Oh. It's You. (Moron)

[Deleted]

"Yes, it's necessary," Kodi smirked, lightening his weight on the other boy just a little, but keeping the pressure there. "I can't have you squirming 'round like a snake'r somethin' while I'm workin' on ya." He batted Gryph lightly on the top of the head when he tried wriggling again. "Hold still, ya fucker!"

He was definitely enjoying this, even more than he'd expected. So much so that he was starting to regret his decision to try and not just get straight to sex tonight. Kodi could... Try to behave. But the wonderful sounds Gryph was making were not helping his self-control at all. He tried to just get enough enjoyment out of watching Gryph squirm beneath him in this sort of mixture of pain and, Kodi hoped, at least a little pleasure.

"Y'dunno?" Kodi pouted, raising his arms with a devilish smile. "Should I do it some more?" Assuming Gryph turned down the offer, the Chinese boy settled down again, watching his companion with eyes full of barely disguised lust. "Y'got some amazin' muscle definition," he commented, running his tongue over his bottom lip. "I ain't seen muscles like that before, the ones 'round your wings. S'kinda... Weird." His grin turned crooked. "But hot." Now that he was in the comfort of his own room, he was feeling a tad more confident.

Not entirely, though. He fell silent as Gryphon looked down, and fidgeted with his sheets, unsure of what to say next. Normally at this point, when he had someone over, there was no need to say anything - clothes would be flying and expectations met. With Gryph, Kodi... Had no expectations. He didn't know what to expect. All he knew is he didn't want to be the one to break down and kiss him again first, if only for his pride. Because he really, really wanted to.

Finally,"... You wanna spend the night?" he mumbled, barely audible. He shot a quick glance up at Gryphon before looking down again, slowly crawling his fingers across the blanket to brush against Gryphon's hip.

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Whyyy... he frowned at Kodi's explanation. And he almost made a remark about his use of the word 'fuck', but he was too concerned with his back and wings to bother.

His back was killing... but not in bad way. It hurt, a lot, but it felt... better. It was weird and Gryph didn't want to think about it. "On second thoughts, I'm good." He replied swiftly. It wasn't terrible, but that didn't mean he wanted it to happen again.

Oh, so he had weird muscles? He smirked, trying not to look at Kodi too closely, he was straining a ridiculous amount already. And then it was silent... he was stuck, did he need to do something, say something? He still wasn't looking at Kodi... and then he spoke and Gryph made the mistake of looking at him, feeling a tingling feeling shiver through his hip.

He lost it; he took the boy's face in his hands and kissed him, a little more intensely than he had in the past. Gryph couldn't handle himself, it was either doing that or leaving, which he was certain he didn't want to do.

Kodi expected some sort of answer to his question. He just hadn't expected something so sudden and fierce; it reminded him of the other day when Gryph had practically attacked him in the library. Before he knew what was happening, the other boy's lips were on his, and Kodi latched on, snagging his arms around Gryph's shoulders as he dove into the kiss wholeheartedly.

After a few moments, he felt himself begin to lose his balance, and toppled over onto the mattress, taking Gryphon with him. Fuck, what was it with him and falling over when this guy kissed him? Whatever, Kodi was too distracted clinging to and kissing his gorgeous company, slowly letting his hands slip down from Gryphon's shoulders to run down across his stomach, relishing the taunt, rippling muscles of his abdomen. He buried his fingers into Gryphon's hips and held him tight, never once breaking the contact of their mouths. Sooner or later, someone was going to have to breathe.

Finally, Kodi pulled away with a loud, wet gasp, chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath. He continued to cling onto Gryphon's waist as he gazed up at the other boy; his glasses had gone askew, but he was too overwhelmed to adjust them. "You're so fuckin' hot," he groaned, slipping his arms around the small of Gryph's back and pulling him in tight. "D'you... You sure you don't wanna..." Kodi was almost afraid to ask if Gryph wanted to go further; he didn't want to scare him away, but fuck, he was so needy, desired Gryphon so much, he just might burst.

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Gryphon hadn't exactly had time to process what he was doing himself; it was as much of a shock to him as it was to Kodi. His mind and body had gone into automatic and as soon as he became 'present' again, he didn't want to stop.

They fell and, unlike last time, he didn't have to wait to see if Kodi was ok. His arms wrapped around the boy's neck, sighing and moaning into the kiss slightly as Kodi moved his hands over his body. He hadn't felt anything like this before, it was so small and simple, but almost heavenly. He almost couldn't believe he was doing this, kissing someone after so long. He tried to hide a small panic he got when he realized how little he knew about what he was doing, covering it up and treating it as a lack of breath (seeing as he needed to breathe soon anyway, he was gonna faint if he didn't).

His breath heaved out of his body, he'd never had such a lack of oxygen. The only thing he could closely relate the feeling to was after dancing for hours upon end, but even that couldn't fully compare. Gryph let his head fall forward a bit, keeping it in his chest until Kodi spoke. "Look who's talkin'." He smirked and lifted his eyesight so he could look the boy in the eyes.

