Pembe had had a series of unfortunate happenstances - that had ended up with him rather... homeless, and then taken in by a rather overlarge man. ... While there were several problems Pem could have really had with this arrangement, he'd done his best to take it all in stride. He was used to sudden change - it was how he'd lived his life up 'til now... though he'd hardly interacted with the other man other than polite introductions and a bit of idle chatter after convincing him that him staying there was better than a shelter. It'd only been a day or two since he'd... "moved in" (which was such a stretch of the phrase, considering the most he'd done was bring his clothes, camera, a small box of particularly random junk, and his cat... Assuming Potemkin had no problem with animals, of course. Gren was a fearless little scottish fold, as it were. As irresponsible as he felt moving around so much with a cat in tow, Gren seemed to bear it just fine. Pem generally didn't have much more than that to his name - he'd yet to actually find a job he could settle at, and freelancing had only encouraged his already natural drifter tendencies.)
Of course, Potemkin had... tried to get him to go to a shelter first, but as the cards had laid, it wasn't a particularly good option for Pembe. While he'd considered it, shelters were, for one thing, not a good place for cats (and in spite of it all, he was damn attached to his cat), and two, he was definitely not a fan. It'd taken a bit of convincing; Pembe had had to emphasize that while his things were meager, they were still expensive, and he was willing to assist as a housemate however he could in exchange for a place to stay where he wouldn't have to worry about having someone steal his camera... but he thought it'd gone well, considering that Potemkin had let him stay.
Though he'd promised to assist however he could with Potemkin's daily life... he did feel particularly useless at the moment. His current situation had him on a couch, with Gren bedding in the (now emptied, though it still hadn't had much) aforementioned box of junk. So, instead of giving in to the impulse to continue being useless, Pembe opted to take another option: start trying to do as he promised earlier. Potemkin would soon find himself hunted down by the big ball of pink that was Pembe - hair dye, glasses, and shirt making him... very pink. Pembe was large by most's standards, considering his height of 6'3", but Potemkin sort of outstripped him by leaps and bounds. It was a strange feeling - he rarely had to look up at people. But if he was going to room with Potemkin for long - which he was sort of hoping, given the area was fairly ideal - he'd have to get over it.
"Hey!" He greeted, throwing up a hand in a sort of wave when he caught Potemkin's attention. "I... uh, I was thinking I should get started on that whole business I offered earlier. Chores and all." He suppressed the urge to say he'd felt like a useless lump just because he hadn't started immediately, "You got laundry or... y'know, something I could help out with?" His smile was awkward - living in a house with someone you barely new was always destined to be awkward - but Pembe... was hoping he could at least get to know him, anyway.
Lord only knew if Potemkin's living style was clean and tidy or an utter mess... Judging from the man's bearing, Pem could've bet on either or.

He decided the best way to deal with this was to lean back, and try and say something, anything, but the look on Potemkin's face made his mouth go dry. He had expected... well, he didn't know what he'd expected, but the genuine concern on his face was... touching wasn't the right word. But it was all he could really think to apply. His brain told him to be reassuring to the extreme, but the wires crossed because he'd really expected less; he processed that Potemkin was afraid for him, and that suddenly meant a lot.
The fear was heightening his emotions, and some part of him knew that, but the rest of him hadn't gotten the memo. His expression - previously somewhere between stunned and fearful - twisted up, just a bit as the sudden surge of affection overwhelmed him. If he were actually using his brain, he'd have hesitated, but he wasn't, so he pushed himself up onto his toes - arms reaching up and grabbing Potemkin's shoulders as he pressed his lips to Potemkin's. The emotions boiling up in him had no better outlet, and so he let them out the only way he could - in the way he'd wanted to for a long, long time.
Even considering the motivation behind it started with fear, the kiss was still... quite clear about Pembe's feelings. Affection, lust, and honest to god thankfulness that he'd met Potemkin all came into it, from how he touched Potemkin's shoulders to how he held them as he held himself up. It was actually a stretch to manage, not that Pembe minded. If he was being honest with himself, it was actually appealing. While Pembe often gave comfort, he rarely got comforted; the man hardly cared for himself the way he ought to, and Potemkin's presence alone was its own sort of comfort.
He wasn't sure how to break the kiss, and he let it stretch as long as Potemkin allowed it to. The emotional release of the kiss had been its own electric shock to the part of him that actually thought about things, and he looked adorably sheepish - red to his ears - as he pulled back, looking up at Potemkin sheepishly. Whether the bigger man kissed back or not - his mind was racing to try and catch up. From the look on his face, he was going to need a moment.
Still, he managed to say something: "Uh..." He sounded unsure and searching, but he'd just properly distracted himself out of being afraid.
So there was that, at least.

