[ There’s a brief moment of… not hesitation, but contemplation, where the gears in Charlie’s head are clearly turning, trying to sort out what the most appropriate course of action is in this scenario. This is kind of a new one for him, to be enamored so quickly and so thoroughly that it feels like they’re days, weeks, into this relationship when it’s only been hours.

Finally, he seems to decide that if they’re both really on the same page here, both of them falling hard, and so, so fast, then there’s no harm in venturing— ]

My place?

[ Nanami isn't oblivious to the implications there of going to Charlie's room. He's not a stranger to one night stands, even if that's not exactly what he wants with Charlie. But the attraction is there and potent and he doesn't want to... not be with Charlie. Even the thought alone is enough to make arousal twist in his gut and he nods in agreement to Charlie's suggestion. ]

Sounds perfect.

[ He'll just make it very clear, either when they get there or... the next morning, that he's interested in Charlie for more than just his body. He wants to date. He wants to be official. He wants all of Charlie. ]

[ There’s a difference between a one-night stand and whatever this is turning into. A connection that is instant and electric, yes, but not so fleeting as to flash and go dark. Whatever happens when they get back to Charlie’s place is only the beginning, and that in itself is thrilling. ]

Great.

[ Charlie beams, slipping out of Nanami’s arms to catch him by the hand and start heading for the elevator.

And once they’re there, and the doors are sliding shut behind them, and they are well and truly alone, Charlie surges up for another kiss, a little more insistent. A little more heated. Like he can’t leave this man alone for a second. ]

[ Nanami isn't expecting Charlie to be on him when the elevator doors close, though he's more than thrilled to be on the receiving end of this when they get there. It's electrifying, this chemistry between them and he feels so drawn to the other man that it's hard to pull away. So, he doesn't.

Instead, he squeezes their entwined hands together and uses his other to curl against Charlie's cheek as he kisses him back, equally insistent as Charlie is. He breathes out against him and gives a soft, pleased noise as he opens his mouth to let Charlie in and deepens the kiss even more. Tongues sliding against each other, hot breath exchanged, they're very lucky that no one interrupts them in the elevator right now because they are definitely making out. And Nanami has no issues whatsoever with this.

He's going to kiss him for as long as it takes to get to Charlie's floor, not breaking for even a moment and instead indulging as much as he wanted to earlier, finally. ]

[ Ohhh, this. He wanted this. To get all tangled up in this man to the point where he kisses him as easily as breathing, to feel the heat of his open mouth and the press of his body. If just being near Nanami feels electric, then this is a bolt of lightning, and Charlie loses track of time and space until the elevator dings at the fourth floor.

The wizard pulls away with no small amount of reluctance, but it does help to know that more is yet to come, and it’s sure to be good. ]

It’s not far.

[ Thankfully, though he’d be happy to just let this man shove him against a tree or a lamppost and do what he wanted. (Maybe some other time.) ]

Room four.

[ Nanami is absolutely hoping for more. To kiss Charlie as much as either of them want, to gather Charlie in his arms and hold him and feel the press of their bodies together. He knows it's close now and so he'll move with Charlie as the elevator opens up and they head out onto Charlie's floor.

... Which is admittedly, not the floor he expected. He looks a little surprised by it, not enough to distract him from walking but he's definitely taking a look around. ]

This is the floor you live on?

[ A pause and then, quietly — ]

... It's one of my favorite floors in the entire hotel.

[animated]

[ He gives Nanami a sideways glance at that pause, unsure of just what sort of assessment is coming now that they’re here.

Not what he expected. That tugs a laugh out of him, bright and genuine in its surprise. ]

Guess it was meant to be, huh?
