Nothing's gayer than two dudes flirting and there's a lot of chances it ends with kisses.

"I was taller than you but now..."
"Oh shut up, would ya ? You're cheating."
Ray looked up to Daisuke, who was sitting on one of the high benches of Splatsville's square with a sufficient smirk on his face. Ray had just come out of turf war, witnessed by the dark blue color of his hair and had found his boyfriend perched on it, seeming to really appreciate this height and apparently feeling flirty today.
"So what ? Scared of not being the big shell anymore Manta ?" Daisuke teased.
Ray rolled his eyes, a slight blush on his cheeks upon hearing the pet name he gave him, only making Daisuke's smile bigger. Even at the skatepark Daisuke was used to flirting with him, something that sure wasn't leaving Ray indifferent, and still didn't change to this day now that they were dating.
"I'm not the one calling me your top, you are."
"Yeah, that's why it's very funny when you don't act like one." Daisuke scoffed at him, clearly enjoying this.
"Hey, I carry you whenever I want." Ray frowned, pointing out : "Not like you could."
"I dare you."
"Okay you asked for it." He sighed, annoyed.
Ray approached him and was about to throw his arms around his back but Daisuke didn't let him finish and suddenly grabbed him, unexpectedly pulling him closer. Ray bumped into his torso with a yelp of surprise and Daisuke prevented him from breaking away by wrapping his legs around his waist.
Ray blinked, before straightening up a bit to take a small look at Daisuke, and he hugged him back. "Damn, boy chest my beloved."
"And you're my beloved idiot, bi boy."
They both chuckled and Daisuke gave Ray a peck on the neck, to which his ears wiggled cutely. "Think you can still pick me up like that ?"
"For sure, your little trick won't stop me." He confidently said.
Ray tightened his grip on Daisuke and gently lifted him up, being careful not to let him fall on accident. Daisuke grinned and freed him, feet hitting the ground again, regaining a normal height compared to Ray, not letting go of him though.
"It was pretty comfy actually." Daisuke admitted.
"Agreed." Ray nodded. "I could try to carry you in bridal style next time."
"That'd be cool, not gonna lie. But you think you got enough strength for that ?"
"Don't forget what I just did, I can definitely handle it."
"Kinda right." Daisuke patted Ray on the head, smiling. "Guess you deserve something then."
"A kiss ?"
"Maybe..."
"I mean, I have a nice view on your lips right now."
"What are you waiting for then ? Go ahead."
"Honestly, nah I'm good." He joked.
"Son of a- Squid."
Ray smiled in return and Daisuke falsely rolled his eyes, obviously knowing he was messing with him. Daisuke's look drifted on his cap and he slowly turned it backwards. Ray didn't do anything to prevent him, having a pretty good guess of why he was doing that.
They exchanged a soft gaze and Daisuke took Ray's face in his hand to lock their lips together. Ray closed his eyes and kissed back for some more that Daisuke wanted as well. They broke away for air after seconds that felt like an eternity.
"How was it ?"
"Perfect, but you can loosen your grip y'know." Ray giggled. "I won't run away."
"I know. I just wanna keep you close to me." Daisuke layed a peck on his ear, not ready to break their embrace yet.
"Then hold me closer." He said, and they went for another kiss.
