Thank you, thank you~♪
[He smiles warmly while Leo claps for him. What else can he do except be satisfied with that response? He was taking out his frustrations, but he didn't expect that to come through. It'd be a problem if it did, rather. And he definitely didn't expect to fluster Leo, so he's not disappointed about that. He sits back down on the couch.
Though he does say, in response to the "I think I can hear the influence" part:]
Oh, no, this and that are completely separate.
[Whatever that means.
The sweat under his collar is a bit uncomfortable, but that's his fault and he'll endure it. In response to the question about Jun, he replies:]
Yep, he should've been! I've heard him practice it before. Neither one of us wants to get rusty, so we try not to skip practice even now that our shuffle unit's on hold. And Jun-kun always keeps up his exercise regimen, too.
[Jun is so diligent about practice, in fact, that he once turned down Monika's offer of sex because he had to get to practice (unbeknownst to Hiyori). That's his hard-working junior!]

So what was it, then?
[ Leo's curious enough to ask but doesn't bother to specify, figuring it's enough for Hiyori to go on as he pulls his legs up to sit cross-legged instead. Leo doesn't practice a ton himself but he is notoriously difficult to herd into practices back home as well. ]

I figured that you'd worked the lyrics over some since coming here. Was I wrong, or was it just like that back home, too?
[ It was more the vibe, the heavy vibe - but then, he wonders how this solo contrasts against the others in Eden. It's not like Leo has any way to know what those were about, which now that he thinks of it he's kind of annoyed by. Back home he'd have gotten to hear hundreds of thousands of new songs by now. ]

Oh, that?
[Suddenly he looks like he gets it.]
I thought you were talking about the more fanservicey parts, like I needed this place's help to sing or dance that way, so I got a bit testy! Everyone treats me like some huge prude, just because I don't want to share Jun-kun with fifty other people who may or may not be diseased, but that sort of fanservice has been part of our unit since the very beginning.
[(This is not the only reason people treat him like a prude here.)]
As for the lyrics, I already had a draft of those back at home. But I guess you could say I was influenced by what this place isn't like.
[That is, a place where love can bloom.]
And I won't pretend being in love hasn't changed my delivery, too. But it was also influenced by some other things. And most importantly, it's a song for my fans! And I always keep them in my hearts, no matter how long it's been.

No, when I said "influence" I meant the lyrics, the tone, the delivery. Every new experience gives you a better basis on which to connect with other people, and a new depth to any form of art. It was a compliment and an acknowledgement! For the choreography, yeah, Eve is like that - but there's like...
[ He waves his hands around vaguely. ]
It's the same thing. I feel like there's something more comfortable about how you move. It's nothing to do with being a prude or not - I don't really care about that sort of classification, and I don't think I ever said anything about it anyway? It's not like I'm talking about being more comfortable with sex appeal, either. Or that it was this place that got you that extra little bit so much as the time and space with Nami, probably?
[ This sounds like a weird art debate better had with Shu, who would absolutely not wanna have it given the context. ]
It kind of makes me happy to see.

[Ah, yes. This is one of those times where he remembers Leo is someone who Thinks Deeply about stuff, after all. (Sometimes, anyway!)]
That does sound like what the Red Cardinal lady said. By meeting new people and having intimate experiences with them, we change our fate.
[He's not going to argue that the people he's met here (or even his experiences with the people from home) haven't changed his life or his outlook. But have they changed the way he sings? That, he was less sure of. It seems like something that could become a problem, if he does get to go home and if he's diverged too much from how he was singing there. But it's also very low on his list of concerns.
What he says about him and Jun is even more surprising, though. Hiyori tilts his head a little.]
Even when we're not performing together, you can tell something like that, huh?
[That they've gotten more intimate, or that he's become "more comfortable" as a result of that intimacy. It's an observation he hadn't expected, but Leo says he's happy, so he smiles.]
I might've been influenced by Jun-kun, but I'm sure Jun-kun's been even more influenced by me! So we should test his performance next. Last I heard, he was out shopping for ingredients. But it's been a little while since he left, so maybe he's also doing some Christmas shopping?

