Nathan x Gilbert

Nathan felt the hands through his hair and purred softly as he pressed closer, being careful not to rub against him or anything that would get the other man going. Instead he just did his best to nuzzle against him and purr like a contented cat as Gil washed the soap out of his hair. What he would have really liked to do was give him a kiss but he was just too tall so he settled for the cuddling, enjoying having the other man's hands move through his hair, humming a bit as he did so. "Mm you know what's odd?" he spoke quietly, "You're the first person I've let do this."

Gil blinked and looked down with a bit of surprise as he realized that low noise he was hearing along with the water was the other man purring. He didn't know people -could- purr, but he sure seemed to be managing it somehow. He shook he head a bit bemusedly and ran his hands through his hair a few more times. "Eh?" He stopped his moving, though really his hair was pretty much done and Gil was just running his hands through to enjoy the feeling of his clean hair. "R-really?..." His voice was just a bit high and he was starting to blush again.

Nathan chuckled a bit when he felt the other stop running his hands through his hair, purring a bit more and reaching up to grab his shoulders, stepping up on the shower seat so that he was around the same height as the other male. Wrapping his arms around his neck and pulling him into a kiss, which was what he'd been after for awhile ever since he brought up that Gil was too tall. He let his own hands drift into Gil's hair, breaking out of it and smirking. "As for the nickname thing, it's because ninety percent of the time they do it to endear you." He stated, before kissing the other man on the cheek.

Gil blinked a few times in confusion when his shoulders were grabbed, about to ask what the heck he wanted when he was suddenly on the same level as him, causing more confusion before he found their lips locked together. Much as the first time they kissed, his body just sort of took over while his brain was in shock, causing his own arms to snake around Nathans waist while he seemed to melt into the kiss. His brain wasn't so much in shock anymore so much as high of super happy endorphins. He shook his head a bit dazedly once Nate pulled away, taking a bit to really register his words and decidedly red as he came down of his happy high a little. "Atleast in your case.." He muttered, thinking of that stupid rabbit.

Nathan sighed softly, also thinking about someone similar, brushing his lips against Gil's to entice him to try and be a bit more confident of himself, and to also let him know should he want another he was welcome to it. "Sometimes people just say it to be mean, but you shouldn't let them get under your skin." He stated calmly, letting his fingers slowly work over the other man's muscles, though it soon became apparent that he was actually working the tenseness out of them. Gilbert had plenty of that to spare it seemed. Though the water was nice and soothing and Nate found he was able to relax them a lot easier with its help.

Gil shivered just a bit at that light brush, feeling very much the desire to follow up on that with another one, though he was rather vainly trying to resist. Those wonderful hands not making the task any easier. He'd already started to relax somewhat in the warm water and Nathans presence, though that did hold it's own stressful moments. At this moment though, he was very much well on his way to being a puddle of happy relaxed goo. Well, mostly, he was a heck of a lot more relaxed than he had probably ever been, but his tenseness was persistent and self replicating. "mmm..." His eyes half drooped and he found himself closing that last little distance between them for another slightly hesitant kiss.

Nathan blinked, he was a bit surprised that Gil pressed into a kiss, but not disappointed. In fact, that thrilled him, and he responded by returning it just as softly to give him the confidence and encouragement he would need in order to deepen it and or grow more comfortable. He let his hands run through Gil's hair, enjoying the softness, even though they were both moderately soaked.

Gil was pretty darn hesitant, considering Nathan was the first person he'd ever -really- kissed. He kept on expecting to have the man stop and be like 'that sucks'. When that didn't come however, he became a bit more bold and tightened his arms around the other man while he somewhat awkwardly tried to deepen it. Since his brain was ruling rather than his body he wasn't as skilled as he might have seemed earlier when he was just -doing- it without thinking. He could feel the awkwardness though and of course retreated immediately, flushing and looking away. "S-sorry.."

Nathan chuckled softly when he pulled away and apologized, wrapping his arms around the others neck, and pulling him close again. "Here.." he pressed back into the kiss, slowly taking his time to really kiss the other, and knowing that poor Gilbert hadn't kissed anyone in the past really. He pulled back after a few moments and kept himself there, he was going to teach him. "Try to relax and just go with it, you can't overthink kissing."

