Kotetsu brushes aside Barnaby's uncertainty with a palm smoothed over the line of Barnaby's jaw, warm and tender, and leading into another kiss. This time, it's a slow one, not letting Barnaby take the reins and rush. Kotetsu traces along the curve of Barnaby's lower lip with his teeth, groaning as he pushes himself further in the circle of Barnaby's palm, pulling a clumsy breath after.

"In this area, you should only be doing what you want to do. If you weren't going to have fun on your own, then you shouldn't have been forcing yourself to try. It's okay," Kotetsu reassures, slightly breathless as he lowers his forehead to rest against Barnaby's. "But we need to prepare you for... that. Your body needs to be relaxed and ready to receive me. I want you to enjoy this." Kotetsu purses his lips, tilting his head just enough to deliver another peck. "I don't want to hurt you in the process."

With a faint touch, Kotetsu trails his fingertips down along the side of Barnaby's neck, down over the smooth planes of his stomach, before teasing lightly against the coarse hair below Barnaby's navel. "Properly preparing could take hours."
