[Ah, being back 'home' was the best. The past few days had been hell in the horrible place they landed, Kel was barely himself as all the negative feelings he had and how they took over his head. Only negativity in his heart until he and Basil managed to scramble back home. He had never been happier to see a small patch of pumpkins and smell the not-so-lovely 'fragrance' of litter after returning home to collect Marigold and their things. They were moving to a cottage soon and it was... okay. The trip to the garden was going to take a bit longer and this changed his morning routine a bit but it was safer for Basil and possibly better if Hero or others arrived, just in case they wanted space in their cabin.
He also didn't know where Aubrey was but... in case, now there was a bed for her as well.
Kel finished to unpack stuff in their new fridge, one of the good things was how larger it was compared to the treehouse one, and proceeded to pick up their 'daughter' and place enough kisses on the top of her head to annoy her and have the cat jump away and find her own spot on the couch.]
What? Giving me the cold shoulders? I'm heartbroken!
[He was not. After having to hide her bones, he... he couldn't get upset with her even in the slightest. Even if she was definitely preferring Basil to him as parental figure. SPeaking of which...]
Long day, huh? Hey, babe, huh... wanna go to bed? moving all stuff here has been intense and I'd like to, you know... [He moved behind the other, wrapping his arms around Basil's waist and pressing a kiss against the other teen's neck.] I showered and all, promise... and I'd really like to, you know... cuddle? Snuggle?
( Basil was happy to be home, to say the least. At this point in time, he wanted to try to just put the entire ordeal behind him, though he knew it would take time. That time spent in that desolate world would certainly leave a scar on the both of them. It feels like the end result of it all was a little strange, if only because Basil was so introverted. He wanted to be around company at this point.
He's taken the time to check on his friends when he can, but for the most part, he's focused on getting ready to move their things to a bigger place. It's true that the garden would take some time to move, but Basil had reassured Kel that he'd be fine doing it alone.
He laughs a little when Marigold jumps away from Kel, leaning downward to gently scratch behind her ears until Kel approaches him. He straightens then, gently peaking up at Kel after he kisses him.
Did he really have to ask? )
Ah... yeah. I'd like that, Kel. Let's go to our room.
( He pushes himself upwards to place a brief kiss to the other's lips before reaching for his hand, tugging it forward.
Marigold begins to follow after them. Maybe it was of little surprise that Basil was the one she preferred. Kel did ask for her for Basil, after all. )
[He was going to focus on the good, only the good, and leave the 'bad' to the side as much as possible. And he did pout when Marigold accepted Basil's love and just moved after them when the blonde teen also started to move.]
You're so lucky I'm not a jealous man, Goldie- [He did accidentally call her 'Mari', once, when they were alone... and he made sure to stick to a very different nickname instead.] Don't act like I don't see how much you're running after Basil. Tail up, purring motors ready to go, tsk tsk...
I can make you jealous, though, you know? Can you even do... this?
[He returns the kiss and looks at their hands for a moment before stepping forward and boldly wrapping his arms around Basil, picking him up bridal style. Totally not being an idiot around the cat just to make Basil smile and laugh, the most important things in a place as crappy as the one they're trapped in.]
People do say the man has to carry his partner inside the new bedroom, right? Or house? And I'm aware we're both men but, no offense, I think I'm a bit better at the whole 'carrying' business here.
[He's heavy, far too heavy. And he likes to hold Basil between his arms. Once they reach the bed, Kel turns around and flops down on it, making sure to keep Basil above himself so he won't get hurt and using his own body as pillow.]
( A quiet, surprised sound escapes Basil when he's scooped up, instinctively wrapping his arms around Kel in response. He blinks a bit before he offers a sheepish smile. )
You sound a little jealous... But, don't worry Kel. Marigold loves you, too!
( Goldie is a cute nickname... And at the least, she responds by meowing and head butting Kel's legs. )
A-Ah yeah, but... Maybe I could use my magic to lift you up instead, heheh...
( But, it's true. Kel is much more muscular than him, and tall on top of that. Basil would struggle a bit to carry him, despite all the carrying they've done for the past couple of days.
When Kel puts him down, Basil shifts just enough to to lay on his side, resting his head on the other's chest. )
I bet that Marigold will still take up most of it... She's small, but she somehow still ends up taking up a lot of space.
oh, I'm not jealous of her preferring you, I'm... merely protesting she's trying to steal your attention from me, tsk tsk. I'm claiming you, handsome.