So he's surprised to receive an answer that's entirely nonverbal and physical. It's a hard one to decipher, since he's never been...kissed before. It feels nice, between the softness of Pembe's lips felt on his, the caress across his shoulder (it was so rare for his body to be treated this way, like an object of tenderness), and the emotional release of having a want delivered, a want which he never thought of before but seemed so solid to him now. Potemkin's cheeks warmed up under Pembe's face even during the relatively brief period of the kiss, because apparently his body knew more on how to react than his mind did.
Potemkin mostly just reacted, and only the bare minimum of a reaction, purely as a result of how long he stayed stunned. It's over just as it really registered to him what was going on, and the next thing he knew Pembe was standing in front of him, blushing and shifting on the spot. Potemkin couldn't bear seeing Pembe get crushed by that awkwardness. He pulled him from it with his hands, this time lifting him up, up to his level for a second kiss. And this time he's the one pushing, with his square jaw and thick lips going over both of Pembe's.
no subject
Pembe was used to being Big, and even though he was used to Potemkin's size, he wasn't used to being the object moved by his strength. He felt like a feather, being lifted as he was, and he melted again, arms wrapping around Potemkin's neck as he was kissed. His legs straddled the huge man before him, trying to let Potemkin pull him in as much as the larger man liked as he leaned into the kiss as well, his initial awkwardness melting into passion.
He wasn't sure when to break the kiss - nor did he really want to - and the sheer relief and pleasing shock to the nerves that told him Potemkin was reciprocating was enough to keep him going for hours on its own. He let Potemkin figure out when he was going to break the kiss, and focused on enjoying the ride.
no subject
He didn't have an idea of when to end the kiss either, but eventually he dropped off, and turned his head into the bowl of his reaching arms. His intense eyes looked up (up, for once, since Pembe is now lifted in his hands and his head above Potemkin's), feeling reminiscent of a begging puppy.
"I don't know how long I've felt this way."
sorry for the wait; school started!
"I guess that makes one of us," Pembe admitted, breathlessly: "I liked you the moment I met you, and it's only gotten worse." He looked perhaps a bit embarrassed, considering he'd just admitted it in a swift burst, but he couldn't manage his feelings right now - they were everywhere.
Pembe wasn't sure what to say after that, and moved his warm hands to rest on Potemkin's neck, tempted to touch the man's cheek and refraining to see how Potemkin responded.
It's nothing!
Potemkin dropped his gaze from Pembe to mull on that for a moment.
"I feel foolish now, to have been blind to something right in front of me..."
;w; thank (i'll try and be faster anyway)
He shook his head a bit, attempting to be playful: "I'd probably have fessed up sooner, if I knew you felt the same way, though. You're hard to read, Potemkin!" He didn't sound actually disgruntled - rather, he actually sounded affectionate. He squeezed his arms just a tick - "It's... it's really cute."
And he meant that - the times Potemkin was hard to read, in hindsight, were really pretty cute. Potemkin as a whole was pretty cute. (Given, Potemkin had probably never been called cute in his life, but Pembe was likely going to change this fact very quickly.)
no subject
He closed his eyes and gave a small tilt of his head. "Cute? I wonder what else you thought of me as," Potemkin said as he started to take steps while still carrying Pembe. Having a long chat in the middle of the living room wasn't going to do.
no subject
"But... I mean, I think there's a bit too much to just list. Handsome, intelligent, dedicated..." He chuckled, patting Potemkin's shoulders to emphasize his next one on the list - "Strong." He sounded quite impressed about that one. It was a scary (but wonderful) experience, to be carried like this.
no subject
Of course, there's a difference and a step between thinking someone is great and making out with them a few times in a row.
no subject
"I mean... there's a difference between good friends... and wanting to date someone. And be intimate. And all." He shrugged, trying to avoid awkwardness (and failing miserably). "Given, we're both apparently bad at reading each other, on that one."
no subject
So did bringing up intimacy. Even now the idea made him flustered, and caused him to question himself. "I...really didn't know myself, just until now, what I wanted. It's probably impossible to read what's unknown to the thinker," Potemkin said. Potemkin tentatively reached out with his massive fingers to behind Pembe's back, like both a gesture of longing and to tuck him to bed.
no subject
Pembe leaned into the touches some, sighing gently. "If... it's not too sudden, Potemkin," He started, gently, "Can I sleep with you tonight?" He'd felt his gut churn when it seemed like Potemkin was trying to tuck him in; the idea of being separated from the bigger man felt like a pound of bricks weighing against his heart. It wasn't that he was clingy in his affection - anything but - but he hadn't forgotten what had chased him into Potemkin's arms to begin with, and even the wonderful revelation wouldn't help him manage sleeping alone...
... And Potemkin was right there, and he had admitted his affection...
no subject
"Uh, of course!" Potemkin's initial awkward response correcting into eagerness. Potemkin wasn't stammering because he didn't like the idea - in fact he found it amazing, to the point it was hard to believe this was happening. But that's also the reason why it shook him. It's such a new idea for him, it's hard to consider.
