Yeah. Yeah, that'll work.

[ he's giggling again because of course they somehow have ice cream scoops on hand, why wouldn't they? and he had mostly been joking about the sandwich thing but honestly? it can just be their thing. he's very excited by the thought of them having a thing.

yuri leans to the side so he can dig his keycard back out of his pocket again and he hands it over with a smile. ]


Here, take it, this way you can let yourself back in when you get back.

[ yuri suspects he'll be done with his shower before finn's done having his bestie convo and going on a snack run, but he also suspects the last thing he's going to want to do is get up once he's made himself cozy in bed. there's a pair of cozy pink pajamas calling his name and he's ready to crawl inside of them. ]

Before you go, could you just... I mean, if you wanted to, just...

[ he puckers up his lips and taps his forehead hopefully. finn's already done it once tonight but he'll absolutely take another. ]

Yuri, ( finn laughs as he steps to the side of the bed to take his keycard. with a tiny smile, he leans in to kiss his forehead again, more intentional and a little softer.

with a blush on his cheeks as he pulls away, he gives a tiny wave before heading off for his next stop of the night. the conversation goes as well as he'd hoped, though not without another punch on the shoulder, a little harder than yuri's earlier. he deserved it, honestly, but he wishes that jisoo remembered that she used to play sports. there are more tears, though happy ones this time - she'd always hoped he'd meet his mom even if the chances were slim! they go on a food run together and it's jisoo who watches finn head down the hallway to yuri's room like a parent sending their child on a first date, arms folded and everything.

he lifts his hand to knock but remembers the card in his pocket, which he taps in with a singsong,
) Hullo...

[ yuri spends a decent amount of time in the shower, letting the heat of it ease the tension that had gathered in his shoulders. they're gonna try. him and finn, they're gonna... they're gonna. he's giddy as he cleans himself, thoroughly washing off the smell of the concert venue before stepping out to quickly blowdry his hair.

he's been laying in bed with his hello kitty pajamas and glasses on (farewell, contacts), watching something just the right amount of trashy to make him feel good about his own life, for about fifteen minutes when the door opens again. yuri immediately sits upright, making sure to look like finn's invited to join him in the bed if he wants to while also maintaining some space, and he grins. ]


Don't worry, I'm decent. Come on in.

Hi - oh.

( finn, now changed into sweatpants, peeks around the corner to beam at him. yuri looks so soft and cozy. he isn't sure he's seen him like this even on the most casual days with the band. finn looks a little flustered all over again, but he keeps going, perching himself on the edge of the bed next to yuri )

I brought all the goodies. ( he shakes the tote bag in his hand, the fabric a little damp from the pint of rocky road gathering condensation on the inside. he begins setting up on the side table, dutifully arranging the paper plates and the ice cream scoop and all the other foods he brought over. )
strippedbare: (010)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-08-27 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh?

[ yuri raises an eyebrow just a little bit at that particular reaction, glancing down at himself briefly before looking back up again. oh, he says. he supposes that finn's never actually seen him dressed down, not really, only running into each other before and after shows after all. he's just having a hard time gauging what kind of "oh" that wa--

oh he looks like he might be blushing. it's a good "oh". got it.

(yuri likes the sweatpants.)

he grabs one of his pillows and rolls around until he's laying on his stomach with the pillow tucked under him so he can stay propped slightly up and see. a grin spreads across yuri's face as he kicks his feet in the air behind him. ]


Y'know I was only mostly joking about the ice cream sandwiches but I'm never going to turn one down that you've made me, so maybe it's a good thing I said it after all.
closeness: (8)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-08-27 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I know, but I thought it was a way to do something nice for you!

( finn goes mostly quiet, making little happy noises as he puts together the now-snickerdoodle sandwich for yuri, just little "hmm-hmms" here and there. he makes sure he puts the right amount of ice cream on it, not wanting it to spill over onto yuri's hands. with the top cookie in place, he pulls a paper napkin out and folds it under the plate before neatly handing it over to him. )

For you.

( once yuri takes the plate, finn will get to making one for himself )
strippedbare: (006)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-08-27 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ yuri sits up as he's handed the plate and he positively beams at finn as he takes it. ]

Thank you.

[ and don't mind him as he... grabs his phone and makes sure to snap just a few pictures. because this is their first treat as a trying and he wants to commemorate it properly. he'll post the picture later.

when he finally takes a bite, though, he lets out a low groan and (dramatically) falls over onto the bed. ]


God, that really hits the spot. I can taste the care that went into it.
closeness: (5)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-08-27 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Because I do care, ( finn murmurs. it's not romantic, not yet, but he means it as a friend( plus ) whose heart aches whenever yuri cries. someone like that shouldn't be so down on himself. if cookie sandwiches help him in some small way, then finn has done his part.

he finishes up and hops up only to pop the ice cream into the mini fridge, managing to push it into the freezer area by squishing the carton a little. with a sheepish grin, he gets up and lightly sits back against the headboard of the hotel bed.

there.

with the plate in one hand, he holds it right under his chin so he can chomp.
)

I was thinking chocolate chip was gonna be a lot with Rocky Road, so I got snickerdoodles. The cinnamon really works, I think!

