Jikan Test Drive MemeMinimize
You've seen this before. The thought strikes suddenly, during whatever it is you were doing. Having an important conversation? Running away from home? Dying in the midst of a fierce battle? Where ever you are, one things is true: you're certain this isn't the first time you've lived through this. But upon realizing this, that's when it happens. Like someone hitting rewind on the VCR, you're back where you were ten minutes ago. And it happens again. And again. And again--Until finally, something is different. A door stands in front of you. Will you go through it? Nothing else seems to be working, so this might be your only chance.
Upon opening the door and heading inside, a strange feeling overwhelms you. It's comforting and warm, like being enveloped in a soft, heavy blanket. You hear a voice murmuring in your ear, but it's unintelligible.
And in the next moment, you've appeared in a laboratory, surrounded by the unfamiliar yet worried faces of people in lab coats, speaking in a foreign language that doesn't sound so foreign to you anymore.
Nanjikan Research Laboratory
There isn't much time to process what's happening before characters are ushered out of the arrival room. They're passed between a medical and a psychiatric team, checking them for injuries and psychological trauma. Their every need is met: food is offered, injuries are tended to, and questions are answered. "You're in the Eastern Kingdom of Nippon on a planet called Gaia," they explain. "You were brought here because you became aware of the timeloop... we'll explain everything."
Orientation Nanjikan Research Lab, Tokyo
Everyone is brought to a large auditorium, where dozens of other people looking similarly out of place are seated around them. The scientists and doctors from before file on stage, thoroughly explaining the situation. What they experienced back home was a timeloop. While the loops in their home worlds are smaller and likely to resolve on their own, the fact that such a small amount of time is being repeated is what makes them so dangerous for those who become aware of it. And they've been working around the clock in collaboration with the neighboring Western Kingdom, checking adjacent universes for others who've become aware. While the technical explanations may go over the heads of most, that's not the reason they were all brought together like this.
And they continue to explain: their own world was trapped in a year long loop for decades, if not longer. Through the use of an ancient form of bonding magic, they bound their world to the present flow of time, allowing it to progress past the timeloop. Or at least, that's how they thought it worked. In truth, Kizuna is very powerful reality-warping magic. And thanks to the powerful bond all refugees now share with the country of Nippon, the magic surrounding them will only continue to evolve.
Until they find the means of resuming the flow of time back in your home world, the refugees will just have to make due with this one. But not to worry, because Nippon is fully committed to taking care of everyone!
A Place to Call Home Tokyo, Kanto
Once orientation is over, characters will be allowed to choose housing in both Kyoto and Tokyo, enabling them the means of easily living between both Kingdoms if they please. These housing options will be fully paid for by the government of Nippon, with the NRL and MRU providing a stipend for food expenses in Tokyo and Kyoto respectively.
In lieu of providing transportation, all refugees will be granted an unlimited rail pass that they can use to travel all across Nippon! Thankfully, express routes connecting Tokyo and Kyoto will be running at all times of day, allowing refugees to freely travel between the Eastern and Western Kingdoms as they please. While this TDM and its prompts are focused on the Eastern Kingdom, you are welcome to have your character arrive in the Western Kingdom instead.
For those bound for Nihonbashi, be careful not to board the train too late at night. Because on Friday nights, the Loop Line's final train of the night is a party train! Every train car is set up with its own theme and decor, with this week featuring the return of the ever popular sexy maid cafe in the rear of the car! Dress up in a surprisingly demure maid outfit (this is 1921) and take customer orders, or have a seat and peruse the menu. Aside from a small bar, there's no actual food service or exchange of currency going on here, so it's all in good fun! The train will loop endlessly past the same station until sunrise, so hopefully they weren't planning on an early night's sleep.
In Little Edo, a Great Nippon Salamander has been spotted wandering the streets in search of clean water. While this may not seem like a big deal, these creatures range in size from that of a large dog to that of a large house. To subdue the creature, the local hunting clan, the Hanzaki, are searching for volunteers to help coax the salamander back out into the swamplands of the Tokyo Outskirts. While the safest method is to lead it using a hose or another source of water, those looking to get the job done quickly may instead choose to fight the creature, causing it to flee in whichever direction they point it in. Careful, they move faster than you think!
