[ She follows along his every movement; Juniper isn't content to be anywhere but so close to him at the moment, and even when he leans back enough that their kiss is accidentally broken, she is already leaning forward in kind and chasing his lips—
Only to find her herself momentarily captured by the sight of him, already a little disheveled and his skin flushed, his lips well-kissed... Oh. He's so pretty like this, she thinks, she can't take her eyes off of him.
He doesn't give her much more of a moment to dwell on it, though, as he pulls her in close once more. Juniper is all too happy to oblige, kiss him back just as hungrily, at least until she drags her mouth down to the line of his jaw, and then to the delicate slope of his neck, where she murmurs quietly against his skin: ]
[Like this, with Minato on his back, and Juniper on top of him (and hello, her thighs pressed on either side of him, and the view he gets from here, wow--), it's pretty safe to say that there is nowhere he would rather be right now than her.
Her lips trial along his neck, and Minato shivers beneath her, his hands sliding down her sides almost reverently as she explores his skin.]
Yes. You can--you can do anything you want, Juni.
[He smiles a little then, fingers dipping to slide just beneath the hem of her shirt.]
I trust you... okay?
[He knows that as they pursue this, and as they discover this together... Juniper will always keep his happiness in mind, so it's so easy to trust her. After all, even before they were like this--that's exactly what she always did.]
[ Truly, it fills her heart to be like this with him, to feel him writhe beneath the press of her body, and his fingers fluttering along her sides and over her skin and leaving warmth in their wake. She huffs out something like a sigh, given both in response to what he says and what he does, while she softly nuzzles at him. ]
It's the same for me...
[ She trusts him in the same way, and he can do anything he wants, too. With that, she plants a gentle kiss onto his neck, and then another, before the tip of her tongue presses against his skin to taste him there, too. ]
[It's the same for her, huh...? So they're on the same page with this. That feels... right, to Minato. They've been on the same page since the moment Juniper arrived here. From the moment of their kiss, to their cuddling on the bench, and now here, with Juniper pressed against him and her lips and tongue warm against his neck.
He breathes out a shaky breath in response, shivering beneath her, feeling the way that heat pools in his gut immediately.
He tries to think of something to say, but... the words slip from his grasp, distracted as he is instead by the press of Juniper's body--and so he stops bothering to try, instead taking her permission for what it is and slowly slides his fingers underneath her shirt properly, slowly but certainly trailing his fingers up her spine, basking in being able to enjoy that touch.]
[ They are on the same page about this, and Juniper can only hope that it feels as freeing for him as it does for her. After all of this time left wondering and hoping and longing from the very beginning of the show through its conclusion and all of the time that has passed since then... They are, at last, of the same feelings, of the same mind.
She has certainly been very talkative today already, but now is the time to fall back to instincts, she thinks. With a gentle graze of her teeth against the column of his neck she nips ever so slightly while his hands roam up her back, drawing skin between her teeth to suck and leave a mark on him. She punctuates it by nuzzling him there again, as if to soothe that little bit of pain with her sweetness, even while her thighs press up against his sides and she revels in the feeling of his touch on her bare skin. ]
[The way his breath hitches in response to the graze of her teeth against his skin is probably very satisfying, especially when it's followed by a noise that Minato's not sure he's ever made before. It's soft and low but undeniably pleased as she presses even closer.
Damn, Juniper's thighs pressed against him are really dangerous, and it makes him realize... he'd really like there to be much less clothing between them. It is not the first time he's had this thought, of course; he has eyes, and Juniper is gorgeous, all toned muscle and beautiful curves. But he has the thought a lot more urgently this time, and it's with that in mind that he tries to hitch her crop top up and over her head.
This is easier said than done when she is still lavishing affection against his neck, but he's Trying.]
[ She's trying to stay focused on leaving another mark on his neck, but oh, it's so difficult when, for one, he's wearing a turtleneck, but even more so when her sensitive ears pick up on that sweet little sound that he gives beneath her... Juniper can't help but offer one in turn, especially when she feels an insistent tug at her crop top. ]
Mi— Minato...
[ With another kiss pressed to his neck as a sort of parting gift, she pushes away to sit upright. Already she misses the warmth and feeling of their bodies flush against one another, but it's all so she can reach behind her to loosen the fastenings of her top. It fits her body quite snugly, after all, but as soon as that's done, he's able to pull it over her head with little issue to leave her in a sort of strapless bra situation beneath.
She is, in fact, all toned muscle and beautiful curves, and she allows them both just a brief moment to be arrested by... well, by all of this. With one article of clothing gone, there's little question as to what she wants to do next. ]
Heh. You're so bundled up... You must be overheating, hm?
[ He looks so cute all disheveled and thoroughly kissed in a turtleneck... But now it's her turn to tug on that sweater. Hopefully his head doesn't get stuck that collar... ]
[He is so very lucky that she gives him a moment to just enjoy the view the moment she takes that crop top off. There's something--so special, so intimate about Juniper like this, still straddling his waist and with her top half almost commpletely bared...
Minato's throat is suddenly dry, and he has to swallow tightly to find words to speak.