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-08-27 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ yuri has managed to contort himself into about five different positions just since finn got here, and now he's up against the headboard himself. he's far enough away from finn to let him know he's respecting boundaries but not so far that it feels like middle schoolers on their first date.

the cookie sandwich is really good, though; he wasn't lying about that. ]


Mm, and honestly, so does the butter taste.

[ he has his legs stretched out in front of him and his toes do a happy little wiggle every time he takes a bite. ]

I'm gonna have to hit the gym a bit more frequently if we're going to be spending more time together.

[ yuri says it as lightly as possible in an attempt to make sure finn knows he doesn't mind that in the slightest. ]
closeness: (3)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-08-27 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
( yuri is ... cute. how did he miss it before? maybe he was just so blinded by how pretty he is and all those displays of sexuality that he never stopped to notice the smaller, cuter moments.

finn watches him wiggle amusedly, his cheeks puffed up as he tries to get through an especially big bite. he's a fast eater, the sandwich already a mere square inch between his index finger and thumb.
)

I do like frozen yogurt too. We can do toppings sometime. Like granola and strawberries over froyo! That's ... healthy, right? ( as he downs his last bite of sandwich immediately. )
strippedbare: (004)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-08-27 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. We can lie to ourselves about that.

[ he laughs and continues munching on his own sandwich, internally cooing over how absolutely cute finn looks while he's eating. yuri even had a headstart and finn's still finishing before him, but that's fine. he's foreseeing a lot of "no, no, i'm full, help yourself" lunch and dinner dates.

very, very cute. he's ready for it.

he polishes off his sandwich well after finn's finished his and he flops back with a satisfied noise, eyes closing as he pats his stomach. ]


Mm, very good.

[ he turns his head to face finn and grins. ]

At some point we'll have to start using weird shit, you know. Like... stroopwaffles. Or a cinnamon raisin bagel!

Don't threaten me with a good time, ( finn giggles, taking the paper plates and folding them into the garbage. he settles back into bed, propped up against the pillows with a content smile on his face. ice cream in the hotel has become a great comfort to him.

he falls quiet for a moment, trying to parse through whatever mystery is being unraveled on the television. his lips half-form words as he mouths the titles flashing across the screen. when it cuts to a commercial break, he turns to yuri, actually rolling onto his side.
)

Are you feeling any better?
strippedbare: (010)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-08-27 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
I am. It was just... those were relief tears. Like when an adrenaline crash happens and your brain doesn't know how to process what's going on so you just cry about it. I just wanted to know that you were okay from your mouth, not secondhand.

[ yuri glances at the distance between them briefly, lips pressing together before he scoots just a little bit closer. when he's near enough he reaches out and lightly puts his hand into finn's. they've done this part before so it should be fine, right?

right??

cheeks red, he turns his gaze back up toward the tv where mayhem is currently burning a promposal into someone's yard. ]


Shower helped. So did the headache stuff. And the ice cream, of course.

[ if he pretends holding hands isn't a big deal then it won't be!!! ]
closeness: (12)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-08-27 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
( oh. yes. this is good. finn laces his fingers through yuri's and gives a little nod. yuri's hand is soft and so much smaller than his, and he idly wonders if he has some bass string calluses. )

Good.

( he briefly closes his eyes, wrinkling his nose as he smiles. a part of him wants to keep talking about it, apologizing for everything, but he stops himself. they've probably had enough of that for now. )

Did you have a good show today?
strippedbare: (002)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-08-27 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh there are definitely callouses. yuri does his best to take care of them (which is how his hands are so soft in general), but they're stubborn and still there. smoother than a lot of players, and he's certain there are some that would judge him for taking so much care of his hands (callouses help, really), but. well. he likes being soft, thank you. ]

Mm, we did. It was probably one of the biggest crowds that we've had in a while.

[ he won't mention the mess ups, the concerned gazes. they weren't many, but they were enough.

yuri scoots just a little closer, a little, and eventually, he just sort of... tips sideways so that his head can rest on finn's shoulder. he's stolen this spot before, in the back rooms of the venues when they're all laughing before the show, but it was just a spot of flirting then. it's different now. ]


Someone tried to give Bren her number. That was hilarious to watch.
closeness: (2)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-08-27 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
( oh, that's fine. more than fine. it's actually very good, the way yuri leans against him. it is different now that he's really welcomed yuri into his personal space instead of mutely letting the flirtations happen to him. )

Well, Bren is very handsome. He's like a very tall fairy, so I can see why. Ry probably wasn't happy! ( he still giggles at the image of ry coming to diffuse - or end - the situation. )

I know it hasn't been long, but I think it's sweet that they've been together since school and - and they're still together in the band and everything. ( he sighs, taking his gaze away from the television and letting it rest on yuri again. ) I know things are different on the road, that's all.
strippedbare: (008)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-08-31 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
It was great. She didn't see or hear him come up and suddenly he was there, wrapping an arm around Bren's waist and asking him a really nice question while giving her the deadliest side-eye I'd ever seen. She practically ran out of the venue.

