[ Minho closed his eyes as Thomas spread the oil over his skin. He wasn't sure if Thomas' talking made it more or less difficult to relax, but it was definitely making him think about how to shut him up. For now, he was content to just roll his shoulders, sigh, and attempt to make himself less tense. At least this was easier to bear than the light touch from the day before, surer somehow, more solid, but that didn't mean it wasn't still distracting. But when he stopped, trailing off like that? All bets were off.
Minho looked over his shoulder before very quickly shifting from sitting with his back to Thomas to facing him, one knee planted on the ground as he reached out. Grabbing him by the front of his shirt, Minho tugged him close enough to kiss him roughly. Just shut up for two seconds. ]
[He should be really offended. That not only he didn't get an answer to anything he had just said, but that his words went seemingly completely ignored. He should be really offended. But he wasn't. Because whatever else he had wanted to say, whatever else he was thinking about, whatever else he wanted to point out-- It was gone the moment Minho kissed him.
He only had time to blink when he turned around, hands lifting. He gasped out of surprise when he was suddenly tugged close, lips parting, eyes widening and then everything just went completely and utterly silent. Still, for about half a second, soon Thomas' eyes were closing, one hand moving to the back of Minho's neck, the other digging into the back of his hair, fingers entwining with it and tugging, ever-so-slightly. Sorry (not sorry) about the oil. He kissed him back just as roughly as he had but also somewhat needy, hungry. A new thought finally formed in his head, taking over everything else in there, filling the sudden quiet. It was possibly the simplest, easiest thing to understand that had been on his mind for weeks, now. Minho.]
[ This? This was easier than words, clearer. He'd almost worried for that half second it took Thomas to figure out how to react, but that was all lost to just tugging hands and a rough, hungry kiss that didn't leave room for thinking. Even having it returned at all made Minho grin into it, any doubts and second-guessing going right out the window. Finally. The fact that he was getting oil smeared into his hair didn't even enter his mind.
The only reason he pulled back was to give himself time for a hurried gasp of breath, and to sit back down before he kissed him again, lips parted and still as hurried, as urgent as before. He'd thought about this more than once since that moment in the maze. One hand still fisted in the other's shirt, he brought the free one up to return the favor and tug at Thomas' hair. ]
[It sent a jolt up his spine to feel that grin into their kiss. It was a feeling that he had only felt once before, that one time in the maze, and that he too had thought about more than once since. It was electrifying and it carried Thomas on, as he pressed deeper into the kiss.
It was only when Minho pulled back that Thomas realized just how fast his breathing had gotten. The air was coming in and out in quick, harsh gasps, all against Minho's lips, forehead resting against his. He had to move back a little, in order to give him room to sit down again, eyes opening in the process.
He didn't give himself time to think. He moved, as well, planting his feet on the floor and straddling his legs in order to sit more comfortably in front of the other, a leg on each side of him. Then, he met his eyes again just before closing them in time with his approach.
He met his lips readily this time, eagerly. He kissed him once, twice, sucking softly on his bottom lip before allowing his tongue to come out, in an attempt to deepen the kiss even further. All rolling on sheer instinct, just like that one time before. When that tug to his hair came, though, Thomas couldn't help but let out a muffled sound against Minho's lips, back arching and body pressing a bit more against his. The hand on his neck lowered down, moving all over his naked back, unashamedly, long fingers curling into almost-claws as if he was trying to hold on, clinging for dear life.]
[ Sorting out this tangle of limbs took way too much time, he felt, but where they ended up made it worthwhile. Even though this essentially trapped him, Minho found he liked Thomas straddling him, both the feel and the sight of it, looking him over intently before their eyes met.
Hearing that one sound just made Minho want more of them, and he finally let go of the other's shirt, his hand sliding down instead to find the hem, push it up, his hand splaying over Thomas' side before his fingers dug in. The hand moving over his back made him moan in turn, a feeling like sparks dancing down his spine while his hold loosened just for the barest instant. But then he just pushed back harder, kissing Thomas open-mouthed and hungry, running his tongue over the other's as he went to deepen it. Instinct carried him, allowed him to listen to what he wanted, what they both wanted. Not at all that complicated. ]
[Oh God, was the second coherent thought he managed to have. Or well, as close to coherent as it could get, really, given the circumstances. For someone who was constantly thinking (and over-thinking) things, it was amazing how quickly Minho managed to just shut the voice in his mind, communication coming in motion rather than thought.
It was hard to describe what that intense look did to him, but it did things, things that only made Thomas cling to Minho that much harder, kisses coming hungrier, rougher.
Their new position was better for comfort and space, though the fact that they were both sitting down was still a little bit weird. Normally, if his mind wasn't as dizzy, Thomas would have tugged Minho along, tried to get him on his knees instead, but, as it was, he was far too focused on his lips, his mouth, his tongue, to really be able to do much more than try to keep up.
