For @konpeito_aji

[catarmy]

[The day that they've bothered to actually finish the dessert has arrived. Raine uses their senses to avoid crowds that they don't want to go near while they seek out Nobunaga, their offering carefully hidden by layers of chilled cloths.

[It isn't easy to make desserts with such a limited ingredient stock. At least, regarding this kind.

[Their sense of smell eventually points him out to them - or at least his general location.]

No~bu~na~ga~~?

[konpeito_aji]

I like sweet. [And a giant beam. It's picture perfect, a work of art, and he has to internally war between having a taste tester make sure he isn't poisoning himself, and his basic greedy desire not to share.]

[Eventually sense wins and he lets a taste tester check for poison first before savoring a bite with a sensuous moan.]

[He REALLY REALLY REALLY likes sweet, okay.]

[Point of which, he offers Raine a bite from the European-style spoon, not giving a fuck about the optics of such a gesture.]

[catarmy]

[They're not bothered either; their greedy self laps up the treat offered to them, quite happy to be fed by hand without having to make the effort to feed themself. And if Nobunaga wants to share, by god they'll accept the gesture.

[And they'll file that moan away for sleepless nights when their libido gets ahead of sense.

[In any case, they make a point to softly suck the spoon in a decidedly lewd way, showing off a flicker of their tongue in the process, and offer a much softer moan in return. Pudding-like desserts of any kind are the best, okay? It's just science.]

Careful giving me that. I might get greedy and devour too much of it.

[konpeito_aji]

Oh? [Thinks this over momentarily.] Well, it was yours you're sharing with me, isn't it? [Besides, he is REALLY intrigued by that moan, and doesn't care to pretend otherwise.] Are you greedy with everything or only sweets?

[catarmy]

It would be rude of me to completely devour the gift I have given you. That's all.

[That question, however-- they give themself a moment to mull over exactly how to phrase themself.]

The answer to that question is much more.. subjective. Perhaps it's greed to hoard blankets, pillows, and books. Perhaps it's greed to see who will feed me for free.

[They tilt their head and raise an eyebrow.]

But between the sheets... I'm only as greedy as you want me to be.

[konpeito_aji]

It would, yes. [Nods and goes back to savoring the dessert with pure bliss.]

[And a small smirk at the hoarding, and feeding for free etc.]

[Only to choke and go red-eared and almost flustered at the last line. You'd THINK he would be totally used to this, and given his brazen everything, utterly unfazed, but nope!]

[Still, as he regains his composure, the smirk is back, ear to ear.] It's only right for people to be as greedy as possible there, isn't it? Otherwise everyone would be too timid to even reproduce, much less enjoy themselves.

[catarmy]

[Nobunaga's choking is amusing, but only in so far as he's not in dire straits. When it shows that he's fine, they relax into an almost lecherous grin. They pointedly look him over.]

Goodness. I even phrased myself incredibly timidly there. Are you alright?

[konpeito_aji]

Yes, of course. [He's SO FINE! Don't you dare worry about him, that would be MORE embarrassing!] Active imagination. [Taps a finger to his temple.]

[catarmy]

Hehe. That's fine.

[They'll worry if they feel like it!! But since their companion is well, there's no cause to worry further.]

I wonder how much your active imagination's accurate in comparison to the real thing.

Ah, as much as it would be fun to see how you perform, I won't push it.

[They decide not to neglect the tea, pouring themself a cup and sipping slowly.]

[konpeito_aji]

[He just watches for a moment, not saying anything. See, it's that imagination thing. Also he wants to let his feisty companion imagine what he might be imagining. Dun dun dun.]

Be more greedy.

In my presence, and as my dream comes to fruition, I want to make a land where people can pursue their passions to their fullest.

[catarmy]

Hmm.

[Their gaze glints. They're usually pretty good at keeping control of themself, because if they didn't, regarding their libido, well. They won't be able to leave the room without appearing indecent.]

Finish eating, and maybe you'll find out as far as my greed can go.

Unfortunately, it's a kind of sweet that can spoil if left out. Otherwise I would debate acting right now. And I'm not one to want to let good food waste.

We would be busy for quite awhile if I had my way, even with my awful stamina.

[They touch a fingertip to their cup, idly stroking along the rim, and then the side.]

In any case, maybe I'll find something to be passionate about when your dream's dawn arises.

[konpeito_aji]

[SMIRK SMIRK SMIRK.]

[Okay, you dare challenge him?]

[THEN HE IS CHALLENGED!]

[And finishes the dessert calmly enough, not moving his eyes from Raine's even for a second.]

If it takes that long, then I must make sure to occupy your thoughts in order to reach that dawn.

[catarmy]

[In turn, they watch him, draining their teacup as they stay relaxed. It's hard to say where one idea ends and the other begins regarding that statement, not that Raine really minds.

[They yawn, purely because sitting still reminds their body that they might be about to nap, and they lean forward a little.]

It takes skill to occupy my mind that long.

