( if they're talking about being smitten, ushijima most certainly is with sizhui. even though they've been like this for months, this still feels like something completely brand new, something exciting. he enjoys this feeling more than he ever imagined he would. he has sizhui to thank for bringing this new experience into his life.
he'd always heard of skinship before winding up here, but it never meant much to him. sure, he did things with his friends — everyone on his teams have been very touchy-feely, and he's never really minded that kind of thing. but this... this is on a whole different level and he finds he really, really, really enjoys when they're pressed this close to one another. them settling against one another, fitting together like they were made to do so.
like this kiss, for example. any kiss that lingers with sizhui is never longer than necessary. they're all necessary. ushijima presses more into it, making it even longer. maybe being nice enough to let them both have a break for a quick sip of air. he even takes it a little bit further by nudging sizhui over and following him. maybe sizhui doesn't want to be pushy and show any signs of being clingy, but, well. ushijima doesn't really mind all that and wants to cling to him as much as he's allowed. a hand smoothes down sizhui's side, his hip, down the back of his thigh and coaxes his leg to wrap around his hip. if they can be even closer, he's all for it. )
[that's one of the best parts about being with ushijima; everything's still exciting and new-feeling, it's almost like they've just started their relationship fresh all over again. alongside this, there are also moments where he finds peace by simply being in ushijima's presence, which sizhui thinks is a good balance. he'd almost forgotten how it felt to get butterflies in his stomach and feel his pulse race every time he saw the other man, then it goes and happens during even their quietest moments.
such as now, with them lying together, savoring each other's body-heat and the skin-contact. (offhandedly, he wonders if ushijima can hear his heartbeat fluttering like the wings of a hummingbird—) but he's relishing the attention too much to actually care, the soft drag of his fingers over ushijima's shoulder, how it feels to stroke the pad of his thumb across his cheek then down, halfway over his jaw.
what could honestly be better than this?
. . . well, the kiss becoming deeper sure counts! he squeaks a quiet noise, face blushing, mouth faintly opened so his tongue is able to dart across ushijima's lips like he's silently coaxing him. when they part for air, sizhui gulps greedily, gathering as much as possible before they come back together. the nudging, however, gets his full attention; it has him shifting, eyes widening and his brows arching with consideration as ushijima moves along his torso until he reaches his thigh, which he then wastes no time raising to put over his hip. goodness, if he wasn't already red from before, he certainly is now, but sizhui's arm tightens around ushijima's shoulders, that leg worms its way a bit higher, and the opposite one carefully moves in-between ushijima's so he can neatly tuck himself against his companion, head beneath ushijima's chin.]
