*Wryden sat up and stretched before pulling on his uniform and running his fingers through his hair. Nodding at his appearance he left.* (edited)

Kaijin 14-Aug-20 09:37 AM

*The other side of the room was immaculately kept and neat - Vulcanlike, except the occupant wasn't Vulcan. The Benthan changed into uniform, immaculate as always, and marched out of the room.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 16-Aug-20 01:57 PM

*walking in Wryden made his way to his side and got dressed in appropriate clothing before leaving again.*

Kaijin 18-Aug-20 02:45 AM

*Walking through the door he changed out of uniform and settled down in bed with a PADD in hand, unaware of the things happening next door.*

Kaijin 18-Aug-20 01:13 PM

*Time to get to work. Freshly out of bed he changed into a fresh uniform and headed out.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 18-Aug-20 11:54 PM

*Walking in he pressed his commbadge.* “Lieutenant T’pel, I wish to speak to you in my quarters.”

@Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 18-Aug-20 11:58 PM

@Lt. Cinder Jittaz "Affirmative. I shall be there shortly."

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 18-Aug-20 11:58 PM

*Nodding he sat in his chair as he waited.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 12:02 AM

*Door Beep*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 12:07 AM

“Enter”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 12:12 AM

*She entered, looking around before she spotted him and raised the ta'al,* "Greetings. I trust your day went as... quietly as mine? (edited)

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 12:20 AM

*Returning it he nodded and he motioned for her to sit.* “T’pel, I have given great thought to you offer and if you wish to proceed I accept. There being a contingency that allows either to back out if they do not believe that at the true mating ritual is warranted.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 12:34 AM

*She took a seat, and gave a nod,* "Agreeable." *There was an urge to tease him a little, however she wasn't sure if he was the type. She got very little input from him and she found that it was both calming yet curious* "Then how do you wish to proceed?"

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 12:36 AM

“Tonight if you are available and then we can discuss how we feel tomorrow if you are agreeable to that. “

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 12:39 AM

"I will have to reschedule an appointment, but I can be available."

*Pulled out her data padd to send a message to do just that.*

"It is done. I am all yours for the evening." *She said softly, testing to see his reaction.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 12:54 AM

*There was a flash of lust before it eased into pleasure from him as his face broke into a light smile as he stood and extended his hand.* “Shall we?”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 12:59 AM

*She stood and took his hand.* (edited)

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 07:06 AM

*Taking her into his room proper he closed the door and made contact with her as they faded to black.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 02:23 PM

*Groaning the next morning Wryden opened his eyes and sat up as he ruffled his hair as he looked around his head more clear than it had been in months until he remembered why. Looking next to him was the sleeping form of T’pel. Deciding brushing his teeth can wait he laid back down and scooted up next to her. Trying to absorb her body head as he gently placed an arm around her midsection.* (edited)

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 02:38 PM

*T'Pel had been deep in sleep when her dream began to flutter out of focus. There was another mind's current present and she slowly opened her eyes. Realization of where she was and who she was with floating to the surface of her consciousness. The activities of the night previous...She froze a little. She felt no shame, however she was not used to such closeness. Sex was not a common occurrence for her and cuddling even less so, but she laid still,* "Morning. I trust you slept well?" *She finally said, wanting to kick herself for the awkward formal tone.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 02:59 PM

“I did. Did you as well?” *His Mind was clear like she had never seen it before.* “Is this distance of personal closeness acceptable to you? If you would like I can distance my self.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 03:13 PM

"I slept like a rock, actually. It is unusual that my dreams are not as...vivid. And...I am simply not used to it, is all." *When it came to fixing an issue, it was easy. But any kind of tenderness was rather foreign to her. Especially coming from Vulcan's.* "I am glad you are feeling better."

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 03:32 PM

“As am I. I feel better than I have in several months.” *He removed his arm and laid it on his side as he give her a chance to get used to being close to him and feel not feel trapped.* “Thank you for last night. Might I offer you the morning meal?”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 04:22 PM

"Not yet. I am content laying here for the moment, if that is alright?" *With out his control in high gear to combat the pon farr, he was actually considerate and kind of sweet. She rolled over onto her back and crossed her hands over her stomach,* "We you nervous?" *She asked. Honestly unsure if it had been her, him, or both.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 04:30 PM

“I was alittle. But I’m glad I did it, thank you for helping me.” *Reaching over he placed his finger in her temple and stopped as he looked into her eyes.* “May I?”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 04:47 PM

*She rolled over again and took his hand as she looked at him,* "We can do whatever you wish, however I am going to get this out now. I am not ready to settle. This...is far too new to me and it would be illogical for me to rush into anything. However...with the pressure of your pon farr gone...we can work on a friendship. I am also not opposed to a friendship with...benefits if that is what you wish. I have a lot of myself to explore and study in this area and feel I need to take it slow." *She stopped, feeling as if she could bubble over with thoughts and possibly just ruin the entire mood, and waited for his input.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 05:50 PM

*Nodding he gently touched her temple and she could feel his mind touch hers. His a lot more complex close up as he looks at her. Leaning down he pressed his lips to her forehead as he let his mind connect to hers. Not a full meld but enough that she understood how thankful and appreciative of her he was.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 06:19 PM

