Kai couldn't help but grin over that response. "Sure is," he replied warmly, just completely charmed at how this was suddenly going. The perfect middle of (hopefully) making her feel good but also flustering the hell out of her. Excellent.
"Not bad though, is it?" Because he was still teasing her through her shirt as he tipped his head to kiss along her jaw.
"N--" Her breath hitched again, but she tilted her head back for his kiss. "Not bad." There hadn't been another of those sweet shocks coursing through her yet, but now she was noticing the warmth that had been building up all this time, and it left her dizzy. "But it's--kinda embarrassing," she managed to tell him at last.
"...Is it?" He lifted his head a bit to peek at her. He was genuinely curious about that. Like, beyond the fluster kind of embarrassing? "S'just me though."
It was in face mostly the fluster kind of embarrassing--she would say she was humiliated or anything--but jeez. Kaito. Stop being so dumb all the time!
"'Cause it's you!" she whined. "There's no 'just' you!!"
Kai stared at her, the picture of befuddlement. Why because him!! "Cuz... it's working?" He paused, pursing his lips a moment cuz he knew that was the wrong thing to ask. "Or I could just kiss you again so you don't have to think about it."
"'Cause I like you!!" And now she had embarrassed herself all on her own. Having reached peak whine, she fell back into muttery mumbles, cheeks flushed dark. "Just kiss me again." Truly the best possible course of action.
Oh. Oh. Probably this had to do with some of those extra steps of building up to a relationship that Kai had just... skipped. Mostly. Yes, Kai, it was true. You were the idiot. He opened his mouth, closed it, and just went ahead and pushed himself up to quickly grace her with a soft smooch. Kiss first, apologies second.
"Sorry you've got an idiot in love with you. S'probably rough."
Kyoko received the kiss gratefully, though her cheeks still puffed a bit, suggesting a pout when he pulled back to lay those sweet words on her. "It's rough," she confirmed. "I'm probably going to die soon, if you keep saying things like that and touching me at the same."
Cute. Kai puffed out a laugh, dipping down to smooch her collar. "That's not how that combo is supposed to go though. Maybe try not to die." Cause he was picking up where he left off, gently cupping her in his palm as his kisses trailed lower bit by bit.
Oh. Where were those kisses headed? There was only so much skin exposed above her shirt, Kai, you were going to run out soon. How was she supposed to think about all that and focus on not dying? "I can't help it, though," she mumbled, head clouded with the heat.
The easy thing would be to just stop thinking, clearly. Doing just that had made him realize that oh, you know what? Kisses could go anywhere. Things like shirts did not have to be a deterrent at all. If he wanted to slip past the swoop of her neckline... he could. And he did. There he went.
How strange, that having the sensation of those kisses muted by clothes did nothing to lessen the fluster. Maybe because now she truly couldn't guess where he might be going? His map was so different from hers. "Kaito," she murmured helplessly, her hands fumbling to find purchase in his hair. "Kaito, where--?"
The sweep of her fingers in his hair only served to encourage both the heat in his belly and the path he was taking. He hummed again in response, pressing his lips to the gentle swell of her chest. There was a whole side that'd been neglected this whole time, and that wouldn't do at all. He was just going to make some very soft suggestions about what was within the realms of possibility when they weren't moving quite so slowly.
She gasped softly as his mouth pressed so warmly against her chest, her fingers already curling in his hair. Somehow, it was even more sensitive over there than she'd expected--how did he do that? "Kaito," she called softly, though it was hard to remember what she wanted to say. "I... I need, I need to know--where--"
He was a bit surprised about how effective this all was too-- not that he was complaining. That soft call of his name was going to live right there in his thoughts forever, thank you. More of that, more of those unthinking tugs at his scalp to keep him right here in the moment. She had needs! Attend to them! She needed to know where? No problem.
"Right here," he offered in a low rumble before he placed another kiss. "Here too..." Another kiss. "...And here..." One more, soft and warm against her other nipple. At least where he was pretty sure was her nipple, based on where his thumb was tracing over there.
Where was he going, where did he intend to stop--that was what she'd been trying to ask, before his teasing sent her right over the edge. There was a deep, shuddering tremble, as a second shock rushed through her, an almost squeaky gasp bursting out of her.
Hands leaving his hair to cup his cheeks, Kyoko pulled Kaito's face up as she pushed herself onto her elbows. "--! I'm already dead!!"
"Ah... Can't have that." That'd be a real poor turn of events. The only thing for it was shifting over beside her for the big spooning. Don't you go anywhere, soul, get right back in that body. Maybe the very innocent arm around her middle would be enough to keep it in place.
She hadn't really gone far--her legs hadn't even untangled from his--but it was a relief anyway when he followed her. Settling into his arms, her back against his chest, Kyoko turned her blushing face down into the pillow.
Kai hummed as she settled in, pressing a little kiss to her shoulder. "S'okay. I was getting a lil carried away. Probably would've needed to take a break soon anyway."
Kyoko was quiet for a good moment or two, finally settling down and catching up with herself. Yes--she was right, that had been pretty much the absolute limit of what she was capable of, at least for now. To be honest, she'd been kind of surprised at how readily Kaito had gone for it. But she was even more surprised at herself for being so into it.
Slipping a hand down over the arm that held her, until she could thread her fingers through his, she murmured, "... It was nice, though."
"Mm... I'm glad." He thought she'd been getting into it, it was good to hear he hadn't been wrong about that. He wasn't going to forget the pitch of her gasps any time soon after all. Giving her fingers a squeeze, he nodded.