Gryph sighed, did Kodi expect him to make such a big desicion so early on, and so fast? "Kodi... I... not yet." He couldn't think of the right words. He wanted to say how he really liked the boy, and how fucking hot he thought he was, and how sorry he was that he couldn't do it yet. Not yet. But the words didn't come, his throat practically ran dry. He looked down, a feeling of possible rejection lingering in his mind. Gryphon felt guilty, but... he wasn't ready.

[Deleted]

Kodi let out a small, breathless chuckle, seeing how much Gryphon was affected by the session as well. How long that they been going at it? It seemed like quite a while, but still not long enough. It was weird, too, being on the bottom like this... Definitely not something Kodi was used to. Still, he just couldn't quite seem to muster the energy to try to switch their positions, so he just laid there, trying to catch his breath.

He bit his lip and looked away when Gryphon declined his offer, feeling a small trickle of disappointment run through his chest, but he tried to quickly push it away. It was alright, he didn't need that yet. He could... He could deal. In the meantime, Kodi tilted his head to press his mouth against Gryphon's neck, sucking and nibbling lightly on the skin until he'd left a nice reddish welt. There... Something to remind Gryphon that Kodi had some claim on him in the coming days, until the bruise faded.

"It's... It's alright," he mumbled as he pulled away. Kodi ran his hands up and down Gryph's spine a few times before he began to ease himself out of the embrace, slowly sitting up and slipping off the side of the bed. "I'm... Gonna change. If you wanna stay, uh, you can... I dunno, go change too, if you want...." His cheeks were still slightly pink, but he went to his dresser and tugged out a pair of sweatpants, tugging off his skinny, dark-wash jeans and shirt so he was clad in just his boxers before he pulled on his comfortable pants. That done, he flopped back down on his bed and waited for whatever Gryphon wanted to do.

He hoped he'd stay over.

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Gryph'd tried to put it the best he could, but he was thinking back on it only seconds later and he already felt like he'd said something wrong. He saw Kodi go to his neck and, honestly, he expected the worst, but he found himself closing his eyes and felt one of the corners of his mouth turn up. Mmm... it hurt, but again, in a good way.

Gryphon wasn't very convinced, though, of Kodi's words. He sounded... dejected. Which made Gryph feel even more guilty. Once the boy had gotten up, Gryph followed suit; "I'll... I'll be right back." He stumbled and mumbled, getting to his feet, grabbing his shirt and jacket and leaving. Once he had gone through multiple doors and was back in his own dorm, he threw his clothes on the floor and flopped onto his bed, face first. He just... needed a moment to consider everything that had happened within the last few hours. It was... a bit fast, confusing. He wasn't used to having these feelings again, and he didn't trust them, every inch of him that liked Kodi had a hint of distrust. But not by the fault of Kodi himself.

And the guilt still washed him out like a tidal wave. He sighed and clambered off of his furniture, grabbing the first comfortable piece of clothing he could find. Once he was changed, he looked in the mirror he had on his wall. His hair was everywhere, he looked like shit (a happy kind of shit, but y'know...) and he had a red mark on his neck still from where Kodi had... shall we say 'kissed' him. He touched it gently, wondering how long it would stay visible; he didn't mind it, it was just the other people at Hammel who might.

A couple of minutes had passed since he had left Kodi's room, so he found himself going back now, dragging his feet a little behind him from fatigue. He was still topless, but he didn't really care about covering himself up.

When Gryph arrived at Kodi's dorm again, he knocked twice before letting himself in, smiling a small, sheepish grin at the room's owner. "Hey." He spoke quietly, air dominating his speech. He felt so awkwardly shy... this was straanggee.

[Deleted]

"Alright," was all Kodi said when Gryphon announced that he'd be back. A small part of him was afraid that Gryph wouldn't come back, that he'd... Somehow had enough of Kodi, but he told himself he was just being paranoid. There was no reason for Gryphon not to like him... Right? He hadn't seen what Kodi could get like, the snarling and growling and violence he had a reputation for, for good reason. It was only a matter of time, though... This sweeter, more innocent stuff wasn't something Kodi was used to. He knew he'd snap sooner or later.

Just see where this goes, he told himself, trying not to freak out. There's no harm in just having someone spend the night. You don't need to hook up. Not yet. There would be time in the future, he hoped.

He'd grabbed a book from under his bed (one of George R.R. Martin's novels) and had readjusted his glasses to rest straight on the bridge of his nose again, when his door creaked back open. He automatically went to throw the book back in its hiding place before Gryph could see it, but then he remembered the other boy already knew of his habits, so he just placed it carefully under and pulled off his glasses to set back on his desk. "Hey," he repeated back, his voice equally quiet.

