[closed] | It started out with a kiss how did it end up like this...

Who: Bandou and Enomoto
Where: Around the Near Shore
When: Backdated - May 21
What: Just a couple of dorks who are absolutely not going out on a date
Warnings: Awkwardness

[ But like a stereotypical date, he's asked Bandou to meet him at Hachiko in Shibuya. Quietly, he has to wonder what the hell he's doing. Was yesterday's conversation really a thing? Did they really agree to be a thing that seemed to be more than friends but less than... going out?

He lingers unnoticed around the statue, just people watching. It's later in the afternoon, just when the sun's gone down so there's plenty to see. Students running home after cram school, others meeting up with their friends for a quick bite after club. Office workers rushing home. Of course, he does spot the odd couple in the crowd. There are pairs who could possibly be around his age, meeting up and walking off arm in arm. 'Must be nice', he thinks. It would be nice to find someone he could take out and feel perfectly comfortable with.

Bandou's face comes to mind and he's quick to shake his head as a flush comes to his cheeks.

Get it together, Eno.

But he does spot him across the crowd and oddly enough, he seems to brighten up when he does. ]

Bandou!

[ Bandou gives him a small, but appreciative smile. ]

Thanks.

[ "For being a great friend, and believing in me, and not automatically ridiculing me for being bad at things" is what he wants to add. But instead, he gets up from his seat and moves to pull Eno into a hug, that will hopefully say all of that on its own. ]

[ Bye Eno. ]

No problem. We're friends, right?

[ Man, that hug wasn't exactly what he expected. His cheeks might be burning up a bit from the initial context but the hug is returned soon after. ]

Yeah.

[ Bandou lets go, taking a step back. And it's only a moment before he realizes just how intimate that was. Soon he's matching Eno's redness and looking around the restaurant again, wondering if anyone saw that. ]

Are you, uh... done?

[ The empty bowls make that pretty obvious, Bandou. ]

[ If any of the patrons saw it, no one's making a big deal out of it. They're all busy with their own meals to say a thing. But Eno reaches up to lightly rub the back of his neck with a sheepish little grin. ]

Uh... yeah. I'll take care of the bill and... I guess we could.... [ small nervous cough as his cheeks grow redder. ] head back to my place.

[ He nods, keeping quiet as Eno takes care of paying for their meal. In fact, he stays relatively quiet until they get back to the temple. All that nervousness he'd been feeling since yesterday was finally showing itself in full. ]

Sheryl doesn't just go walking into your room, does she?

[ Cause that would be his luck. ]

[ He's been quiet himself. Maybe it's the nerves. Maybe it's a little bit of both. But as an assurance, he does brush his fingers against Bandou's from time to time. Every now and then, he dares to hold his hand.

It's only when he speaks up does Eno look back up at him. ]

No. Thankfully she's polite enough to knock.

[ And stepping through the doors. ]

Uh... my room's this way.

[ Okay, good. 'Cause Kane-san definitely has the habit of teleporting directly in front of Bandou when he has something he needs to say. Probably because of the guy's aversion to speaking with him over text message.

Still, he's gonna look around to make sure Sherly's not around. Not that there's anything weird about one friend coming over to another's place and hanging out in their room. But somehow, in Bandou's mind, everyone already knows what they're up to. ]

Have I actually ever been over?

[ It's a realization he comes to once they're in Eno's room. Sure he's come over to talk with Sheryl a few times, but it seems Eno and him had only ever hung out at his place, or elsewhere. The guy's room's pretty cool, and Bandou may have slipped out of his nervous state just to get a slightly petty face on at seeing some of the games and books Eno's got. ]

No... I don't think so. It's probably the first time I've actually ever had anyone over.

