[The part of Gaku's brain that knows he shouldn't let himself get carried away quietly clicks off. As usual. This is why he stays home for this...

Still, he'll try to play it cool. He just smiles like a good person and looks away briefly, examining his reflection on one of the darkened monitors.]

You don't have to say things like that about me. Some people just call me stubborn and leave it at that. Why're you dressing it up?

[Ah, damn. There's the aggression again. He shakes his head and takes a deep breath. Yep. That's a mistake. His pulse is pounding in his ears--both sets--and he wants vaguely to just disappear. The prudent thing would be to leave and let Sougo lock up when he's done. But what the hell is prudent about this state? He's burning up. He's fighting urges but slowly losing, and just...

The hand on Sougo's shoulder runs down his arm slowly, fingers gentle but firm... then he takes Sougo's wrist, lifts his hand from the console, and curls his hand around his.

Does it help...?]

You know, I really do respect you. You're doing things I don't know anything about.

[He finds himself nuzzling one of those rabbit ears softly, unsure when he moved to do so. Then, sighing, he parts his lips and takes the tip of one soft ear between his teeth, scraping them over the skin and fur ever so lightly.]

I'm usually up against other Sanguis or Cordis when I'm like this. This is a little easier. I still feel like every muscle is wound up too tight, but you're not making it worse like they always do. I'll be okay once I calm down.

I'm being honest! It's more than stubbornness, it's--

[The simple act of Gaku running those long fingers down his arm sets Sougo's skin blazing even through the fabric of his cardigan, and even though he was the one who suggested this in the first place, it becomes clear as Gaku's warm hand curls around his that this idea was far more dangerous than he anticipated.

How terribly embarrassing is he, completely forgetting to speak from just that?! But just as he's about to respond to those entirely too kind words, Gaku's suddenly not only nuzzling against one of his soft rabbit ears, but taking the tip between his teeth. If this wasn't precarious before, it certainly is now, as Sougo's breath catching sharply in his throat makes his surprise very audible. Hopefully, Gaku dosn't notice him barely arching his head into it, hoping to elicit just a little more friction.]

Yaotome-san... You have too much faith in me.

[Not that it's Sougo's fault - all he can do now is take deep breaths and try to stave this off. The familiar warmth of the Iris heat has already begun to settle in, and before Sougo can hope to steel himself, he already feels like the temperature has risen enough to make him dizzy. Every semblance of respect that Gaku has for him will surely fly right out the window once he realizes what's going on.]

The Iris cycle is different from Sanguis or Cordis, but it isn't any better. [I'm going to make it worse.] If you're not used to it, I don't know how you'll react, but... I'll do everything I can to suppress it.

I have the right amount.

[That intake of breath sets Gaku on fire, though he can't tell if it's good or bad. He can't read anything right now, driven by instinct as he is. He just... if he could just get this tension out of his system he wouldn't be so apt to go after Sougo. But he'll try to soothe himself.

Gaku can't help it; he inhales again, deeply, thoughtfully, and yes, there's something different about Iris. It's a familiar sort of smell, though he can't place it, its identity lurking somewhere in the increasingly grayed out parts of his mind.

His head lowers, nose skirting along the edge of the ear, until he can bury his face in Sougo's hair. It's terribly untoward for him as a senpai of sorts, worse as an industry peer, but he can't help himself. The warmth is soothing, or so he thinks. He pulls the hand he's holding up and eases it into his own hair, near one of the usual wolf ears, encouraging Sougo to touch him in return.

His other hand comes to rest on Sougo's opposite shoulder, gripping firmly. It's not unkind, but he's really trying to ground himself.]

...I should leave, right? Go home. Hide until this is over. That's what I always do: I hide. I don't have the courage to face myself when I'm like this. I always wonder if I can push through it, but I won't let myself be around other people. I don't want to hurt you--them. Anyone.

[As far as Sougo is concerned, anyone who has faith in him at the moment has their trust sorely misplaced for a multitude of reasons.

