( With a huff, and an unwilling shift of his weight back in response to the push, his ass falls off his own heels and to the seat itself. He's losing his leverage, here, so his answer is to move his free hand up and grab at that stupid little braid, yanking it to one side. )
Stop pushing me, too! There's no way you have any idea what you're doing, so behave a little, you stubborn little cockroach.
( Fingers curl over his stomach, dipping a little lower, but not fully committing, just yet. Genya is probably watching in horror somewhere outside of the rotating car, by now. )
( Okay, okay, he gets it! Esikko quickly abandons the braid with the slap, reaching up to grab at the offending wrist of the hand in his own hair, instead. Fingernails dig in hopelessly to skin, hoping to pry him off. )
I don't want you to just lie there, but you should at least lie down! Unless you're trying to ride me?
( Like that's the only reason he'd be on his own back, here... He's being fussy. )
[He lets go pretty quickly, at least - though not without an entirely unnecessary shove at the side of Esikko's head. Just to be annoying.]
Absolutely not. [For one thing, that's not a position he really has experience with, and if he's going to figure it out it sure won't be with This Guy--]
What, do you only know how to do that from one angle?
( Ouch?! Releasing Toma's wrist, he rubs at his head where it was shoved, eyes closing briefly in his annoyance. Anger is bubbling inside of him, but he's also very keenly aware of the sort of damage Toma could do, if he decided to, and so he's not being nearly as much of a brat as he could be. Shockingly. But... )
Oh, shut up, we're in a tiny little ferris wheel car, you idiot. Unlike some people, I have long, beautiful legs, so.
( So...! He now leans forward more pointedly, hoping it catches Toma off guard enough to tackle him back down, but honestly... it could also just result in nothing at all other than an angry sort of embrace. One that's followed, at least, by a kiss.
Put this anger to productive work, right? So it's an angry kiss, all the same. )
What is that supposed to mean? You aren't that much taller than me--
[Aaand congratulations, Esi, that is a successful tackle, the surprise force knocking Toma back down onto the seat. He might also bonk his head on the wall a little bit. Ow.
More offensive, though, is, of all things, the kiss - angry though it may be. Esikko gets a moment of surprise from Toma before he grabs for his jaw again, pointedly turning his own head away.] --Don't do that.
[Ugh, he can feel that his face is starting to get red. He's not sure how much of that is anger and how much is embarrassment, but it's sure happening - enough so for that little scar on his nose to get a lot more visible.]
( Esikko yanks his face in a turn of his own, to try and break free of that grab, too focused on keeping his hands at Toma's shoulders, like that might keep him in place. But the moment he gets a good look at him, realization sets in, and he leans closer still, really peering. )
You're... embarrassed?
( Unfortunately for Toma, Esikko laughs at this. It's bright, too genuine, not like the sort of laughs he gave in those false polite moments, not the ones he passed along in thinly veiled aggression. This is truly just that he finds it funny. )
Oh, you really are so new to this, you poor thing! ( He's far too pleased about it, too. ) What's the matter? Is that far too intimate? Won't it help you relax? I didn't even manage to make it good, or anything, it was so simple...
( Despite his prodding and teasing, though, he notably... does not kiss him again. Not with such a serious refusal to it. He can work without it, of course, but he happens to like kissing, himself. Still, that's not a line he's going to press, not even for someone he hates.
Instead, a finger moves to tease at one of Toma's earlobes, a little flick, just to see if he'll get brighter. If he's sensitive. )
Relax, I'm not going to force you, or anything. It's an easy way to grow comfortable in it, is all.
[UuuUUUUGH. Absolute nightmare. Toma avoids Esikko's gaze - not that that'll save him from how damn annoying the prince is about it.]
I am not. New to this. [Half true. He's not new to sex. He is new to sex with people he hasn't known his whole life.
Honestly, he is halfway expecting Esikko to try again - ready to respond with yet more force, if he does. ...But it doesn't happen. Toma's eyes narrow slightly, as though that itself is somehow suspicious - but he drops his hand back to the seat.
He flinches a little at the flick to his earlobe - but does, indeed, get a bit redder. Definitely attributing that one to anger.]
There is no making this comfortable. It is what it is, so we may as well just get it over with - unless all this time-wasting is meant as a hint you'd rather I take care of you, instead.
[Defensively hurrying him along... would you rather be the one with your dick out, huh, Esikko!!]
Edited (html flub + adding a cw for safety) 2025-07-20 15:34 (UTC)
( How he won't say "dick" unless he's already in a more aggressive context... His princely silliness continues. But still, even if he's a little huffy about not being able to even enjoy it a little with kissing, there's clearly other ways to embarrass Toma here.
And so, finally, he dips one hand between them, trailing a pointed line from hip bone to his length, palming simply over it as he kisses near his ear, instead. )
Better? ( Is that spoken into his ear on purpose? Absolutely. ) Try and relax a little, won't you?
