[ The journey to the station, meeting up with the guy, relocating to their final destination and making the appropriate transaction in a seemingly empty room has all gone successfully enough. There's the unspoken concern for Nazuna's companion but that is a matter to be addressed once they've secured their privacy. He does glimpse up at the other boy as they proceed down the hall though he's soon distracted with searching for the room number that matches with his key card.

Ah.

Nazuna comes to an unannounced halt and blindly reaches behind him to grab at Asahi to prevent him from wandering further. While no apology is offered, he's quick to withdraw his hand to wordlessly focus on working the door open. There's a short click almost immediately and he pushes his weight against the door before the back handle unintentionally knocks against the wall and reveals the room in its full glory. After the light switch is flipped up, that is.

As his shoulders slump forward, Nazuna forces himself to stand properly once more. He peers over to Asahi nd jerks his head in the room's direction, expecting him to go inside first.

What's waiting for them isn't horribly lavish and just barely misses the mark of passing for a standard hotel room. There's a good sized bed at the far end, a television monitor hovering above a dresser, a miniature fridge and a door that presumably leads to a bathroom. But the lack of windows and one wall being partially lined with mirrors serves as a reminder of the room's purpose.

It's all stuff that is going to be investigated further in a second.

A sigh of relief leaves Nazuna when he finally steps inside. The hood of his jacket is pushed off his head when the door is closed. Okay, he can relax for two seconds. Now he squats down to get his shoes off. ]

This is all ours for the next three hours... ♪

Yeah. [He murmurs a little shyly.] Uh, though.. I don't know if 'impressed' is the word I would use? Um, not that it matters. I guess the feeling is similar...

[Asahi tilts his head, moving closer to Nito. He wants to kiss him again, and more, but hates pushing. Wants to know that Nito wants it too.]

[ It really doesn't matter what the appropriate word is when Nazuna's comment was awkward to begin with. Much like his entire being. And it is sinking in that he's on the other other guy's bed, now, a place that's kind of personal. This isn't something he's accustomed to at all.

And yet he isn't unaware of the distance being breached between them nor does he freeze up. His eyes find Asahi's brown ones before falling to his lips and he blindly reaches to rest a hand on the other boy's thigh for support. He's not looking to climb into his lap with the uncertainty of where this is all going to go. But he doesn't leave Asahi hanging, veering up for their next kiss. ]

[With the non-verbal confirmation that this is okay, Asahi gives into his desire and meets Nito in a gentle, sweet kiss. His hands find Nito's cheek and his waist, and his touch is kind but a little insistent, firm, proof that Asahi is really into this, how much he wants it.]

[ It almost strikes him as though Asahi's trying to pull him closer, which he doesn't have a complaint against. But. But? There shouldn't be a but... But Nazuna leans back with his face pink, ]

Sorry, Asachin. It's not your fault or anything... I'm just nervous.

[ He huffs out, frowning, remembering the other boy's plea to not lead him on. That memory is somewhat unpleasant. Both hands are brought over his own face. ]

I know I'm the one who asked but being up here feels kinda invasive, somehow? I never been in someone else's bed before.

[Asahi's a little dumbfounded, but mostly just concerned. He looks at Nito, a bit bewildered, but his expression immediately softens in sympathy.]

That's okay! We can do something else. Move back to the floor, or even go downstairs? Watch a movie, or something. It's fine!

[ His fingers part to allow him to peek at Asahi before he stiffly removes his hands from his face. The other boy's reacting better than he expected, allowing something in him to loosen in ease. ]

Um... A movie sounds good?

[ Nazuna says with a short nod. ]

I'd like to see what Asachin's into.

[He feels relieved, if not a little disappointed. But it's okay. Asahi can understand getting overwhelmed, and he did ask Nito to come all the way out to an unfamiliar place for his sake. He imagines that, if the situations were reversed, he'd feel similarly insecure lying in another boy's bed and kissing him.]

Ah, what I'm into... I don't know. I'll watch anything as long as it's not too scary. I tend to get too sucked in when I'm watching something...

