TDM #4
Welcome! Everything is fine.
Uploading. . . Complete!
The Lobby.
- When you open your eyes, there is quite a lot of beige to take in. The unassuming walls of the room you've found yourself in are barren save for a single motivational poster directly in your line of sight. An illuminated sign above an open door on the far wall reads 'lobby exit.'
"Welcome," chimes a polite, synthesized voice. "I'm happy you're here." A moment later comes the clarity of the situation: you have died and so has the world you came from. "This is Amani, your new reality," continues The Peacekeeper. "Everything will be fine."
At least you aren't the only one here, you'll soon find out, as others who are just as confused and concerned as you are mingling on the main hub's first floor. Hopefully, you find a familiar face among the crowd. If not, that's all right. You'll get to know quite a few people very well soon enough.
- If you're one of the unlucky few whose death required a bit more intensive re-coding to maintain stability in the simulation, you'll instead awaken on a bed in the infirmary. Everything is strikingly white save for the occasional string of vines with lavender growing in bursts to help keep people calm. Whether or not it works seems to be on a case-by-case basis.
While there is no active medical staff, the voice of The Peacekeeper is there to explain the situation in a more delicate manner to these individuals. It's already stressful enough having to have gone through such a violent death, after all!
If characters want more questions answered, they'll need to speak to The Peacekeeper directly. But first, it will encourage socialization in the main hub and hopefully, you'll find someone you recognize to make taking things in a little easier.

WELCOME
Throughout the main hub where everyone congregates, a light chiming echoes through the first floor. "Hello, everyone," comes the synthetic voice from when you first arrived. "Please, watch your step since there's quite a few puddles around. If you'd like, there is cake, some refreshments, and some eggs for you in these trying times. If they feel warmer than usual, that's because they're going to hatch soon!"
While the Peacekeeper doesn't elaborate, as usual, simulation inhabitants are free to notice the eggs that either they gathered or are still littering the simulation are now warm to the touch, give off a faint glow, and may even move subtly now and again if watched.
Dark, ominous clouds begin to gather over every piece of sky in the simulation and before long blot out the sun. Sheets of rain begin to pour down almost without warning. Hopefully, you've managed to fix those leaks in your house! Or maybe you're finding new ones...
Lightning splits the sky with a dramatic crackle and thunder booms not long after it. The wind howls and the worst of the storm won't relent for a few hours at the least. Even after, the rain will linger for days on and off to varying degrees of severity.
While the weather has taken a turn for the gloomy, that doesn't mean that simulation inhabitants have to be! In fact, it may feel somewhat refreshing as if the rain is washing away any negativity lingering after The Overseer's masquerade. Whether by her design or not, she - nor The Peacekeeper - will say but it does seem that she wants to keep relations as peaceful between the simulation inhabitants and creators as she can.
Of course, your buckets might not just be catching water. With the rising water levels, the fish that inhabit the simulation's waters are just as confused as anyone else. Even more confusing is the glitch causing them to transform once they find themselves on solid (mostly) ground.
Thankfully, they don't change into anything harmful. Well, maybe to your teeth since an abundance of sweet treats is bound to cause a cavity or two... Not to mention the other odd effects that food here is known to have.
If the party and its cake don't appeal to you, that's perfectly fine. This is the perfect time to configure your Digitized Technical Friend or your DTF status. A DTF is similar to a dæmon from His Dark Materials in that it is connected to and a reflection of a character's soul. These DTFs take shape accordingly and are projections similar to the NPCs. Think of them as your own personal Clippy except less annoying. Hopefully.
Once that's set-up, there are other locations of the main hub to investigate! You can still find an (off-key) instrument to play in the music lounge or check out the (algae-ridden) pool.
You can even visit The Peacekeeper themselves on the second floor. They're always happy to have visitors! They're also conveniently where you might place a complaint about that status of the main hub and its amenities.

APRIL SHOWERS
Granted, there are bigger things to worry about such as the storm that's rolling in.Dark, ominous clouds begin to gather over every piece of sky in the simulation and before long blot out the sun. Sheets of rain begin to pour down almost without warning. Hopefully, you've managed to fix those leaks in your house! Or maybe you're finding new ones...