That is, until that hand came to rest on his side, over his skin, making Thomas feel hot all over. And as if that wasn't enough, Minho was gracing him with a moan of his own, over something he did and - God - if that didn't send all sorts of shivers everywhere down his body. He definitely wanted more of it, too.
He pressed further against him, meeting his tongue with his, allowing the kiss to go as deep as they could possibly make it. Hand tugging on his hair again, he only stopped to be able to breathe a bit better for a few seconds before going at it once more. Eventually, he did start to breach out, kissing Minho's cheek instead, his jaw, his neck, nose trailing his chin before he caught his lips again.]
[ As far as Minho could tell, Thomas was keeping up just fine. No reservations or awkwardness or shameful hesitation. Every time he renewed his hold on Minho's back, every time his fingers dug into his healing injury even by accident it sent a shiver through him, making him gasp and arch his back. It wasn't painful, but damn if it wasn't still sensitive enough to make it difficult to keep track of what his hands were supposed to be doing.
What were they supposed to be doing? Well, one shifted along Thomas' lower back under his shirt (which, really, was beginning to annoy him just being there). The other travelled from his hair to his neck, calloused fingers moving over the soft skin of his throat before pushing at, the under the collar, digging into his shoulder.
Perhaps surprisingly, Minho moved with him easily when the other decided to scatter kisses elsewhere, tilting his head to accomodate him as Thomas kissed his jaw and neck. This also meant that any noise he made went unchecked, but that just proved to be another thing he wasn't shy about. He didn't want to stop himself, not now, especially not when the feeling of lips on the side of his neck came together with a tug at his hair. There was no reason to stifle the breathy sound rising from his chest in response. But it was a relief to be able to kiss back again, to be able to do more again, and now he wanted to return the favor.
Without thinking about it much, his lips followed the trail of his hand, down Thomas' neck to his throat just to see what would happen. ]
[There was no room for those things when it came to being with Minho, like this. He gave what he got and there was something in Minho, something safe and secure enough but also confident that, somehow, just made it easy for Thomas to go with the flow.
His head was so lost in what they were doing that he sometimes forgot where his fingers were digging, the gasps Minho made the only reminder that he should move his fingers somewhere else, which he did, most of the time, hand slowly lowering down his back.
He swallowed when that hand covered his throat and then dug into his shoulder. It crossed his mind that maybe he should take his shirt off-- If they kept this up, he could very well end up without a shirt to tell the story and, really, he couldn't exactly afford that, right now.
Yet, the thought (his third) about moving a little back in order to remove the thing off was quickly erased, mind instead focusing on the sounds Minho was making. They made his breathing hitch, slowly driving him completely insane, for lack of a better way to describe it. It was like his senses were more alive than ever. Every touch sent shivers all over his body, every sound intensively more obscene, from Minho's moans to the sloppy sounds of the way their tongues came together, the way theirs lips touched lips and skin. He could taste him in ways he hadn't before, not near as consciously as he could now; salty and burnt and addicting. And his scent was taking over him in ways that Thomas didn't even know was possible, breathing him in with every gasp of air, wanting more of it, too, surrounding him, and--
Wherever he was going with that, it all came to radio silence again, once he felt Minho's lips on his neck and throat. His breath halted, at first, and then he let out a soft moan, fingers digging into and dragging on Minho's skin, both up his back and down his hair and neck. He wanted more, and he even tilted his head a little, for that, but then...]
Wait, [He whispered, taking two deep breaths against Minho's hair before moving only slightly back.] Wait. [He repeated, eyes opening, to look at him. His own cheeks were beginning to flush with color, lips swollen and parted.] I should...
[Get this off.
But it was better doing than saying, so Thomas moved his hands to his own jacket, which he clumsily tried to shrug off, before going for his shirt, after.
[ Wait... ? At the first prompt he stilled, at the second he sat back, reluctant, his hands slow to leave the other's skin. Just looking at his face, Minho took stock of every change and detail, his heart racing and his mouth dry. Thought was such a distant thing that he didn't guess the meaning of the half-finished sentence until Thomas was shrugging off his jacket, but then all he could do was swallow thickly and nod. ] Yeah. [ It comes out breathless, quiet.
His turn to stare. Not that he hadn't seen Thomas shirtless before, but that one shower had been a completely different situation, neither of them really in any kind of shape to appreciate the view. Minho met his eyes and gave him a smirk, reaching out to set just his fingertips against the sides of Thomas ribcage, his touch light. Slowly, he moved them down his sides, never breaking eye contact. His voice was low, quiet. ] You really drove me nuts yesterday, you know that?
[ He'd never be able to keep that up, that kind of self-control. Not now that he didn't have to. But breaking the hurried pace up even for a moment seemed like an idea. ]
[He whimpered, softly, when Minho moved his hands away. It hadn't been his intention for him to actually move away, just for them to slow down the kissing a little so he could remove those layers of clothing. But well, it was done, and Thomas should probably hurry up with it.
