[Yael is patient, taking baby steps as they return to the studio proper, and...]

Apartment complex tap water. Give me a break.

[He deposits Fai on the loveseat and snags his phone off the nightstand, perusing the list of local pizza joints while sat on the armrest nearest Fai. He turns the screen towards him, one brow curiously arched.]

Any of these sound good? What's your go-to?

[ Yuui is quick to turn Yael into a human ottoman, draping his legs over those meaty thighs as he points at one place in particular. ]

That one. They're just down the street. The delivery guy gives me extra garlic knots.

[ Hehe. ]

[Yael bends one of those twiggy legs at the knee and roosts his chin on it, picking his way through the menu. One pepperoni pizza, one spinach and artichoke (shudder), and one order of garlic knots. Ordered.]

The delivery guy wants to fuck you.

[Just saying.]

[ He laughs, reaching out to fluff at some of Yael's hair. ]

Yep, and I'll use it to my advantage to get all the garlic knots I want.

[ They probably should talk, but he's scared that it'll make Yael want to leave and he's enjoying this too much to want to ruin the moment. ]

[Mm. Like a lonely street cat, Yael bends into the soft strokes of his fingers. Loosely hugging that leg, Yael drapes his knobby knee in kisses. Congratulations, Fai. You snagged a man who likes to cuddle and get a little goopy after sex.]

Smart. Keep him on the hook, but don't let him take the bait.

[...They probably should talk, but... fuck it. Yael sighs, setting his phone down in Fai's lap.]

If you think you can handle me, knock yourself out. But I won't hold it against you if you get cold feet.

[ Ah... those kisses go straight to his heart, making it pound in his chest. Yuui isn't really someone that cuddles or gets affectionate after sex, but maybe that could change. His fingers stay in Yael's hair as he twirls a few of those locks around his fingers. ]

I know I can handle you. There's a difference, Sheza. I'm not afraid of you, and I'll never be afraid of you.

[Yael lets his cheek rest on Fai's knee, staring off at nothing in particular.]

Never say never. No one is invincible, Yuui. Not even you.

[His fingers stroke gently along Fai's leg as if to smooth out the harsh edge of his words.]

How can you know the unknown? I may push you. Challenge you. Everyone has their breaking points, and I don't expect you to tolerate me at my worsr.

I won't tolerate it.

[ Yuui is forgiving, but there are some things he can never move past. ]

I've been treated terribly for most of my life. I won't let you do the same, if that's what your afraid of.

[ He won't let things slide, won't let them turn into something too big that he can't handle. At least, that's his hope. Yuui can't predict the future, but he can still foresee how he might act. ]

So you'll throw a leash around me?

[As accusatory as the question is, there's no anger in Yael's voice. Fai pushes and Yael pushes back, simple as that, because he can't be with a person who allows themselves to be pushed around. The last person who crept in as close to his heart as Fai threatens to one one hell of a stubborn women. She had him by the neck, heeling at her beck and call. Is that the kind of lover Fai is?]

Only one that you like~

[ Hehe. He laughs, lightly tugging on Yael's hair. Oops. ]

That's up to you, though. I won't take away your free will, but I don't hesitate to pull you back if I need to.

[ Yuui likes the push and pull to ever want Yael to bow to everything he says.

Though he wouldn't mind if Yael performed tricks for him. ]

You better get used to standing your ground if you want to keep me under control.

[Fai tugs his hair and Yael responds in kind, chomping on his knee.]

I like you. You're obnoxious at best, but your shitty sense of humor and constant backtalk is what makes you sexy.

[ He knows when he's in a losing battle, so he resists the urge to tug Yael's hair again, even when it's tempting to do so because Yael's words make his heart leap... despite being called obnoxious. ]

And you're ill-mannered and mean, but I like that. I like you.

There you go talking back again.

[The huskiness of his laugh gives him away, surely, as he turns to bring their lips together in a kiss that naturally deepens. He could kiss Fai all night and never tire of it, drinking in his taste, his scent, the sweet sighs that filter past their intertwined lips.]

[ He follows Yael's cadence, more than content to let the kiss linger, even as it turns into another, another, and yet another...

His lips feel right against Yuui's, warm and inviting in a way he's sorely missed. It's difficult to pull away, but he'd rather not have a potential second round interrupted by pizza. ]

Do you have plans tomorrow?

[He'd kiss Fai until his lips bled if time only allowed. Fai asks the question Yael's been eager to hear, a smile curling the ends of his lips.]

Nah. You?

I have a single class at three, but that's all I have scheduled tomorrow.

[ Yuui reaches out to lightly poke at the corner of Yael's mouth. ]

Were you waiting for me to ask?

Me? Nah.

[He presses a single kiss to the end of that finger. Mwah~]

But I was hopeful. With your busy schedule, who knows when I'd see you next?

[ With a soft laugh, he retracts his finger. ]

I can make time for you, you know. You just need to ask.

[ So long as Yuui has warning, he'll plan his other things around Yael if he has to. ]

Please. I've got a lot more free time than you do. Don't go changing your schedule for me any more than you already do.

[You're always late for lab because you're too busy kissing your pixel boyfriend, Fai... Anyway, ding dong, pizza's here. With his chest hanging out of his loosely-tied robe, Yael answers the door... and lo and behold, the shock on the delivery boy's face tells Yael he's the one Fai mentioned.]

Those extra garlic knots for me?

[ Yuui laughs from the couch, covering his mouth so that the delivery boy can't overhear as he hands the food quickly and quietly over to Yael before darting off without his tip. ]

What a bully you are...

[ He shakes his head, but he's clearly amused anyway. ]

You're the one struggling not to laugh. Poor kid.

[Fai clearly isn't a cradle robber if his choice in fuck buddies is anything to go by, so the poor thing never stood a chance. Returning with their feast, extra garlic knots included, Yael pops one right into Fai's mouth.]

You should tell him you're not interested in runts. Don't string a kid along for extra garlic knots.

[ He takes his time chewing on the garlic knot, tilting his head from side to side as he smiles. It's very obvious that Yuui is pleased with his extra haul. ]

I'm not stringing him along. He's the one who chooses to give me extra. All I do is smile and say thank you.

[ He grins. ]

I had similar things happen to me when I worked at a cafe.

Seriously? What a jackass.

[If it were up to Yael, he'd accept a few orders of extra garlic knots, sure, but then he'd tell the poor boy he doesn't date kiddies and let him turn his attention elsewhere. There's something to be said about letting people learn their lessons the hard way, but there's a time and place for tough love.]

A lot of people are happy to flirt with a cute face like yours and leave it at that. The kid who brings you extra garlic knots wants more from you than lip service.

[ Yuui shrugs. ]

And I never give him anything more than that. By now he should've learned his lesson.

[ He reaches over to Yael's pizza box and flips it open so he can take a slice. ]

Maybe I'll tell him next time, tell him I have someone else who will give me extra garlic knots.

[Flopping down beside him, Yael helps himself to a garlic bite. Why'd you want artichoke and spinach if you were going to snipe his pepperoni, Fai?]

Swear you will or I'll never fuck you again.

[Let the kid move on with his life, Fai.]