Gil half resisted being pulled back, rather embarrassed and ashamed by his poor attempt at kissing, but of course he ended up right where he started anyway, blushing more and not responding well at first but thankfully Nathan was very good at getting him to relax and stop his brain from working. Such deliberateness in the kiss made his head start spinning again, blowing all thought of much of anything out of his mind until Nathan gave him some advice. "B-but..." He didn't even know what he was objecting to, maybe at the idea of him somehow turning his brain off, which seemed pretty impossible for himself to do.

"Relax." Nathan stated quietly, letting his fingers graze over Gil's cheeks gently, his eyes still soft. "And just kiss me. There's nothing for you to worry about." He was going to help train this boy so that when the time came, he'd be just a bit more confident of himself. At least in this area, he still had a lot more ground to cover in others. He gave him a light peck on the lips and smiled encouragingly, secretly enjoying this because it gave him more than a good excuse to kiss the Nightray.

Gil flushed more, dropping his head and almost wishing they'd just let him be in his state of sulkiness, though at the 'just kiss me' part he felt a similar rush of that warm excited feeling he had when being told he could wash Nathans hair. He flushed worse and wavered for a few moments before giving in once again and closing that distance, nervous and hesitant, but also very excited, which was actually doing him some good. He was too emotional to think too much and it was much easier to just loose himself into the kiss.

Nathan purred and wrapped his arms around the other male, pressing into his kiss and relaxing instantly. Gilbert could of course kiss very nicely when he wasn't freaked out, or thinking over it too much. He let his hands roam over his back in a content manner, just enjoying the kiss now, instead of alerting the other to much of anything else. Due to the fact he was sure Gil would have lost his confidence or got more nervous and lost it. He instead purred more and pressed into it a bit deeper.

The sound of that purring had an interesting reaction from Gilbert, for a split second he was about to have a cat freak out, then his brain swatted that away and he melted against Nathan, starting to feel that pleasant high and the relaxation in the other man ooze it's way into himself, or perhaps it was those pleasant hands over his skin. He was still a bit nervous and almost backed out when he felt Nathan press a bit deeper, but then he managed to push himself a little and really get into it, deepening the kiss more and becoming entirely focused on the man in front of him, his hands easing their tight grip to instead start playing with that soft hair.

Nathan was very pleased with what the other man was doing, wanting to press even closer, but he knew that would just press him right up against Gil, and that may lead to something else that he may not be too ready for. He was just barely adjusting to kissing him back after all. He instead let his arms wrap around his neck again, and focused on just returning Gil's kiss, glad to see him relaxing and just doing what he felt he wanted to do rather than fretting. The hands in his hair really making him relax even more, giving a very soft purr in response.

Gil was about as close to cloud 9 as he ever got in this kiss, going with whatever his body wished to do, which was exactly what Nathan was resisting, pressing up closer against him and deepening the kiss even more. He was very much lost in his own desire for the moment and if he didn't snap out of it would probably do something that would get himself into trouble. On the bright side it was very much a good sign that he was learning how to relax. Perhaps just a bit too well, Gilbert had -a lot- of repressed just about everything that he was constantly keeping down. His hands kept moving through that lovely hair, occasionally moving to glide over his skin.

Nathan nearly groaned when Gil pushed up against him, though kept kissing back, and didn't resist. He wasn't going to push things though, so he only slightly squirmed when he felt Gil's hands gliding over him every once in awhile. You wouldn't expect Nathan to be the type to hold back being as confident as he seemed, but he was very much the type to let the other initiate things first. Gil may or may not learn that, but sometimes at the hint of a challenge, like Gil had done earlier. He could be baited into doing something. Instead he just returned the soft touches and kept kissing the other back, not wanting to move.

Gil gave a bit of a shiver when Nathan squirmed, feeling a slightly familiar sensation and not entirely sure what to do about it. The side of him that he was mostly in tune with at the moment was like 'go for it' whatever -it- was. His uncertainty and such was saying the opposite. He warred at it for a moment, hesitating and considering moving back but all of that repression was suddenly getting to him and quite rudely pushed that hesitation away. His kiss changed suddenly, turning hungry while Gil pressed him needily against the wall. He wasn't rubbing or anything, but he couldn't seem to get enough of the other man any more, his hands turning more to gliding over his skin than playing with his hair.