Over in Yoshiwara, the Tokyo branch of the refugee-owned nightclub, Club Hexxx, has finally opened its doors! Enjoy a dark and spooky atmosphere while listening to the latest jazz hits. And best of all, refugees will be offered a free glass of Club Hexxx's signature drink: Kinklist, a coffee-flavored drink that turns white after one sip, and causing the drinker's deepest sexual desire to appear written on their cheek in black ink. The text will remain until they finish the rest of the drink.
NRL Time Refugee Support Network
Once they've received their housing assignment, all refugees will be given small handheld devices called magi-tech communicators, or magi-comms for short. They're heavier than a conventional smartphone would be, but far sturdier, and powered by the ambient magic that flows through the city. Now available with limited sepia-tone color, and video cameras! They don't need to be charged, but they won't work outside of cities at all. Upon booting it up, they'll find a message linking them to a special channel for refugees.
#nrl_time_refugee_support - online
Use the following code for your top-level if you'd like! This is how network communication will look for characters in the game until more advanced magi-tech comms become available for characters.
Springtime Flowers
With the changing of the seasons, the cherry blossoms have finally bloomed, painting the landscape with dashes of pink and white on nearly every corner. Not even the busy citizens of Tokyo can resist stopping to smell the flowers, or even enjoying picnics underneath them!
And those looking for the best place to view the flowers need look no further than Little Edo, a suburb in south Tokyo that borders the vast wetlands that separate Tokyo from Yokohama. And between the lush parks, interesting shrines, and mysterious ruins, there's no shortage of things for those settling in to explore!
A Very Special Festival Kanayama Shrine, Tokyo Outskirts
While most residents are celebrating the spring season under the cherry blossoms, a different sort of celebration is taking place at the Kanayama Shrine, located just south of Tokyo on a tall, narrow hilltop that juts out of the flooded landscape. Once more, it's time for the annual Kanamara Matsuri, and all refugees will find themselves invited to the little island to see the festivities. And what sort of festival is it, you may ask?
Why, it's the Festival of the Steel Phallus! According to legend, there was once a plague of a type of ayakashi that was known to live in the genitals of humans, whose vicious bite caused the birthrate of a certain city to drop down to zero. To combat this, an afflicted young woman asked a blacksmith to forge a steel phallus in order to break the ayakashi's teeth, freeing her of the curse. It's said the original phallus remains enshrined in the innermost chambers-- and in honor of this most venerated dildo, a festival is held every spring to celebrate sexuality and fertility, all leading up to a procession in which a giant steel phallus is paraded around the island.
(And no, I didn't make this one up.)
Refugees visiting the shrine will find no shortage of phallic-shaped foods and merchandise. Outside of the wide array of oddly shaped dildos to choose from, in terms of food, there are stalls selling lollipops, popsicles, sausages, grilled squid, octopus balls, cream-filled dick waffles-- but there's more at work here than a simple theme. Those who choose the popsicles will find themselves with a temporary oral fixation, causing an urge to have something between their lips at all times. Now, is this a naughty trick, or merely a marketing ploy to sell more popsicles? It's hard to say.
But the real treat is inside the shrine itself, where a single dildo stands tall among gilded offerings and flowers. The inner chamber is only ever put on display once a year, and for good reason. Anyone whose eyes fall upon the majestic phallus will become overwhelmed with a desire to fill or be filled - which might just be why viewings are done in groups of two or more, with the outer doors of the shrine closed behind them for privacy. There's a nice pile of pillows and no shortage of lubricating oils available, so why not get into the spirit of the season with a friend or two?
Flowers of Evil Little Edo, Tokyo
Festivals aside, many people are coming out to Little Edo to enjoy the array of cherry blossom trees for Hanami, or flower watching parties. Of these, the refugees will find themselves invited to a special gathering, taking place under the shade of a massive cherry blossom tree that was planted in their honor the year before. And yet despite it's young age, it's the largest tree around, continually growing since the initial growth spurt when it was planted. Although most understand that it was likely Kizuna that caused its sudden growth, locals have begun treating it as something sacred, leaving offerings and making prayers beneath its branches.
