Oh? Did I have a good point after all?

[Good. Then no arguing to KOmaeda rubbing and massaging at his shoulders. Granted this would be easier if Hinata weren't wearing a shirt. But that's beside the point. He can make do.

He minds the strength of his prosthetic as he kneads at tense muscles now. He's intent on doing well okay! His Hajime has had a long day. He deserves to be pampered a little.]

You say that but you know you have good points a lot...

[Hinata grunts, his head tilting a little to one side, his eyes closing as Komaeda works at his shoulders. He can feel his shoulders beginning to relax, tight muscles loosening under fingers.]

You've... really gotten used to your prosthetic. [He can't help but note it, because it feels nothing but pleasant, no additional strength by accident.]

[Aww. Hinata thinks he has good points. Komaeda beams happily to himself, continuing on, humming softly to himself. He glances down at his hands now as Hinata mentions it.]

I have. It comes really natural now. So I'm not pressing too hard, right? It feels good?

[Komaeda smiles now, kind of proud of himself.]

Nghh--

[...That's an answer, isn't it? Well, it's one that Komaeda's getting as those hands keep working at his shoulders. He wants to loll his head to one side, but then it'll make it difficult for Komaeda to get at the other shoulder and.

Ahh. He's really being pampered.] Mhm. It feels great.

[That's a pretty good answer, really. Komaeda will take it as a positive anyway. His expression softens into a smile and he leans closer to nuzzle into the hair at the back of Hinata's head, all affection for the moment.]

Good. It's supposed to feel good.

[Mission accomplished then. Hinata deserves some pampering.]

...Can I give you one after this?

[When Komaeda leans back from his nuzzling, Hinata will tilt his head back to look up at him with a crooked but warm smile. One of his hands lifts, covering one of Komaeda's, brushing his fingers softly over his.]

I want to return the favour.

You don't have to worry about me in this case, you know. You're the one who had a long day, isn't that right?

[But that said, well,] If you want to though, I don't think I'd really ever actually say no.

[Not when it involves Hinata touching, okay? He'd have to be an idiot to turn that down. But for now he's really focused on seeing if he can turn Hinata into a relaxed puddle of goo and get rid of his soreness and tension.]

I want to. [At once. Hinata lifts an eyebrow at him.] No matter which one of us had--ooh--longer days...

[He's sagging again underneath Komaeda's fingers, sighing lowly, his head leaning forward this time, his neck one smooth line. His eyes close once more as he soaks in Komaeda's attention and his fingers.

Luck... more like SHSL masseur...]

Well. Somehow it seems against my best interest to argue against having Hajime's hands on me.

[He's just saying. That's like his favorite thing ever. It's actually managed to nudge "hope" out of its top spot. Though in fairness, with the realization and remembrance of their pasts and despair and hope and all they've wrought, well, it faltered a little. Still right up there. Still important, even if his approach to it has shifted.

Not that he's thinking much on this. Instead he's concentrating on the feeling of Hinata's muscles beneath his fingertips.

Also that pretty neck, well, he leans in to press a kiss to the nape of his neck.]

[Give him a second here, Komaeda, Hinata's busy groaning a little, his shoulders hitching up just a bit under fingers. And even more at that kiss to the nape of his neck. He chances a look over his shoulder at him, a little red-faced.]

...Mmf. Then, we can switch now.

[It's his turn now!]

[Red faced is like a bonus. It's really a cute look on Hinata. Komaeda draws back as he sees him turn though, eyebrows lifting.] Oh? Already?

[Well he's not going to argue anyway. Instead his hands shift up to ruffle through Hinata's hair before he sits back against the couch nodding.] Then, I'm ready! Where should I sit?

[What way is best?]

[Shh. Leave him and his red face alone.

Hinata nods at the already because maybe he wants to have a look at that ponytail while he's at it but that's a secret. He chuckles as his hair is ruffled and pushes himself up to his feet.] Any way is fine. Just get comfortable.

[And he'll do the rest.]

[He can't it's adorable. But lucky for Hinata, Komaeda is distracted by moving to settle himself to a seat, cross-legged, back to Hinata. He peeks back over his shoulder with an expectant, eager smile.

Hooray massages from his boyfriend. This is way better than any of his good luck could ever manage to be okay?

He will discover that interest in the ponytail, Hinata. Don't think he won't.] I'm comfortable! But you're going to make me more comfortable, right?

[Hinata moves to settle behind him, kneeling, smiling when he glances back and placing his hands on Komaeda's shoulders. He starts to knead, pressing his thumbs up along the back of his neck first, over where his hair usually covers.]

That's what I'm planning on.

[He laughs but, now that he's thinking about it...] Hey, Nagito... it might be a little off topic, but I wanted to talk about something with you.

[Komaeda almost immediately melts beneath that touch, a soft pleased sound slipping past his lips before he even realizes it. Oooh it's good already. His eyes start to droop shut and he's about to disappear into enjoying the touch entirely.

Then Hinata speaks and he blinks his eyes open to peek back over his shoulder again.]

Hmm? Of course. WHat do you want to talk about? [Komaeda will listen! Is something wrong though? Did he do something wrong?]

