[makoto makes a noncommittal sound at that, and hangs up. seconds later, the back door slides open, makoto looking up at the hinges worriedly; that was a lot more rattling that a few weeks ago...]
[he's momentarily confused by the dead line, but the greeting a moment later has him smiling over his shoulder. he's in his suit as promised, tight legskins folded down around his waist, showing the dumb tan line he's constantly trying to lower or remove]
Hey, Makoto.
[he doesn't get up from the pool, legs kicking idly in the water, but a kind of energy enters his shoulders; it's exciting in a kind of embarrassing way, when Makoto calls him just to fool around. it's getting more and more frequent, and this time he's even -- said he wanted to do that other thing. it's really hot, how bold Makoto's getting, and it makes him want to be silly and young and brave]
[makoto gets down on his haunches besides rin and presses a kiss to a momentarily relaxed expression. rin's skin feels warm; he's probably been here a while.]
[calmly, eyes on rin's waist--and he points.]
Fixing your tan line again? You're under the sun a lot, Rin.
[acting casual, like he didn't just ask rin in a really roundabout way to blow him. he focuses his attention on the water, though.]
[cheesy lines like that are always smoother and more cool in his head; Rin's cheeks become completely flush, and he covers with one hand his face, laughing into his palm]
Sorry -- sorry. That was bad. I'm just, excited to see you today.
[okay, he's mostly pleased, but also kind of nervous, what else is new. he reaches over, taking Makoto's hand to embarrassingly kiss the back of it]
[he knows rin is kidding, with the skinnydipping... but makoto, being makoto, makes a deadpan expression. it's easier to be like this around rin; what used to be easy with just haru--expressing his opinion through open expressions--becomes something he can now do more openly with others.]
Pass. You can do that, I'll go make myself a sandwich...
[that expression is one Rin actually loves, because only a very select few people get to see a Done Makoto. it's just so cute, with his eyebrows slack and his mouth all pouty, like that]
You know what you can't do at home? Kiss me.
[what a bossy not-quite-request; he scoots closer to where Makoto's perched, tilting his head up presumptuously for said kiss]
[why does his boyfriend shine so bright all the time? makoto pretends to think about it for a moment, and then smiles, leaning over for a quick kiss; he won't entirely give in.]
Hm. You're right. Kissing you out here feels like a whole different experience! We should be more public about our affections from now on!
[and Rin laughs again, just as bright and annoying as he did on the phone; hands withdraw as Makoto catches his wrists, and his palms are rotated to face Makoto like he's a criminal caught in the act]
Oi, I'm messing with you. Just 'cuz Makishima said that thing doesn't mean it's true.
[Rin leans between their stupid symmetrical points of contact to kiss at Makoto's lips, nipping playfully as he pulls back again]
Let's go inside, then.
[a glance of longing, here -- unfortunately for Makoto, towards the pool. he's been sitting on this warm concrete, a dip before things got heated up again would have felt nice...]
[not that he was the one hammering whatever makishima said home; rin was a beacon of reminding makoto about it, which sucked. regardless of that, and the longing glance at the pool, makoto sits up from his squat and makes an attempt to help rin up.]
We can swim later? It'll probably stay this summery for some time.
[of course he doesn't you sweet swummer child etc; but Rin brightens up some, perhaps a little similar to how Makoto himself looks when Rin decides he's going to make them dinner, or elects to forego a workout for a cuddle and video game session. romance and swimming are about the only two ways to really get on that level of pure conceit with Rin]
Sounds fun...
[he lets Makoto help him up, his own touch handsy-but-not, the flighty, fleeting crap Rin always pulls when he's a dangerous mixed of playful and affectionate. a hand tugs Makoto towards the back door, even as his cheeks heat up, recalling just why Makoto's shown up all (which wasn't for swimming, or scaring the neighbours with offensive tanlines)]
I don't think anybody's home.
[Makoto's cats are making nuisances of themselves somewhere in the house, surely, but it's quiet as Rin leads them through, like it's his house instead]
[holy shit, thinks makoto, this is actually happening.]
[but despite all that he's imagining will happen (A Reality, Soon), he can't help but wonder about the damp footprints left behind by rin in makoto's house. will they be a telling clue if momo arrives home earlier than most days? and where is rin's clothes, anyway? he didn't just walk over with just his jammers, did he?]
[he had a jacket on at some point, excuse you (yes he did walk over in mostly just his jammers)]
Hn?
[Rin's hand is tight in Makoto's, and he definitely isn't thinking about wet footprints or appropriate attire for walking around the neighbourhood. when they get to Makoto's bedroom, he opens the door for them, leaving it up to Makoto to close it]
[oh, one of the cats is on his bed (illegal!). it's Supun, who clearly fears no retribution; Rin leaves off holding Makoto's hand to pick her up, putting her on the floor]
[how did she always get inside his room? makoto smiles at the cat and heads over to scratch her head. she nuzzles, and nuzzles, and nuzzles--and makoto gives in, picking her up against his chest. the purring calms him down, and even so, it feels wrong to leave her inside the room.]
[...so he dumps her outside (she jumps out of his arms), and makoto closes the door quietly. he turns to rin, and his expression is a lot more neutral.]
[rin really looks silly in just his jammers. what kind of situation is this?]
[quietly, for makoto, he moves closer to his boyfriend and wraps his arms around rin's waist, hands on his hip and the other on his back. rin's skin still feels warm from being under the sun, and that makes makoto feel a bit more comfortable; it reminds him that this isn't some complicated puzzle, that he loves rin and rin loves him back, it's fine to feel embarrassed. which is why makoto's approach includes no words, but an almost instant kiss--slow and deep--to a nervous smile, confidence streaming from unlikely places (the hand on rin's back moving down to cup rin's ass), back of knees bumping against the edge of the bed.]
[naturally, Rin has no sense of ever feeling silly in his jammers; rather, they're a part of him that makes him feel strong, and confident, and capable, so in a weird way, it's kind of exciting to be fooling around with Makoto dressed and Rin ready for a dive in the pool. Makoto's confidence is thrilling, but there's something uncertain tightening in his chest. Rin wants to be in control of this, but not full control; he always botches things up on his own, trying to force his own way. it's a little bit out of the blue and a little bit really, really not, this whole scenario, so while he's not questioning if today will be the day, he's nervous about how this will work, if he can actually pull it off -- and puts all that energy into returning Makoto's kiss]
[and some time later, after they've already gotten tangled up hot and heavy on the bed, words escape from him in jagged little breaths as they part. they're said with a fragile kind of strength, meant to hang between the two of them only in this moment]
I've never done -- obviously, I mean, you know... [there aren't any more unknowns, not really, when it came to what their respective experience was like. it's another reason to feel less nervous, even if the anticipation is killing him. he's also maybe a little worried that he's -- not rushing things, definitely not, but that he won't be particularly good at it. videos and embarrassing solo practice did not exactly leave one bursting with confidence] ...s-so, if it's bad, tell me, and I'll... [a nervous trailing off; he'll want to stop, probably, and stick his head under the sink. that's childish, isn't it? he needs to be more brave] ...t-try to do better.
[makoto empathises terribly with what rin is telling him. it's normal to feel this kind of anxiety over something they haven't done before, even if it's something they've been really wanting to do--but since it involves physical intimacy, it's no wonder they want it to go as smoothly as possible.]
[which is why makoto smooths a hand over rin's cheek, pushing some strands of red behind an ear, as the other speaks, and smiles--halfway embarrassed, at his half-hard state and the desire just oozing from himself.]
Rin, I know. It's okay--let's just, have fun with it? ...it's both our firsts, so, uhm, I'll talk you through it...? I love you, for wanting to do it. So...
Re: text > call
You're probably right. Should I continue walking faster?