Grabbing the hem of his shirt with both hands, he moved it up and removed it completely through his head, placing it next to his jacket on the floor. He met Minho's eyes again, then, smiling back at the smirk he was given. The touch made him shiver-- The contradiction of contradictions, given how hot it actually made him feel. He reached out, too, one hand resting, spread open, over Minho's chest, the other settling at the side of his neck.
He swallowed at the words, tongue coming out to lick his own lips.]
I might have realized. [He started, eyes going from Minho's own to his lips and back.] Midway through.
[He used the thumb of the hand resting on Minho's neck to trail over his jawline.]
[ Hearing that protesting whimper made Minho doubletake. To be wanted this much was not only new, but its own kind of thrill, and he licked his lips just waiting to get his hands back on him.
Luckily he didn't have to wait long. The shiver he could feel under his fingertips felt a little like sweet revenge. At the same time he wondered if Thomas could tell his heart was racing, with one hand placed over it like that. Under most any other circumstances he would've answered with an insult, plain and simple, but it was difficult to focus enough to make words happen. He kept getting distracted just watching Thomas' lips move. So he chuckled instead, giving the barest shake of his head in response. There was no point in asking why he hadn't said anything, or tried to do anything else. It didn't matter anyway.
Once his fingers had trailed down Thomas' sides, coming to rest at his hips, Minho leaned in again, figuring he'd start where he'd been interrupted before. He left a line of kisses down the other's neck to his collarbone, this time with no need to tug any fabric out of the way. Much better. ]
[It was reactive, rather than thought, which meant that Thomas had really felt it, too. It wasn't just a matter of touch, either (though he was learning that he really did like Minho's touch), but in spite of the fire, the room was somewhat cold, and Minho's hands were warm. Steady. Secure. Not so much in a 'protective' way - they both knew how to handle themselves just fine - but in an 'anchor' way, a way to keep Thomas on the ground rather than on the moon, up there lost in his thoughts.
To be fair, might was the keyword there. He hadn't been sure. He hadn't been sure at all. The way Minho had caught that breath in his throat made him wonder, it made him think of that day, back at the maze, but he wasn't sure if that was it, he wasn't sure if he wasn't over-thinking things or going in a completely different direction than Minho was. A lot had happened, after all. He hadn't wanted to screw things up between them. ... He still didn't. Besides, his midway through was more of a 6/7 through, which, yeah, a bit too much to be thinking about right now. Fact was, he hadn't been sure, and as given as he was to risking things, when it came to this, he was more afraid to. He didn't even know where to start. So he was glad that Minho had done it for him-- Probably sparing them from a lot of words in the beginning, too.
Once Minho got close again, the hand Thomas had on his neck returned to his hair - he liked to have it there, he found - the other remaining on his chest where he could perfectly feel his heartbeat, probably about as fast as Thomas' own. The kisses down his neck made his back arch a little, chest pressing a bit closer to Minho's, but that was when their positions really became weird, with both of them sitting down, like this. So, turning his head to the side, pressing his cheek against Minho's hair, Thomas whispered into his ear.]
Get on your knees. [It would just be easier to pull him along, after. Or so he hoped, anyway, the image was a little blurry in his mind as he tried to work it out, far too focused on how great those lips felt against his skin.]
[ The way it had turned out, sparing them both a lot of words and awkwardness, left Minho with no reason to complain at all. He was really starting to like the taste and smell of Thomas' skin, and how much he reacted to everything, both of them at least a little high on adrenaline and just each other.
The request-- order? made him stop, but not before having a shiver run down his spine. He wasn't sure what Thomas was thinking, awkward angles aside, but that didn't mean he wouldn't go along with it. Minho hummed assent against his skin but didn't want to break contact fully (again), so he placed one hand on Thomas' shoulder while putting the other on the ground, allowing him to disentangle himself. Once on his knees, Minho watched curiously, waiting to see if he had anything else in mind. ]
[Thomas found himself biting his lower lip when Minho hummed against his skin, eyes following him as he moved back. There was something to be said about the way the light from the fire in the fireplace danced above Minho's skin. It was infatuating, capturing Thomas attention for a second too long before the movement eventually made him look at Minho's eyes again.
He licked his own lips, once more, lowered the hand on his chest to his belly before moving it away completely, to rest, instead, on Minho's shoulder. He needed the extra support.
Moving closer, with the help of his feet, legs straddling Minho still, he moved until he figured it was close enough, leaning in to kiss him before slowly beginning to pull him down with him. It was much easier like this, to have Minho hovering over him, the position far more comfortable. He did curse, under his breath, when his back touched the floor - the damn thing was cold - but then he returned his focus to the other. This was already more than what they had done, that day, in the maze.]
[ Minho never faltered under the scrutiny. It did set his nerves on edge in the best of ways, having all that focus that Thomas was capable of directed at him, and this realigning gave him a chance to observe as well. He'd never had the opportunity or wanted to get this far with anybody, but so far at least, making it up as they went along was working pretty well.
