he hisses softly, sucking in a quick breath through his teeth because ow that kind of hurts. he knows he’ll be better for it when izumo is finished, however, so he remains still.
“did…did you just make a pun?” he grins despite his partner not able to see it. you can hear it in his voice, “i’m so proud of you.”
he feels him tense briefly and slows, pressure changing to something gentle and lingering. ‘ mhm. ‘ a short chuckle. ‘ just for you. ‘
a brief kiss is pressed into that wild mop of hair. ‘ i can be funny too, sometimes. shocking, i know. ‘
he purrs out a low hum, a grateful response as his muscles give in to his partner’s fingers. a chuckle is give, a soft rumble in his chest, “sweeter than syrup, that’s for sure.”
there’s a knot there, just between his shoulder blades, tension locked tight all across his back and neck. izumo digs the heel of his palm in there, smile quirking his mouth as he rubs, rubs, over his shoulders and down his spine.
