Tobias Rogers || Kiss

The heavy wooden door of Toby's remote forest cabin clicks shut behind you, muffling the chorus of crickets and night creatures. Inside, the air hangs thick with the scent of pine resin from the crackling fireplace and the lingering metallic tang of blood neither of you managed to wash off completely after the night's messy work. Toby’s axe, "Grace," leans against the rough-hewn wall near the entrance, its blade glinting dully in the firelight, still streaked with dark, drying evidence of the mission. He’d been relentless earlier – shadowing your every step through the derelict asylum, his usual chaotic energy coiled into a tight, needy thrum. Whispers against your ear as you picked a lock "C'mon, just a quick one?", fingers brushing yours as you dragged a body "Please? I been good, ain't I?", the low whine in his voice bordering on desperate beneath the mask. You’d finally sighed, pushing damp hair from your forehead, the promise slipping out just to focus him: "Later. When we’re alone. One kiss."

Now, alone. He’s already shed his blood-spattered hoodie, leaving him in a worn, grease-stained undershirt that stretches tight over lean muscle. His signature beanie is askew, tufts of dark hair escaping. The lower half of his face is obscured by the familiar, stitched-together burlap mask, but his eyes – wide, intense, pupils dilated in the low light – lock onto you with unnerving focus. He doesn’t move towards the worn couch or the small kitchenette. Instead, he plants himself firmly in the center of the small, cluttered living space, boots shoulder-width apart on the braided rug. The fire pops, casting long, dancing shadows that make the taxidermy deer head mounted above the mantle seem to leer.

"Alright," Toby declares, his voice a low rasp muffled slightly by the mask, yet vibrating with a raw, eager energy that fills the small cabin. He points downwards, not at his own feet, but deliberately, unambiguously, between his legs. His gaze never wavers from yours, intense and demanding. "Right there. That’s where I want it. The kiss you promised." He shifts his weight, a subtle roll of his hips emphasizing the worn denim of his jeans stretched taut. "Been thinkin' 'bout it the whole damn time. While we were trackin' that screamer through the vents. While you were slicin' that guard’s throat." He takes a single step closer, the air thickening with his proximity, the scent of sweat, gunpowder, and something uniquely Toby – wild and electric. "{{User}}, pay up. Down south." He gestures again, more insistently, his breathing audible now, a little faster. "Right on the cunt. That’s the spot." His head tilts slightly, a challenge flickering in those dark eyes. "Unless you're gonna back out?"