He got the hint as Thomas pulled him down, helping to brace them so they didn't simply fall. Could've thought of that. Didn't. Could've thought of the blankets too, but didn't do that either, and now they were way too far away to bother with, so hopefully the fire would be plenty to warm them if they didn't manage it themselves.
Shit, what were they doing? Seeing Thomas below him like that drove the point home that this was more than he'd bargained for, expected, or hoped for, but this perspective also brought a fresh rush of heat with it. No point stalling now. Minho kissed him hard, desperately, deeply, one hand grabbing his hair again. ]
[Thomas had never gone this far with anybody, either. Not that he could remember, anyway. The memories that he had told him that he had only ever kissed two people: Minho, back at the start, and Brenda, back in the club they had ended up in, and even that, he wasn't entirely sure if it had really happened or not. Either way, it wasn't at all like what had happened between him and the boy he was currently looking at, back in the maze.
It hadn't gone as far as they were going now, though. And well, Thomas had the same question. What were they doing? He didn't know, for sure. Or well, he had an idea, of course, he knew things, but he didn't know where this would go. It was all new to him and he was hoping against hope that he was doing the right thing, that this was somehow how it was supposed to be.
... And now he was beginning to think again. So far, so good, at least, it seemed. But what if something wasn't right, what if he was supposed to have done something else, what if they should talk about this first, what if--
-- Well. There it was again. Just as his eyes drifted to an uncertain point on the floor, as he began to think, Minho captured all of his attention again with that hard, desperate and deep kiss, single-handedly throwing all conscious thoughts away from Thomas' mind.
He kissed him back, just as hard, just as desperate and deep, tongue coming out immediately instead of waiting this time. He tugged his hair once more, moved the hand on his shoulder underneath and around it instead, to rest on his back, fingertips slowly dragging down his side.
He wasn't sure if the fire would be enough to keep them warm, but having Minho so close, like this, at least, definitely made it better from before and it sort of made up for the cold of the floor, too.]
[ He'd have to work around bracing himself, but this was good. A feeling like soaring, like falling, his heart once again racing and just a touch of vertigo. There was no point trying to think his way through something he had no experience with, so Minho just kept running on instinct, and as his hand slid from Thomas' hair down his neck, curling around his throat as it went, before his fingers were fanning out over his chest, it was not particularly light or careful. Curious, though. He found he wanted to know every kind of reaction, every place to touch and how.
Pulling back from the kiss was a matter of coming up for air, but the fingers dragging down his side made each breath go in and out shuddering across the space between their lips. He didn't care, he realized, if Thomas knew that that was his doing. In fact, it seemed important that he knew. It felt good, distracting him in unfamiliar ways he was quickly learning he liked. Not that this stopped him for long before he leaned for more, always more. ]
[Thomas wished that his brain worked like Minho's, sometimes. Thankfully, it was quiet now, focused on him and nothing else, on them, and though he didn't exactly have any experience with what they were doing, either, instinct seemed to be serving them just fine.
His breathing was faster and probably not slowing down any time soon. A low sound came from his throat at the feeling of Minho's fingers over his throat and chest, the vibrations definitely touching the other's skin. And if Minho was curious... Thomas was the king of the feeling.
He whispered his name for no reason other than that being the only thing in his mind, at the breath he felt between their lips. It made him shudder, too, body pressing up, slightly, leg tilting and resting against Minho's hip. That had been his doing, making that sound come out of the other, and who would have thought knowing that would be such a turn on? It was important to know that what he was doing was not only accepted but also liked. Very much so, it seemed.
Thomas' hand remained on Minho's hair (again, he liked that), but the other rummaged around, from his side over his back and lower, to the waist band of his pants where it stopped. There was a thought there, consciously forming again, eyes meeting Minho's before-- Well, before his lips were captured again and he let out another muffled sound into their kiss, body arching up yet again.]
[ Every reaction he recieved was a reward, from the sound he heard and felt against his palm to every responsive shift of his body. And, shit, hearing Thomas say his name like that? He brought a low, hungry sound into the kiss, shifting his hand to his back where it was arching up off the floor, holding him there just to give himself a moment more to grind down against him.
Minho groaned against him, coherent thought far gone for a moment. Pulling away panting, he tried to catch the other's eyes, gauge his response. This was all going faster and farther than they had planned for. Even if the hand settling at the waistband of his pants suggested they were on the same page, at least checking first seemed like an idea-- Keep going? ]
[He hummed into the kiss, in response to the sound Minho made. The hand on his back was very welcome, helping him stay up for a moment before-- Well. It was his time to moan into the kiss, lips parting, fingers clawing at Minho's back. The grinding was like nothing he had ever felt before. It was good in a way he couldn't quite describe, setting fire to his body, making him want more. So much, much more.
He only had time to catch Minho's eyes briefly, once they parted, nose immediately moving to the crook of his neck, hiding the redness of his face as he breathed heavily against his skin. He sought the feeling, moving his hips up a little in order to try and grind against him again while holding on to him. The unspoken question, though, had been registered, and after a moment, once his brain managed to catch up, Thomas' hand went back to work.