And should the refugees decide to take part as well, they may be surprised to find that whatever they wish for comes true. These wishes are rather limited, and some may only exist for a few minutes. But for those wishing to meet someone from home, the may be surprised to find that the person in question will appear beside them in Nippon... (See notes below for details!)
But while everyone else is enjoying the cherry blossoms, a certain park in Little Edo is drawing crowds for a different reason. After last year's outbreak of jubokko ayakashi, the cherry blossom trees in this area were permanently stained by the jubokko's red pollen, causing the pink petals to develop distinct red veins.
However, unlike the jubokko's pollen, these petals carry a very different effect. Anyone who stands under the shade of these trees will feel an irresistible urge to confess something. This can be something minor, like a strange food combination they are particularly fond of, or something major, such as the name of the last person they had sex with. This urge will linger even after leaving the flowers, until they've either confessed enough to appease the tree, or until the trees go bare when the blossoms fall.
Underwater Mysteries Tokyo Outskirts, Kanto
Those who are familiar with some version of Nippon may find the changed landscape to be rather confusing. Due to a massive time surge many decades ago, the entire region of Kanto was flooded, leaving many cities underwater or transformed into swamplands. As nature took over, the flooded region surrounding Tokyo came to be known the Tokyo Outskirts.
Ordinarily, exploring this area can be rather dangerous, given both the presence of dangerous Ayakashi and the unstable landscape that's peppered with the ruins of drowned cities. But this week, those looking for a little adventure can take part in special boat tours exploring the ruins and viewing the cherry trees from a unique vantage point.
Up to four people can fit in a single steamboat, which is preprogrammed to follow a path that will take passengers past the top of a large hill that's almost completely covered in cherry blossom trees, with the ruins of a few old buildings just barely visible beneath the overgrowth. But beauty aside, the real marvel is within the water itself, which is clear enough that one can look down and see roads, trees, and even entire buildings still mostly intact beneath the surface. You'd think the water just appeared one day, given that nothing seems to have been destroyed when the flood occurred.
But not every trip will go as smoothly as planned. Hidden beneath the pink petals that pepper the surface of the water, unlucky refugees may spot the long, long body of an Ikuchi, the sea serpent ayakashi. Thought to be the longest Ayakashi to exist in Nippon, these thick, snake-like creatures may take entire minutes just to pass under a boat. Spotting the body is simply distressing, and thankfully not of much concern. But should someone make eye contact with the third eye on top of its head, the Ikuchi will climb over the side of the boat and coil around it, attempting to drag it beneath the surface. And for the one who initially made eye contact, they'll find themselves affixed with a curse that temporarily makes it impossible to float in the water.
Thankfully, this ayakashi isn't interested in attacking those who fall overboard, and there's plenty of spots where the water is far more shallow. But those who fall in will have to wait until another tour comes by to ferry them back to shore.
OOC Notes
Welcome to Jikan's April TDM! The TDM is considered game canon, and also serves as the intro log! That said, whether you choose to carry threads over to the game or not is up to you!
• For this month only, please include in your top-level if you are a new player without an invite! Those seeking an invite can do so here!!
• CRAU characters may start regaining their CRAU memories one month after the TDM. However, vague feelings of familiarity are allowed between previous game CR! For more on this, please read the FAQ!
• You do not need to sign-up for housing! Choose whichever style you prefer. Roommates can be chosen by the characters or can be random. If you want to switch housing later, your character has the option of moving at the beginning of each month.
• Despite everything, Kanamaru Matsuri is considered an all-ages event!
• Wishes can be anything, from food items to items from home. All characters in the game will be allowed to redeem one item, magical or otherwise, from home using this prompt! However, for new character apping into the game, you have the option to have your character join the game by being wished into the setting. The wish can be anything from a direct plea to see a certain castmate again, or even just a wish for more friends that goes awry. These characters will still remember a time loop, but will not remember seeing a door, instead appearing in Tokyo after hearing the wishing-character's voice call to them. These characters will then be encouraged to visit the NRL for orientation, and will be offered an explanation that Kizuna saved them from the timeloop directly.
• While characters may attempt to fight the Ikuchi, it will not fight back, and cutting its body will cause it to grow another head and become another separate Ikuchi. This new head is also capable of cursing people, so it's probably best to leave it alone.
