It says enough about the dynamics of their relationship in that Arthit getting Kongpob in this position is a privilege. Despite the younger's enjoyment of this, the pleasure he gets purely from being placed like this, it's not something that comes easy. It's a process. It takes time.

Arthit presses his shoe further into his boyfriend's chest, and, if he concentrates hard enough, he thinks he can feel the rapid thump-thump-thump of his lover's heart somewhere under his sole. The only light in the room is that of the lamp, and it makes the younger look almost ethereal, the light casting a golden circle around his head, a halo. Arthit lessens the pressure of his foot, and Kongpob's chest rises and deflates dramatically a couple times before going back to normal. Arthit bites his tongue to refrain from apologizing.

"You don't have to be gentle," Kongpob had said the first time they had done this.

And he was right; Kongpob isn't some fragile glass doll, something that'll break at the slightest bit of pressure. Arthit lifts then sets down his foot to stand properly for a second, and Kongpob allows himself to relax before Arthit's once again pressing the toe of his shoe into his lover's body, now pushing at the spot right under his clavicle, closest to his shoulder. The two lock eyes, something defiant and dark in Kongpob's, daring the elder to press just that much harder.

So Arthit does.

Easily, Kongpob allows himself to be pushed back, spreading his legs the teeniest tiniest bit wider to allow stay balanced as his upper body leans back. With his shoulders back, his head drops forwards some, and the halo is gone. Arthit licks his lips. He looks good like this, and Arthit is reminded why this is just so much for both of them.

"I need that assurance sometimes," Kongpob had added when Arthit was still unsure of what to do, afraid of kicking his boyfriend or just hurting him in general. "I want to know that you approve. That I'm enough."

Arthit shivers at the memory before fighting against himself, forcing the words out of his throat before they can disappear: "You look good like this."

Kongpob lifts his head. That defiant look is gone, replaced with something closer to longing.

Arthit swallows. Some twisted part of him gets off on the fact that it's always Kongpob who has Arthit gasping, short of breath, but now, like this, just the slightest press of his foot can lead to Kongpob losing air, feeling light-headed and dizzy, the same way he makes Arthit feel. (Not that the elder would ever voice this hidden desire.) Arthit tilts his toe to make his foot fall to the right some before pressing it to the beginning of his lover's collarbone. He lifts his hell then and properly lines up his foot before lightly tapping the underside of Kongpob's chin with his toe. "Up," he says. "Look at me."

Kongpob is quick to obey.

"Good boy," he breathes out.

Kongpob stares at him with hungry eyes.

Arthit knows its up to him whether he wants to fill that void or not.

He drops his foot and gathers himself, making sure the younger's gaze is still on him. He contemplates taking a step back, leaving the other to stay on the floor like that, entirely at the elder's mercy until Arthit is ready to finish their game. A small, almost silent whine slips out of Kongpob's lips, though, and Arthit just can't say no to him.

It starts out small, a small touch to the top of Kongpob's thigh, just above the knee. It then progresses to a step on the inseam of the younger's pants, close enough to his crotch to tease, but not hardly close enough to satisfy. When he presses down a bit harder, Kongpob lets out a tiny hiss, and his knees slide farther apart, allowing the elder more room. Sometime during this process, the younger's eyes have slipped closed, and Arthit is eager to remind him who the real star of this show is.
