[ The hands that map out the tapestry of scarring along his back and sides -- not just the two most obvious and recent ones but what's already a lifetime of smaller, faint bullet nicks and faded gouge wounds from battles past all over him, some fresh if not egregious ones that are the result of being one who fights and tries to save beasts in the headlong manner he does near every day -- have Allen needing to break to catch his breath too. Trying to suck it in in soft, breathy sounds against his ear as Shouto nuzzles at and explores that spot behind his own that made something inside him melt a little, shivering a little in a way that would be hard to misinterpret as his smaller and slender body curves lightly and responds under every touch and he returns with an eager, welcoming kiss every time.
When he feels a wave of cold sweep through him in contrast to the increasing heat between them, he takes a moment to breathe then too. Kiss Shouto's cheek and just let them calm down a little, and realize in that hazy moment just how much his sensibilities have eroded. When he jolts and the heat coming off him spikes for a moment the instant he trips a finger across that tightened bundle of nerves though--
Oh.
Allen blinks, and quickly wraps one arm around his middle to cradle him close. Staring at the back of his head in some awe as he feels Shouto try to cool himself down and hide his face against his neck. Oh...
His pulse picks up another notch and threatens a sheen of sweat.
He kisses his hair gently though, stroking a hand down his back soothingly even as his own mouth feels a little dry. Maybe the heat is getting to him too. ]
Good... different? [ He sounds hopeful but a little unsure, his left hand still trapped between them against his chest. Stilled, but... delicately rubbing against the hardened flesh more slowly this time. Experimental. ]
