THAT'S 555-RED-DAWN! CALL NOW!*
*blank period only!
Of course, Sakura. Shino had almost forgot. Sasuke's main idea was to do this with Sakura, who rightfully didn't from what he knows. Then, he decided to explore with him, 'explore' being a big word in this context. Shino has to wonder if he'd treat Sakura the same; assume that she's going to do all the work like one of his prostitutes. Shino can't repress the cringe forming on his face at the thought.
"Sex with you isn't mindless to me. Why? Because you dislike most of the things I'd like to do and receive. You get to lay down and enjoy your ride while I- I just-!" Shino waves his hands in the air, growing frustrated and losing his words! Because Sasuke isn't wrong on the mindless part but this isn't how Shino gets to be mindless! This guy...
"Then how..." Shino rubs his nose bridge and sighs, losing his patience. "How about you show me. Prove that you know how to have sex because I don't believe you. Get me going and I'll do it. Come touch me." He's positive Sasuke can't. In fact, Shino is fully prepared to walk out.
Was Shino challenging him? Sasuke may've walked out himself because of such a test. But he was not going to let Shino, of all people, disrespect him. He was Uchiha Fucking Sasuke, Sage damnit! He had a lot more sex than Shino could dream of. If anyone knew how to have sex, it was him! And if this bug-loving Aburame minger wanted him to show him, then he was going to show him! And that's exactly what Sasuke did.
Sasuke steps forward, eliminating the distance between them, angry eyes of black and purple glaring into the darkness of Shino's sunglasses--ignoring the nails on chalkboard keening in the back of his brain from the eye contact or "eye" contact. Then, without saying a thing, he grabs Shino's pants and yanks them open, nearly popping the button off. Before literally stuffing his hand into them and grabbing the Aburame's very flaccid (and very large) penis.
From there, he proceeds to very aggressively and angrily squeeze and jerk Shino's cock as if trying to strangle it--or yank it off. Either or. All while still glaring the Aburame down (or up technically, considering the slight height difference). Because at this point, Sasuke is too irked to acknowledge his own icks with staring. Or the fact that he was touching another man's penis. Oh, Father would be so disappointed in Sasuke if he saw him, wouldn't he? No, no. Don't think about it.
What Sasuke wouldn't do for a handle right now. And he'd take anything. Even vodka. Maybe he'd hit Sakura up after this. He heard that was her favourite, and he could use a drinking buddy depending on how this ended up. And no, he wouldn't bring any whipped cream.
There's a glint in Shino's sunglasses, he doesn't even bother hiding his proud expression. A success! His friday night just got a hundred times better; he's getting laid! And Deidara looks very eager to get fucked!
It's always so satisfying to witness someone's excitement at the idea of having sex with him. In fact, Shino is so happy that he's feeling generous. He takes out his wallet and takes enough money out to pay for Deidara's many ramen bowls as well as his own order.
"Take your time." Shino says, although he's fascinated by how fast Deidara manages to eat his bowl. Perhaps a bit turned on, too. "Which hotel? I'll come meet you there. Because I need to run home first. For the lube." And the lone condom in his pocket might not be enough.
"Oh, uhh... that big one by the entrance, hn." Deidara gestures with his fork (yes, he ate ramen with a fork because he hated chopsticks! They weren't customary to Iwa). He had stayed there once before, and it was clean and affordable enough. And in the perfect position for if he had to get the hell out of dodge on a second's notice. "Yeah, sure. I'll leave the window open." He didn't expect Shino to be so open about leaving to get lube. Or happy he had agreed to have sex with him. They may've gotten a side look from the chef, too.
As Shino offered money for more ramen, Deidara says nothing in objection. He had enough for only two, maybe three, bowls. He was going to use the extra cash to treat himself to a little liquid courage, too. Before the negative voices in his head talked him out of this once-in-a-lifetime decision--like they often did.
