Any kind. "Compensation" can mean anything, though of course I am used to using money as compensation. The Tenshouin family is quite wealthy and powerful, after all. Pull some strings here, drop some money there, and anyone can be compensated, but here I've had to be a little more creative.

I have to use other kinds of connections, other kinds of compensation.

But really, I don't need help dressing and undressing, I just thought it might be a "fun date idea". [He begins untying his tie at the opposite end, his wings unfurling a little to allow them to get out of the jacket once it is fully unbuttoned.]

[he lied he's not calm and casual at all

despite his bravado, his roiling frustration, his hunger, fox can't hide the way his eyes widen when eichi's wings unfurl, briefly taken back to that very first modeling session when he first laid eyes on him. he's still breathtaking to someone like fox, who's spent so much time poring over eichi's visage in his art]

... ah, then...

[boy u too thirsty]

[Thanks for padding his ego, Fox. Eichi can really feel it swelling in his chest when Fox's words fail him and his eyes stick to him.]

...then...?

[He reaches for Fox's hands to help guide them to more of the buttons.] Come on, then. I can't free my wings without my buttons undone~

[fox runs his tongue over his teeth very quickly, reflexively, and quickly finishes unbuttoning eichi's jacket. as he pulls it open to tug it off of eichi's shoulders his hands linger, running down eichi's arms and pretty obviously feeling up the muscle underneath.

when he speaks, it's softer, hushed, almost raspy]

... then, allow me to assist you.

[It really is just what the doctor ordered for Eichi. Even having Tenn satisfy his appetite and enjoying Wataru's company, it just isn't the same as having someone consume you with their eyes and hands. Someone so taken by you that they seem to struggle to speak, and it's something that Eichi hungers for.

The tip of his tail curls and his forked, silver tongue peeks out from between his lips for just a moment, as if he were scenting Fox, and he grins as he clenches his fists in order to flex the muscles in his arms.]

I'm in your hands~

[letting his jacket drop to the floor, fox drags his fingers along the line of muscle from eichi's shoulder to his collarbone, catching on the fabric. he wants to tear it off of eichi's body, wants to hear the sound of fabric ripping, wants to pull eichi against him and feel the heat of his body pressed close--

but he resists. not yet. don't give in yet. you're not an animal, fox. (however much he wants to bite into eichi's neck, wants to spill his blood and tear him open, tear him to pieces--)

fox worries his own lip instead and works on removing eichi's shirt, as steadily as he can, fingers flexing every time the urge to rip buttons off rises in him]

[Eichi drinks in the attention, his hands going to hold himself steady by resting on Fox's hips as his shirt is unbuttoned. He remains collected, his brows raising and the grin on his face the only indication that his telling Fox to undress him might be anything less innocent than needing a little help and wanting to spice up their "date".]

Myyy, but don't you seem tense. Do you want me to work that out? I bet your muscles are screaming for a good massage.

And put myself in your hands, easily molded however you wish? I am not so foolish.

[his resolve falters at the end, and a button pops off as fox finishes unbuttoning eichi's shirt]

You will have to work harder than that to make me submit.

[Eichi chuckles a little at that.]

Oh Fox, it's only a massage~ Or are you such putty in my hands that I could reshape you with my hands alone?

[He raises his brows as he looks down at the button that came off. A shame, but Eichi isn't really complaining. He has enough to replace the outfit if he has to, and he MIGHT, even over just one button.]

In your mind you've already succumbed to me
Dropped all defenses, completely succumbed to me

[He laughs after singing just a single line. If anyone other than those of his own world should understand, Fox should, right? Funny how he'd come out here with no intention of truly giving Fox anything aside from his closure. He'd only wanted this to end... but Eichi isn't immune to attention.]

Am I wrong...?

[even his voice is beautiful, captivating. fox wants to scream, and he wants to kiss eichi breathless.

he pushes eichi's shirt off of his torso roughly, and then his fingers hook into his pants, tugging him closer to fox]

Must you test me?

[Eichi bares his sharp teeth in a grin as his shirt is thrown off and he is pulled in by his pants. His tail curls further, hooking Fox's leg.]

Isn't it the job of the Devil to test man? I want to see your limits.

[He licks at his lips and tilts his head then, just... curious. What will Fox do?]