[Hinata keeps massaging, gently pressing his fingers against his neck to encourage him to look back forward when he looks back. No moving! Stay still! He's working his fingers against the muscle of his shoulders, expression focused.]

Mostly about us, and... everyone who just got here.

[He settles palms on Komaeda's shoulders for a moment, to warm them. His expression's become pensive.] When we're going to tell them that we're dating. [Because... hiding something like that isn't an option.

Despite everything, despite knowing how the others feel about Komaeda, they're still his friends and Komaeda's important to him. And he wants for them to come to understand one another or, at the very least, give each other another chance. Because he knows, after months, a year and more with Komaeda, that things can change. People can change.

--he wants them to see it, too.]

[Komaeda turns his head forward again, eyes drifting shut once more. Okay yes he'll stay still keep that up, Hinata. It feels really good. He's melting entirely beneath the touch. Soon he'll be a Komaeda-shaped puddle of goo.

Though the conversation catches his attention and for a moment he just hums softly in acknowledgment.]

When? [He echoes quietly.] Then you want to let them know?

[Really he's mostly just happy that Hinata still wants to be with him, even with reminders of their past showing up and people who dislike him as much as they do. But then, Hinata's a good person. Definitely too good for him.]

Won't that be troublesome for you though?

[The person that he is, that he has been, Komaeda doesn't blame his classmates (or anyone) for wanting nothing to do to him.] Though thinking about it, Hanamura-kun already seems to know.

Eh.

[Hinata's fingers still with surprise.] Hanamura? But... [How? He's pretty sure he would remember mentioning it, and by Komaeda's wording he doesn't remember either.]

How does he...?

[...But, in the end. Hinata shakes his head.] They were going to find out eventually anyway, I guess. I don't want to hide it from them. And... I want you guys to be able to come to understand each other.

[Like he came to understand Komaeda.]

He said something about a little bird.

[Whoever that may be. They haven't kept it a secret exactly, but Komaeda doesn't think many people actually know right?

Komaeda peeks back over his shoulder again, quiet for a moment as he looks at Hinata. He really doesn't want to hide it? There's a moment where he hesitates before scooting around to face him.] I don't know if anyone will really want to understand me except for you. Even back on the island, you're the only person who ever really spoke to me, despite everything.

[A pause, thoughtful more than anything else.] But I do want to try. And if you want to tell them that we're together... somehow that makes me happy. Is that strange?

[Hinata's expression crumples a little and he leans forward, arms wrapping about Komaeda's neck, dragging him close into an embrace.]

Of course it's not strange, moron. It's normal to be happy about telling people. It's supposed to be happy.

[It's just... a little complicated with them. With everyone.] I want you to be happy, and I don't want to hide what you are to me. Sorry, if it ever seemed troublesome or like I wanted to hide it...but it's not either of those things. [He's apologising for how he's been shy about it, private as Hinata tends to be with these sorts of things, but in the end:] I'm proud that we're together.

Edited 2015-04-05 16:04 (UTC)

[Komaeda blinks in surprise as he's suddenly pulled into that hug. BUt that's fine by him. His own arms lift to wrap around Hinata in turn, holding tightly. He smiles as he's called a moron -- what? it's like a petname at this point -- but his expression falters when Hinata continues.]

Hajime...

[Hinata is really proud of it? That they're together? Even if it's with him? This is the sort of sweet sentiment that Komaeda never really knows how to handle it. So he can feel his face heating, a flush rising in his cheeks. And he turns to press his face to Hinata's neck, shaking his head.] You don't have to apologize, you know. I am a troublesome person, after all. [He is. But he's trying!] I'm proud to be with you too. Really proud.

You lose a point for calling yourself troublesome.

[Hinata mutters into his hair, burying his face against the side of his head. His hands squeeze at Komaeda's back, fingers pressing him close and how warm he is... Plus, he thinks he can feel the heat of Komaeda's face.

Ahh, it really is these kinds of things that make Komaeda blush.]

We'll mention it whenever we want, then. I'm... not going to keep it to myself just 'cause I'm being stupid and shy about it anymore.

Aaah... even in a sentimental moment, you're being strict.

[Komaeda answers, a sulky tone to his voice. But it's clearly not serious becuse he's being held so close, can feel Hinata leaning into his hair. He's too happy right now to really sulk.

But not to really blush. So he's keeping his face pressed right to Hinata's neck still, nuzzling in all the closer.] Mm. Whenever we want. I like that. [But, for the record,] It's kind of cute when you're shy though.

[Of course he's being strict! Out of love.

Hinata laughs quietly into his hair and shifts a hand to pluck at the pale pieces of it, running his fingers through them.] ...I'm still gonna work on getting less shy, though.

[Then Komaeda can't tease him as much!]

[Jeez. That sort of strictness how is he supposed to get away with anything? No fair at all! The hands in his hair are a good consolation prize though, and Komaeda will just enjoy it for a moment, that touch.

Eventually he lifts his head even if the faint blush is still visible in his cheeks.] I'm sure you can manage it if you try.

[But teasing is so much fun. So sad. He leans in to steal a quick kiss, brief and fleeting but brimming with affection.] I love you.
