xp log: shinji and kippei
Feb. 15th, 2006 06:29 pmIt was still dark out, and Kippei wasn't entirely sure it was morning yet, but he'd been sleeping and now he was awake, so it might as well be. Which didn't mean he was ready to move yet, because Shinji was still curled up against him and maybe he hadn't worn Kippei out but he had sure tried, and Kippei did not at all feel like moving. Or disturbing Shinji, who was burrowed against him and warm and that was good, so Kippei settled his arms more comfortably around him and smiled to himself in the darkness--a rather sleepy smile, but he wasn't ready to go back to sleep either. This was nice.
Shinji was blue. And Kippei was in a very good position to know that he was blue everywhere. He grinned a bit, closing his eyes and burying his face in Shinji's hair. That was so cool.
There was a buzzing. There had been a buzzing for days now; his powers making a slow recovery, at about the same pace Shinji was turning back to a normal colour, which wasnt fast enough for Shinji. He wanted his powers back and to be a normal colour and for the buzzing to stop. But, for now it was sort of nice that Kippei didn't seem to care at all, and it was nice and warm and the sun wasnt up yet and people were asleep so the buzzing was soft. Or it had been. Shinji frowned and cuddled tighter against Kippei.
"Shhh, sleeping," he muttered sleepily.
Kippei grinned wider, a slow, lazy grin that wasn't really sleepy at all anymore. He was slightly sorry that he'd woken Shinji, and murmured a soft apology to that effect. But only slightly. And since Shinji was already awake, he let himself run a slow, soothing hand down Shinji's back, feeling the muscles shift beneath the smooth skin as Shinji buried himself deeper. Mmm, god, yeah.
Some days, he wished that had the words to express how perfect Shinji was for him, and how incredibly glad he was to have him here, like this. To have this. Everything that Shinji was to him, which was... well, everything. He couldn't imagine how he'd lived so long without it.
"Shhhh," Shinji grumbled more determinately. "Stop thinking stuff, you're like a bee." Annoying little bee. Not so little bee. Whatever. Shinji wriggled around a little uncomfortably, trying to crawl closer to Kippei, almost pushing under him before he was satisfied he couldn't get any closer.
"You're all warm and yummy, I like it." Shinji licked at the hot skin of Kippei's chest with an appreciative hum.
Chuckling, Kippei lifted his hand to wrap around the back of Shinji's neck, massaging gently through his hair. Warm and yummy was just about right, he thought. He felt like he'd been melted and poured out and still entirely, thoroughly sated.
"Happy Valentines Day," he said, quiet rumbling words that he hadn't said yesterday, so he might as well say it today, since it was the aftermath of yesterday--right? Something like that. He was feeling too good to think about it very hard.
Shinji frowned and pinched Kippei's side, but he was still half asleep so it wasn't hard at all, more a press off fingers together than a pinch, which just annoyed him a little more. Grumbling, Shinji leant in to the hand at his neck while he leant down and pulled the blanket closer.
"That was yesterday. Quiet today. Quiet's good. Quiet's like sleeping, but I can be sort of awake and know that its warm and yummy and Im with you, but its still like sleeping and stuff, so its good."
"Mmm," Kippei answered, holding in his laughter. God, Shinji was just cute sometimes. "Quiet," he murmured in agreement, nuzzling Shinji's hair and kissing languidly at his shoulder, since that was about all of him that could be reached at the moment. His free hand came to rest in the small of Shinji's back, stroking there in small, lazy back and forth movements with his thumb.
"I told you you were sexy when you're blue," he whispered, and no doubt the smirk showed in his voice, but he didn't care.
"Mmm...you're just a weirdo who likes smurfy popsicles," Shinji mumbled, but he smiled, sensing the smirk in Kippei's voice and running his fingertips teasingly across Kippei's stomach. "You're sexy all the time." Which was hellishly true, as he had found out yesterday when Kippei had finally tracked him down and dragged him back here and...well, Shinji had been sure he was stubborn enough to say no, too embarassed about being blue. But Kippei won when it came to stubborn, which was a damn good thing. "I love you."
"Hey," Kippei protested, Shinji was deliberately misinterpreting his words. "You're sexy all the time too, it's just really cool that you're blue." He didn't bother reiterating that smurfs and popsicles had nothing whatsoever to do with it. Personally, he didn't see the connection at all.
Shinji was still Shinji, still slim and hard and lovely and perfectly shaped in all the right places, but blue, like... like a water sprite or something, that was what he made Kippei think of. Something otherworldly and exotic and waterborn, all of which Shinji often reminded him of anyway, but this somehow made it more obvious and it was insanely sexy cool.
He made a soft sound of reluctant appreciation at the teasing touch of Shinji's fingers, torn between further grumbling about Shinji's lack of understanding for how hot the blueness was, and relaxing back into the warm contentment that surrounded them.
The contentment won, because really. Melted here. The answering words were soft, as if the preceeding objection had used up all his energy. "I love you too."

He made a soft humming noise of appreciation, and then decided that his fingers were getting too much of Shinji's attention and that wasn't fair. He shifted, raising up on one elbow so he could lean down and cover Shinji's mouth with his own, a lazy good morning kiss, and that was much better.

Date: 2006-02-16 08:11 am (UTC)"Right now?" he asked. He so wasn't thinking right now, about anything except maybe kissing Shinji again, but maybe Shinji wasn't talking about that. Maybe he meant before that. "When?" Did he want to know more about Blackguard, or what Kippei had been thinking about why he didn't want Shinji to come? Because Kippei wasn't sure he could explain about that.

Date: 2006-02-16 08:23 am (UTC)"I don't like it when you can't hear me," he muttered, feeling awkward but it was just Shinji and he would have been 'telling' him these things anyway, if he could hear it now. "I like having you in my head. It's easier. I'm not good at... talking stuff." He moved a bit restlessly, laying back down and staring at the ceiling again, his hands finding comfort in the familiar smoothness of Shinji's skin.
"Don't like it," he murmured again.

Date: 2006-02-16 08:41 am (UTC)"I don't like that either," he murmured into Shinji's hair, words spilling out of him without conscious decision, still speaking his thoughts aloud as Shinji had asked. "Hate it. When you don't know that. I always want you to know that. It's always true, it'll never not be true, I'd be dead if it wasn't true and I don't like feeling like I'm dead when I'm still right here."

Date: 2006-02-16 08:51 am (UTC)He thought about it some more. "But even if you didn't, you'd still be my Shinji. I'd still love you, even if you didn't know it." For some reason, that hurt to say, but he was thinking it and it was true, so he said it anyway.
