[He laughs into the kiss, Izumu's positive feedback emboldening him to press deeper into the kiss.

And all the while, trailing his remaining hand up and down those bound arms and hands.

It's unlikely this trick will ever work on Izumu ever again, so he has to make it count]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ the long-sleeved goth coat he's wearing is bulky enough that he doesn't react too strongly to the touch on his arms, but when Intensity's hand travels all the way up to trace his bound hands, he gasps into the kiss, losing a little ground. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He chuckles at that reaction. Yes. Good.

And between his own pauses for air or to adjust his angle so he can apply more teeth:]

Tell me I've won and that you've lost.

You're supposed to admit to your defeat.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ that makes him flush a deeper red than the kiss itself, and he flits through several expressions before landing on a glare that doesn't have all his heart in it. ]

Says who?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Well I was going to say me, but that flush on your face says it all.

Get your dopamine hit?

[And another chuckle]

But I bet we can do better than that.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ it wasn't actually the dopamine that time, but he can pretend it was. ]

Hah! How many times do you think you can trip the same objective?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[A grin that's all teeth]

The rules say 10 times.

Unless you're saving a few for someone else.

[carnivorouscarnival]

Someone else...? As if I'd lose to two people in the same day. There's no chance.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So you are admitting defeat to me?

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ silence stretches for a few seconds.

but after some sort of internal debate, perhaps, he looks Intensity in the eyes again, more composed. ]

Yes.

Congratulations.

1/2

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Oh.

Oh no.






He wasn't supposed to actually say it.

Now who's turn is it to be flustered]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Better cover it up with his usual bout of 90s cartoon villain laughter as he catches Izumu's chin in his hand.]

You were only delaying the inevitable.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ unfortunately for Intensity, he still catches that fleeting flustered expression—and he snorts a laugh, relaxing, even as Intensity grips his chin. ]

You're cute, Ten.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[ Hush, you.

And while S U L K I N G:]

Am not.

My brand of victory isn't cute. You already have the monopoly on that.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ smug: ]

I am pretty cute, huh? You lucky bastard.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You win your little contest?

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ it takes him a second to connect the dots, but he snorts a laugh when he does. ]

'Course I did. My opponent was Dia, after all.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

So second cutest. Third if we're counting Red.

[Brushes his lips up Izumu's jaw]

Room for improvement.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he hums, tiling his head back a little to expose more of his jaw. ]

Hmmm. Think you can draw out my cute side?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I'll bring you flowers next time.

[Perish with grace]

Is that what you wanted? To be properly courted?

[carnivorouscarnival]

I don't know about properly... but I'm always interested to see what your idea of "courting" of me is.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Being better than the competition in every conceivable way. I thought that was obvious.

[carnivorouscarnival]

And if there's no competition? Wouldn't be satisfied with winning by default, would you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

There's no such thing as no competition. Even if it means the person I'm defeating is you.

Or maybe especially if that is the case.

[carnivorouscarnival]

... Mmm.

Do your best to defeat me, then.
