Beach. Everyone has been working so hard lately so why not take a break and enjoy the beach? You can make sand castles, play in the water, and there are even umbrellas for those who'd rather just relax in the shade. There's a nice row of water melons ready to be smashed later in the day and when the sun goes down, that's when the sparklers come out.
Suffering. It's the hottest time of the year and the citadel doesn't have central air conditioning. The few air conditions that were installed have given up on life after being used so much and now, we really have to make do with what we can while the Konnosuke try to fix it. There's a limited number of fans, plenty of ice cream to go around, and the citadel should be built to circulate air, right? ... Right?!
Spooks. In Japan, summer is a time for horror. Gather around the camp fire and hear some spooky ghost stories or maybe head out into the woods just outside the citadel for a good ol' fashioned test of courage. It's all good, harmless fun! Of course, with so many spirits gathered in one place, what's to say a stray or curious outsider spirit won't join the mix...
Rain. Summer is also known for sudden and torrential downpours of rain. The clouds always seem to grown and darken suddenly and the next thing you know, it's raining sheets and the ground is shaking from thunder. Once it starts, it never seems to stop. Maybe you were caught out in the rain or maybe this is day 7 stuck inside.
Other! It's summer and there are tons of things to do. Go to the general store and stock up on ice cream, wake up in the middle of the night uncomfortable with heat, or run around screaming because cicadas are dying and flying at your face.
[The touch makes him shudder the tiniest bit and his eyes slip shut at the kiss. He follows Mikazuki’s lead and returns it gently... at first. Then one of his hands reaches behind Mikazuki’s head to pull him closer and his other hand slides into the opening of his yukata to caress him, as his kiss becomes hungrier and more intense, his shyness melting away. A memory being triggered.]
[Mikazuki shivers slightly when he feels that fire (ah! fire) in Ichigo's kiss. Again, his body seems to remember more than his mind does, so maybe they should have done this earlier.
So he answers in kind, his own mouth becoming more demanding as his hands also get to moving and going back to getting under those pesky clothes that he had started removing earlier... and of course they need to break off the kiss a little so he can really remove some of these, but as soon as he can he is back to kissing and pressing Ichigo against him so he can rediscover that back, fingers dancing on the shoulderblades and down Ichigo's spine.]
[Ichigo lets his desire take over, abandoning all reason and restraint.
He moans softly in return, his fingers entangling into Mikazuki’s hair. He quickly shrugs off his upper clothing during the brief break, eager to get back to the kiss. His breath catches slightly as he quivers at the fingers dancing over his shoulder blades, his spine and his scars. He responds by reaching out to undo obi of Mikazuki’s yukata.]
[Mikazuki's hands settle on Ichigo's hips, his fingers dipping under the waist of his pants as he keeps kissing him.
He doesn't stop any of Ichigo's movements, letting him tug the obi free and leaving the fabric to pool open around him.... and he might have somehow removed his fundoshi earlier. Oops.]
[He gladly returns the kiss with happy little sounds, as his fingers eagerly trace Mikazuki's now bare skin, slowly exploring his back, his arms, round to his chest. His fingers linger on his chest for a moment before sliding downwards, lower, lower and then his hand brushes against...!
He gasps and pulls away for a moment, suddenly feeling very shy again... Part of him feels like he should cover his eyes, but, but a larger part just wants to take in this magnificent scene before him...]
[He actually grasps Ichigo's wrist gently but firmly, guiding that hand to his own chest again and then down, all the way down, letting out a little gasp when it reaches the very place where he wants it.]
[He looks away slightly. His heart is beating so deafeningly loud again in his ears that he’s pretty sure Mikazuki can hear it too. His captured hand trembles lightly from a mixture of excitement and nervousness. He knows he supposed to be familiar with this but... he really can’t remember and he’s not completely sure what to do! This is all so confusing, he knows he most probably isn’t a virgin but he feels completely like one right now...]
I did...?
[What is he supposed to do...? He only has a vague idea, but he doesn’t want to disappoint Mikazuki! He does try tentatively wrapping his fingers lightly around the place Mikazuki wants him to touch. He takes a deep breath, trying to calm down a little as he finally looks up at him once more.]
[So he has forgotten even this? one would think the body would remember some sensations... how odd. And how strange to have Ichigo's hands on him so shy, when in the past they were so self assured and confident.
He gives a short gasp when Ichigo's fingers wrap around him, and then moves closer, nibbling along Ichio's jaw as his own hands move down and then inside the pants this time, mirrorring the action.]
I'm not going to tell you, Ichigo. I'm going to show you.
[Once you get a feel of what feels good, it'll be easier.]
[The sensations do feel familiar, but as for the techniques to achieve such sensations... well, he’s remained celibate all this time so it’s not like he’s had any chance to practise or regain them. And that makes him less than confident in his abilities...
He is unable to stop from closing his eyes and leaning into the nibbles. That feels nice. Then he shudders with a little cry when Mikazuki takes hold of him. That-That feels even better! His own hand tightens around Mikazuki from that shock of pleasure.]