[Grins at those words, imagining Basil carrying him and just imagining how easily they'd probably end up on the floor... but it still sounds funny enough.]
I mean, I'd happily be your guinea pig for this kind of things. I always wanted to be carried like a princess.
[He turns around to look at Basil, smiling while comfortable in their current position. The only complain?]
I can't kiss you properly if you rest like this, mind if I shift a little and give you the kind of attention I think you deserve? I know Goldie will steal the bed, later, but until then I'd be more than happy to take advantage of this large mattress...
I think Marigold might have complaints if we tried to take each other in general... She's claimed us as both of hers. ( He jokes. ) I guess that means that we all belong to each other, huh?
( Just like a true family. )
I have a lot of work ahead of me, if that's the case. But, if that makes me a prince, then you'd be better suited as a knight.
( He pauses when he speaks again, pushing himself off of Kel and shifting next to him. Kel sure was affectionate, huh? Though, Basil didn't mind it at all... After everything that happened, he really just wants to focus on good things. )
Is that better...? O-Or, you can move me however you'd like...
Oh, but I called dibs on you first... Oh, wait, no, I didn't, I got her for you before we got together. Still... fine, I guess I will accept that we all belong to each other.
[Just two guys and their fluff daughter.]
Prince Basil. I do swear to put my sword to good use in your name, my liege. I shall defend your honor, I shall defend your daughter from any peasant feline, I shall... tirelessly work to make sure our kingdom thrives and all that stuff...
[He is incredibly affectionate and the countless days spent in misery in the Empty? They make him a bit touchier than usual.]
So much better and don't tempt me... or I will actually move you around.
[He does lean in for a kiss before grinning and using his strength to pull Basil closer and then push him on his stomach, fully moving him above his body.]
I shall defend you from evil peas hidden under the mattress too, just like in that fairytale! Does your knight deserve plenty of kisses, prince Basil?
( Basil laughs at Kel's words. He can't help it. It... feels really nice to be able to laugh again. Before coming here, it had felt like he hadn't done that much in so long...
He feels himself shift on Kel's stomach, and he moves just enough so he's not putting his entire weight on the other, palms pressing into the bed as he leans in to press a kiss to the other's lips. )
A knight's vow is usually a lot more smooth than that, but it's the thought that counts. And... you never have to ask for kisses.
( He jokes a bit, a hand reaching to gently cup the other's cheek. )
[He can't help but feel happy as he leans in, pushing his nose against Basil's one and rubbing them together. The Empty sure gave him a newfound appreciation for Basil's smiles, after not seeing them for so long. He didn't get to see them back home for years, he didn't get to see them for the entire time they had been 'there' and... Kel is aware negative moments will happen again in a place like that, but in the meanwhile he wants to protect that smile the best he can.
The kiss is returned and he grins, looking up at the other.]
Oooh? And how should a proper declaration of love and devotion sound like, mh? I'm so sorry, Basil, I'm not really poetic. But I can try harder? [He then leans in, kissing the other a second time, the contact lingering a bit longer this time.] Careful, there... or I will end up spending an awful amount of time kissing you.
[He wraps both arms around the other's waist. He's glad to be back to a place where he doesn't constantly feel awful, useless an insignificant, but...]
Silly, home is where you are. Someone said that to me that before.
[Which... is true. He misses Hero and Sally greatly, he misses his friends from Faraway (especially Cris and Jay), and he thinks he should probably approach Aubrey again because they don't talk much but- Basil is his person. It's different]
( Basil rubs his nose against Kel's affectionately, and his expression is almost teasing when he responds. )
I think you're plenty poetic, heheh. Maybe you're just more naturally poetic than you think?
( It's true. Kel had a lot of words of affection and love to give to others. That was nothing new. He was someone who was loving by nature. It's something that Basil truly appreciated about him.
He presses another kiss to his lips - and another. Each a bit more deep than the last. Though, his cheeks flush a bit at his words. )
I... It's true. I really meant it. You're the reason why I can call this place home.
[This is SO much better than whatever they dealt with in that hellish place. He grins, reaching up and giving Basil's nose a gentle and playful nibble before resting his head back on the pillow.]
Oh, totally. On the levels of 'Roses are red, Violets are blue, and then I don't even remember how it goes on'. I'm such a romantic.
