Christmas "Meme"

Welcome to the Dinohouse Christmas "meme"! This is going to work a bit differently from most memes, but still free free to do what you want here!

The idea:
Following this post I will be making an assortment of Universe/Location "thread" comments. These will define the specific scene and universe being worked in. Comments by applicable characters will follow under that comment.

Example:
Mushverse; Shiba Mansion; open to Shinkengers

Comments following that would all be set in the Mushverse universe, be by any Shinkengers that want to participate, and take place at the Shiba Mansion Christmas party. Think of it sort of like every "top level" comment is its own post to the community.

Following that example, if your desired AU/Canon/etc isn't there, feel free to make a "thread" for it! Say there's already a Mushverse Go-busters "thread", and you want to do something in Aibouverse, or something more canon, maybe just between two characters? Make one!

Comments following the "thread" headings can be group setting free for all, or between individuals. Say it's a canon GokaiGalleon party, and Gai and Luka want to go off alone, or are on their way to the Galleon together? Their thread can be a separate second level comment thread beneath the main Canon Gokaiger thread.

I know that's a lot of information/qualifiers, but don't let it make you nervous to post, "rules" are fluid, and mainly set for added organization.

HAVE FUN. And enjoy the season!

I look up at him, finally, as his hand cups my cheek, and I remember that touch so well, so achingly well. "Kurorin..."

Lips against mine, soft and light. I know this because my avatar can read the heat of his lips and the pressure of the kiss. But other than that...

We're on the roof, stolen moments alone. His hand in my hair, my hands on his hips. His lips are warm and soft. I sigh into his kiss.

We're locked away in a supply closet, his hands on my hips, my hands in his hair. His lips are wet this time, and insistent, I can barely growl before the kiss deepens and takes my breath away.

We're in his room at EMC, and he's brought us coffee. I'm naked under the covers, and his fingers brush my hand as he withholds the mug from me, just long enough to steal a lazily kiss.

Floods of memories, of lost time together. Just a few of the many reason I originally wrote him that card. Words I couldn't, and still can't, say aloud.

The kiss ends quickly and then he's pulling me close, arms around me, mouth tucked up behind my ear.

He tells me he loves me too, and my arm fly up to grip at the back of his shirt, hold onto him tight like I might fall over. My avatar wavers, flickers, weakens here and there, and then stabilizes again.

It's not the same.

He doesn't feel quite right in my arms. I know he can't feel me kiss him, can't feel me hold him, in the same way.

It's not right. We still need to rescue him.

But in another way? I don't give a good goddamn. We're not the same, and it doesn't matter, what matters is that it's him in my arms, one way or another. He's shaky, avatar blipping in and out.

I just hold onto him until he stabilises.

"Masato," I rumble under my breath. "You'd better not be flickering because you're terrified I'm going to propose."

My voice is full of amused affection. I have some idea about how he feels about love, and while I know he's not actually flickering for that reason? I still don't want him to worry.

I shake my head, and laugh, weakly, and smack him good, hand flat against one of his biceps. "Wasn't expecting that, you ass." I say, affectionately. Warmly.

"No." I sigh, and hold close to him, pulling back far enough to look up at him again, at his face. "No that's not why I was... wavering."

I pull back further, hands moving to his hips, gripping. I smile softly up at him, and, oh...

I miss his smell when I'd nestle in close to him. I miss the way his scent would linger, even when I'd pull back to look up at him like this.

I miss the feel of his hair between my fingers, miss the touch of his hands against my cheeks.

I miss the way he would whisper affection to me when he thought I was sleeping. Words he thought I couldn't hear.

No.

"No, I'm not flickering because of that." I sigh, and look down. "Ah, mm. Memories are too strong, sometimes."

[loveenetronkurorin]

"Ow," I say in mock pain. "No need to bring my ass into this."

He leans back a little, then back further, hands on my hips with lazy familiarity. I hate that the avatar has no scent, that I can't smell the stink of those imported cigarettes he liked to get when he had enough money. (I preferred the cheaper, but still decent brand he used to get. I didn't actually hate the imports, but it was too much fun giving him grief and watching him protest.)

...there was a time, when he was exactly like this (there were a hundred times), when he was asking me to talk to Sakurada-san about an increase in his budget over cost of living. I scoffed at him, irritated both that he'd ask and that he'd be so outrageous as to do it while he was barely wearing a towel (it'd been one of those mornings) but then he had the audacity to produce from somewhere the figures showing exactly why he needed an increase... he was right, too.

Asshole.

Somehow I seem to end up doing a lot for him when he's naked. There was another time when he even finagled me into getting coffee for him because he was too tired to put his clothes back on. I took a kiss, gave him his coffee, and about ten minutes later fed him my cock. I showed him 'tired'.

Harrumph. Anyway.

"I know what you mean," I say hoarsely, too hoarsely. I'm good at self-control normally, but he can read me. He'll know exactly what I'm thinking about.