He tried to go past the waist band at first, palm pressing against the small of Minho's back while he kissed his neck, ever so softly. Yet, it proved to be a little too tight for him to be able to move his hand comfortably. He'd have to unbutton and unzip his pants first-- Which meant that he needed to rest his back against the floor again, to be able to focus.]
[ Minho chose to interpret his response as a resounding enthusiastic yes, loving the friction as much as Thomas' reaction to it. And while he could only catch a short look at the flush on his face, hiding it like that gave Minho very easy access to his neck as well. He set his teeth against a place where he could feel the other's pulse, gently, before placing a kiss there instead.
It wasn't difficult to get the picture, since he could feel that the hand at his back had far too little room to work with, but he couldn't resist rolling his hips down again to meet him, first. Too good to pass up. He let out a breathless groan, barely muffled this time, followed by a whispered curse, and his fingers curled without him ever thinking about it. But then he shifted his hand from Thomas' back to his hip, raising his own body up a little to give them enough space. ]
[-- Okay, so he really liked the feeling of those teeth on his neck, too, as well as that soft kiss that followed. It was always interesting, learning these things about oneself, things he had no idea at all before. The way it gave him goosebumps, made him gasp against Minho's skin. Before being able to fully register what had caused said reaction, though, Minho was rolling his hips down again to meet him and Thomas just.
He groaned, this time, back arching again, head moving back a little, toes curling inside his shoes. The sounds Minho was making only turned him on more, the whispered curse making him want to go after the feeling again, more touch, more pressure - Don't stop - more friction. But then Minho was moving his hand, making it harder for Thomas to hold himself up. He looked up at him, confused for a second, face flush, and his brain finally caught on.
Right. He had to-- His eyes covered the distance, all the way from Minho's eyes to his waist, and it was Thomas' turn to curse under his breath. He moved both his hands away from where they were, reluctantly, a mess of fingers trying to get rid of his belt. He couldn't help but bite his lower lip as he worked, eyes doing their best to stay focused on what his fingers were struggling to do.]
[ There was something about making Thomas of all people completely lose track of what he was doing that had Minho smirking down at him. Licking his lips, he found it was tempting to try and distract him again. But, well. That would make everything need more time. Neither of them wanted that.
Besides, they both needed to make pants less of an obstacle. Here he had the advantage of not wearing a belt, and the angle being a lot less awkward as he sat back a little. He didn't like having to sacrifice any point of contact, but it wouldn't be for long. With them a little further apart, breathing was easier, and once his pants were open, a little easier still, but he still didn't like all that space between them.
As soon as he had his hands free again, one of them slid along the outside of Thomas' thigh. ]
[It was a relief when he finally managed to open Minho's pants. He pulled them down a little, as much as he could in the position he was in, hoping the other would do the rest.
That meant that he still had his own pants on, and although they weren't terribly tight, they were becoming a little uncomfortable. He looked, from Minho to himself and wondered if he should start working on unbuckling his own pants, too, when the hand on the outside of his thigh caught his attention.
He swallowed, licking his lips as well before looking at Minho's eyes.]
[ Should? Well. Minho let out a huff of breath that could've been a laugh, a grin briefly passing over his features. Nodded, finally. ]
If you want.
[ Only then, though. He just wanted-- more, not particularly sure what that would mean in practice. He hooked his thumbs in the waistband of his pants, throat suddenly feeling tight. ]

Minho looked over his shoulder before very quickly shifting from sitting with his back to Thomas to facing him, one knee planted on the ground as he reached out. Grabbing him by the front of his shirt, Minho tugged him close enough to kiss him roughly. Just shut up for two seconds. ]
no subject
He only had time to blink when he turned around, hands lifting. He gasped out of surprise when he was suddenly tugged close, lips parting, eyes widening and then everything just went completely and utterly silent. Still, for about half a second, soon Thomas' eyes were closing, one hand moving to the back of Minho's neck, the other digging into the back of his hair, fingers entwining with it and tugging, ever-so-slightly. Sorry (not sorry) about the oil. He kissed him back just as roughly as he had but also somewhat needy, hungry. A new thought finally formed in his head, taking over everything else in there, filling the sudden quiet. It was possibly the simplest, easiest thing to understand that had been on his mind for weeks, now. Minho.]
no subject
The only reason he pulled back was to give himself time for a hurried gasp of breath, and to sit back down before he kissed him again, lips parted and still as hurried, as urgent as before. He'd thought about this more than once since that moment in the maze.
One hand still fisted in the other's shirt, he brought the free one up to return the favor and tug at Thomas' hair. ]
no subject
It was only when Minho pulled back that Thomas realized just how fast his breathing had gotten. The air was coming in and out in quick, harsh gasps, all against Minho's lips, forehead resting against his. He had to move back a little, in order to give him room to sit down again, eyes opening in the process.