Next step will be taking a few roses from our garden to make you a romantic bouquet.
[He's teasing, Kel never touches any plant without permission and he wouldn't ruin Basil's flowers just to decorate the table. Still, it's a fun mental image of messing up so much, right?
the kisses are returned and he places both hands against the other's hips, closing his eyes and letting out a very satisfied hum.]
You're... that for me too. I will follow you wherever you go, Basil, no matter what. But-
[He moves his hand, caressing the other's back and tracing his spine with the tip of his finger-]
( Basil's hands gently travel up and down the other's clothed chest, keeping close. It's definitely a relief to be here with him. Even with home waiting for them, he... has been happiest being here, with Kel. )
You're a romantic in your own way. ( He laughs quietly. ) Y-You're one of the sweetest people I know.
( His body shivers lightly at the motion, and he nods his head a little, fingers gripping lightly at clothing. )
[It's always a surprise realizing Basil is somehow as touchy as he is and somehow more... intimate? Kel shifts his position slightly when the hand travels up and down his chest, bringing him a certain warmth he's trying not to focus too much on.]
Am I now? Man, I still feel I need to up my own game. Maybe I can learn how to play the guitar and serenade you from outside the window? Not sure that'd work, though... Aubrey used to tell me I have a terrible voice when we were kids.
[He *did* sing off tune just to annoy her, though, so who knows. He finds himself biting his lower lips, looking at Basil's ones and taking in a deep breath. This somehow feels... different from the usual cuddles. And he's trying not to read too much into it because- he doesn't want to make the other uncomfortable just because he's feeling 'weird'.
It takes him a lot of efforts to keep his hands on the other's back and only keep tracing the spine up and down, not touching anywhere else.]
It's good then. We can be together, no matter what. Here. Back home. Even in another world, should we end there. I love you, Basil.
( Basil offers him a sheepish smile at the offer. )
Maybe just the song would be a good touch? ( Kel.... may not have the best singing voice... but it's a sweet thought. )
That sounds nice... A-Almost like we'll be together for a long time.
( And sure, Basil may be a bit touchy. It's how he always was with Sunny when they were smaller. He'd always want to be near him, or hold his hand. Perhaps with Basil's more reserved nature, it'd be surprising. However, that's neither here or there.
With Basil on top of Kel as he is, he can feel the way that the other is getting worked up, heat building up in the pit of his stomach at the thought of it. His breath hiccups, and his cheek redden. )
D... Do you... want to try to do-- more than just kissing...?
[He moves his hands up, cupping Basil's cheeks and squeezing them just lightly.]
I shall sing for you, then! As much as you want.
AH! I really hope so! I mean, as long as you want me? I don't plan to leave you.
[He won't deny this side of Basil is rather surprising, but absolutely welcome. He loves being by his side, he loves touching him and he loves being able to show his affection so freely. Basil is warm, he smells nice, he's soft, he makes Kel feel all giddy and happy and-
Oh. His cheeks darken as he glances to the side. He was... not as discreet as he wanted, huh? The first words that try to come out are 'I don't want to make you uncomfortable' but the truth is- he can at least tell Basil is not completely pushing away that kind of attention.
More. He doesn't know what 'more' means, specifically, Kel doesn't know how much Basil is willing to explore, but...]
( Basil's eyes leave Kel for a moment, keeping silent. It'd be a lie if he hadn't thought of being intimate with Kel beforehand. It felt like a natural train of thought when they had first began to date. However, when was the right time to bring it up? And as much as he liked exchanging touches or kisses with Kel, it wasn't something he could just discuss with everything going on at the time.
He moves to cup the other's cheek once more then, gently encouraging Kel to look to him. )
If... It's okay with you-- I-I want to. I'd like to take that step with you.
( In a world where they never know what might happen, where Kel could forget him at any moment... He wants to enjoy every moment he has with him. )
[It still feels like a big step forward and while Kel is fully aware this is the natural step forward, the two of them are... he doesn't want to ruin things. Not between them and not just because he's discovering he is a teenager with some wants as well- it's somehow weird he never really cared about certain things until he started kissing Basil all the time and resting by his side.
The sight of the other's features kissed by the morning sun as his eyes are still closed is something that, alone, makes it worth to Kel to wake up before dawn.]