So, that's exactly what he did, ordering himself a beer to wash down his ramen. He couldn't say this is how he saw his night going. He had originally planned to have dinner, then spend the night in a hotel. Maybe rent a movie or get drunk. But he had no complaints about this change of plans. He was as excited as he was nervous. He had never had sex before. But, he had read a lot of smut novels. And Sasori was always happy to tell his partner about his sex life in painstaking detail. So, it shouldn't be too hard, right? Right? Even he couldn't fuck this up.
Looks like he was getting two beers tonight, just in case.
The reveal doesn't come as a surprise to Shino. In fact, he had his suspicions. After all, did Deidara forget the time he pulled down his pants to get a silly dick rating? Shino had given him a ten despite the missing appendage and he meant it. His current proposition isn't one filled with expectations and he has no problems with Deidara being born female but being a man.
However, it seems to be a matter of distress for the blonde so Shino softens his tone and relaxes his posture. He's not here to be scary and demand compromises for something that isn't missing at all.
"I don't mind any of that." Shino tries to reassure in the softest tone he can muster despite his monotonous voice. "I'd like to touch you and I'd like for you to touch me anyway you please. Why? Because it looks fun." Shino glances in the kitchen to make sure everybody is still out of earshot. "I have condoms and lube. I'll fuck you in either hole you please. I can fuck all of your holes if you want. I apologize for my dirty speech in a public space but Deidara-san, you must understand that I do not view you negatively and I'll happily take what you have to offer."
"I don't mind any of that," Shino says, and Deidara questions whether his hearing devices are on the fritz and he misheard the Aburame (which also reminds him he should look into replacing the batteries soon). Did he say he didn't "mind"? And not just that, but Shino doubles down, talking about touching him and fucking him in either hole or all holes, and-- Deidara hates it, but it succeeds in getting him blushing. A fact he quickly tries to disguise by positioning his face over his hot bowl of ramen and pretending the redness in his cheeks is caused by the steam. He couldn't help himself; no one had ever spoken to him like that. It was like a line out of one of his smut novels, and he kind of liked it...?
"Oh, uhhh... o-ok..." He didn't know what else to say. He never thought he'd get this far. He doesn't want to look too pathetic so quickly switches his tone, clearing his throat. "L-Let me just finish my ramen, hn. And then I was going to get a room at a hotel for the night. We can do it there." Because that's what hotels were for, right? One-night stands?
He then proceeds to eat his ramen a little too fast, gagging on it half a dozen times in his rush. He could explain it away as being his hot meal in forever--which it was--and totally not because he was eager to get his guts fucked in--and from what he remembered of Shino's size, that shouldn't be too hard.
Sasuke's visible mix of confusion and frustration over the concept of reciprocating has Shino wonder about the Uchiha's previous experiences. It really shouldn't be confusing! Nor would reciprocating mean anything other than just fun sex. Now, it's clear to Shino that Sasuke only ever brought sex and has treated their previous experience the same as a transaction with a prostitute.
"Last time, you accepted my advances and came with a fun idea. The whipped cream was a nice addition... I also did not know what to expect from you." He had spent most of the time working hard on getting any kind of reaction from Sasuke only to have him say his name out of distress to stop at the end. Most people Shino has had sex with in the past didn't have an issue with participation.
"Well..." Shino raises a brow at Sasuke. He's done it, now. Sasuke is angry. He'll keep his calm, there would be no use in snapping back, however strange this whole situation is. "You can grab me." Shino accentuates his points with his fingers. "Scratch me if you'd like. Move your hips to the rhythm, definitely. Say my name - this is always nice. Take or ask what you want from me - I'm not opposed to cooperation. Hm..." Shino contemplates some more. "This is about it. I've told you the basics. Usually, it comes naturally. This is how sex should be. Fun and, to a healthy amount, mindless." How odd. It's his first time dealing with a starfish man.
