[kaeya heads down, dressed in just a simple navy blazer and his usual attire of an open blouse and high waisted trousers. it may be winter but he still gotta dress like he's going out clubbing at a gay bar at All Times.]

All the time in the world for you, Roman. I have a few interesting ideas of my own, so it should most certainly be fun. Now, shall we?

[ wow look at these handsome bastards. but also roman can't help but enjoy the fact that kaeya's outfit is both simple and effective. even roman can't help but find his eyes drawn down just a hair impolitely, but.

well.

he winds his arms around one of
kaeya's proceeding to walk him there, the start of a pleasant stroll with the nip of the cold air biting at their cheeks. roman tilts his head curiously. ]

What sort of ideas?

And spoil the surprise? You'll just have to wait and see.

[kaeya places a random affectionate kiss on roman's head. he's got tall privileges! the leftover snow from the blizzard crunches beneath their feet, a somewhat romantic sound for kaeya, silly as it is. he just likes walks, okay. and maybe he especially likes walks with someone he likes.]

You're really going to keep me in suspense, I love it...

[ the tall privileges are being abused! no jk, roman just leans into it contentedly, closing his eyes briefly before winding their fingers together after they set off. truth is, roman enjoys his walkabouts with kaeya, and even though this one is for very salacious reasons, it feels about as innocent at the start as a simple stroll now that the weather has calmed. ]

If there are things you want to try... I would be up for it. I'll say that point blank, Kae. [ he winks. because he can. ] You just have to ask.

Oho? Now that's quite the bold statement. Are you sure you want to leave that door open?

[he grins! and happily squeezes roman's hand as he allows roman to lead them to whatever sex store he has in mind. honestly, though, kaeya probably isn't any more kinky than roman is. he clearly has a lot to learn from roman, and he is very eager to do so. he just needs a solid selection of sex toys to play with!

like, honestly, his sex back in mondstadt was pretty bland all things considered.]

Yeah, that door's staying open. I'm an adventurous guy... I'll try almost anything once.

[ roman will happily tug kaeya along, maybe a scenic route to justify lingering hand in hand before they make their way to the diamond district, a shopping hub and bustling area. it's busy, the lights and sounds and people hustling to and fro, but roman seems to know precisely where he's going, pausing one moment at an intersection before "aha!"ing and excitedly tugging kaeya around a corner and down a set of steps to a rather luxurious-looking sex shop he found not long ago.

it's very much a leather and lace affair, a weird combination of extremely kinky when you step in and classily decked out at the same time. roman's fingertips tug at kaeya's as he looks over his shoulder, leading. ]

I'm curious to see what catches your eye.

Oho - you're taking me to the diamond district? I suppose we're not wanting for coin, but - you certainly know how to impress.

[kaeya steps in with roman, an appreciative eye roaming over everything from dildos to revealing clothing and lingerie to whips and restraints. and, of course, lube.

he steps toward the display of dildos first, curious to see what sort of modern inventions have done to them. in teyvat, they're able to have warming, chilling, and vibrating ones with a combination of the various elements. but it appears the modern ones come in all sorts of curious sizes and features. he picks up a g-spot dildo, inspecting it curiously.]

What's this for?

I would say we deserve it, wouldn't you? Call it a... fun upgrade.

[ roman's wandered off briefly to grab the star of the show, lubricant, just to get it out of the way. when he swans back he sees kaeya admiring a dildo and chuckles a little, stepping close and tapping one of the buttons on the tester so it hums to life, purring with a soft sound and the very tip rolling under the silky synthetic material. ]

It's for reaching that sweet spot, you know the one. [ he grins, propping his chin on kaeya's shoulder. ] Giving it a nice massage... feels really nice, actually, definitely something that could turn anyone into putty.

[ like a challenge. ]

Oho - is that so? Well clearly, we need this.

[he takes a basket from somewhere and grabs a non-tester to place it within, offering the basket to roman for him to set the lubricant within as well.

his eye catches something else - a double ended dildo. he picks it up. it looks quite fancy with its silicone covering and realistic textures, far more realistic and comfortable than anything teyvat could produce. he presses a button on the display piece, watching it expand and contract, the intention clear to kaeya.

he turns to roman with a smirk.]

Ever wanted to be bottoms at the same time?

[ roman gives it an easy toss, humming as he watching kaeya observe the latest object. he can't say the man doesn't have good taste, his stomach doing a brief flop as he watches the double-ended toy do it's thing. he grins. ]

With you? I'd be delighted. I think we should give it a try... see who taps out first. [ just the image alone makes his cheeks warm, that close, skin to skin and luxuriating in the back and forth of each of them being filled by their mutual squirming. sounds like a nice friday night that's only obtainable here. he leans upwards, pushes lips against the curve of his jaw, but instead of leaving it there, bites softly, a nip just below his ear. ]

Maybe we should get something fun for— [ and while he doesn't finish the sentence, he does indeed slide an indecent hand up the fabric of kaeya's shirt to pinch at one of his nipples with an air of mischievous sweetness. ] —these. We can't leave them out, right? Maybe some cute nipple clamps.