[Just going to keep challenging him to see who snaps first. That seems like fun.]

[konpeito_aji]

[His eyes are cold, but they dance with amusement all the same.]

I consider myself extremely skilled in keeping everyone around me on their toes.

[You know, usually because they have to survive the insanity that follows him and his dream. Assassination attempts every other week are kind of lively, in a fucked up way.]

[catarmy]

Hmm. Your conversations with me are enjoyable, but they don't count as keeping me on my toes. I think my natural anatomy does that more often, seeing as I still spend much of my time as something so much smaller.

[Stretching a little, they regard Nobunaga thoughtfully.]

I require more than excitement, however. It doesn't linger long for me, unless it's the right mixture of... hmm. Versatility and flexibility are important.

[Raine leans forward; their kimono shifts subtly, revealing a sliver more of skin than was visible before.]

And open-mindedness is necessary.

[Their fingers dip between some of the folds of their kimono.]

Shall I give you a demonstration of my greed?

[konpeito_aji]

[He laughs at the first part and instantly moves forward to suck on Raine's pointy right ear.]

By all means. [A hand gesture to say "Do as you please," because he was raised by a general and that is a habit that is never going away. Besides, for all of Oda's words, Raine's made it abundantly clear they don't want to go too far with the warlord, which is just as well given Oda's more murderous tendencies.]

See that you do not disappoint.

[catarmy]

[The gesture takes them off guard, a startled, feline hiss slipping out, viperous fangs immediately unsheathing themselves from their otherwise normal-looking canine teeth as their cheeks burn red.

[It takes them a second to process the words, and another second to breathe and laugh. They swat at his shoulder twice.]

Don't startle me like that again! Work up to it, don't just slobber there!

[Aside from their flustered state, they're not actually turned away.]

I bite as a reflex sometimes. I don't think you want to be carelessly bitten with these.

[They tap one of their fangs, since they protrude past their lips; thankfully they don't actually have venom sacs.]

[konpeito_aji]

[Sorry, but Oda just laughs and laughs!!! Loudly at that. Baka-dono...] If I minded such a thing, I wouldn't have taken the risk! [But he hasn't re-engaged yet!]

[Just watching the fangs with extreme amusement!]

[But seriously, how fragile do you think he is?]

[The idea that they could be venomous literally hasn't occurred to him, so he doesn't have the good sense to be relieved that they aren't.]

[catarmy]

Ugh. These are as sharp as a blade, you know. And technically, they are a weapon. You wouldn't joke at a sword for its sharpness, would you?

[Sighing, they shoot him a faintly grumpy expression, and then lean in closer.

[Might as well try to shut him up with a kiss, fangs in the way and all, until their body starts to realize that they aren't under attack anymore, and the teeth begin to retract. Their hand finds his eventually, delicate fingers loosely holding his wrist.]

[konpeito_aji]

Wouldn't I? [UM YEAH HE WOULD, DOES, HAS, and will continue to joke about guns and swords to his death. It'll likely BE his death too. He's okay with that. His father-figure retainer literally committed seppuku they were so discouraged by Oda's playing with guns and general baka-dono demeanor. While that did shock SOME sense into the teenage Oda... some things never change.]

[Yay kisses!!!]

[He returns them tenfold, and pulls Raine closer, likewise gliding his fingers down to the belt line and stroking delicately between legs.]

[..... He... he doesn't know how to not go too fast.]

[catarmy]

[Sometimes they genuinely wonder if they're morosexual. This is just absurd in how endearing it is but shouldn't be.]

You're really an idiot.

[Fortunately, Raine isn't a stranger to fast. If Nobunaga wants fast, then he'll get it. And if he thinks Raine isn't the type to do so, he's in for a rude awakening.

[They tug their obi off and nudge the garments open in order to have greater freedom of movement. Turns out they're going commando under all of those layers. Their waist definitely is rather trim, with wide thighs and hips.

[And a definitely wide and lengthy cock, even soft as it is.]

Hope you have oil somewhere. Might need it so neither of us gets hurt.

[konpeito_aji]

[That gets more of a surprised laugh. He IS, a bit. But it's been decades since anyone had the balls to call him such to his face.]

[There's another appreciative smirk, taking in the physique, and he nods.] Yeah... somewhere.

[Look, it's... been awhile since he bothered with such a thing, and he totally forgot about it. What kinds does he keep in his tower top suite? Well, gun cleaning, obviously, but no, we're not using that. Jokes about long rods and shooting white powder aside (heheh). Oh! Candy! He has some candy oil somewhere around here for... Something about spring... Or was it New year's? He forgets exactly. But it's around! He doesn't bother taking the robe off or doing it back up, he just has it hanging loosely as he scrounges his drawers and tsks momentarily over his candy stashes (wow he has stashed away a lot of konpeito... Was it all just in a fit of paranoia that one day he might get stuck up in here? That doesn't seem like him. Or maybe it was for "a rainy day" as it were.)]

