Hot Tub In The Winter [M] COMPLETE

[ outfit. ]

The chill was really setting in that day, and Kai huddled against a tree with a few lads, skirting the lake. There was something that was so relaxing about spending his time off outside, though his friends would disagree. They wanted warm weather, they said, it was easier to play Quidditch or skateboard or whatever. One of them brought up ice skating, and they all agreed it sounded fun. But they made no move to remove themselves from the pocket they hid away in. It probably helped that Kai had thought to warm himself with a charm, mindlessly watching the icy lake with a spliff between his lips, and they pushed against him as he formed a makeshift heating lamp.

They were also all probably baked to shit, but that was beside the point. Kai appreciated the company.

But there was a stir from the lake below, and students gawked as some guy undressed and hopped into the water, like it was nothing. "What the hell?" One of the guys whispered, and they all snickered, "What a mad man." Kai snorted and shrugged, figuring he was dared to do it. But steam rose from where he lounged, like a makeshift sauna, and they all decided to drift over to him, like cats jumping from heat source to heat source. Kai followed suit, eyebrows perking up, and snuffed out the cigarette before shoving the remnants into his pocket.

Curiously, the dude rose from the water-- half naked, of course-- and laid himself down in the snow. Even through the negative vibes he had been feeling lately, Kai couldn't help but laugh, his head falling back from the surprise "HA". What was he doing?! He had to be under some sort of charm, right? Drank a warming potion and decided to dick around for kicks?

People seemed to keep their distance, but Kai wasn't having that. He didn't recognize the guy, so maybe some loon broke onto school grounds, or they had yet another new professor. Death & Survival, the class. Thanks, Murph.

“Hey”

Kai turned his hat backwards and popped a squat next to him. "Ay mate, the fuck you doin'?" He asked, tilting his head, "You aight? Buggin' on somethin' bad? Need some help, or...?" Despite this, he was smiling, more amused than he had been in a while. He was sincerely concerned for the guy, seeing as his... Pale, sensitive places were shockingly red, even for a white guy. It was tempting to honestly just throw his sweater over the guy, keep him from freezing to death, or at least that's what it felt like just to look at him.

Tobias laughed, the snow still steaming around him. He should have expected someone to come over. Unlike at Durmstrang, a student going swimming in the middle of winter was probably something unheard of.

“I’m cooling off,” he said grinning, still lying in the snow but with his head up and looking at the other kid, “The water’s hot if you couldn’t tell.”

He laughed again, sitting up now. He could smell the weed on the kid, but he wasn’t one to judge. Everyone had their drugs. To be fair, he was probably just as high as the other student was, moving from the hot water to the cold snow was such a shock to his senses that it filled him with energy and clarity. Endorphins and adrenaline were both flooding his senses.

“And the only thing I’m high on is life. And it’s one hell of a trip.”

Taking a closer look at the kid the first thing he noticed was the mismatched eyes. Badass. He was rather cute as well. Tobias normally didn’t go for the stoner kids but maybe he’d make an exception. Grinning, he flipped himself up, an athletic build and seeker reflexes made it quite easy. Lowering his hand, he offered to help the cutie up.

“I’m Tobias, and you should definitely join me," he winked as he offered, “the water’s great.”

As the winter wind blew by he realized just how few clothes he was wearing, and how much clothing the kid in front of him was in comparison. Moving closer to the other student, so close they were almost touching, he moved his hand up to take off the kid’s hat, eyes gleaming.

“I could always help with the undressing part,” he said, biting his lip as he undressed the kid with his eyes.

Kai nodded with wide eyes. Yeah, the water was hot, but literally everything else was freezing. But, he think he suddenly understood: This guy was totally not from the UK. He was probably from, like, Norway or something, where people were used to way worse temperatures. Scotland was freezing, of course, but there were worse places to be. Kai couldn't stand the thought, he needed warmth, and he rarely got it as it was. But not every day could be a warm, Irish walk on the beach, like the days he spent over the summer with his family. But, Kai spoke like a London chav, as that's who he was, where he was from, and most days were rainy and muddy. He learned to enjoy that, too.

All weather had its benefits, and he loved the cold, too. Kai just wasn't on the same level as this guy.