Lightning splits the sky with a dramatic crackle and thunder booms not long after it. The wind howls and the worst of the storm won't relent for a few hours at the least. Even after, the rain will linger for days on and off to varying degrees of severity.

Whether by her design or not, she - nor The Peacekeeper - will say but it does seem that she wants to keep relations as peaceful between the simulation inhabitants and creators as she can.
ONE FISH, TWO FISH...
The constant rain brings water levels of the rivers and eddies up at an alarming rate. Flooding is inevitable and, hopefully, the place you've claimed as your own isn't in the way. If it is, you might want to get the buckets ready or consider a relocation!Of course, your buckets might not just be catching water. With the rising water levels, the fish that inhabit the simulation's waters are just as confused as anyone else. Even more confusing is the glitch causing them to transform once they find themselves on solid (mostly) ground.
Thankfully, they don't change into anything harmful. Well, maybe to your teeth since an abundance of sweet treats is bound to cause a cavity or two... Not to mention the other odd effects that food here is known to have.
- ★ Taiyaki » Despite having just jumped out of the chilly waters, these tasty treats will be warm to the touch and generate steam. After biting into one, you'll radiate warmth no matter what for a brief period of time. Being a walking furnace sure is nice with this damp, cold atmosphere... Maybe you'll find a friend or two to huddle up with and keep warm.
★ Swedish Fish » Eating one of these stretchy, gummy candies will increase your flexibility. Literally and metaphorically! It might be easier to be convinced to do something you wouldn't have before and now you can bend just the right way to make it extra fun.
★ Hard Fish Candy » These tart candies will render someone unable to speak until it completely dissolves. This can take a while, too, since they seem to be persistantly stuck to the roof of your mouth! Yet, don't underestimate the power of body language to speak your mind.
★ Chocolate Sardines » Eating one of these rich bite-sized treats will make you sweeter. No, really! Candy kisses isn't just an expression after eating these fish. You taste delicious. Maybe too delicious... Be careful! Once someone gets a taste of you, they might not want to stop anytime soon.
WHAT'S YOUR DTF STATUS?
If the party and its cake don't appeal to you, that's perfectly fine. This is the perfect time to configure your Digitized Technical Friend or your DTF status. A DTF is similar to a dæmon from His Dark Materials in that it is connected to and a reflection of a character's soul. These DTFs take shape accordingly and are projections similar to the NPCs. Think of them as your own personal Clippy except less annoying. Hopefully.

You can even visit The Peacekeeper themselves on the second floor. They're always happy to have visitors! They're also conveniently where you might place a complaint about that status of the main hub and its amenities.
RAINING CATS AND DOGS
While the fishy foods are odd enough as is, another glitch appears to be occurring throughout the simulation but this time originates not from the rain but The Peacekeeper's humble musings. "Did you know," speaks the resident AI, "that there is an expression called 'raining cats and dogs'? I think that's such a curious saying! It made me wonder what it might actually look like..."
Following the strange, unexpected 'announcement,' inhabitants may begin to notice large globs of water falling periodically from the sky now amidst the regular rain. When they hit the ground with a large splash, nothing is there... at first. The water will burst apart only to reassemble into a canine or feline friend. Well, it's shaped like a dog or a cat.
Due to the sudden nature of their spawning though, some things aren't quite right. Perhaps that cat has only three legs instead of four; a dog may be missing an eye, an ear, or even its tail. And those are the more tame oddities! While the unique animals aren't overly abundant there are still a good number that spawn across the days of rain. Don't be surprised if a dog takes up shelter from the storm on your porch or you come home to a cat you don't own having climbed through a loose window.
While this might be exactly the addition to your home that you wanted, it doesn't change the leaky roof or broken window in your new place. Or, unfortunately, the fact that there's no extra space for a pet yet. No, unfortunately that will still need to be fixed the peaceful way. If you'd like more lighting or even cozier clothes, simulation inhabitants are reminded that 'peaceful interactions' are very important!
It might be a good idea to stick close to someone you know, for now, since even the smallest amounts of intimacy might see subtle changes occurring where they're staying. Perhaps that broken window is now fixed, the grime and dust seem a little less, or the floor doesn't creak quite as loud.