And oh, if this entire situation wasn't precarious enough, Gaku just has to bury his perfect face in Sougo's hair, and Sougo immediately feels like he's committed an unforgivable sin for not running away when he had the chance. How many women would die to be in his place right now? Honestly, even he'd die to be in his own place in any other situation, but all of his conscious thoughts succinctly fizzle out as his hand is guided up to those unfamiliar wolf ears, far too soft not to pet just a little bit. Every bone in his body is screaming that this is dangerous, but hasn't that been evident from the start?]

I hide away too. When all three moons are out, I try to stay home and isolate myself from other people as much as possible. But...

[As if Iris couldn't take hold of him any further, he raises his other hand in a matter of moments to rest gingerly, almost delicately on Gaku's shoulder in return, simply balancing himself while affectionately petting those soft ears.]

I trust you, Yaotome-san... The moonblessings may have an enormous sway over us, but they don't completely change who we are. Even under the influence of Sanguis, I know that you won't hurt me.

[A rumbling, satisfied growl rises from Gaku, unbidden but no longer stopped or held back. The touch is soothing and stimulating at once, Gaku's mind slowly descending into terrible, terrible thoughts he's sure he'll act on now.

He's a predator right now, and Sougo is unfortunate prey. Nosing around in the other idol's hair for a moment, he considers his options. He hurt Ryuu. He knows he can hurt people like this. It'll be a cold day in hell when he does it for fun, but instinct for someone with an already fiery temper means he's a disaster right now.]

I want you.

[His lips travel up one of those ears again.]

I really do. I want to devour you. And other... other things. I can't believe I'm telling you this. It's not like I didn't think you were cute before. You seemed like you'd knock out if I complimented you even a little. Now it's just...

[Fuck.]

I want to do it more. Watch you... fall apart.

[He's going to hell. Directly. Immediately.]

[Please, please don't let Gaku realize how much that low growl makes the room feel even hotter. Sougo's only saving grace is that they aren't looking directly at each other, but it's likely not hard to imagine how flushed his face is from them being in such close proximity. He'll never let himself close that distance between them, of course... Wanting to move in closer is inevitable, but he tries to hold out and only let his hand fall to curl into Gaku's surprisingly soft hair, hoping to ground himself just a little.

But as the next words finally sink in and his eyes go wide, there's no hope of holding back. And as Gaku continues on, each sentence more precarious and appealing than the last, yet another tremulous gasp reflexively escapes him.]

I... [Dammit. His voice is already breathy, shallow with what he hopes isn't identifiable as yearning.] I'd let you.

[God, no. The words spill out before he can take them back, and rather than try to stop the next ones, something in him urges them to come out unbidden.]

Eagerly. Without restraint. [This can't be happening.] I'd let you do anything you wanted to me.

[That's all Gaku needs to hear for his last thread of control to snap. He growls again, a low rumble at first as he lowers his lips to Sougo's neck. Scraping sharp canines over his skin, inhaling deeply, he's increasingly aware that something really is going on with Iris.]

Anything?

[Sweet words from Sougo. An invitation, really. And Gaku's tone is low and sensual, even if he is losing the battle with his better judgement. One hand, fingers tense, curves under Sougo's chin and tips his head up and to the side. He doesn't ask for permission even if he should, briefly nosing against the younger man's cheek before he captures his lips for an all too hungry kiss.]

[The idea of having even an ounce of restraint is almost laughable given their current predicament, but Sougo certainly isn't laughing. Rather, his breath hitches audibly in his throat as Gaku's canines graze the thin skin of his neck, the sultry tone of the words that follow eliciting a wave of shudders down his spine.]

Anything.

[Right now, he really does feel like he'd give anything - let Gaku do anything and everything he pleases - just to keep them close another second longer. Sougo's voice is uncharacteristically breathy as he speaks, cheeks flushed deeply as Gaku's perfect fingers tilt his chin up just so... but he doesn't have time to truly think through how bad of an idea this is before he's already curling his fingers more tautly into silver hair, lips covered all too swiftly by the warmth of Gaku's own.

He's leaning into this of his own will, needy and eager to please, and it's damn well more fulfilling than any of his dreamlike fantasies.]
