we got to get right back to where we started from

[morningpeacock]

Where: Hokage Tower, Obito's office.
When: Dec 20th.
Notes: possibly NSFW. Can't be sure yet. Nah, looked like it's definitely NSFW. They're going there.


Gai had been working on his resolutions, first in anticipation of what to write to his father on the lantern, and now in preparation of the New Year. Usually, most of Gai's resolutions were focused solely on himself, and nearly all of them were things he had control over the outcome, but sometimes...sometimes they were things he required another person for.

☐ Be a better boyfriend.

To be honest, he wasn't sure how to be that, but he was definitely going to try. His resolution list in his notebook at home included self-suggestions on how to improve:

      • invest in more time with them
      • behave do not intrude on matters that do not concern you (they do not all concern you)
      • be more affectionate
      • say 'I love you' more often
      • hold their hands
      • strive to learn something new about them each time you see them
      • more challenges
      • be nicer to Yamato their friends
      • take them out on dates/excusions/lunches
      • renew kissing practice?

And it was that last one that had Gai here now, because while the ball was in his court for most of the others, kissing practice was something Obito had to want again too. They hadn't exactly done much of that since becoming boyfriends and he felt a little selfish wanting that back so badly. After all, kissing was not all he saw in Obito and he did not want his friend to think that was all he was here for, but...

He missed it. Kissing Obito had been like challenging Kakashi: a perfect excuse for being together. And kissing Obito had been really, really wonderful, too. He made Gai's heart flutter with excitement, took his breath away--

Surely Obito, who liked kissing people and flirting with people and all of that, would want kissing practice back, right? That was what he hoped, at least.

Gai knocked on the door to Obito's office and then peeked in. "Hokage-sama! When you are not busy, may I speak to you about something personal?"

He smirked, then planted his hands on the small of his back. He didn't actually want to tempt the man into more public displays of that extent after all. It was harder to properly take the man in when he was worried someone would come wandering in, as much of a rush as that had been. "Wouldn't want that."

[morningpeacock]

Gai laughed. Obito was just as charming upside down.

As they approached Obito's apartment, the ANBU guards monitoring the location seemed to be wondering just why their Hokage was being carried home with such urgency and if this was an emergency they should worry about. Gai gave them thumbs up, hoped for no questions (or that Obito would answer the truly embarrassing ones), and set to work on the seals at the window. Once it was open, he carried Obito inside.

[thebestuchiha]

He quickly waved the ANBU down with a blush and was pretty sure that they figured out the direction of things given how quickly they backed off into the woodwork.

As soon as they were inside, he squirmed. "Okay, now what's your plan?"

[morningpeacock]

Those poor ANBU.

"My plan? I thought you said you had a plan!!" He thought he had a plan of his own, but now he was kind of flustered at being asked! He was supposed yo talk about it? How, when his face was a deep red. Obito squirming did not help his thoughts either. "Hmph! Carrying you to bed, maybe!"

[thebestuchiha]

"Determined to hang onto me?" He gave another squirm and hs hands slid back down. "But I can't do anything from here... so maybe you should walk quickly mm?"

He kicked off his shoes while Gai was stalled by the window.

[morningpeacock]

"Always!" Gai squirmed as well and closed the window behind them before starting for Obito's bedroom.

"Hmph! You need to learn to be patient! Perhaps I will walk slowly just because!"

[thebestuchiha]

"I'm pretty sure I can find things to entertain me." He shifted, flexing his hands and shifting his weight so he was more upright than dangling.

[morningpeacock]

"As much as I would like to see that..." And would he ever. He pushed the door open and stopped now at the foot of the bed.

Gai took a deep breath. ...Obito's bed.

No...do not get emotional now, he told himself, and he carefully lowered Obito off his shoulder and down to stand on his own.

[thebestuchiha]

He peered up at his face, sobering for a moment as he studied his face. He didn't see anything that implied they were stopping now though so... he stepped away, then shrugged his robe off and draped it over his chair. "That's better, yeah?"

[morningpeacock]

Gai smiled and nodded, unable to take his eyes off Obito. "Much better," he agreed, kicking off his own shoes and then dropping his vest onto the same chair as he stepped closer.

[thebestuchiha]

How to break the new tension that wanted to set in... hmmmm....

"Much much better." He then stepped in close, humming in a breath.