Now, why not? [And, parroting Esikko's earlier phrasing, just to be a shit:] Not afraid, are you?
[Honestly. Being cautious is probably a good call. Sure, if presented with Esikko's dick right now, Toma's priority would in fact be to do what he's got to, get him off, and get out of here!
...But that isn't necessarily a guarantee that he wouldn't decide he had a more fun idea at some point.
Now, instead, Toma holds carefully, deliberately still. All that effort isn't quite enough to prevent a faint shiver, a twitch of his inner thigh, as Esikko palms him. He breathes slowly in, and out again.] I am.
Afraid of whatever diseases you might be carrying, perhaps.
( A low sort of dig, but it's one he makes while distracted in the moment, anyway. He doesn't actually care about that, doesn't actually think there's anything to worry about other than straight up violence and control, but he's absolutely not getting into that. Instead, he's focused, and Toma is actually only feeding into it.
After all, the more Toma tries to keep aloof and still, the more rewarding it feels when he earns those shivers and twitches. He nudges his face closer, palming at him a few more times as his teeth dare to nip at his jaw. )
You are not. ( Spoken with amusement, though, as his long fingers wind their way around Toma's length. Not fully hard, understandably, but he has no problem working him up to there, squeezing along the base and dragging up. Testing, paying attention. )
No need to worry; in fact-- whatever you're carrying won't be able to take hold, either.
[Unnecessary... but, in his opinion, Esikko opened that door, alright.
Toma answers the nip with an irritated sound - but he doesn't protest out loud or pull away like he had when Esikko kissed him. He breathes in and out again, reflexively squirming a little bit as Esikko handles him before he clamps down on the reaction - though that is, admittedly, getting a little harder to do.]
I-- am.
[Literally no point to that lie, but here we are.]
How, exactly, do you feel that being so stubborn over the dumbest of things aids you?
( Though his sentence is a little breathy from the distraction of kissing at warm skin, Esikko manages the tone of someone unimpressed and annoyed all the same. It's a strange contrast to the soft way his hand squeezes around his dick, slender fingers taking care to trace up along the vein along the underside, gently stimulating. There's caution and a kindness in motions like this that don't reflect in the rest of Esikko's everything, too tender, too attentive to the details of Toma's reacting body.
Esikko's eyes are sharp as he peers up to catch glimpses of Toma's expression as he dips lower still, mouth drawing lines of kisses and nips. From neck to collarbone, matched with the swipe of a thumb over a sensitive head. )
It only makes it more satisfying to unwind you, you know. ( Smug. )
[Absolutely infuriating. How is every word out of this man's mouth so irritating - doubly so when it's getting gradually more difficult to come up with a response. Because, extra annoyingly, turns out Esikko is pretty good at this.
One might think that would be a bright side, but no. Toma would legitimately prefer if Esikko turned out to suck at this. At least then he could mock him for it.
Instead, he's stuck with his stupid dick getting hard from Esikko of all people's stupid hand. He struggles to keep his gaze focused, brow creasing - only to look hurriedly away, flushed lips clamping stubbornly together, when Esikko glances up at him.
He shudders, fingers curling into the seat.] Sh-shut up.
( He laughs, because what else can he do to a response like that? If there's a winning side of this, he feels like he's on it, and that's all he needs to have a good time right now. Even if it does feel a bit weird to have absolutely no touch from this at all, in return. His head dips lower for it, dedicating himself solely to working Toma up, and hums when his face is over his chest. )
Too embarrassed? But you're so quiet, yourself.
( Another drag of his hand over sensitive skin, picking up a pace that aims to draw Toma further along, carefully tracing the shape of him. And his mouth lowers, breath ghosting over a nipple. )
Make some noise, if you don't want me to.
( —and he covers that nipple with his own lips, a testing swipe of a tongue to see if this gets nearly as much of a negative reaction as the actual kiss did. )
[There is a reason Toma isn't touching Esikko, honestly - and it isn't even out of spite or disgust. He can feel his Tao flaring, arousal and frustration colliding; without any certainty as to where the current may concentrate in a given moment, it's a little hard to say whether touching the man would be... well. Safe.
When he kills him, he'd rather it not be 1. by accident 2. in a ferris wheel cabin 3. while Esikko is giving him a handjob.
...At the very least, with Toma's hands having been tied for his first two encounters here, this is what really tells him that he'd better work on his Tao control during sex. Dammit. This shit is never a problem with Chobe - sure, if he accidentally grips too hard or puts off an unexpected burst of Tao, he'll feel bad, but Chobe will be okay.
Esikko may get a hint of that problem, actually, when he picks up the pace - and Toma's grip tightens, the force ripping the velvet seat. Yeah. Whoops.]
You-- [He pulls in another breath - and, apparently out of pure spite, presses a hand over his mouth, muffling a low whine.
Give him a second.] 'M not-- embarrassed. Y-you're annoying.
