The heat under his palms makes him smile. It doesn't show on Auron's face, but something in him shifted the moment he spoke his name and cradled his cheeks like this. Even someone rough-edged like Auron can appreciate being handled with such affection. Tidus smiles against his parted mouth and sighs his name again, just as softly as before.

"Mmm..."

It's affirmative and lazy, the way he hums his response back. Auron probably already knows, but Tidus is more than happy to confirm things for him. His breath stutters, mentally following the hands up his thighs so he can lift his hips up when Auron tugs down his shorts, leaving a gap between them so his clothing is more cooperative. He grins, looking down between them at his bared thighs and the large hands still resting on them, weighty and firm.

"Why am I the only one near naked, huh? You shy?"

His bright, blue eyes flash with mischief as he settles his hips back down and tips his head to accept the mouth on his neck. His weight jerks forward as he dips his hips and rolls them up against Auron's lap, groaning quietly before quivering with a short bout of airy laughter.

"Where do you think your hands are going, huh? Don't you know, if you're going to touch me there, you should squeeze a little?"
