Not like David would refuse him today. But he might refuse him on the couch specifically. Falls under that 'stain' rule.

He's beautiful, David says, his brain overwhelmed by the way the man moves in response to the light scratches. Balthier's body is a live wire that David holds against himself, his hands coming up to Balthier's back and scratching. Stronger scratches too. He wants the sting to be there for his love, because it seems to work for Balthier. Hell, it goes with the bite too, and pulls a moan from David's lips.
