That "some people" you're talking about doesn't include me, does it?
[Said with a narrowed eye.]
I love to talk, but I also know what's appropriate! For example, even when I'm teasing Jun-kun, I always know not to go too far. Otherwise it's just bullying!
[Don't listen to him. He's definitely bullied Jun before.]
[But he isn't careful not to sit on the remote, which causes the TV to turn on with a blare of sound. He jolts, his eyes turning in that direction. Was it a ghost? An intruder?!
Nope. Just the TV, opening back up to those videos they were watching earlier. He stares at his own face, looking shocked!]
[ Ah. Elan leans in a little, eyes lidding a little in anticipation of the brush of fingers against his cheek, his smile spreading a little wider-
And then the blare of sound and TV starts him just about as much as it does Hiyori! He blinks, staring, and then bursts out laughing at the look on Hiyori's face. His gaze flicks from the real Hiyori in front of him to the broadcast, trying to contain his laughter. ]
Definitely something to watch out for in the future. Or maybe you can use it as a funny icebreaker.
[ He sighs, his laughter fading, and then he sets his mug aside and leans over, resting his chin on Hiyori's shoulder - a bit like a cat demanding attention - and lets out a low hum. ]
But I think I prefer the real you to the recording.
[He picks his butt off the couch and reaches for the remote to pause the TV recording. Now the TV is still set to his lovely face, but they're free to have their romantic (?) cuddly moment!]
Do you?
[Rather than stealing a kiss like he'd intended, he settles for sliding a hand on top of Elan's head and patting his hair. He's acting awfully petlike, after all.]
Makes sense! That show was filmed a little while ago, and I've grown even more charming since then...♪ Plus you can touch and hold the real me.
That is not what you should have said. If you want me to be quiet so badly, you should use other methods besides pointing a remote! More creative methods, and more loving ones!
[Can Elan guess what he means? He's not exactly being subtle.]
[ Elan can't suppress his laughter at Hiyori's reaction or his smile. But he knows what's being talked about. ]
Right, right. Like this?
[ He leans in and steals a kiss - lets this one linger because it's fun and because he does actually like making out with Hiyori. His arms slip around his middle and squeeze warmly. ]
[Alright, so maybe Elan did catch on okay. It's nice to see him take initiative, to feel his warmth and the soft press of his lips. Hiyori leans in, letting their foreheads brush together, his eyelids drifting shut. He hums into it lightly, a hand reaching for Elan's waist to mirror Elan's own touch. Letting it linger before he murmurs, soft and warm against Elan's lips:]
[ Look, he's not dumb. And right now he's kind of pleased with himself. He laughs softly as they lean into one another and he snuggles up nice and close with a shake of his head. ]
Sometimes I wonder...
[ But he kisses him again. And then again, for good measure. This is nice, honestly. ]
Whatever it is, he'll wait to hear it. There's no rush, and it's already taken them the better part of a year to reach this point. It's been a long, strange journey, but he couldn't be happier: seeing Elan leave his job, gain independence, and pursue his own happiness. He seems to live a quiet life, not bothering or infringing on anyone, but that's fine, isn't it? Once you've grasped freedom with your own hands, you can go anywhere and do anything. The sky's the limit.
That goes for right now, too, of course. Elan can do as he pleases and show as much greed as he wants. If he wants more kisses, he can have them, Hiyori pressing warmly into each one and touching their noses together affectionately. No doubt about it: this is a nice day off.]
[ Elan is a little greedy, honestly. Even now, after everything they've done. He likes having attention just for himself. He likes the fact that he can command Hiyori's attention - it's a special sort of feeling, where someone so many people clamor for is just looking at him. And it's because of who he is, not the face he wears.
Elan hums softly and snuggles a little closer, stealing another kiss and then another. Lazy and soft and languid. ]
Definitely better when you're like this. [ He's teasing. ]
It's because Elan-kun is Elan-kun. That's why he's here on his couch. If all Hiyori wanted was a nice face, well, there are plenty of those around. The other boy does make for a pleasant sight as he nuzzles up to him, though, with glittering green eyes and a catlike smile on his lips. It's enough to make Hiyori comment, half teasing and half serious:]
And here I was, thinking nice thoughts about you! Like how I've already found my "nice view."
[ He can't help the heat that rises in his cheeks a little and he turns his head aside with a little sigh before turning right back and stealing one more kiss. ]
You're unfair.
[ He's not used to feeling so warm fuzzy about someone.
Although maybe he should be by now, all things considered. ]
[That blush is satisfying. The sly, cheeky Elan is cute, but the flustered Elan is also cute. Hiyori likes both sides of him, so it's a win-win!]
Unfairly cute, you mean? ♪
[He issues the expected retort and cuddles close.
... it really is nice. Having such an impact on someone else's life. Being that person's "firsts." They can't stay like this forever, but hopefully Elan won't forget his warmth.
Hiyori loosely wraps his arms around him, still touching their noses together. Honestly, he and Nagisa can be pretty touchy-feely (he and Jun too, sometimes), but has he cuddled anyone in his life as much as he's cuddled Elan? Probably just Mary.]
Since we have nothing else planned, feel free to bask in my cuteness for as long as you want...♪
[ Elan allows with a sigh. Cuddling with someone... it's not something he would have thought about doing a year or two ago. Especially not with someone like Hiyori. But here he is now. It's a surreal sort of experience, honestly, but he savors it all the same. It's nice to be here. Nice to be curled against him.
A part of him wonders if he should get playful again. ]
Just bask in your cuteness? Fill the rest of my day with "worshiping Hiyori"? Would you like that?
[An immediate response, accompanied by a wink. No shame!]
Though if you started calling yourself my follower, that'd be a bit off-putting. Even seeing you as a fan would feel somewhat odd. To you, I'm just "Hiyori," right?
[Not even "Hiyori Tomoe." His status and his family name don't matter here, and while both are inextricable from who he is, there's still undeniably something refreshing about that.]
As strange as it probably sounds, I don't care that much about your fame or your being an idol. I mean, it makes you happy... but it doesn't change how I feel about you.
I think then I'd see a different side of you up close and personal. But I don't think that'd change how I view you. Well... it would, but not in that kind of way.

[ He says far too innocently. ]
And I believe you. Although not everyone shares the same definition of bullying, you know. Something to watch out for.
[ Or not. He's been cruel himself at times, although never to Hiyori. ]
no subject
True, true! But if simply teasing someone was taboo, then I wouldn't have been able to give you those chopsticks!
[The ones with the chopstick holder that referenced Elan's "ducktail."]
There's that, and we'd also have slightly less fun during our intimate times. Being teased by me feels good, doesn't it?
[What a question.]
no subject
[ His smile grows a liiiiittle wider.
Yeah, OK, he's responding in kind. ]
Some of it feels nice enough...

Though I wonder how your view might change if you went to one of our concerts.

You're right, I do know! It's exciting to see a new side of someone you like, isn't it~? ♪
[That's not quite what Elan said, but oh well.]
Though if you want a taste right now, we can always switch from the travel program to watching one of my concert videos.
[Of course he's enough of a narcissist to suggest this.]
