[ continue... nibble... kaname flushes, biting at leona's lips briefly before letting him go. get up then. ]

Feel free to try. I'll bite back.

[ kaname'll be a little more sheepish with his nakedness, regardless of what they'd just done he's not used to being so bare around others, but it's fine. he'll get over it in time. ]

That's what I want.

[ as he rolls off, he holds a hand out to kaname. though he feels lethargic, he can't help but have a burst of... some kind of energy. something youthful? playful? maybe it's a second wind of arousal, too.

either way, the shower is turned on with a flick of the wrist. thanks, magic. ]

You did seem to like it in the moment...

[ ... he's taking the blanket. it's his robe now as he takes leona's hand and follows up, shivering a little at the lack of warmth enveloping him. he misses it already. he wants to be back under leona, surrounded and overwhelmed. it was cozy, comfy, and he'd definitely be lulled to sleep with those conditions.

the magic is cool as ever though, kaname's head ticking up in that direction. ]

Can you lift someone with magic too?

[ just asking... ]

When you're doin' it, yeah.

[ anyone else? he might not enjoy it as much. simple.

...

it's okay. he'll drape himself around kaname as soon as he's up, escorting him towards the bathroom. it's small but it'll be fine. if they're up against each other, the shower will definitely not feel as cramped. ]

Hm. I can try but I dunno. Not sure how comfortable it'll be. It's not like ridin' a broom.

[ oh, he wasn't expecting that, not the answer or the weight on him... give him a moment and he'll let himself be shuffled onward. it's small... he wasn't expecting anything big, but kaname's still not impressed. do you know how big his house bathroom is? bigger than an apartment's.

but it'll do. let him... shimmy off the blanket, the marks leona'd left more pronounced given time to swell and darken. kaname scoffs in disbelief, turning his head to make sure the other isn't pulling his leg. ]

You ride on brooms? Don't tell me you cook in cauldrons too, Leona.

[ leona's definitely used to extravagance, so... yeah. it's not great. he's had much better. maybe he'll think about moving one day to a place that is just more... livable? even his room back in the savanaclaw dorm was nicer--- even had his own private bathroom just because he was the leader.

...

also how does kaname know, is he a secret mage?! ]

Don't cook in 'em, but we make plenty of potions using 'em. Best thing to use because it keeps dangerous stuff inside and away from your body and face.

[ and alchemy is one of his strongest subjects, so. ]

... You're not joking.

[ unbelievable... magic, brooms, cauldrons with potions... forget a cool title like mage, leona's just a witch isn't he. like your bog standard halloween witch. but he's a very strong witch. all he's lacking is a familiar-- wait. ]

Do you have a little familiar too? Does your school's uniform include a pointed hat? You're the one who suggested the shower, but you won't start melting if running water touches you, will you?

[ the last one's weird but bear with him, he's not letting leona step in until he's sure he won't have a pile of lion goop to contend with. ]

[ okay. he's really milking some kind of stereotypical perception of wizards... witches... mages... and leona gets it.

doesn't mean he likes it though! ]

Nah. Got plenty of second and first years though, if that counts. My uniform is what you've seen me in--- vest, pants. And I'm perfectly fine in water.

[ the only lion goop is... you know. ]

Promise I'm not gonna slip into the drain.

[ hm...................

okay. kaname'll check the temperature before he pulls leona in with him, get soaked. ]

Good. I'd be upset if you melted.

[ that... feels better yeah. these showers always remind him of the ones the non-special students had to share, and having someone with him today intensifies it, but he vastly prefers the company of this particular beast to the ones at school. though he always tried to do it alone anyway. ]

You'd be a hassle and a half to clean up, and I'm not fond of hassles either. Too bad about the pointed that, though -- I think you'd look good in one.

You and me both.

[ he has plenty of time to metaphorically melt when they're done. right? or maybe he'll just ooze all over kaname right now, especially because he's now wet. water dripping down his braids, flowing down his body, which he now presses against kaname's back once they're both inside. he reaches for a bar of soap and lathers his hands with it before rubbing the other's skin from shoulders down to sides, to stomach... and even going lower so he can massage more sensitive places. ]

Mm, I dunno 'bout hats. Don't like the feeling of 'em on my ears.

[ unless it's like, a pirate hat, where it can sit in between.

he takes this time to press his face into the top of kaname's head, nosing his hair. ]

I should probably be thorough, huh?

