Kai was irritable tonight. That was the only word for it. If the eye rolls and sharp, snappy tone was anything to go by, his patience was kind of wearing thin with Sean. He pressed his nose against the other man’s, wishing Kai would lighten up a little. This was Sean’s first gay… anything, if he could even call it that. He had every right to be a little (or a lot) freaked out, especially given how deeply uncool Livvy and Fred were about their little arrangement.
“Sorry.” he mumbled, words muffled against the other man’s mouth. It was a multipurpose apology, half for completely crushing Kai underneath him and the other half for being so antsy tonight. He didn’t want Kai to be sulky with him. Not when they’d been having such a nice time.
There was also the distinct possibility that Sean was too in his head. And in fact, none of this was about him. After all, Kai had been checking his phone a lot during dinner, every little buzz of his phone pulling down the corners of his mouth. When he thought about it that way, it was hard to believe Kai could be annoyed with him at all. Not when he was pressing his tongue into his mouth, Sean’s legs bracing either side of his hips as he fought to get closer.
Besides, he thought he had a pretty good idea how to coax Kai out of his bad mood.
He was still clumsy, overeager when the other man touched him. He thought he had enough authority on the subject to say that Kai was a pretty good kisser, whereas Sean was kinda… well… average at best. Flushing bright red, he nipped at Kai’s jaw in reproach.
“You’re not very encouraging.” he mumbled.
Sean felt rather than heard the vibration this time. He lifted his hips, allowing Kai the space to shuck his phone free, and collapsed atop him once again. He didn’t know what exactly on the other end of his phone had so much of his attention, but he was starting to feel a little sore about it.
Pushing his face into the junction of Kai’s neck, Sean pressed his mouth against the pale expanse of skin there. His palms felt sweaty and uncertain even as he did it, parting his lips only slightly to place a soft, wet kiss there. He doubted himself immediately, unsure he was doing it right. He thought Kai would probably have notes.
“Tanvi?” he echoed, hearing rather than seeing Kai’s phone go flying. Good. He wasn’t sure if the act of kissing him had been inherently selfish or not. Yes, he wanted to take his mind off whatever was bothering him. Yes, he also wanted his attention.
Lifting his head, he asked, “She’s on her date, right? With that guy you work with?”
He raised an eyebrow, placing a hand over Kai’s heart to push himself upright.
“Is this because you don’t like him?”
He searched Kai’s face, trying to read his mind in the slight downturn of his lips, the furrow of his brow. He was used to being so in tune with five other guys at any given time on the ice, but he didn’t know how to read Kai.
“Want me to take your mind off it?” he asked, trying not to visibly wince as he heard himself. He was so out of practice when it came to flirting.
