[ And even knowing that doesn't really lessen the blow. It really feels like one of them is missing without all three of them there, and Riou finds Jyuto's hand to give it a squeeze. ]
All right, since you're so sweet about it. [ Neither of them would likely have a choice, but at least if one of them were to vanish, the other would be able to remember this moment they're having now. A red gloved hand squeezes Riou's back. ]
Are you hungry? Let me buy you dinner to make up for being so secretive before.
The shops in Caihong are going to be our best bet. I know for certain that there are Chinese moonblessed here, and one of my underlings used to visit the neighborhood regularly.
[ Ah, his hitman. Yan Qing. Fond memories. ]
Where there's food there should be alcohol, but if not we can take something to go and buy drinks at the super market. [ Jyuto has been both sensitive and sentimental while drinking lately. Fits of either sadness or extreme affection are both very likely. ]
I'll try to speak up more. Tell me if it's too much.
[ He pauses for a moment. This feels like a kind of defining moment for them, so speaking of things that he wants to tell Jyuto sometimes.. Well, in a manner of speaking. ]
If you're not at work and I want to hold you, may I?
...? [ There's a delay in Jyuto answering Riou, not because he's put off by the question but rather because he wonders how long Riou's wanted to hold him outside of work. ]
You've been holding back the desire to do so until now? [ That's the implication that's been made. Jyuto swallows. ] Of course you may.
[ He doesn't want to do it without asking, especially after the beach. A flirty comment in front of friends had Jyuto taken aback, the idea of holding him seemed distant. And yet Riou can't help but want more. He may not seek to possess Jyuto and he doesn't want to come off that way, but he does want to be close to him. ]
Is it because I play too many mind games? [ The word "inappropriate" makes that instance at the beach party come to Jyuto's mind, too. He's always been elusive, but he wishes he could retract how he'd responded, simply because Riou isn't the kind of person to push his boundaries, even ones feigned. Sure the two of them had fucked on the beach afterward, but Riou may still believe he'd done something uncomfortable that day. ]
I promise I'll be more honest and upfront with you from now on. Or at the very least, be clear about when I'm trying to play with you.
You can play whatever games you want with me. If I'm not catching up, tug your ear lobe.
[ That way Riou can be clued in without Jyuto having to stop the conversation or make it awkward and can change strategies without disrupting their flow. ]
I think I was. [ Preoccupied worrying. He doesn’t seem troubled by that fact or unhappy with it, only in agreement with what Riou says. ]
No need to thank me for it, though. You worried about me too, didn’t you? Hence why we’re here like this now. That all settled, I’ll tug on my earlobe when you don’t seem to register that I’m teasing you. I hope you’re prepared.
[ He's giving him no time to prepare though, and plants a kiss on his cheek just high enough that it dishevels his glasses. He seems pretty proud of himself for that. ]
[ Jyuto's taken off guard, and as his glasses shift on his face, he blinks a few times while stunned. A smile follows reflexively. The feeling of the kiss still lingers on his cheekbone when it's been done, and Jyuto twists to the side so that he can put one leg over Riou's lap to straddle.
After straightening his arms, he drapes them over Riou's shoulders and the back of the couch. ]
Riou.
[ He says the other's name, affectionately. Then he nuzzles the side of his nose, pressing a soft kiss of his own against Riou's lips. ]

[ He barely eats out anywhere so he doesn't really know. There's no China here. He sits forward a little. ]
And alcohol. We should pour one out for Samatoki.

A really good idea, actually.
I wonder why I didn't think of it first.

You were busy worrying about me. Thank you.

[ Riou smiles back, settling in next to him, content to simply hold him unless Jyuto needs or wants something else. ]
