[ It's mumbled as he pulls his shirt over his head and tosses it aside. Now that everyone's left, he can finally enjoy the hot spring, and he carefully steps into the warm water. ]
I enjoyed it for the most part.
[ He closes his eyes with a satisfied hum as he sinks neck deep into the pool before slowly wading his way to where Nehan sits. ]
[ There's some slurring at the end of his words. He catches Nehan's leg by the ankle, sliding his hand up his calf as he draws even closer, until he can push apart those legs to settle in between them.
this is the waist deep part of the pool i have decided. ]
Like this, so close to each other, Aventurine loosely wraps his arms around Nehan's waist. He tilts his head to the side as he stares up at Nehan from where he is, a flush present on his face, though it's hard to tell if it's from the alcohol or the heat of the hot spring. ]
He doesn't mind, even if they're on the fast track to overheating. He scrubs a thumb over the color rising in Aventurine's cheek before pinching lightly. ]
...You can't really mean that stupid penalty.
[ Ridiculous party game nonsense. Besides, why be affected by a kiss regardless? ]
[ He corrects his balance, bracing his weight on his good leg as he blinks and processes what's happening. ]
Do you ever get embarrassed at the things you say?
[ Not that Nehan looks very flustered either; he's gotten used to this absurd level of physicality, even if he draws back an inch to give Aventurine a wary stare back. ]
[ He doesn't go far. He does scrub at his brow with his fingers, finally looking a little affected. It's absolutely insane to feel pleased about this. Aventurine is turning him into AN INSANE PERSON.
[ Imagine thinking he'd be satisfied with a measly kiss that lasts about a second. Aventurine grabs Nehan by the front of his now wet hoodie and pulls him in for another kiss. This one starts with an open mouth and the inclusion of tongue.
Ah, this was part of the penalty; he idly thinks about that through his surprise, then as he angles his head just so, parting his lips and breathing a quiet sigh between them as Aventurine starts kissing more deeply, fully. It's already so warm from the water that he doesn't make it much more heated, following the almost lazy pace they usually set.
Then he rolls his eye when they start to overheat and break away, though he can't hide a mote of amusement. He doesn't mind the petty jealousy. It's delusional, but it's like some small part of Aventurine might be his. ]
...I didn't actually kiss her like that. [ No reason to go this far. ]
[ Now this is far more satisfying, and when they break away, Aventurine runs a tongue against his bottom lip as if to savor and indulge in the remnants of their kiss.
Meanwhile, the hand grasping Nehan's hoodie moves to smooth out the wrinkles left on the fabric, slowly drifting along as he runs a finger here and there. ]
I know. I would have found you a lot sooner if you had.
[ Suddenly, the drunken slurring has left his speech, and Aventurine looks a lot more clear-headed, eyes bright and focused as he lazily smiles at Nehan. He is placated and incredibly smug, expression making that all too apparent. ]
[ He is so annoying actually? Nehan levels him a very flat look. ]
I'm going to go kiss the cowboy.
[ It's even harder to digest this knowing that Aventurine is sober, but it's fine. That is a train of thought that can depart the station later.
For now, he uses Aventurine in place of a crutch to balance as he shimmies out of his now drenched and useless hoodie, laying it out on the rocks. He's deeply scarred basically everywhere, but he traces out one of the actual reasons he's stayed covered up and wearing his stole as an actual scarf these days, which is an obvious bite mark. ]
I should've pieced together you were the possessive type anyway.
[ Nice, with the hoodie gone, this means Aventurine can skim his hands over skin instead. His fingers trail after some of the scars mapped across Nehan's body, a gentle touch, and his expression grows a little more playful. ]
Please, as if you haven't been biting me back.
[ Which is why he'd worn a shirt to the party in the first place, but now that it's just the two of them, there's nothing to hide. He grins slyly, then leans back in to lightly scrape his teeth along the underside of Nehan's jaw. ]
[ At the accusation, he outlines a bite he's left just above Aventurine's collarbone with light fingertips and a noncommittal hum. Last week was a mistake.
But then he flicks Aventurine's side, chastising. ]
You've done enough damage.