I... [He finally looks back at him, bringing his own hand over Basil's one.] would love to.
[He doesn't know where to begin, he read fanfictions and other stuff but he always found certain parts boring and often skipped them, and..how is he supposed to... what should he do?]
Would you be okay if I tried to... you know... learn how to make you feel good? With my mouth and all?
[Smooth like butter, totally. He's definitely not embarrassing himself as he tris to talk. Kel's hand reaches down, at the base of Basil's sweater, and his thumb slides under it, in contact with the delicate skin of the other. He.. sould love to see more, touch more, press his lips against that skin too...]
( Basil may have thought about it in the past, but it wasn't a thought he entertained. He didn't have the confidence to even consider the fact that he might even be in a relationship with anyone, muchless that he'd even be friends with Kel again.
Still, his expression softens at Kel's response. Always warm, always so loving towards Basil -- it made him feel special, undeserving. He gave him encouragement that he hadn't had for so long. He still doesn't know how he had gotten so fortunate, but whenever they're close like this, his mind drifts to just how lucky he is.
He nods shyly at the words, burying his face into Kel's chest at the words. )
Y... Yes. ( The words are muffled, but he peeks upwards at the other, pressing a light kiss to the other's still clothed chest. ) M-Maybe-- we could learn together...
( He shifts just enough then, lifting his sweater upwards over his head and discarding it. Afterwards, he moves to do the same, tugging Kel's shirt upwards. )
[He's just a real case of 'having to find the right person' even if he doesn't quite understand enough about himself to put that into words or even process it inside his own mind. He's happy with Basil, he's attracted to him too and Kel is not thinking too much about it beside that. Kel can't even say he didn't expect to fall in love wtih Basil, he didn't expect to fall in love period- so this is all a constant surprise.
He gulps when the other nods and hides against his chest, Kel's free hand wrapping around the other's shoulders and pulling him closer for a moment.]
W-well... [He lets out a small, nervous chuckle at the kiss, returning it by pressing his lips against the back of Basil's head, giving them enough room to shift as much as he needs. With both their shirts tossed to the side, he finds himself staring at the other for a moment, feeling... things, his gaze following every gentle curve of Basil's body as he tries to figure out what to do next.]
I... you're beautiful, you know?
[He is hesitant as he brings his callous fingers to the other's delicate skin, tracing a line from the teen's waist to his nipple, circling it with his thumb. He looks at his boyfriend for a moment, then leans forward, pressing his lips against Basil's shoulder.
Kel's kisses to the other's neck had always been quick, chaste, just a sign of affection. This time his lips linger in position, covering Basil's shoulder with small kisses, preparing himself to go further down.]
( Basil's breath hiccups the moment he feels those lips on skin, feels the way the pit of his stomach begins to build up with heat. He presses kisses to the top of Kel's hand, a hand moving to gently card through hair. It's gotten long, he notes -- but, it's soft between his fingers. It's just one of the things that he loves about the other.
He encourages Kel in what ways he can, leaning into the touch - a soft sound escaping him as he trails kisses downwards. )
N-No-- that's... that's what I should say. You're beautiful -- and handsome.
( Basil doesn't know what he's doing, either. It's all new to him, but it feels right. Maybe... that's enough for right now. )
You... You can touch me however you'd like. I trust you.
[Kel lets out a most appreciative hum when the other slides his fingers between the long, wavy locks, yet his attention was elsewhere. He was used to look at Basil's skin, but now he was nibbling at an entire part of the other's body he had never really paid attention to before- hell, last time he saw Basil shirtless they were eleven and having fun at the beach, things were quite different.
His position isn't too comfortable because he has to push himself up for each kiss, but he has enough strength in his body to move as needed and still focus on Basil's words and reactions.]
Nuh-huh... you're the handsome one. Your eyes are so pretty, your hair so soft and you smell so nicely, even after a day of work.
[And now it was doing 'things' to him. Kel closed his eyes for a moment, first trying to lick the other's skin, then trying to nibble it gently, trying to see which one gave the biggest reaction and... a pout appeared on his lips. It was all new and he did want to touch the other, but being a living mattress was fully limiting him.]
If anything is wrong you tell me, mh? I trust you to tell me to stop...
[And with that he pushed his legs up, moving Basil to the side and then crawling over him, making sure not to hurt him. Much, much better, Kel told himself, staring with a dumb grin at the other's stomach before leaning down and starting to place kisses all over the exposed abdomen.]
