[Sugata doesn't know that he just stood there in order to make sure he didn't do something utterly stupid... but now that's all thrown out the window, isn't it. Takuto's breath catches in his throat as Sugata leans in and looks at him with those golden eyes, and even though he tries to remain strong he can't help but melt just a little, his lips softening around Sugata's.]

[peacocked]

[he presses his lips firmly against takuto's as he runs the hand he had resting on takuto's shoulder up his neck. his hand slowly ghosts it's way over the other's jaw as he places his hand on takuto's cheek. he gently caresses the soft skin with his thumb as he tucks away a few stray hairs behind takuto's ear. after a couple of seconds of just having his lips pressed against takuto's he gently parts his lips and moves them slowly against the other. it's almost as if he's trying to say something but nothing comes out.

and as quickly as it was started he pulls away once more.]

I always think it's best that you make eye contact with the person you're about to kiss before you kiss them. It spices things up by bringing things to a whole new level. As far as kissing goes though, you never want to actually stick your tongue in the other person's mouth. I find that to be rather intimate. Of course if your partner doesn't mind it then that's your call. But most tend to part their lips slightly. If the audience can see our lips moving then they'll make up the rest.

[Sugata pulling away so suddenly is like a rug being pulled out from under him. Where on earth had Sugata learned to do that? And why is he doing it to Takuto so well and giving him the impression it's all one big play-acting tease?

This isn't at all fair. He tries to pretend he's not really trying to catch his breath a little and instead makes a show of listening to Sugata's comments.]

Um. So. Eye contact, then open mouth kiss with no tongue. [Easy enough, right? Though how had Sugata turned into the director? Granted, he knows what he's doing more than Takuto does....

And Takuto takes a deep breath, staring into Sugata's eyes as he places his hand on the back of Sugata's neck and pulls him closer for a kiss. He's got to make this one believable or else he'll be stuck kissing Sugata all afternoon....]

[peacocked]

[he's had more experience with acting. and he watches a lot of movies. and kind of picks them apart, but shhhssh also srry, he won't take over again. he just.... well-- he needed to give takuto tips on giving better kisses on stage.]

That would be it, yes.

[and with that he let's takuto take the initiative. he never really realized what a beautiful shade takuto's eyes were. and with that he finds himself inching closer and closer to the other without any assistance. he shivers slightly when he feels takuto place his hand on his neck.]

[tauborn]

[Mouth slightly open, he lets his lips massage Sugata's and it's far too good. It's the kind of kiss that is likely to get him into trouble, and he can't help but wonder if Sugata's acting is good enough to come up with a shiver like that.

He lingers, probably too long, before pulling back slowly. He's not going to be the hero that pulls the rug out from under the heroine, after all. His eyes blink open gently as he looks back at Sugata, still only a few inches away.]

L-like that, then.

[Cue the return of his blush in three... two...]

[peacocked]

[sugata returns the kiss with as much fervor. he parts his lips slightly and moves it gently against the other. he briefly wonders why everything went dark before realizing that his eyes shut. it also takes a good part of him not to lean back in for another kiss. he knows deep down inside that this isn't right, but... his friend needed the help? it was a petty excuse, but an a excuse nonetheless.

his voice catches a little in his throat.] A-ah, hmn. Yes, that was good. Much better than your first. We can move on now.

[tauborn]

[He tries to quench the tiny feeling of smug triumph at the way Sugata's voice stumbles after the kiss. That's totally not at all how he should be feeling about this rehearsal.

They really really needed to move on. He clears his throat and quickly moves to retrieve his script, keeping his eyes on the paper.]

So, the, um, the next part is ... your line "I fear I will never see you again."

[peacocked]

[sugata nods slowly as he widens the space in between the two. he clears his throat once more as he focuses on keeping his pitch higher and softer than it was just moments ago. he lowers his head and places a hand on takuto's chest.]

I fear I will never see you again.

[tauborn]

[Takuto smiles, tossing his script to the side and forcing his blush away. This was serious business drama club after all. And reassuring people is a natural role for him, so he relaxes just a little.]

Of course you will.

[peacocked]

But what if something happens to you? [he looks up sadly at takuto. thankfully that isn't entirely too hard to play up.]

[tauborn]

Hear this now. [And Takuto places his hands on Sugata's hands, pulling them together between the two of them. This is exactly like he's rehearsed with Feferi.]

I will always come for you.

[peacocked]

[sugata smiles for a brief moment before his lips droop into a frown. he averts his gaze as he looks off to the side momentarily before zoning back in on takuto. his grip tightens a little as he squeezes takuto's hand.]

But how can you be sure?