Larger changes, however, will only come after demonstrating the more powerful peaceful interactions. If you want new hardwood floors or a fresh coat of paint on the walls, you're going to have to demonstrate how well you 'get along' with others against them first.

SEEING PINK
ear the end of the week, the rain finally relents and temperatures continue to gradually increase. Those May flowers can't quite seem to wait though since several of the trees lining the edge of the forest bloom brilliant pink blossoms that a DTF will be able to identify as love blossoms. While the blooms won't last very long, they certainly are using all the time they have to take over.
The pollen is one thing. It may start out as just a tickle in your nose or stuffy head but eventually turns into something much more lovely. You're tickled pink about almost everything, it seems, and want to share that happiness with others. And who needs rose-colored glasses when almost everywhere one looks there's a string of love blossoms blooming?
These invasive flowers are in your garden, along the vines in the city, and even sprawling through the main hub! It actually seems almost impossible to avoid them. The Peacekeeper assures inhabitants that it isn't purposeful and just the natural cycle of the love blossoms.
Enjoy the mood-lifting and groin-tingling effects while they last! The love blossoms will only linger for a few days, at most, before receding back to the forest line and eventually falling dormant again until next spring.

NAVIGATION
he didn't mean it 😔
it's suddenly as if he's thrown back in time, standing in a lobby that smells of sweat and salonpas, and being snapped at by oikawa; a smear of teal and white, of purple and white, the loaded feeling of knowing a win is secured ( until it isn't, but even ushijima knows he is not infallible ). even after all this time has passed, oikawa is still oikawa. the outburst is somehow both expected and unexpected and for a few moments all ushijima can do is stand there and attempt to process why oikawa is so offended over a compliment.
he doesn't even want to approach the whole question about dating him. that's not something he's understanding whatsoever and how oikawa got there from what ushijima said... well, he's not sure he's ever going to get that.
nevermind that it is one hundred percent his fault.
he's also just going to ignore the part about the cake and blindly ingesting aphrodisiacs. there should be signs posted about that kind of thing so people don't make awkward mistakes. that he's feeling a little hot beneath his collar is his own business and he'll deal with it later, alone. right now, after everything he has retained about this place and the heavy burden of it, after seeing a familiar face and realizing what that means, and attempting to figure out how to, once again, navigate conversations with oikawa... that's kind of taking all of his brain capacity. sex really isn't figuring itself it right now. )
It was never an insult. ( brows furrowed and lips tensed slightly; this isn't the first conversation he wanted to have post-death... and yet. ) Your talent is great and I felt it would have been utilized far better at Shiratorizawa.
( another pause, he wets his lips and shifts his stance. )
I was very headstrong in my beliefs and did not consider many things back then. ( a slight tip of his head. ) I apologize.
He's just Dense. It's fine, Oikawa is Oikawa, offended at anything Ushijima
Prove that he's matured in almost four years after leaving Japan and finding a spot for himself where he's not competing with Kageyama.]
But you DID insult me. How can you not see that my "worthless pride" is an insult? You'd have to be really stupid not to see that. On top of it, right after we'd lost to Karasuno. You could have at least waited until after you'd lost to them.
[Another deep breath, this time exhaled with a laugh. An apology isn't something he'd ever expected to receive, and he's not sure how to feel about it. Despite having wanted one for the past four-ish years.]
Fine. I'll accept your apology, since I'm shocked you would give one. Can't say I forgive you, yet, but that apology earned you a few points. Points that will allow me to help you, unless you'd rather figure it out on your own, then whatever. I'm sure others will help if you don't want mine.
there, there, everything is Fine
ushijima isn't expecting acceptance or forgiveness, so he's a bit surprised oikawa even decides to accept the apology for what it is. at the very least, he isn't expecting anything to come of it as oikawa has always seemed like the type to be contrary just for the sake of being contrary. it's a shame they are both in this situation, and he would like nothing more than to get along with one another while they're here, but it seems oikawa is more intent on being combative.
but, then he's offering help...
see? being contrary for no real reason.
he lifts a hand, resting his chin between his thumb and forefinger to think things over. then, )
Help me how?