[Eventually he comes back, proudly holding up the sweet oil flask!]

[TADA!]

[So proud!]

[catarmy]

[That's definitely a lot of konpeito. Huh. Raine makes a mental note to get him more konpeito in the future. But even Raine knows better than to try to steal someone's sweets stash.

[But then Nobunaga comes back with the sweet oil and they just... stare. The hell kind of thing is that.]

...Let me see that.

[Hopefully it's only.. naturally sweet and not syrup disguised as innocent oil. Ah, but syrup would spoil over time....]

I'd rather know it's something that can even be used at all without causing bodily irritation.

[konpeito_aji]

[Nod nod!]

[He barely remembers how old it is, so you know. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. It is under five years old, he's sure of that! But everything else about it is a blur. It might even be some sort of religious thing, in which case it's a good thing(?) he doesn't believe in hell, or he'd be destined for there for sure.]

[Also while he's all for letting Raine inspecting it, he doesn't make it easy on them, and just gently covers Raine's neck in kisses. Because he can, unless he's pushed away, really.]

O O P S

[catarmy]

[Good thing Raine doesn't really believe in it, either. They open up the vial to take a sniff of it, pretending to ignore Nobunaga's attentions while they make damn sure that this oil is 1) not going to cause some freakish illness if applied to more sensitive places and 2) not going to just straight up cause something bad to happen.

[So clearly, clearly!

[The bright idea is to pour a drop onto their finger, and lick it and see how it tastes.

[...Candy oil? It's vanilla...

[Their eyes bug out.

[Vanilla oil for candy flavoring...!!!!

[The words tumble out of them in an excited rush.]

...You could make so much good sweets with this...!! Are you nuts to-- come on, come on, don't you have any massage oils or something instead?? Putting this to a sexual use-- I'd be too distracted and want to just lick it off all the time, oh my gosh.....

...Oh my gosh you gotta taste it, it's that good.

[konpeito_aji]

I mean... I thought it wa--

[Sticks a finger in, and sucks on it with a grunt and nod.] Well, put however much of it you want on yourself, and I'll lick it all off. [Smirk?]

[HE IS A SIMPLE IDIOT.]

[He LITERALLY hasn't even thought to how he just basically offered to do sexual favors instead of the vice versa. THIS GUY...]

[catarmy]

Oho?

[They flash a cheeky grin, and promptly drip some of the contents right on their chest, followed by a thin trail down their stomach, right to their dick.]

How about now?

[Honestly, they're not going to complain about a little oral attention before properly attending him. Shit-- the very idea has them getting a bit more excited....]

[konpeito_aji]

[Nobunaga wastes no time, licking straight down the trail and lingering with an evil smirk as he reaches the bottom, putting in extra time to savor the kill!]

[catarmy]

[Ah. They would have liked a little more teasing, but. Shit. The end of the trail coats the entirety of their dick, and for a moment, Raine regrets their impulsiveness. It draws too much attention to the size they have, which is, honestly, decidedly not cute compared to the rest of their body.

[But they can't look away, either, from the lewd sight in front of them. Part of them wants to apologize for how big they are. Even soft, their own hand can't encircle it even at a more narrow point.]

I-I was-- just teasing... Mmmh...

[konpeito_aji]

It's too late to take it back now.

[Smirks and gently nips the inside of their thighs, licking more, and grabs Raine's ass to pull them forward and completely within Nobunaga's domain.]

[catarmy]

I-I didn't say I was!

[Flustered, with goosebumps from the tugging on their ass, there's a brief ripple of their skin, the starting of pepper-dotted white fur at their belly and up towards their chest, before they force the transformation back, down to the last strand of fur.

[They squirm a little with a huff, watching him keenly, one hand resting their their mouth as if they might bite it to stifle their voice.

[They wonder, idly, if Oda can tell by touch that they used to be more muscular once upon a time, before a long slumber robbed them of their full strength from disuse.]

...It.. really doesn't bother you? The size of-- my dick, I mean...

I wouldn't blame you if you find it unsightly without the oil on it....

[Uncertain and unsettled, in spite of having a tongue right on it a moment before, Raine watches the warlord with the expression of someone bracing to have their heart broken.]

[konpeito_aji]

[He just laughs and laughs.] You're beautiful.

[LICK LICK!]

As beautiful as the dessert you brought me. Almost as delicious. [He hopes that last part wasn't too much, but he means it.]

[catarmy]

[Oops, they look like they might cry for a minute there, but then they let out a soft laugh.]

Well yeah, as tasty as it may be, you can't bite down too hard.

[But he can bite. If he wants. No pressure.]

What are you going do with it, I wonder?

[They grasp it by the base to give it a short stroke, feeling almost tickled by Oda's licking.]

[konpeito_aji]

[Bounces eyebrows, and more licks.] I'd assume no biting. [ARCHES EYEBROW suggestively, and gives a full throated suck just to prove he can, okay okay.]
