Status: Complete!
Katou was feeling less nervous about meeting up with Jin than he had so far. For one, he was getting a little more comfortable with the other man's presence, and for another, meeting at Jin's place meant that they probably weren't going to be seen by anyone Katou knew. And given the shitty turn Katou's dreams started to be taking, he really was looking forward to an evening hanging out with the guy he kind of liked, making out, maybe some other stuff.
He had brought Shiranui for showing off reasons, and a case of beer, and rang Jin's suite.
Jin’s apartment wasn’t anything fancy - most of his furniture was from Goodwill - but it was clean and well kept. He opened the door in jeans and an undershirt, waving Katou in. “Hey. Dinner’s cooking, so you have good timing.” Nothing too fancy, just some chicken Parmesan that he’d learned how to make when he was a teenager on rare nights he’d had to cook for himself.
Katou walked in and gave a brief look-around as he slipped off his shoes at the door. It wasn’t as homey as Wendy’s place was, but Wendy was… well, Wendy, and it would probably be hard to find a place that was as quaint as her’s. It was, all in all, a fairly nice place. Simple, which Katou could appreciate.
“Oh good, I’m half-starved,” Katou said. It smelled pretty good, all in all. “I’m gonna put these bad boys in the fridge,” he said, holding up the case of beer. It wasn’t that he was asking for permission, though Jin was welcome to stop him if he liked warm beer or something terrible like that, but it was his first time in the guy’s house so he should probably at least give him a heads up before he did things like dig through his fridge.
“No worries.” Jin smiled and shut the door behind Katou. “Make yourself at home.” Jin went off to stir some sauce bubbling on the stove. He’d tied back his hair, as was his habit while he cooked, and grinned at Katou. “How do you even get beer, anyway?”
"Cool," Katou said, heading over to the fridge and only needing to do a little rearranging to put the beer in it, and he pulled out a couple of beers for the two of them. "I got me a real convincing fake," Katou said, walking over to stand near Jin as he finished cooking. He hopped up on some unused counter space and sat down, deciding to take Jin's ‘make yourself at home’ comment at face value. "Though I know all the local stores that give zero fucks, too.”
“Always a good plan. I was in seminary when I was underage to drink, and it helped a bit. Priests do enjoy their booze,” Jin chuckled. He moved to stand near Katou as he sat on the counter space, amused that the younger man was now taller. He was closer now, and couldn’t help smirking as he stole a light kiss.
Katou closed his eyes and returned the kiss with an “mm.” This really was kind of nice. It was definitely nice being able to just chill out like a normal human being and not worry about whatever the fuck was going on in his dreams lately. “Gotta say, I’m digging this whole staying in thing,” Katou said, which were words he hadn’t really expected to ever come out of his mouth. But staying in meant that Katou could kiss Jin whenever he wanted, and he went to steal one of his own.
“I thought it might be nice,” Jin chuckled. “That way we don’t have to worry.” It was easier to be with someone when you didn’t have to worry about other people around. He went to the fridge to get them each a beer, uncapping his with a ring he wore on his left hand. “Food’s gotta cook for another ten, want to watch TV or something?”
"That ring looks fucking handy," Katou remarked, and then scowled at himself. "Fucking shoot me," he muttered under his breath. Puns, unintentional or not, we're generally pretty terrible. "I could show you my sword if you want." Beat. "The literal one. From my Dreams."
Jin chuckled. “It is, but you can do it with any ring. My uncle taught me.” He leaned against the counter, waiting for Katou to bust out the sword. “So. Unsheath it.” He couldn't help but keep up the innuendo.
"Should teach me that sometime," Katou said. "I can use my lighter. And my teeth. Ain't never learned with a ring before." He wasn't sure why he'd really need that particular skill, since he never expected to be somewhere without a lighter or his teeth.
Katou gave Jin what he hoped was a seductive smile and drew the sword, still reveling in the shing of the sword being drawn.
“Don’t use your teeth, it’ll probably hurt you at some point.” Jin leaned back, cocking his head when the sword came out. “You’re right, it’s gorgeous.” He watched how happy Katou seemed just to have it, and it made Jin feel a little lighter himself. “Do you know how to use it?”