[fox takes a deep breath and lets it out through his nose. the sound of him unbuttoning and unzipping eichi's pants while maintaining eye contact with him is deafening in the small space between them. fox's fingers (claws, now, with soft tufts of fur on his knuckles) brush against bare skin. fox himself is wearing pants underneath his kimono, loose cargo pants that are really just there for warmth, and even though they're loose they feel restrictive, tight]

Still calling yourself that, I see.

[he knows he should let go so eichi's pants can fall to the floor and he can step out of them. but he can't quite bring himself to let go]

[Eichi stands there, unfettered by shame or good taste, his hands still at Fox's hips while Fox's hands linger on his unzipped pants, as though he were afraid of what he might unleash when they drop.]

If the shoe fits~

[And oh how it fits. Eichi, beautiful, graceful, with light pouring off of his body in every direction; the fallen, the wicked, the one who punishes others because of his own ego, his own envy.]

Who else is as wicked as me, and even half as tempting? And even if I've yet to have that crown...

[He digs his claws into Fox, holding tight, hoping it hurts.]

...I will.

[it's the sharp pain from eichi's claws that snaps him out of it. fox lets go of the hem, letting eichi's pants fall, and he turns away from that (tempting, alluring) infuriating gaze. he doesn't say anything in response, but his mouth twists like he just swallowed something sour.

now it's time to pick out a yukata for eichi, right?]

[well no, right now it's time for fox to trip on eichi's tail that's still wrapped around his leg that he forgot about, and fall face-first onto the floor]

fflgkhgfld.

[Eichi... stares at Fox on the ground for a bit, his pants falling to the ground as Fox does. It takes him awhile to process what's even happening, because he was in a different headspace and now he's got to...

No, okay, Eichi just starts laughing, like it was some slapstick routine. It's not even malicious laughing, just... look it's funny! But after a moment, he does offer a hand to Fox.]

Mmmh, careful. You're getting yourself all tangled up in me~

[grumbling, fox lifts himself up in a sitting position, one hand held to his nose, which appears to now be slowly leaking blood. he secretly approves of eichi's wordplay but he won't say it]

You should be more careful with that thing.

[sighs and takes eichi's hand so he can stand. that was a little bit of a hit to his pride, but no matter!! we're moving on!!]

It has a bit of a mind of it's own.

[Only a bit, but it's true enough that there are plenty of times where it moves in ways he'd never really intended it to... such as how it tends to try to cling to people when he's aroused, which is probably obvious now that he's undressed.]

Hmmm, your nose...

[Eichi remains close to Fox, not really... letting go as he helps him up, and instead getting closer, clinging to his arm.]

We should make sure that's taken care of before we get into any of the baths.

[isn't there a thing in japanese culture about getting nosebleeds when you're aroused? fox faintly recalls that that's a thing right now, especially as he's realizing how little clothing eichi is wearing and how close he is and how much of eichi's skin he can see. oh no.

/////////]

What, ah... what do you propose we do?

Well...

I should get dressed first, shouldn't I?

[He grins, slowly letting go of Fox and turning to the yukatas.]

Help me pick out one, then we'll plug your nose up with some tissue! Attractive~

[with one hand held to his nose, fox uses his other hand to rummage through the yukatas. most of these are not particularly his aesthetic, just standard fare for onsen rentals, but he does find a few with some appealing patterns on them that at least are a good match for what fox himself is wearing]

Given our selection, these look to be the best options. If you want a different one for yourself later, let me know and I can look for something in the store.

[their physiques are similar enough, and yukatas tend to be forgiving, that it would be an easy thing to buy a taisho outfit for eichi. whether or not he'd want one is another matter]

Oho~

[Eichi doesn't really look over the yukatas much after Fox picks them out. This whole date is for him, after all.]

I'd need to modify it for my wings, but I'll take you up on that offer.

[Fox is only two centimeters taller than Eichi, after all. If he'd fit into anyone's clothes it'd be his. Eichi doesn't waste time in getting dressed then, doing his best with his wings.]

Are they that cumbersome?

[fox

watches]

They are.

[A yukata is not made to be open- backed, and rentals are made for human bodies, so Eichi ends up with it looking more like an oni's yukata, half on with the obi and the sleeves on his arms holding it up as it scoops up underneath his wings.]

It is hard to sleep with them, sitting on chairs is difficult, dressing myself and bathing are both hassles, and I can't even fly. I feel like...

Like my wings were clipped from the get-go.

[He sighs and shakes his head. That's none of Fox's concern.]

[what if... fox runs his fingers through eichi's feathers, from where they emerge from his back along the ridge and down?]

A beautiful burden, then.
