him up, it's a kiss, and Sunday finds himself touching his lip and then, belatedly, hiding that with a wing because he's not sure if he wants Aventurine to see, and then not because he's probably blushing because what the hell just happened? But also, if he gets too far into his own head they won't get anywhere with this.]
I was...
[Going to go to the kitchen, but leaving feels fraught, staying on this couch feels fraught, and everything feels fraught at the moment. Fraught, fraught, fraught. He'd ask himself why he did that, but also if he hadn't Aventurine would probably still be talking. (Probably.) So he knows why he did it. He'll stand by this decision. Made his decision with eyes wide open. No matter the consequences, it's better than the alternative.
But also Aventurine's reaction wasn't...
It wasn't supposed to be that. It-
Okay, now both of them are overthinking it.]
It seemed like a good idea.
[Fuck if he knows. Fuck it. Actually, yeah, fuck it, he's grabbing Aventurine's cheek, his chin, leaning in again, and this time kissing to preemptively shut him up from anything else he might be saying, but this time kissing him like he's. Fond. Of him. In some weird way they don't really need to worry about. Obviously. If one kiss shut down both of their brains, another kiss will get them working again.]
{ if you're the one who starts an action, who starts the domino effect, you probably don't get to ask 'what the hell happened'. aventurine, on the other hand, does.
he's side tracked momentarily, inhaling sharper than intended when sunday's wing moves to cover his own mouth, to hide the way he fingers press over his mouth under there.
that's. that. that's. it's something.
it's something that somehow manages to cut away any thoughts of the excursion from his head, focuses in on that one action. his eyes drop to the wing, drops to where he can't even see sunday's mouth anymore but can imagine what he looks like under there. thinks. definitely overthinks. grips the plate in his hand tighter, plays the part by starting to speak again-- }
Well, I'm not complai-mfph?
{ --only this is a bit different. this isn't as aggressive for one thing, which was expected. it's always expected. not whatever the hell this is. this that makes the spoon on the plate rattle slightly as his hands start to tremble. he fumbles, tries to grip the spoon again so the noise isn't as obvious but he can't really look down to take it. while all of this may be going on he isn't pulling away though, doesn't really want to, which something he'll have to overthink later in the comfort of solitude.
if it had kept being like the first, he may have tried to put the plate aside. to try and climb onto his lap, maybe tease and tempt him into more.
none of that happens though, not now. he simply lets it happen. simply responds and matches the tone of it. soft. endeared. somethingsomething. }
[At some point in the kiss, his wings lift up to veil their faces from the rest of the world...even if the rest of the world consists of the cat cakes. (And Sunday likes the cat cakes.) It's just reflexive. Some things he doesn't want to share with anything around them. It's soft. It's gentle. It's various other things. It doesn't matter what those things are, it just is.
Eventually, though, Sunday breaks the kiss with a quick nip of Aventurine's lips, and then a quick kiss, as if in apology. (As if he had bitten that hard, but as an apology.) Sunday searches Aventurine's eyes, his hand still on Aventurine's cheek, thumb (nervously) stroking skin, and then-]
I-
[His eyes momentarily glance aside, a blush on his cheeks, chewing his cheek nervously, but then- he nearly touched divinity. He nearly touched heaven. Why is he hesitating? Sunday's gaze meets Aventurine's own once again.]
If your kitchen is barren we can order in something. [And, also.] But if you want me to stay longer I'd like to stop by my apartment and pick up a few things.
[Up to Aventurine to decide what he means by longer, what sort of longer would entail having to pick up a few things.]
{ the cake cats had dived behind the coffee table at the clatter of the spoon before, but they are peeking around and over it now, so maybe it's for the best that sunday's reflex is to hide them away from their gazes.
the smallest of noises slips out. quiet, but definitely embarrassing, as he finds himself giving into it. enjoying it for what it is. no rush to chase a high that this could lead to, no pushing for more. just a soft simple action shared between two people.
he looks dazed when sunday does pull back, has to blink a few times to kick start his thoughts again. }
Oh.
{ he breathes the sound out, lets the smile that is itching to form on his lips form. it's small, but it's the way his eyes flutter, are half lidded as he looks back at him that actually show warmth. }
Mm. There isn't much left from when Guizhong dropped by... but. Why don't we finish this first?
{ the wording gives some of it away, but, he glances down. glances quickly and rushed, to scoop a small bit of cake onto the spoon to put it in his mouth. this time he's prepared though, isn't thrown off mid-sentence. one hand stays holding onto the plate, the other shifts to press against sunday's shoulder for balance as he leans over to press their mouths together again. it isn't forceful like it had been with the sushi, more of a request than a demand when the tip of his tongue presses against lips, the cake balanced carefully in the hope that if it's like this he'll let him share it. }
[He finds himself- well, he's probably blushing, but he's still blushing, or maybe blushing harder in a shade to rival Argenti's hair, because Sunday has no idea when it was that he had earned that sort of warmth shining from Aventurine's eyes, but it's the sort of sight that takes his breath away, that makes everything worth it, and he's lost control of a lot of things. Sunday knows this. There were a lot of things he had a grasp on, and he's lost control of every last bit of it. And he actually doesn't mind? He should. He knows. He doesn't. The kisses were a mistake- well, okay, not really, Sunday thoroughly enjoyed every last second of them, but they were a tacit admission of...
Something, that they were also tacitly ignoring.
