Arata was pinned beneath Takumi, they carefully brushed against his Eater hand causing a shiver to go through his whole body. He didn't really feel like hurting Takumi despite his normal moral compass being nearly non-existent he was still someone Arata cared about. "Arata..." Arata could have sworn from how sad that voice sounded. He didn't or rather couldn't look Takumi in the face and Takumi didn't seem to mind as they seemed to know about his currently frayed mind.
Arata faintly felt Takumi shift and they hugged close to him as their lips went to Arata's neck. Arata shuddered with his eyes glazed over. He used his human hand to grip carefully on Takumi's shirt while he shifted his Eater hand further away with a whine. Takumi would not let him though and he halted the movement while lightly sucking and biting at his pulse which shot a low and breathy moan.
Arata almost became lost in the slight movements until he felt that hand carefully brushing against his Eater arm again... this time though it slipped lower to the back of his hand and he tensed up in alarm. He tried to push Takumi off using his human hand but they pinned Arata's arm and fear shot through Arata. "I won't let you hurt me... just relax Arata..." He jolted when Takumi kissed at his shoulder which held the Eater arm. "I wish I knew how to bolster your confidence in yourself..." He shifted in Arata's lap again before pulling the Eater arm closer and looking Arata straight in the eyes as he kissed that Eater arm. "I worry about your mind fraying further..." He licked the back of Arata's hand, carefully to avoid the immediate danger of it activating and absorbing him. He didn't want to break Arata by dying as it was clear to Takumi that he cared... maybe a bit too deeply. He also knew that Arata was suffering due in part to his decision to fuse with said Eater.
The light in Arata's eyes had been dying recently more and more and the light in them was almost depleted. Takumi only wonders now how best to help the one he had an undying crush on. "I only wish that nobody had pushed you after what you had experienced..." Then Takumi moved from the Eater arm and kissed Arata directly. This caused a jolt and then a whine as the human arm grip had tightened over Takumi's shirt while the beginnings of tears began to streak down cheeks. "I only hope that after everything you can get what you truly desire..." The kiss was deepened and Takumi's tongue plunged into Arata's mouth. Usually he would put up a fight but his mind was working overtime to process the depths of this affection that he was slowly becoming unfamiliar with the more data Arata absorbed from both Digimon and sadly people. "After that, maybe we can both take a rest so I can see the smile reach your eyes again..."
The comfort he was receiving he was no longer trying to fight and Takumi backed away momentarily before putting one hand behind Arata's head and letting him lean forward of his own free will. Arata couldn't truly control his wild emotions anymore and his tears dried up almost like something was blocking a dam. Instead, Arata began moving his human arm underneath Takumi's shirt from the back so he could feel more skin-to-skin contact. Arata sighed in a strange serenity and Takumi made no movement to prevent him. He leaned forward if anything to allow Arata better access. This lasted a few moments before Takumi made a certain movement and pulled his shirt off entirely then leaned against Arata who felt a strange faintness as if the normal show of a blush was being fought by that traitorous Eater arm and so instead he whined. Takumi softly rubbed at his neck. "Do you want to take your own shirt off so you can get more skin contact...? I know you want it because it's written all over your face, but I have to ask if you think you can handle it right now." Arata almost too quickly nodded but made no movement to pull it off so Takumi did for him starting with the human arm and it slipping off the Eater arm. Takumi then pressed his chest and stomach against Arata as the motion seemed to calm and ground him.
Takumi began humming softly as his own hands roamed Arata who was shivering with his moans growing over time. He felt sluggish and while this would normally turn him on, it seemed that the Eater had taken even that from him which made him frustrated. "How...can...you...still...care..." The sound seemed distant and choked. Takumi's humming stopped before he leaned back and forced Arata to look at him. "I may not be able to prevent the Eater side from consuming some of you, but I won't let what IS left be neglected... as much as I can anyway. I can't force you to eat and I can't force you to sleep like you should currently... but I sure as hell won't let that last little bit go without resistance. If it ever gets too much... maybe I can get everything back if I don't neglect you now. This has nothing to do with saving you as much as it does making you comfortable with your own existence. I know things have been hard on you and for you... I can't hope to take that away or understand it to the full extent. Maybe though... after all of this... maybe we can go on a date or two and get to know each other better so nothing gets so out of reach again. That is all I can hope for without taking a choice from you. I don't wish to take any choices from you."
Arata huffed in his old overly familiar fashion. "Maybe you should have taken this choice from me... that way I could use both hands and hold you... I'm angry at myself for letting you slip away even as you supported me. I'm angry that the emotions of others now cloud mine." He grumbled for a moment before sighing back into the contact again. "I would love to get to know you if I am still here after all of this is over even deeper. Maybe we can both play games or read comics like you told me when we met at that forum in EDEN... even if you were only there originally to figure out a case from HER... even if I'm corrupted further by the EATER maybe we can one day do those things and I can listen to that music playlist you were talking about when you were disgusted at Jimmy Ken telling them how their music made you feel like shit and how music should really make you feel... it was nice you stood up to him even if he was just being used... just like I am even now by Suedou..." His breath hitched as Takumi got a grip on his hair and leaned his head back as he began to kiss his neck down again. Arata didn't realize how much he would like that as the moan was slightly louder this time than the others. Arata also noticed that Takumi was hard but was purposefully not paying attention to it as this really wasn't the time even if Arata would have let him do just about anything in this state he was in.
Takumi kept doing exactly what Arata wanted for a little while longer before a ping caught both of their attentions and a strange sound escaped him. It was almost a growl and he certainly looked angry at being interrupted and without the skin-on-skin contact his nerves were coming back to him. Takumi sighed and fished the digivice out and read. His expression shifted into a frown and then a sigh. He pocketed the device and looked to Arata with regret in his eyes. "Let's get our shirts back on... it seems another Digital Shift has started and its in a location with a LOT of victims. There are already several human Eaters there and the situation is getting out of control." Arata growled again and put his shirt back on alongside his coat as Takumi put their own back on. Takumi was willing his body to calm down so he didn't walk with such an obvious boner in public. Arata snarled almost as his human hand gripped onto his Eater one. "I'm coming with you. I WILL defeat those EATERS. Then we WILL meet again somewhere we WONT be disturbed." His tone was almost commanding and blank but Takumi understood and nodded. "I will need your help anyway... the others aren't near it while we are. Let's go." Arata shuffled out with Takumi so they could deal with the Eaters and shut the Digital Shift down.
When they had finished, Arata with his human hand gripped onto the shoulder of Takumi and his expression was flickering between pained and manic. Takumi fished their Digivice out and texted their 'boss' about them getting rid of the shift but that they had to do something right this moment. They put their digivice on silent and didn't bother answering anything else as Arata guided them to another alleyway and then began to settle back down as Arata and Takumi took their tops off once again and the skin-on-skin contact seemed to recede his pain away again and the overwhelming anger in his mind from the Eater dulled again to a small presence... he could tell though that the presence had yet again grown anyway... he smothered his mind down so he could disassociate for a bit longer before he would inevitably have to pull away again... the light was almost gone and he felt in his mind that if he absorbed more data again that he wouldn't be able to be calmed even by this. He would have to again anyway, he knew, so he was determined to enjoy this thin peace for as long as he could. He didn't know if he would be able to see them again while sane so he relaxed and took whatever he could now. He only hoped that Takumi understood and could do the same.