Please leave any questions about the TDM prompts in the thread below! General game questions can be directed to the FAQ!
Apps are always open!

He could feel when the little shit grinned and felt his own lips tugging upward in response. This was... so dumb. Very, very dumb. He wasn't even drunk. He was stone cold sober so he had no excuse. Other than they could get away with doing this now. Away from home, away from obligations, what else were they doing to do? Indulging a little wasn't a bad thing, right?
And besides, Reno tasted sweet. His lips were soft, warm and a little damp. Rude wished he'd bothered to remove his gloves so he could actually feel Reno's hair between his fingers. But it was too late for that now.]
Did I now?
[The kiss broke, he was still smiling, but now a brow rose when he was informed he'd forgotten something. Rude didn't think he had... until his partner went and took a drink of that sweet liquid. And then lips were upon his again. It took Rude only a second or two to figure out what Reno had planned. His hand tightened a little within that deep red hair before Rude parted his lips to accept a taste of Reno's drink.
It was a little too sweet in his opinion. But the taste of the drink was secondary to the feel of Reno's tongue upon his own. He didn't choke, he swallowed. A little dribble of the drink leaked from the corner of his lips, but he didn't waste a single drop more.]
no subject
But honestly, none of it could compare to the feelings hidden underneath it all. Flings couldn't compare to kissing someone you wanted to be with, night after night, sex or no. Rude's smile meant more than every fling combined. Especially because they were so hard-won.
After they swallowed he didn't entirely break away from the kiss, instead moving his lips down to lap up that dribble, a mixture of kissing and licking around the corner of Rude's mouth.
He awkwardly stretched out to placed the glass down on the seat of a nearby chair. It was almost empty now and just getting in the way... but his hand was also sticky.
He brought his hand up but where to put it? Rude wouldn't want him to get his jacket sticky. Or his face for that matter. He flexed his fingers indecisively.]
no subject
Even when the kiss broke and Rude was trying to gather up his wits, Reno still didn't stop. He felt that hot little tongue licking at the little bit of drink that had managed to escape their sealed lips. Despite himself, Rude gave a low, deep laugh.
This was insane. He had gone crazy. It was this world, he was sure of it. This world and it's crazy magic.
And he didn't care. Magic or not, it wasn't making him do a single thing he didn't want to do. He wasn't forced to kiss Reno. And he wasn't forced to do what he did next. Which was to reach up and take his partners hand within his gloved one. Without a word he pulled the hand in close to return the favour.
Lips parted and with a slow, firm stroke, Rude licked up Reno's index finger and tasted that same sweetness from the drink they had shared. When he reached the fingertips, he made another of those snap decisions, taking a page out of his partners book, and parted his lips further to take the fingers into his mouth. His gaze never left Reno's, watching the redhead carefully.]
no subject
I must be rubbing off on you, partner.
[A warm tongue gliding over his finger was something else. A lot different than licking one's own fingers. It wasn't necessarily the most sensitive spot, but it was playful, sensual.
And then his fingers were in Rude's mouth and he had to crack up, nearly toppling against him and dropping his forehead to Rude's shoulder.]
Yeah, I definitely rubbed off on you.
[But he was having fun. A lot of it. He knew they weren't about to tumble to the floor and have sex - Rude wasn't the type of guy who would do that publically - but he didn't need it. This was the type of shit he loved, even if he had no idea what to do with his fingers. They were warm and wet and having them sucked on was definitely a different feeling.
Instead he sidled up Rude's lap, inching their bodies closer. He was curious just how much Rude was into this right now. While it had all been on the ridiculous side, there had been moments that sent a shiver through him, that made him want to go further, and had gotten him slightly hard, and he wondered if Rude had gotten that, too. He pressed their bodies nearly crotch to crotch, wrapping his free arm around Rude's shoulders to hold on.]
no subject
But when Reno fell toward him, Rude caught him.
His hand fell from Renos hair to wrap about the slimmer form of his partner, holding onto him to make sure he didn't do something stupid like actually fall off. And then he had to think about what he was actually going to do with the fingers in his mouth. He hadn't thought that far ahead. It had been a spur of the moment action that proved to Rude that he really should think things through. He wasn't Reno. He couldn't get away with that shit.