[To him, this is not new, and yet... it might as well be. He is rediscovering Ichigo after so many years apart. Will he still like the same things? Will his body remember certain touches?
He starts moving his hand the same way he used to back then, intent on both bringing Ichigo to full hardness and also trying out a few things, seeing if certain caresses elicit the reactions he was used to seeing back then.]
[He nods and makes a soft sound of acknowledgement, before trying to relax. At least, as much as he can with everything Mikazuki is doing to him now. He leans back and starts panting softly with little whimpers at each stroke, lick, suck and kiss, his hands clawing at the tatami beneath him. Everything seems to get a reaction out of him though as it’s been so long since anyone’s touched him like that. His entire body feels so sensitive and he’s soon extremely aroused.]
[It's okay, if you come first, Ichigo. You are basically new at this and he is very much not. Let him show you exactly how good it all is. You can even reciprocate another time if you're too tired. He doesn't mind.]
[The very last sliver of reason in the back of his mind worries about possibly making the tatami dirty and wonders if it’ll be easy to clean...
But that thought is soon swept from his mind as a wave of intense pleasure overcomes him and he’s unable to stop from bucking against Mikazuki’s hand as he releases himself with a soft cry. Then he leans against him, his eyes closed, trying to catch his breath. That felt so good.]
[Ichigo keeps his eyes closed as he kisses him back, his tongue slowly exploring Mikazuki’s mouth. He pulls away a bit to shake his head.]
... no, I haven’t... I was in pretty bad shape when I woke up again. It took a long time for me to recover my full strength and to relearn a lot of things. S-Something like this was the last thing on my mind...
]Then he looks away a little, feeling embarrassed once more.]
I did start having... dreams though before coming here... dreams where I... [You know the kind. Dreams that required him to change his bedsheets quickly and hope that the others didn’t notice!] I could never remember who they were of... but now that I think about it... they were perhaps of you... [He reaches out to loving touch Mikazuki’s cheek.]
... You get so easily embarrassed about these things now.
[This is, honestly, the biggest personality change he can see in Ichigo between before and after the fire. Somehow, his confidence in battle, his natural authority, these are still here, but having an Ichigo that is shy and easily embarrassed is a new experience.
He doesn't dislike it or compare it unfavorably to what he himself knew before, but it's simply new information to take into account.]
Well, if dreaming of me brought you some pleasure, I am glad.
No, you were not... but it is quite adorable to see you blush in this way.
[What was it he said to Honebami? Now we only have to make new memories together. It's the same here, even though Ichigo does seem to have a few remnants, more than Honebami anyway.]
[And that of course is an effective way to make him blush!]
I'm... glad you don't mind it...
[Yes, how to do so. Maybe... he'll follow the example you gave him just now.]
Like this?
[He reaches out for Mikazuki's lower body a little more confidently than his earlier attempt. Then he tries copying the way he'd licked, sucked and stroked him just now. Along the way, a tiny fragment of his memory is triggered and his movements turn more intense yet familiar.]
Mikazuki is just going to let him play, running his fingers through the blue hair, hips moving softly into the touches.
He feels the change when the movements seem to become more purposeful and he smiles to himself, but he doesn't say anything. he doesn't want to snap Ichigo out of it, but his own sighs and gasps and moans are also coming out more freely.]
[Ichigo likes the feeling of Mikazuki’s fingers in his hair. He leans towards them, closing his eyes for a moment with a content hum as he does his best to reciprocate Mikazuki’s earlier actions.
After the memory is triggered, Ichigo glances up when he hears his name. The look in his eyes is slightly different, not quite as innocent. And that term of endearment that had greatly embarrassed him earlier, no longer does, for it is what Mikazuki has always called him.
He pulls his mouth away from pleasuring Mikazuki, letting his hand take over so that he reply.]
... Mikazuki.
[There is a change in his tone as well. It is deeper, more confident and authoritative, then he reaches over to kiss him deeply, slowly as his hand keeps up its hard, quick strokes.]
He's seen it so many times. And when Ichigo reaches for him to kiss him, he doesn't resist, grabbing Ichigo's shoulders and whining softly into the kiss as Ichigo's hand finally brings him to completion right there, his whole body shuddering with it.]
... Ichigo.
[Don't mind him, he is going to steal another kiss.]
no subject
[He's going to stroke Ichigo's jaw with his fingers, then lift his chin.]
How about a kiss first then?
[A soft kiss, nice and slow, taking the time to explore gently... now that they have time, he's planning on actually taking his time.
And maybe it will make Ichigo a bit more demanding... or bring back some shreds of memory.]
no subject

no subject
Mikazuki kisses Ichigo's forehead then, and captures his mouth again for a slow, languid kiss.]
Have you never even done this to yourself, Ichigo?

He smiles rather bashfully]
... it's no longer just a dream now and I want to bring you pleasure too.

As they kiss though, Ichigo slowly wakes from his trance and the memory slips away once more...]

I thought we were supposed to be cooling off... and now here you are warming me up instead, Goshuujin-sama.
