[ the grab brings out that rare moment where his eyes widen, the same way witnessing an impressive goal would in the heat of a tight match. he doesn't fight it, unhooking his arm from the waist so that his hand can be properly planted to the most vulnerable part of the chest. his expression simmers and returns to an imperceptible contemplation, understanding the intention but not the motivation. a way to posture pride and courage? that even if he were to push firm and rough, kaiser can withstand it? for all the ways he can read kaiser, there are still times the would-be emperor can surprise him.
kaiser was born and raised in strife and this is one of few things noa knows they have in common. through a pinch of luck their paths crossed and noa navigated it into a collision. however, noa has little interest in the superficial elements they share in their past - his interest is always forward, never back. he wants to see kaiser break, reconstruct himself from the shattered fragments, and come back stronger with the visible cracks. he wants to see if kaiser can keep fighting no matter how many times it happens. no theory is perfect on the first round - you must test, test, test, and keep testing even after you've proven it.
noa won't dismiss this challenge because he has no desire to insult kaiser. they aren't equals, but he respects kaiser in his own way. so he begins to apply pressure. first with the heel of his palm, then tensing his fingers and applying it with the tips of his fingers. he mimics it from the brief memory of when kaiser pressed into his own neck, waiting to see what it brings out of him. would it be painful or pleasurable? will it be neither and something else noa can't imagine yet. even he isn't sure and that excites him, chest tightening in anticipation. ]