Up to you if you wanna make Oikawa feel Sad. Might calm him down for other things to happen. Or not
But he's not without kindness either, and Ushijima isn't making him want to murder as badly as he's overreacting to everything. Just shock, anger, and the begrudging acceptance of death.]
For beginners. About how this place works. Because trust me, you'll need it. Whether you actually trust me or not is up to you.
Secondly, semi-related question. I take it you were informed about how you arrived? Let me ask you: what's the last thing you remember before, y'know, dying like the Peacekeeper said? Iwa-chan is here and he's somehow younger than me.
[Part of him isn't sure he wants this answer, but he's gotta ask, since the Ushijima he's looking at looks, and he hates to admit it, more handsome than he remembers seeing from the terrible selfie Iwaizumi sent him.]
rolls the dice
( that comes first and foremost. ushijima has no reason not to trust him. oikawa might be a lot of things — and a lot of unkind things, depending on whom one asks — but ushijima has never not trusted him, not been given any reason to believe he isn't trustworthy. it seems like something important oikawa should know.
but, beyond that, he is... suddenly confused. iwaizumi is here? ( this feels like something else entirely that he should be dealing with, yet for now it is set to the side. ) and somehow younger? but, he just saw him... and oikawa, as well. ushijima falls silent, and really studies oikawa's face. there has always been a boyish charm to him, making him seem younger than he appears, and in being this close and really focusing, he does look just a little different from the last time they crossed paths. )
...The 2020 Olympics.
( this is the first time ushijima's tone sounds borderline hesitent. something doesn't feel right if Oikawa is asking this. )
no subject
Which causes... some sort of pit to drop in his stomach. He can't place it, he should be furious at hearing this, but for some strange reason Tooru isn't and he does not like that either. Maybe it's the tone, it has to be, but then shouldn't he be smug? But the 2020 Olympics, that would make Ushijima older than him then. What a strange thing, Iwaizumi is now younger and Ushijima is now older. But, that's not important to focus on!]
Wait. You're telling me you're 25? And that you've beaten me to the Olympics now... What else am I going to lose to you at?
[Surprisingly, that bite in his voice isn't directed to Ushijima, but towards himself. Guess that's what happens when part of your life is dedicated to winning against people like Kageyama and Ushijima, and losing to them nearly every time.]
no subject
because ushijima is observant enough, he sees a host of things flicker over oikawa's expression. he doesn't know how this is going to end up — not simply because oikawa is unpredictable with his outbursts — but he's operating off of what actually happened at the olympics, thinking oikawa already knows the outcome.
yet, there is this strange reaction and for a few moments ushijima doesn't know how to move forward, so, he stands there silently for a few moments in an attempt to figure out how best to handle this. then, he clears his throat and makes a small gesture. )
Almost 27, actually. ( the olympics ended just days before his birthday and then he wound up here. what a gift... ) The 2020 Olympics were held in the summer of 2021.
( another brief pause; he shifts his weight from foot to foot, glances to the side, then back toward oikawa. it feels weird to say this when oikawa clearly doesn't know. is this breaking some kind of karmic rule somewhere? does that count even after death? )
You were there and did not lose.
no subject
Which is how his entire being goes from the mess of emotions to a cold fury, a quiet volcano that could blow at any given moment, taking one dangerous step forward. Though not quite up in Ushijima's face, yet.]
Didn't take you for a liar, you must have picked up some people skills by some point. But honestly Ushijima, cut the shit. Me, win against you? I've dreamed about it, for YEARS, but it's just that. A DREAM. Argentina's National Team isn't a bad team but if Japan's cannon is on it with Tobio-chan? As if.
You don't need to lie to me to make me feel better or some other excuse.
no subject
he keeps his gaze trained on oikawa, not even flinching as he takes a step closer. others might balk at him, feeling this kind of oppressive air around him, but ushijima isn't afraid. because, well, he's just speaking the truth. even if oikawa just doesn't want to believe him. )
Why would I lie to make you feel better? ( it's so weird??? ushijima really doesn't understand oikawa's line of thinking ever. ) Or to have myself lose? It was an excellent game, but Argentina took the win.
no subject
But since he's not here, Tooru does the stupid thing and gets up in the taller man's personal space and takes his shirt in a fist and closes the space between them save for a few inches before he just snaps letting years of anger and hurt flow out. It's unfair, but he doesn't care, he's held onto this anger since middle school and this was the last thread to snap before he lost his cool.]