But then somehow, some way, Reno had managed to wriggle himself closer within his lap. A part of themselves that had, up until this point remained unconnected, now connected and Rude almost inhaled the fingers in his mouth. He pulled the hand free with a cough and thought about pushing Reno away again... Except it was too late for that. Rude was only human. Of course his body had reacted to what was happening, though he'd tried very hard to ignore it. Only now his partner had brought it back to his attention and all he could do now was stare.]
Reno...
no subject
[No shame in that. Not for Reno. Even if they were acting like a pair of idiots, getting all cozy and... well, however people would describe the rest. Sticky? Wet? It was all bound to get some sort of reaction.
But he wasn't about to push Rude to do anything here and now. He let his now freed arm drop to Rude's other shoulder, staying put close together like that.
If nothing else, it was flattering to he'd had that effect on him.]
So... [He spoke a little hushed, between serious and joking.] What do you wanna do?
[That he'd leave up to Rude. He was the one who was more uptight about these things, and while Reno pushed his buttons he only took it so far.]
no subject
And nothing bad had happened. No one had come to interrupt them with a job or mission, no one told them to stop, no one paid them a blind bit of attention. It was as if they were in their own little bubble.
But still...]
... That's a loaded question.
Tell me where your heads at right now.
[There wasn't a shred of joking in Rudes tone. He was taking this serious now. Whether something happened or not depended on the answer he had. If Reno was still just playing around then that was all this would be. They could blame it on that drink if they needed to.
But if Reno actually had interest... He wondered just whether his legs would actually carry the both of them back to his place.]
no subject
[It was hard not to take the joke hanging right in front of him. But for all he put Rude through it, he had his stopping points. He wanted Rude to like him and he didn't take things beyond what he thought Rude would put up with. This was one of those things. Whether they did have sex or never had sex, they were partners for life, and Reno wasn't going to risk that for a cheap thrill. That was something he took seriously.
Rude had kissed him. More than once. If it was a question of attraction that didn't seem to be an issue.
He was the type who could screw around a day and move on but Rude wasn't, which meant he had to consider how this might effect their relationship long-term. Was it going to be worth it? A wild romp in the sack might be fun for a night, but not if it'd jeopardize what they had.
So even though he had joked, even though he still sat there with a smile, his eyes wandered off in thought while he thought about the risk. How serious could he take things? He wasn't going to push resentment between them if he couldn't take things as earnestly as Rude wanted.
Finally, with a soft, amused huff, he answered.]
Your place or mine?
[It was the same damn place.]
no subject
And Rude was actually pleased to see Reno considering the question properly after he'd made his joke. It was that, more than anything else, that set his own mind at ease. That made him hug Reno a little closer to him, not afraid of what he would feel when he did.
He knew what he wss asking. And be knew that things could change for them... But he hoped it would just make things more interesting, not bad.
Taming Reno was not his intention here. But there was definite attraction and he would be a fool to pass up a chance to see where that could lead them. And so...as promised, Rude tightened his hold again, one arm around Reno's back and the other hooked under his ass, and he stood up.
There was only a slight shift as he found his balance.]
Then I recommend you hold on tighter.
[There was just a little bit of smugness in his voice. He'd stood up and hadn't fallen over. And he was able to walk without much issue also. He ignored everyone else in the club except for the one who opened the door for them. They got a quick nod of thanks before Rude carried Reno out into the cool evening air.]
no subject
If anyone needed proof that Rude spoiled the fuck out of him, there was no better moment than now. Reno gripped onto Rude tighter to keep himself from being awkwardly balanced, and after the initial surprise of being lifted he leaned right into it.
It was ridiculous, but that's what made their time together fun. Pretty impressive, really. Reno might not have been particularly huge, but he was still the weight of an average guy. Leave it to Rude to be able to lug him around. Show off.
As they were marching off down the road, Reno asked:]
Just to be sure, I'm the one fucking you, right?