"Because I thought I was texting Sakura," Sasuke deadpans. Besides, the whipped cream hadn't been his idea. One of the ladies of the night suggested it, saying it was bound to get his old teammate's attention. And, it did end up getting attention, just not from the person Sasuke wanted. In fact, he ended up sending that text again, correctly to Sakura, but never heard back. So, he was beginning to think that whipped cream wasn't a good opening.
Back to the conversation, Sasuke frowns as Shino lectures him. Or that's how the Uchiha took it as Shino spoke to him like one of his snot-nosed students. "I'm not going to say your name," Sasuke says, as if that was the one thing he took out of all of that. Because it was. And as if he didn't say Shino's name last time, but he was trying not to think about that. He was lost in the moment. He didn't mean to.
"I know how to have sex," He had had lots of sex. It wasn't his fault; he and Shino just didn't like the same sex. "You said mindless. So, just... do what you did last time." Sasuke almost stomps his foot like a tantruming teenage girl when saying that. He was just frustrated! Why couldn't Shino just bend him over and take him? And no, Sasuke wasn't going to think too hard about wanting another man to bend him over and fuck him like their step-sister stuck in a dryer.
// i'm sorry this is trash
Itachi is watching Deidara, who starts looking a little concerned. Itachi doesn't know why, unless the pain has gotten worse and Deidara is trying to hide it or just trying to get through it. That would be like Deidara, maybe, Itachi thinks, so he keeps still until Deidara gives him some kind of signal that the pain has eased, and Itachi won't make it worse by moving.
It still feels good though, especially when Deidara leans in a bit, puts his hands over Itachi's, and rolls his hips faster. Itachi's moan is drowned out by Deidara's shout of 'fuck.' But he's right. It does feel good, and when Deidara really starting riding Itachi, bouncing on his cock, Itachi knows Deidara is not in much pain anymore. And that's good, because Itachi's having a hard time controlling himself.
So after a few seconds of this, Itachi gasps out, "Deidara!" gripping Deidara's hands right back as Itachi's hips buck up to meet his next bounce, his cock sinking deeper inside Deidara than before -- and again, and again. Itachi's gazing at him too, even if Deidara's isn't watching, all lust and affection.
'Why are you making this so complicated?'
The question resonates familiarity. He's been asked that before in his past relationship except the subject was more about romance than sex, though it still leaves a bitter taste. Shino was always one to be direct and as precise as possible... Except sometimes. Some situations are harder for him to navigate and... Shino frowns.
He tried a different approach and it backfired. He knows what Sasuke wants and- Wait. The Aburame's attention snaps back to Sasuke, brows raised with a newfound hope. "Yes? You want it?" Shino knew that but it's different when one hears it!
"Sorry. You're right, I did know that, but... I knew through hints more than concrete proof." Concrete proof is always better than hints. The Aburame sighs, resigned to... Not making this complicated. He'll be forward now, no more eggshells to walk around of and if it breaks, it breaks.
"Sasuke. I am no comfortable with our deal being a transaction where you lay down and I silently take what I please from you. Why? Because the main reasons why I like sex is the reciprocation, attention and equal fun I get to have with the person. I attempted something else earlier because I'm afraid I might not be able to get it up... If you act like a doll for me to take." Shino looks at Sasuke then.
"I'm willing to have sex with you if you fully participate. I understand that it might not be your rhythm so if you refuse, I'll still take care of your termite problem like I initially intended."
Shino was prattling again, and Sasuke frowns. What was the Aburame not understanding? "Transaction". Wasn't that what sex was? At least, it Sasuke's experience since he'd only had sexual encounters with prostitutes. Sad, yes, but it made it easier. There was no courting involved, or feelings, or... this. Just money exchanging hands. And, he didn't have to do anything on his end as the lady of the night would take care of him. And they were good at it, too.