Then he ducked under his arm with a little smirk and ran his hands down his back.

[morningpeacock]

Evasive again! But Gai melted under his touch, pressing back into those hands that were so welcome wherever they wanted to go. "It is hardly fair if I cannot look and touch, too." He peered over his shoulder at Obito and, grinning, reached back to try to grab him and pull him closer.

[thebestuchiha]

He ran his fingers down Gai's arm but came around his other side instead, a small smirk coming to his lips. "What can I say, maybe I want to feel like you put a little effort into catching me."

[morningpeacock]

So elusive! Then again, Obito had a knack for slipping past attacks; Gai should not be too surprised that he managed to evade! Such skill!

If it weren't for the playful and sexy tone, Gai might have cringed. He hadn't exactly chased Obito all these years and he should have. Obito had made most of the moves so far, but...Gai would make it up to him, somehow.

"You would doubt my effort?" He made a grab for Obito's waist as he turned towards him, feeling the guilt of a moment ago dissolve into the thrill of their game of chase earlier. "I would chase you the world over just to bask in your smile."

[thebestuchiha]

He blinked, surprised enough that Gai almost got a hold on him before he half twirled away, looking over his shoulder at him with a soft laugh. He knew there was a touch of pink on his face. "No need to go to quite that much trouble."

[morningpeacock]

Gai laughed, though the beauty of that over-the-shoulder look and the pink dashed across Obito's cheeks caught Gai off guard and stole his breath away. "You are worth that much trouble."

He was busy staring. It took him a moment to close the distance between them.

[thebestuchiha]

The combination of the words and the look he was getting stopped him from avoiding Gai when he came up behind him, and he instead just followed him with his eyes, watching. "How did I ever manage to earn a statement like that?"

[morningpeacock]

"You are amazing. You are beautiful, kind, loyal, passionate--Obito, I do not have words enough for the things that I love about you." He was still in awe of Obito so often, and right now awe and love and admiration and attraction were all blending together in a pretty potent emotion, though it embarrassed Gai that it had to come right at this moment, but he supposed no other moment was more perfect to tell someone how wonderful and loved they were. He gave a small laugh and leaned into Obito, wrapping him in an embrace. "I am sorry if I have, uh, ruined the moment. But telling you was worth that, too."

[thebestuchiha]

He slid his hands over Gai's, then shifted his weight to lean back into him. "If you were anyone else I would accuse you of flattery... but because it's you I'll just be awed instead, yeah?" His voice was dramatically softer, and after a moment, he took Gai's hands and slid them to where his clothes came together, pressing on them there before lightening up his touch.

"You didn't ruin a thing."

[morningpeacock]

He gave a soft laugh and held Obito closer, pressing a kiss against his cheek and then nuzzling his neck. "You are in awe of my awe for you?"

His heart skipped a beat as Obito spoke again and as his hands settled where directed, and he kept them there for a moment, not moving. "I am glad." Then Gai pressed a kiss to Obito's neck, and slid his hand under Obito's shirt, along his stomach. He was certain he would never get enough of holding Obito in his arms.

[thebestuchiha]

"Your regard is beautiful, no help for it." He gave an arch into his fingers, letting his head tip back against his shoulder as the last of his anxiety eased for the time being.

"You do things so wholeheartedly, there's no way it wouldn't be."

[morningpeacock]

"Now you are flattering." His tone was affectionate, though, and his eyes sparkled with unshed tears. Obito's words touched him.

He kissed up Obito's neck slowly as his hand moved up under his shirt now, over muscles and scars, taking the time to appreciate touching him more now that they weren't squished onto Obito's chair together.

[thebestuchiha]

"Nah, flattery would be going off on a tangent about how nice your hands feel instead of just stating things I've known for ages." He shivered and lifted his hands, looping them behind Gai's shoulder and neck as he leaned back into him more securely.

[morningpeacock]

His hands felt nice? Gai's cheeks turned red and he hid his face against Obito's neck. "Well, I am glad if you are enjoying them. You feel nice," he admitted leaning into him, finally seeking out Obito's lips as his hands wandered over him, one skimming the waistband of his pants.

[thebestuchiha]

One hand slid up, tangling securely in Gai's hair instead of trying to talk anymore, and he leaned up into that kiss. It was enough to reignite his interest in something more intense, and he shifted back, giving a full body rub of his back against Gai's front.