He didn't give himself time to think. He moved, as well, planting his feet on the floor and straddling his legs in order to sit more comfortably in front of the other, a leg on each side of him. Then, he met his eyes again just before closing them in time with his approach.
He met his lips readily this time, eagerly. He kissed him once, twice, sucking softly on his bottom lip before allowing his tongue to come out, in an attempt to deepen the kiss even further. All rolling on sheer instinct, just like that one time before. When that tug to his hair came, though, Thomas couldn't help but let out a muffled sound against Minho's lips, back arching and body pressing a bit more against his. The hand on his neck lowered down, moving all over his naked back, unashamedly, long fingers curling into almost-claws as if he was trying to hold on, clinging for dear life.]
no subject
Hearing that one sound just made Minho want more of them, and he finally let go of the other's shirt, his hand sliding down instead to find the hem, push it up, his hand splaying over Thomas' side before his fingers dug in. The hand moving over his back made him moan in turn, a feeling like sparks dancing down his spine while his hold loosened just for the barest instant. But then he just pushed back harder, kissing Thomas open-mouthed and hungry, running his tongue over the other's as he went to deepen it. Instinct carried him, allowed him to listen to what he wanted, what they both wanted. Not at all that complicated. ]
no subject
It was hard to describe what that intense look did to him, but it did things, things that only made Thomas cling to Minho that much harder, kisses coming hungrier, rougher.
Their new position was better for comfort and space, though the fact that they were both sitting down was still a little bit weird. Normally, if his mind wasn't as dizzy, Thomas would have tugged Minho along, tried to get him on his knees instead, but, as it was, he was far too focused on his lips, his mouth, his tongue, to really be able to do much more than try to keep up.
That is, until that hand came to rest on his side, over his skin, making Thomas feel hot all over. And as if that wasn't enough, Minho was gracing him with a moan of his own, over something he did and - God - if that didn't send all sorts of shivers everywhere down his body. He definitely wanted more of it, too.
He pressed further against him, meeting his tongue with his, allowing the kiss to go as deep as they could possibly make it. Hand tugging on his hair again, he only stopped to be able to breathe a bit better for a few seconds before going at it once more. Eventually, he did start to breach out, kissing Minho's cheek instead, his jaw, his neck, nose trailing his chin before he caught his lips again.]

What were they supposed to be doing? Well, one shifted along Thomas' lower back under his shirt (which, really, was beginning to annoy him just being there). The other travelled from his hair to his neck, calloused fingers moving over the soft skin of his throat before pushing at, the under the collar, digging into his shoulder.
Perhaps surprisingly, Minho moved with him easily when the other decided to scatter kisses elsewhere, tilting his head to accomodate him as Thomas kissed his jaw and neck. This also meant that any noise he made went unchecked, but that just proved to be another thing he wasn't shy about. He didn't want to stop himself, not now, especially not when the feeling of lips on the side of his neck came together with a tug at his hair. There was no reason to stifle the breathy sound rising from his chest in response. But it was a relief to be able to kiss back again, to be able to do more again, and now he wanted to return the favor.
Without thinking about it much, his lips followed the trail of his hand, down Thomas' neck to his throat just to see what would happen. ]

His head was so lost in what they were doing that he sometimes forgot where his fingers were digging, the gasps Minho made the only reminder that he should move his fingers somewhere else, which he did, most of the time, hand slowly lowering down his back.
He swallowed when that hand covered his throat and then dug into his shoulder. It crossed his mind that maybe he should take his shirt off-- If they kept this up, he could very well end up without a shirt to tell the story and, really, he couldn't exactly afford that, right now.
Yet, the thought (his third) about moving a little back in order to remove the thing off was quickly erased, mind instead focusing on the sounds Minho was making. They made his breathing hitch, slowly driving him completely insane, for lack of a better way to describe it. It was like his senses were more alive than ever. Every touch sent shivers all over his body, every sound intensively more obscene, from Minho's moans to the sloppy sounds of the way their tongues came together, the way theirs lips touched lips and skin. He could taste him in ways he hadn't before, not near as consciously as he could now; salty and burnt and addicting. And his scent was taking over him in ways that Thomas didn't even know was possible, breathing him in with every gasp of air, wanting more of it, too, surrounding him, and--
Wherever he was going with that, it all came to radio silence again, once he felt Minho's lips on his neck and throat. His breath halted, at first, and then he let out a soft moan, fingers digging into and dragging on Minho's skin, both up his back and down his hair and neck. He wanted more, and he even tilted his head a little, for that, but then...]
Wait, [He whispered, taking two deep breaths against Minho's hair before moving only slightly back.] Wait. [He repeated, eyes opening, to look at him. His own cheeks were beginning to flush with color, lips swollen and parted.] I should...
[Get this off.
But it was better doing than saying, so Thomas moved his hands to his own jacket, which he clumsily tried to shrug off, before going for his shirt, after.
It was better this way, right?]