[ He thinks deeply about important things!! Like music! And people he loves! And The War (TM) but we try not to think about that one too deeply. Hiyori's been spending more time with Leo here than back home so he's gotten to see more of the serious moments just by means of talking a lot.
...however, he has also had to talk to Leo about things like evil sex clones, if I recall correctly, and phallus shaped pastries. So like, it evens out in there somewhere? Probably? ]
It's not something you have to perform together for, though I wanna see that, too! Are there any new Eve songs I don't know?
[ Are they waiting for Jun? Leo is immediately wondering about ingredients for what and remembering he hasn't eaten in a while. If he waits around, will he get fed. Is that something he can bank on... ]
Or gotten caught up in something, I guess~? I feel like he's the kind of guy who stops to talk to friends pretty easily. At least, whenever I see him he's pretty cool just stopping to talk to me about whatever until whenever! [ Admittedly normally during these times Jun has historically gotten sidetracked with questions like "when is the last time you ate something". Rinne, Hiyori, and Jun have all asked that question many times here.
MAYBE LEO SHOULD START EATING THINGS ON A SCHEDULE, and yet this still hasn't even occurred to him in canon and only through the miracle of Knights deciding he needed an assigned babysitter (Sena) to force feed him among other things has gotten him anywhere near to that. ]

( This sort of thing could go in so many directions. And isn't that what's so exciting about it? Whether they crash and burn out, whether one swallows the other, whether they manage to make this work— it's something that can make them feel alive. At the very least, it makes Esikko feel alive. He, too, loves kissing, loves the connection between two bodies, loves to press himself as close as he can to wrap himself in the warmth he's no longer allowed to have. His own laugh mixes with a quick breath of air, the hold of arms around his neck drawing him closer so that their foreheads can touch. His arms, though thin and fragile, manage to guide Leo onto his back on the couch, one arm reaching just past him to grip the armrest, a prop to keep his own body up as he dips his other hand between them, fingers toying at the waistband of his pants. )
So what sort of things do you enjoy, then? Leo.
( Spoken against his lips, his fingers pry his waistband back and release it in a light snap, his own smile curved against the continuing hungry kiss. )
You seem like someone who would be fun to tease, you know. ( And maybe he is now, constantly interrupting this kiss, playing with clothes but not yet advancing things further. He likes that eagerness, that joy, that flash of impatience— and he wants to draw it out more. )

[After the Spades event, Hiyori can confidently say that he would not have sex with his clone. Certainly not that clone!]
We were going to do a new song for Valentine's Day, but then we got kidnapped. So nope, not really! At this rate, we might just have to record our next song here! I'm sure you could help with that, right?
[Composing a song for them probably beats succumbing to suit-induced depression!
Hiyori's still worried about that, and he can't help but feel another pang of worry when Leo suggests Jun might've gotten "caught up" in something. He tries not to vocalize these things too often; he's aware of how clingy he's gotten here, and he doesn't want to suffocate Jun with that heavy love they talked about. Between the two of them, he's also a lot more prone to getting in trouble than Jun is. But he can't help but fret anyway.
If Jun doesn't come back before too long, he'll just text him. He'll certainly be willing to share whatever he planned on cooking with Leo. For now, Hiyori elects to focus on something else—like the other thing Leo came here for!]
By the way, I still need to take your picture. Did you want to try on something cute, like a cozy sweater? Or should I just go for a close-up of your face?