( He shifts, and Basil feels the mattress under him. It's a little more comfortable, to say the least -- and Basil welcomes it if it means that Kel had an easier time with all of this. Though, truthfully he wishes he knew more about-- any of this. He wasn't sure where to put his hands, or what he could do in response to Kel's kisses and touches.
Slender fingers continue to tangle themselves gently in brunet locks, blue eyes watching his movements. He can feel the way his cheeks heat up at the compliment, a free hand moving to cover his face self consciously. His words are enough to make his heart race wildly in his chest, but it's knowing what's to come that mixes anxiety with excitement. He wasn't sure what to expect, he just-- knows that he's excited to share something special with the person he loves. )
I-- I love everything about you. ( His kindness, his encouragement to others, the way his face seemed to light up whenever they greeted each other for the day. ) You're amazing, Kel.
( He's said it before, and he'd say it again. Still, he nods his head at the request, offering a small encouraging smile. )
I will. Can you... do the same for me...?
( But, those thought are cut short when he feels those kisses press over skin, the way that his skin is beginning to feel heated with the affection that Kel was giving him. His back arches a bit, pressing his body a bit more towards the other in encouragement, a soft sigh leaving him. )
[All good, Kel didn't know where to put his hands as well, merely using them to support his body as he covered the other's chest with kisses and only following his instinct. This... was supposed to feel good, right? He knew he was enjoying himself at the moment, silently blessing the extra room his sport shorts offered and takign in all sounds and reactions like he was admiring a work of art.
Basil was incredibly pretty by himself, but his flustered expression? The tint on his cheeks? The small sounds and the still delicate touch between Kel's long hair? Now he suddenly understand why people thought certain activities to be enjoyable, it truly was a moment of enlightenment.]
You are. You are, you are. [A feeble, small chuckle.] To think that a few months ago I was still gagging every time a romantic scene came up in a movie, now look at the effect you have on me.
[He was flushed, aroused and a mess of a man. He nodded in response, even if he couldn't imagine being uncomfortable around his boyfriend, and... decided to explore a bit more. Touch a big more. He placed a few more kisses on the abdomen, lips touching the delicate skin over and over, then he boldly moved back up- at least in theory he knew nipples were a sensible spot many touched to please their partners (thank you, theoretical knowledge acquired by osmosis from other teens) so that's where his mouth landed.
Dark eyes moved up to look at Basil and he tested the waters- first, he merely kisses the darker skin, then he liked it, then proceeded to gently suckle it and finally tried to gently nibble it, careful not to hurt the other. He... had no idea what he was doing, but he was hoping for Basil's reactions to guide him.]
( Basil had been curious about being romantic in the past, but it wasn't a thought that he entertained for very long. He barely had friends, so the thought of being romantic wasn't one that he entertained. But, being close to someone like this? Saying that it felt surreal would be an understatement. )
It feels right with you. ( Basil says contently. ) I... never even thought there would be someone who I'd be with like this...
( He lifts his hand from his face then, if only to get a closer look at Kel. He hands smooth over shoulders, down to the others back then - fingers pressing lightly into skin. There's want and need in his eyes, a quiet moan escaping his lips when he feels teeth on skin. )
T-That-- ( He starts softly. ) That... feels good.
[Kel had not been curious about romance. Best he could do was ship Rococo and Spaceboy, really. Affection in movies felt forced, unnecessary, sometimes even embarrassing when explicit scenes appeared on the screen almost out of nowhere while he and his family were together... but this? This feels... nice, to put it mildly. His body isn't hiding how he feels very well, at least from their position Basil won't really see his shorts.]
I feel the same. I, uhm... [He glances to the side.] I don't think I've ever been attracted to anyone before? [Which is true. He could objectively tell attractive people from non attractive ones but they never activated any response in him, but since he and Basil started getting closer and closer things changed.] And now I find it really hard not to kiss you.
[And if he told his old self from Faraway he'd fall for the one he had 'complicate negative feelings for'... he would have called bullshit. Still here he was, feeling Basil's warmth under his own body, exploring his skin with his lips and exchanging disgustingly sweet words with him. No time to focus on that, though, as apparently something got a reaction out of the other.]
Ooooh? The teeth? [He winked up in his direction, grinning and trying not to show how embarrassed he actually felt.] I think I can work with that, yes...
