You've reached Tighnari. I'm not able to answer right now, so just leave a message and I'll get back to you when I can.

[cashewlater]

[ he sure did just do that!! and he looks quite pleased with himself, at least in his muted, cyno sort of way. ]

Maybe.

[ another playful squeeze, and cyno finally screws up the gumption he needs to pull himself away from tighnari. normally he might be happy to linger, to spend all day kissing him, touching him, being close to him, but today is a special day, and they have plans. later, they can get back to this nonsense. over his shoulder, as he moves toward the bedroom: ]

In private, at least.

[ he's good enough not to smack tighnari's ass in public. he also doesn't have a death wish. ]

[forestwatcher]

[Tighnari makes a face at him. Oh, he trusts that there is no way that the other man would dare try something like that in public, but even doing it in private is a surprise he didn't expect!

He squints a little as he watches Cyno walk away, then seems to come to a sudden decision about something and abruptly scurries after him--

To clasp both hands against his backside and give it a firm squeeze.]

In private, I'll allow it.

[cashewlater]

[ were cyno the laughing type, he might laugh out loud at tighnari's boldness, his retaliation, but as it stands he only grins, chuckling low under his breath. ]

Oh you will, will you?

[ cyno glances over his shoulder, his ruby eyes dancing with adoration and entertainment both, before they're heading off toward the bedroom together. ]

You're so generous.

[forestwatcher]

I am generous, and you should ensure that you remember that.

[Generous enough to press a kiss to the top of Cyno's jaw while they walk along. He's going to try to resist pouncing his lover onto the bed, because they have places to be!]

Are you trying to distract me?

[cashewlater]

[ don't worry tighnari, it's difficult for cyno to resist the urge to pounce, as well.. he has to use all of his self-control to pivot toward the wardrobe, once they reach the bedroom. he begins fishing around for something to wear - thick socks, comfortable black pants and a heavy knit sweater that tighnari had chosen for him. setting them aside, he strips off his shirt.

and if he's flexing his well-maintained biceps a little as he does so.. well, can you blame him? ]

Me? Distract you?

[ he drops his sleeping shirt into the hamper. ]

Maybe a little.

[forestwatcher]

[He does look so nice in that outfit and Tighnari is very appreciative while he watches him changing. Just excuse him as he leans against the side of the wardrobe and observes.]

Interesting. I never had you down as an exhibitionist.

[Very interesting indeed. Tighnari's tail flicks back and forth as he smiles.]

Not that I'm objecting to the show.

[cashewlater]

Heh..

[ cyno smiles, that grin on tighnari's face making his heart squeeze up. ]

Only for you, habibi.

[ cyno doesn't care for anyone else looking his way, but tighnari? he wants to keep tighnari's attention on him all day, every day, every second. there's no greater flattery than his attentions. now he's hooking his thumbs into his sleeping shorts and underclothes both, and tugging them down. shameless. ]

[forestwatcher]

[Tighnari hums softly at the pet name as a faint flush of colour briefly warms his cheeks. Suffice it to say that Cyno definitely has his attention and he is not being shy about making it known, watching the movement of the other man's hands as he tugs his shorts off.

He exhales a slow, steady breath.

This man... he really is utterly breathtaking.]

Now you're just being unfair.

[cashewlater]

Unfair? I'm just getting changed.

[ cyno knows exactly what he's doing, and his sharp grin as he steps out of his clothing says as much. smoothing a hand down his hard abdomen, cyno chuckles. he keeps fit because he needs to, because it's required of him, but he could absolutely get used to showing off for tighnari, to having those beautiful eyes on him. ]

I've gotten changed around you for years. Nothing special.

[ but he's also not rushing to get dressed either, instead meandering slowly toward the bed to pluck up his fresh underclothes. look at that cute ass, tighnari!! ]

[forestwatcher]

That was different.

[And it didn't leave him feeling so... bothered. Before now he could just take the situation for what it was, but now there is a whole new layer to the entire thing and he is absolutely sure that Cyno knows exactly what he's doing.

He cocks his head slightly to watch the other man's ass as he walks across the room.]

I'll admit you're giving me a lot to think about while we're out.

[cashewlater]

Was it? You mean you weren't ogling me, back then?

[ cyno grins over his shoulder, then finally leans to tug his underclothes on, the muscles of his back tensing and flexing beneath sharp scars. he's fully aware of the weight of tighnari's searching eyes on him, and he finds that he enjoys it very much. ]

But that's good. Keep it all fresh in your mind, habibi. Today you get anything you want.

[forestwatcher]

I do not ogle...

[The impertinence. He does not ogle! That sounds so lecherous. He is, however, going to look.

Respectfully.]

Anything I want? [Hmm. He can think of a few things, but right now they really do need to get out of the house before they... do not get out of the house.] Come along, Cyno. We're going to lose the light if you keep on like this.

[cashewlater]

Oh, you absolutely ogle. You ogled me right into the ground. I've never been so ogled as I have been by you.

[ it's so easy to hear the grin in his voice. ]

But all right, all right..