His turn to stare. Not that he hadn't seen Thomas shirtless before, but that one shower had been a completely different situation, neither of them really in any kind of shape to appreciate the view. Minho met his eyes and gave him a smirk, reaching out to set just his fingertips against the sides of Thomas ribcage, his touch light. Slowly, he moved them down his sides, never breaking eye contact. His voice was low, quiet. ] You really drove me nuts yesterday, you know that?
[ He'd never be able to keep that up, that kind of self-control. Not now that he didn't have to. But breaking the hurried pace up even for a moment seemed like an idea. ]

Grabbing the hem of his shirt with both hands, he moved it up and removed it completely through his head, placing it next to his jacket on the floor. He met Minho's eyes again, then, smiling back at the smirk he was given. The touch made him shiver-- The contradiction of contradictions, given how hot it actually made him feel. He reached out, too, one hand resting, spread open, over Minho's chest, the other settling at the side of his neck.
He swallowed at the words, tongue coming out to lick his own lips.]
I might have realized. [He started, eyes going from Minho's own to his lips and back.] Midway through.
[He used the thumb of the hand resting on Minho's neck to trail over his jawline.]
no subject
Luckily he didn't have to wait long. The shiver he could feel under his fingertips felt a little like sweet revenge. At the same time he wondered if Thomas could tell his heart was racing, with one hand placed over it like that. Under most any other circumstances he would've answered with an insult, plain and simple, but it was difficult to focus enough to make words happen. He kept getting distracted just watching Thomas' lips move. So he chuckled instead, giving the barest shake of his head in response. There was no point in asking why he hadn't said anything, or tried to do anything else. It didn't matter anyway.
Once his fingers had trailed down Thomas' sides, coming to rest at his hips, Minho leaned in again, figuring he'd start where he'd been interrupted before. He left a line of kisses down the other's neck to his collarbone, this time with no need to tug any fabric out of the way. Much better. ]
no subject
To be fair, might was the keyword there. He hadn't been sure. He hadn't been sure at all. The way Minho had caught that breath in his throat made him wonder, it made him think of that day, back at the maze, but he wasn't sure if that was it, he wasn't sure if he wasn't over-thinking things or going in a completely different direction than Minho was. A lot had happened, after all. He hadn't wanted to screw things up between them. ... He still didn't. Besides, his midway through was more of a 6/7 through, which, yeah, a bit too much to be thinking about right now. Fact was, he hadn't been sure, and as given as he was to risking things, when it came to this, he was more afraid to. He didn't even know where to start. So he was glad that Minho had done it for him-- Probably sparing them from a lot of words in the beginning, too.
Once Minho got close again, the hand Thomas had on his neck returned to his hair - he liked to have it there, he found - the other remaining on his chest where he could perfectly feel his heartbeat, probably about as fast as Thomas' own. The kisses down his neck made his back arch a little, chest pressing a bit closer to Minho's, but that was when their positions really became weird, with both of them sitting down, like this. So, turning his head to the side, pressing his cheek against Minho's hair, Thomas whispered into his ear.]
Get on your knees. [It would just be easier to pull him along, after. Or so he hoped, anyway, the image was a little blurry in his mind as he tried to work it out, far too focused on how great those lips felt against his skin.]
no subject
The request-- order? made him stop, but not before having a shiver run down his spine. He wasn't sure what Thomas was thinking, awkward angles aside, but that didn't mean he wouldn't go along with it. Minho hummed assent against his skin but didn't want to break contact fully (again), so he placed one hand on Thomas' shoulder while putting the other on the ground, allowing him to disentangle himself. Once on his knees, Minho watched curiously, waiting to see if he had anything else in mind. ]
no subject
He licked his own lips, once more, lowered the hand on his chest to his belly before moving it away completely, to rest, instead, on Minho's shoulder. He needed the extra support.
Moving closer, with the help of his feet, legs straddling Minho still, he moved until he figured it was close enough, leaning in to kiss him before slowly beginning to pull him down with him. It was much easier like this, to have Minho hovering over him, the position far more comfortable. He did curse, under his breath, when his back touched the floor - the damn thing was cold - but then he returned his focus to the other. This was already more than what they had done, that day, in the maze.]
no subject
He got the hint as Thomas pulled him down, helping to brace them so they didn't simply fall. Could've thought of that. Didn't. Could've thought of the blankets too, but didn't do that either, and now they were way too far away to bother with, so hopefully the fire would be plenty to warm them if they didn't manage it themselves.
Shit, what were they doing? Seeing Thomas below him like that drove the point home that this was more than he'd bargained for, expected, or hoped for, but this perspective also brought a fresh rush of heat with it. No point stalling now. Minho kissed him hard, desperately, deeply, one hand grabbing his hair again. ]
no subject
It hadn't gone as far as they were going now, though. And well, Thomas had the same question. What were they doing? He didn't know, for sure. Or well, he had an idea, of course, he knew things, but he didn't know where this would go. It was all new to him and he was hoping against hope that he was doing the right thing, that this was somehow how it was supposed to be.