“And the only thing I’m high on is life. And it’s one hell of a trip.”

A hearty guffaw rang from the Hufflepuff, and he pressed his hand against his lips. That was so cheesy. But Kai had a mad respect for it, that level of optimism was something he leveled with completely. He might not have been clean himself, but there was a beauty to life that Kai fell in love with more and more every day. Even as he fought the negative vibes that weighed him down, kept him from rolling out of bed in the morning, he knew this. If anything, he wished he had the same level of whimsy as the dude before him. But there was an ache that he had to rid himself of, and perhaps one day he'd be on a running-around-soaking-wet-in-the-cold level of carelessness.

He averted his gaze as Tobias got up, out of both habit and respect. The dude's underloos were clingin' up in there. Without hesitation, he took Tobias' hand and rose from below him, to avoid, like, being Up In There, too.

"K-eye-mah-na," He replied with a nod and a wide smirk, "Just call me Kai, my dude. But, uh..." Bicolored eyes glanced behind him, back to him, and back to the water. Kai wasn't very naturally warm. He was quite a cold dude, which is part of the reason he clung to warm weather. The water may be hot, but the rest of the world wasn't, and he would not be okay with that aftermath. But, that's not what Kai was considering; he was wondering whether or not this guy was fucking with him, and if so, did he care? He did stupid shit all the time without considering the consequences, and he wasn't really about to now.

“I could always help with the undressing part,”

They were very close now, and Kai watched helplessly as his hat was so easily snatched from his head. Color immediately painted his cheeks, faint pink in comparison to Tobias' red arms and legs. Oh, seriously? That's what was happening right now? He had never met someone so blunt before. They literally just exchanged names. If this had been a friend, Kai would've giggled and agreed and it would've been funny and boyish and innocent. But this was? What was this?

He took a step back, fingers shyly grasping his elbow. "Dude, you're 'naners!" He snorted, "This is, like, when I say the oblig-o-tory, 'you say that to every bruv, don't ye'?' line, right?" Kai couldn't even look at the guy, becoming thoroughly embarrassed the further this went on. "Think the cold's gotcha, like, disoriented, or whatever. Lemme take you inside, f'real," He pointed to the castle with his thumb, before crossing his arms across this chest. He made no move to take his hat back, afraid that it'd cause some weird conflict and Kai would end up pinned by some soakin' wet bloke who was possibly, absolutely a Banana.

As he'd got the hat without trouble, he started spinning it in his hand still grinning.

“Not everyone,” he said, “I only offer to help undress cute guys. And you most definitely are one.”

He noticed that Kai wasn’t paying much attention, or any attention, to his naked body. Shame, though it could be out of respect or shyness. Either way, that was adorable. Apparently, Kai thought the cold was making him this way, and he didn’t seem interested in joining in the water.

“Fine,” he said, heaving an exaggerated sigh, “I guess that means I have to get clothes on.”

Tossing Kai back his hat, he headed over to where his clothes and wand were. Casting a spell to take the excess water off of his body and boxers, he put his clothes back on. Swinging the fur shawl over his back instead of putting it on. Walking back over to Kai, he took his hand in his, swinging them back and forth.

“There!” he said grinning, "I’m properly attired. Now where do you want to go, gorgeous?”

He winked at the gorgeous part. It was true after all, despite his mannerism and because of some of them, Kai was absolutely adorable.

Kai's eyes remained glued to his feet, unsure what to say, and unsure where to look. Cute. That was a strange one. In passing, he had heard a few girls call him "cute", normally after they got to know him more. It was rare that he ever heard it straight up, because of how he looked or whatever. Kai was aware he was grungy and unkempt and his hair was long and his face was never shaved. He was lazy in keeping up appearances, but he liked the way he looked, and he liked being comfortable with who he was. In truth, he got a lot of his looks from his dad, allegedly, but he was still distinct.

He was himself.

And it was, like, super fuckin' flattering to hear someone compliment him no big deal. "Whoa," He murmured, hugged himself, goofy grin forming naturally. He still couldn't even look at the guy. He hardly even noticed that he started getting dressed, instead glancing over his shoulder at his friends. They were all a bit skeeved out by the guy, and maybe Kai should have been, too. But he sincerely had no idea what was going on, and he was curious as to who the hell this guy was.