*She closed her eyes and allowed the connection. The closeness. It was...nice. Almost like tasting chocolate for the first time after abstaining for months. There was a swirl of thoughts and feelings that she just let pass by. She could meditate on it all later. This had been far different from her first Pon Farr when she was in the academy. That one hurt. And deeply. She actually had not realized that it had scared her from any kind of connection after. She had trusted a human class mate...and sought his help. Only to watch his brag about his sexual prowess being so great as to lay a Vulcan. It made her feel dirty and confined. But Wryden was the opposite. His softness and warm consideration allowed her to breath and simply exist in this new view point. She was still far from wanting a mate, or complication of entanglement. She just wanted to enjoy this for once. To enjoy the connection with a trustworthy soul.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 06:33 PM

*For the first time in a long time he smiled his normally Stoney face brightening before going back. Placing a hand on her side he spoke softly.* “I would never hurt you. Even if this doesn’t work out. You are far to kind for that.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 07:00 PM

*T'Pel quirked a brow and opened an eye,* "How would you feel about round...two?" *He was being so agreeable, that she felt the inspiration.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 07:20 PM

*There was a blossom of happiness from him as he nodded as dimmed the lights to his room and grabbed her hand.* “Anything for you.”

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 19-Aug-20 07:41 PM

*Fades to black*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 19-Aug-20 07:43 PM

*Several hours later they laid in bed cuddling as they watched the stars pass by his window.*

Lt. Cmdr. T'Pel Kestra 20-Aug-20 12:38 AM

\*[D] Some time after, breakfast was had, showers were taken and T'Pel headed out. \*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 20-Aug-20 09:51 AM

*pulling on his clothes he leaves as well.*

Kaijin 20-Aug-20 01:20 PM

*Thankfully the room had been cleaned by the time he returned - the Benthan was none the wiser as he marched to his side of the quarters and collapsed in bed.*

Kaijin 20-Aug-20 09:54 PM

*Another day, another round of dealing with his new crewmates - hopefully this time there would be no annoying Catullans blabbering on about **fun.** After breakfast he changed into uniform and headed out of the shared quarters.* (edited)

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 21-Aug-20 11:12 PM

*Walking in he sat and crossed his legs going into his meditation as he needed.*

Kaijin 21-Aug-20 11:15 PM

\*He stormed through the door and walked into his room, ignoring the other man sitting on the floor. Stupid Catullans, stupid 'it's killing you', stupid everything to do with that. Why did everyone on this god damn ship try so hard to make him **change!?\***

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 21-Aug-20 11:16 PM

“Stop. Sit. We must speak. We have shared this room for several days and have yet to meet. I would like to do so now.” *Wryden was still meditating but knew he was there from his foot steps.*

Kaijin 21-Aug-20 11:20 PM

"I don't recall you having the right to tell me what to do." *He snapped right back while changing out of his uniform.* "But fine. Hello."

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 21-Aug-20 11:30 PM

“While that maybe correct one of us could kill the other with strength while the other could kill everyone on board and get away with it.” *His blank face made it seem almost scary.* “I am wryden. What is your name?”

Kaijin 21-Aug-20 11:37 PM

"Kirhal." *Hazel brown eyes narrowed, studied the hybrid with something akin to bored interest.* "I don't know why your first point is relevant to this conversation."

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 21-Aug-20 11:41 PM

“It was to show that while you may put rank me I am just as powerful in other areas. It was not meant as a threat but more of a show of strength so to speak.” *Still sitting he looked at the other man and gave him a hard look up an down.* “You are a Lieutenant yet you do not have your own quarters. Why?”

Kaijin 21-Aug-20 11:48 PM

"*You* are one and you don't." *He retorted.* "Ask the captain. I am quite comfortable here, really." (edited)

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 21-Aug-20 11:53 PM

“I do not have one because it was a random assignment and I have no strong feelings either way as to if I hav em town quarters or share. I was curious as to your reasoning.”

Kaijin 21-Aug-20 11:57 PM

"I don't know and I don't care." *Shrugging he walked up to the replicator and ordered a salad of some kind.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 22-Aug-20 12:01 AM

“You seem to very indifferent about a lot in your life. Why do you think that is?”

Kaijin 22-Aug-20 12:07 AM

"Don't know, don't really care. What do you *think* I don't care about? Hmm?" *He asked, raising a blond eyebrow.*

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 22-Aug-20 01:05 AM

“I think it is because you find it easier to not care than to care. I do not care about certain aspects of my life because they are minuscule however you seem to not care in general.”

Kaijin 22-Aug-20 01:06 AM

"I care that my job is well done. I care that you and everyone else on this ship is alive and with all their limbs attached. I care that all of you can sleep easy at night because of the work my departement and I do. Everything else is secondary."

Lt. Cinder Jittaz 22-Aug-20 09:08 PM

“That is a sound train of thought.” *He nodded as he looked around closing his eyes again.* “Thank you. I will enjoy your company as long as you wish for me to enjoy yours.”

