006 ┼ I'm Finding Me Out, I'm Having My Doubts, I'm Losing the Best of Me

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Who: Luci & YOU
What: You know what sucks? Everything about the last festival-- especially all the chaos and running. You know what's probably a good idea? Ignoring all of that and having a party. On a yacht.
When: May 20th
Where: The bay outside Vista City
Warnings: IT'S A CARNIVAL CRUISE...!

((Luci just got a strange pay bump and she's using it to regroup after the intense clusterfuck at the last festival-- she's still not sure exactly what happened there, but even though it's probably significant, she'd rather celebrate like one usually does after a lot of work. By renting a yacht for a night. Like people usually do.))





((It's a nice boat. Plenty of food, a couple of bartenders, fire pits, couches, swimsuits for those who need, and music of course. The party is, of course, invite only to keep the paparazzi and gatecrashers and people looking to turn this into a work-venture out, but Luci's given the bouncer clearance to let friends of guests and anybody who seems interesting in-- she knows Luci's type.))

((Try not to get too blitzed and fall overboard!))

[That makes Dino happy again--he feels so mercurial here--so he grins broadly.]

You can take a closer look. I don't mind.

[But he does move to ease the shorts back up.]

[rainandswallows]

[Yamamoto swallows and edges forward to look closer. He's not sure if he's relieved or disappointed when Dino begins to edge his shorts up again.]

They're so cool.

[He wants to touch. But should he really be finding his best friend's big brother figure attarctive? Well... It's not like he's actually Tsuna's brother.]

Did you get them all down at once?

[alleato]

[Dino points to the one on his neck, then indicates down his arm.] These were all at once. The one down my side took the longest.

[a grin.] Go ahead. The flame's actually hot. Touch it.

[It's not actually hot.]

[rainandswallows]

[Yamamoto knows the flames not actually hot. But he's a little worried the skin might not be.

He reaches up and touches the flames along Dino's ribcage. That seems safe]

[alleato]

[Safe, but it makes Dino flinch a little and laugh. It's a pleasant enough touch and he's feeling touchy.]

I was lying, sorry. They're really important to me. I'm glad you like them.

[rainandswallows]

[There's no way for Dino to know how much Yamamoto likes it. Still he gives Dino a grin, despite feeling a little awkward..]

Well... it was kinda hot.

[He knew how much they meant to Dino. And had always liked them. He trails his hand down Dino's ribcage, enjoying the feel of the older man's skin under his fingers.]

I do like them a lot.

[alleato]

[Hot.....

Well. Dino's fine with that, and maybe his smile isn't as innocent as it could be. The attention warms him just as much as the tub has, and he's trying very carefully not to let his approval show.]

I'm glad. I mean... you're definitely the kind of guy who knows good looking stuff when he sees it.

[L A M E]

[rainandswallows]

[Yamamoto's trying to keep himself in check as well...

He laughs a little. Yeah, Dino's always been a bit lame, but he's always been interesting in other ways.]

You think so?

[His hand keeps going down, tracing the tattoo, only stopping at the top of Dino's, very small, swimsuit.]

[alleato]

I designed it myself. So I think it looks good, anyway. If you agree, then you've got good enough taste for me.

[Dino helpfully eases the shorts down a very small fraction, albeit rather playfully. He won't go so far this time, honest.]

[rainandswallows]

Oh. [He gave Dino a smile and watched as Dino pushed his shorts down a little bit more

He swallowed, not exactly sure where this would go. Not sure how far he wanted this to go.]

[alleato]

[Dino pushed them down a touch more, watching for a reaction, noting those eyes fixed on him. Well, how odd to have that much attention...]

You okay there?

[rainandswallows]

[Yamamoto swallowed and watched. He was a little nervous, but he settled his hand on Dino's hip and looked up at the Cavallone boss]

I'm good. Just not used to doing things like this.

[alleato]

Things like what?

[Dino looked him over, slightly confused, before... That hand on his hip made him glance around to see if anyone was watching before he moved in closer. A bolder man may have come right out and said something extreme, but Dino had to be a little controlled.]

Did... you want to keep looking? [His smile was nothing short of charming.]

[rainandswallows]

Just... things like this.

[Yamamoto bites his lips and nods]

I really like them.

[He smiles back up, a little nervous, but confident.]

[alleato]

[Dino ducked his head shyly for a second, then nodded. Attention. Why he felt like this person in particular was worth paying some kind of attention to was too hard to work out, and trying just hurt his head. It wasn't quite like Squalo, but it was close enough. This man made him feel soothed, peaceful. Maybe it was just an instant attraction...?]

I'm not stopping you. You can touch me all you want. It's a party. I think we're supposed to have a good time.