"You did not have an issue doing that last time," Sasuke blurts out. Because it was true. Why did Shino, all of a sudden, want Sasuke to reciprocate now? Why couldn't he just be happy with the fact that Sasuke was offering to have sex with him again? Sasuke didn't know how to reciprocate! He never had to before. And he liked it like that. He didn't have to think, didn't have to do, he just... meh! It was so frustrating. Sasuke was frustrated now.
Just his luck, he had to choose the one person who wanted to treat sex like a relationship. And if Sasuke was good at relationships, he wouldn't have to fall back on liquid courage to navigate basic conversations or pay for sex.
"What do you want me to do?" Sasuke asks--more like snaps--throwing his hand up in dramatic fashion, only to grab his unbuckled pants as they fall down to his knees.
ooh don't look under the cut~
Itachi watches for Deidara's reaction, and he can see Deidara's eyes watering. Obviously, it's painful, too painful for them to keep going at this rate. Itachi has to urge to soothe him, though it's counterintuitive to his facade. Eventually, though, seeing that tear run down Deidara's cheek, Itachi gives in to his instincts, and his fingers stroke up and down a small spot on Deidara's arm, as Deidara takes slow, deep breaths.
It feels good for Itachi already -- Deidara is hot and wet and tight around him. But Itachi is more concerned about Deidara, and is relieved when he seems to have enough relief to move his hips.
The steady rocking of Deidara's hips, though slow, is electric for Itachi, who hasn't experienced this in... well, real life. Every movement sends little thrills of pleasure through him, and Itachi's breathing quickens. He's forcing himself not to move his hips up against Deidara, worried it'll hurt him, but the result is the rest of him moves, a shiver going down his spine, and he groans softly.
@reddawndistrict continuing from this.
Well, so far he seemed okay with things, but here comes the hard part...
"Ah um yes well... My experiment involves you. Having intercourse with me. With your sharingan active..." She told him. "The reason? I want test chakra levels and see if sex plays a role in it." Not the most scientific of explanations, but it was the best she was going to give. She did not want him to know her more-... deeper reasons...
Sasuke stared at Karin for a very, very long time without blinking. Sex with his Sharingan on...? Test chakra levels and see if sex plays a role...? Sasuke thought himself a very intelligent person, and that made zero sense to him.
Finally, after a long, long and awkward moment of silence, Sasuke let out an exasperated sigh. "Karin. If you want me to have sex with you with my Sharingan on, you can just ask." And not make up a lame lie like that. Seriously, asking to have sex was a lot less embarrassing than saying it was "for science".
When Sasuke didn't budge after his first and second nudge, he knew something was wrong. Indeed, everything was wrong. Shino let his hand fall to his side, expression going blank as a shiver of regret goes down his spine. Regret and mortification. So much mortification that he misses half of what Sasuke says - he hears it, he knows he's being berated, but his first instinct was to space out.
He shouldn't be spacing out, though. However uncomfortable the situation is, he needs to listen. So, Shino blinks and takes a sharp inhale as Sasuke gets to his second point. It seems that everything that pleases him does not please Sasuke. In fact, every single thing that usually pleases others, from his past experiences, does not please Sasuke.
Shino feels the heat rise in his face and can't resist the uncomfortable twist of his mouth, completely breaking his stone facade. This definitely takes a high place in the rank of his most embarrassing moments and Sasuke doesn't need to tell him twice; Shino turns on his heels and exits the room, softly closing the door behind him. As soon as he's out of the Uchiha's sight, he can't help a sharp inhale, followed by a few shakes of his hands - as if he just touched something slimy.
One more chance... How can he even - his mind is a mess and his head feels hot. Shino hurries to the bathroom, takes his sunglasses off and splash some cold water in his face to cool down. Whatever Sasuke is doing - Shino isn't sure why he's trying to help this guy anymore. It's worse than a game of shogi against Shikamaru! Way worse! And Sasuke wants him to come back in the room and talk better... What is he even supposed to say? If he tries to be sexy, it goes wrong. If he tries to speak normally, Sasuke gives him an annoyed look.
