Who: Reno and Makishima
What: Reno wanders modern Earth and takes a fool chance.
When: Modern times, in the last decade.
Where: England
Warnings: Possible smut, but everyone is of age and consenting.



A fateful night under the mistletoe just a few days after Reno stumbled into the boring-ass world called "Earth" and he ended up with a phone number and a lingering taste in his mouth. He waited a long time to call. Not months, but a couple of weeks, once he learned about the local holidays and realized they were meant for family and close friends, not date with strangers you snogged in bars. Well, depending on your upbringing, anyways, but he figured Makishima for a more quality figure than himself.

So it was that the day after Christmas, Makishima's phone rang and it wasn't someone from Japan or any of his relatives. It was the lazy drawl and accent of the guy from the bar.

"It's uh...it's Reno. Remember? From the party?" he offered up as gently as possible in case Maki didn't have the privacy to talk. Usually Reno didn't think about much, saying whatever he felt like when he felt like it, but the weeks of wandering around (which was actually more than a month for him, being as he went portal jumping in the meanwhile) gave him time to think about how not to screw everything up in the first hour. It was pretty sweet having time to make plans and rev himself up. Plus it meant time to beat the crap out of some punks to rip them off, shuck their wallets and get enough local scratch to take a guy out for a night on the town and not look like a cheap-ass.

Good times.

"Look uh, I know it's been a while but I thought you'd like time with the family and all. But apparently the holiday was done yesterday and I didn't want you to forget me" the Turk laughed, trying not to sound desperate. Fucking hard to do when you were playing out a seen from goddamn Lady and the Tramp. Good thing he'd never seen the movie. Loveless was bad enough.

"That dinner? Uhh...you hungry?"

"Tch...sho...I promise if that ever happens you'll know before it does." Though that didn't make much sense either. He'd already seen plenty of Reno's annoying traits, and yet...Makishima didn't think they mattered. It was no worse than Tadokoro's eating habits, or Toudou's pushy behavior. He was at least as loud if not louder than Naruko and Makishima was used to that too. Maybe at some point it would drive him up the wall to the point he said that it was enough but Makishima didn't want to think about that point or when it may come. Right now, and for once, he was more than content to live in the moment.

He went quiet as he listened to Reno talk. He couldn't really relate to what it was that Reno felt. He'd lived in a big house with thick walls, though he supposed he'd felt a little of that when his brother had first moved away. He had always been close to his older brother and suddenly having him gone had been strange. Makishima had adapted, he'd learned to live without him, and he supposed that's what Reno did too.

Coffee done, he grabbed the cups, doctored them up with cream and sugar, and brought a mug over to Reno.

"You can get comfortable, sho." He tugged on the lapel of Reno's jacket.

Makishima slowly let his hand slip from Reno's jacket. He didn't know what it was he was expecting from the Turk, but it wasn't that. The show of vulnerability and uncertainty shocked him and for a moment Makishima was terrified that Reno was leading up to a goodbye and his expression showed it. For a moment, Makishima's eyes quivered as if holding back an unexpected sadness, but they steadied again as Reno continued.

Makishima couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions among them frustration. His social status had never been a problem for him before, but he came from a school where the lines of class were so readily blurred that they'd never mattered before. Now that it did Makishima didn't know what to do about it. He couldn't just throw away his status an money, that was foolish and would get him nowhere with a person he barely knew.

He sucked in his lower lip, chewing on it slightly and took a step back away from Reno. "A-ah-h...that's fine, sho." He tried to force his voice into sounding like the whole thing didn't bother him, but he was sure he was failing. Hiding or faking his emotions had never worked for him.

He turned away, holding onto his mug and heading out to the balcony. "Take the time you need, sho!"

He wasn't going to shove Reno out the door, but he wasn't going to trust himself to stay close to Reno either. The idea of pulling the red-head too him and kissing him as deeply as he could and doing all the things he said was appealing and not just on a physical level. Makishima wasn't good with his words, and actions might do better in proving that he wanted Reno to stay. Lord he wanted Reno to stay.
irridescentspider: (don't say you lo--shock-)

Makishima leaned on the edge of the balcony holding his cup with one hand. The other was pressed to his forehead, fingers digging into his scalp and pressing hard to try and relieve some of the tension he was feeling. This was what he meant when he said he wasn't good with other people. He didn't know what to say to alleviate Reno's fears or his own. He couldn't completely discount Reno's words either. Makishima was a cynic. He always had been through no fault of his family's but his own chemical makeup. Love had never been something Makishima believed in and it was far too soon to say that particular four letter word just yet, but it was without a doubt something like it that he was feeling. All he wanted was for Reno to stay and for more than just a night. He didn't want a one night stand. He wanted a boyfriend and that was strange enough for him. He wished for a moment that Toudou was here to give him some proper advice. He was the one who had the fan club and should have had more experience than Makishima did. But Toudou hasn't texted him for weeks. Ever since Makishima told Toudou about his feelings for the mysterious red-head who'd kissed him under the mistletoe Toudou had gone silent. That in itself was weird and now Makishima was wondering about that too.