[ kaname's hands jump to leona's with a sharp inhale before they go too far, grip tense a moment (it'd been different in the heat of the moment, he just needs to get used to it here) before he forces himself to let go and reply, stumbling a bit in his efforts to appear perfectly fine and definitely not jumpy or anything-- ]

R-Right, you should be. Thorough.

[ ... okay no he's turning around to look up at leona. ]

Let me do you first. [ he doesn't care if he's already started. he'll find this easier next time (next time?) but there's a kind of hesitance in his flushed expression. ] You treated me well, so... so I'll treat you well.

[ yeah. sure. he can go with that. just. he knows he asked for it, because it is appealing, he just needs to warm up to letting go. ]

[ brave. getting braver. finding his courage when it comes to the personal and the intimate... even if it's not obvious to kaname, leona's feeling the same way. yeah, he could have anyone he wanted back home. beastmen or beastwomen. some of it attributed to his status, but...

he certainly won't turn down a little this for that from kaname. ]

Mm? You already have.

[ but that doesn't mean... he won't show him the kind of favor that he blatantly deserves.

such as another headpat, brushing some of that wet hair back and behind that ear he's seen the boy do a few times before. ]

[ the motion turns his gaze down and then straight back up and off to the side, leona's fingers leaving warmth not from the water in their wake. the hair stays now, unlike when it's dry, and kaname leans into the touch as natural as can be. it's a habit he picked up mimicking someone else, but now it could only be his. ]

Shut up. I wouldn't call any of that equal -- certainly not to the partners you must've had with your comfort and experience.

[ but there's no heat to it, just a little embarrassment, and he gropes blindly for the soap for a moment before catching it and lathering his hands, setting it back carefully behind him as he starts under leona's chin, pressing his palms into the other's neck and then to his shoulders and back up again.

like a little massage, enjoy it. he'll do the same sort of back and forth as he goes down too: down arms and back up to shoulders, lingering there as he debates the merits of teasing a lion no matter how lethargic he seemed. ]

... Does that feel good?

[ he just needs to know before he moves down. ]

Mm, haven't had many of 'em. You'd be surprised what happens when they realize you're not some charitable and foolish prince lookin' for praise...

[ of course, this is all murmured. being lulled into a sense of calm by the water and now by a massage, kaname's hands a gentle reinforcement of how nice it is to be with someone... how can leona stand upright? shoulders slumping, ears drooping, eyes closing slightly; when was the last time he felt like he could be around another without at least one sense being affected in a negative way? ]

... yeah, feels nice. Wish I got attention like this all the time.

[ that has meaning, of course. that feels genuine. ]

[ mm. well, at least kaname can understand that to a point -- not quite to a princely point, but to a point. he moves back up briefly to cup leona's face, the weight nice in his hands, before he lifts up a little to kiss him.

briefly. he isn't lingering before he swipes his hands back down and runs them across the other's chest instead, talking as if he hadn't just did what he did. leona won't be short that attention anymore, kaname likes seeing him this way. ]

While I'm no prince, I had plenty of people seeking my favor in much the same way -- though I had to smile and place nice as if I liked their flattery. [ clearly he did not! ] I was told it was more important to ensure their cooperation than to have them against me.

[ though. the hated feeling was mutual. kaname'll rub down his sides too, same motions as before. point a, point b. ]

[ a kiss from kaname immediately raises both corners of his lips. ]

Well, I can say this from experience: the more people against ya, the more powerful you must be.

[ the touch to his sides makes his tail flick, drops of water splashing against the back of the shower. he arches his back to try to make himself a little longer, a little taller, wanting nothing more than to feel the ticklish sensation of kaname's digits moving down and down. something that he's not going to push back on, because... he should get used to leona's everything. ]

Ya got somethin' others covet. Not hard to see it.

[ mmmmmmmmmm he's going to... have to get used to this... but at least leona seems content to let him take his time with it, though kaname's reply is more of a murmured aside than a real answer that's hopefully swallowed by the water against them. ]

No, I don't think I did.

[ not in the way the other thinks, anyway. but he won't let it be chased or refuted, sliding past leona's hips to his back and rubbing there too, pressed close for better reach as he leisurely works his way up athletic muscle and then down again, curious about the tail he's never worked up the courage to touch.

he'll touch it now, from the base and as far out as leona'll let him go depending on reaction. ears he's got no problem with, but this... ]

[ whatever leona is about to say is swallowed up by the careful and slow touch at the base of his tail, causing his voice to catch in his throat and be replaced by a low murmur and rumble from his chest. another purr--- or something close to it--- from the beastman whose sensitive spot has been finally found.

his tail raises, along the rest of his lower half. it is, after all, a very pleasurable feeling.

so if that's the reaction kaname was looking for... he gets it. and as soon as the sensation fades, he clears his throat. ]

... ya satisfied?