[ So he says, but he doesn't mind, holding his arm so he can sit along the submerged rocks at the edge of the spring for a soak. ]
Anyway, stop messing around. I want to take advantage of this place while everyone is partied out.
[ Once Nehan sits down, Aventurine takes a seat beside him. Back to basking in the warmth of the pool, and stretches out his legs in front of him. ]
They've got a lot of energy for people who were injured just last week.
[ He sounds pleased about this. The party had been rambunctious and loud, but seeing everyone in high spirits had lifted his own. He looks to the side, back at Nehan, and Aventurine's smile goes from smug to genuinely content. ]
It's been nice.
[ No hospital fires or curses. Only gacha gambling and a hot spring party. Oh, this audience was so young. ]

Week 4 Tues
I'm not in the mood for any more parties, if that's why you're here.
no subject
I'm not in the mood for any more parties either.
no subject
...You've been enjoying yourself.
[ Judging from how tipsy he is. ]
no subject
[ It's mumbled as he pulls his shirt over his head and tosses it aside. Now that everyone's left, he can finally enjoy the hot spring, and he carefully steps into the warm water. ]
I enjoyed it for the most part.
[ He closes his eyes with a satisfied hum as he sinks neck deep into the pool before slowly wading his way to where Nehan sits. ]
no subject
Mostly?
[ He's assuming Karma put fleas on him or something. ]
no subject
[ There's some slurring at the end of his words. He catches Nehan's leg by the ankle, sliding his hand up his calf as he draws even closer, until he can push apart those legs to settle in between them.
this is the waist deep part of the pool i have decided. ]
I had to witness something unpleasant.
no subject
Anyway, he's not totally clueless, but he has some trouble actually believing this could be an issue. ]
Is that so...?
[ He knocks his knee lightly against Aventurine's side. ]
You'll have to be more specific. I didn't stay long.
no subject
Like this, so close to each other, Aventurine loosely wraps his arms around Nehan's waist. He tilts his head to the side as he stares up at Nehan from where he is, a flush present on his face, though it's hard to tell if it's from the alcohol or the heat of the hot spring. ]
Oh? But you were there when it happened.
[ Two idiots playing stupid. ]
no subject
He doesn't mind, even if they're on the fast track to overheating. He scrubs a thumb over the color rising in Aventurine's cheek before pinching lightly. ]
...You can't really mean that stupid penalty.
[ Ridiculous party game nonsense. Besides, why be affected by a kiss regardless? ]
no subject
I do mean that stupid penalty.
[ And then he's going to tighten his arms around Nehan's waist and pull him into the water. ]
no subject
He has to catch himself against Aventurine with a splash because he doesn't have his crutch in the water, hands braced against his arms.
Maybe it's just getting used to the warm water all of the sudden, but for a second he looks bewildered. ]
...Why?
no subject
He leans forward until their foreheads are touching, the smile on his face disappearing as he stares into Nehan's eye. ]
I want to be the last person you kissed.
[ It doesn't make a lot of sense, but you cannot blame Aventurine he is drunk. ]
no subject
Do you ever get embarrassed at the things you say?
[ Not that Nehan looks very flustered either; he's gotten used to this absurd level of physicality, even if he draws back an inch to give Aventurine a wary stare back. ]
Don't tell me you're jealous.
no subject
He frowns a little when Nehan draws back, and Aventurine's hands come down to hold him by the hips to keep him from going too far. ]
Of course I'm jealous.
1/2
no subject
He scoffs out, ]
Don't just say 'of course'...
no subject
His expression softens, a small smile reappearing in place of his earlier frown. He leans forward again, chasing after Nehan. ]
Would you rather I lie to you?
no subject
You're only honest when it suits you anyway.
[ He sounds faintly exasperated, but he does meet him with a quick kiss. God. He's not even drunk. Life is a nightmare. ]
There. Now you're my most recent kiss again. [ This is said sarcastically but there's not much bite when he's indulging Aventurine anyway. ]
no subject
You're forgetting something.
[ Imagine thinking he'd be satisfied with a measly kiss that lasts about a second. Aventurine grabs Nehan by the front of his now wet hoodie and pulls him in for another kiss. This one starts with an open mouth and the inclusion of tongue.
That was a condition of the penalty!! ]
