the magical, mind-altering, matchmaking hot springs.

A SMUT MEME

Hot springs are considered rejuvenating in many cultures, from Asia to Europe. All that natural heat and the minerals from the earth flow through water and call throngs of people to come and enjoy the resorts that pop up around these wonders of the world. You, however, would never go to one. You're insecure about baring it all in public; maybe you don't even go out in public because your appearance would make the uncaring crowd lash out at you. Maybe it's just not your scene. You could not know anything about hot springs!

But you're at one now, no matter what, and you're going to be taking a skinny dip - or near it - whether you like it or not. To make matters worse, you're sharing your little pool with someone else. Hey, you don't know them! This place could not even be in your world or your time.

There's little options otherwise, though, so you might as well enjoy the time you're here. Soak and relax, let those tired muscles get a break. Soon, all your troubles, your worries, your ailments, your imperfections all begin to fade away...as do your misconceptions. You know this person, don't you? Yes, you do. Actually you know them very well. You're with them. You came with them, it seems to you, to reconnect, a lover's getaway. After all, what's more steamy than a hot springs?

So go ahead, do what you've intended to do. No one will mind if you get a little frisky in the springs if it helps out your relationship; besides, what do you think some of the extra natural minerals are for? They'll certainly help you get hot under the collar, not that you'll need that. Your (new) mutual history should be enough.

...or, hell, just do whatever you want. I stole this meme wholesale from bakerstreet. The point is: hot springs sex. GO FOR IT. Or hot springs kisses. or blushus.

Comment with your character, preferences, and etc. Include canon information and anything relevant to the meme, as well, if you'd like.

All characters are welcome. Appropriate, inappropriate, serious, whatever.

Reply to others. You can hash out your what your characters will eventually believe their shared history to be, or just put up a starter and play it by ear.

Have fun!

[Who let a cat in the bath? Or maybe there's a blue haired young man almost dozing against the rim of it, red eyes half lidded in contentment.]

[Atsushi doesn't usually have the kind of money you'd blow on a place like this, so this magical nexus opportunity is not one to be wasted in his opinion! He's going to enjoy relaxing in the hot water to it's fullest, hopefully.]

[ Vanitas doesn't have the time to do any of these sort of things back home, so he definitely wouldn't willingly plop his ass into hotsprings.

At first, he loathed it with every single fiber of his being. He was exposed, and he had a multitude of scars on his body -- this one -- that he'd done so well to keep out of sight. It keeps people from asking stupid ass questions. Most of them were faded from past battles, or a training session that turned into a living nightmare for him.

But then again, scars seemed to be another thing he and Atsushi had in common. So maybe it wasn't entirely unpleasant if it was just Atsushi who saw. ]

Having fun over there?

[Scars certainly were something they had in common-- but there was enough steam and water that Atsushi felt more or less like he was soaking in some semblance of privacy here. The faded pale patches of tissue that dotted his skin here and there, the two reddened indents along his side... no one could see them as long as they didn't get too close.

That said, it was only some semblance of privacy. Atsushi had already been relaxing for awhile in the steaming water, letting tension and lingering soreness soak away as he did. He hadn't even been expecting company, really.

Luckily it's company he doesn't really find he minds. Vanitas at least he doesn't have to hide around.]

Vanitas? I wasn't expecting to see you here.

[And embarassment aside, it really was a pleasant surprise, when he examined it.]

I don't know if I'd call it 'fun' exactly, but.... it is really nice. I always heard places like this were good for sore muscles, but they weren't joking.

It'd cramp my style if I didn't consistently surprise you.

[ Vamitas says ever so casually, but as they're sitting here, his eyes flicker over unabashedly to size Atsushi up. It has been awhile since he's seen him topless, and some part of him appreciates the chance. Also, he supposed it did help that they weren't in a life or death game at the moment. ]

I've never heard about this kind of place before. But I imagine if you're not too careful you'll be Atsushi the prunny instead of Atsushi the armed detective guy.

