unholey: (SHY ☠ that I never forgot)

[personal profile] unholey 2017-03-23 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Fugo knows. He remembers. He remembers a lot of things, especially things that Giorno has said to him, because that's just how his mind works. And he almost always is paying close attention to what Giorno says. He's not going to forget that moment in a hurry, or this one; or the silly smacking sound Giorno made when he kissed his jaw after teasing him about the marks Giorno left behind on him to begin with.

But it's a little (a lot) like how, now that he's no longer afraid of thinking it, Fugo wants to tell Giorno he loves him whenever he can. He knows that Giorno knows. But he wants to say it, again and again. Because he likes to and thinks Giorno should hear it every day. I love you, ti amo, aishiteru.]

[But all of that's too complicated to sort out, especially when he's so hazy and unfocused to begin with by the soft brush of Giorno's lips on his cheek. So many almost-kisses. Too many to count.]


Um. Yours do. But you keep-- [Fugo shifts in place, a little shy, eyes twitching this way and that.] You keep coming back to the same places. So it's hard to say for sure.

Mm-hmm. [Fugo ... honestly isn't expecting Giorno to continue his thought. His hands lazily drift away from Giorno's face, one catching in his hair while the other settles around his shoulder. His eyes drift mostly closed and he allows himself to simply enjoy the way Giorno is leaning against him, the little ticklish flutter of his eyelashes against his jaw, the certainty of the grip on his hip. He sighs contently when he's kissed, further curling into Giorno's arms.

And then Giorno starts talking again. Fugo's eyes snap open and he freezes a little, startled by Giorno's careful examination of his own motives. I want to make you happy, is ... something he knows, both because he can infer it from Giorno's behavior and because he's said it before, but he's never connected it before with so if I know which places make you squirm.]


Oh-- I-- [If they weren't so caught up in each other this would be the point where Fugo, trying to the way he's gone red in the face, would bury his face in a nearby pillow, or hide underneath a blanket, or if all else fails just behind his hands. But Giorno's got a grip on his waist still, so all this amounts to is wiggling in place.] Oh.

[What does he say. What does he do with this information? Make a silly flustered sound and hold on a little tighter onto Giorno instead of pulling away. Is Giorno bullying him, or just thinking out loud? Right now it's very hard for him to tell. He wants to say something, but all of his words are so clumsy and silly all of a sudden.]

Is... that. How it is.

[Giorno is so quick to react to the signals his body is sending. There's a hand at his back, easing the tension out of him in slow circles, and another comforting kiss on his throat. Little by little, his posture starts to relax again. He doesn't reply right away; instead, he gives himself space to settle and to ease into Giorno's touch.]

I knew that. I think. [It's a sort of knowing that's hard to put into words, because this is one of those subjects that's almost too embarrassing to think about. It makes very good sense, the idea that Giorno comes back to the places that feel so good he can't help but squirm. Because Giorno wants him to feel good. Giorno wants him to happy.] Hearing it feels... bigger. You surprised me, that's all.

[He falls quiet. The hand on Giorno's shoulder moves back, then forth, before dropping to reach his collarbone. When Fugo's thumb finds it, he carefully draws a line until he finds the place where he made a mark; it comes to a rest there and, after a moment of hesitation, starts to mimic the motion Fugo feels at his back.]

Because-- I want the same thing. [Here, he fumbles with his words. But even though his voice isn't much more than a shy, embarrassed mumble, he continues on.] You make me feel very good. I want you to feel the same way.

[Fugo's done being a bully tonight. He doesn't laugh, or even chuckle, when Giorno squeaks, or point out that it happened. Just smiles, soft and wan, and gently strokes the top of his head. He's glad. He's so glad they can just-- be together like this, that Giorno likes to curl up and hide on his shoulder. He's content to stay this way for as long as Giorno needs.

His expression when Giorno pulls himself up is the sort that's so open it's a little painful to look at. He listens, eyes slowly widening as he realizes what Giorno is talking about. It lines up in a strange way next to something Giorno said earlier this evening. About how the more okay he seems, the less okay he feels. And I'm really scared, still. But I trust you. His mouth trembles, he pulls in a breath and, although his eyes are watery, he doesn't cry.]


