[ the glares being cast his way by ryker (and to a lesser extent but still present, bren) are fully being felt but yuri feels like he's doing a pretty decent job of pretending his heart isn't fluttering in his chest. neon and jasper, at least, just look amused at him, so he's assured in the thought that he's only going to get one frustrated talking to and not four.

the second they step off the stage at the end of the show and all microphones are off, ry's dragged yuri aside to give him the stern talking to he was anticipating. he's trying to take the moment serious, he really is, but the moment he mentions that it happened because finn kissed him he can hear jasper and neon snorting and trying not to laugh and then his own lips twitch because it is kind of funny but he's still thinking about it and ry just sighs dramatically and-- oh well now he's gone off to find finn, bren in tow.

yuri whips out his phone and starts texting as quickly as his fingers will let him. ]


idk where you are but ry's on the hunt

( finn doesn't get the message right away. as soon as the concert's over and the guys have taken their final bows, he and the others begin loading up the stuff once more. amps in place, instruments carefully placed in their cases.

ryker and bren find him outside the crew bus and he looks appropriately sheepish for the light scolding. bren even waggles his finger for emphasis. we know you guys are seeing each other but!! no more surprise kisses right before the show! okay, okay, he gets it!

the pull the door closed on their gear and he eventually pulls his phone out, leaning against the door.
)

Oh... They got me
I'm still outside!

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-13 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yuri can only assume that the delayed response is because fin had gotten caught. he giggles a little bit as he gets the message, currently working with jasper and neon to smile and greet and sign autographs for fans. they reassure them that ry and bren will be by in a minute to take over and-- oh look, there they are.

yuri bows out before either of them can say anymore (he's done his rounds, thank you) and he immediately takes off to head outside and find finn.

he's almost breathless by the time he catches up to him and he comes to a halt just in front of him, eyes practically sparkling in the light of the streetlamp above them. ]


Hi. So. We've moved on to... kisses?
closeness: (11)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-13 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
( finn's finally pulled off the black sweatshirt, his pale floral tank rumpled now. it feels nice to cool down and he runs his hands through his hair to push it away from his eyes, messing it up in the process.

then, yuri emerges and finn perks up with a smile, waving him over to where they're safely hidden in the shadow of the bus. not that it would matter to the band if fans saw them, but finn's always feeling a little shy about these things.
)

I think so, ( he affirms, sounding almost confident this time. he even takes his eyes off his shoes to look at yuri directly as he says it. )

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-13 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... I'd tell you to warn a guy next time, but I'm sure you've gotten an earful of that already.

[ yuri's smiling, his face bright as he gazes at finn. he reaches out and takes a gentle hold of both of his hands before he steps in closer, holding them loosely in between them. ]

That was... oh my god Finn that was so romantic for a first kiss I can't believe it.

[ he laughs and lifts his shoulders as he ducks his head just a bit, tucking into himself as he giggles helplessly. yuri swings their hands back and forth as he looks back up. ]

Another one please?
closeness: (Default)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-13 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

( finn giggles with him and blushes hours after his show of bravado. he lets him take their hands and helps him swing them together. yuri's expression tells him everything finn needs to know, he doesn't even have to ask if the surpsise smooch was okay.

out here might be just as romantic, under cover of darkness, the chatter of fans seeming to be far away from them as the concert crowd disperses into the night. finn licks his lips nervously and nods, taking a tiny step forward, just enough so it doesn't seem like an awkward middle school kiss.

so, so gently, he presses their lips together, his mouth still closed but a little more lax than the first time.
)
strippedbare: (013)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-13 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ there's a small part of yuri that's cursing his own height right now, because man does he wish he could stand up on his tiptoes to give finn this kiss. but there's something nice about being able to just tip into him, to meet him halfway when he starts to lean forward.

being ready for it this time doesn't do anything to diminish the novelty of sharing a kiss with finn. he's happy with this light press of lips, as sweet and innocent as it is, and he smiles against finn's mouth.

when he pulls back there's a tiny little mischievous glint in his eyes and he giggles. ]


I'm gonna introduce you to my favorite chapsticks.
closeness: (4)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-13 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
( finn is tickled pink when the pull away from each other, though his hand does fly up to cover his mouth at the chapstick comment. )

Oh. ( with his voice muffled now. ) Is my mouth dry? Do you have any on you right now? ( now he's suddenly very self-conscious! it's not something he thinks about on a regular basis, save for the wintertime when everything is just ... dry.

behind his palm, he licks his lips nervously.
)

[ yuri laughs again and he bring his now free hand up in order to pry finn's away from his mouth. as soon as it's free he leans in and gives finn a swift peck, smiling as he bumps their noses together. ]

It's fine. We can worry about it later.

