I've practically been fucked to hell and back, and you're leaning on me?
[Tohsaka laughs breathlessly as she reaches for a towel. The mess that leaks out of her puddles on the bench and drips to the floor between the slats. She doesn't bother with that at the moment. Instead Rin blots away the layer of sweat built up over the multiple orgasms she endured in the ring.]
I just needed a breather. Are there stools in the shower I could use? If I could sit under a shower I think I could get cleaned up properly.
[Don't ask her to stand for more than a brief walk, though. Yet despite her teasing, Rin tilts her head so that the soft curve of her cheek rests against his arm. An attempt at a little reciprocation.]
[Aak fusses, wielding his marginally higher emotional honesty. He briefly squeeze with both arms before relaxing again. She actually gets the courtesy of his caution, not pressing or squeezing anywhere that's noticeably bruised.]
[He can feel her lean against his arm, there's some degree of comfort there, it's just so thorny a situation that he doesn't know how to properly attack it. She was fucked to hell and back, he knows in the same situation he'd try and make a joke just like that, but...]
[Maybe it is better to take care of the obvious stuff, first.]
Yea, I saw some stools. Nothin' comfy but what d'you expect.
[There's no move just yet to change their position. Now that she's taken the indulgence of leaning into the hug, it seems she might be a little reluctant to leave it. She doesn't mind if he presses somewhere sore or brushes against raw skin. A price she pays for losing. A price she pays for making him help her after he watched all that.]
Well, it's not like you can hug me all the way to washing this sweat off. In fact I bet if you pulled away now I'd have bits of your fur clinging to me like lint on a dress shirt.
[A small smile tugs at her lips. She's thankful to have him. Not just his expertise, but his comfort. Hell, even his way of handling things. Too much concern would probably make her feel even more guilty.]
[He wishes for a moment that he had the kind of tall, ripped body where he could just lift her up and carry her where she needed to be. A wave of memory comes back of Rin being held up, splayed out, and he hates to admit he wouldn't mind doing that either. If he could do that for her, if he could provide anything she possibly could want-]
[-but he wasn't getting any taller. She might not even want him to get more buff. He mentally tries to clear away the swirling conflict.]
I washed up pretty good this morning! Can't help if I've got a few loose hairs now.
[One more snuggle before loosening his arms enough to lean back. One hand rests on her shoulder, prepared to adjust and help her move. The other idly combs through her hair where he was pressed. Sure, there's one or two short, cream hairs blended in with hers. It's not the sexiest way of marking someone but right now he'll take it.]
We'll get you rinsed off then handle the topical painkillers and junk.
[he shifts, holding out a hand expectantly, knowing he can't shoulder all of her weight but still determined to take as much of it as she'll let him.]
[In all honesty Rin doesn't mind the stray bits of fur. They're a little like marking or claiming, and she originally brought it up as a tease. Sometimes she'll find strands of Aak's fur on her clothes. While it ruins her veneer of perfection Tohsaka finds she doesn't hate it. It's just a piece of him, left behind, for her to remember him by. As if he never fully left.
When Rin finally stands she makes sure to bring the towels Aak so helpfully brought by. A short rest has helped, but the ingested pain killers have started making her a little dizzy. Instead of needing to hold her weight, Aak will simply have to be her anchor so that her balance stays right.]
[The image of a perfect Rin Tohsaka was, like so many apparently perfect people, just an image. He likes to exist beneath that image, and the marks he leaves are proof that she isn't perfect. She's flawed, like him, and they can revel in those flaws if it's just the two of them. He steadies her with his hands and,]
[It's not quite a flinch, but it is a reaction. The admittance, the softness of it, it just reminds him of the harshness before.]
Ah, man, how am I supposed to respond to that?... [he mumbles to no one in particular as he starts them walking.]
[Was he glad to be here and help her? Of course. Was he glad to have seen it? That's way more complicated. It would be so much easier if it were a partner he knew or liked. There's cognitive dissonance. He loves Rin as a flawed person but seeing her enjoying herself in such a state is fresh and discomforting.]
... we should do a threesome when you're feelin' better. Somethin' fun.
[She nearly stumbles, and the only thing preventing her from face-planting directly into the bathroom tile as they enter the shower area is a blessed stool right there and ready for her to just plonk her ass down onto. Tohsaka sits there with wide, surprised eyes and the towels in her lap as she looks up at him.]
You think of "something fun" and a threesome is the first thing that comes to mind?
Hey, hey, hey! [Aak also tries to make sure Rin doesn't go tumbling. His arms are a bit stronger than they look but ultimately very twiggy. He keeps a hand steadied on her shoulder, leading right from that startle into having to explain himself for his suggestion.]
Well, like, [How could he be blamed for having sex on the brain right now? Sure there were normal fun things, like a movie night, or shopping, or going to the Vale and finding some weirdo plants, but,]
Having more people can just be better, right? [A part of him wants to prove to himself that what happened today was something different. He wouldn't deal with this sick pit in his stomach if it was a friend of theirs, right? While he's not good at sharing he's not some overly possessive bastard.]
And, like, choices, or you could watch me, or, you know, stuff like that.
[He definitely doesn't feel like he's conveying things right but there's also no good way to convey this, probably.]
[Being able to sit and breathe... being able to rest and not worrying about getting up... It gives her the strength to reach out and rest her hand on his arm. The pads of her fingertips drawing against his fur.]
Do you want me to watch you? Do you like that kind of thing? Ah... did you... like watching me?
[Probably not, right? It wasn't pretty, it wasn't flattering, and most of all she's not sure what anyone else would get out of seeing their friend like that. But what if he did like it? Did he get a little hard while watching her? Despite the dull sting between her legs, a sudden jolt of interest sparks in her at the thought of Aak enjoying her like that.]
[It was a light touch but it felt like an iron grip, bringing him to a pause as she brushed against his fur.]
[There are simple answers to the first pieces. He didn't mind being watched. He liked to participate but he considered himself pretty "normal" in terms of getting off to watching. He knows Rin might have an inclination for that. She's joked about it enough. He can't remember a lot of the little details from when she was a slimy monster but he distinctly remembers something about someone else taking his kitty hole.]
[But watching her, in the context of what he's just seen? His eyes hard duck to the side.]
... the guy was a real douchebag. Like, really, ruined the whole image. So, like, that's why we should try it with someone that's not- like that.
[It's dodging the issue, instead making it a problem of the third party. There's no objecting to watching or being watched, though. He's suggesting they should try it again at least.]
[A small hum of acknowledgment resonates in Rin's throat as she considers. He's about as evasive as she is when it comes to certain things, but she's not sure if Aak is evading hurt or horny in this instance. Slowly she curls her fingers around his wrists and pulls him closer.]
Okay, I would try that. But for now set these towels aside and help me with the topical application?
[There should be some numbing cream they can rub between her folds, right? After all that she wants Aak to touch her again. To not let that guy in the Rin to be the last one.]