You're ... [Fugo closes his eyes and swallows. He has to, because his voice would wobble otherwise.] So careful with me. [There isn't a thing he wouldn't do, wouldn't give to Giorno. That's the weight of his promise: everything. When he opens his eyes again, he's brought his eyebrows together and there's an adamant set to his jaw.] Yes. I promise.

If there's something I can't talk about, or if I feel uncomfortable, I promise I'll tell you. And if you're worried or can't tell, it's okay to ask. I'll never lie to you, even if the only way I can think to explain is stupid.

[Fugo finds it difficult to be resolute when Giorno touches him, fingertips touching featherlight to memorize all the sharp corners that come together to make up his face when he frowns. By the time Giorno starts to kiss those places, around his jaw and between his brows and finally on his mouth, it's half-unraveled. When he speaks, it's fallen completely to pieces. He can't help but make a soft noise when Giorno pulls back just enough to speak again, a silly wordless murmur half-shaped into the words come back.

(He knows, now, exactly how mean it was earlier to tease Giorno when he was trapped by his own mistletoe. To lean in and almost-kiss Giorno, letting their mouths almost but not-quite come together with every syllable. This doesn't mean he won't do it again. It's just that since he knows, he'll have to save this for when he's feeling particularly contrary.)

Giorno is ... reflecting back at him something he said on the first of the month. All of you. The parts he likes. The parts he hates. All of him. And, oh, it hurts. He can't hide that it hurts either, not when they're so close and Giorno knows him so well. He brushes their noses together and smiles softly, happy and sad at once. Feelings really are stupid, aren't they?]


I believe you. [He... can't stand it, really, not being able to kiss Giorno when they're so close. So he just does it, briefly focused on nothing else but that. He's a little fuzzy and out-of-focus after, but as far as he's concerned it's a fair trade.] Because-- aishiteru. I'll always meet you halfway. Always.
unholey: (loyalty ☠ come on and teach me)

[Fugo sinks contently into the kiss, finding it difficult to think of anything but the softness of Giorno's mouth, the tickle of fingers in his hair, how they pull away and then come together. Slow and easy. It's a kiss where they take their time. He feels relaxed, which is sort of strange in its own way given how tense he usually is, and he can tell by the way Giorno moves and the easy set of his shoulders that he feels the same, which is delightful.]

Mmm. [This nose thing they do, it's awfully silly. Downright foolish. But he can't help but like it. Giorno's got such a cute nose, which is an equally silly thought. But true? It's a fact. Fugo wonders if he should tell Giorno this sometime. Not now, because Giorno wants to ask him something, one last thing.] I'm ... running out of words, I think. But I have enough for your question. What is it?
unholey: (FILES ☠ but now I'll)

[personal profile] unholey 2017-03-30 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[As if to prove Giorno's case in point, Fugo can feel himself getting warm all over. His eyes slide away from Giorno's face and he worries at his lip. It's one question, but-- even though the answer should be simple, it's all a complicated, messy knot tied tight in his chest.]

Can I-- have a moment? To think. [Fugo doesn't pull away, or even make Giorno let go of him. Instead he shifts and adjusts his weight, leaning against Giorno, temple-to-temple, while he picks and pulls at his feelings. He's quite for a good long while, enough that his breathing inadvertently winds up matching in time with Giorno's. But he does speak up eventually.]

It doesn't make me uncomfortable. I-- want to be with you. In every way I can. I like it when we can be together. But this-- all of this-- it's new to me. It's not something I ever thought I could have. Because when I was in school, everyone was always older than me. Most of them didn't even like that I was there. And those that didn't mind thought I was--

Strange. You know? [As miserable as the experience was, the closest thing he can remember to a friendly class was the baffled student body of the Università di Bologna. Who weren't unfriendly, but just couldn't understand how or why he was there with them.] So I didn't even let myself think about it. Especially after Purple Haze. It didn't... feel safe. Because it isn't safe to be around me.

I never thought this was something I could have. That I would ever meet someone who wanted to be with me the way you do. That it was-- okay. For me to want to be with someone, the way I want to be with you. It's so new to me. I don't know what to do with any of it.

[This time, it's Fugo's shoulders that slump with relief. He was expecting confusion; a series of gentle questions. But Giorno just quietly watches him and listens, thinks quietly to himself, and leans in to kiss him when he's done.