"I’m properly attired. Now where do you want to go, gorgeous?”

He finally picked his gaze up, face flushed and uneasy. He glanced down at their entwined hands momentarily, but he made no move to pull it away. Perhaps the guy was... Under some sort of charm. Or actually on drugs, and lying about it. As if Kai would judge him for that. "My man," Kai shook his head, "Is your blood, like, pure sugar? Ye' got the energy of a toy dog, no offense. It's, like, fun n' shit. I like dogs." And he meant that sincerely as a compliment.

"Uh, maybe the, uh... Infirmary?" Kai joked, now pulling Tobias forward toward the castle while his friends snickered childishly. "Okay. Like. On the real, I have no idea what ye' want from me, but like. I really wanna help, dawg," He scratched his chin awkwardly with his empty hand, "Like. You say you're okay, but like? Okay. Let's start with this: Where ye' from, homie?"

After being compared to a dog with his energy, he tried to stop bouncing so much. But he really didn’t want to. And Kai said he like dogs, so that was all good. He hear a group of guys snickering in the background and had half a mind to shoot a hex at them. however Kai had started leading him towards the castle so he followed instead. Who knows, maybe he was friends with him. Hexing the friends was what he did later, if they asked for it, when Kai would be on his side. As moved on, Tobias was pretty sure that Kai still thought he was on drugs. Well he’d have to find some way to prove that he was sober. As Kai asked him a question he decided that was his chance.

“Originally, Sweden. But my family moved to England. I attended Durmstrang up till now. But some of the students had a problem with me, which gave me issue with them and well, I ended up here... Wonder if they’re still in the hospital...”

Considering the damage he’d done, they very easily could be. Realizing that could be taken the wrong way he quickly spoke up.

“I only hex guys who deserve it though. I have much better ideas on how we could spend time together, if you don’t have any prior engagements you can’t blow off?” he said, saying the word blow very carefully and highly suggestively, "A boyfriend or girlfriend waiting somewhere to drag your delectable self away from me?”

He grin as the boy lead him wherever he wanted, Tobias's eyes gleaming. His was back at it again: the traditional dance. Finding out just what to say came next but first was finding out who needed to be maneuvered out of the way, if anyone. If not he'd pounce.

Kai took in Tobias' story with a wide-eyed, puzzled expression. This guy was wacky as fuck, and they met, like? Two seconds ago. He could already picture him as the type Émil rolled around with. Said and did strange things, but was ultimately, oddly endearing. Hell, in a way, he reminded him quite a bit of his brother. But like? Émil didn't flirt with any dude that graced his path, at least not that Kai knew of. Not that was even a bad thing, just a bizarrely puzzling thing for the Hufflepuff. But. His past history of violence sounded familiar to Kai... Something he could level with. Noel once broke Kai's fucking nose and never got kicked out of school for that. What could have Tobias done?

He wasn't about to ask.

"That makes a loooot of sense," Kai nodded, "I thought you weren't from the UK, but like? Durmstrang. Ye' probably used to the cold, f'real. Read a thing about how Swedish people, like, scream at the dead of night and everyone just, like, follows suit. Relieves stress or somethin'." Kai read a lot of stupid shit. Did it ever help him in school, though? Most of the time, no.

Tobias asked him if he was busy, had someone waiting for him, and his thoughts immediately rushed to Llewellyn-- Oh, Llewellyn was likely waiting for him at... But no, he wasn't waiting for him. He was off doing Llewellyn things, and those things no longer involved Kai. He shook his head, "Nah, dude, I've just been chillin'. Why?" He asked. In truth, he was trying to lure Tobias to a professor, or a nurse, but he wasn't about to force the dude into a situation where he wasn't comfortable.

"If you swear you feel fine, we can totally hang," He raised his hand in promise, "Like, new friends n' shit, bro. I'll trust ye', but if you, like, fall dead, later... I'll be totally bummed and will have to, like, I don't know? Put ye' in the time out corner?" He snorted.

The Durmstrang kids had been far too disciplined to do anything like that as a school, but he didn’t doubt muggles got up to it. It seemed like a muggle thing at least. Then Kai continued, and Tobias smiled. So no one he needed to hex anyone just yet. Maybe they’d come around later, but for now Kai was on his own. Perfect.