Lost in his thoughts he didn't hear Reno come out to the balcony with him and he started a little when the kiss was pressed to his temple. He settled quickly, looking away in embarrassment and staying quiet until Reno was finished.

"Do you think that matters to me, sho?" He turned to Reno, his expression wary and frustrated. "I don't care if you grew up in a hovel and don't have a penny to your name, sho!" Though part of Makishima knew he should care. Starting a relationship with a deadbeat wasn't a good idea no matter how you looked at it, but Reno wasn't that. He had a job in the government and obviously enough money to buy an expensive bike on a whim. No matter his background the Reno in front of him was what Makishima wanted and cared about.

"I don't want this to be just tonight, sho! I wouldn't have bought that coat for you if I did! I wouldn't have asked you to buy a bike, sho!" His voice was rising though he didn't mean for it to. He brought his hand to his mouth to quiet himself and looked away again.

"Ngh!" Makishima winced as his hair was tugged. He hated people tugging on his hair and the only thing that saved Reno from a slap to the face was that he was holding the coffee with that hand and doing so would have made him drop it.

It did work to get Makishima's attention and as Reno spoke he felt the annoyance and frustration drain out of him. He slumped a bit and focused on the balcony floor between their feet.

"I..." He let out a sigh and looked up at Reno again. His expression seemed shaken. "I told you I'm no good with people, sho."

His voice was quiet as he spoke, "I'm sorry. I overreacted."

Reno wasn't the only one worried about proving to be too much of a handful, but that didn't mean Makishima didn't want to try. Sure he'd seen some habits of Reno's that might prove to be annoying as hell, but the over arching feeling of attraction hadn't been beaten back either. The level of attention Reno gave him made Makishima happy. It was just enough without being too oppressive or smothering. It was a lot like someone he knew back home actually.

Makishima cheeks colored slightly at the gentle caress. He leaned into his palm without even thinking about it. "You pull my hair like that again and you might get that, sho." His expression was playful, not really upset by it now that the moment was over and done.

He turned back onto the balcony, leaning gently against Reno's arm as he sipped his own coffee. Being left handed it was easy to do that with how they'd positioned themselves.

"I don't know." He chuckled softly. "I'm...you're the first person I've ever dated, sho." It felt embarrassing to admit that. Even more so to someone who sounded like he dated and slept around quite a before settling on someone like Makishima. He had to wonder if maybe Reno was right and they weren't both in over their heads, but Makishima wanted this. For the first time in his life he wanted something like this.
irridescentspider: (given the choice -sad-)

The more intimate implications of that hair pulling didn't go completely without notice. Makishima looked away and twirled a strand idly around his finger in embarrassment.

He let his hand lower as Reno continued to explain without really saying anything. Makishima's brows furrowed as Reno talked about his own life, but he assuaged some of those fears just as quickly as they could pop up. He really didn't know anything about Reno's life however, "We have time to learn about each other, sho."

He reached over and put his hand over Reno's own.

"You don't have to tell me everything all at once. We have time and...If we fit together enough from who we are then we can work around everything else sho." As long as Reno promised he was safe that was enough for him.

"A lot of that is the past sho." Makishima chuckled. He knew what Reno meant, and he had no problem talking about it. His only point was that Reno was his future.

"I went to school in Chiba. That's a prefecture in Japan. I started cycling there for the Sohoku Bicycling Club, that's the school I went to, Sohoku. I wasn't very good though." He smiled in lopsided way, almost grimacing at the memory of who he once was. "The senpai's...ah...older members in the club would call me turtle because of my hair and how slow I was."

It was embarrassing to admit, but Reno had shared a lot of personal things about himself so he could do the same couldn't he?

"I got better and by the time I was a second year I was a regular on the team. We competed in that years Inter High but we didn't win." The smile started to turn to a more cocky one. "We wont next year at the 41st Inter High all thanks to one of the freshman that had joined. It...it was a really great moment for all of us sho." He'd never forget that. Standing on the winners podium with his team and knowing that they had finally made it.