Kaijin 22-Aug-20 09:55 PM

*Finally. **Someone** who understood. He gave a brief nod before disappearing into hjs room for the night.*

Kaijin 23-Aug-20 11:25 AM

*He left for the gym sometime after.*

Kaijin 27-Aug-20 11:44 PM

*Ugh. Shore leave. Several times he'd been given the chance to go, all times he'd rejected and opted to stay on the ship. Whatever it was he still had a duty to do - **someone** had to watch the security department while everyone else left to have their fun. So he changed into uniform and headed out to the hallway.*

Kaijin 31-Aug-20 10:24 AM

*Later, confident that Pas and Arian had left, he snuck out to the hallway.*

Kaijin 01-Sep-20 01:03 PM

*Thank gods. Sighing he sat down on the sofa and flipped the book open. Somehow he wasn't looking forward to looking after all the drunk crew...*

Kaijin 01-Sep-20 01:48 PM

*He departed for the security hub sometime later.*

Kaijin 02-Sep-20 10:31 AM

*He barely waited for the doors to hiss open before charging into the quarters, fleeing into the room and shutting the door. His roommate didn't seem to be home - but then again he never seemed to be home. Good. All the better. He wouldn't have to see him like this that way. The less he knew or cared about him the better.* *He didn't even bother to change out of his uniform. Into the warm comfort of his bed he sank (yes, he denied that about himself too) - and he simply let the waterworks run, staining the fabric of his pillow. He hated, hated, **hated** feeling like this. Unbecoming of one of his standing in every way. HIs service was its own reward, damn it. He didn't **need** anything else. Maintain peace at all cost, serve at all cost, **protect** at all cost. Keep that in mind and he'd be fine.* *So why did he find himself now questioning that belief of over thirty years?*

Kaijin 02-Sep-20 11:42 AM

*A few hours later he sat up feeling utterly miserable. Days when spells like that hit, he wished that he didn't have them. He hated them so much. He headed out in a simple yellow and white striped shirt and jeans. He needed something to drink.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 04:54 AM

*The bell would ring.*

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 04:58 AM

*He was sittinf in his chair, just off his bridge tenure.* "Enter."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 05:00 AM

*Arian walked in, and stopped just within the room enough for the door to close behind her. She looked over at him, and nodded,* "Lieutenant Kirhal. Good evening, sir."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 05:22 AM

"Hey." *He shut off his desktop monitor and cracked a smile for her, a genuine one.* "You doing alright? Commanding a starship is... pretty tiring."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 05:24 AM

"I am fine, thank you. How was your stint as Captain?" *She kept her gloved hands at her sides.*

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 05:26 AM

"Boring." *He chuckled dryly.* "You? Surely you have more exciting things to do."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 05:29 AM

"Dinner with the Makonians. Uneventful, a lot of information to process, mostly mundane. However the new Tactical office sparred with Ensign Sheppard and gave her a hefty challenge. I watched her in sickbay until she was discharged."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 05:30 AM

"Tactical officer? Which one? I thought nothing much could give her a run for her money."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 05:33 AM

"A Kelpian, one Lieutenant Junior Grade Dunamis. Boarded from the Yorktown Starbase."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 05:34 AM

"Kelpien." *Both blond eyebrows shot up in surprise.* "Those are quite rare aren't they? Rare and powerful as hell."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 05:40 AM

"Correct, sir. I was in witness to the match. She is alright, she left the sickbay in good spirits.\*

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 05:43 AM

"Good. I'd hate to have to drag their ass to the brig if they actually killed her." *A dull, dry chuckle escaped his mouth at the notion.* "You up for the next mission on the holodeck sometime soon?" (edited)

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 05:48 AM

"Perhaps not too soon. I have a lot of data to analyze and I have not met with my Assistant Chief since we left the Starbase. There is a new SI officer aboard as well who I need to acquaint myself with."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 05:51 AM

"I can wait. Because I could see on your face that day not many things make you happier. Am I wrong?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 05:53 AM

"I enjoy the nostalgia, but what pleased me was that you seemed more yourself. You seemed happy."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 05:54 AM

"I *was.*" *He agreed.* "Back in the saddle again, doing what I used to do best. That makes you happy?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:01 AM

"Yes. That had been the goal all along. Pas, Jane, all of us have been trying to make you happy."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:03 AM

*Was that a tear in his eye that he swiftly blinked away. Yeah. It was. He could feel the waterworks pressing at the back of his eyeballs just waiting to be released.* "Aw shit. You got what you want, Ari. For those few minutes you made me very, very happy indeed. For that... thank you. I mean it.'

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:07 AM

"It was a privilege to contribute. You are second in command of Security, having you mentally and emotionally well increases the safety of us all enormously. Now we need to bridge the metaphorical distance between what you felt in the holodeck, to what you feel outside of it."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:09 AM

"And how do you plan to do that?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:13 AM

"By continuing to extend friendship, as will the others."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:16 AM

"I welcome your friendship." *Standing from his seat he approached her and patted her on the shoulder.* "Always."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:18 AM

"Thank you. What of the others? Do you welcome theirs as well?"

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:19 AM

"Course I do."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:23 AM

"Perhaps you might benefit from taking them into your world, and let them see you happy, as I saw you."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:23 AM

"You want me to bring them along for the next mission?" *He raised both eyebrows in surprise - but there was a gentle smirk on his face.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:26 AM

"Bring them along on a mission of your own with them. Show them who you were, and how it relates to who you are."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:27 AM

"I have just the one in mind. Yeah. You coming? Because I'm not setting off without my deputy."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:30 AM

"Just one?"

