SOME MORE SIN       // not accept.

(   ✿   ) THEY DRIVE OUT OF TOWN FOR DATES; WHERE THEY MAY NOT BE caught under fire of rude behavior and otherwise brash reactions. They drive just beyond so that Mae may have the CHANCE TO HOLD his beloved’s hand and KISS his beloved’s lips without scrutiny. And sometimes it’s hard– incredibly so, not given the chance to display appreciation for his lover in their existence WITHOUT THE FEAR his very lover’s chosen company may have a few cutting words and even more cutting ACTIONS towards him instead.

So it’s these moments he savors. EVERY SECOND he can drink in Mamoru’s face without fear of his eyes lingering too long upon a perfect face. Or when digits only JUST lace together that causes Mae to be CHOKING DOWN BUTTERFLIES. They are moments so minuscule to those who know not to appreciate but they are beautiful eternity to the one whose chances are constantly stolen.

They’ve retired to Mamoru’s car as the tattooist just begins to fasten his seatbelt when fingers CAPTURE A CHIN that’s turned about face, away from the one who BEGS attention. And it’s only moments before LIPS PRESSED to his own are searing– Mamoru swallowing down in earnest the smallest noises of pleasure the artist exhales. Because THIS IS PERFECT TO HIM. This is what home feels like, at last; nestled beautifully quaint upon rose tiers under an old roof.

And chest aches so pleasantly when they part at last, only remaining within CLOSE PROXIMITY to keep stead fast the the smallest moment intimacy Mae wishes to cherish for a few more lasting seconds. SLOWLY UNRAVELED, the host finally speaks and the younger’s response is immediate. Something of a small laugh, bell-like in its chiming as Mae can only contain himself so much before he’s leaning to press forehead AGAINST the man’s shoulder. 

“Have you ever been told how much of a way with words you have, Mamoru?” He begins, view raising to capture a gaze; a FAR-TOO-CLOSE smile held between. “I love you, but I’d MUCH RATHER be home to love you as freely as I’d like, as welll.” 

                                you’re an earthly comfort, yet so DIVINE.
