[ Aoba quiets when he suggests something more hands-on, but as he curls his hands into loose fists, the touch on his neck eases that tension before it builds. ]

Wouldn't that be a little difficult right now?

[ It doesn't occur to him that by 'show me' might mean he doesn't have to wait, he could, you know. ACTUALLY TOP. FOR A CHANGE. But Aoba rubs his flushed face on the sheets before turning his face completely to look up at him, curious. ]

[ Surely he's not asking what he thinks he's asking... they're friends, roommates... definitely close, closer than what's considered normal? Hearing him say that he wants to be close to him and explaining how he makes him feel, it's embarrassing and relatable and he really... likes him. Even though he's a ridiculous nerd. So Aoba thinks he's being teased with that elusive 'officially boyfriends' carrot being dangled before him, teased for having a crush on him. Is he just trying to rile him up? ]

Why does this sound like you're proposing something, are you making fun of me? [ He reaches over and pinches his side in retaliation. ]
