[ Rayne is drawn in, their lips pressed together in a way that was both familiar and not. His eyes shut slowly into the kiss, as he settles in. The taste of his lips, the feeling of them against his own, weren't new by any means. It was, however, something that Rayne felt he was still learning, something that he appreciated the moment to learn more about, to explore without any rush.
His own tongue presses against Cloud's, slips past the other's lips to do exploring of his own. The tip of his tongue presses against the other's lower lip, tracing him, before retreating to allow him to nip at Cloud's lip in return, not wanting to part even when they needed to breathe.
Not that he kept the kiss going, when the kiss was broken. Rayne breathes out a soft, contented sigh. He'd relaxed enough now, and even more so with that sweet little kiss they shared.
Did Cloud have to go so soon?
They shouldn't rush this. Whatever this was-- no, it's a friendship, right? That's what they're doing, becoming friends. ]
One more, [ Rayne demands in a soft murmur, tilting his head to capture Cloud's lips in another kiss. The last one for the moment, before they part for the day. His own hand slips up to cup Cloud's cheek, as he leans in further. ]
( he doesn't have to go, but it feels important that he does. something about all of this with rayne says they should slow down, take their time. that they could figure it out as they went along and could get to know one another on their own terms and not at the whim of the city.
so, cloud kisses him with that in mind.
it's just as slow and just as gentle as the first one, carefully easing into it until something shifts between them and he's tugging rayne into his lap. the position will make it difficult for cloud, but he can reach him better like this. he can touch him more, feel the way he reacts without added stimulation. his hands smooth down rayne's back, holding him there as he breaks the kiss to mouth at his jaw, that spot between his neck and ear. it doesn't offer him much of a reprieve, pressing his face lightly to rayne's shoulder even as his fingers lightly fist in the material of his shirt. )
More than that, and I won't leave.
( but he will. he said he would. it's just some quiet affirmation to prove he means what he says despite (currently) doing the opposite. )
[ Another kiss, as he'd asked for. Cloud reciprocated as he'd hoped, accepted the single kiss more. Rayne presses close, his own side gentle and slow until that something shifts. Then, he's becoming more eager, slipping easily into Cloud's lap as he's tugged.
The hands against him earn a small shiver, a tiny gasp in the kiss. As it breaks, Rayne leans into the feeling of Cloud's mouth against his jaw, biting back a soft noise as he feels the way he explores against his skin.
Swallowing heavily, he leans his head to one side, pressing his cheek to the top of Cloud's head, his hand coming up to rest against the back of it for a second's time. ]
I'd tell you to stay, but...
[ But Cloud had made it clear. They needed to part for now, to take it easy. Not rush into anything, even if their bodies reacted so easily to the kisses they shared. ]
We'll see each other again. We should do something soon.
[ He doesn't have to elaborate, right? Doesn't have to explain just what he means by that? That, he wants to hang out, to do something that friends do. Not necessarily anything more than that. Whatever they felt like, in the moment, without any outside pressures. Carefully, he begins to untangle himself from Cloud, to move back onto the couch beside him, despite how much he wanted to stay right there in his lap, to kiss him until they couldn't breathe, to push themselves beyond the point of no return.