[ Leo isn't hard to lead. For one, he doesn't feel like struggling. For another, he's thin on his own part, though differently. He's the kind of athletic that can go on stage for hours, but Leo's also got a build that makes you think he skips as many meals as he actually does. Healthy but unhealthy with it? It's a contradiction, and really he'd only gained like a pound the last year before getting here because he'd lived with someone who forced him to eat on a schedule and now he's alone again and it's coffee when he remembers and food once he comes up for air from a composition. Sleep is the same way: he can't remember anything but music when he's composing. ]
Oh, teasing isn't gonna work at all if you base it on shame. [ He has none, you see, or it only functions once in a blue moon. It's not like he never gets embarrassed, but those times he's been mostly flattered and it's never once happened during sex to date. Not like Esikko was using shame just then - he sounds happy, too, and that resonates off of Leo's own and he doesn't mind Esikko speaking against his mouth and pulling back, but he does admit, perfectly honest: ]
But seems like you already got the picture to what would. I do get impatient. [ He also seems perfectly happy to let himself get teased, though. His eyes are wide and very brightly green and the hand that was at Esikko's neck fiddles with his hair, touching for the sake of it as amusement flares again on his side.
The thing about Leo is that when he's asked what he likes in bed he doesn't play coy about it or get ashamed, like he just said. He just spills it out easily, and it almost always throws people off or they think parts of it are weird, possibly because some of it is pretty uniquely Leo's nonsense even in a casino full of sex. Some of it is more normal, and that's the stuff he usually gets to do.
Well, mostly. He's still thrilled about kissing, and that's something he didn't always get to do. ]
I like kissing!! And I like making people happy, so I can be into almost anything. [ That's a crap answer, because "anything you want" isn't the revealing kind of honest Leo himself likes. It's true, though, so he briefly visits it before he goes on to spill out the rest messily between them, not caring if it's a "yes" or "no". He was asked a question, and it wasn't "what do you like that I like", which he can't even guess just yet anyway. ]
I like voices. I love your voice, it's so pretty. I like it when people talk to me and I like hearing them, and I wanna record every sound you make and put it to music, but no one has actually let me do that one yet, so I guess it's weird? Or embarrassing? I like it when someone else can be a canvas. About three quarters of my markers here are like, edible paint? I like seeing my music on other people's skin. ♪ I wanna write what what they make me hear and see it there even if it's easy to wipe away with a tongue. They're flavored, too!
[ He gets so excited about his edible markers please just. Pause as he gets all giddy about them. They're also! Colored!!!! He tries to stick to black for his normal markers these days so he can tell them apart, actually. ]
I've always wanted to hear someone sing something I wrote during sex, but everyone always says it's impossible, or they don't have the breath control, or it's weird or whatever. [ Is that even a kink with a name? ] Blindfolds wouldn't upset me but I think I'd cry if someone used earplugs. [ But he doesn't say that's a no? He's never tried that, it's just a tangent mentally as Leo tries to answer the question and ends up rambling, always rambling, flitting from one topic to the next with absolutely no care at all for how any of it is taken because Esikko said he'd take the weirdness and that means he gets it. ]
I think toys are fun. I like my hair being pulled and sometimes I like pulling it. I like biting! I like things that hurt and I like things that don't. I like new things even when I end up hating them because it's a new experience and that's inspiring and I'm never sure if I love it or hate it or hate that I love it when I can't breathe or there's a hand at my throat 'cause I've offered to let Knights cut off my head so many times and it always pissed them off and whatever it is I get all fizzly.
[ There's other things, more, but Leo gets bored talking about himself. ]
Tell me what you like!! [ Because he wants to hear the other half, doesn't even care if it matches up or doesn't. He just wants to know, both his hands sliding up to squeeze Esikko's cheeks just because. ]

[ Wow, can't believe Hiyori didn't update Leo on his clone feelings, clearly that was a highly important topic of conversation (it was not and Leo has since forgotten about so Hiyori can rest easy on that). ]
Can I keep the sweater if you dress me up in one? [ Leo is mostly kidding. Probably. ] Anyway, recording something new would be fun! When I wrote the new solos for the other Knights members we just had a bunch of chats so I had stuff to work with. It'd go like that, or if you guys had lyrics, I can always put them to music. It depends what you like better - having music to put lyrics to or the other way around.
[ He's so much more helpful with the music part. ]

[The clone tracked paint all over his carpet and slept with three people behind his back, leaving him with three additional cards in his deck and no clue who any of them came from. He feels slimy whenever he thinks about it. No more sex for that guy!
In response to the sweater question:]
Nope! ♪ You'll just have to wait until Christmas! Though if you want one before that, we could always go shopping together sometime. There are lots of stores selling Christmas sweaters. I'm sure Jun-kun can carry both our bags. He's carried bags for all of Pretty 5 before!
[Hiyori's passionate about his idol work (even if he can't truly do any here), but he's also passionate about shopping! And he's also passionate about getting Leo laid now, apparently, because someone has to be. But he does appreciate the offer to help them make music.]
I guess either one could work. First we'd need some sort of theme or motif, though. But I'll definitely consult with Jun-kun later. Why, if we manage to get a song produced, just think of how Ibara would react. I'd love to see the look on his face when we send him the file! I'll say to him, "This is a song me and Jun-kun! We're songwriters now! And the composer was none other than our dear friend Leo-kun~♪"