Especially when she follows up with those words, almost sultry. Minato's thoughts were half on how gorgeous Juniper is, all curves and very sexy muscle, and half on how much he'd like to remove her bra next--
So it takes him a moment to find his scattered thoughts enough to process her words.]
Ah...
[He sits up enough to help her tug that off (it's only fair, after all!), and while the turtleneck does get a little caught, it's probably not hard for Juniper to tug it off the rest of the way. It does rumple up his hair quite a bit, but soon enough he's shirtless as well. He's a lot more toned than his usually relatively loose clothing would suggest, torso dotted with faded scars--but he smiles up at her gently in response.
It's hard to feel self-conscious when Juniper is looking at him with such fondness and warmth in her gaze.]
... You're right. That's a lot better.
[And then he slides his fingers into her hair to urge her into another kiss, open-mouthed and warm and edging quite a bit closer to heated.]
[ The scant few seconds that Juniper is able to spend simply looking at Minato bared from the waist up beneath her feels like a moment that is both much too fleeting and that stretches into eternity, all at once. But no matter how long it actually is, her breath is stolen from her lungs from the way his hair is mussed, his warrior's form revealed to her. Juniper is not without scars, herself, and there are certainly more of them than there had been on her body during the show. She's had more than a few close calls in the Feywild...
But that's to be expected, from someone like her. Her presence on the battlefield is meant to draw danger towards her, she is meant to take on the heavy blows so that her friends don't have to. And she has never made a secret of that fact, proud as she is to be that sort of warrior. But Minato...
She thinks about all of her talks with Kotone, about what they and their teams do, and what's at stake... She'd known all along that Minato was a fighter, but to see him in this way captures her Dandelion Heart so thoroughly.
Juniper reaches, fingers longing to touch one of those faded scars, but soon he is pulling her into another kiss and she is only too happy to indulge them both. There is no question, after seeing such a sight, as to how deeply she wishes to kiss him in turn, and how much more heated it is, and decisively so. And to the point that she presses in to ease him flat onto his back once more, so that the weight of her body can settle fully onto his, and so that she can feel the sparks dancing across her bare skin where it touches his... ]
[He responds beautifully to her pushing and nudging, and soon enough he's on his back again. It's an incredible sensation, though part of his brain is still reserved for thinking about how much better it would be if she wasn't still wearing that bra...
But.
It's fine, those are thoughts for the future, and the very thought of that speeds his heart rate up even more. He's so lucky, isn't he? Lucky to be here right now, lucky to have her sweet lips pressed against his, lucky to be able to slide his fingers along her bare back until he can brush them against her bra.
She said he could do what he wanted... she said she wanted him to follow his heart and his feelings.
And so. Minato dives into another kiss, fierce and warm and wanting, and even as he does, he fumbles with the clasp on her bra. It only takes him a little but of fumbling, honestly, before he gets it undone, but--he doesn't want to separate from the kiss long enough to really pull that bra away (though considering it's strapless, it's probably only held together by their chests pressed together).]
[ Every press of skin to skin truly feels electrifying, urging Juniper to surrender more and more to the heat building between them, to the rapid beating of her heart— and so she kisses him fervently, almost desperately, like she wouldn't survive if her lips were not on his.
Reprieve comes when he at last unfastens her bra, causing the band to loosen around her chest. She pulls away just enough to let a breath escape from her mouth, gusting hot over his well-kissed lips, but it's a miracle that she has enough presence of mind to curve her back into an arc that allows them the opportunity to pull her bra fully off of her without breaking the kiss.
Really, it's just instinct at this point, and Juniper is more than happy to move a hand to fling the garment away entirely, so that they can at least feel their bare chests pressed together. ]
[Despite how much Minato's entire brain is short-circuiting right now, he still, vaguely and distantly, has a moment to be impressed as Juniper arches just right so that they can toss her bra off to the side. She's really impressive, isn't she? Whether it was instinct or knowledge, Minato is very impressed.
And then he's very distracted by the press of her breasts against his bare chest.
That drags a shaky breath out of him, and a quietly breathless, almost reverent:]
Juni...
[His hands slide up her bare back, reveling in the feeling of her soft skin beneath his hands, but if he's totally honest--]
[ They're thinking along the same lines, of course; the feeling of his touch wandering up her back feels so lovely that she can't help but wonder how his fingers would feel on her front side. A soft, little whine gets caught in her throat, too, after hearing him say her name like that... ]
Mm, of - of course you can, Mimi.
[ In fact, he can do more than see. Propping herself up on an elbow, Juniper draws away just enough that he's afforded the sight which he craves if he dips his gaze. But her other hand reaches back, alighting upon one of his before slowly, slowly dragging his hand over her side and, so long as he seems willing, guiding the tips of his fingers to brush just so slightly against the curve of her breast. ]
[For all of the ways Minato is very Minato about things, he is also very much a teenage boy in other ways. When Juniper props herself up, his gaze falls exactly where you'd expect it to, and a light flush colors his cheeks in response.
She's... stunning. Of course, Minato already knew this; Juniper had been drop dead gorgeous but the very first day of that TV show. But it's a thought that comes to his brain even so in just this moment, his breath hitching as it catches in his throat.