Fugo stares at him when he pulls away, eyes wide and wondering. Oh. Oh, Giorno just gets it, even though everything he just said barely makes sense in his own head. And then he just continues to amaze him, word after word.]


I'm... glad. [He reaches again for Giorno's face, tracing his hairline. He doesn't realize it, but he's smiling again. Really smiling, warm and relieved and lopsided, even though he can't help the red that's flooding his cheeks. Giorno doesn't think he's strange. Giorno understands what he means. Giorno feels safest when they're together. He can't look away from him, from the way he's smiling.] I'm so glad. [He pulls his lower lip between his teeth; it's sensitive from all this kissing, but the gesture makes him feel better.] We'll-- figure it out together, won't we. Because we have time. Because ... we're better together. Than we would be on our own.

[None of these are questions. They're just facts, at the heart of this thing between them that they're puzzling out and piecing together. Little by little. Bit by bit. Half-step by half-step.]

[Fugo is kissed, so sweet and soft that he lets go of his little nervous gesture-- only for Giorno to tug on his lip instead. Not hard enough to leave a mark. Yet. Giorno's question, followed by the list of things he wants, makes Fugo chuckle. They were going to be done earlier, except they got caught up in talking again. It's funny.]

Yes, please. [He slides his hands down from Giorno's face, fingers tracing a careful and precise path around his jaw and down his neck; they fan out on his shoulders, palms brushing across his chest until they reach his sides. Then, it's a straight shot down his sides and past the dip of his waist until they find a secure place on Giorno's hips. Fugo presses as close as he can.] Let's be done.

I ... [Color floods his face. He knows what he wants. But can he say it? He knows he should. So, even though it would be easier to just lean in and kiss Giorno, he gives himself half a moment for the worst flutters in his stomach to pass.] Want you to kiss me so much that when we're finished, I won't be able to recite a single fact about macroglossum stellatarum. I'll have to start over when we move on to the second item on your list.
unholey: (HUFF ☠ we'd snap that sucker in two)

[personal profile] unholey 2017-04-04 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't take much at all to tip Fugo over. In the moment before Giorno twists his posture is easy and relaxed in a way it only ever is when it's just the two of them, only ever when they're this close. He's focused less on Giorno's posture and more on the light, soothing, and incredibly distracting touch of his fingertips on the nape of his neck slowly catching and settling in his hair.

And then Giorno twists underneath him and, very unceremoniously, tips him onto the bed. (For the record: while Fugo might later claim he absolutely didn't squeak in surprise when this happened, the sound he made very much meets the qualifications of a squeak.) Fugo barely has time go get his bearings before--

Oh. There's Giorno again, looking very pleased with himself and the position he's put them both in. He-- is such a bully. He's such a bully and Fugo is a little exasperated with himself and the way his heart his racing; about how in love he is with him, this boy who's pushed him down and is smiling dangerously at him and still isn't kissing him.]


I said it. Didn't I? [Fugo pulls his brows together and manages to frown, caught halfway between being stubborn and flustered. When Giorno tipped him over, Fugo his grip on his hips; so he reaches up again, this time securing his position by bunching his fingers up in Giorno's nightgown.] I'm certain.

[personal profile] unholey 2017-04-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[How is it. That with just a little touch like that, Giorno can undo the knots of tension that threaten to tie themselves up in-- all of him, really. Fugo shivers at the trail Giorno's fingertips take, winding up his arm; across his shoulder, then down his side.

Because that's the first place that Giorno is going to leave a mark on him tonight. There: right there, at that very particular spot underneath his ribs.]


Giogio-- [In this moment, what he feels is just ... too big for words. He wants so badly to be touched, for Giorno to stop teasing him and kiss him already, but he also just wants to stare up at him like this forever. Giorno is beautiful every day: that's simply a fact. But he's particularly beautiful when he's being wicked, with his smile sharp as the blade of a knife. It's so overwhelming. Fugo loves him even though he's so mean, and why won't he kiss him--

Oh. Oh, thank God. Fugo can't help the sound of relief that escapes him when Giorno finally, finally closes the gap between them. It just sort of happens, like the way he presses up to meet him, insistent and needy and with very little of his usual carefulness, and how his fingers let go of the nightgown so he can fit his hands around Giorno's waist instead. There. That will keep Giorno in place; close and warm and perfect.]
