Aren't people gonna wonder why their favourite pharmacist is smoking?

[ but it's a rhetorical question, because he's getting up to go out, opening the door for him so that they can head out and away.

he's leaning against a railing, settling near a cosy little spot with a good view of the city, and he's offering him a cigarette, lighting his own. ]

[inthebuilding]

Are they, though? [ Like he's skeptical anyone would miss him. He sets out a small sign on the counter top to let any potential passerby know that he'll be out for a whopping ten minutes, but otherwise follows Kogami without hitch. He hadn't expected a free cigarette, so just as he'd reached to take out one of his own, he stops to accept the he's given. A thankful smile. He watches Kogami and the silvery sky behind him. The air is cold, but crisp and easy to breathe. ]

Thank you, Flirtatious Bento Delivery Boy.

[dissimilates]

You're welcome, Clinic's Industriously Handsomest Pharmacist.

[ kogami's grin is lopsided, roguish, and easy as you please, he reaches out to cradle the back of jyuto's neck loosely, leaning in to touch the tip of his lit cigarette to his.

it's lazy but intimate, his thumb lightly resting on the patch of skin behind his earlobe as amber tips glow, reflected in the vivid green of his eyes. their foreheads touch now; it's almost a kiss. ]

[ The tip of Jyuto's cigarette catches after a moment, burning orange spreading. Jyuto laughs inaudibly, fresh, grey smoke falling out of his smile. His eyes flicker up to look at Kogami once, savoring the moment of proximity, and then back down the stem of his cigarette. Ugh, he's so bad at receiving affection. He feigns grace before gently drawing away. The scent of tobacco drifts them by. ]

Have you discovered a cigarette brand you like here, yet?

[dissimilates]

[ it's endearing, jyuto's inaudible chuckle and the sparks when their eyes meet. he appreciates it, kogami realises, but then he's gently drawing away, and kogami lets him. he's fascinated by this man, the way he averts his pretty eyes; kogami knows there's steel underneath, but this moment, well -- this moment is poignant with words unspoken, and kogami lets it be.

he exhales, then holds out the crumpled pack to him. it reads 'spinet', an unassuming grey-green box. ] This one, I suppose. What about you? Found yours yet?

[inthebuilding]

Not yet. [ Jyuto reaches for the bent box, curious of the name. Maybe he'll buy this one too, next time. Without loyalty to anything specific, perhaps Kogami's tastes can answer for his own. ] Where have you been cramming this? It's so crumpled, you're going to ruin all the cigarettes inside. [ Mild nagging, but he isn't actually upset. Jyuto's only teasing Kogami for his mistreatment of the box because that's one habitual way he attempts to flirt— ]

[dissimilates]

I just put it anywhere I can squeeze it in.

[ it's endearing, the mild nagging when jyuto has his crumpled box of cigarettes -- kogami's never really been known to take care of stuff well. grinning at the gentle chiding and appreciating this other facet of jyuto, he playfully flirts right back: ]

Maybe you can keep it safe for me.

[inthebuilding]

You think you'll be all right with them on another person? With how many you go through... don't think I didn't notice the ash tray in your cabin. [ There were so many stubs, lining the rim. Either Kogami's too lazy to clean or he's sitting there smoking one after another, after another... ]

[dissimilates]

Gives me more excuses to come and see you.

[ :)

also no he really is a degenerate chainsmoker. ]

[inthebuilding]

You don't need excuses. Just come see me. [ He takes a drag. Jyuto's heart feels full. ]
We can try it, but I think you'll hate me for it later when you're deprived of nicotine. You know I can't resist making you squirm a little.

[dissimilates]

[ kogami chuckles, feeling just as warm -- it's been awhile since he's felt like this. he takes another long drag, then exhales. mm, he does remember what happened when they'd spent christmas together. incredible times. ]

I like it when you drag it out. Does this mean I can come see you tonight?

[inthebuilding]

That depends. Can I trust you not to keep me from my studies?
[ Playful, testy. Really, he doesn't think he can. The two of them don't get off each other when they let themselves start. ]

[dissimilates]

I'd be lying if I said yes.

[ kogami's pretty done with his cigarette, and he stubs it out before sleekly reaching for his tie to pull him close. even now, jyuto is irresistible.

then, wickedly, he smiles and comes closer, inches from each other. ]

So, yes.

[inthebuilding]

[ It's nice to be close again. Jyuto tries not to look too interested in Kogami (which is honestly a difficult feat), glasses catching some light as he flickers his gaze down to the soft grip on his tie. Jyuto's cigarette is still dangling between his lips, and he lowers it before exhaling some smoke, slanting his lips so that the cloud is expelled to the side and not in Kogami's face. He smirks. ]

Then no.

[dissimilates]

[ he loves it, when jyuto's so playful and plays hard to get that he can't help but lean in to press a soft, chaste kiss over the curve of that smirk. ]

I understand. I shouldn't corrupt the good, studious student.

[inthebuilding]

[ The smirk becomes less mean when he's kissed. Jyuto has so much fun with Kogami. ]

Correct. Now unhand me, fiend. [ He drops his cigarette and pushes Kogami's chest away from himself like a coy school girl on a playground. ]

[dissimilates]

[ kogami's grinning as he steps back, leaning against the rail now. ]

Ah, now this fiend's lonely.

[inthebuilding]

You gave up so easily. [ Jyuto grinds out his cigarette, amused by Kogami's mild theatrics. ]

[dissimilates]

Oh, so you didn't want to be unhanded?

[ but a little push and pull is always fun -- kogami can't remember the last time he's enjoyed a playful little session. he's grasping the end of his tie again, pulling him closer this time, a twinkle of humor in blue-gray eyes. ]

[inthebuilding]

I didn't say that. [ But Kogami is right. Jyuto doesn't want to get back to work yet. He only has a few more minutes to spare, and he wants to spend them with Kogami. As he's reeled closer, his two hands find the railing and sort of gate Kogami in place before him. ]

But what I will say is that I don't like men who give up their pursuit. [ The exact opposite of what Kogami is. ]

[dissimilates]

Then I'll keep chasing you.

[ he might be trapped in place by those lean arms and jyuto's intensity, but he wants to be there -- and so his hands come to rest lightly on those lean hips; kogami remembers leaving bruises on them. ]

Although we'll need a safe word if you really want me to stop.

[inthebuilding]

[ A safe word? Jyuto hadn't thought of that. ]
Aw, you mean a slap in the face doesn't sound as appealing? [ Teasing. He leans into Kogami's figure, lazily. No one's here to see them being totally gay by this railing, so it's fine. ] What kind of word do you have in mind? Maybe traffic light colors?

[dissimilates]

[ who cares if people see them totally gay by this railing? the moonlacing is comfortable, intimate, and his arms absently come to wrap around him. ]

Traffic light colours. [ he agrees, pressing his forehead to his as he smiles faintly, nose brushing against his cheek. ]

Green?

[inthebuilding]

Green. [ Cute. ]
We both smell the same now. [ He means the cigarette smoke. ]

[dissimilates]

We do.

[ it's such a small, strange thing, but kogami wonders if jyuto will buy the same brand of cigarettes -- won't that be interesting? he takes the chance, shifts his head to capture his mouth in a languid kiss, tasting just a little of jyuto for himself. ]

I like it.