"Why would I lie?" Oh I don't know, to play some sick joke on me. Get my hopes up only to crush them later if anyone else showed up. Maybe you learned from that Guess Monster you seem to be buddies with, I don't know.
[Tooru takes one deep breath before letting even more anger out, completely ignoring the fuzzy feeling in his head, and body. He'll deal with that later.]
YOU IDIOT, I WASN'T THERE! I'm 21, almost 22, I'm not even on the national team! I'm just the setter for Club Atlético San Juan! I have no idea what happened after I left Rio, because I showed up HERE.
no subject
it is... different. strange, almost, because he isn't used to feeling urges like this. his hands curl into fists at his sides in a bid to attempt to calm whatever might be stirring up inside of him. he's already forgotten about the things he's eaten and that those things are what's lending to this feeling right now as his focus has narrowed to oikawa.
he's listening to him, mostly, at the very least he hears what he says and understands the gist of it, yet nothing is really sticking. heat winds up around him, and he can almost feel the way it moves from his feet, up his legs, and further until it crests over the crown of his head and unfurls in a tingling sensation that sliters down his neck and back.
he's not so stupid that he doesn't understand what this feeling is, but this is oikawa who's yelling at him over something ushijima really doesn't understand. why is he so damn difficult to deal with? )
What sort of joke would that be? I am only an enemy inside your head, Oikawa. ( he pauses for a moment, makes a move to touch him but thinks better of it and keeps his hands to himself. ) You were there, Iwaizumi was there, Kageyama was there, Hinata was there. Argentina won the gold in men's volleyball. You can choose to believe whatever you wish, I cannot make you.
no subject
I just said, some kind of sick joke to fuck with me. Get my hopes up. KNOWING that I've never been able to beat you or your team. Fuck you. "I'm only an enemy inside your head." Really? Easy to say when you've always come out on top.
[Without even realizing it, there's a lot more hurt in his voice. Most of it to losing to Ushijima, but more about just losing every chance in middle and high school to really shine. And yet, he'd also made peace with that to push himself further and succeed. He's just pissed and refuses to believe Ushijima of all people. Kageyama he'd be more willing to believe, there was a healthier rivalry between the two now, and he'd definitely believe Hinata.
Tooru, also, had gotten even more in Ushijima's space, that spice cake starting to really have an effect on him now as his gaze no longer is on Ushijima's eyes but his lips and then his neck. Hard to ignore the effects now that he's so close and practically pressed against the other man, and he hates that he wants to be touched. Yet, he does, and even has had a dream or two about being pinned down by Ushijima, though never has admitted it. Not even to Iwaizumi, he doesn't want to deal with that teasing, not yet.]
no subject
it's almost a little strange to him at the moment that as his temper flares into something unrecognizable that he catches the scent of oikawa — something clean, something sweet — and that does something to him. it's somehow familiar yet different and it makes heat twist inside his belly; a different kind of heat from the anger that is also coursing through his veins.
he doesn't know what comes over him, but one moment he's standing still and refusing to follow the urge to touch, and the next he has mirrored oikawa's previous motion and fisted his hand into oikawa's shirt and boidly moves them several steps back to crowd oikawa against the nearest wall. ushijima's pupils are blown wide, that black eating into brown as lust begins to cloud his mind. his hips press firmly against oikawa's as an extra anchor to keep him in place. )
I am not like you. ( the words are low, nearly a growl as he tips himself closer to oikawa's face. ) I find no joy in that kind of joke, nor do I with lying. Believe what you wish, Oikawa, but do not take out your misplaced anger on me.
no subject
He's still angry, but there's that fire burning judging by his own physical reaction to Everything. Lord help him, he's turned on by getting overpowered by Ushijima of all people and wanting more than just pinned to a wall, which has his face turn redder. Though failing to hide it, Tooru attempts to hide it by smirking and laughing, taunting despite this being a losing battle for him.]
Well, by all means, if you're that mad at me for being mad, then take it out on me instead of just flirting like this. Or are you a coward to do anything more, since you're already in my face. Kiss me, I dare you. I doubt you'd do it though.
