[He squirts out some more gel, setting the bottle down while he sops up his legs next. ... And between his legs.]
Your first, but hopefully not your last! Each one offers a different view, which you should appreciate. Some overlook cities, some overlook mountains, some are charmingly rustic, while others are big and luxurious. But they're all relaxing, and they all make excellent date locations. Which means we should go to another one sometime ♪
[Elan-kun doesn't seem bothered, which is a relief. Not that he seemed like a hopeless romantic, but Hiyori wouldn't want things to be unbalanced as a result of mismatched expectations.
... It does need to be kept secret. Idols aren't supposed to date, and sleeping around without dating just looks bad.
Though is this sleeping around? Whatever the press might think, he doesn't feel like it counts as such. This isn't a relationship, but it's not some meaningless fling either. He's gotten attached in his own way. Gotten invested, perhaps, in Elan's journey to become his own person. Almost like he got invested in Nagisa and Jun's respective journeys to discover their identities. Elan's not his precious childhood friend or his partner, of course, but he's also not just some tool to kill time with. He's more like—
Ah.
His eyes flare a bit, before he smiles warmly. They arrived at the same conclusion, it seems.]
Sounds good to me! I've never quite had one of those before. But what's life without a few secrets, hmm? ♪ Er, though I guess you've had more than just a few over the years... but hopefully this one can be a fun secret! ♪
[He lathers himself up a but more. Then, after a pause:]
Of course, if you do find someone you want more with, we can always break things off. Or leave out some of those "benefits," anyway. But being my regular friend still comes with plenty of benefits ♪
Yes, that's exactly right. The whole entire world's your oyster... ♪
[He continues to smile warmly. He doesn't feel any pang of jealousy at the thought of Elan finding someone else. And that's sort of a relief, really, since he already has enough jealousy in his life to contend with. He does hope that when Elan finds someone eventually, it'll be someone who's good for him.
But he also sort of hopes they'll get more time together first. More opportunities for him to show Elan new things. That's something he enjoys, he's found: taking someone with little experience in life, and opening them up to new pleasures and excitements. Plus, Elan's cute, and Hiyori sort of hopes to see his begging face sometime!
He'll wisely keep that thought to himself, though, simply nodding when Elan says that last thing.]
Guess so! Neither one of us gets tied down, but we both benefit. That sounds like an ideal outcome to me. An "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" kind of deal. Speaking of which, why not let me wash your back?
Well, if you insist, I can hardly turn you down, can I?
[ It is mutually beneficial. And maybe a little more reassuring than some of his previous encounters in life. He can't say he's jealous, really. More that he's just... hmm. Not disappointed. It's something else.
He can't quite put his finger on it, but he decides to dismiss it. Instead he shifts his weight a little and turns 'round to let Hiyori get at his back. ]
How many other people can say they've been personally scrubbed down by an idol, after all?
[He takes the bottle with one, and rummages around for a clean cloth with the other. He hasn't been bothering to use one on himself, but he feels the need to do things properly here.]
I'm not too sure. But as for how many I've scrubbed down...
[He thinks about it for a moment.]
I guess no one? Which makes you the lucky first! ♪
[He places the cloth squarely between Elan's shoulder blades. Despite what he just said, his movements are quick and sure as he moves it up and down Elan's spine, fingertips dragging on wet skin. He likes this caretaking act. Or maybe it's more like pampering.]
[ He laughs softly and leans back into the touch with a low little sigh. He enjoys being pampered. And why shouldn't he after all of that? He muses softly to himself and then tilts his head a little to get a better look at Hiyori. ]
You keep this up, I really will start to miss you a lot more than I do.
[Of course Elan is special. He's here with him right now. Which makes him the luckiest boy in the world, clearly.
Hiyori works his way down Elan's back again, smiling fondly when their eyes meet. He hums in response to that little tease, proceeding to take it seriously rather than play it off.]
Fortunately, there are fixes for that! For example, buying one of my CDs, or watching some of my videos! I've heard that if you do that right before bed, you might just see me in your dreams at night ♪
[He rubs the washcloth over Elan's shoulders.]