What kinds of films do you like? Or do you watch variety shows, or something else?

I like watching you.

[ A joke to help ease any leftover awkwardness that might be lingering. ]

I don't have much of a preference. Maybe a good romance comedy~?

[ He's going to clamber out of Asahi's comfortable bed now. ]

[The joke catches him off guard, and makes Asahi blush as it sinks in. He very nearly suggests they watch volleyball, but Nito saves him by recommending a romantic comedy instead.

Who would want to watch volleyball, if they weren't a rival player?

He waits until Nito is off his bed before following, getting on his feet then leading the way back to the large television in the family room. Grabbing the remote, Asahi starts surfing towards the channels he knows bring light-hearted movies.]

Stop me if you see something, okay?

[ And so they're sitting together again and he is probably a little too overly conscious of it. Not that this is a big deal or anything. It's completely normal to sit and watch television. ]

Huh, everything looks the same...

[ It's an observation he makes after four channels. ]

Maybe I'd be better off watching you.

[How can Nito just say things like that?? It makes Asahi's cheeks a bright scarlet, and he looks over at the other boy with a mix of nerves and excitement.]

W-What do you want to watch me do....?

Huh?

[ He glances back at Asahi, brow raised. Why's this guy blushing... ]

Do you have a hidden talent or something?

Hidden talent...

[He pauses and considers this quite seriously for it being such a baffling question, and probably a joke.]

Um, I can curl my tongue into a clover shape...?

Really... ?

[ He shifts his body slightly more in Asahi's direction, drawing a leg up to his chest. ]

Okay, you have to do it now.

[Still blushing, Asahi nods and shyly opens his mouth. He twists his tongue so that the tip is folded on itself in a way that looks like 3 distinct flower petals, or a three-leaf clover. After showing it off for a moment, he shuts his mouth and sheepishly scrubs the nape of his neck.]

So, uh, there's that..?

[ He furrows his brow before snorting. Asahi definitely wasn't fibbing. ]

Oho~? So you really do have a hidden talent! But maybe I shouldn't have expected less from someone who has fortune cookies compliment him on his abilities.

[Being called out on that conversation makes Asahi stammer.]

I had forgotten about that... ah. Do you think that's why it said that?

Not at all. It said that the job was performed on the knees, right? So that doesn't match up.

[He laughs awkwardly, and nods the reminder.]

Right... maybe it just meant scrubbing floors. Or receiving! Uh, in volleyball, I mean. Though I'm not nearly as good at that as some of my teammates..

[ The light teasing is interrupted by Nazuna's curiosity. ]

So you end up on your knees a lot when you're playing? Does it hurt?

Huh? [He said dumbly, not expecting the sudden shift in tone.] I guess I don't, not that often. If I have to dive for a ball I will, but usually I land on my chest when I do that? Um, but last year I did take a pretty bad fall onto one knee when I tried to save a ball, so I started wearing a kneepad just in case it happens again..

[ The sad backstory doesn't quite keep his attention when there's so much other stuff in that explanation. ]

Your chest?

[ He gasps out, leaning more into the other boy. ]

You really can take a beating like that~? Jeeze, I really don't know much about volleyball at all?

Ah, yeah? It's something we practice a lot, too. Actually, our team uses dives as penalties whenever we lose a practice match. [He explains, gesturing a little with his hands.] It's probably safer to fall on your chest than on just one arm or leg? Um, you're less likely to hurt something, I mean. So as long as you know the right way to do it, it should be fine? You might just get bruises.

That all makes sense when you put it that way...

[ His shoulders relax a little and he straightens up. ]

I'll admit, I do a lot of stuff on stage but I think falling on my chest would be kind of scary~? I haven't fallen enough or in the wrong way for me to actually get hurt.

It's good you've never gotten hurt! [He says quickly, frowning just at the thought.] I don't know if falling that way would be helpful on stage? Usually when we dive it's because the ball is going to hit the ground...

But, um, if you're going to perform and dance on stage maybe it's good to learn a safe way to fall, just in case?