[he sets down the display, happily picks up a package containing the dildo. in goes the dildo into the basket! what a fun activity to do with...his not!boyfriend. is this what it feels like to pick out sex toys as a couple? only like, they're not together but like... he's as close to a significant other as kaeya is ever going to get.

he's quite excited to try these new purchases out with him, that kaeya knows for sure.

he gives a chuckle when roman pinches at a nipple, expression turning quite devious.]

Oho - then pick out a set that you like. Come, I see them over there.

[ roman takes his hand, knowing precisely where he's looking. "Over there" is a wall of body jewelry in general, piercings real and fake, rings, and more importantly, a few rows of nipple clamps in varied metals and gem-studded shapes.

roman does evaluate for a bit, lifting his thumb to his teeth and biting softly as he glances between the wall and a few particular ones.

it isn't until he "aha"s and plucks one off, holding it to kaeya's chest and the opening of his shirt, as if evaluating the way his skin and the color of the metal play off one another. it's a pretty silver set, sapphires dangling like little weights off of the clamps proper from where the pressure of the pinch can be adjusted. ]

I think these would be nice on you. What do you think?

[he lifts one of the dangling sapphires, a smirk so very prominent on his lips. roman already knows kaeya's preferred tastes in fashion, it seems! ostentatious, loud, and very blue. he lets it drop, pulls roman into a kiss.]

You certainly have a discerning eye, babe.

[he takes the clamps and sets them in his basket happily]

[ he's learning through osmosis and that's so powerful of them both. roman doesn't anticipate the kiss, melts into it in an instant, the brief blink of delight flashing through a heartbeat's-worth of synchrony. ]

I just know what I like... [ he presses forward playfully, hugging kaeya's chest to him and sinking against it. ] To be honest, I think you'd look good in damn near everything.

[oh, to have someone he can kiss whenever he wants... it's truly different from back in teyvat, where manna isn't even a thing and he keeps everyone at arm's length, with his only source of touch coming from little absent touches from friends or from his marks. but this - this is different. this prolonged sort of thing, something he can swim in.

he holds roman close, purrs at the warm, soft synchrony between them. okay, so he's a little starved for affection, what of it?]

Mm, keep complimenting me, maybe you'll get a nice thank you as a reward.

[ roman's hand manages to lift somewhere in the middle of it, holding kaeya's chin as he kisses him. even if he's shorter, it doesn't mean he doesn't have control—the two of them trade off in equal measure, and roman likes it, enjoys the soft sound that leave kaeya's lips when they part. ]

Then where do I pick up again? Perceptive of his surroundings, clever, game for pretty much anything I throw at him.

[ like it's a question daring itself to be answered. roman presses against him briefly, thigh nudging a moment against kaeya's for a flirtation of a grind as he takes his hand in his, lifts it to brush knuckles to his lips. ]

Mysterious when he wants to be... full of all sorts of surprises. Stamina in spades. [ behind a display is the only place roman will do this, unabashed even if there are cameras watching the store for delinquent thieves. he turns his hand over, kisses his palm. ] I wonder just how far we could go.

[kaeya gets led into another kiss and he is definitely not complaining - complains even less at the way roman presses into him, takes his hand and kisses his knuckles and palm. his gaze softens as he basks in their soft synchrony, an ever-present and pleasant buzz beneath his skin whenever they're together.]

Mm - if we go any further, I just might blush.

[his tone is a purr, as the hand caught on roman's hold moves to his cheek, bringing roman in closer so kaeya can smooch his cute little head.]

Such words of praise from such a handsome man - lucky me.

[ STOOOOOOOP any other person kissing the top of roman's head would no doubt earn a scowl, but somehow the desire to twist his face up petulantly never arrives, and instead he just leans into it happily. kaeya's hand against his cheek earns and full press as he lets himself be led into it. if he had a tail, it would be wagging. ]

But you're cute when you blush, you should do it more.

[ he slides their fingers together, bringing their hands down into a hold. ]

Is there anything else that you might want?

Perhaps if I had a reason to, I might do it more often. Like, say if a certain someone tried their very best to fluster me.

[he presses another kiss to roman's head because it's fun and it's within reach sorry short king. but he laughs, tugs roman toward another display. there's quite a lot in this store, some things he's familiar with and others not so familiar. and some things he's familiar with and just not very into, such as the immobilization equipment.

he stops at a wall with restraints, though. looks to roman.]

Ah- while I'd rather not be held down by these, is this something you're into?

I think I can more than manage that.