Or, you could travel into the city sometime! That'd be a different "view" than the scenic views you've been seeking out, but if you go there, you might just see something wonderful. Like my face on a billboard or a magazine cover ♪
[He stops the cloth, bowing over Elan's back, bringing his lips closer to Elan's earlobe.]
Or, you could always message me. We could exchange sweet words, send each other pictures, and perhaps even make plans to meet up again. It wouldn't be anytime too soon, of course. But I'd like for this not to be our last encounter.
[ Ah, this boy really is too good at teasing. Elan laughs a little and leans back slightly, a low hum resonating in his chest as he listens to his words. It's amusing. It's enticing. it's... oddly comfortable. How strange it is to find someone he actually enjoys spending time with.
Of course the last person he found like that ended up getting squashed by the system around them, but... well. Hiyori is a little different, right? Not fighting the system so much as a part of it. So hopefully less chance of that. ]
Maybe I will. Although I feel like I'll have to draw out the time in between to make sure you really do miss me.
[ He's teasing in return. ]
I don't mind the city, you know. I just wanted to see something a little different. So going back to visit... that wouldn't be a problem. Besides - I don't think I'd want this to be the last I ever saw of you, either.
[Hiyori could be considered a cog in the idol industry machine. His days as a revolutionary are over. He'll fight for his loved ones, but he's not out to topple the system. And right now he's just out to flirt a little bit!]
Elan-kun's a bit of a tease, huh.
[This in response to the comment about "drawing things out." Considering how Elan drew out that blowjob, though, he shouldn't exactly be surprised.]
Then it's decided! We'll again meet in the city ♪
[He rubs at Elan's back some more before setting the washcloth down.]
Though probably not at one of those hotels. It was already a bit risky doing that one time.
[He sucks in his cheek but doesn't deny the charge. Then his eyes light up when Elan says that last thing.]
Oh? Now that sounds exciting! I'll bring a housewarming gift! Besides just myself, of course.
[There's no more scrubbing left to do, so he gives Elan some space. They'll still be knee-to-knee when Elan turns around, though, Hiyori's teasing smile reflecting in the bathroom mirror.]
You won't have decorated the bedroom to look like a spaceship, will you?
[He reaches past Elan for the detachable showerhead so he can begin rinsing himself off.]
I won't let it look completely boring. I'll bring a gift that adds a touch of elegance ♪ Perhaps some flowers, or a potted plant. Unless there's something in particular you'd like.
Most don't require anything besides watering. And light, but even then, there are some that thrive in low-light conditions. Sort of like you, I guess.
[Or some other people he's known. Nagisa was trapped in a dark room during his formative years, and yet he's thriving now.]
If you like, I could throw in a watering can! I figured you might like something from nature, since you seem rather outdoorsy. But if there's something else you want, feel free to drop hints.
[He winks.]
Or you can just ask for it. I love good boys who ask for what they want!
I wouldn't want you to worry too much about getting me something, since it sounds like you've been living on ramen. Though a giftswap does sound fun...
[He finishes rinsing off his front, then Elan's for good measure, taking care not to spray the water onto his head. He doesn't want to show up to his room with wet hair.]
I'm not that picky, to be honest. I like interesting souvenirs. I also like tea leaves, regional sweets, decorations, fragrances, and gifts that I could give to my adorable Bloody Mary! ♪ So I guess you might as well surprise me.
[He laughs lightly at that, like the nice person he is. He can't help it; Elan shaking his wet ducktail reminds him of a bird shaking its feathers dry! But he'll move the showerhead behind Elan's head next, to rinse the suds off his back.]
If you're strapped for ideas, you can always give me another private concert. That's the kind of gift that money can't buy ♪ I'd say you're good at giving me those, anyway.

Are we dating now, then? Is this your way of making it something more romantic than just friends with benefits?

You can take someone on a date without having anything too serious going on. Then it's just two people casually enjoying their time together ♪
[His voice is light and cheerful. But then he adds, a bit more seriously:]
... I'm an idol, so I can't offer much else than that, I'm afraid.

I know. And I'm not complaining. It's not like I'm looking for anything more right now, anyway.

So I guess friends with benefits... and secret friends with benefits... will have to do.