... And now he was beginning to think again. So far, so good, at least, it seemed. But what if something wasn't right, what if he was supposed to have done something else, what if they should talk about this first, what if--
-- Well. There it was again. Just as his eyes drifted to an uncertain point on the floor, as he began to think, Minho captured all of his attention again with that hard, desperate and deep kiss, single-handedly throwing all conscious thoughts away from Thomas' mind.
He kissed him back, just as hard, just as desperate and deep, tongue coming out immediately instead of waiting this time. He tugged his hair once more, moved the hand on his shoulder underneath and around it instead, to rest on his back, fingertips slowly dragging down his side.
He wasn't sure if the fire would be enough to keep them warm, but having Minho so close, like this, at least, definitely made it better from before and it sort of made up for the cold of the floor, too.]
no subject
Pulling back from the kiss was a matter of coming up for air, but the fingers dragging down his side made each breath go in and out shuddering across the space between their lips. He didn't care, he realized, if Thomas knew that that was his doing. In fact, it seemed important that he knew. It felt good, distracting him in unfamiliar ways he was quickly learning he liked. Not that this stopped him for long before he leaned for more, always more. ]
no subject
His breathing was faster and probably not slowing down any time soon. A low sound came from his throat at the feeling of Minho's fingers over his throat and chest, the vibrations definitely touching the other's skin. And if Minho was curious... Thomas was the king of the feeling.
He whispered his name for no reason other than that being the only thing in his mind, at the breath he felt between their lips. It made him shudder, too, body pressing up, slightly, leg tilting and resting against Minho's hip. That had been his doing, making that sound come out of the other, and who would have thought knowing that would be such a turn on? It was important to know that what he was doing was not only accepted but also liked. Very much so, it seemed.
Thomas' hand remained on Minho's hair (again, he liked that), but the other rummaged around, from his side over his back and lower, to the waist band of his pants where it stopped. There was a thought there, consciously forming again, eyes meeting Minho's before-- Well, before his lips were captured again and he let out another muffled sound into their kiss, body arching up yet again.]
no subject
Minho groaned against him, coherent thought far gone for a moment. Pulling away panting, he tried to catch the other's eyes, gauge his response. This was all going faster and farther than they had planned for. Even if the hand settling at the waistband of his pants suggested they were on the same page, at least checking first seemed like an idea-- Keep going? ]
no subject
He only had time to catch Minho's eyes briefly, once they parted, nose immediately moving to the crook of his neck, hiding the redness of his face as he breathed heavily against his skin. He sought the feeling, moving his hips up a little in order to try and grind against him again while holding on to him. The unspoken question, though, had been registered, and after a moment, once his brain managed to catch up, Thomas' hand went back to work.
He tried to go past the waist band at first, palm pressing against the small of Minho's back while he kissed his neck, ever so softly. Yet, it proved to be a little too tight for him to be able to move his hand comfortably. He'd have to unbutton and unzip his pants first-- Which meant that he needed to rest his back against the floor again, to be able to focus.]
no subject
It wasn't difficult to get the picture, since he could feel that the hand at his back had far too little room to work with, but he couldn't resist rolling his hips down again to meet him, first. Too good to pass up. He let out a breathless groan, barely muffled this time, followed by a whispered curse, and his fingers curled without him ever thinking about it. But then he shifted his hand from Thomas' back to his hip, raising his own body up a little to give them enough space. ]
no subject
He groaned, this time, back arching again, head moving back a little, toes curling inside his shoes. The sounds Minho was making only turned him on more, the whispered curse making him want to go after the feeling again, more touch, more pressure - Don't stop - more friction. But then Minho was moving his hand, making it harder for Thomas to hold himself up. He looked up at him, confused for a second, face flush, and his brain finally caught on.
Right. He had to-- His eyes covered the distance, all the way from Minho's eyes to his waist, and it was Thomas' turn to curse under his breath. He moved both his hands away from where they were, reluctantly, a mess of fingers trying to get rid of his belt. He couldn't help but bite his lower lip as he worked, eyes doing their best to stay focused on what his fingers were struggling to do.]
no subject
Besides, they both needed to make pants less of an obstacle. Here he had the advantage of not wearing a belt, and the angle being a lot less awkward as he sat back a little. He didn't like having to sacrifice any point of contact, but it wouldn't be for long. With them a little further apart, breathing was easier, and once his pants were open, a little easier still, but he still didn't like all that space between them.
As soon as he had his hands free again, one of them slid along the outside of Thomas' thigh. ]
no subject
That meant that he still had his own pants on, and although they weren't terribly tight, they were becoming a little uncomfortable. He looked, from Minho to himself and wondered if he should start working on unbuckling his own pants, too, when the hand on the outside of his thigh caught his attention.
He swallowed, licking his lips as well before looking at Minho's eyes.]
... Should I?
no subject
If you want.
[ Only then, though. He just wanted-- more, not particularly sure what that would mean in practice. He hooked his thumbs in the waistband of his pants, throat suddenly feeling tight. ]