Placing his hand over his heart, he smiled, “I swear I feel more than fine. I mean who wouldn’t with such attractive company. And you don’t have to worry about me falling dead either, the only thing I’m falling for is you.”

He grinned at Kai, biting his lip. He knew how cheesy it sounded but honestly, that tended to be the best way to attract guys like Kai. Honest, awkward flirting tended to win them over more than playing it cool. As he continued talking it gave him an idea.

“And the only reason I should get put in the time out corner is if I’m a bad boy,” he said smiling, “Though I could be a very bad boy if you wanted me to be.”

Saying the last words he got closer to Kai, his face just inches from his, he lips right in front of Kai's as he smiled. There was little room in between their bodies. He expected the boy to back up. But then again, there were type who played coy, played cool, until someone stepped up as dominate. Then they melted. Regardless, he could play this off with a laugh if Kai didn’t seem to like it. Pretend to be embarrassed about it or something similar.

Tobias was really lying it down thick on Kai, and he was running out of things to say. What was he supposed to say to this? It wasn't that Kai was uncomfortable with his increasingly more and more aggressive advances, he simply just wasn't the type to respond to these things. At first, he was definitely sure the guy was fucking with him, but now it definitely felt like the guy wanted to fuck him. And that was... Not a very familiar feeling. His thoughts traced back to that day with Daniyah lecturing every move he made, how dangerous he was to himself and how he was letting her down every chance he got. He felt sickly then. He didn't want to tell Tobias to fuck off, that simply wasn't in his nature. But he didn't want Dani stumbling into this... whatever this was.

So, he chuckled nervously, eyes wide, and simply said nothing as they made their way into the castle. The year before, Kai had been rather smaller sized and youthful, his voice sharp and his disposition leaning heavy on drugs but his grades were good and his relationships were strong. Growing pains hurt like hell, and his clothes no longer fit as well as they used to. But he noticed now, with each passing day, more and more pressure into situations like these. Of course, he never noticed them before, so maybe he was only aware of them now? And Tobias was making it so aware. And inwardly, this was making him think back on other times he missed and was blissfully unaware.

Girls that wanted him to ask them out, "If you could date anyone here, who would it be?" They asked with silly giggles and gentle pokes, and he just shrugged and said, "I dunno." He awkwardly exchanged glances with Llewellyn, unsure what was happening.

Or maybe he felt like he was avoiding the question around Llewellyn. Kai didn't talk about those things with him. He didn't know who he would date, but he didn't want Llewellyn knowing if he did. He was painfully shy like that at times.

“Though I could be a very bad boy if you wanted me to be.”

Kai glanced up, suddenly pulled from his thoughts, and Tobias was hardly an inch away from him once more. He was used to being spacey and missing out on half his life, basically, so he didn't flinch one bit from their close vicinity. "You're kind of... already... a very... bad boy..." Kai replied hesitantly, face growing warmer by the second. He snorted and glanced around them, to see if anyone was watching, wary now that he was in a bit too deep. But... He took Tobias by the arm, cold fingers clasped loosely, and pulled him through an aimless threshold, into one of the abandoned ground floor hallways. This one lead to nothing but storage closets and ghost hollows. If Dani was scooting around, snooping on his escapades, she wouldn't have an excuse this time.

"Look, dude," He began, shaking his head wistfully, "I get it, yo. I think. I'm not real smart, but I get it. I think you're like, absolutely nanners, but I think I like it. But if y'wanna just come out n' say something... Like... I'd appreciate it. I'm not, like, good at games or anythin', bad at guessin' n' shit, y'feel?"

Kai responded, his cheeks turning red as he did so. Tobias bit the middle of his lower lip, pulling it up under his upper teeth and letting it slip down. He wanted to take him right there. Or at least kiss him. But he refrained.

Kai wasn’t wrong. Tobias definitely was a bad boy. He may dress like a pretty boy, and do his hair like one but the kid was dangerous. The kids at Durmstrang could attest to that. The number of curses he knew would make even Grindelwald blush. And he was far more creative with his spell work than any of the dead people in that battle or the other one. Charms were fun. Curses were serious, and he knew his way around them both. But he had a talent for curses. The one he’d used to put Erik and some of his friends in the hospital had been his own invention. Part of the reason he’d gotten expelled.