( It's unfortunate, that these reactions are cute, that the ripping of the seat is a little sexy, that any of these things could have been a little more fun if it weren't Toma here beneath him. Being called annoying is laughable, when he's squirming like he is, when he's clearly holding back his sounds, but it still manages to get under his skin.
So in a way, this is still fun. He enjoys watching Toma struggle, staying calm above him, stroking him in a way that increases that tension only to slow his hand and pause, finger pressed over the slit of his head, like he has to consider even continuing. He's toying with him, of course. )
Annoying? ( His mouth closes over a nipple again, teeth just barely grazing sensitive skin before dragging the flat of his tongue over it. He pulls back after that, so he can truly look down at the other, wiggling his finger to drive that building pressure to unbearable levels.
His eyes narrow, because he's trying not to get too into this himself. The goal here is to give a handjob, but there's still a little pleasure to be gained just from watching this. )
So are you. So should I stop, then? ( The smallest pinch at his throbbing tip. Really... what makes him want to tease someone who just gripped a hole into the seat? ) Right here?
[Keeping quiet is getting increasingly, infuriatingly difficult as Esikko goes - and it may be just through sheer force of spite that Toma feels almost triumphant when Esikko suddenly stops, frustrating as his body may find the sudden drop in stimulation.
Granted, that bit of unearned smugness is a little tough to maintain when Esikko - of course - continues to tease him. Dammit. Toma presses his hand tighter to his mouth, the muscles of his stomach tense as he tries to keep his breathing under control, to keep from gasping.]
F-feel free-- [A soft sound, despite himself, at the sudden pinch. Worse still, he can feel the too-familiar sting of tears building. For fuck's sake. Well, it still won't stop him from scoffing at Esikko's threat.] --Feel free, if you're alright just staying here.
( He squeezes a little more, like he's fully prepared to give Toma blueballs in the middle of this ferris wheel attraction. His body leans closer, eyes narrowing like it's a challenge, and his other hand moves to splay flat across Toma's chest. His other hand teases a little, a small stroke cut off by another squeeze. )
This is fine, then? You're that stubborn?
( He is absolutely watching those eyes get watery. )
[Prideful though he may be, Toma is not above discarding that pride if the situation calls for it - be that feigning acquiescence to appease a so-called comrade, or slicing off his hair to beg a swordsman he can't stand to train him.
This, however, is not one of those situations. Absolutely not, no way, he refuses.
So, despite those tears, and a small, involuntary twitch as Esikko squeezes him again:] Try me.
[This is fine and not ridiculous at all. If Esikko insists on keeping this up, he'll just be wasting his own time too, anyway.]
( ...Huh. The tears are kind of nice to witness, even if his attitude is annoying as hell. He wants to break him for it, if only to show he can, if only as some sort of payback, for making Dabi hurt himself like he did.
So his hand moves again, but in tortuous little strokes, at first. )
That would be boring. So I'll draw it out, then. Since you don't mind waiting.
( Since he won't beg for it, in other words, he's absolutely going to edge him like crazy. His hand strokes, faster, harder, uneven and unpredictable, and each time he feels him getting close to climax, he squeezes to stop it, fingers wrapping tight, watching his expression. His opposite hand stays flat on Toma's chest, as if it could help keep him in place, as if he's not voluntarily holding back. )
[Absolute pain in the ass-- well. Pain in the dick, more accurately.
The point is: This absolutely sucks, but there is no way Toma is conceding here. He's held out through worse things than bad sex, after all.
So he stays as stubbornly still and quiet as he can - which, granted, is a diminishing quantity, but he's sure still trying. He focuses in, as much as he can, on his breathing - keeping it as steady as possible. It's like a Taisoku training exercise. Kind of.
Treating it as a particularly difficult breathing exercise, though, only helps so much; Toma may be stubborn as hell, may be determinedly pouring concentration into each individual breath, but his body is not interested in ignoring Esikko's agonizingly inconsistent touch. Despite his own will, his hips jerk under Esikko's hand, at the painful throb each time he starts and stops.
A shudder verging on a sob interrupts his carefully-measured breaths. He presses his hands, fingers laced together, over his eyes, his cheeks too warm under his palms. This is fine!! He'll get bored eventually!!!]
( ...This was supposed to be fun, and there is something nice about seeing Toma cry and jerk and gasp from his own actions.
But it only goes so far. Esikko sighs, and the sigh is heavy enough to make his next actions clearly pointed. He slides his palm away from Toma's chest, withdrawing it as his other hand works harder. Faster, and this time without stopping, he urges him to chase that rising feeling without preventing him this time. And whenever he comes, so long as he does, Esikko continues his strokes afterwards, slowing only to be sure that he doesn't overstimulate in the sensitive afterglow, smearing mess without a care.
That care immediately vanishes the moment things are calm, and when he pulls his hand back, he wipes it with a huff across Toma's kimono. He is absolutely not giving him any credit for his stubbornness!! Not a word!! )

Stop pushing me, too! There's no way you have any idea what you're doing, so behave a little, you stubborn little cockroach.
