[ 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.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He pauses, thinking for a few seconds.

And then reattaches his arm before letting go of Izumu's wrists completely.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

Hah?

[ that wasn't what he expected, and he makes a blatantly confused noise at this development. but he still takes the opportunity to sit up again, drawing his arms back towards himself and rubbing at ghost wrists. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Pushes him back down when he tries to sit up. Looks like the arm is still working, so the shove still has some oomph.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ he pushes back against the arm, like he's trying to sit up again, but against a Harder They Fall'd metal arm, he is likely on the losing side of the struggle. ]

Decided one arm wasn't enough for you?

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He keeps up the pressure for a few moments more, leaning in over the arm]

Winning at courting means you choose to stay.

So.

[And he lets go of the pressure completely.]

Make a choice.

1/3

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ when the pressure disappears, he just stares at Intensity dumbly for a moment.

then he laughs under his breath. laughs and laughs and laughs— ]

Gyahahahaha... haha! ... Ooh, clever.

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ ... ]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ and after a few moments, he flops back down against the grass, maintaining eye contact with Intensity. ]

But you knew there was only one option for me.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[With a self-satisfied smirk:]

Of course I knew.

I don't make losing plays.

[He cups Izumu's face in both of his hands this time, tilting it back so he can lean in for a very very indulgent kiss.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ the feedback from the objective kicks in at about the same time Intensity leans in for the kiss, earning a full-body shiver.

Izumu kisses back much more aggressively this time around, threading one newly freed hands in Intensity's hair, and using the other to try and tug his body closer. ]

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He laughs against Izumu's mouth, sinking easily into the embrace as he pressed himself closer to him.

Yes. Just.

like.

that.

New contest! Let's see who has to pull away first as Intensity proceeds to kiss him breathless.]

[carnivorouscarnival]

[ Izumu doesn't seem interested in ending the kiss anytime soon, but in this case, that seems more out of genuine enthusiasm than stubborn competitiveness.

but after a long, long kiss, he will eventually turn his head for air when he starts to feel a little light-headed. and he starts giggling uncontrollably at another dopamine hit. ]