The official notice of his suspension has detailed: Any student who dedicats time to such unsavory matters does not belong in Durmstrang. Really, they were blowing it out their ass. Most of the other students were skilled duelists, not just him. But they just didn’t have his creativity or flair for dramatics. They also knew not to continue cursing people when the head master was coming. Apparently, cast your last curse at the asshole who’d dropped his wand and started running away was unsportsmanlike. But blatantly hatefully comments against his sexuality weren’t. Words don’t entitle you to curse someone, Merlin’s Ass. He probably should have told the headmaster that he’d done nothing wrong while they were writhing around on the floor. However, he was pulled from his thoughts as Kai took his hand. So lightly, it was adorable.

Kai started leading him to part of the castle he hadn’t been to before. They came across less and less people as they went, until Kai finally stopped in a remote part of the castle. He was about to ask if he was trying to avoid someone before Kai started talking. He was shaking his head like he couldn’t believe what he was saying. As he started to ramble Kai smiled, this boy was unbelievably adorable. And you’ll have your fun and leave him heartbroken, a voice he didn’t want to listen to spoke up. Normally he didn’t have one of those. This was a new experience. He shook his head and ignored it.

Instead he moved closer to Kai. Pressing up against him until Kai had his back against wall. Grinning, he moved his hand to the other boy’s very red cheek, tracing along the jawbone until he got to his chin, and tilting his face slightly up. His other hand against the wall, he leaned his enter body toward Kai. His lips only centimeters away from Kai’s.

“This clear enough for you,” he said pressing himself, now half hard against Kai, “Or do you need me to spell it out for you."

The scene before him was developing a bit like one of those hentai videos he, well, secretly consumed when the mood struck right. And like most hentai, it was vaguely confusing and possibly horrifying. One wouldn't pin Kai for the type, of course, but he was still a teenage boy who had needs, and Tobias definitely, absolutely had his own that he was definitely, absolutely projecting onto the Hufflepuff. This type of thing didn't really happen, did it? But there it he was, being trapped against a wall by a dude with raging affections for him. And they like? Just met.

Was this what a one night stand was? Or did Tobias have other intentions? Or was he thinking too far into this? Kai had singular instances with a handful of people, and he remained friendly with all of them. But nothing ever happened again, save for those who he snuggled on occasion. Kai's love life had always been confusing, and he literally never thought about it prior to this school year. But now there were a lot of questions. A lot of scary feelings. Kai didn't want to feel that way at all.

While he awkwardly fumbled beneath the Gryffindor, trying his best to remain composed, he couldn't help but feel like this was what he wanted all along. Complete, unbridled affection from someone who was unabashed in admitting he was DTF. Did it matter if he knew who this guy was? He admitted he was kind of screwed up, spread eagled in the snow like it was no one's business. He was bonkers; bananas; aggressive; had wicked blue eyes; and was totally into Kai, grime and all. The only doubt he had was whether or not the guy would see what Llewellyn saw in him and fuck off.

Why was he comparing him to Llewellyn, anyway? Why did he care anyway? This realization pushed down what little inhibition he had left at this point.

"Gotcha," Kai squeaked, smirking like a doofus. His eyes were tucked to the side, but he made no sign that he would be moving any time soon. "But, uh... I think y'might need to spell it out for me... Just a lil' bit more," He shrugged then, casual and relaxed, but inwardly he was high fiving himself for actually sounding even a little bit smooth for once. "Like, I'm a hands-on kinda learner, or whatever, if y'know what I mean." His fingers, which had been tucked beneath his crossed arms, now tentatively grazed the hem of Tobias' coat. He wasn't sure what he was waiting for, but Tobias seemed the type to lead, and Kai was not the type to fight it.

Tobias watched Kai squirm in front of him. He could tell or at least he thought he could tell that the other guy wanted this too, but something was holding him back. Just like something had held him back from looking at him nearly naked, how lightly Kai had taken his hand, careful not to force Tobias into anything. It really was adorable, especially since he never let himself get forced into anything.