"Naw, there's a trick to it with the teeth. I got it down, so you don't gotta worry 'bout me hurting myself." He would have taken a swing or two with the sword if they had been outside or something, but he managed to refrain. "It can't be much different than my cross rod," Katou said. He tended to use that much like a sword, and he couldn't see the two being very different. Not that he had much training using the cross rod anyway. He got away with fighting like a street brawler with a sword because he was fast and he was strong, but if he ever faced off with someone with any skill he'd give them plenty of openings.
“There is?” Jin blinked. “It’s not just a force thing?” He shook his head. “Will wonders never cease.” Then he walked to his bedroom, emerging with a bow that had a knobby bit of bark at one end. “Here’s my bow. I use it as a staff, too.” It was a humble looking weapon, but when he pulled back the string, it glowed faintly.
Katou grinned at the sight of the bow glowing. Archery had never been something that held Katou’s interest very much, but, well, magical bows that doubled as staffs were pretty cool. “I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours,” he said, offering out the sword. He wasn’t especially keen on letting other people handle Shiranui, but he trusted Jin to not, say, break the thing, and he did kind of want to check out the bow.
Jin nodded, handing over the bow. The string stopped glowing when he stopped touching it, and besides, he didn’t have any arrows. It’d be really hard for Katou to hurt himself with essentially a large stick.
Holding the sword carefully, Jin examined it more closely. “This is beautiful,” he sighed.
“It is, isn’t it?” Katou said, half distracted as he went to pull the string back like he had seen people do in the movies. “It belonged to my best friend in the dreams. Chose him as it’s master or something and followed him from his previous reincarnation to this one. This thing is pretty fucking cool too though. I like the dragon head.”
“Thanks, I do too. That’s the part that I hit people with in the dreams.” Jin ran his thumb over the edge of the sword to test how sharp it was, smiling when it was obvious it could cut him easily. “I’m sorry about your friend, though. There has to be a better way to get a sword.”
“Oh man, I bet it’s a deadly fucking beating stick,” Katou laughed, though he sombered a little when Jin expressed his condolences. “Yeah. It was… I dunno. I’m still not really sure if he’s dead or not. He’s probably having a laugh at my expense or something.” He was supposed to be immortal after all, and there was still a part of Katou that was convinced when he made it back with the rest of the group that Kira’d be there so Katou could give him back his sword.
“It’s pretty obvious you were close,” Jin smiled. having friends was a good thing, and he hoped the dream wouldn’t keep Katou from having them while he was awake. “At least you’re keeping his sword safe for when you see him again.”
Katou grinned. "Not close enough that he told me he was the immortal reincarnation of a demon sword," which was probably for the best because if Kira had told him that when he was alive, he probably would have thought his friend was higher than Katou was, "But close enough. I told myself that I was gonna stop thinking about it though, so I probably shouldn't've brought him up. You ought to teach me how to do the whole arrow thing sometime though."
Jin blinked. “Wait, the sword isn’t the reincarnation of the demon sword? How’s that work?” Jin moved to plate them up some food, setting the sword down carefully. “And I can absolutely teach you some archery. I woke up one day, and just ... got it.”
"Nope! It just chose him as its master somehow. Maybe it's a sword thing. My best friend's the reincarnation of the seven-bladed demon sword that was wielded by the female fallen angel that my other male friend is the reincarnation of." He watched Jin's face with a smirk on his face, pretty eager to see exactly how he digested that random clusterfuck of reincarnation mumbo-jumbo.
He put down Jin's bow and grabbed his sword, resheathing it before he sat down.
“So the sword’s incapable of manifesting himself. Interesting.” The wheels in Jin’s head were obviously turning. “I wish there were books about your world, I’d have to research more. That’s honestly part of why I got recruited to Special Forces in my dreams. I researched Outworld extensively, and I could fight.” Also his cousin.
Katou laughed. "I think it might be the most confusing book written if it did exist," Katou said. "It's pretty fucked up. Though I kinda wish there were books too. Maybe you could explain it to me." He knew what he needed to get by, but Katou didn't pay much attention to anything that wasn't immediately important. "That's some pretty good reasons to he recruited to the Special Forces though. Strong, smart and sexy, eh?"
“Maybe there would have to be a series,” Jin chuckled. “If you don’t understand it fully, it must be confusing.” Katou was the one dreaming it, after all. Jin’s memories weren’t so much confusing as they were terribly bloody. “Sexy, hmm?” Jin looked over his shoulder at Katou. “If you say so.”
