[ He closes his eyes, a little uncomfortably aware of Leon's presence as he does so. He doesn't really want to think about how he's being perceived right now...
But, mostly because he doesn't want to have to feel defensive about enjoying himself. He breathes in and out slowly, concentrating on the warm feeling of pleasure still lingering. ]
[With Togami's eyes closed, it's safe to watch him in the afterglow . . . which is really appealing. Maybe he'd hate to know that, but there it is. After a few moments of comfortable silence, Leon reaches out to brush his hair back from his face, oddly compelled. It turns out screwing a guy doesn't make him feel any less affectionate about it afterwards. Huh. That's . . . something to think about some other time.
He doesn't linger too lovingly, but the touch feels good.]
[ He does crack his eyes open at that. A few minutes is enough to regain his composure in demeanor, if not in appearance. So he just gives Leon a mild, quizzical look. ]
[Joke's on you, Togami. Leon reaches up to fluff it up again, laughing. He's surprised by how . . . not terrible everything feels in the aftermath. Maybe later he'll freak out, but right now, it doesn't feel like a friendship was ruined or anything. (Maybe that's because you have to have low standards of friendship for Togami anyway.)]
[At first, he doesn't get the implication of that gesture; it just feels good. Or, more accurately, it's unexpectedly erotic. His eyelids flutter, and his eyes go a little darker, watching Togami's finger write on him . . .
Oh. Ohhhhhh! Right. That was. What they were here for and all! He recovers, clearing his throat quietly and ignoring the way he can feel his cheeks going just a little hot with embarrassment. There'd been a question too—]
—Uh, yeah, I guess I did. I mean, the experiment was a success, that's all I wanted, ha ha! Or I guess if it hadn't been, that would've been fine . . . at least I would've known.
[But he's glad it was one, to his own surprise.
He moves his own hand down to trace a finger along Togami's side. He doesn't actually have anything to "say," though, so at first he just traces meaningless shapes, and then finally, he just writes YES.]
[ He's relieved that Leon picks up on it again after being so ... thoroughly distracted. His expression softens, but he goes right ahead to continue. ]
That's good.
[ He puts his free arm around Leon, pulling himself closer to hide, and writes: FLAMINES DEAL. ]
[Sure, they can just lie here and draw on each other. That's a normal thing people do after sex. Actually, it's the fact that it could easily be a normal thing they were doing after sex that makes it so weird somehow . . . the idea of lying around lazily in bed tracing over someone's skin is pretty hot. And pretty not a thing that'd normally happen between them specifically.
But CERES doesn't have to know that!
He frowns a little at the words, though. What? His own finger keeps tracing along Togami's side, well obscured by Leon's body on him.]
[ Just have to fake it until you make it. That is, now they're locked into a fate of physical affection indefinitely just to pretend they're acting "normal". Togami will do a whole lot in order to succeed!!1 ]
YES
[ Now that they can touch each other as much as they want without being suspected (...even if it's in a different way than previously planned...) he can take the time to write out his thoughts fully. ]
[ Well that's rude. He tries not to frown, since that would ruin the image of their innocent lovers' embrace. But he looks very deliberately neutral instead. ]
[The insult was directed at the Flamines, but it's not like he's clarifying that. And he's frowning, a little, because he can't quite keep it off his face considering the conversation. Here he'd been thinking about maybe masking this touch-talk with some more fooling around or something, but it turns out this isn't really conducive to that. Yet, anyway.]
[ Hmmm. It's probably not a good idea to look bored while doing this either, which is his default "I don't want to make an expression" expression, but, at least it's better than nothing. This probably would be getting boring by now if they weren't actually having a conversation. Just saying, ]
[ He maybe draws a single stroke with his finger, not enough to even be sure he was starting to write something, before the TICKLES ATTACK. He jumps a little, crying out in surprise. ]
[Aw. Leon was enjoying the cuddling. But sure, whatever; he rolls onto his back and stretches out, enjoying that too, looking down his own naked body.
. . . There's a little. Spot. On his stomach there, which he swipes up with his fingertip and considers sticking in his mouth for half a second, but then instead he wipes it on Togami's shoulder. That belongs to you, dude.]
[ He grimaces, recoiling a little. He's had enough of a cooldown period that he has started to forget why this was appealing in the first place!! But he wipes it off with his bare hand to smear it on the sheets, not really pretending like the rest of him is perfectly clean. ]
That's a bold thing to say this far into the entertainment. If I'm "no fun", you're the one who chose to keep not having fun. [ A little overly serious of a reaction, but he's kinda switched gears by now. ]
I'm just teasing you, man. You turn right off, don't you?
[Jerk. Leon's switched gears out of horny mode, but not out of sated and affectionate mode, unfortunately for both of them. He rolls over to drape an arm over Togami, like 75% just because he knows it'll bother him.]
Rough audience . . . maybe I've gotta wear you out more than this next time.
[ An arm at least isn't as offensive, although it's annoying in context. He finally glances over to make eye contact again. ] So there's a next time, now?
[He kind of shrugs. Kind of because that's weird to do lying down, but he makes the attempt anyway, moving his shoulders and blowing some sweaty hair out of his eyes. Now that they've done this . . . he feels calmer about it. Or maybe it's that weird feather thing again . . .
Whatever, he'll take it. It's nice not to be stressed.]

[He notices the boredom, and after writing that last bit, and a brief pause, he suddenly tickles Togami's side with his fingertips.]

I would be interested to see if you could manage something like that, but I doubt you'll actually make it very far...