[He enjoyed it both ways himself, but he had a feeling that assumptions might be being made and decided to say something just to see how Rude would respond. He had his guesses about how Rude liked it, but Rude wasn't the type who kissed and talked like Reno was. So he mischievously threw the suggestion out there and waited to see how Rude reacted.]
no subject
Weren't you impressed with his strength, Reno? You better be.
And then Reno had to open his mouth. That mouth was going to always get Reno into trouble.
Rude turned his head a little, catching his partners eye.]
Maybe next time. Not this time.
no subject
[He put on a little act of being affronted, but the difference between his pretend and real anger was obvious. He had a feeling he knew what Rude preferred, and it turned out he was right.]
I'll have you know I've got very high expectations if you want a piece of this ass. The room better look like one of your explosives hit it by the time we're done.
no subject
You should have said if you wanted my ass. You think you can handle it?
[Because truly, it didn't bother him. It would be a first for him, but Rude wasn't that hung up on things like top and bottom. They were the same thing to him. So long as they were each enjoying it, did it matter?
He adjusted his hold on Reno, lifting him a little more as it felt like he was slipping down a little.]
Tell me what you want.
no subject
Hey, have you ever actually had your ass pounded?
[He says ever so conversationally. It's not as if the topic of sex had never come up, but Rude tended to be a private guy about it. Very unlike Reno.
Reno tightened his grip around Rude's shoulders when he lifted him, and since he was there... He nuzzled in, creeping under Rude's ear and giving the lobe a little nibble, and very softly playing with the earring there.]
no subject
No one's ever pounded my ass.
[Completely deadpan, 100% serious. No, kissing and telling also wasn't Rude's style. But if they were going to do what they were going to do then he should probably open up a little about these things. It's not as if he really minded, it wasn't that he was shy. He was just a private kind of guy. Which was a tricky thing to be when your partner was someone like Reno.
Speaking of...]
I won't stop you. But make a choice, Reno. Keep doing what you're doing and be dropped, or stop and wait till we get to my place.
[Because it was going to get very hard to focus on putting one foot in front of the other with Reno lipping at his ear like that.]
no subject
[It'd be kind of nice in a way. To be the first one to do something like that with Rude. He didn't put a massive amount of stock in virginity or anything like that, but there was something appealing about knowing he could be the first to see how Rude reacted.
He freed Rude's ear but seemed to be seriously contemplating it. Being dropped was hardly enough to entirely dissuade him... But he was enjoying being carried, and it was impressive as hell how far Rude could lug him around.
Not that he ever expected less.]
Man, we're almost there. You're unbelievable sometimes, you know? But I guess it's good to know for reference that you can carry me from the bar to our place... Can be handy in the future.
[He's probably carried Reno out of a bar more than once...]
no subject
[He sounded amused. He wasn't going to argue with Reno. Whatever he wanted they would do. It wasn't that he was saving himself for anyone, he just hadn't found anyone he was interested in letting top him, or had even wanted to. It hadn't been a deal breaker, so it had never been an issue.
Rude gave a little grunt that could have been a laugh.]
Wouldn't do to drop you now. We're almost there.
[He agreed, so he could carry him the rest of the way. But he had done this before, though never holding Reno quite like this. And never with Reno nibbling at his ear or doing what he could to distract him.
When they reached the apartments he let Reno get the door open and then drew the line at walking up stairs with the redhead. So he set Reno on his feet... and then swatted his ass and pointed up the stairs.]
After you.
no subject
Is that your seduction technique?
[But he was cracking up. Not too many had ever thought to slap his ass - though he'd probably slapped a few himself. Hell, he'd probably slapped Rude's ass at some point. Definitely different to be on the receiving end.
He turned and took a few steps backward toward the stairs, sassing Rude the whole way.]
Guess I better get up there before you try to get my ass to match my hair.
[He spun around and raced up the stairs. Somehow, it was almost like so many other things between them. Teasing, laughing, pushing each other around... but that was so much better than being super serious.
He stopped after the door to their room, turning toward it so that when Rude followed up after he could accost him, grabbing at the buttons on his jacket to start undoing them top from bottom.]
Let me help you get a little more comfortable.
no subject
[He hadn't intended to do damage to Reno. It was an attempt at playfulness. It had amused Reno so he supposed it had worked. So when Reno went up the stairs, Rude followed along after him.