[ he purrs happily, even as he's kissed on the head, which shouldn't feel as nice as it does. he practically glows at that, following him through the aisles, curious about where kaeya is leading him. his eyes are trailing over a few of the interesting selections ranging from tools for sensory play to interesting masks. he doesn't notices the wall of restraints until they stop in full and he finally turns his attention to them.

oh.

glancing at kaeya a moment, he holds his eye briefly and then back at the wall, tilting his head. ]

I would let you tie me down.

[ the words slip out of his mouth and he pauses. phrasing. ~~it isn't a lie~~. ] I mean, I'm used to having to get out of restraints, so it doesn't bother me if you want to explore. [ he slides a hand up kaeya's arm and rests his chin on his shoulder, the motion almost comforting, selfish personally because he just craves being close to him, pressing so the warmth of their bodies co-mingle. ] Just depends if you want to tie knots or go the leather route. Or maybe you're a fuzzy handcuffs kind of guy? Tell me, Cap.

[kaeya's personally very... touched to hear that roman trusts him so much. to allow someone else to tie you up is a lot of power to give up, even if roman is likely able to undo any knot or cuffs kaeya puts on him. and while kaeya isn't likely to tie roman up in a way where roman is unable to escape, roman doesn't really know what kaeya would or would not do. kaeya could never, but is happy roman would.

he peruses the various restraints as his hand idly finds roman's waist.]

Mm, I've never tried using these things. So I suppose it's better to ask if you have a preference.

[he picks up a dark red padded pair of handcuffs, holding them up against roman and admiring the contrast of the dark color against roman's pale skin.]

I'd like something that wouldn't hurt you, ideally.

[ the sheer act of being held so carefully is baffling to roman, the way kaeya's hand always meanders down just right to hold his waist or even now as he seems to be mulling over color. to be tied up is just another rigor he's learned to twist out of—picking handcuffs, sliding a razor through leather or rope, dislocating his thumb when need be. he's not afraid of it, but there is an intimacy to it when it's not for work. isn't there. ]

I like it all, really. But that's not an answer, so let me think.

[ the bite of metal or rope or the smooth glide of leather. he doesn't have a preference, but when kaeya says that he gives pause, tilting his head as if considering the deep red cuffs as well. ]

These aren't bad at all. Padding is good... I like the color. These are optimal, really. You sure you haven't done this before? I think this pair is perfect.

[ a small tingle climbs down his upper arms at the thought. as if he needs a bit of encouragement, roman steps closer, presses a kiss slowly to the curve of kaeya's mouth and slides his arms thusly around him. his voice is soft, private, just right off the cusp of that kiss. ]

You won't hurt me.

[ he sounds so sure, (but maybe that's because he's had to assure himself of the same thing so many times before, it's like reassurance for himself.) ]

[kaeya doesn't even realize where his hands are, how affectionately he handles roman. you'd think a man who keeps others at a distance wouldn't know how to handle being so affectionate, so gentle - but perhaps the freedom to be in such a relationship now betrays his longing for it, betrays the gentleness and kindness he can convey.]

I may not hurt you - but you never know what materials will.

[he chases after those lips for another kiss, never satisfied with just one. that trust in roman's voice gives him peace, though, because he never would hurt roman on purpose, not without a super good reason anyway. as much as kaeya likes to play 'what if' scenarios in his head, deep down, kaeya cares quite a bit.]

Anyway, I have an eye for aesthetics. And this dark red looks very good on you. [a cheeky little grin that says he'd wink if it didn't just look like blinking for him.] If it works for you, it works for me. Let's see what all the hype is about, shall we?

[ ~~oh the irony in that statement tbh.~~

roman knows that grin, has known is for quite a while now, it's impossible not to recognize. he pulls away, but just for practicality's sake, taking the basket and offering it for kaeya's selection with a flourish. they're in public after all not that roman has qualms about that, (he's sure kaeya's adventurous enough) but he'd like to save some of it.

weirdly enough. ]

Yeah, I think this should keep us busy for quite a while.

[ basket in hand, and sweeping kaeya's arm confidently in his he will pay for their wares ♥ i hope the person @ the register calls them boyfriends. in fact this is our thread so yes, the person at the register calls them boyfriends on the way out. ]

[when the sales associate describes them as boyfriends, kaeya looks back at them and smiles, pressing a sweet kiss to roman's head yet again before walking out the store.]

Boyfriends, hm? I suppose there's some merit to allowing others to assume as such about our relationship.

[he adjusts roman's hold on his arm so he can slide his hand down to hold roman's, fingers linked. it's definitely not the first time they've held hands, but after the boyfriends comment, kaeya feels a little pang of something in his chest. affection, a longing for something like this to last, a longing for that title to be true.]

For instance, I get head-kissing privileges. [a cheeky grin.]
