Who could say this wasn't exciting in its own way? It wasn't like Kai was used to being admired in any way. The hands at his back weren't new, but the way they lingered was. They didn't have anywhere to be. Kai could just melt into this for a little while, ignoring the heat crawling across his cheeks.

He exhaled softly as those careful hands worked across him. Probably this kind of simple thing shouldn't have made his heart race so fast? And yet. There it went, picking up the slack as his breath stilled with those touches at his waist.

Kai's hands drifted down, carefully settling over Shinji's. "S'nice."