[He merely didn't know where else he was supposed to put his teeth on... meaning he nibbled the same one, then proceeded to the other one in a burst of originality. It was after a moment of hesitation that he pushed himself up once more, first placing a kiss against the other's lips, then moving back to his neck, fully focusing there, careful not to bite the delicate skin too harshly.]

Action - Closed to Basil
He also didn't know where Aubrey was but... in case, now there was a bed for her as well.
Kel finished to unpack stuff in their new fridge, one of the good things was how larger it was compared to the treehouse one, and proceeded to pick up their 'daughter' and place enough kisses on the top of her head to annoy her and have the cat jump away and find her own spot on the couch.]

Long day, huh? Hey, babe, huh... wanna go to bed? moving all stuff here has been intense and I'd like to, you know... [He moved behind the other, wrapping his arms around Basil's waist and pressing a kiss against the other teen's neck.] I showered and all, promise... and I'd really like to, you know... cuddle? Snuggle?

He's taken the time to check on his friends when he can, but for the most part, he's focused on getting ready to move their things to a bigger place. It's true that the garden would take some time to move, but Basil had reassured Kel that he'd be fine doing it alone.
He laughs a little when Marigold jumps away from Kel, leaning downward to gently scratch behind her ears until Kel approaches him. He straightens then, gently peaking up at Kel after he kisses him.
Did he really have to ask? )
Ah... yeah. I'd like that, Kel. Let's go to our room.
( He pushes himself upwards to place a brief kiss to the other's lips before reaching for his hand, tugging it forward.
Marigold begins to follow after them. Maybe it was of little surprise that Basil was the one she preferred. Kel did ask for her for Basil, after all. )

[He then leans in, kissing the other a second time, the contact lingering a bit longer this time.] Careful, there... or I will end up spending an awful amount of time kissing you.
[He wraps both arms around the other's waist. He's glad to be back to a place where he doesn't constantly feel awful, useless an insignificant, but...]
Silly, home is where you are. Someone said that to me that before.
[Which... is true. He misses Hero and Sally greatly, he misses his friends from Faraway (especially Cris and Jay), and he thinks he should probably approach Aubrey again because they don't talk much but- Basil is his person. It's different]
no subject
I think you're plenty poetic, heheh. Maybe you're just more naturally poetic than you think?
( It's true. Kel had a lot of words of affection and love to give to others. That was nothing new. He was someone who was loving by nature. It's something that Basil truly appreciated about him.
He presses another kiss to his lips - and another. Each a bit more deep than the last. Though, his cheeks flush a bit at his words. )
I... It's true. I really meant it. You're the reason why I can call this place home.
no subject
Oh, totally. On the levels of 'Roses are red, Violets are blue, and then I don't even remember how it goes on'. I'm such a romantic.
Next step will be taking a few roses from our garden to make you a romantic bouquet.
[He's teasing, Kel never touches any plant without permission and he wouldn't ruin Basil's flowers just to decorate the table. Still, it's a fun mental image of messing up so much, right?
the kisses are returned and he places both hands against the other's hips, closing his eyes and letting out a very satisfied hum.]
You're... that for me too. I will follow you wherever you go, Basil, no matter what. But-
[He moves his hand, caressing the other's back and tracing his spine with the tip of his finger-]
You know that by now, right?
no subject
You're a romantic in your own way. ( He laughs quietly. ) Y-You're one of the sweetest people I know.
( His body shivers lightly at the motion, and he nods his head a little, fingers gripping lightly at clothing. )
... I'd do the same for you. I love you, Kel.
no subject
Am I now? Man, I still feel I need to up my own game. Maybe I can learn how to play the guitar and serenade you from outside the window? Not sure that'd work, though... Aubrey used to tell me I have a terrible voice when we were kids.
[He *did* sing off tune just to annoy her, though, so who knows. He finds himself biting his lower lips, looking at Basil's ones and taking in a deep breath. This somehow feels... different from the usual cuddles. And he's trying not to read too much into it because- he doesn't want to make the other uncomfortable just because he's feeling 'weird'.
It takes him a lot of efforts to keep his hands on the other's back and only keep tracing the spine up and down, not touching anywhere else.]
