[ shockingly, kaiser can guess that noa is a "lights off, no talk" type. he also assumes that noa would probably like it if kaiser left immediately after doing the deed, but he is not doing that, thanks!
this exchange is deceptively slow-paced and light-fingered, but kaiser understands there is a crucial intensity to it that stops him from acting too haphazardly. the smirk melts off of his face as he stares back — the fact that kaiser at base has a restrained and severe personality rather than being a natural showboat isn't exactly difficult to figure out after watching him long enough, especially during those moments of pressure when it's hard to hide your true nature. he's not going to bother putting the energy towards putting up pretenses when he's got enough to juggle at the moment.
as for this round: kaiser notes that noa's gaze is drawn away for a moment, then gives away not long afterwards a wary shifting of his shoulders as noa's hand moves towards his solar plexus. there's something telling about the fact that this happens a heartbeat before noa's actually touched around his mid-abdomen — it's one of the places on the body that kaiser instinctively wants to safeguard, knowing very well that one well-placed blow there could be a huge mistake. kaiser sighs, briefly but sharply, more at himself than anything else, and then detours to grab noa by the wrist and press noa's hand into his own body. it serves two purposes — the tight, uncompromising grasp he uses is a signal of how much much pressure he wants to feel against himself too, but it's also to show he's certainly not scared of noa touching him anywhere, because what is he going to do, segue into knocking the wind out of kaiser in the middle of this? and what if kaiser might be into that too?? ahah???
he won't say anything, because now kaiser feels like he'd lose against his self-imposed rules if he resorts to words. but he won't let go until noa starts putting more strength into his touch, because kaiser can't get much enjoyment out of it until he does. it'd be even better for him if it hurt a little, honestly, but he is not going to open that can of worms here and now. ]