He's perfectly willing, and she'll find that his hand moves oh-so-obediently in hers. For a ridiculous moment, he almost wants to thank her--and then he realizes that that probably doesn't really go with the mood, and instead he should say some of the other words on his mind.]
You are so... so amazing...
[She brought his fingers to her breasts, and he wants to explore further now that she's told him he can; his fingers trail along her curves almost tentatively, and certainly lightly. But he gets bolder as he explores, cupping one of her breasts in one of his hands, thumb skimming over the skin until he find her nipple.]
Does this feel nice? [More than anything, after everything Juni has given him (after everything she's done for him), he wants to make her feel amazing. And she's already way ahead of him on doing that for him, so...!]
[ Juniper knows herself to be a great many things. She knows she is a strong and competent fighter. She may not be the most organized, methodical, or clever adventurer, but she knows that she is a capable one nonetheless. She knows that she is someone with a good heart who will always try to do right by others, because that's the way her many guardians have raised her to be. She knows that she can be charming and pretty. She is aware, on some level, that she is amazing - and yet it rarely feels so real and special as it does than in a moment like this, when Minato speaks it so.
She feels so, so very warm when she hears this, as his hand roams over her soft skin, and she's powerless to keep a soft little sigh from escaping between her lips - not that she would ever want to conceal it. She'd asked Minato to be expressive, so of course she will be just as expressive, and when his thumb brushes against her nipple, she offers another sweet, appreciative sound and nods her head. Her gaze fixes onto his face beneath long eyelashes and half-lidded eyes. ]
[Oh, now that is lovely. That soft little sigh, the way her lips part, her half-lidded eyes... everything about the picture she makes it gorgeous right now, gorgeous enough to take Minato's breath away.
He has it so bad right now, and he's so glad that Childe has learned how to share, because if he hadn't... Minato isn't so sure he'd be willing to give Juni back--
With that encouragement, Minato's a little bolder in exploring further, one hand sliding along her bare side while the other cups her breast, as gentle but firm as Minato tends to be, thumb still brushing along her nipple, familiarizing himself with the sensation.]
[ She's glad, too, especially if it means that Childe would get to experience this, too, if it means he would see Minato's confidence building and blossoming—
Because, goodness, what lovely sight it is, to see the look on his face as his eyes rake over her bare from the waist up. That awe and curiosity, and the adoration that lies beneath, the way he's been rendered speechless... He's so lovely and precious, and she wants nothing more than for him to feel emboldened and brave and relaxed while he explores her.
This time, she closes her eyes as he continues fondling her breast, lips remaining parted as she sighs again at the feeling, in such a way that he must feel her chest rise and fall with the breath she draws in deeply and then releases. Then she opens her eyes again, looking downwards at him so very fondly. ]
[Her confidence and kindness are truly stunning, he can't help but think. That sigh that she breathes out, that fond look on her face... Minato drinks it in with an expression that slowly shifts from awed into something just as fond and sweet.
After all, as stunning as she is... this moment is for both of them.]
You're so gorgeous. Just... absolutely amazing, you know?
But I guess... I shouldn't spend the whole time just admiring you, right? [Even though he absolutely could, so, so easily.]
This moment is... for both of us to enjoy ourselves, together. So... I want you to know you can do anything, too.
[ She hums, pleased at his response; it's nothing she didn't already know, but to hear it from Minato in his quiet, gentle voice is wonderful all the same, and not for the first time since her arrival to this world she hopes so, so desperately that her faulty memory will spare her— she wants to remember every single little thing about her time with Minato, and especially this.
But he's right. This moment is for the both of them, and it would only be fair for her to make sure he knows just how amazing she thinks he is, in turn. Unlike herself, Minato is can be so soft-spoken about himself... So she'll do her best to make him see how incredible he is. ]
Anything, hm...?
[ Gently, her fingers flutter along the constellation of marks she's left on his neck, then further down to the other marks across his skin, those left by injuries past. She is almost reverent in the way she traces each one before she shifts atop him, leaning back down and curving her back to kiss one scar, and then another, and then another. ]
[Minato is, as established, a perfectly healthy teenage boy. This means that Juniper breathing out that soft "anything" while straddling him in bed absolutely sends his mind straight into the gutter, his breath hitching in his throat as he shifts beneath her a little eagerly. Hello. Yes. Anything, thank you, Juni.
But what she actually does is... take it slow, slow and gentle and sweet, brushing her fingers along scars that are almost all from Shadow fighting. Burns long healed, claw marks that never completely faded, the odd faded patch where he was struck by ice so cold it immediately burned the skin in a different way--there is plenty for her to explore, and his eyes flutter a little bit as she does, especially as her lips trail along them.
Softly, low in the back of his throat, almost as if he doesn't even realize the words are escaping him:]
Juni-chan... [Ha... Her shifting atop his hips is also doing interesting things to him.] Juniper, you're so... [beautiful. doting. incredibly sexy, of course. But really, the word that comes to him in this moment is--] ...doting. [it's sweet.]