There's no point in staying still though. Potemkin stepped away from the couch, and motioned toward the hallway leading to his bedroom.
no subject
He'd marvelled at the fact Potemkin had a bed that fit him back when he first moved in - though now, admittedly, he was quite excited to share it with the far larger man. Even as he thought that, however, a gentle and awkward thought came to him - and he saved it until they were in the room, but...
"How... erm, how do you usually sleep? Like, clothingwise," He bumbled, looking up at Potemkin with a slightly concerned expression. "I... well, you can probably tell I don't mind whatever you like! I just would hate to be overdressed. O-or underdressed, I mean."
Honestly, Pembe would have assumed Potemkin slept in the nude, and as much as that sounded appealing to him - it might've been a bit much for the both of them. ... Even though every bone in his body ached to insist on it. He wanted to explore Potemkin and mentally map every inch of him - he gently beat back his own thirst. He could resist temptation, if Potemkin was shy!
He hoped, anyway...
no subject
He already was walking over to the dresser and undressing from his shirt and pants. He only gave a small head toss back in Pembe's direction to say "You can dress whichever way you want."
why must tests come and disrupt the gays
"I'll just match you," Pembe offered, chuckling awkwardly as he quickly set himself to stripping. To his credit, he was wearing actually nice underwear - some pastel pink boxer briefs - though he clearly looked a bit shy about his own body, compared to the massive titan that Potemkin was.
He settled on a corner of the bed, waiting for Potemkin and trying to contain himself (and hoped his forming erection wasn't terribly easy to notice, in spite of the skintight fabric.)
Muscle gays
As soon as he was on the bed however Potemkin truly relaxed, his shoulders dropping and muscles being allowed to move with just the ebb of his breathing. He probably never looked more soft and pillow-like than he did now, even if what was mostly facing Pembe were his bulky arms. It was partly because he was to his side that Potemkin didn't go out of his way to analyze Pembe closely. He already saw Pembe like this before, after all, on laundry day. His eyes continued to be drawn away from Pembe when Potemkin reached to the foot of the bed to pull up a blanket.
"Good night, Pembe."
best gays
So when Potemkin went to grab the blanket, Pembe scooted in some - gently pushing himself into the space between where Potemkin's arms rested - and tried to wrap his arms fully around Potemkin's mass. (He failed, but he tried.) "Good night," He mumbled, trying to play off his move some - they'd just made out. Clearly a bit of... half-naked hug cuddling wasn't out of the question. Clearly. Hopefully Potemkin wasn't about to notice anything pressing into his abdominals.

school's rude as fuck, but i think i have time now!! sorry for the wait
He'd wanted to do quite a few things to them before, and his - ahem, anatomy eagerly pressed against the abs he was up against. He did his best to pretend it didn't exist, even as he pressed his face some into those pecs and let out just a little sigh of contentment. He could feel the way the man threw his head back, and he let out a little chuckle. Potemkin being vaguely cute was a good distraction. He gently nuzzled into where his face was and planted a tiny kiss there, emboldened more than a little bit by Potemkin's apparent happiness to have him there.
no subject
He could have easily fell asleep doing this, but he made a final squirm against the mattress, and with his eyes closed he asked innocently "Am I bumping into you?"
no subject
At Potemkin's question, however, he tilted his head up some - breath passing between the cleft of Potemkin's pecs in a way that could probably tickle as he let out a (slightly muffled) "Mmm?"
He was kind of curious what Potemkin meant, though he resisted a little snarky comment to settle on his sleepy half-rumble. He was sort of pressed thoroughly against the other man, so they were definitely bumping up, and he liked it that way, is what he'd been tempted to say. The only thing that held him back was a worry it'd be too flirty - he didn't want to push too hard.
Even though his endowment was doing quite a bit of that.
no subject
He flushed. Spent a few moments speechless. Probably brainless too, since Potemkin had no clue what was right to think. But whatever he could have done, he didn't feel it was right to ignore it, not after Pembe had already confessed to being attracted to him. After that period of total silence he tentatively spoke up.
"Do you need help with that?"
no subject
He looked up at Potemkin, trying to not look as embarrassed and awkward as he felt. "N-no, I'm good!" He offered, though he didn't really sound like he meant it. The idea of getting help with that had already wired down to his second head, and if anything, it looked like his bulge had only thickened.
"I mean, I wouldn't wanna... ask y' to do anything uncomfortable, or anything," He offered, lamely, trying to say something less flimsily obvious he would, in fact, like assistance. "I mean, we just figured this out, and all, and..."
Man, this was sounding even weaker than his last attempt. He petered off into embarrassed silence, firmly focusing on Potemkin's pecs rather than his face. Or his crotch.