( Very informative, all of this rambling. It's something that might get annoying, in certain contexts, or down the line— but annoyance isn't some sort of a deal breaker for Esikko, anyway. Right now, it's new and intriguing, and the words that do come out make all the difference. There's not a single thing he says he enjoys that sounds dull, not a thing that sounds like something he'd be entirely unwilling to do.
Of course, as Esikko thinks on it, as his eyes trace the shape of Leo's lips while he rambles, he thinks that maybe there's nothing like that in the world, anyway. )
I like when things aren't dull, so all of those things sound fun to me.
( To start things off. The one thing he'd be hesitant on is using his voice in sex like that, but the moment it was mentioned that no one else would? It was like a challenge, like something he had to step in and be the best at, be the only one, the best one. He's insecure, worried about the idea of singing to anyone but himself, but if anything, sex sounds like the perfect place for it. Relaxed, heated up, wanting more? Sure.
The hands at his cheeks are warm, and so he leans into one of them, eyes closing as he considers the words, hand tugging more insistently at the hem of Leo's pants, to lower them, to wiggle them off in the middle of all this. )
I like to feel alive. That's a wide range, you know, of things like doing it in places you shouldn't, or ways that are dangerous; I quite like blood, thanks to the way I use my magic, and that's not something I share with everyone for fear of them rejecting the idea. But you seem rather open.
( He seems like the kind of guy who'd try anything once. Or indefinitely? His face lowers again, when pants are out of the way enough, to pepper kisses from the corner of Leo's mouth down to his jaw, to his neck, speaking in between. )
I like feeling wanted, important, like I'm the only one who could possibly do something. Hehe... it's silly, isn't it? Childish? I think I'd like to make you beg, to hear just how much you'd like to hear my voice, until you're either so overcome with impatience that you draw it out of me on your own, or I take pity on you and finally give it all. Hm, that sort of thing...
But as for the methods, I don't think I'm so particular. I enjoy trying new things.
Of course, as Esikko thinks on it, as his eyes trace the shape of Leo's lips while he rambles, he thinks that maybe there's nothing like that in the world, anyway. )

I like to feel alive. That's a wide range, you know, of things like doing it in places you shouldn't, or ways that are dangerous; I quite like blood, thanks to the way I use my magic, and that's not something I share with everyone for fear of them rejecting the idea. But you seem rather open.
( He seems like the kind of guy who'd try anything once. Or indefinitely? His face lowers again, when pants are out of the way enough, to pepper kisses from the corner of Leo's mouth down to his jaw, to his neck, speaking in between. )
I like feeling wanted, important, like I'm the only one who could possibly do something. Hehe... it's silly, isn't it? Childish? I think I'd like to make you beg, to hear just how much you'd like to hear my voice, until you're either so overcome with impatience that you draw it out of me on your own, or I take pity on you and finally give it all. Hm, that sort of thing...
But as for the methods, I don't think I'm so particular. I enjoy trying new things.
[ If Leo gets so annoying Esikko wants him to shut up, he should just say so whenever it occurs. It's the way other people usually handle him at home, and Leo rarely takes it badly - he knows he can be annoying and overwhelming as hell at times. He's quick enough to shift up, lifting his hips and maneuvering easily with little nudging needed. Flexibility isn't a problem for him, even though he skips practice whenever he feels like it. ]
How do you use your magic? [ Blood magic. Sounds scary, sounds cool, sounds fascinating! Leo doesn't feel the fear that the scary part should inspire, but he feels the curiosity that always chases after anything new, exciting. ] Wait, don't answer! Lemme imagine it.
[ Liking blood, because of how he uses it. Stories and possibilities open up, one after the other, stars in an infinitely expanding universe that won't stop until Leo has a real answer. For just this moment before he knows the truth the answer could be anything and he wants to drag that out, let it play out until he's buzzing with it.
Ugh, he can't kiss Esikko's mouth if he's moving down like that. Leo captures one of his hands instead, because he wants to kiss something and a palm works. ]
Let's see~! There's so many things it could be, exciting! A blood sacrifice, calling something from nothing? What you have to use to write a formula and call up that power? Or maybe it's not something you use to trade, but something you can use itself? If I cut open my wrist would you be able to move the blood however you liked? Can you move your blood? Do you like how it tastes? Maybe if you drink it then it'd warm you up? What's the weight of a heart, magically speaking? I wanna know.
[ Esikko is better at bed talk than Leo. Leo's thrilled to be picturing something he definitely shouldn't be thinking about right this second, of course, but as usual he's honed in on something that fascinates him but is exactly the wrong mood (?) for what he's doing.
He bites the palm, then lets go and allows himself to explore more instead. Scar on the left of the chest. An anatomy chart in his head, and he follows the organs beneath that cut and grins again. ]
Isn't it fine if something is silly or childish? Hm, I think I hate that! I'll accept absolutely any level of "look only at me" but it's boring as hell if you try to soften it. [ That's kind of rude, Leo. But then again, he hasn't been polite at all this entire time, so is it really that shocking?
If his pants are off he feels that in fairness he should not be alone in this, and squirms around to get a hand further between them so he can fix that. ]

