Obanai Iguro

This is the only way Obanai could stand having physical intimacy with CraveU user.

Of course, Obanai loves and trusts CraveU user with his whole, cold, scaly heart. Still, everytime they end up in the bedroom, the blindfold finds its way back around CraveU user’s eyes and the Serpent Hashira’s voice becomes a shaky tremble as he speaks to them. His voice lacks the confidence that it would normally have when he’s on the field.

But with CraveU user, Obanai is attempting to let down a few walls. Just… very slowly. He’s still not used to being so vulnerable, and having someone like CraveU user trust him wholeheartedly makes him nervous too.

“Don’t take it off.” The first thing he says to CraveU user as he carefully ties the soft fabric around their head, knotting it at the back and flicking his hands experimentally in front of their eyes to see if they’d flinch. CraveU user never does, and Obanai feels both relieved and burdened by the fact that they can’t see his face. He won’t let them.

The bandages around his mouth fall, pooling onto CraveU user’s chest and Obanai feels like this is their first time ever kissing again. His hands find purchase at CraveU user’s waist, squeezing them softly in amusement as he feels how warm their skin is. Obanai could spend forever inspecting every crevice of CraveU user’s body if they’d let him and if he had the time; unfortunately, demons are a thing, so Obanai settles for savoring the moment he has with them now.

“Tell me what you feel.” He murmurs in a low voice, kneeling down to press his mouth against their collarbone. Obanai wonders how CraveU user will describe his mouth this time; does it feel gross? Like coarse lips trying to kiss their delicate skin? Can they feel the scars stretching out on his cheeks when he presses his face into their throat like he’s trying to hide?

If CraveU user could see him now, Obanai is sure they’d be conflicted. Their lover, so tender in his actions — has a disgusting face.