It's good then. We can be together, no matter what. Here. Back home. Even in another world, should we end there. I love you, Basil.
nsfw warning
Maybe just the song would be a good touch? ( Kel.... may not have the best singing voice... but it's a sweet thought. )
That sounds nice... A-Almost like we'll be together for a long time.
( And sure, Basil may be a bit touchy. It's how he always was with Sunny when they were smaller. He'd always want to be near him, or hold his hand. Perhaps with Basil's more reserved nature, it'd be surprising. However, that's neither here or there.
With Basil on top of Kel as he is, he can feel the way that the other is getting worked up, heat building up in the pit of his stomach at the thought of it. His breath hiccups, and his cheek redden. )
D... Do you... want to try to do-- more than just kissing...?
no subject
I shall sing for you, then! As much as you want.
AH! I really hope so! I mean, as long as you want me? I don't plan to leave you.
[He won't deny this side of Basil is rather surprising, but absolutely welcome. He loves being by his side, he loves touching him and he loves being able to show his affection so freely. Basil is warm, he smells nice, he's soft, he makes Kel feel all giddy and happy and-
Oh. His cheeks darken as he glances to the side. He was... not as discreet as he wanted, huh? The first words that try to come out are 'I don't want to make you uncomfortable' but the truth is- he can at least tell Basil is not completely pushing away that kind of attention.
More. He doesn't know what 'more' means, specifically, Kel doesn't know how much Basil is willing to explore, but...]
I mean... would... that be okay?
no subject
He moves to cup the other's cheek once more then, gently encouraging Kel to look to him. )
If... It's okay with you-- I-I want to. I'd like to take that step with you.
( In a world where they never know what might happen, where Kel could forget him at any moment... He wants to enjoy every moment he has with him. )
no subject
The sight of the other's features kissed by the morning sun as his eyes are still closed is something that, alone, makes it worth to Kel to wake up before dawn.]
I... [He finally looks back at him, bringing his own hand over Basil's one.] would love to.
[He doesn't know where to begin, he read fanfictions and other stuff but he always found certain parts boring and often skipped them, and..how is he supposed to... what should he do?]
Would you be okay if I tried to... you know... learn how to make you feel good? With my mouth and all?
[Smooth like butter, totally. He's definitely not embarrassing himself as he tris to talk. Kel's hand reaches down, at the base of Basil's sweater, and his thumb slides under it, in contact with the delicate skin of the other. He.. sould love to see more, touch more, press his lips against that skin too...]
no subject
Still, his expression softens at Kel's response. Always warm, always so loving towards Basil -- it made him feel special, undeserving. He gave him encouragement that he hadn't had for so long. He still doesn't know how he had gotten so fortunate, but whenever they're close like this, his mind drifts to just how lucky he is.
He nods shyly at the words, burying his face into Kel's chest at the words. )
Y... Yes. ( The words are muffled, but he peeks upwards at the other, pressing a light kiss to the other's still clothed chest. ) M-Maybe-- we could learn together...
( He shifts just enough then, lifting his sweater upwards over his head and discarding it. Afterwards, he moves to do the same, tugging Kel's shirt upwards. )
no subject
He gulps when the other nods and hides against his chest, Kel's free hand wrapping around the other's shoulders and pulling him closer for a moment.]
W-well... [He lets out a small, nervous chuckle at the kiss, returning it by pressing his lips against the back of Basil's head, giving them enough room to shift as much as he needs. With both their shirts tossed to the side, he finds himself staring at the other for a moment, feeling... things, his gaze following every gentle curve of Basil's body as he tries to figure out what to do next.]
I... you're beautiful, you know?
[He is hesitant as he brings his callous fingers to the other's delicate skin, tracing a line from the teen's waist to his nipple, circling it with his thumb. He looks at his boyfriend for a moment, then leans forward, pressing his lips against Basil's shoulder.
Kel's kisses to the other's neck had always been quick, chaste, just a sign of affection. This time his lips linger in position, covering Basil's shoulder with small kisses, preparing himself to go further down.]
Incredibly beautiful.
no subject
He encourages Kel in what ways he can, leaning into the touch - a soft sound escaping him as he trails kisses downwards. )
N-No-- that's... that's what I should say. You're beautiful -- and handsome.
( Basil doesn't know what he's doing, either. It's all new to him, but it feels right. Maybe... that's enough for right now. )
You... You can touch me however you'd like. I trust you.
no subject
His position isn't too comfortable because he has to push himself up for each kiss, but he has enough strength in his body to move as needed and still focus on Basil's words and reactions.]
