kazu 2.0 au

[collateraldamaging]

The battle hadn't gone great, but once again they'd survived. And Kazu expects that when he opens his eyes, he'll be back in his gen:LOCK pod. There's no reason to suspect differently, after all... a battle ends, they return to transport or base, and download back to their bodies before hitting uptime. He's done it so much at this point it's become second nature, but this time he can tell something isn't right. He doesn't feel the chamber at his back or hear anything... and when he does open his eyes again he finds that he's in the Hub. Not even his personal space, just the void.

And the only person there is Val.

The fact that it's Val in front of him is all that keeps him from immediately trying to download again, and he steps forward with a deeply confused expression.

"What's going on?" Because Val doesn't look confused. He looks... Kazu can't place it the emotion in his eyes, actually. "We're at uptime, we need to go."

They're not mindsharing, which makes it all the more impressive how Val is adjusting to exactly what he likes most. Kazu does his best to watch and take in the show, heat flaring in him every time their eyes meet, but eventually he has to just lie back trustingly and drop his other hand to the sheets too. Val doesn't need the guidance, clearly.

If working him up was the goal, Val's achieved that and then some. Which means he should probably ease up soon if he doesn't want this to be over, though Kazu finds himself wondering about physical stamina too... maybe they can experiment another time.

"Val..?"

No guidance needed at all, and the show doesn't stop for a single second until Kazu speaks up. Val raises a brow, as if he can't tell exactly why Kazu is saying his name right now, that glint in his eye again. He hums and withdraws, presses a kiss to the tip and asks, oh so fake innocently, "Yes?"

That hand still wrapped around him idly strokes, and Val does not move far enough for the way his lips move or his breath not to be felt against the skin.