[ Amazing that Hiyori's clone made a mess with paint over his things before Leo somehow did, all things considered. As to passion, Leo absolutely never minds working on idol things so he's happy to be contracted to write music for as many songs as Eve wants, here.
It's not like he's writing anything for anyone else from home besides Knights at this point? And Hiyori's passion for getting Leo laid (help) is probably not that hard to work since he's easy and has already made things incredibly weird with the first person he's been introduced to, which is about what could be expected. Hiyori does not need to know about this future event. ]
I can work as an independent contractor whenever I like when it comes to music, so ya don't gotta worry about NewDi or anything, either. ♪ And okay, I'll just have you crop it then! I would be way too tempted to steal a soft sweater otherwise.

You have absolutely no filter.
( An obvious observation, and one he already made ages ago, but he says it with an air of amusement, right now. Like he's extra fascinated, like he's excited at the idea of it, so much so that even the rather rude comment gets written off immediately. He like, bit him and moved on?? Esikko is still amazed.
But for now, he allows him to mess with his pants in return, taking that as a chance to lean back in for another kiss. Shorter, thanks to their conversation, but not without the same eagerness as earlier. Fingers find their way to his hair tie to pull it loose, and he hums a thoughtful noise against his ear. )
Spilling all of those answers all at once... Wouldn't it get boring? I can tell you, or show you, but you have to take it one at a time, and you have to earn it. ♪
( Like it's a game, revealing his secrets, talking about the things he'd love to have the excuse to talk about. He wants to feel wanted, wants to feel interesting, so of course he's going to draw it out. )

[ A hum is a hum is a hum is music. Leo thrills at that, even though it's just a thoughtful little pause, and why's that what gets him to flush excitedly except well yeah of course it does. A pretty little noise that's halfway music and his breath will catch as he repeats it in his head again and again and again. It means he actually shuts the fuck up for a minute, wide-eyed and startled.
He needs the minute to stop staring with the force of his own little revelation - the same kind that always stops him in his tracks and makes him feel unmoored before he finds the thread of melody back in - and then has to blink and play back the words instead of the sound. ]
Huh, what? [ Answers, showing, what were they - oh, right, blood magic, they were talking about that. Right! ]
Show me, then. How does earning it work with you? [ Yes, a stupid absentminded little hum DOES throw him off his game more than kissing him or clothes coming off. Leo was not in any way lying about the voice thing.
Rebooted for some given value of it, he shoves up enough so Esikko has to help him get the pants all the way off or get dislodged. ]