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:33 AM

"One mission at a time. C'mon. How about this: my *favorite* deputy. You. Because I think that behind all the work you'd give anything to come along for the ride. Am I wrong?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:52 AM

"Of course I want to continue the program with you. I created it for you."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:52 AM

"Then let me know when you're able to join us. I'm not leaving you behind."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:54 AM

"Very well. I will let you know. Did you make a log entry as Captain?"

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:55 AM

"No? I'm not the captain of the ship. The hell would I have put in it anyway?" (edited)

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 06:57 AM

"You were the Captain, while I was eating with the Makonians. You should have, it would have been a great piece of memorabilia."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 06:58 AM

"What would *you* rather I have said, huh? 'Captain's log, supplemental. All systems are normal.' Just that? For three hours worth of waiting?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 07:00 AM

"Yes. I'd save that entry forever: proof of the time I was Captain of the USS Odyssey."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 07:01 AM

"Please. Just the thought and memory's enough. I wouldn't go bragging about it though."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 07:04 AM

"I didn't mention to use it as a braggadocio, merely as a memento. But no matter. I just wish I could have been here to address you as 'Captain'."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 07:05 AM

"Aww. I'm sorry you didn't have the opportunity." *He actually grinned as he settled on the edge of his bedside table.* "It'll come again. Unless you want to start calling me that until I'm dead."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 07:07 AM

"Perhaps I will make Captain first."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 07:07 AM

"We'll see. We can make that a race if you want."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 07:08 AM

"i don't seek the Chair, actually."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 07:09 AM

"You don't? What *do* you seek then?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 07:10 AM

"Just to be of service."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 07:12 AM

"Well. I wish you all the best. Until then... well, you're already of service to me. And to Pas. And to everyone else we know."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 07:13 AM

"Then I am content and gratified."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 07:14 AM

"That's the Arian I know. You know what, it's getting late. I'll see you again sometime soon for that mission. Once again: we are *not* setting off without you. Got it?"

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 07:16 AM

"I wish you would consider it, but until you are comfortable I will attend the missions as well." *She nodded to him,* "Rest well, sir. Thank you for inviting me in unannounced."

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 07:17 AM

"For you, Ari? Come by anytime. At all. And please? While we're talking like this?" *He grinned and opened his arms for a hug.* "Drop the sir. That's an order."

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 07:19 AM

*It was her turn to raise a brow,* "An order? May I remind you that I am Senior Staff, a Department Head." *She stepped over and accepted his offer of a hug.*

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 07:23 AM

"I'm joking. I thought you wanted me to appreciate those." *He might've held her a second or two longer than usual before pulling away.*

Lt. JG Arian Rhosyn 07-Sep-20 07:24 AM

"Heh, very good. Thanks again, Kirhal. Good night." *She raised a gloved hand a wave, then headed out the door.*

Kaijin 07-Sep-20 07:25 AM

"See you around." *Chuckling he sat down in bed with a sigh.*

Kaijin 08-Sep-20 01:32 PM

*He’d left for work a few hours ago.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:00 AM

"So uh. Don't be too bothered by the decor. Or lack of decor actually." *He walked through the door and unzipped his uniform jacket.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:00 AM

"All my fiends have very spartan rooms, maybe I should become a decorator, eh?" (edited)

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:02 AM

"So what do you think would be good to put in here?" *He stepped over to his single pot of Alsuran poppies and watered it - a tiny splash of color among the grey and black.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:05 AM

"Hmm, I don't know. It occurs to me I am not, infact, a decorator."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:10 AM

"Knowinf you you'll come up with something. Drink?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:12 AM

"You flatter, I dunno, it's your room. What kinda stuff do you like? And yes, some water, please."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:16 AM

"Two glasses of water. What do I like? Simple stuff. Pictures maybe. Something like that." *He handed Pas one of the glasses and took a sip out of his own.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:17 AM

*He took a sip.* "Probably best to start with a color pallet, what colors do you like?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:19 AM

"Blue. Maybe some yellow."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:23 AM

"Like a dark blue, a light blue, what kind of blue?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:29 AM

"Dark blue. Like, Indigo."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:30 AM

"Ooh, maybe have a deep sunset kinda palette?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:31 AM

"Sounds nice." *He reasoned, settling down in his couch with a sigh. He left his uniform jacket nearly folded in the replicator, leaving him in his yellow uniform undershirt.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:33 AM

*Pas took a seat next to him.* "Yeah, you did look good with the open jacket."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:37 AM

"Thank you...?" *He sipped from his cup of water and swallowed hard.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:39 AM

"I'm thinking maybe an indigo rug? Some yellow objects around the place, some oranges and reds, too. And maybe make the couch a purple? Hm." (edited)

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:42 AM

"Dark blue couch." *He retorted.* "I'd rather have that. Orange and red... huh. We'll see."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:43 AM

"Yeah that could work." *He nodded, taking a sip, unsure of what to say.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:46 AM

"But really. Thanks. For everything. I'm glad to have met you. At rhe end of it all you're a good guy." *He admitted, giving him a firm pat on the shoulder.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:03 AM

"You're too nice Kirbs, I'm glad I met you, too." *He wrapped the Benthan in a hug.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:10 AM

*There miiiight have been a quiet sigh from him as he practically melted into the hug.* "Oh. That feels nice. Yeah..."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:13 AM