[What even is he saying...? "kiss me, I dare you" what the hell kind of taunt is that, he's better than this. Especially with the tone it's said with as well as grinding against Ushijima. Damn spice cake.]
no subject
then again, oikawa seems to have some kind of sway over ushijima's emotions. well, right now, anyway. ushijima doesn't really know why ( it's the tainted food, he'll think about it later ), but he has to do something about it. at least, that's what's going on in his head right now.
and... somehow oikawa just gives him an opening. just like that.
not that he understands what he means — flirting? he's not, or... he doesn't think he is. is he? that actually gives him pause for a moment to think about it. and kiss him? what...
ushijima lets his gaze slip down to oikawa's mouth, then his eyes, then his mouth again. a shiver works its way through him as oikawa grinds against him and... what is really happening here? ushijima's mind just sort of blanks for a minute because one moment he's just watching him and the next he's moved in close enough to crash their lips together in an almost hurried kiss, one hand curled around to rest against the small of his back to keep him close. )
no subject
But it still surprises him when he is kissed. Surprised even more that when his mind catches up with him that, almost to his horror, he actually enjoys it, evidenced by a whine that slips out. As well as his hands moving on their own, the one fisting Ushijima's shirt sliding up into the back of the man's hair, and his other slipping around his back and under his shirt to dig his nails into Ushijima's back.]
Terrible. Let me show you how it's done.
[Shithead. Though, Tooru does kiss back, and does so with a need for more. But not sloppy, as he nips at Ushijima's bottom lip in his way of asking for more.]
no subject
the sound he can't really parse — what does it mean? did oikawa mean to do it? does he know how the sound shoots straight down to ushijima's core and makes him feel strangely tingly? — but it's the feeling of those short, perfectly volleyball manicured nails dragging across his skin that really get him somewhere. not to mention the bite against his bottom lip...
who knew that would be something he likes?
his lips part enough to allow that entry oikawa's seeking, his own tongue licking into oikawa's mouth to have more, too. it's slick and wet and making his heartrate speed up in a way he never expected. his hand slides further up oikawa's back as his hips surge forward to pin oikawa's hips to the wall... then thinks better of it and starts a slow grind against him. he isn't even thinking straight anymore, but his body is moving all on its own to seek out pleasure. )
no subject
Which gets a small, but definitely pleased, moan from him. And immediately embarrasses him even more, but there's too much want for more, and Tooru finds that... While he hates the man pinning him (or so he's convinced himself), he wants more and a good portion of that isn't even the laced cake if he's being fully honest with himself.
But even then his body moves on its own, the hand that's digging into Ushijima's back sliding down to grab his ass at first before there's something resembling a huff before reaching back to pull a hand on his back to grab it and place on the waistband of his very easy to pull off shorts. Damn Ushijima for being in jeans while Tooru is the one in gym shorts that come off easily.
He can only hope Ushijima gets the hint to pull at those shorts or even slide up under his shirt, otherwise he'll be very annoyed at him. More than he normally would be.]

without thinking too long on it, he pushes forward with that and pushes his hand up further, the palm of his hand smoothing over oikawa's side to feel that skin to skin contact, if only for a moment. he does smoothe around over the toned muscle of oikawa's stomach — his skin is so warm and it's only serving to make him want more.
so, he takes more. ushijima pushes his fingers beyond the barrier of that elastic waistband and follows that heat to wrap his hand around oikawa's cock. he drags his hand along the length of him, blindly rubbing his thumb over the tip on each upward motion. in the aroused haze of his mind, he knows this isn't going to be enough, but there's a part of him that feels as if his curiosity is being sated by touching oikawa like this.
some self-reflection is coming, but not yet. he'd rather have oikawa come first. )

And then that hand goes below and into his shorts, getting a whine and groan out of him, still trying to stop himself from moaning. It's successful for a short while until he's getting jerked off, and no amount of biting his cheek or tongue could stop the groan from escaping him as Tooru makes it known that he is in fact having a good time.