But also, that something was getting hard to ignore, so it was maybe inevitable.
Regardless, he watches, like a vole numbed by a fox's riddle, waiting to be eaten, as Aventurine scoops up a little bit of cake on that spoon, and puts it in his mouth. Aventurine presses against his shoulder; he moves to support him. It's like a stupid dance as they kiss again, and Sunday's mouth immediately opens with a little desperate groan because in the end, he's eager to please. He'll take whatever Aventurine gives him, and he's eager to please. His tongue is in his mouth, trying to taste every last bit of the cake, or just famished after having denied himself certain things for a while, and Sunday still wants to please. Maybe the sushi just decanted something that Sunday had been keeping bottled up the second he had seen the fucking IPC envoy in the first fucking place and he had fucking convinced himself that all he wanted to do was to wreck him (not in a good, sexy way, and then in a cruel-yet-sexy way, and then it got really complicated), but maybe all of that, too, was a lie.
He'd crawl onto his lap, but there's cake in the way.
He should never want to crawl into anyone's lap. What the hell has Aventurine done to him?
Sunday breaks for air. He breathes, shuddering, and turns out that while he hadn't quite crawled into Aventurine's lap (cake, plates, things in the way) his leg did start to move.
{ they probably should be doing a whole number of things that aren't this, but ignoring the elephant in the room means here they are. there's a groan, probably a number of other noises, as the cake is passed into sunday's mouth. passed between them. the frosting incredibly sweet, and he may not have the same sweet tooth sunday has but it does taste divine.
he's just not going to reflect on the fact that while he'd been trying to eat slowly, was struggling to eat it, he's actually really fucking eager to taste it now. he twists a bit more, trying to get comfy when he shifts as well. knees bump, moving a little too far to lean closer, before they both settle in place.
the plate and cake really are in the way.
sunday pulls back for air, aventurine's eyes dip to look at sunday's lips. }
Mm. It's sweeter than I expected.
{ he almost forgets to get another spoonful of the cake, almost dives right back in for another. but no, thankfully not, thankfully he can scoop up a bit more.
something in the back of his head tries to remind him that he shouldn't be doing this, but at this point he really hopes he's already paid the fucking price with what happened on the excursion. let him have cake in peace.
so he repeats the process, barely gives sunday time to catch his breath.
maybe he should consider them a mistake if this is where it got them now- }
[Sunday, of course, eagerly meets that kiss. He didn't even think he was capable of eagerly meeting any kisses, but here he is, eagerly meeting that kiss. His mouth opens, his hand reaches up, touches Aventurine's cheek, threads through his hair. He doesn't need to breathe, all the air in the world is in the Stoneheart's lungs. And then, his tongue desperately in Aventurine's mouth, he-
His knee hits a plate. Again.
The cake, and the plate, is in the way. He is ending the kiss. Fingertips cover Aventurine's mouth if he tries to chase after him.]
Here-
[He's taking the plate from Aventurine- don't stop him, he's taking the plate. It's his plate now.]
I enjoy what you're doing with this a lot, but it's in the way, and it's starting to get frustrating.
[Sunday's moving as he's talking, leaning away- he's putting a hand on Aventurine's chest if he tries to move. Stay. Shoving that plate on that surface. The one over there, that table that's a safe ways away from the two of them, and hopefully high enough the cat cakes can't get at it. Nothing would ruin the moment like pet food poisoning.]
There.
[And now he's seating himself on Aventurine's lap like he owns it. Better! Sunday smiles a little pleased smile at Aventurine. It's very pleased. He's very happy. Isn't this much better? Doesn't this make more sense?
A hand is back in his hair, lightly tugging on it, and Sunday's meeting Aventurine's lips with his own, inflicting another kiss onto him- don't stop him. Once again, chasing after kisses, chasing after this, something he denied himself for whatever reason, something that tastes like sunlight, like summer in all of the best of ways, something he wants to bask in, and Sunday denied himself this. For what? Don't ask him why.]
{ the noise he makes when sunday's fingers press over his lips is incredibly needy, embarrassingly so, as he leans up to chase after him as expected. unfortunately (for him) he is not successful. he slumps back, doesn't move his body closer or struggle against it, just looks disappointed he's being held back for the moment.
at first he's just grateful sunday tells him his reasoning for it. that, in a way, he's guided through the process. it's only when the plate is taken, that he says he enjoys what aventurine is doing with it a lot, that his lips part and his tongue slides over those fingertips whether sunday's hands are gloved or not.
it's short lived, as he lets the hand pressed against his own chest keep him in place. his own hand lifts to cover sunday's, gives it a squeeze, and watches with rapt attention as the plate is put aside. he glances at where the cat cakes have started chatting and playing together to see that it looks like the cake is safe for now. it's brief enough that he gets a moment of confusion as sunday finishes up...
...and makes his way onto his own lap.
realisation dawns, his eyes widen a fraction, because there's so much to take in. from the pleasant weight over his thighs, the warmth of another body, but most importantly the smile on sunday's face that makes his breath audibly hitch. he doesn't expect it, even if everything between them right now points to the fact that he really does seem to want this as well. at least in some capacity. he squashes down any thoughts relating to that fast enough, but-- }
Oh. Much better.
{ and if anything, what follows is the entire opposite to stopping him. he surges forward to kiss him hungrily now everything seems to be in place, lets one arm wind around his waist to keep him steady, to pull him forward. his other hand reaches to drag over his thigh. }
