Sometimes Naofumi does something that, to him, is just a basic action, but for L'Arc…it's the sexiest thing he's ever seen.
The first time L'Arc sees him without his cloak, he can't stop staring. He figured that Naofumi's shoulders are smaller than L'Arc's, which is adorable enough. Now… he just can't stop staring at Naofumi's butt, which is unfortunately usually covered by his cloak and relaxed pants.
Feeling eyes staring at him, Naofumi shudders before looking around for the culprit. L'Arc avoids Naofumi's gaze but does sneak glances now and again.
Honestly, that wasn't the only time L'Arc noticed how attractive Naofumi is. It's a culmination of many things… like Naofumi not wearing his cloak one day, or when Filo made him wear her clothes. Kiddo looked so small and cute. Even the way Kiddo ate certain fruits…was somehow sexy.
'Kiddo's like a small animal…or a cat,' L'Arc muses but knows to never tell Kiddo that, or he'll get mad and refuse to give him food.
The one that just breaks L'Arc's resolve is when Naofumi emerges from the river with the catch of the day. Raphtalia has cloth ready to help him dry himself and starts walking over, but for L'Arc, him emerging out plays in slow motion. The way the sun shines in his wet hair, the way the water's cascading down his body.
'Damn….' L'Arc finds himself staring more often than not. That was the moment he realized that he's in love.
At a particularly vulnerable moment, L'Arc suddenly grabs Naofumi's butt. His response, of course, was to hit L'Arc.
It didn't hurt, but still… Naofumi was so flustered, glaring at him as he anticipated the possibility of L'Arc jumping him.
L'Arc apologizes, and Kiddo just huffs, turning his head away.
From then on, L'Arc doesn't do anything too bad. Mostly harmless teases here and there.
After they start dating officially, he sneaks a grab when no one's looking, if only because Filo would ask questions about why he's touching her dad.
Most of the intimate moments between L'Arc and Naofumi is mostly just holding each other close…mostly because Naofumi's just so touch-starved.
They share lots of small kisses before they go deeper, L'Arc muttering praise and loving comments.
"Is this OK Kiddo?" L'Arc asks as he kisses Naofumi's forehead.
"Mm," Naofumi sighs, relaxing.
"Just tell me if it's too much, alright?" L'Arc mutters as he nips Naofumi's ear.
"Un," Naofumi nods, his ears and face turning red. He tries to hide in L'Arc's chest as L'Arc smiles.
After a long arduous day, a bath is relaxing. Naofumi's still tired afterwards…maybe a little sad as it's just one of those days.
Not bothering to put clothes on, he gets into bed naked. Shortly after, L'Arc joins him, too tired to put clothes on as he cuddles up to Naofumi.
Surprised at the sudden touch of bare skin, Naofumi just lays there, tense as he expects L'Arc's hands to start wandering and coax him into sex… but he doesn't. Beyond feeling the circles L'Arc's hands rub onto his back, those hand don't move anywhere else.
Eventually, Naofumi relaxes in his hold, finding himself revelling in the skin to skin contact as he falls asleep. Something about it just feels so much more gratifying than a clothed touch.
By morning, Naofumi finds that he's had a good sleep, which is rare nowadays.
Naofumi finds himself enjoying the prospect of nude cuddling after that night but doesn't quite know how to ask L'Arc to do it again.
However, that doesn't stop L'Arc from doing it sometimes. Besides… Naofumi likes it enough to snuggle, so L'Arc smiles, understanding that Kiddo likes it…and so does he.
In the kitchen, especially when Naofumi's cooking, L'Arc already knows that unless you're helping, you need to get the f* out.
Usually, he just goes in and hugs Kiddo from behind, giving him a couple of forehead kisses here and there. That usually deters him from getting shooed out of the kitchen.
This time, when L'Arc peeks into the kitchen and sees Naofumi cutting up apple slices. L'Arc comes in from behind, just pressing himself close as he gives Naofumi a few neck kisses…until it gets more heated.
"L'Arc~ Stop~," Naofumi whines, his cheeks red, putting the knife down on the plate.
"Hm~ no."
L'Arc gets a shield to the face in response, groaning as he held his head.
"Seriously…" Naofumi glares before he lightly kisses L'Arc's cheek, "Now, shoo! I'll bring you snacks later."
Nodding, L'Arc goes back to his office, not wanting to suffer Naofumi's wrath.
After about an hour as L'Arc does his paperwork, Naofumi visits him with a plate of snacks.
Seeing that L'Arc's really busy, Naofumi just snuggles into his side, listening to L'Arc write.
After a while, with closed eyes, Naofumi asks, "You done yet?"
"Almost, Kiddo," L'Arc replies.
Smiling at that, Naofumi opens his eyes and climbs into L'Arc's lap, sitting pretty as L'Arc finally finishes.
"Done."
L'Arc's rewarded with a kiss.
On colder nights, L'Arc finds Naofumi sitting by the fireplace. He'd explained once before that he's never had one when he was younger, but always thought they looked nice from holiday cards and some old western movies.
While L'Arc didn't get those things, he just brought a big blanket for them anyway. They snuggle together, Naofumi blushing and kissing him on the cheek.
One day, Filo called Naofumi "mom". To say he was shocked was an understatement. It was made worse when L'Arc asked, "Can I be dad then?"
Naofumi only glares at him, "No."