Kodi fidgeted with his sheets before scooting over to one side of the bed and flipping the blanket back for Gryphon to sit. "I... I dunno 'bout you, but I'm pretty damn tired," he mumbled with a yawn. Now that he'd had time to calm down a little, he felt better, but sleepy. He peeked up and caught sight of the mark he'd left on Gryphon's neck, and gave a broader grin. "Hope you don't mind that," he commented, pointing to his own neck. "Couldn't help myself."

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Gryphon wasn't sure what to think anymore. He'd been tempted to text someone and tell them he was with Kodi to see what their reaction would be like, but decided against it. He left his phone in his room.

His only major concern was that Kodi would try something again. He didn't want to keep having to be put in that position again. He'd tell Kodi when he was ready, and that wasn't today.

Gryph smiled a little more, seeing the book. He wasn't sure why, but it made him feel happy. He stood with an air of awkwardness until Kodi offered him a seat and yawned, which he echoed back, "Yeah, so am I." He tried to look at the mark on his neck when the other boy pointed it out, but all he achieved was a double chin; he looked at him, "I don't mind it," he rubbed it subconsciously. He smiled and sat down, looking around the boy's room. He started talking again... but it wasn't English. He had been wondering if this would happen at all, and maybe it was because he was tired, but he tweeted out his sentence instead of speaking it. Hopefully Kodi didn't mind.

[Deleted]

Kodi wasn't going to try anything. He'd made that decision, and he was going to stick with it, as hard as it might be. He just told himself it'd make it sweeter when they finally did hook up (because he was sure it would happen eventually).

He snorted as Gryphon tried to look at where he was pointing, achieving nothing. "Well, good... 'Cause you might be getting those on a regular basis," he smirked. If he couldn't have real fun yet, he'd find ways to lay his claim on Gryph anyway. And these were more visible than other things anyway. As Gryph sat down, Kodi wriggled down under his blanket and reached to turn off the light, only to hear some weird birdsong coming from- "Gryph?" he chuckled, peeking over at his company. "You alright there?" He'd said something about bird communication before, right? Kodi wasn't going crazy? Shaking his head and still chortling, he flipped off the light, leaving the room pitch black except for the small amount of moonlight that peeked through his blinds.

Almost nervously, he adjusted himself with his back turned towards Gryphon in case the other boy wanted to... What, cuddle? ... Why not? They'd done it before, when Kodi was sick, it wouldn't hurt again...

[Gryphon Matsuoka]

Well, at least his face fat was amusing.

Gryphon rose his eyebrows, smirking, "Oh, really?" It made something in his chest when Kodi said that, although he had no idea what. After a moment, his mind wandered... he began to feel a little self concious, which wasn't really normal for him. What... what would his friends think, seeing a hickey on his neck? He didn't want them trying to work out for themselves what was going on, but this... seemed a little difficult to explain. He wasn't... ashamed of it, nothing like that. They just... might be a little shocked, or something.

"Ah, crap." He muttered, chuckling as well. His first few words after that came out as a strange mixture of partially-comprehendable words and a series of bird twitters, before he took a deep breath and began to speak once more, "Sorry, that happens sometimes, start talkin' in bird instead of English." he explained, shaking his head at his own disbelief at how little control he seemed to have over his power.

As the light went out, Gryph settled down even more underneath the sheets, which seemed considerably warmer in comparison to most nights, seeing as he had... well, he had a bed buddy. Speaking of, Gryphon rolled onto his side (where he was more comfortable) and saw Kodi's back. He just stopped and stared at it as well as he could in the dim light for a few moments. Should he...? He felt a shiver run down his spine and he came closer to the boy, wrapping his arm around him... it was still a little cold, and as long as Kodi didn't show any annoyance at Gryph's contact, he proceeded to slowly take out a wing and cover both of their bodies in that as well, the feathery warmth acting as a blanket.

Gryph's eyes closed and he smiled, sighing happily, "Night, Kodi."

[Deleted]

Kodi snickered again, amused at the sounds coming from Gryphon's mouth. "That's... Cute," he grinned, reaching over to ruffle his hand through the boy's hair. "Little songbird." Songbird. Potential nickname? Hmm... Kodi would have to think on it. He did so ever-love nicknames, though.

It was fortunate that it was cold out - it was definitely warmer than Kodi was used to, but it was a pleasant sort of heat. He felt the back of his neck tickle, sensing Gryphon's eyes on him, but he laid still, letting his breathing even out and become slower as fatigue washed over him. After a few moments, he felt a tentative arm slide over his side, and he wriggled backwards a little, tucking himself against Gryphon's bare chest. Mmmmm.... He could get used to this. He stirred slightly as he felt the feathery weight of Gryph's wing spread over them, grinning sleepily up at the makeshift blanket. That.... Was fucking cool.

"G'night, moron," he replied drowsily, but almost affectionately, and let his eyes drift shut, sleep quickly overcoming him. He'd sleep the whole night through.
