He reddens while he finishes the slow unbutttoning, lips fixed tight in focus, considering his words.
"It's... I've been a senpai, and I've been a... kohai... but never partners. And it always felt like we were in a hurry, or had to hide."
He slips her jacket off, carefully, palms smoothing over the shirt beneath it, feeling the contours and corners of shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, until he's cupping her hands and the jacket is dropping to the floor.
"We have time now, and I see no reason for us to hide." Naoto looks up at him, an intense expression on her face. "No matter what has or has not happened before, I want to make this moment special." The Trumps being what they are and Jaunts being what they are, she's not certain when they might have a moment like this again.
Her shirt is short-sleeved, the Roman Numerals of her Mark poking out at the base of her right sleeve. She shivers as he runs his hands over her, then holds them tight as her jacket drops to the floor, taking a few deep breaths, uncertainty returning.
Slowly, he leans in for another kiss, and closes his eyes. This one is slower, and even if it's more chaste, there's more promise to it, more heat, licking his blue-haired boyfriend's lips, and when the kiss breaks, his curled fingers are resting on the inseam of Naoto's thigh.
"... Just to be sure we're clear," he says. "I think I just offered to give you a handjob."
Naoto returns the kiss gently, breathing intensifying. More than anything, especially in these moments, he's reminded of how much he connects with Souji, of how much he really loves him, even though sometimes he doesn't know what that means.
His breath catches at Souji's words, and he nods. "As long as you let me return the favor afterwards. I... would like that."
It's odd, in the back of his mind, that they're going further this way than they have with him in another form, but it just feels right for the situation.
It does give him pause, for a moment - for some reason receiving a handjob from a boy is stranger than giving one, a reaction that makes no sense even inside his own head. But he nods.
"We'll do... whatever feels right," he says, and on the word feels, slips his hand upward to drift between Naoto's legs, fingertips gently exploring across his slacks.
Once the door is shut, she leans up, kissing him again, pushing him back against the door. She's obviously moving on some kind of instinct, taking the lead for once. However, she breaks the kiss and blushes. "Er, well, if you're not interested at the moment, we could just sleep, but I would like to have some time with you."
"I think... I could manage that," he concludes, a little dazed, still leaning against the door. Some time is a much more vivid euphemism than he would have credited it as. He swallows, looking at her with flushed cheeks, admiration, fascination, and curiosity plain in his gaze.
"Nothing in particular, but...." She looks up at him, a slightly-unusual expression on her face. "I was thinking I might want to try the other day's activities like this."
In the (admittedly short) time between their activities while she was male and now, her curiosity has let he mind wander more than once to what it would be like to be with Souji in her usual form. After the dungeon, however, her mind seemed to be able to focus on little else. Strange, but something she'd pay more attention to later.
When they were safe in Liminal Space once more, he'd wrapped her in his new coat and ushered her silently right to their room, never letting go, having Leonardo meet them with a thermos of Vivien and miso broth, making sure they each gave a little before half-undressing and tucking her in, arms and leather jacket both draped protectively over her.
In the indeterminable morning he wakes, sprawled beside her, tattooed with the I marine if wrinkled sheets and jacket rivets, suffering a case of morning wood born from a month of distracted abstinence, and watches her sleep from under lidded eyes.
For the first time in she didn't even know how long, Naoto slept. Souji was there, protecting her, there wasn't a Shadow telling her things she really didn't want to hear, and she was comfortable.
Still mostly asleep, she snuggles close to him, actually murmuring a bit of a contented noise, with a tiny smile on her face.
Every now and then Souji flips Personas in his sleep, but this is the first time he's ever shapeshifted - he dozes awake to find his hair-tendrils hugging his pillow, silver-blue chest bare to the stomach and cool to the touch, segmented ribs covered in smooth muscle but utterly lacking in nipples or chest hair, or anything mammalian, which is a little alarming. He sniffs, and finds that he smells faintly of cardamom, and remembers vaguely that this means his mineral reservoirs are too low for him to be exuding petrification vapors the way he usually would in this body. Carefully, he shifts, looking over the sheets - still unpetrified - and Naoto, as his movement strips the sheets away from her, unpetrified as well. He must have used them up on his old jacket, last time he was in this form.
She shivers a bit, even in her sleep as he takes the sheets from her. Having fallen asleep the previous night in just her boxers, even without her binder, her tiny body is rather susceptible to cold.
Without waking up much, she shifts, so that she's closer to him, snuggling up against him to warm herself up on instinct. Eventually, she wakes up a tiny bit to mumble. "Souji, you're being a cover hog. 'm cold."
"...I think I'm colder," he says, faintly alarmed, noting how fever-warm she feels pressed against his side and the way the muscles there ease immediately on contact, doing something he's really sure his human muscles never do.
After the party, Naoto all but drags Souji back to their room, and gently pushes him to sit on their bed.
"Wait here for a moment." Quickly, she disappears into their bathroom, and returns, wearing a Yasogami uniform of her own, but sporting black cat ears with a hint of white at the base, and a black tail with a white tip.
"So, as it's your birthday, you get a choice. Would you like your girlfriend or your boyfriend tonight?"
"That's a difficult choice," he admits, after a moment. He looks up, swallows, and his eyes widen, just a little. "Oh. Hm. Ah... girlfriend, first? But maybe... doing the things my boyfriend usually does." Giving head, or anal sex, or rubbing off on each other... all things somehow made more exciting by ears and a tail.
"Absolutely." She walks over, and straddles him on the bed, smiling at him. "I hope you had a good party. I wanted to do something that you would appreciate. And possibly give us all a bit of home."
Carefully and slowly, she runs her hands down the front of his shirt, never taking her eyes from his, gently tracing the lines on his chest she knows so well, through his shirt.
There are some days that Naoto has found that she simply decides it would be easier to be male, and for whatever reason, this is one of them.
She's found lying on her back in their bed, looking up at the ceiling, lost in her thoughts, mostly of Souji, and the activities they'd been intensifying lately.
Souji comes back from his shower with his towel draped around his waist and his hair still wet, and blinks to find his girlfriend become his boyfriend again. He doesn't mind, but it's unanticipated, and he pauses, studying carefully from the doorway.
Naoto's curled up on a pillow in the seraglio, just waiting for Rise to arrive. She doesn't have the ability to make a room, but she does have the ability to hear people coming, and pile blankets and pillows in a way that others would not notice the particular corner. Or, well, there is Rise's room, or Souji's room.
Rise beelines her way to Naoto once the shortcuts start opening between the sides of the barrier, homing in on her with Psychic Detection. Naoto would surely hear her coming before she pushes her way into the private little pillow bower, and for once Rise doesn't say anything right off. She instead lies down behind Naoto, wrapping her arms around thd other girl and burying her face in the hair sticking out beneath her hat.
It's the Liminal of outdated audio equipment, aliens, and...cows. Rise's trying not to think too hard about it, though. She has one of the weird flying saucer things and she's figured out out to drive it.
Naoto glances up and grins hugely when she sees Rise hovering above her. "That sounds fantastic." She stands, brushing invisible dust off of her pants.
"I have always been fond of flying saucers, even though the concept of alien life is laughably immature."
