When: After Shishi leaves the teahouse
Summary: Touya invites Jin to visit again, and he happily takes up the offer.

Fortunately, it hadn't taken him anywhere near as long to arrive at the teahouse this time; it was only a few days after his last visit, and Jin had flown around enough to get a good idea of the

Touya brushed past him and a tingling chill ran up his arm, a guilty feeling that he would rather have supressed. After all these years together, something like that shouldn't exist, but it did and it bothered him. Almost like a taunt.

Fortunately Touya's next remark did just that, replacing the awkward feeling with one of carefree enjoyment. Yes, Jin turning down food or not complaining of hunger was rare but, he was now a guest in this house and the ningenkai had taught him a little in the way of manners. Or Genkai had.
"'Course not! Just don' wanna be a nuisance tha's all...wait...In tha' case I must be sick, ey?" Oh how Touya put up with him, that was a real wonder.

Jin strode willingly into the room, plopping himself down on Touya's bed and shifting the weight of his upper half on his arms, which were placed behind him against the bed.

Entering the room after Jin, he carefully closed the door. "I don't mind fetching you food, you know," he pointed out. "I assure you, I do so for Shishi on a very regular basis- just as I've done for you for years." But even as he spoke, he moved away from the door and settled on his bed beside Jin, looking down at him.

He had had feelings for Jin for a very long time, though he couldn't remember when they had started, and he knew Jin. Knew Jin well. And he knew Jin had never before looked at him like he was starting to look at him now.

"But if you aren't interested in food, is there something else you might be wanting?" he inquired, voice soft as he leaned down, face drawing near to Jin's.

Jin craned his neck back, so that his head was inches away from Touya's.
His azure hues were locked on the Ice Master's cerulean ones, still grinning, but in a different more devilish way.
"Ye wouldn't give it ta me, so it'd be a bit nonsense askin' now wouldn' it?"

Jin had no idea what had come over him. The once subtle feeling probing the back of his mind was now screaming, raging through his whole being, and once again he found it oh-so-hard to respect the annoying imp. How they had ended up in this position, it must have been bad luck on his part, or perhaps he was just overexaggerating everything...

Damnit, why did Shishi have to intrude on their lives?

"Jin, when have I ever denied you anything?" he murmured, one hand reaching out to lightly graze the tip of one of Jin's ears, ruffling his hair lightly, toying with it. "Why don't you try asking, hmm?"

He never would have been so forward if Jin hadn't been so obviously jealous.... and if he hadn't discussed it with Shishi. The imp was going to sleep with Suzuki, that was just a matter of time. Why not sleep with Jin in the meantime?

His heart beat faster. Such fond contact, had it been apparent before, Jin had never noticed it..well..not like this.
"'cos," He voice dropped to a low whisper, more to match the mood than to prevent anyone else from listening. The part of him that argued for Shishi's respect was but a dying flame, besides, it wasn't like the samurai had been completely loyal anyway. But...
"I wouldn't want ta interrup' somethin' you n' Shishi 'ad."

He would never lie to Touya, even though he cared little for Shishi's wellbeing, he did not want create a negative effect on his friend's part. And he would at least like the other to know how he felt.