[he doesn't want to keep playing this telemarketers game]
I'm a few houses away! [what's desirable] We can go inside? And, uhm, I'll take my shirt off?

[a teasing boyfriend is the worst]
Re: text > call
[which boyfriend]
Re: text > call
Gross! I don't care how many reps you've done, oi!
Re: text > call
Are you sure? I mean, it's been a while since I've walked around without socks on, you never know...
Re: text > call
Re: text > call
[anyway, focus]
Hey, Rin.
[walks over towards the pool, wearing slippers]
Re: text > call
Hey, Makoto.
[he doesn't get up from the pool, legs kicking idly in the water, but a kind of energy enters his shoulders; it's exciting in a kind of embarrassing way, when Makoto calls him just to fool around. it's getting more and more frequent, and this time he's even -- said he wanted to do that other thing. it's really hot, how bold Makoto's getting, and it makes him want to be silly and young and brave]

Is it nice?

[cheesy lines like that are always smoother and more cool in his head; Rin's cheeks become completely flush, and he covers with one hand his face, laughing into his palm]
Sorry -- sorry. That was bad. I'm just, excited to see you today.
[okay, he's mostly pleased, but also kind of nervous, what else is new. he reaches over, taking Makoto's hand to embarrassingly kiss the back of it]
Ready to skinnydip?
Re: text > call
Pass. You can do that, I'll go make myself a sandwich...
[doesn't move, though]
Re: text > call
[that expression is one Rin actually loves, because only a very select few people get to see a Done Makoto. it's just so cute, with his eyebrows slack and his mouth all pouty, like that]

[being a shit (tm)]
King Shit
Ohh, I get it. You don't want to just swim naked out here, huh.
[he chases after that annoyingly quick kiss, his hand falling to Makoto's waist and tugging at his pants]
Well, alright, you win.
Re: King Shit
[rin, definitely. because makoto doesn't like taking things too far when it comes to teasing and being a king of da shit.]
Uhm...
[tries moving away a bit, from rin's hands, and instead holds onto the other's wrists]
Rin, uhm, I really want to kiss you a lot right now and, do things to you, but not out in the open like this. Not really...
Re: King Shit
Oi, I'm messing with you. Just 'cuz Makishima said that thing doesn't mean it's true.
[Rin leans between their stupid symmetrical points of contact to kiss at Makoto's lips, nipping playfully as he pulls back again]

[Okay, makoto is Panicking a bit.]
Rin...
[the anticipation]