*Pas smiled and scooted into him, giving him as big a hug as possible.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:14 AM

*Oh dear. Oh gods. He migbt have stuttered a bit and turned a bright shade of red now.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:18 AM

"You are very huggable, Kirbs."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:20 AM

"And you give excellent hugs-" *He managed to squeak out. Don't break. Don't break. Keep it together stay calm don't fucking break...*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:22 AM

"Hey it's okay." *He could feel Kir's breathing getting shorter.* "It's okay, I'm here, you can let it out."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:24 AM

"...what? I'm not going to *die*, Pas." *He snapped back.* "But this feels amazing, uh-"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:26 AM

"I'm here to make you feel better, so you don't have to keep anything inside."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:31 AM

"Yeah, I just told you what it was. You can uh... let go now."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:32 AM

"Okay." *He let his arms fall, but stayed cuddled into Kir's side.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:35 AM

*Well, shit. He didn't know what to do. Obviously Pas was quite comfortable where he was, so he sighed and pulled his PADD out of his pocket in an attempt to distract himself. Security reports. Yes. That works. Uh huh.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:43 AM

*Pas rested his head on Kir's shoulder.* "This is nice."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:45 AM

"Um." *He swallowed hard - he agreed, actually. The sole problem being that his mind was screaming at him not to say.* "Y-y-y-yezzzzzzzz."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:48 AM

*Pas smiled and poked him in the side.* "It's okay to be cuddley."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:50 AM

"Is it...?" *He went an even brighter shade of red.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:51 AM

"Of course it is. It's just a part of being affectionate. And right now I'm trying to show you lots of affection."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:56 AM

"Well, yes. That is... readily apparent." *He stammered his way through the whole sentence. Ho ho. Maybe there was just a shred getting through to him?*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:58 AM

"Good, I'm trying to be overt. You are very warm and nice."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:59 AM

"Am I?" *He turned an darker shade of red. Warm and nice? Him? Nah.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:03 AM

"Yup. I could stay like this for a good long time."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:04 AM

"Uhm. Uh." *He giggled somewhat and curled an arm around his shoulders.* "The hell is wrong with me? Why is my brain so foggy?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:06 AM

"Emotions, probably." *He said returning the gestured and wrapped and arm aroubd him.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:07 AM

"Emotions. Yes. Ah ha ha..."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:08 AM

"What are they sayin big guy?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:09 AM

"I have no idea." *He mumbled,* "Never learned to read the weird things..."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:10 AM

"Well walk me through how you're feeling."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:11 AM

"Feels rather nice.' *He summed up.* "Warm and fluffy? Sort of?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:14 AM

"That's good." *He moved his head a little closer to Kir's.* "I feel warm and fluffy, too." (edited)

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:16 AM

"D-do you?" *No no no no calm down get yourself together dammit this isn't you SNAP OUT OF IT- somehow he didn't want to move his head away.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:18 AM

"I do. You make me feel really special, Kir." *His head got a little closer.* (edited)

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:19 AM

"Oh. Uh. Yes. I do? Thank you. Yes. Uh huh."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:21 AM

*Pas smiled and pressed his forehead to Kir's.* "I don't know if I've ever felt quite like this before."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:23 AM

"...uhm. The feeling is... mutual?" *Rather than lean back the poor guy sat frozen to the spot, unable to move or react. More than anything he seemed a bit overwhelmed. But the feeling was nice though.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:24 AM

"I really want to kiss you, Kirbs. But I don't know if you want me to."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:30 AM

"Oh. Uhhhhhhhhh..." *He drawled.* "...if you want to?" *Wait WHAT. The hell you just agree to, Kirhal? No no no no stopppp...*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:33 AM

*Pas smiled and pressed in to put a kiss on his lips.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:38 AM

*Oh crap. **Oh crap.** Oh god this is actually happening oh gods oh no oh shit. He swallowed hard but did not resist - in fact he found himself leaning in ever so slightly.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:44 AM

*Pas pressed into the kiss, exhilarated. He did feel like this was different. He draped his arms around Kir's neck.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:45 AM

*Yeah. He basically melted right there and then, trembling a little in place.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:48 AM

*Pas broke from the kiss and smiled.* "Okay, now it's a date."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:49 AM

"W-w-w-wha whaaaaat?" *He stuttered, swallowing hard and reaching up to desperately scrub the searing flush off his face.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:53 AM

"Don't you want it to be?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:54 AM

*He opened his mouth to answer and promptly closed it again - quite like a fish, actually. No words came out. Ho ho. Maybe he just didn't know what to think just yet.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 12:06 PM

"Then I'll wait for your decision. I will tell you that I quite enjoyed that."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 12:07 PM

"Y-y-y'know the funny part? I actually agree with you."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 12:22 PM

"Then how would you like to do this?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 12:24 PM

"Um. I-I-I'll just... um. Uh. See... where... this... goes...?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 12:25 PM

"So do you want to try us?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 12:27 PM

"I... guess." *He swallowed hard and blinked once.* "See how things go."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 12:31 PM

"Yeah. I think I'd like that."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 12:38 PM

"Well. Okay then." *He said dumbly.* "What now?" (edited)

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 12:45 PM

"See where this takes us, I guess." *He leaned up to kiss him again.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 12:57 PM

