[It seems like the elemental proclivities aren't the only thing that's in play here, either. For someone who has Goku in his heart, Dave's the one that's repping the monkey see, monkey do aesthetic pretty damn well. And if he has sucked the wind right out of his boyfriend, then what's supposed to come for Ryuji is basically being dumped straight onto his ass, which, okay, that's exactly what's happening here.
Except the part where Ryuji is actually standing pretty well on his own two feet here.
God, the lengths he would go to just to see that sort of smile out of him more often. It's like a well timed strike right into his heart, dagger twisting and everything, and it's not exactly the worst way to go. It's the same sort of thing that Ryuji would absolutely go down trying to protect, but that's not here nor there, and all bets are off when there's movement to the back of his head. Not fair at all. He's so hungry for affection that it causes his head to lean into it instinctively. Good for Dave, since he's going for it in return.
It's one thing to finally get the bravery required to kiss his boyfriend. But to be on the receiving end of it in return, to see that not only was it completely worth it, but reflected at him. It's not like he ever thought Dave didn't feel the same way towards him as he did towards Dave. That much was so abundantly clear in everything that he did; he constantly felt valued, wanted, and safe around him. It just takes a little bit for Ryuji to have certain things drilled home towards him, and the physical affection of the moment makes him feel all of that just at once. It's just... so good.
He closes his eyes. How in the world he ever found himself on a space station, billions of light years away from home, in the arms of a guy who had an entire road map to the stars on his shoulders. He'll never know, really. But shit, if he wasn't blessed for it.
Still, though, it's a lot of emotions for an emotional boy, and not a lot of experience to back that up. He feels his chest tighten and his knees lock, and, shit, he really wants to just. Do the thing where you leave your boyfriend ding dong dead standing up, so he'll push back into Dave, brain chemicals all lit up by the moment, and pull his face closer, even if it's not going to close any significant additional distance between them. But with just enough of a pressing motion forward, he'll part his lips, and kick the can straight out from the back alley right out onto the highway. Probably too forward, but Ryuji's never done anything too quietly or subtle. Ask him a few months ago if he'd ever know what it would be like to find out what Dave's mouth tastes like and he probably would've found a nearby airlock to junk himself out of in embarrassment. Don't get him wrong, either, his face is entirely red at this point. But at least he's not jumping out into the vacuum of space just yet.]
