Once in a while, you meet someone that you haven't seen in a long time. Or perhaps that was only what it felt like to Tejirof, who tried not to put too heavy a weight on the bonds that he formed. He was a mercenary after all, and usually didn't stay for long in one place unless he was hired by long-term contract.

So when he one day arrived in a Decoran port, he wasn't entirely as surprised as he probably should be to find Vaiz taking a nap in a sunny spot by the docks. Tejirof crouched in front of the other man, and flicked him on the forehead. Vaiz tiredly blinked up at him, recognition appearing on his face. "Oh. Hi."

Tejirof huffed in amusement. "That is all you say after such a long time?" he asked as he watched Vaiz stretching. He was reminded of a cat, and it probably was an accurate enough comparison, when he took the man's personality into consideration. Vaiz peered at him from beneath heavy eyelids, and caught one of Tejirof's wrists with one of his hands. It was a bit surprising for him to do that so suddenly, but Tejirof still pulled him to his feet with ease. "What are you doing here?" he asked the man, who looked like he was close to falling asleep once again. Vaiz took his time to reply, but when he did, Tejirof didn't get the answer he wanted. "I wonder why...."

Tejirof was about to let go, but his eyes widened when he suddenly found Vaiz's lips against his, and his hands flew up to grab at his shoulders. To push him away so he could ask what was going on, but they only reached the other man's upper arms, and he grasped his limbs just above the elbows. He could feel Vaiz's muscles move under his skin, and that's really soft skin.... He let the lips against his linger for a few moments, to see if he could figure out why the other is kissing him from the way that it felt.

Vaiz's kiss was firm, determined, and possessive.

It made Tejirof even more confused, to be honest, and he didn't realize that he let the kiss go on longer than he intended until he felt a tongue that was not his in his mouth, and it was pure instinct that he pressed his own against it, grip tightening on Vaiz's arms. When Vaiz sucked on his tongue, a moan was startled out of him, and he finally managed to pull out of it with a stagger backwards.

Now, it wasn't like he had never kissed a man before, but he had not really been kissed by any, not like that. It made his cheeks flush, no matter how used he was to fooling around. "Why did you do that?"

Vaiz just watched him, then shrugged with one shoulder. "No reason." Tejirof was not convinced, and gave him a look full of doubt, even as he tried to subdue the color on his face. Surprisingly, it was all the prompting that Vaiz needed to add a few words. "A lot of reasons." Another silence. "I'm not sure." He looked pretty sure, but that was apparently it. Because he stepped back, and before Tejirof knew it, he had left, leaving the confused mercenary in the dust. The confused mercenary who licked his lips at the tingling sensation in them.

He decided that the next time that he saw Vaiz, he was going to find out what exactly that was about.
