[a band woven of memories. far from a romantic twine, there's truth in the description. as denji turns his hand, metal catches lantern light, turning silver momentarily into a ring of sun. this represents them. a combination of two people who had nothing alike at first save for being kidnapped together. a ring on his finger would have been strange alone, but with denji's resting beside it, the partner to his own, "strange" replaces with fitting, amazing, and comfortable. removed from its function, they represent their lives together. never ending, a continuous circle going on and on. like experiences summoned up in his mind. meals shared together over the table evolving from jumper-clad rations to nicely-dressed restaurants. bypassing the couch to make for his room eventually seeing him sitting on the couch beside his boyfriend in a double date as an action movie sparkled on tv. an empty bed in a sterile room leaving him clad in loneliness and worry became a full bed with warmth and a trusted partner in a room that's seen messes and cleanliness in rotation. denji's been with him through each of them, growing beside him as seedling feelings emerged small roots and strengthened over time until a tree bloomed above ground. no matter its flaws, scars, injuries, or struggles, it will not break, it will not move, it will not fall. it's a promise, as these bands signify together.
what marriage represents? ... he's too young and inexperienced to think he knows such things. he's seen three marriages in his life up close: his own parents, midoriya's parents, and todoroki's parents. each of them have some major fucking issues, from his mother's explosive temper and aggressive attitude (apple doesn't fall far, huh) to midoriya's father vanishing from his wife and son's lives for an overseas job, and the todoroki's... mess is an understatement. either way, katsuki can't say he would know what marriage would be between them. this is a promise, however, to one day find out if they're still here together when the time comes. in the time being, "they" are together in the way that suits them the best. partners, lovers, friends, a couple. denji is more than able to view this promise in the way he wants, romantic sap and all. the feelings are what matter most to katsuki. the commitment between them, promise of love, support, protection, and more.
right... a snap back to reality means he'll have to figure out how to deal with the ring in real life. it's not like he's worn rings before. mostly because he's never been one for jewelry of any kind (a bother) and because his quirk deals with explosions in his fucking hands! how's a piece of metal going to stand up to repeated blasts of scorching temperatures and massive shock waves? obviously it's not going to be on his finger during missions (despite that likely being one of THE MOST IMPORTANT times to wear it, considering the last few missions and his preference to keep tabs on denji during battles). but he also isn't shy about setting his explosions off at any damn time. tch... is he limited to one hand now? he'll have to think about this. they can talk it over later, see what their thoughts are. maybe ask other outsiders who have them.
denji, why the hell is 'hot makeouts while the fireflies watch' even on your list?! where did that come from?! does he have to worry about the pocky challenge kiss but it's a corndog instead? ... let it be known no one in this fucking place has as unique a boyfriend as katsuki does. he's never going to have a boring life while this guy's around. says the teenager who ended up trading rings naked in a lake by lamplight and is now making out with said boyfriend in the same location. head tilting, eyes closed, mouth opened in alternating rhythm as he moves with each kiss. the soft lick of water around their legs mingles with kissing bordering between chaste and full on intimacy. a kiss too forceful pushes his head back into the hand cupping his neck, a return kiss presses denji's head upward as katsuki cards his fingers through water-damp tussles. combing his bangs back from his forehead for a moment before raking them down over his brow and eyes once more. free hand finding its way to denji's jaw and splaying over the fair game of his ear, cheek, and upper neck. feeling the way his jaw moves with his kiss, cheek shifts a flex of tongue and a tiny tremor of a moan. their lips part enough for slick muscle to be visible between their mouths, sliding together and trading saliva with no hesitation or shame of what's going on between them. before vanishing again with another kiss. hot and more hot and more until cooling passions slowly ease the make out into something closer to nuzzles, heated words ghosting across his mouth as denji talks to him. he'd be concerned if the half-devil's face wasn't a mess right now.]
Don't fucking threaten me. [sweet and threatening, that's what it is, and katsuki knows it. what is meant by "spoil" could be anything, and exploring that right now would snap whatever gossamer thread of restraint lingers between them. fuck it, probably snapped already a while ago. he doesn't care. if denji's plotting to try and regain his title as romantic sap king between the two of them, he won't find katsuki attempting to dethrone him. this might have been the entire summation of any and all romantic "bones" in the blonde's body for the whole damn year. doesn't mean he won't be a flush-faced howler monkey when denji starts plying his sappy plots at him in the future.
yeah yeah. he's aware there's a very interested party down below and he isn't any less struggling with the idea. no one's around, they're far away, and if there's any concern about someone coming to the sound of yelling in the woods, how the hell does denji think people will respond to yelling in some damn medieval era inn without concrete walls? arguably it's safer to do it here since people would have to reach them first. if they even heard... so apparently katsuki's been thinking on it too. it'll be easier to clean up out here as well. they have water and soap after all. plus used clothes. look, he's only human too.
he glances to the single tear wiped off, thumb coming up to brush under denji's eye.] You gonna pay attention? [will that boner last through the instructions? not sure. but he'll give him a rundown of how to pair the rings together and sync them with the oculars. he also mentions the option to pair the rings with other rings as well, though that requires both participants to agree, so there's no "paired behind your back" bullshit going on. as for the other part...]
You can also temporarily experience what the other person's is experiencing, but only through sight, hearing, and feeling. [whether that "feeling" means emotion or physical touch or both is unknown.] It's an optional function. [just keep feeding the kinky mind ideas, katsuki. what can go wrong?]
[ooc: we shall see! i'm picky with tormenting him, haha. he's gone through plenty in his life. but he's overdue for something intense! denji's gonna be there for him with biting and blood, so that's one! katsuki's ironically led an extremely un-traumatic life, unlike so many of his classmates and canonmates. no sob story, no tragic background, he's just a jerk, hah! katsuki will likewise be "taken" if the topic comes up. look, denji's happy with any kind of sappy. what an adorable dork. he puts up with so much.]