“I do say so,” Katou said, grinning. “That’s why I said so. Well, that and the alliteration.” It was still a little weird to be flirting with another guy, but it wasn’t so bad. Not when he was in someplace private at least.
“For the sake of grammar and wordplay, I’ll allow it.” Jin smiled and moved to hand Katou his plate. “I’m glad you’re not as self-conscious here. I don’t know, I’m still getting used to it myself. Being allowed to be myself is ... strange.”
Katou took the plate, and then shrugged. “I try not to let stuff like that get me down,” he said. “I mean, yeah, I guess I don’t want people to know or nothing. But when it’s just us, why the hell not cut loose, yeah?” He took a bite of his food. “This ain’t too bad.”
“Thank you,” Jin smiled. He knew that Katou had a gift for understatement, and that it really was a compliment. “And I don’t care if people know, but if you want to keep it a secret, I get it.” Coming out wasn’t a one and done thing, it was a process, and Jin understood that. He was willing to work with Katou on it. The guy was worth that.
Katou could feel one of his embarrassingly soft smiles creeping onto his face, so he quickly suppressed it by cramming more chicken into his mouth. "So." He said, and then swallowed the food. A in a fairly cocky, almost gruff tone of voice he asked, "What exactly is we keeping secret here? Though gotta say, glad you get it. It'd kinda be a bummer if you didn't." He liked hanging out with Jin, and he liked making out with him more. It'd suck if he had to call things off.
“I don’t know, what do you want to keep secret?” Jin had a cocky grin of his own, and he leaned forward as it played upon his mouth. It was a lopsided thing, but obviously pleased, because his eyes crinkled in amusement.
Katou bit back another 'what do you want to keep secret' because the whole going around in circles thing was annoying as shit. Instead, he looked up at a very interesting corner of Jin's ceiling and shrugged. "I dunno. I mean, I guess there ain't a lot right now other than the whole making out thing. I don't really do the whole dating thing without sleeping with someone first." He'd had a few girlfriends in his day, and he really wasn't totally opposed to dating on principle, even if none of his girlfriends had made it past a couple of weeks.
Jin winced, knowing there was no way to say what he was going to say in a subtle way. “Have you. Uh. You know, with guys.”
Katou coughed, and then decided to chug back the rest of his beer, and when he finished it off he looked at the bottle almost like it had betrayed him. "Not so much, no," he muttered. "But it's not like it'd be hard, yeah?" .
“Do you want to?” Jin waited until Katou had taken another sip of beer before asking. Few people knew just how playful Jin could be. Katou would experience it.
"Oh fuck yes," Katou said, grinning, though it faltered slightly as another thought struck him. "I uh... I ain't never done it sober before neither." Jin really was the first person Katou had even considered sleeping with since he had quit using. He hadn't mentioned that particular habit to Jin before though, and he wasn't really sure if he should.
“Well, there’s a first time for everything, right?” Jin smiled and leaned back, wondering about Katou’s past. Either way, it wouldn’t affect how Jin felt for him; they were in the present, and Katou was awesome. Maybe if Katou fell off of the wagon onto whatever he’d done, then Jin would reevaluate things, but for the time being, he didn’t care.
Katou laughed, somewhat relieved that that was Jin’s reaction. “Yeah. I ain’t so opposed to trying out new things. Could be fun,” that was said with a wink because if it wasn’t fun then they had bigger problems than Katou being sober.
“It’s supposed to be,” Jin deadpanned. “You must have lots of lousy sex.” Granted, if it was with women it probably was; it was hard to force arousal.
Katou tossed back his head and laughed. "It had its moments, but yeah. A lot of it was pretty lousy. You'll haveta show me how much fun it's supposedta be."
“Honestly, it’s a collaboration,” Jin retorted between bites. “Even if one person is awesome at it, if the other person’s awful, it’s going to be bad. It’s about making sure that both people have a good time.” Really, Katou wouldn’t be one of those people who didn’t communicate his needs. Jin would bet money that the guy would be hard to shut up, more than anything else.
Katou had always taken a ‘me first’ approach to sex, and was generally pretty good at getting what he wanted out of it, but then, he’d never actually slept with someone who he actually liked before. Thinking about it, he was actually almost as excited about making sure Jin was having a good time with it as he was about having a good time himself, and that was kind of a new way of thinking for him. “Well, hopefully I don’t blow at this whole boning dudes thing, eh?” Katou grinned, and he took another bite of supper. “It’s one of those things that just comes all natural, yeah?”