[ he picks up the pace, stepping into his pants, and pulling on an undershirt. then, over that, that handsome sweater that tighnari chose for him. ]

[forestwatcher]

[Terrible, terrible man, teasing him like this. Tighnari abruptly realises that he has been so busy watching Cyno getting dressed that he's still standing there in his robe and abruptly begins to pull on his own clothes after letting out a soft 'tch' at himself.

Terrible man.]

It isn't too cold today, but you should still be careful about catching a chill.

[Trying not to be embarrassed about the staring. By the Seven.]

Make sure you pick up some gloves, all right?

[cashewlater]

[ tighnari quickly begins to change, and cyno absolutely cannot help the way his mouth curves in a broad, knowing smile. ]

Mm. Gloves. I will.

[ he promises, before he's sitting on the bed to pull on thick socks. he hates them - socks. foot prison. he'd much prefer his usual bared feet, but he'd also prefer not to lose his toes to frostbite. some battles are not worth fighting.

after the socks are on, however, it's his turn to ogle. ]

[forestwatcher]

[He feels Cyno's eyes on him the moment the other man is done getting dressed, and his hands pause in the middle of pulling on his shirt. His tails swish slowly from side to side, then he clears his throat softly and resumes fastening the buttons.

Tighnari is not an exhibitionist, but that doesn't mean he can't pretend that he doesn't see the way Cyno is observing him and give the man a little bit of a show.

So he takes his time, button by button, and at one point cannot help but give the desert-dweller a sidelong glance out of the corner of his eye.]

Are you enjoying yourself?

[cashewlater]

[ being an exhibitionist is one thing, thoroughly enjoying teasing your significant other is quite another. cyno couldn't imagine wanting to be eyed up by anyone but tighnari, but having those forest-colored eyes on him? excellent. perfect.

and he's more than happy to return the favor. cyno moves to sit at the edge of the bed, leaning back on both hands and watching tighnari with a lazy smile, making no attempt to hide the way his eyes rove. ]

I am, yes.

[ and he's perfectly happy to admit it!! ]

If you didn't want me to look, perhaps you should have thought twice about being so beautiful.

[forestwatcher]

Ktch--

[Cyno! How the man can expect him to get dressed without fumbling when he's saying things like that, and when all he wants to do, more and more, is simply tackle the man to the bed and pull that lovely sweater right off him again. He narrows his eyes in the other man's direction as if he's trying very hard to not show how affected he is when Cyno says things like that to him.]

So you're saying it's my fault, then.

[Half dressed, he plants one hand on his hip and turns his attention fully in Cyno's direction. His voice is chiding, but it's clear he doesn't mean a word of it.]

I would have expected the General Mahamatra to have better self-control.

[cashewlater]

[ it might sound smooth, but truly cyno is simply being perfectly, completely honest. tighnari is the most beautiful person he knows, the most beautiful person in the world, and cyno isn't afraid to say it out loud.

he crosses both arms, smiling. ]

My self-control is impeccable. I'm simply stating the truth as I see it.

[ stepping forward, he snags tighnari by the wrists, tugging him in closer to kiss him, slow and soft. ]

[forestwatcher]

Oh, as you see--

[And that's a kiss, right there, cutting off his next words as he melts into it and slides his arm over Cyno's shoulder. He digs a hand into his hair and arches his body forwards slightly to press against him, exhaling a soft sigh when their lips part.]

Hmph...

[Well, it isn't as if the General Mahamatra has a reputation for being a liar. He nips at the other man's lower lip reproachfully.]

That's cheating.

[cashewlater]

[ cyno can't help but smile, a low chuckle rumbling in the back of his throat as he butts their brows together, rubbing his nose alongside tighnari's like a needy cat, arms slipping around his middle. swaying in place, he slides his thumbs along the dip of tighnari's spine. ]

I'm so terribly fond of you, do you know that?

[ fond enough to make his heart ache and twist in his chest. being with tighnari.. it just feels so very right. ]

[forestwatcher]

Mm... you've never made it very difficult to guess.

[The fondness has been there from a very early stage in their relationship and Cyno, with his eccentric personality, has never made it hard to see when he's comfortable around somebody or views them as a friend.]

But I'm glad you can be like this with me.

[cashewlater]

[ well, he supposes that that isn't wrong. cyno is very, very different with people he cares about, versus strangers or acquaintances or colleagues. his fondness for tighnari had always been obvious, and right now, it's right on his sleeve, his bleeding, aching, loving heart held up in his hands and offered to this smart, beautiful fox.

he's so in love it's disgusting. ]

Mm.. me too.

[ another kiss, this one slow and soft, leisurely, cyno taking his time to savor it. ]

Habibi.. ready to go?

[forestwatcher]

I'm not dressed properly yet.

[Cyno had interrupted him with this sweetness and doting and Tighnari had, of course, fallen straight into it and forgotten entirely about the fact that he hadn't even put any socks on yet.

But still, he's not rushing to pry himself free of the affection currently being lavished on him. Why would he want to?]

If you can bear to part from me for five minutes, then I'll be ready.

[cashewlater]

Mm.. that's a big ask, you know.

[ pulling away from tighnari right now feels like an incredibly difficult prospect. cyno hums, dipping his head to press more kisses along tighnari's jaw, then down the soft curve of his throat, before he finally sighs, and begins to step backward. ]

But if you insist.
