[ it's not exactly the sensation of being constrained that kaiser wants, but it's closer to it; he relaxes a little, shoulders slackening as some tension leaves his frame. this feeling is more familiar to him than a slow and steady touch, so he feels more comfortable like this. not enough pressure and kaiser won't want to respond, too much and however he responds might not fully be under his control — but noa should've already figured this out about him, so kaiser isn't concerned about that. if there is something kaiser is concerned about, it's that this is some kind of test, because he always assumes that noel noa is attempting to throw some kind of test at him.
kaiser's breathing is steady, but a touch slower and deeper than usual as he looks at noa — as always, kaiser is carefully judging the distance between him and what he wants to do. it's not the gaze of an apex predator, because kaiser has never identified with that, but a predator lower on the food chain. he has to be careful, in case he gets eaten up by making himself vulnerable overextending, but he can't afford to forego any chances to eat either. shall he make a move to escalate or continue offering himself up and following noa's pace?
it takes him a few seconds to consider this; as he does so, he loosens his grip on noa, idly rubbing the pad of his thumb against the inside of his wrist. his instincts are telling him to hold back and wait so that he doesn't get taken off guard while his attention is still as focused as it is — and he did say that he doesn't bite until provoked first, so kaiser supposes he should keep his word. instead of pushing, then, he pulls at noa's shoulder as he leans back carefully: he shall permit noa the honor of laying him down on the bed. ]
