( you don't need to. it's his own fault for it needing to be a thing in this particular scenario, but we also kiiinda think toji likes doing it. we'll allow it. )
wasnt planning on it but if youre gonna be bossy i might take my time
( jk he's being a brat for the sake of being one, and he really needs to stop that shit when there's free food involved.
so. he will come sauntering up shortly. looking a little bit like he's taking his time. )
If you're trying to get yourself spanked before dinner, it's not gonna work because I don't reward brat behavior.
[ toji drawls this out in greeting, waiting at the base of kakashi's place leaned back against the tree. he motions cain to come over to him, not all that fussed in spite of his words. while toji doesn't like long stretches of nothing, it's less about impatience and more about being bored, and he's been using the wait time to check up on megumi. toji has had patience trained into him, and he has it in spades when needed.
I think you'd know if I was tryin'. ( he drawls right back on his approach, slowing his steps just a little more even if he hadn't really taken as long as he could; there are times when he wants to push toji's buttons just for the hell of it, and there are others in which he knows when he needs to tone it down, and this is one of those in-between scenarios in which he doesn't want to be too much of a brat because. well.
toji is fussed about how well he's eating. nobody ever has been before. not really. it makes his heart do stupid, flip-floppy things behind his ribs and in an effort to get it to knock it off, he pushes into the other's personal space and leans, full-body, against him.
he peers up toward where he knows the treehouse is, and then levels his gaze back in the other's direction. )
You've only ever potato-sacked me when you're walkin'. ( he muses, head tipped to the side. ) Not that I think you can't, but up a damn tree? Where's the ladder, anyway?
[ toji still isn't in a particular hurry so when cain gets right into his arms like that when he'd had every intention of pulling the little shit in once he was within arm's reach— it gets him off guard, makes him blink, trying to reevaluate the situation. and then he promptly stops trying to evaluate, because he's slotting his arms around cain's waist to cage him in, feeling the press of cain's chest against him as cain breathes in. toji steals a kiss from cain's lips before even beginning to come up with an answer, savoring the boy sweet and slow. ]
...Kakashi's psycho little wife got rid of it. You met him? Something wrong with that one. It's technically his house, I guess. Kakashi just lives here.
( yes, hello, you wanted a brat in your personal space, didn't you? isn't that precisely what you ordered?
it's what you're getting, regardless. because maybe it's gotten a little bit too easy to put himself in the other man's space, make a place for himself there like it's been there all along and he just had to find it, and maybe? maybe he'll take a bit too much pride in being able to catch him off guard. even if it doesn't last long.
he hums into the kiss, lets it linger for as long as possible before toji finally speaks up. ) Oh, him. ( he chuckles against his mouth, still not in too much of a hurry to put any space between them. ) Haku … yeah, met him. F'you can even call it that. Weird kid. ( but he likes him? in whatever way cain can like anyone just by going on what's on the surface?
sure, that makes sense. ) He brought me food. Why the hell's everybody tryin' to feed me?
And it wasn't poisoned? [ color toji surprised. though, on second thought, the specific kind of crazy haku is isn't the stupid kind, so that also tracks. he ruffles cain's hair, mulling over the question about being fed. then he pinches cain's ribs, grinning at him perhaps a bit tauntingly. ]
You gonna finally take the hint that you're too scrawny and give off the impression your main form of nourishment is being a feral racoon savaging off other peoples' plates and dumpsters?
I ate it. ( he shrugs like it's no big deal at all, thinking that's going to be the end of it but then. he's reaching to swat that hand away from his hair because did he not do that the first time you jerk and it distracts him enough that he doesn't have a chance to keep those fingers from pinching when they do, and.
okay the noise he makes is not anything close to a squeak, except it absolutely is, and he smothers it with a huff. )
Fuck you, I'm not scrawny. ( and have another huff for your trouble. ) I'm doin' just fine on my own.
Full offense, kid, but I don't trust your definition of 'fine'.
[ the squeak is cute and the fact toji finds it such is written all over the man's face. he manhandles cain once more to drag him in for a sound kiss on those huffy lips. ]
You're too lean. It might look great to your average idiot but you need more padding on those bones.
Anyway.
[ toji jabs his thumb up to indicate their destination. ]
Full offense taken. ( except. not entirely, because he's still really endeared by the fact that toji is worried about how much and how well he eats in the first place.
have we mentioned that already? because the novelty isn't about to wear off anytime soon.
and he's going to huff into that kiss, just so you know, even if he does give himself over to it a bit too damned easily. ) What I'm hearin' is you're not my average idiot. ( he grins, all cheek, the little bastard, and please note that he said my and not something … less indicative of where he's placed himself in your personal space bubble. )
Could say somethin' about what you think about my padding—( STOP. ) But yeah, okay. Food. Let's go.
( your sack of potatoes is ready to be delivered. )
Your ass looks great but it's bony as hell, [ toji quips ruthlessly, without missing a beat. he reaches around to give cain a squeeze for emphasis, then goes ahead and lifts him up to throw over his shoulder. he doesn't tell cain to hang on or anything of the sort, because he's not the kind of fuck up who drops people when he doesn't mean to. so, with cain securely slung over him, he grips the lowest handhold and starts to climb.
once they get to the top, he doesn't set cain down and instead gives the door a few quick, sharp warning raps before letting them in. ]
Kakashi, you got dinner guests so hope you have extra food.
[ well, at least toji still thinks to knock -- then again, he probably really doesn't want to sneak up on a ninja, right. but anyway, kakashi's been expecting them; it's a pleasant surprise to know that cain is involved with them both, and it's even more pleasant to see toji actually happy, he's not sure if the man's noticed it yet.
but anyway, kakashi's dressed down to the bare essentials, flak jacket and headband set aside for the evening. he's also actually prepared one hell of a feast -- chicken, potatoes, plenty of noodles and bread, and a store-bought pot roast as well as a whole load of sautéed vegetables.
then again, are they really going to be spending most of this evening eating...?
he gives cain's ass a fond pat when he comes over, and entirely on a whim, leans forward to kiss toji hello, too. ]
( it might not be an incredibly long way up, and he might have gotten a little too used to being carried around like this, but he still makes somewhat of a grumpy noise in the back of his throat when he isn't immediately set down — even more so when kakashi pats his ass, not out of any sort of upset but. at least set him down, first!
so maybe he'll struggle the smallest bit with the addition of: ) All the blood's goin' to my head, old man … ( until toji gets the hint and puts him down. if you wanna keep him close you're more than welcome, he's not going to say no, but he'd at least like to not start feeling all dizzy and lightheaded while you're doing it.
he's not used to seeing kakashi so dressed down — at least not unless he's in the middle of stripping down entirely, but that's neither here nor there — and the older man is sure to notice the way cain gives him a good once-over, appreciative, with a small grin. )
Didn't know there was a designated dinner time. ( he muses, and even though he remembers what he'd promised haku: ) I tend to drop in unannounced more often than I don't. ( he nudges toji with a shoulder, almost playful. ) Sure he doesn't help.