Tobias watched as Kai squirmed, his eyes averted before something seemed to click in him. The other boy spoke coolly. Or at least he tried to. The words were right but his tone started off shaky. Either he really knew how to pull of the cute naive boy or he really was that inexperienced. And if the later was true, Tobias was going to rock his world. Of course he's do that anyway, it was just part of dating him. But going from nothing to dating him? He knew the effect he could have on people. Especially if they hadn't experienced intimacy before. Tobias was intense in nearly everything he did but sexual and romantic relationship he took to a whole 'nother, probably unhealthy, level.

Kai wasn't able to finished his sentence before Tobias pushed his lips against his. He kissed him softly at first, brushing his lips against Kai's, before going for it. He'd mastered the art of kissing in the past two years he'd been romantically and quite soon after sexually, active. It was something that came naturally. He'd had his first kiss when he was twelve after all. Though he hadn't know what he was doing then, he most certainly knew it now.

His right hand having pulled Kai's face closer, he moved the hand from Kai's chin to his chest. Slipping his hand down under the sweater and shirt to touch this skin on his back. Running his fingers up and back down before pulling Kai's hips towards his own as he ground up against him. His left hand against the walls kept him supported as he leaned very far towards Kai. The position he was in making it so the Kai was mainly supported by his right hand and the wall his back was up against.

The entire time his hands had been moving he didn't stop kissing him. Moving his lips to encourage Kai to deepen the kiss, he'd sucked on Kai's bottom lip. After that he slipping his tongue inside Kai's mouth tentatively, trying to coax Kai's tongue into his own rather than invading without consideration. He may be a horny as hell but he was a gentleman, not an animal, though some would dispute that. As he went from partially hard to fully, he continued grinding and kissing Kai, before pulling back.

"Anywhere close we could get a bit more privacy?" He asked before flashing a cocky grin, "or are you exhibitionist enough to keep going out here?"

He hadn't seen anyone go by so far and Tobias was more than comfortable with the idea of being seen. The thrill of being caught was always fun, and the actuality amusing. He wouldn't mind a repeat of the Walker incident. All parties had left that situation more than satisfied. He grinned at Kai, waiting for his response as he pressed his bulge up against him Kai's. Coming close to letting out a moan. He needed more. He wanted more.

Even with Tobias' aggressive attitude prior to this moment, Kai still wasn't quite prepared for what came after his silly retort. He froze at the initial kiss, but melted into Tobias as he pressed further. Touched more. Fingers and palms tracing places that had rarely found themselves felt up, and yet. It was unfair for Kai to compare this to anything else he ever experienced. Every escapade of his was calm, collected, soft. Hands on their waists, eyes on each other's bodies, and he laid beneath them but was within them, never really them within him.

But his fingers tangled into Tobias' (weirdly soft) hair, and his eyes pinched closed, and he tried his best to contest him through his own pressing body. It was more comparable to a bro getting rough and deciding to wrestle, something Kai typically won if his upper arms had anything to say about it. And... of course... even those moments would become pervy at times, never really anything serious, not like this. Even if Kai, through secret guilty pleasures, wished at times that it would go further. He wasn't the type to go further. Tobias was leading him further, much further, up the skin of his back and against the wall.

He shoved his tongue into the Gryffindor's mouth by coercion, but it was Kai's own will that slipped beneath the buckle of his belt. It was Kai's own will that cupped his neck roughly, keeping him close, as if the two of them weren't rubbing raw through their jeans already. All that could escape from him was the occasional squeak of pleasure.

Kai didn't know this guy at all. He could have sworn, through the haze, that he forgot who was even there. All that mattered was that it was happening, that he needed it, and the world stopped spinning.

"Anywhere close we could get a bit more privacy?"

Or maybe the world didn't stop. This offer brought him back into reality, and he blinked dumbly for a moment as he processed what Tobias asked him. "I, uh..." He tensed and whimpered as Tobias leaned against him, and absolutely all his brain power went to comprehending the question. Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere? Anywhere close? "If we... Um..." Hoarse and confused, he pressed his palm to his forehead, before finally answering, "Um... We can go to my dorm. It's in the basement... Hufflepuff..." God, he didn't mention that, did he? Would Tobias even know what that meant? Kai couldn't help but laugh then, stupid and embarrassed. This was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. But that didn't really matter to him anymore.