I suppose so.

[Atsushi's smile grows into a small, amused grin. No, he definitely didn't mind Vanitas' company.

Atsushi tries to be polite and not look, but the feel of Vanitas' gaze on him eventually draws his eyes. The scars he'd expected, honestly, given what he knew of Vanitas' life. But something about his appearance right now still caught Atsushi's gaze, held it-- Maybe it was how much he'd grown over time?

Atsushi's face feels a little hotter when he finally laughs at Vanitas' joke, looking down at his hands as he cups water in them.]

I can always dry off again if I do. This isn't really an opportunity I get often, even if my world has places like this.

I'm guessing it's because of your work. Look at us, finally getting a chance to really relax for once in our damn lives.

[ Vanitas definitely smirked when the male's gaze had flickered over to him -- and more importantly his current state of mostly undress. He looks at the white-haired male, as he looks down, and honestly, if there's one thing that's changed about him, it's the fact that he's a bit more bolder with what he could say. Though, his want to tease Atsushi hasn't changed at all.

Proven exactly in the next moment as he speaks again. ]

Say...you were checking me out a little earlier, weren't you?

[His smile quirks a bit, amusement clear in his tone.]

That, and visiting places like this costs a bit. But you're right-- opportunities like this are hard to come by, aren't they?

[Atsushi was a somewhat thrifty person, and vacations like these not only required taking a day or two off but also money. Not that he felt a lack in any way for it, it wasn't like he felt he needed to visit places like this, though he certainly appreciated the chance for a breather from the hustle and bustle of the agency.

Vanitas' next words, however, cause further redness that has nothing to do with the heat of the bath to come to his cheeks, water sloshing out of his hands. He-- checking--]

What?! I wasn't-- I wouldn't-- I'm sorry!!!

[.....Atsushi that was basically admitting you were.]

Edited (details) 2018-05-31 23:37 (UTC)

Mhm, sure are.

[ Vanitas watches the way the redness encroaches on Atsushi's face and his smirk turns into a grin of sorts. To literally no one's surprise. Sometimes the other male just makes it too easy, and who is he to complain? ]

What've you got to be sorry about? It's alright, I don't mind too much.

[ ... And then he starts to laugh, because that's where we're heading at today. ]

I wasn't trying to--!!

[If possible, Atsushi turns even redder as Vanitas' smirk grows into a grin, and it turns out Atsushi is one of those unfortunate people who blushes all the way to his ears apparently. He couldn't really deny that Vanitas drew the eye right now, bu--]

...You don't mind?

[Well. That's.

That throws him a little.]

Uh huh.

[ It's honestly really cute.

Vanitas wasn't lying when he had told Atsushi a few times he was cute (though he flustered about a little and had pretended he said nothing instead when he got caught in it.) That being said, it took him a moment to realize the implications of his words, and Atsushi actually catching on (but of course he would, it's kind of obvious what he meant.)

His golden irises flicker over to the water, ducking his head a little. At least he doesn't look at his feet like a tool like how he did when he was younger. ]

... Yeah. I mean, obviously I'm attractive so why should I be ashamed of it?

[ His face colored a little as he made up something like a hasty excuse. ]

[Atsushi was frankly terrible when it came to receiving compliments. He reveled in praise, it was true, but that was because he was still unused to it.

Some of them were easy to accept. Others-- well.

And this was a whole other area Atsushi was unpracticed in dealing with.

At least Vanitas had some confidence in areas Atsushi didn't, and Atsushi sinks into the water a little, so red faced he's feeling a little dizzy.]

I wasn't trying to be rude and stare or anything.... Not that I'm disagreeing, because you're right....! You are, um--

[....And it's slowly clicking for Atsushi that yes, yes he was absolutely checking Vanitas out.

He feels a sudden, intense desire to just sink entirely into the water and disappear. It isn't like his head isn't boiling already.]