*Once again he hesitated and blushed furiously, but he leaned back in with his eyes half closed.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 01:02 PM

*Pas pressed into the kiss rolling over so he was straddling the Benthan.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 01:27 PM

*He let out a yelp of surprise as he was pushed over.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 02:03 PM

"Would you like to see how far we can take this?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 02:06 PM

"Isn't it a little early...?" *He squeaked out.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 02:17 PM

"It's been a long day."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 02:17 PM

"As in- early in this relationship?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 02:18 PM

"Yeah. Maybe. If you want to take it slower we can, but I guess I've just never done it differently."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 02:21 PM

"Slower is good, yes."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 02:26 PM

"Then we can take it slower." *He settled his position from a stradle to laying in his chest.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 02:35 PM

*He closed his eyes and let out a quiet sigh, draping his arm over Pas' back.* (edited)

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:01 PM

"It has been a long day." *He said quietly, closing his eyes and resting on Kir's frame.* (edited)

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:26 PM

"Ah, alright then. Goodnight, Pas. I'm not waking you up in the morning, though." *He informed him, rather bluntly.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:29 PM

"Mmm, so mean to mean to me Kirbs." *He he chuckled softly and started to drift off.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 03:31 PM

"You're old enough." *He retorted.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 03:35 PM

"Sposed to be nice to your boyfriend." *He drifts off feeling rather cozy in Kir's embrace.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 04:01 PM

"Whatever. Sleep well." *He patted his back once and sighed. Maybe he could get used to this.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 04:57 PM

*Pas looked rather peaceful as he contentedly slept*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:15 PM

*He didn't know when he dozed off. Bleh, did it matter anyway? Whatever it was, he awoke in the morning with Pasto sleeping on his- oh gods. Right. He pushed the Catullan off him onto the sofa and walked off to change into a new uniform.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:23 PM

*Pas woke a few moments after being jostled awake. He stretched and as he opened his eyes.* "Gmorning to you, too."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:24 PM

"Morning to you too." *He replied, zipping up the jacket of his new uniform.* "Am I *that* comfortable a pillow?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:29 PM

"You are." *He said as he stood, making his way over.* (edited)

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:35 PM

"Huh. Okay then. I'm... glad to hear that." *He replied, giving him an awkward hug.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:38 PM

*He chuckled.* "You are such a dork." *He gave him a squeeze then pulled back and kissed him.* (edited)

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:41 PM

"Am I?" *He blushed a dark shade of red and swallowed firmly before pulling away.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:44 PM

"Yes, in an endearing way." *He smiled, then reached forward and openered his jacket.* "There ya go."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:46 PM

"That's not regulation. Not exactly." *He protested, zipping it back up again.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 10:48 PM

"It's listed on the uniform varients. For me?" *He gave him some puppy dog eyes.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 10:58 PM

"But-" *Oh gods, those puppy dog eyes were so blinking pleading it made his heart melt.* "Fine." \*He unzipped it slightly, if only to gibe himself some breathing room.?

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:03 PM

"C'mon, you know what I mean. Pleeeeease?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:05 PM

"We'll compromise." *Just a little further down and that was all.* "Want anything to eat?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:10 PM

"Okay, okay. Thank you for humouring me. And yes, food sounds good."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:10 PM

"Preferences?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:12 PM

"You know I'm indecisive about food."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:14 PM

"How about a Benthan delicacy?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:16 PM

"Sure." *He nodded, intrigued.* (edited)

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:19 PM

*He marched over to the replicator and ordered what looked like... some kind of pie with fish sticking out of it. Sort of.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:22 PM

"Do you have to march everywhere?" *He chuckled.* "So, what's this?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:24 PM

"Sohlat pie. Try not to eat too much of the fish, they make your breath stink. Kind of."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:25 PM

"Then why is it in there?" *He raised an eyebrow.* (edited)

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:26 PM

"It tastes delicious." *He replied with a slight smirk as he cut a piece for him to try.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:30 PM

"Kinda like..." *He though Kir might not appreciate that kind of joke over breakfast.* "Nevermind." *He took a seat.* "How do you go about this, just like a regular pie?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:32 PM

"Regular pie. Nothing to worry about." *He sat down next to him and dug in, starting with the head of the fish.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:34 PM

*Pas took a bite, taking in the new food, as well as the company he was with.*

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:36 PM

*The fish was extremely salty and... fishy. And jerkylike. Ha ha. Kir didn't seem bothered, though, as he ate.*

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:38 PM

"Well... that is certainly... interesting. This is the most delicious of Benthan cusine?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:40 PM

"It's a delicacy enjoyed greatly by all but no, not really. There's something better."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:42 PM

"Do other cusines just like, blow your mind? Do tell, what's this mystery dish?"

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:48 PM

"You'll find out eventually. Come back here tonight."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:50 PM

"I'll let you know, because I refuse to believe you're doing it on purpose, that you sound very suggestive when you say it like that."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:52 PM

"Pas. It is what it is."

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:55 PM

*Pas raised an eyebrow.* "I am- so proud of you right now."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:56 PM

"...why?"

LearnedAx 12-Sep-20 11:57 PM

"Because you didn't immediately flail about when I accused you of being suggestive, for one."