There's the dinosaurs, Sasuke likes dinosaurs, but... This is supposed to be a team effort and no effort is being done for him. Time passes by without Shino noticing as he focuses on the sound of the water, an elbow leaned on the side of the sink, head ducked down with a hand covering his eyes.
It's all so conflicting; Sasuke came back to him for sex, however the Uchiha likes to disguise his motives as, and yet... Navigating the subject feels like walking around eggshells, except there are sharp pins inbetween those eggshells and he's been walking on every single one of them.
After what felt like ten minutes, Shino dries his face and puts his sunglasses on. One more chance... He might as well blow it right there, at least he'll get to meet a large termite colony after. So, the Aburame returns to the room, opens the door, walks in.
Stands there. Waits. Blankly looking at Sasuke. Ah, right, no staring... He turns his head to look like he's staring at the ground.
"I'm at a loss on how to act." He eventually admits, "Or what words to use, what tone and... Well... I am awkward, and I must apologize, because I did not mean to make you feel this way, earlier." Shino adjusts his sunglasses, "And... This is why I need you to tell me what you'd like me to do..."
This is the most unsexy talk! Shino is half expecting Sasuke to kick him out of his own house.
Once Shino left the bedroom and shut the door, Sasuke let out a breath. What the fuck was that? He never expected Shino to speak like that. Nonetheless, to him. Though he'd heard through the grapevine that the Aburame was a bit of a horndog. And experiencing that, it was a question of how he got laid at all. Not that Sasuke was one to talk. But that's why he had to pay for sex. Money was an universal language everyone understood.
He expected Shino to leave, take a second or two and walk back in. But when one minute passed, and then two, and then three--Sasuke questioned if he had just left. Did Shino ditch him? In his own home? Sasuke gave it a minute more before he reckoned Shino had, in fact, left. Well... this was awkward. He didn't know what to do now. Get dressed and leave?
And that's exactly what Sasuke was doing, tugging his pants on when Shino suddenly barged back into the bedroom, not saying a thing. Just... standing there. Staring. Sasuke feels a shiver run up his spine. Ugh, he hates people staring at him. Thankfully, Shino must've remembered this and looks away. Then, dribbles out an apology. And this time, Sasuke stares at him. Because what else is he to do when listening to that?
He didn't have to tell him he was awkward, because Sasuke had figured out a long time ago. As for not knowing what to say... not saying whatever that was before was a definite start.
"What are you talking about? You know what I want," Sasuke says, incredulously. Did Shino forget? Did he have to remind him of their deal? Or spell it out for the Aburame? "Why are you making this so complicated? It's just sex." Maybe that's where there had been a loss in communication.
Because to Sasuke, sex was just sex. And sex was as basic as it got. You just did it. He didn't understand why Shino thought he had to persuade him with dirty talk--or an attempt at dirty talk. All he had to do was take off his clothes.
Naruto hands Itachi a bouquet of red daffodils. "Here! I uh, I saw these and they made me think of you-! Er-! Your sharingan! Yeah, you're sharingan is red ya know?"
"Oh. Thank you, Naruto-kun." Itachi accepted the beautiful bouquet, making a mental note to put it in a vase of water, far, far away from his chickens. Daffodils were poisonous to chickens, and he didn't want any of his hens accidentally eating them and getting sick.
"I never claimed that the insect I was looking for was sexy... Though I must admit, Pheromosa does have interestingly feminine shapes." Truthfully, meeting this creature felt otherwordly and Shino is starting to wonder if he hallucinated the whole thing or not. Plus, he has no idea if it's a female or not.
Deidara choking and blowing his nose in a napkin throws Shino back to the time where they had a misunderstanding and Deidara had decided to sneeze in his face. It was rude, it made him sick afterwards and the conflict still doesn't make sense to him... But he's glad they left it behind.
