[ 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... ♪

[He catches it, but only because his reflexes are so sharp. Good thing it's the height of the season. Sports are something he can handle, though, so Asahi flips until he finds a baseball game - of course.]

What kind of sports do you like, Nito-san? I guess it's not volleyball?

[ Ah, yes, one of Japan's biggest pastimes. ]

I don't know much about volleyball but I guess there's something about team sports that have their own appeal? Team sports are exciting...

I think so. [Asahi nods, smiling a bit.] Do you play any? Any sports at all? But I guess being an idol you might not have time...

I told you I was the captain of the tennis club at school, remember?

[Asahi is momentarily dumbfounded, and his cheeks turn pink with embarrassment.]

R-Right! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to forget! It's just hard to wrap my head around how you have time for everything... T-Tell me about tennis! Do you play singles or doubles?

[ It's almost a wonder if Asahi's distracted by his appearance but Nazuna can't bring himself to doubt the guy like that. ]

We play singles. I don't think you'd really want to hear about tennis. It's kind of boring if you're not someone who's involved.

I think the same is probably true for volleyball, though? [He says with a small frown.] I mean, um, one of my brothers makes it clear he really doesn't care. But I do. And I wanna hear about tennis!

Wait, hold on— ! You have brothers, Asachin?

Oh, ah, yeah... neither of them live at home anymore, though, so I don't see them very often. The oldest is Jun, he's married and they have kids. And Takeshi is a park ranger, so he just does... that.

[He shrugs a bit sheepishly.]

Do you have siblings?

Huh... You do strike me as the little brother type!

[ But that might be because— ]

I don't have any, nope~! But my kouhai are pretty much like brothers, I'd say.

Do I? I guess people do tend to say that once they find out I'm the youngest...

[Which is kind of annoying? But only because his older brothers have such overbearing personalities. He considers what Nito tells him next, though, and Asahi is happy for the subject change. He smiles at the thought of the unit being Nito's younger brothers.]

That is what it feels like to be on a team, too. I guess you must spend a lot of time together?

Mm~? Yes! We spend a lot of time together. We have to train together and I need to make sure they're doing everything right... And I make sure to make bento for them so we all have something to eat during our breaks... We all do chores at school together~? I like to treat them to something after school, too, so sometimes we might go to the arcade or the nearby Lawson!

[ He pauses for a quick intake of breath. ]

I love them so much so it's good to be able to have time with them!

[It's honestly so sweet how cute Nito gets when he's talking about his underclassmen. Asahi smiles just hearing it, and of course at how endearing it is that Nito almost makes himself breathless with how quickly he's speaking, how much he has to say.]

So to them I guess you're kind of like the cross between an ideal team captain and ideal older brother. I was right, they are lucky to have you.

I'd say that I'm the one who is lucky.

[ He's the one who's been saved but he doesn't elaborate on that matter. ]

But, hey, I'd want to spend time with you, too, once in a while~? I can't really be your Niichan at this point because that'd be a little weird but you can rely on me, you know.

[He blushes a bit but also laughs at the idea of Nito being his 'nii-chan.']

No, I really don't need any more older brothers. [Asahi agrees quite firmly. And then his expression softens.] I'd much prefer to have... um, a date?

I think I can do the bare minimum for you.

[ He nods before winking. ]

It's a good thing we're on a date now, huh?

[Asahi smiles at that, feeling flustered but also happy.]

Yeah. Um! Speaking of which, uh, do you need anything? A drink, or something to eat? Or we could go for a walk or something, if this is kind of boring? Since we didn't find any good movies?

I think we had a similar discussion when we first got here~? I'm fine, Asachin. We decided to watch sports, right? We just became preoccupied with talking, that's all. Don't worry, okay~?

[ There's a thoughtful pause. ]

Unless you're the one who's bored? I'm having fun watching you but maybe I should step up my own game to make it more interesting for you?

O-oh, right...

[He's just flustered. Talking to Nito is so nice? So much that he doesn't care what they're doing. But Asahi also knows he has to be a good host.]

You're not boring at all, Nito-san. You're so interesting!

Hm... But I'd be a little more interesting with a change in scenery, I'm thinking?

[ He stretches his arms over his head before proceeding to ungainly try to clamber into the other boy's lap. ]

[Asahi licks his lips, and nods absently.]

This is a lot more interesting. [He agrees, voice a little rougher. His hands come up to hold Nito's waist.] But everything about you... really fascinates me.

[ Oh, he's lost Asahi that quickly. But the response has Nazuna crack into a smile. ]

Huh, really... [ A hand nonchalantly ghosts over the front of the other's chest as he ponders, ] Asachin's way more interesting, to me~? He's such a big guy with so much to offer.

[ He finds purchase on Asahi's upper arm, fingers gently feeling over muscle in time with his own words. ]

There's a lot going on with you. You really are a good boy.

[Asahi is only human. With a cute boy in his lap, touching him, teasing him, he's bound to become ensnared sooner or later. He just happens to be vulnerable enough that it's much, much sooner.]

I, um, I... I try to be? [He says.] I think you're good, too. M-more than you want other people to see.

I'll be good to you so I can set an example.

[ Nazuna leans back somewhat, unconcerned with losing balance, palm smoothing down Asahi's arm. ]

Though there are times where I get a little ahead of myself~? Being around you almost tempts that, somehow?

Ah... I don't think you've ever gone too far, though.

[They literally went to a love hotel only the second or third time they met up in person, so perhaps Asahi should feel a bit rushed, but it's hard to when he enjoyed the experience so much.]

Actually.. I think being with you makes me more brave.
