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!!]

Edited 2020-01-30 21:40 (UTC)

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.

Yes... much like there rest of me.

...

[WAIT A SECOND HE IS BEING TOUCHED!!! Eichi's body stiffens in alarm, though the muscles in his back beat his wings were already taut; he's wearing his stress on his back, and hasn't relieved any of it, leaving it knotted and over- sensitive. His wings twitch reflexively, folding up as if he could protect them by holding them closer to his body.]

S-sto-...

[fox withdraws his hand quickly]

Ah--my apologies.

[soft tho...]

I...

[He can't defend his back, he was about to say stupidly. But he thought better of it.]

Just warn me before you touch them, please.

... very well.

[fidgets with his hands for a few moments, while blood slowly drips down his face to his chin and onto the floor--which is when fox remembers he should fix that, oops]

I am going to see if I can stop this nosebleed. Shall I meet you at the baths?

[Eichi can't help but stare as he looks over his shoulder at Fox. What a lovely little imperfection on that otherwise flawless skin. It's almost a shame to clean it now, but Eichi keeps that thought to himself.]

Aha, absolutely~

I'll meet you there.

[fox absconds!!! leaving a bloody trail behind him lol. time to fuss in the bathroom while he stuffs his nose full of paper towels and tilts his head back until the bleeding stops.

he definitely takes longer than expected, even still... fox splashes some water on his face a few times and stares at himself in the mirror. what am i doing? he asks himself. what do i want?

...

eventually, he'll turn up at the onsen changing room, looking for eichi]

[Eichi watches as he goes, his head tilting curiously. Well, that's that for now. He turns away as soon as Fox is out of his vision, heading towards the baths. It seems like he'd only just gotten dressed, but is now to undress again.

He does so before the onsen itself in order to wash himself before the bath. He tries not to think about just how odd this is, scrubbing at his body and lingering at the scars on the insides of his arms and the scales that covered his hands, humming a little to himself.]