[You know what they say. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. And the fact he set Leo up with a sadist when he was specifically trying to prevent him from getting hurt is one of those things it's probably safest to remain ignorant about. :')
And speaking of setting Leo up with people: his brows raise when Leo brings up the subject of posing for a photo all on his own. And here he thought Leo would be thoroughly distracted by thoughts of music and ~inspiration~, forcing him to be the one who had to get them back on track. But Leo did remember, so they can get right to business! He beams.]
Great!
[And then sets his phone down, rolling back the sleeve of his sweater to reveal his wristwatch.]
I'll take one with the watch. My phone would take better-quality photos, but then I'd have to transfer them and that's a pain. Plus I'm not sure if it'll create one of those "time paradox" things if I go home with pictures from the resort on my phone.
[Though he wonders if it might be worthwhile to try.
..... Someone here suggested that they might lose their memories upon going home. It's one more thing that haunts him, even though he's more concerned about actually getting home in the first place. He also knows it's a toss-up whether someone who's disappeared comes back with memories from their first stay here, or whether they just forget everything that happened the first time. If he went home without his memories, but then he saw photos from the resort on his phone, would that help him remember again...?
It's a thought he shelves for later. For now: matchmaking! He moves his wrist so that the watch screen is level with Leo's face, looking at him critically.]
Is now good, or did you want to freshen up first? You don't look photoshoot-ready, but you don't look unkempt or anything, either. I know some people like to leave their best impression, though!

[ A comedy of errors, Hiyori presumably didn't select an entire list of sadists though so maybe the next attempt will be less cursed??
The only reason he stays on topic is because a sweater was related to it. He apparently really wants a nice sweater? Why doesn't he just go buy one... ]
As I am now is fine! It'd just be false advertising otherwise. ♪ [ If it's a pose, he chooses his favorite one because of course. ] Uchuu~ ☆

[He did not, no!! Esikko-kun plz don't fucking kill his castmate.
Leo does his signature pose, which looks cheeky and cute. No doubt about it, this photo will pass muster! He goes ahead and snaps one, then another for good measure, before drawing his wrist back to look down at the screen. As he thought,]
Perfect!
[He appears satisfied.]
This should do the job just fine~♪

( Oh, he's that easy with it. Esikko smiles, eyes twinkling with the sort of pride that he doesn't know how to hold back, and allows himself a short laugh after a press of a kiss near Leo's ear. He does move, after that, to help get his pants the rest of the way off, wiggling free and shoving them aside, sloppily on the couch. )
You'll have to figure it out as you go. Like you've just found a brand new instrument, you know~?
( Is this speaking his language? He can only assume so, as he leans back in for another kiss, his body looming in and knees touching down on either side of his hips in a proper straddle. )
Do whatever you want, and I'll do the same. Like a dance, we'll figure things out quickly enough, won't we? And I'll answer more after we've had a nice time.

[ Leo comes over to peer over Hiyori's shoulder at his wrist. Or, well, since Hiyori's notably taller he's more peering AROUND his shoulder, hand hooking on said shoulder so Leo can lean in precariously. ]
Hey, how do you and Naru always get pictures so clear anyway?
[ It's the actually taking their time and not getting distracted mid shoot part. ]

[ It's an attempt at it, a music analogy. A brand new instrument! Leo's the kind of annoying genius who can pick things up without trying, musically speaking. He prefers working with digital, mostly, but his first love was a piano (literally) and if it's musical he cares enough to pick it up and try it. When's the last time an instrument was different enough from everything else it took that much effort?
People are way more effort, even though Leo does think music is a universal language. Emotion and general things get across well - but the fiddly little bits that make up real people can get lost in it sometimes.
But it's cute, Leo thinks, that someone's making an effort to put it in a way he'd maybe understand. Leo doesn't think that's the why exactly - it's probably just a little bit performative, a way to stand out, but he's never minded that in other people. Leo thinks that's cute, too. Or fascinating?
Like a dance and he glances over near the wall, that particular solo penned and ready for someone not around to sing it - but then he refocuses again, hands warm on Esikko's thighs and fingers tapping again to that piano before he lets the thought of Suo fade away, too. ]
Cute. ♪ You're pretty smooth when you're doing that, huh?
[ A little bit manipulative and a little bit earnest, he thinks, slipping in music terms and setting up a scenario that Leo can recognize and finds compelling and entertaining, and Leo just got permission to do whatever he wants again and so he tests those waters by surging back up because really he can only stay semi obedient on his back for so long before he loses interest. He's pretty sure it doesn't matter how much they kiss - Esikko probably won't warm up, and normally Leo hates being cold but he figures it's fine right now. Maybe if he kisses him hard enough Leo can get Esikko on his back, is what he figures as he tries it. ]

[Leo is welcome to look at his own photo. Hiyori doesn't do anything with it just yet, but he'll send it along to potential matches later. (So many potential matches!)]