[ kaname wasn't sure what he was expecting, but

it's a good reaction, and he hums pleased as can be, sounding just the same as he replies candidly. ]

Not by half, Leona. [ like a child with a new toy. ] I like how you sound.

[ and how he feels, both proof of kaname's good decisions -- so he repeats the motion, quietly thrilled by the sensitivity. ]

[ having a lion by the tail... it's probably dangerous. kaname's ever so lucky that he has leona's favor and then some, but at the same time? leona's lucky to have kaname. that the second time causes the beastman to shudder and slightly buck his hips. ]

Keep doin' it and you'll be joinin' me in making 'em.

[ which he wouldn't mind. his breathing, already heavy, is now turning into panting. ]

Is that so?

[ how tempting. kaname never thought he'd be one to do mischief -- no, he has to be a good boy and do as he's told so he isn't tossed away, so he isn't rejected and without a place to call "home" -- but maybe he simply never had the chance to feel like he could. it's unfamiliar even now, a desire he tentatively chases as he leaves leona's tail be and burns at the movement, inhaling slowly, evenly, delicate hand ghosting up the other's shaft and then down again.

he'll be more confident in the next touch, hand and himself both harder, but kaname's only focusing on the beastman. point a, point b, it's nerve-wracking and exciting in one. ]

Was this what you had in mind when you offered your shower?

[ with those wandering hands of his from before... washing his back was an excuse just to be close, wasn't it? but kaname can't be too mad at him. though that's probably his awakened hormones talking. ]

[ from one tail to another. he doesn't want to put all of his weight on kaname, opting instead to reach over him and rest both hands on the wall of the shower. to give himself support that might not end with the other toppling over from a beastman who can't help but lose a little control of himself.

it's different when it's someone else's touch. from their time spent before, it still felt good. but this is on a whole new level.

another long and heavy breath is expelled as he throbs in kaname's hand. ]

Ha... nah, I thought we'd just scrub each other a bit and just... enjoy each other's company.

[ leona chuckles. ]

Didn't think you'd be so bold to go for the tail.

I didn't know you'd have such a strong reaction.

[ sincerely. kaname's never had a cat, never heard anything about their sensitive spots or otherwise, and leona's ears had been fine to touch -- the tail was simple curiosity with great reward, leaning his head against the other as heat pools from his cheeks down.

it's less embarrassing the more he works leona, and he clears his throat after a moment. ]

Direct me. Fast or slow. That sort of thing.

[ whatever feels best, makes leona's knees knock. that sort of thing. ]

[ well, now he'll know for the future--- want leona to shut up, go for the tail. because it's kaname, there's no way he'll lash out in a physically defensive manner... he'll just have to swallow down whatever pride he has at that moment and 'punish' him later.

for now... ]

Start slow and work your way faster. [ said in between huffs, eyelids fluttering. ] You're already doin' a good job. Just... do what comes naturally.

[ kaname's an idol. he knows when people enjoy a performance, right? so he should, somehow, be able to make that knowledge into something that works here.

...

probably. either way, leona's not going to complain. ]

[ he is an idol, and yet most of his experience has come from here of all places; he had since debuted at reimei academy, had taken jobs and performances all the same under a name not his own, but it's been here he's felt exactly as excited as the first time he'd stood on stage -- before he'd learned the hard way that being an idol was far more taxing than he'd thought, that the expectations of others were cruelly punishing and his own health was fragile as a butterfly. kaname doesn't regret his impulse to give up that name of his, since his brother can shoulder the burden far easier than himself, but now...

there's no one to decide for him what he should do and, like the rest of his newfound freedom, it's been a mix of fun and stress to find out who he should or could be. they're distant thoughts, but ones that've driven him to this point: the kaname of reimei academy would never believe the one standing here now was him at all, regardless of their core remaining the same. he was far too bound, fooled into thinking that it was the only way he could be happy.

but kaname knows differently now, or he's working it out day by day, though old habits die hard as he tries not to let leona down, wanting to rise to the expectations he's put on himself in how best to put into practice the instructions. slow, then work it up faster...

he'll keep in mind the way leona huffs and purrs, easing his way into what's "natural", and when he's got a good rhythm he'll turn his head back up to tentatively kiss the beastman. how's that. ]
