"Maybe?" It's not as far from the truth as he would like it to be, but if it were true, he wouldn't be grinning, probably.
There's no sudden yanking or scratching, despite the teasing. He continues at the same pace as before, slow and somewhat nervous about it, fingertips following the curve of muscle and bone as he pushes Jade's shirt up high enough to reach his ribcage. He drives his hands beneath the fabric, higher, lower, and for the first time, lingers there to do nothing but stroke the hot skin. A hard chest -- where he normally would use nails, it's only the palm of his hand. His gaze drops to Jade's mouth and a brief moment passes where he only stares. Then Shinjirou steals another kiss, shallow, open-mouthed, his hands making a mess of the already crumpled shirt.
"Maybe I'm just waiting for you to get the hint and raise your arms so I can get you out of that?" He doesn't want to be shy, that's for sure, but he can pretend all day, it just isn't a normal situation. For more reasons than he can count and he wants to think of none of them at the moment. They aren't two curious boys at a sleepover pulling each other off in the heat of the moment. But he's never had that and this may just be the only chance to make up for missing out.
So pretend it isn't so, it is. At least there's a pleasant way to shut his own mouth, with the help of Jade's.