Kaijin 12-Sep-20 11:58 PM

"Would you rather I punch your lights out for suggesting?"

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 12:01 AM

"No no, it's progress." *He chuckled.*

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 12:24 AM

"Thank you." *He grinned and reached over to squeeze his shoulder.*

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 12:27 AM

*He smiled.* "Of course. And do you mind if I stop eating this? It tastes like a metaphor."

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 12:28 AM

"If you like. Trust me, some non-Benthans find it vile."

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 12:31 AM

"Yeah. Next time we try Catullan cuisine." *He put the plate in the replicator and ordered just a chicken sandwich, bringing it over and sitting back with Kir.* "This, however, is very nice."

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 12:32 AM

"Fair enough. I'm happy with the pie though - but hey, you do you."

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 12:33 AM

"I meant the sitting with you part." (edited)

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 12:41 AM

"Thank you." *He actually chuckled, genuinely, and dipped his head.*

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 12:46 AM

"Of course." *He scooted closer and gave him a kiss on the cheek.* (edited)

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 12:49 AM

*Once again he blushed a bright shade of red and swallowed his last bite of pie.* "See you tonight then."

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 12:51 AM

"Wouldn't miss it for the galaxy." *He smiled.* (edited)

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 12:54 AM

"Good. Now finish your breakfast and bug off. Don't be late."

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 12:55 AM

"Aye aye." *But he grabbed Kors hand as he began to turn and leave.* "Hey Kir?"

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 01:00 AM

"Yeah? What's up?"

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 01:02 AM

"I..." *Well he might as well say it. They had all, but actually done it last night, and he felt in his heart that he did. So why was it so hard to say?* "I love you."

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 01:05 AM

*He swallowed hard - well, the confession was certainly quite early.* "I don't know if I feel the same just yet. But I'm honored."

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 01:08 AM

*Pas nodded. He didn't expect for Kir to have it figured out. He didn't even expect himself to, but he meant it.* "You make me feel a way I never have before, and no matter what happens from here, I will always treasure this."

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 01:10 AM

"Oh, sh-sh-shut up. Get a move on before lieutenant Iron Forge bites your face off. Literally."

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 01:12 AM

*He smiled.* "I will, don't you worry."

Kaijin 13-Sep-20 01:15 AM

"That's an order. *Move.*" *He grabbed him by the shoulder and ushered him to the door.* "No way in hell are you staying here."

LearnedAx 13-Sep-20 01:16 AM

"Okay okay." *He chuckled and grabbed his sandwich as he was pushed out.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 09:54 AM

*He walked through the door and slipped off to change first and foremost. He wasn't exactly most comfortable with others watching just yet.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 09:58 AM

*Pas raised an eyebrow.* "Oh are we getting changing, I didn't know there'd be a dress code." *He grinned and took off his uniform jacket, laying it on the couch.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 10:16 AM

"Would yoh *rather* I wear my uniform? I thought you liked casual." *He remarked, walking out of the bedroom in a yellow and white striped shirt and shorts.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 10:21 AM

"Wow, when did you pick that up?"

"Or is it replicated?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 10:35 AM

"Replicated." *He sat down right next to him with a sigh.* "Your day go alright?" (edited)

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 10:37 AM

"Yeah, it was alright. How about yours?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 10:40 AM

"Boring as hell. But I feel a little better now. The most delicious thing on Bentha Prime is a dessert by the way..."

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 10:42 AM

"Ooh sounds interesting. Does that mean we're having dinner first?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 10:51 AM

"If you want. THe dessert itself is pretty filling though."

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 10:52 AM

"I'll trust you on it, let's try it." (edited)

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 10:59 AM

*Standing, he walked to the replicator and said something in native Benthan to it - and immediately two bowls of what looked like shaved ice covered in golden sauce materialized in the slot.* "Looks kind of odd, I know..."

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:01 AM

"Looks kinda like a snow cone. What is it?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:02 AM

"Eh..." *He considered the question as he brought the two bowls over - for some reason they seemed to glisten a little and hold their shape as he walked.* "Most non-Benthans can't pronounce it's name. But try it and you'll get an idea of what it is, Sort of." *He placed one plate in Pas' lap and sat back down again.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:04 AM

*He nodded, and picked up the spoon(?) to try a bite of the interesting dish.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:09 AM

*It turned out that the mountain was some sort of sweet flavored rice that tasted like caramel, much like mochi. As soon as Pas removed the top of the mound the whole thing sort of sagged inwards as if melting... and stopped halfway, which Kir frowned at.* "It's supposed to melt all the way..."

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:11 AM

"Wow that *is* really good." *He noticed Kir's dissapointedment.* "I guess I even make inanimate food hard." *He grinned and poked with with his spoon.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:13 AM

*Oh, hold on. At the end of it all the whole mound did cave in, revealing a little scoop of ice cream, some sort of biscuit and some kind of sauce hiding in the middle.* "Finally." *He grinned and went back to his own dessert.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:14 AM

"Wow look at that." *He pulled off a bite of the middle surprise to try it.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:17 AM

*The middle was something like a creme brulee in ice cream form.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:18 AM

"That is very cool." *He continued eating the dessert.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:21 AM

"Told you." *He nudged his shoulder once before going on with his own dessert.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:23 AM

"I'll admit, I was worried after the pie." *He grinned And nudged him a bit back.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:24 AM

"Not all our food tastes awful, Pas."