Nuh-huh... you're the handsome one. Your eyes are so pretty, your hair so soft and you smell so nicely, even after a day of work.
[And now it was doing 'things' to him. Kel closed his eyes for a moment, first trying to lick the other's skin, then trying to nibble it gently, trying to see which one gave the biggest reaction and... a pout appeared on his lips. It was all new and he did want to touch the other, but being a living mattress was fully limiting him.]
If anything is wrong you tell me, mh? I trust you to tell me to stop...
[And with that he pushed his legs up, moving Basil to the side and then crawling over him, making sure not to hurt him. Much, much better, Kel told himself, staring with a dumb grin at the other's stomach before leaning down and starting to place kisses all over the exposed abdomen.]
no subject
Slender fingers continue to tangle themselves gently in brunet locks, blue eyes watching his movements. He can feel the way his cheeks heat up at the compliment, a free hand moving to cover his face self consciously. His words are enough to make his heart race wildly in his chest, but it's knowing what's to come that mixes anxiety with excitement. He wasn't sure what to expect, he just-- knows that he's excited to share something special with the person he loves. )
I-- I love everything about you. ( His kindness, his encouragement to others, the way his face seemed to light up whenever they greeted each other for the day. ) You're amazing, Kel.
( He's said it before, and he'd say it again. Still, he nods his head at the request, offering a small encouraging smile. )
I will. Can you... do the same for me...?
( But, those thought are cut short when he feels those kisses press over skin, the way that his skin is beginning to feel heated with the affection that Kel was giving him. His back arches a bit, pressing his body a bit more towards the other in encouragement, a soft sigh leaving him. )
no subject
Basil was incredibly pretty by himself, but his flustered expression? The tint on his cheeks? The small sounds and the still delicate touch between Kel's long hair? Now he suddenly understand why people thought certain activities to be enjoyable, it truly was a moment of enlightenment.]
You are. You are, you are. [A feeble, small chuckle.] To think that a few months ago I was still gagging every time a romantic scene came up in a movie, now look at the effect you have on me.
[He was flushed, aroused and a mess of a man. He nodded in response, even if he couldn't imagine being uncomfortable around his boyfriend, and... decided to explore a bit more. Touch a big more. He placed a few more kisses on the abdomen, lips touching the delicate skin over and over, then he boldly moved back up- at least in theory he knew nipples were a sensible spot many touched to please their partners (thank you, theoretical knowledge acquired by osmosis from other teens) so that's where his mouth landed.
Dark eyes moved up to look at Basil and he tested the waters- first, he merely kisses the darker skin, then he liked it, then proceeded to gently suckle it and finally tried to gently nibble it, careful not to hurt the other. He... had no idea what he was doing, but he was hoping for Basil's reactions to guide him.]
no subject
It feels right with you. ( Basil says contently. ) I... never even thought there would be someone who I'd be with like this...
( He lifts his hand from his face then, if only to get a closer look at Kel. He hands smooth over shoulders, down to the others back then - fingers pressing lightly into skin. There's want and need in his eyes, a quiet moan escaping his lips when he feels teeth on skin. )
T-That-- ( He starts softly. ) That... feels good.
no subject
I feel the same. I, uhm... [He glances to the side.] I don't think I've ever been attracted to anyone before? [Which is true. He could objectively tell attractive people from non attractive ones but they never activated any response in him, but since he and Basil started getting closer and closer things changed.] And now I find it really hard not to kiss you.
[And if he told his old self from Faraway he'd fall for the one he had 'complicate negative feelings for'... he would have called bullshit. Still here he was, feeling Basil's warmth under his own body, exploring his skin with his lips and exchanging disgustingly sweet words with him. No time to focus on that, though, as apparently something got a reaction out of the other.]
Ooooh? The teeth? [He winked up in his direction, grinning and trying not to show how embarrassed he actually felt.] I think I can work with that, yes...
[He merely didn't know where else he was supposed to put his teeth on... meaning he nibbled the same one, then proceeded to the other one in a burst of originality. It was after a moment of hesitation that he pushed himself up once more, first placing a kiss against the other's lips, then moving back to his neck, fully focusing there, careful not to bite the delicate skin too harshly.]
