[ and that, in turn, elicits a deep chuckle from kiryu, the faintest pink dusting his cheeks as nishiki recoils and shoves his hand against one side. he grabs nishiki's wrist, but not like he would in a fight; this one is loose, more fond and teasing than aiming to break a grip. ]
You haven't even fixed it today. You still have bedhead.
[ he snorts at that. Like he needs to be reminded! His hair's bad and his shirt's wrinkled to hell. But, he notes, unlike when he's had a girl over, it's not like he needs to worry about keeping up appearances in front of Kiryu. This guy's seen him covered in dirt, blood, and both. ]
Doesn't mean it needs your greasy paws all over it, bro.
[ it's hard to even keep wanting to push him away when he's flushing like that. It's sort of... cute. Is it weird to think Kiryu is cute? It's definitely weird, isn't it? He's pretty sure he's had this internal conversation before, but damn if he isn't having it again now. He ends up hesitating for a second or two, just looking at his face, before shaking it off and slipping his wrist out of Kiryu's grip. ]
[ the way nishiki's eyes linger on his face for those couple of seconds causes kiryu's blush to deepen. sure, it isn't the first time nishiki's looked at him like this... but how many of those times weren't just admiration or envy, but instead affection or longing?
... he really doesn't need a reminder of how long he's been blind to nishiki's feelings, so he pushes the consideration out of his mind, choosing to focus instead on the present. at nishiki's comment, though, his expression falls just a little—he probably isn't even consciously aware of it. ]
Ah... are you going home for a bit, then?
[ it literally does not occur to him that nishiki could use his shower... but in his defense, it's not like his bathroom has any of the products he knows are part of nishiki's routine. ]
you love it (and me)

You're right, though. I gotta take a shower.