"Offer me..?" Shino raises a brow. Does Deidara think that sex only goes one way? Actually, now that he thinks about it, the other man always acted rather squeamish about the subject - outside of books and comics. Either he's inexperienced, or he's a virgin. Shino glances at his own glass of water, taking a moment to think. He was never one to care much about society's constructs, there would be no reason to start now. So, if Deidara really is a virgin... Well, he has no problem with that. He'll be gentle.
"I was thinking of partaking in the complete experience with you. We'd both be offering one another. It's like... Teamwork." Shino looks back at Deidara. "One filled with pleasurable sensations." He's not sure why the other would claim to not have much to offer, it makes little sense. "What do you say?"
Pheromosa? That is what it was called? Deidara's dumb names were better than that dumb name. And Shino said it wasn't sexy, yet in the same sentence, described it--her?--as having "interestingly female shapes". Ok, buddy, sure. Maybe next time he met up with Sasori, he'd ask him if he had heard of this "Pheromosa". If there was anyone who could find anyone, it was Sasori. And this bug lady... thing was guaranteed to get his partner's attention.
As Shino questioned his offer, Deidara immediately regretted saying a thing. Even if Shino did offer first. Was it because of what he implied with the blowjob? It was just a joke! He wasn't going to use his extra mouths. He should've known that any sane person wouldn't be into that. Hell, even Sasori found his mouths nasty, and Sasori was into a lot nastier things than that.
"I--" Deidara was beginning to say, but paused when Shino first. And what he said effectively baffled the blonde. Teamwork? One filled with pleasurable sensations? Wha... what was he talking about? That sounded like a line from a very bad smut book. In fact, he was half-sure he remembered reading that exact line in one of the Icha-Icha books. If he weren't so dumbfounded, he might have laughed. It was a good thing he didn't, but Shino was serious. And that's what frightened him.
Because Deidara had gone through this before Shino, and it ended the same way each and every time. It started with a man hitting him up. He'd say 95% backed off once realizing he wasn't a woman. The last 5% stayed because they were actually into men. But then, Deidara had to explain that yes--he was a man, but not a biological man--and they left, too. Some nicer than others.
Did he think Shino was any different? No, no he did not. But, that was nothing towards Shino himself. It was just that Deidara didn't believe there was a man on this earth who was different. He had encountered a lot of men, matching Sasori's body count, both in bed and on the battlefield, and it was the same over and over and over--
Anyway, it was best to get this part over with. Like yanking off a bandage.
So, Deidara lets out a grand sigh. "I wasn't born a man--" Fuck, he hated having to tell people that. It also made his stomach twist. And just as his bowl of ramen was placed in front of him, too. He may've gotten a weird look from the chef, too. "That's why I offered to suck you off, hn. So you didn't have to touch me. I mean... I still can. I won't use my hands either, if you're not into that. If you want..." Ugh, that sounded like he was begging. But, he wasn't. Not really. Maybe... He was so bad at this. No wonder Sasori kept trying to mentor him.
Shino didn't clean a single dish. Instead, he put the food away, hid the dishes under the sink and ran to his bedroom where a certain collection is... Dirty comics. How embarrassing, never in his life has he felt the need to search for inspiration in order to get in the mood for sex. Usually, he's always in the mood! But also, usually, his partner gives him the nice attention he needs!
Hands clammy, Shino flips through the pages to find the right panels, the lewdest ones. It's alright. It's fine. This is hot, Sasuke is also hot and right now, the Uchiha is naked and wet in the shower. It will be like a challenge, much like last time. If he can get the Uchiha to touch him or moan his name, or both! He'll be happy. Simple; Shino just needs to blow his mind.
... Not simple at all.
Maybe he should change clothes again - the ones he chose had no effect on Sasuke. Perhaps something more... Lewd and slutty. Does he even own such clothes? As he glances up to his wardrobe, Shino catches sight of himself in his bedroom mirror and instantly deflates. He's... Ugly. He feels ugly. Clothes aren't going to change anything... He should just get naked once they get down to it.