Once inside the apartment, Rude had time enough to get the door closed behind him before Reno was on him. He'd started with the shirt, so Rude decided to be helpful and pulled at his tie, removing that and tossing it carelessly to the side. He helped Reno remove his jacket and then reached out to do the same for his partner.]
You too, Reno.
no subject
[It was nice to see Rude with the jacket off. Oh, he looked good in it, but it also covered up a lot of the good stuff. Sometimes people didn't really realize how in shape he was underneath it all.
But he stopped, because Rude wanted to return the favor.]
Alright, but I'm gonna make you do it by yourself, 'cause mine's already half done for you.
[His buttons might as well have been fake considering how little he used them.]
no subject
He got the jacket and shirt undone and smoothed his hands up his partners chest, pushing the clothes out of the way as he did. Up to his shoulders and he pushed both items off to let them drop down his arms. Though the shirt caught at Reno's wrists, binding him like that for a moment. And it was a moment that Rude needed to grab at slim hips to pull the redhead hard against his own.
There was no doubts that Reno was a beautiful looking man. Every single inch of him. And he had every intention of exploring every one of those inches. But before then he wanted something else, and that was to lean down and catch Reno's lips in another kiss. Firmer, deeper than the last. Hungrier. He allowed some of his desire for the other man to seep through into the kiss, if the feel of his cock straining against the front of his pants wasn't proof enough.]
no subject
So he played into it, rolling his shoulders to help him get the clothes off, using that moment to pose seductively for him.
Then Rude was grabbing him and pulling him close while he hands were still trapped behind him. If it had been anyone else he would have been on alert. Even a second of delay could be the difference between life and death.
But this being Rude he let himself be vulnerable. Rude set the pace, being the only one at the moment who could hold the other, but he was more than happy to grind his anxious cock against Rude's.
It was moments later, while they were still tasting each other, Reno gladly opening up for him and returning his fervor, that his clothes hit the floor with a soft rustling sound.
When he had a chance to breathe again, only an inch from Rude's mouth, he smirked.]
Think it's your turn to lose the shirt. Let's see that 12-pack.
no subject
It's only fair.
[Rude made himself let go of Reno's hips so that he could shrug out of his jacket. The cuffs of his shirt were unbuttoned, then the top buttons, and instead of going all of the way he dropped his hands to grab the hem of the shirt and peeled it up over his head. It was tossed to the side with the rest of their clothes.
Reno was not far off. Rude was a well defined man. Muscular without being overbearing, he could actually hold his arms to his sides! But he looked good. He knew he looked good. Not in the way Reno knew he looked good, but in a more objective, understated way. Rude never thought about showing off. However, there was little part of him that wanted his partners approval.]

Damn, Rude! You haven't been slacking on the workouts.
[Of course, words were only half of it. Now that his hands were free it was time to return the appreciation. He placed them on Rude's sides, but he had a different target than Rude's mouth; instead he leaned in, lips tracing up one of Rude's pecs before aggressively and shamelessly nibbling his way up to the edge of his neck.
Rude had a natural musk to him that he could pick on when he was that close. It was subtle - Rude had always been picky about keeping himself clean at all times, so the strongest he ever smelled was during a good workout. Reno had always thought he had a distinct manly scent that always brought to mind 'a winner' for him. He didn't cheat or half-ass his workouts, and whether Reno said it or not he'd always respected that about him, and the results showed.
While Reno looked up from his spot at Rude's neck, cocky as hell, his hands dropped down to grab the hem of Rude's pants.]
I want to check out the ride.
[Surely Rude had fallen for him because of his graceful way with words.]

[What? He enjoyed his work outs. Maybe he liked to be clean but working out was one of the few times he didn't mind working up a sweat. The other time... well... Reno would find that one out in short order.
He sighed when cool hands landed on his body, when lips found his skin. His breath caught when those lips and nipping teeth made their way toward his neck. Rude took the opportunity to let his own hands wander, along Reno's back and then down to grab two heaping handfuls of perky ass. He'd just gave it a squeeze when Reno's hands dropped to his own pants.
Rude chuckled, deep and low in the back of his throat.]
It's all yours.