[ It's been the bachelor's life for him. Not one for having friends over, just content to stay indoors and scour the bbs just in case anyone posts up anything interesting. Apart from that, his trips to Akihabara have been pretty fruitful. There are computer parts here and there. It's clear he's been tinkering. Manga, figures... sure, it's nothing compared to what he might have had back at Scepter 4 HQ but he's slowly getting there. ]

Sorry about the mess. You could... uh.... [ A pause as he rubs the back of his neck. ] I guess the only place you can really sit down is on the bed.

[ Bandou looks over to the bed for a good long minute. Man, they are really getting shy about this, aren't they? Why was it so much easier when they were naked and thought they were talking to a complete stranger? Shouldn't it be less awkward now that they know it's actually someone they're comfortable with? Come on Bandou, you've found someone interested in being intimate with you, don't screw it up!

So, instead of sitting down, Bandou moves closer to Eno, standing right in front of him with a sheepish grin on. And since it seems to be their thing, he reaches out and takes both of Eno's hands. ]

Will you sit with me?

[ It's just a little more nerve wrecking when you're right there and it's staring you in the face. But he's mentally psyching himself up. Don't screw it up, Eno. It's not like Bandou's not into this. Heck, he agreed to do this in the first place so it's not like he's just doing it to mess with you.

And it's when Bandou's taking his hands that his soul kind of.. escapes. Again. ]

Uh.. yeah... s... sure....

[ He's inching his way to the bed, sitting down and trying to fight back the most evident reddening of his cheeks ever... to no avail. Heck, even his ears are red at this point and he's pretty sure his heart's racing fast enough and loud enough to be heard. ]

This... isn't so bad...

[ Blushing bright red and getting shy is the worst way to get Bandou to stop paying attention to you. Though, considering he sat down, that's not really what Eno's trying to do, is it? ]

Yeah. It's the same as yesterday. Just...with clothes on.

[ He pauses, getting a bit red himself, but carefully sits down next to Eno. Hopefully, they can both get through this without dying of embarrassment, and the next time will be a lot smoother. Because this is gonna be a regular thing, right? ]

So... I know how you could figure out if you really like guys.

Edited 2017-02-18 06:41 (UTC)

Yeah. No big deal, right?

[ Breathing in, trying to calm any tension he's building. And with that, he's idly started toying with his ponytail again. It's really getting to be a bad habit, especially in front of Bandou.

Though the question does make him look back up. ]

I'm open for suggestion. What's the method you had in mind?

[ An overly hopeful grin is gonna slide its way across Bandou's face. ]

...You could give me a blowjob?

[ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he's turning red all the way to his ears. ]

I... thought that was kind of part and parcel of the whole... we were going to bone.... thing.

[ Because... well.... clearly, that's considered foreplay right? But he's just gonna inch a little closer, tentatively licking his lips. ]

Probably a good place to start if anything...

Wait...really?

[ Despite their little arrangement, somehow Bandou still felt like he was gonna get shut down. At least about that part. ]

I mean, yeah! We should definitely start there!

[ Can you tell he's excited? Cause he's excited. But still, it'd be nice to start a bit slower than that. So as Eno inches closer, he takes that opportunity to just go for it, and leans in to kiss him fully. ]

[ His cheeks are practically burning and his heart is racing because the realization finally hit. They were really going to do this. But it's promising. At least he could figure out if he really was into guys... and if he actually liked receiving.

But he's going to try and calm his breathing even as one hand moves to clutch at Bandou's sleeve. His head tilted slightly, lips parting the smallest bit as one hand slides up his thigh. Totally unintentional. He just needed some way to steady himself.

Bye Eno. ]

[ Unintentional or not, that hand makes Bandou's breath hitch. He hums approvingly against Eno's lips and leans in even further. Supporting himself with one arm at Eno's side, the other moves to wrap around him, his hand settling on Eno's slender waist.

They're not in a hot spring, they're fully clothed, and Bandou's completely aware that this isn't some cute girl he's kissing - but somehow the feeling rushing through his body is more intense than it was yesterday. His fingers grip lightly where they're resting and he mimics Eno's kiss, parting his lips just enough for Eno to deepen it further if he wants to. ]