Embarrassing, but he leans his head back into the wall with his eyes closed all while curling his fingers into Ushijima's hair. It's short, yet long enough to get enough of a grip to be able to pull the man's head down to his neck, a side where Iwaizumi hasn't bitten him yet. His other hand slides up under Ushijima's sweatshirt and shirt, running against the toned muscles, surprisingly gentle about it with all the experience he has with appreciating Iwaizumi's muscular body.
And then, he has to go and ruin this by opening his mouth to be a complete and utter brat:]
I hope you know what you're doing, or else I'm going to have to take control of this. You better know how to actually fuck someone Ushiwaka.

he finds he likes the feeling of oikawa's fingers moving over his skin, too, wants to feel more everywhere... even if each finger seems to leave a flaming hot trail of tingling fire in its wake. just touching doesn't feel like enough, but even though he knows he wants more he isn't sure how far to push.
but, oikawa seems to make the decision for him as he feels himself guided toward an elegant neck that doesn't seem fitting for a professional volleyball player. ushijima noses along the tendon first, attaches his lips to the thin skin over his heartbeat, and sucks there, nibbles softly.
well, softly until oikawa breaks their tentative silence and then ushijima bites a little harder. )
Do you ever stop talking?

And those fingers trail up to a nipple, at first gently brushing over it with a thumb before pinching ever so slightly, just enough to tease. Especially as Ushijima nips, and then bites, getting that resisted moan out of him. It's loud and doesn't hide the fact that Tooru really enjoys it as his grip on Ushijima's hair tightens and his other hand suddenly digs into that chest.
Embarrassing. He was trying to hold back, too. It takes a few seconds for him to come back down from that momentary high before both hands leave where they are to tug at Ushijima's shirt and sweater. Those need to come off now, he decides.]
Only if I'm made to, or have something or someone in my mouth. Now, take that off, it's in the way.
[That first part is said with the best smirk he can do while riding the high of being bitten and jacked off, while the second is much more demanding.]

go figure.
the way oikawa's hands move over his body feels good, as if they're leaving a trail of tingling over every inch that they touch. he can't say he doesn't like it, nor can he say that he doesn't want more in other places. there's a sharp intake of breath as oikawa pinches his nipple — not something he really considered as something to enjoy himself, but... maybe so.
then he's faced with some sort of dilemma as he understands the need to remove his shirt, but that means taking his hand off of oikawa. and he kind of doesn't want to do that. what should he do? considering how their relationship is always so tumultuous, ushijima decides to not listen to him right away, opting instead to speed up the way he strokes along oikawa's cock; teasing and squeezing and doing what he can to coax him toward that peak of pleasure. he bites, again, near the previous one but in a different place to see if he can draw out the same reaction or if something new bubbles up. then, )
Come first, then I will.
Ignore this being an iwaoi icon it's my only bite one LOL
Well, make me.
[Nevermind that he's close to losing control and about to cum. Damn his body for liking the pain and being a masochist, damn Iwaizumi for being the root of that as well, and damn Ushijima for being hot enough to want to be fucked into the next week by him as the cherry on top of this cake. Well. If Ushijima won't do as he says, he'll take matters into his own hands as he tugs one more time at the sweatshirt before busying his hands with undoing Ushijima's pants in a rush.
And the moment he reaches down to grab the other man's dick under any underwear, Tooru's surprised at what he feels. Ushijima is hard and... Big. That causes an audible gulp, and embarrassingly is what tips him over the edge into orgasm, unable to stop himself from thinking about how that would feel inside him despite it being attached to Ushijima.]

that was easy.
oikawa spilling over onto his hand, his stomach, ushijima's shirt, comes ( haha ) as a surprise almost. yes, that was the point of all of this, but he didn't expect oikawa to give into him so quickly. nevermind that even oikawa can't possibly control that much, but still. he doesn't expect it.
...nor does he expect how ridiculously sexy when he finally lets that orgasm shake through him.
pleasure, as it turns out, is a really good look on oikawa.
he's so distracted by that, that it almost doesn't register that oikawa's pushing into his own pants and wrapping his hand around his own cock. it's almost too much at once and nothing's even really happened to him, yet. he groans and jerks his hips forward to seek out more. his own hand remains loosely wrapped around oikawa, not stroking so much as just a gentle sweep of his thumb along the underside. he tips his head in closer to find oikawa's lips to catch them in a heated kiss. )