[ he's giggling at the memory; the way bren's face was confused for a solid twenty seconds before he realized what happened; the way he scolded ry for scaring her; the way they disappeared for a good thirty minutes after that and came back looking ruffled.

they're cute.

yuri hums quietly and nods, tilting his body just a little in toward finn as he gets comfy. ]


Mm. The road... definitely changes people. Makes them do things they probably wouldn't if they were planted in one place. People like Bren and Ry... they're stronger than that, I think. Steadfast.
closeness: (5)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-01 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

( out of habit, he covers his mouth with his free hand and giggles, picturing this scenario in full color. finn tends to miss cues like this but bren and ryker are creature of habit in that respect. bren is probably the only other person he knows who can be oblivious. )

You said there was stuff happening with Neon and Jasper too? ( finn asks softly, curious about the other changes happening around them. it's a little scary, having the road dynamics change so quickly, but he reminds himself that... this is just human nature. people change. situations change. not everything is bad. )
strippedbare: (012)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-01 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ the giggling jostles yuri's head a little where it's purchased on finn's shoulder and he grins because it's cute and he can feel it and he's allowed to be here and they're gonna date and--

shh. shhhhhh.

yuri hums quietly at the question before snorting. ]


Jas keeps staring at Neon like he wants him in ways that are going to result in the rest of us losing sleep just from the sheer volume of it all. You know he hasn't brought back a single groupie after a show in like... three weeks? If he doesn't do something soon I think Ry's going to lock them in a green room until they resolve the tension.
closeness: (Default)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-02 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know if locking them anywhere would be a good idea, especially if you have somewhere you guys need to go...

( for once, he knows he's not wrong.

finn chuckles, finally quite comfortable in yuri's presence, actually enjoying they way he's cuddled into his shoulder. with a smile, he squeezes his hand, wanting to get more comfortable in bed.
)

I - if it's not weird, I brought my toothbrush in case I fell asleep. We - we could still cuddle like this. If you want.
strippedbare: (009)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-02 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yuri can't help but giggle at that and nod. ]

Fair. They'd be at it for way too long.

[ and then he pauses because what do you mean he brought his toothbrush with him. yuri's brain goes blissfully blank for a solid five seconds before he squeezes finn's hand back. he's relatively certain that his ears have turned an interesting shade of pink, and he wouldn't be surprised if it's traveled a little down his neck. ]

It's not weird. It's-- unexpected, maybe, but not weird. I would love to cuddle like this while sleeping.

[ his head lifts so that he can smile up at finn. ]

I should warn you, I'm a clinger. So apologies if you run hot.
closeness: (3)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-02 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Just trying to make up for - you know, last week, ( finn explains quietly. he is always intentional in everything he does, and he hopes that yuri doesn't take it as a pity offer. they are, after all, pre-dating.

he chuckles, wrinkling his nose.
) We can turn up the air conditioner if you're gonna cling a lot.

( it's not the biggest step for most people. but finn has caught onto yuri's blushing and has begun to mirror that same flush on his cheeks. )
strippedbare: (004)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-03 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, good call. It's nice to crank the AC and burrow under covers, anyway. I'll go do that if you wanna tuck your toothbrush in the bathroom.

[ he assumes it's hiding in one of the bags of goodies, and probably for the best that yuri didn't see it right away. then again, he might have just thought finn's extra hygienic and wanted to brush after ice cream.

yuri turns his head and bumps his forehead against finn's shoulder before he pulls away and extracts himself from the bed. his shirt lifts as he stretches his arms up over his head, grunting a little when his joints pop before he leans over the ac to start fussing with it.

and maybe he takes a little longer than necessary, pausing to stare out of the window into the city around them before he draws both layers of curtains closed. he wants to give finn time to maybe... gather himself, if he needs it.

yuri needs it.

he returns to the bed and burrows in, giddy with the anticipation of... cuddling. ]
closeness: (6)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-03 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'll - okay.

( finn rolls away until his feet touch the floor again and he shuffles to his bag to pull out his travel toothbrush. being a good kid and all, finn quickly skitters into the bathroom to give his teeth a little brush after the late night sugar intake.

plus, he doesn't want his morning breath to be so rotten if they're ... going to have this sleepover, as impromptu as it is.

he dabs at his face with one of the little hotel face towels and blinks at his reflection. his black hair sticks out every which way after rolling around on the pillow for a bit. his cheeks are a little ruddy since he's been spending all this one-on-one time with yuri. he looks ... the same, but there's a different air to himself now that he's back in his home world. he kind of likes it.

with a deep breath, he opens the door, smiling at yuri already under the covers. well! he he goes!
)
strippedbare: (Default)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-03 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ why is yuri more nervous for this than he was the night he lost his virginity? like why is this the thing that's making his heart race and his palms sweat? (hold on, let him just wipe those on the covers really quick.)

he looks up and away from the tv when finn comes back into the room and he returns the smile, gaze soft (and kind of sleepy, now that they're about to bunker down; the adrenaline of the last hour is really starting to crash). yuri pulls back the blankets on the other side of the bed and pats the empty space-- before lifting both of his arms and making grabbing motions with his hands. ]


C'mere.

[ bring unto him the snuggles!! ]