The sound of the shower stops and the time between the silence and the sound of the bathroom's door opening hints on Sasuke's current state; no or little clothes. Shino scrambles to put the four dirty comic books back to their hiding, find the lube, condoms and walk out with a fake confidence.
Standing in the door frame, Shino clears his throat. "Naked already? Hm." He leans a shoulder against the frame in a horrible attempt at appearing sexy. Shino adjusts his sunglasses, bites the corner of his lower lip and makes a show of looking Sasuke up and down. Frankly, he likes what he's seeing. Except... He's already at a loss.
What is he supposed to say, now? Maybe...
"You'd look even better on your knees, sucking me off." Too far? Yeah... Probably... To save it, Shino walks closer - as seductively as he can. Which is totally normally. Shino is not good at being seductive. Then, once he's close enough, he presses two fingers against Sasuke's chest to lightly push him on the bed behind him. "Too bad it's not part of the deal."
Sasuke didn't notice Shino standing in the doorframe, but was pleased it meant he didn't have to go hunting for the Aburame. That is, until he spoke. At first, Sasuke was befuddled because, obviously, he was naked. He just got out of the shower. Did Shino expect him to be dressed? What was the point when he had to take his clothes back off? He may've excused that as Shino being Shino. But then, he just had to keep talking, and what he said next instantly dashed the Uchiha's "good" mood. It didn't just dash it, it massacred it--excuse the pun. It was like having ice water dumped on you.
Especially as Shino walks up on him (like he had a stick stuck on his butt, mind you), and tried--tried--pushing him back into the bed. But Sasuke resisted his attempt. And to Sasuke's credit, he didn't slap Shino's hand away--as he should have. Instead, he very calmly and coldly pushes the other man's hand down from his chest, eyes narrowed and Rinnegan contracting behind the fringe of his hair.
"First off: you are not to speak to me like that," Sasuke says. "I'm not a lady of the night you hired to get your jollies off. And I do not appreciate being treated as one. Second: I did not give you permission to touch me yet." If Shino had just walked in without all that, then Sasuke wouldn't have minded it. But now, he'd gone from a cheerful mood to--he didn't want to say angry, but it was bordering on that. Disgruntled, we'll say. Grumpy, even.
"Now, I'm giving you one chance to walk out and come back in to speak to me like an adult." If Shino tried doubling down, then not only would Sasuke walk out, but they'd never do this again. Nonetheless, speak again.
The fact that Sasuke was giving him a second chance was very generous on his part. He wasn't even asking him apologize to him, either. Maybe because he was giving the Aburame the benefit of the doubt. He must've gotten such a dimwitted idea from Naruto. Or he'd been reading that dribble Icha-Icha like Kakashi did. Either or.
The mood shift after Shino brought the subject back to their deal was extremely obvious and Sasuke's overall demeanor told him that his doubts were probably right... Sasuke does seem to find him disgusting and his claim was not rebuked. The dry refusal for kissing doesn't bother him, it's something that had been clear the first time and hasn't changed now. But... Everything else...
"That's okay." Shino suddenly wishes he had kept the subject about dinosaurs. It wasn't so difficult, last time... Mostly because it happened rather fast and everything was new; Shino had no idea how Sasuke behaved in the bedroom. It was also not a transaction. Sure, this isn't really a transaction because Sasuke has indirectly talked him into it - it's a desire hidden through a self hate that Shino thought he could help soothe... He's trying not to regret, he even groomed himself to the best of his abilities for the occasion.
Shino has been worrying so much that now he even worries if he'll be able to get hard at all. Sasuke is very attractive, one of the most attractive men he's met but looks aren't all there is to it. Being looked at, touched, praised, appreciated... Everything that Sasuke doesn't do are reasons why Shino usually has sex for. Under the table, Shino smooths his palms over his knees. He may seem smug and confident from the outside but in reality, he never was.