"I had to leave shortly after that to come here. School years are different in Japan. They start in April, but here they start in September." His expression turned a little sad again. "I left a lot of my friends behind, but my brother was here and it's what I wanted for my career so..." He went quiet, looking out at the city before them, though from three floors up there wasn't much to see. "I'm still getting used to it."
irridescentspider: (idiot -annoy-)

"What thing, sho?" Makishima had been using that verbal tick for so long he barely realized he was doing it anymore. It wasn't really on purpose as it had been once upon a time and now it was completely natural.

He wasn't sure if Reno was serious about the turtle thing. When the whole point was to be fast it wasn't exactly a compliment. He had shown them though. In the end it was the turtle who'd won the race, only then he'd become a spider.

It had been awhile since the two of them had come out onto the balcony, and while Reno still had his jacket on Makishima was only in his button up shirt. A breeze blew over them and Makishima shivered a bit despite the warm coffee in his stomach.

[personal profile] irridescentspider 2016-03-02 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Breathy sound?" Makishima looked confused for a bit until he understood what Reno meant. He ended up turning away out of embarrassment again once he did but he ended up looking back when Reno put the coat around his shoulders.

The heat Makishima had been trying to keep out of his cheeks rose up at the kind gesture. He wasn't used to people doing those sort of things for him. He wasn't used to it at all actually. He tilted his head away again, breathing in and surprised to find that despite Reno just having received the coat his scent was already on it. Makishima breathed in deep, eyes closing for a moment as he took in Reno's smell. He smelled good. So good actually. He felt a little shiver of arousal go through him, a feeling he wasn't unused to, but one that was never brought about by a real live person.

His eyes opened at the question, looking back and arching an eyebrow as he tried to figure out just what Reno was trying to ask him.

"Eh?"
irridescentspider: (Don't embarrass me -blush-)

[personal profile] irridescentspider 2016-03-05 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
In an instant Makishima's cheeks went as red as Reno's hair. The contrast to his pale skin and against the green hair framing his face was quite striking.

"I," he stuttered for a moment. "No. You're my first." He looked away. "In everything."

That could either be a comfort to Reno or a horrible anxiety. On the one hand Makishima had nothing to go on for comparison. On the other it also meant Reno was setting the bar and who knew what kind of lofty expectations Makishima might have had. At the moment he was quite literally the blushing virgin. For some reason he felt like he should apologize for that but there really wasn't anything to apologize over. Makishima was 18 hardly old enough that being a virgin would be weird. It was only out of a mild sense of prudishness in that Makishima didn't really like being touched. Reno was an exception. He was an exception on a lot of things actually.

"I mean I'm not naive I know what sex is sho." And masturbation but that wasn't the same thing.
irridescentspider: (I suppose -blush-)

[personal profile] irridescentspider 2016-03-05 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"I wouldn't know sho." Makishima chuckled nervously and looked out over the city again. "We've already had a first kiss." Several in fact (Though that made them not first kisses but second and thirds, etc.) and they had all been perfect.

"If," He paused and took a long drink of his coffee as if it was alcohol and he was steeling himself for something. "If you want to find out, I won't stop you sho."

Was it moving too fast? It was their first date and Makishima barely knew this person except...Except it had been the best date, night even, that he'd ever had. Something about Reno, brash and annoying though he could be, that really attracted Makishima too him. He hadn't laughed or smiled like this in a very long time with a single person. Actually he wasn't sure he ever had a night or connection with anyone quite like this before.
irridescentspider: (in between our -love-blush-)

[personal profile] irridescentspider 2016-03-05 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Makishima stayed quiet as Reno spoke. He stayed quiet for a variety of reasons, among those the pure and simply fact that he wanted Reno to get out his feelings, but the larger part was that as Reno spoke and he imagined what all they could get into his body was starting to react. He could imagine the feeling of Reno's lips on his skin, the rough caress of Reno's hands along his body the small river of Reno's hair tickling and blending with his own and he could guess and how good that final intimacy may also feel. More than that the minute those lewd words were out of his mouth Makishima felt his mind and body open completely to the idea.

"It doesn't have to be a one night stand sho," Makishima said with a breathy exhale that was part groan.

He closed the distance between them, wrapping his arms around Reno's shoulders and brought his lips up against the red-head's in a strong, lingering kiss until he had to pull away to say, "Let's go to my room."

There was no hesitance in his voice though he was nervous. Frankly he was terrified, but he wanted this. Lord help him he wanted this. He wanted to fall asleep beside Reno, tucked against his arm, and wake up to the smell of burning food if that was what happened. He wanted to share more laughs with Reno and he didn't want them to end.

Geeze, since when had Makishima been a romantic? But maybe, just maybe, he was a little homesick and a little lonely too and here had been Reno to fill that place in his heart. Yes, he wanted him. He wanted him badly.