[ and then there's another quick kiss stolen, and another, and yuri has to force himself to lean back before he takes too many. ]

Sorry, sorry, I just-- this has made me so happy, I can't help it.

​(oh, more kisses. lots of kisses. the butterflies in his chest continue their relentless flapping. yuri's hands get encouraging squeezes with each little smooch.

okay, he can kind of see why ry got upset. these are very distracting.
​)

Don't be sorry! ​​( he lifts yuri's hands to cup his own cheeks. ​)

You should kiss me however you wanna.
strippedbare: (003)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-14 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

[ one of yuri's eyebrows lift and he slips a hand around finn's neck to lightly cup the back of it, his fingers twining up just a little bit into his hair. he tilts forward, close enough that their lips are very nearly brushing but not close enough to actually do anything about it.

he tips his head to the side, eyes maybe just a little crossed so that he can look into finn's properly. ]


You sure you can handle that?
closeness: (15)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-14 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
​(finn swallows. ​)

N-no. But I can try.

​( his face is warm, almost feverish when yuri's all pressed against him. not everyone gets a rockstar like this, and finn can't believe he's the guy in this position. he still has moments like this when they're walking hand in hand during their outings — dates, really. they don't really look like they are there together, but he suspects that will change with time.

he seems to really consider that promise before nodding lightly so as not to dislodge yuri's hands.
​)

[ yuri expels a sharp breath and closes his eyes for a moment, a smiling painting his lips. ]

You're so cute.

[ and then he's leaning in that last little gap to seal their lips together, head at a slight angle so that he can press in further. he parts his own lips to start to gently pry finn's open in turn, just enough so that he can nip at the bottom lip, before he swipes his tongue inside.

the rest of the world has faded as they stand here, shrouded in the shadow of the tour bus. all yuri knows is the sensation of his mouth on finn's and his hand in his hair. (he does bring one of finn's hands down to rest on his waist with his free one, and the warmth there spreads, too.) ]
closeness: (13)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-14 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
( with his hand underneath yuri's jacket, just below the hem of his top, finn almost wants to curl in on himself. it's a lot to take in all at once, the way he's being held and the way he's being kissed. despite his lack of experience, it's easy to learn with yuri, parting his lips and simply letting him in.

instinctively, his tongue hesitantly pushes against yuri's and - oh, he likes that too, the sensation lingering in his mouth as he breaks for air.
)

Oh, Yuri -

( he leans back against the bus, letting yuri crowd him in. the smile on his face is startled and breathless. )
strippedbare: (Default)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-14 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ yes. good, perfect, amazing, everything he's been hoping for and more.

yuri lets out a faint gasp as they part, his lips still slightly open and eyes closed. when he opens them they're as dazed as he feels before he finally pulls his lips into a smile. ]


Mm. Yep. Yep, I'm gonna get hooked on that really fast.

[ he lets out a soft laugh and tilts his head forward to press his forehead to finn's shoulder as he just... presses against him, partly to hold him, partly to hold himself up. ]

You make me weak in the best ways.
closeness: (13)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-14 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

( he wraps both arms around yuri to keep him close. it's no different than whenever they fall asleep together, which has been happening more and more often these days.

finn nuzzles his cheek against yuri's hair and sighs.
)

And now, I guess, we have another one of our Things, ( he still jokes, wrinkling his nose as he laughs to himself. look, they don't have to do it right before a show starts. but they can do it at other times! )
strippedbare: (004)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-14 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ yuri grins to himself, wrapped up in the comfort and safety of finn's arms. if you had told him at the start of this tour that this is where they'd be right now, he would have laughed and then got mad about you getting his hopes up.

he returns the nuzzle, though he's rubbing his cheek against finn's shoulder now that he's turned his head to tuck in against his neck, and he laughs. ]


We'll have to be sneaky. It'll be fun.
closeness: (14)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-14 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
D'you have anything else you have to do here or d'you wanna go somewhere else now?