“Sex isn’t really that difficult, no.” Jin chuckled, adjusting his weight in the chair. For eating food on a casual second date, the conversation had gotten somewhat heavy, but Jin didn’t mind. “I’m sure you’ll be a quick study.”
Katou tended to think that talking about sex was about as heavy as talking about the weather. Of course, his old group of friends had been the type of guys who would nail a girl in the bathroom of a bar and then come out singing "I Just Had Sex" at the tops of their lungs. Really, Katou wasn’t that disappointed to be rid of them. “And I’m sure you’ll be a great teacher,” Katou said with a wink and a smirk, and then gave a playful bow in his seat, closed fist in his open hand as though he were a Chinese martial artist.
“I am not your sensei,” Jin laughed. “Honestly, if you don’t know how sex works, I’m going to have to rethink things.” He resumed eating before he collapsed into giggles.
Katou attempted to keep a straight face, and managed for all of about three five seconds after Jin started giggling before he too started to laugh. Truth be told, he was kind of fucking nervous about the whole having sex with another guy thing, and it was making him a little awkward, but at least Jin was laughing about the whole thing. He half wished he hadn’t brought it up in the first place, even if it was something he wanted. “Yeah, that probably points to bigger problems, eh? Guaranteed, it’ll be a good time. I’m really not that clueless.”
“If you put your dick in my ear, I’m going to hit you.” Jin couldn’t help the mental image popping into his head. “Everyone makes it seem like it’s a rubik’s cube or something. As long as everyone talks and makes sure that they’re both having fun, yay.” Jin shrugged. “I mean, I’m sure if you wanna have sex with an ear, someone’s into that?”
“I uh, can’t see ear-fucking being satisfying at all. Maybe if someone’s really tiny,” he said, holding up his pinky for comparison and giving a bit of a frown. “So unless something goes terribly, terribly wrong, I think your ears are safe.”
“Hey, I’ll be sensitive if you have a micropenis. Though, arguably, if you had to ear-fuck and you’re a top? There is no god.” Jin looked up, thinking about what he’d said. “Yeah, that’s ... messed up.” And this wasn’t conventional pillow talk, but Jin kind of liked it better.
“No God or the God from my dreams,” Katou snorted. He’d never met the God in his dreams, but it was pretty obvious that the guy had some fucked up ideas in his head. “But got it. No ear fucking, you prude,” Katou said, the last being in a teasing tone. He finished the last of his dinner, and washed it down with some beer.
“Look, better you know now then find out when you try to do ear foreplay later on,” Jin winked. Katou made him laugh, and soon enough Jin’s own food was done. He cleared their plates and grabbed them each another beer before returning to the table.
“Oh shucks, that’s my signature move too,” Katou sighed, taking the beer from Jin. “I’ll just have to figure out something else that we’ll both enjoy, huh?”
“I’m sure you’ll think of something.” Jin smiled broadly. As far as dates went, this was going really well.
It was definitely one of the better dates Katou had ever been on, and with all the joking around that the two of them were doing, he was feeling less nervous than he had been. “Well, what say you and I go see what I can think of, eh?” he asked, giving a bit of a head-nod toward where he assumed Jin’s room was.
“You know, while we’re avoiding the ears, can we avoid my nose, too?” Jin stood up and tugged off his shirt, tossing it at Katou before walking toward his bedroom.
Katou was distracted enough by a shirtless Jin that he didn’t catch the shirt until it already struck him in the chest. Librarians should not have been allowed to look so incredibly hot when shirtless. He swallowed some beer to get some moisture back in his mouth, and then set it down on the table.
"Oh my God, you're so damn picky," Katou scoffed, grinning widely despite the tone. he followed Jin, pulling his own shirt off to reveal the large scar he still sported from his first dream death. "Next you're gonna tell me armpits are off limits too and then I'll really be out of options."
“You can manage,” Jin smirked. He didn’t have any scars, mostly because in his dreams he was possessed with otherworldly healing and strength. Some of that had carried over - he certainly felt stronger - but Dream Jin and real Jin were both lanky and deceptively muscular.
Once they made it to Jin’s room, Katou pulled the other man into a kiss. “Guess I’ll have to,” he said.