"You go shower and I'll-" Shino stops himself short. 'And I'll try to get myself in the mood', is what he'd like to say, were it not so incredibly rude and disrespectful. "I'll clean up here."
"Ok," Sasuke says, shrugging and getting up to do just that. Maybe it was rude not to offer to help clean the dishes, but he didn't think of that as he walked towards the bathroom to wash off. He didn't even say "thank you". To say his social skills weren't the best would be the understatement of the century.
Unlike last night, he didn't spend an hour in the shower and use up all of Shino's hot water. Instead, he just scrubs himself down with soap and water and cleans his hair. It takes fifteen minutes maximum. Only because he had a single arm, but he learned how to navigate with it pretty well by now.
Once he's done, he gets out and, upon drying himself off, finds himself in an oddly... lighthearted mood. Lighter than how he felt last night upon entering Shino's home. That dread and foreboding pleasantly absent. And all it took was a single conversation on the one thing Sasuke was interested in. Did that mean he was looking forward to having sex with Shino again? He didn't know. And truthfully, he tried not to think about it. Because Sasuke knew himself, and knew if he thought too hard about a subject, negative emotions tended to glue themselves to it. Even to things he harboured no ill-will towards. So, for once, best not think about it and just 'go with the flow'--as Naruto liked to say.
Sasuke decided against getting dressed again since he'd just have to take his clothes off again. So, towel tied around his waist, he takes his clothes to the spare room to neatly fold them until he leaves. Though, now he thought about it, where the hell were they doing this? And where was Shino?
Karin cleared her throat, trying her hardest not to blush. "Sasuke, I need your help with an- experiment."
Oh no. An experiment? Was it going to be like that experiment when Kain wanted to know if the Sharingan functioned in water? The answer was yes, but Sasuke's eyes burned for a solid day afterwards.
"...ok?"
laughing with and at cute kisame assdfh
"I didn't know what else to do..." Sad Kisame noises.
As Itachi speaks, Kisame does little more than blink, staring at him. Itachi thinks it's part surprise, part confusion, but he's not certain. The lack of a reaction has Itachi paling slightly in his worry that he's said something horribly wrong and revolting. So Itachi does not expect the first words out of Kisame's mouth.
Erections are perfectly normal.
What? And Kisame is sorry? "I'm not upset," Itachi corrects quickly. His cheeks redden again as he adds, "It was nice."
At Kisame's question, though, Itachi deliberates. He doesn't want Kisame to just hold him. Truth be told, he wants much more than that. But also, he doesn't want to make Kisame more uncomfortable by coming onto him forcefully. And there's the fact that he shouldn't be making connections as he's going to let Sasuke kill him soon.
But maybe Kisame already cares. And what if Kisame feels the same way? Itachi could ask.
He looks up at Kisame calmly, despite the blush in his cheeks. "If you are also attracted to me, may I ask you a favor?" he begins. "Will you kiss me? Or let me kiss you?"
Itachi could've asked Kisame literally anything else--imagine a new colour, whether he believes in aliens, or even what his political position was. But never--never!--would Kisame have imagined Itachi asking him to... kiss. It successfully fried the ningyo's brain as he dumbly stares at Itachi... again. He didn't know what to say to that. Kissing wasn't exactly a ningyo thing. But, was it bad that he wanted to say yes? Yes, yes it should be. But, it looked like Itachi wanted to kiss him? He didn't know what to think about that. So, he did the only thing he could think of--and that was laughing.
He wasn't laughing at Itachi, though. No, it was just his knee-jerk reaction to situations he had no immediate solution to. He quickly stops before the Uchiha gets offended or upset, clearing his throat. He didn't want Itachi to think he was making fun of him, because he wasn't.
"I, uhhh... I can't say I'm very good kisser, Mr. Itachi." He jokes, because that's all he can do in the moment. It was that or running, which was odd because, when it came to Kisame's fight-or-flight instinct, he had never experienced the flight option. Yet, he wanted to run away from a little kiss! Ha!