( of course, finn is also happy to be standing here with their arms wrapped around each other. he's grown to be so very comfortable tangled up in yuri like this, finding that he always looks forward to the nights they do spend together. ( he still divides time between his room and yuri's; he's still going to be there for his best friend, okay. ) )

I don't wanna get into more trouble with Ry, ( finn chuckles, scrunching his face up cutely. )
strippedbare: (009)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-14 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmm... nope! I mean I guess I could go wash the makeup off but I don't feel like going back in the building.

[ yuri pulls back from where he's got himself practically woven around finn so he can lean up and press a little kiss to his very adorably scrunched-up nose.

he's so cute. he's so cute and he's dating yuri. what the fuck. ]


Have you had a chance to scope out anything fun nearby? Or maybe a nice spot to get a bite? The night's still young...ish.

[ translation: it's not midnight yet? ]
closeness: (Default)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-14 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

( this is where finn lights up again. )

Oh, Yuri, I found this really fun 50's-looking diner. We can share a milkshake and put coins in the jukebox and everything.

( and! they can kiss in the booth. which is one of the most important things they can do this evening. he's reluctantly pulling one arm away from yuri so he can dig into his back pocket for his phone. ) Should we tell the guys? Do you? I'm gonna text Jisoo.
strippedbare: (007)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-14 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh!

[ yuri lights up as well, because the thought of sharing a milkshake is probably the most instagrammable thing he's ever heard of in his life. and he's gotten... pretty good at taking pictures that maintain finn's anonymity, though the fans have been understandably very whiny about it.

not about him dating someone, but that they can't see him. sucks to be them.

(anyone paying half attention that's been to more than one show could probably figure it out.)

he claps happily and pulls back, freeing up enough room for finn to fish out his phone. ]


Go ahead and let Jisoo know, but we'll skip out on the others. Trust me, if Jasper and Neon don't have anything better to do, there's a fair to decent chance they'll come harass us.

( well, that's more than enough reason to ghost the band, finn thinks bemusedly as he types a message to his bestie. as much as he likes the way neon and jas fuss in their own overbearing way ( especially at bren's expense, who seems to both love and hate it ), he doesn't particularly need them trying to guide him through a date with yuri. finn is a slow typer, but he manages to get the message out eventually, only to get an instantaneous reply. )

She says not to keep me out too late.

( you have to imagine the finger waggle there too.

he picks up the sweater he had hanging over the bus mirror and fold it over his arm, holding his free hand out to yuri.
)
strippedbare: (005)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-14 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, mother.

[ yuri laughs and takes finn's hand in his, lacing their fingers together so they can head out of the parking lot and to the street proper. ]

A 50's style diner... makes me wish this coat was leather. But I'm imagining just the biggest, juiciest, least healthy bacon cheeseburger possible. And a cherry on top of the milkshake, of course.

[ he tilts his head to the side to rest it against finn's shoulder as they walk, sighing with all the drama he can muster. ]

I get so hungry after shows.
closeness: (13)

[personal profile] closeness 2023-09-14 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you work hard, Yuri! You're always playing the crowd too.

( finn grins. even before yuri had confessed, he had seen that much. too bad he hadn't seen the way yuri had been looking at him when he had been in the audience. at least he is aware ( mostly ) of the way yuri looks at him now, hand in hand in the street or when he's passing him something while he's on stage. )

Gotta make sure you sleep well since we have a long ride tomorrow.

( he's been dividing his time between buses too, and tomorrow is a band bus day, much to his delight.

he leads them in the direction of food without issue, having mapped out the walk ahead of time. his skin is still warm from all the heavy lifting but the breeze tells him he might want to put his sweater on later.
)
strippedbare: (011)

[personal profile] strippedbare 2023-09-14 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh, don't remind me.

[ he likes the bus, he does; it's fun, it really lets them experience the rockband lifestyle from days long past, and he's extra glad they got to skip out on the cramped, stinky van rides. maybe mostly because he doesn't know if he'd trust any one of them to actually drive and not get them hopelessly lost. but man, sometimes, he wishes they could just fly to their next stop. those bus beds were not made for people with... y'know.

legs. ]


I'm glad you'll be there for at least the first chunk of the ride. Jasper's been trying to convince Jisoo to let us stop at at least one tourist trap this time; we have the time for it, and he's already scouted a couple on the route. World's Largest Something-or-other kinds of places.

[ he laughs and looks up when they reach the spot and gasps as he peers in through the window. ]

Oh my god look at this place. Look they even have the black and white floor!