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:25 AM

"I knoooow, I'm just saying."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:26 AM

"Good that you know. Hope you like it. It's a festive dish, actually. Eaten probably... once every three years?"

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:30 AM

"Wow, am I gonna have to wait 3 years to have it again? Well this is a ten year mission."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:32 AM

"Of course not. Just order it with the replicator code. Of course I *could* keep it to just once every threee years."

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:39 AM

"You would do that? So mean!" *He accentuated by leaning into him.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:41 AM

"Don't tempt me." *He growled back, wrapping an arm around his head.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 12:06 PM

"What if I like tempting you, Kirbs?" *He grinned and poked him in the side.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 12:09 PM

"Computer, restrict access to item code Kirhal-3-5-Q, replicatable once every three years-"

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 12:11 PM

*He stopped him half way through the sentence by kissing him.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 12:20 PM

"Fine." *He blushed and pulled him off his body before sighing and returning to dinner.* "Be that way."

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 12:21 PM

*He chuckled.* "You were there one being a big ole meanie." *He continued eating the dish.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 12:22 PM

"And if I prefer being mean?"

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 12:24 PM

"I don't think you do."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 12:33 PM

“What if I actually do? What’d you do about it?”

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 12:34 PM

"Serious answer or silly answer, because I have both?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 12:34 PM

“Give me both.”

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 12:35 PM

"Silly answer, I'd kiss you everytime you try to be mean. Serious answer, I'd try and help you not feel like you need to be mean to people."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 12:44 PM

“I’ll take the second one. The first? Sure.” (edited)

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 12:47 PM

"Aw, you're such a sweetheart. You don't, do you? Like being mean?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 12:48 PM

“I leave that to you to guess. Or pry out of me. However you choose to get the answer.”

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 12:51 PM

"I don't think you do. Because as much as I tease you, you are very nice. You've got a lot of heart, and loveliness, and loyalty. All in a big strong package."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 12:53 PM

“Thanks. I’m fine with that description.”

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 12:56 PM

"And I hope you believe it, because I do."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 12:58 PM

“We’ll see.” *He huffed and leaned back against the sofa, closing his eyes.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 01:00 PM

"I think we will." *He leaned back with him.* "Heh, I like that."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 01:02 PM

“A teddy bear or grizzly bear. Hmmm.”

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 01:03 PM

"Teddy bear, definitely." *He said, leaning into him.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 01:06 PM

“With claws. Definitely.”

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 01:06 PM

"Yeah, but for protecting the people you love."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 01:07 PM

“Maybe. Or to claw little cuts into the faces of those who piss me off...”

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 01:11 PM

"Aw, that's mean. Do I need to kiss you again?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 01:13 PM

“No.” *He stated with a tiny smirk.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 01:13 PM

"And what if I want to kiss you again?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 01:15 PM

“If you want.”

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 01:17 PM

"I think I do." *And he leaned up to do just that.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 07:43 PM

*Admittedly still not quite used to gestures of affection like that, he simply flushed and leaned in, albeit somewhat more awkwardly.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 08:33 PM

*Pas pressed in gently, guiding Kir, and draping his arms around his neck.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 09:30 PM

*Poor Kir practically melted into the kiss. Aww.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 09:49 PM

*Pas melted too, in his own way. The general situation wasn't new, but the specifics were. Who it was, and how he felt. Even Kir's awkwardness just added to the sensation that it was something more than the times before.*

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 10:52 PM

*He would definitely have agreed with that last part. After a little whilr je pulled away and lay back on the sofa with a sigh.* (edited)

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 10:57 PM

*Pas laid back next to him with a smile, also giving a contented sigh.* "I could get used to this, you should be mean more often. I'm kidding, please don't. Just let me kiss you a bunch."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 10:57 PM

"How mean? Rip your legs off kind of mean?"

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 10:58 PM

"Mmm, no, maybe a little less than that."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:01 PM

"Smack you across the room mean?

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:02 PM

"Ooh, that's not mean, that's hot." (edited)

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:04 PM

"You *want* to be thrown across the room?"

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:05 PM

"More about the smacking part."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:10 PM

*Yep. He merely rolled his eyes and sighed again.* "Really?"

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:12 PM

"Don't kinkshame me, Kirbs."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:15 PM

"Don't do *what?*" *As far as he was concerned he'd never heard of the term.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:17 PM

"Don't *shame* me for my *kink*. Pretty self explanatory ya big doofus."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:21 PM

"Fine." *He nudged his shoulder and walked off o replicate a glass of water.* "Drink?"

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:24 PM

*He stretched out as Kir stood.* "Mmmmmmm, sure. Just water, I guess."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:28 PM

"Two glasses of iced water. Plans for tomorrow?" *He asked as he brought their drinks back.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:30 PM

"Oh I don't know. What do ya want to do?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:34 PM

"Holodeck mission. Maybe with Arian if she wants to come."

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:34 PM

"Could do, certainly, but what about an actual date?"

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:39 PM

"Well. That definitely sounds good. But I really don't know how to... organize one." *He admitted sheepishly.*

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:42 PM

"I mean, just like anything else. Pick something we want to do and pick a time."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:53 PM

"How about the arboretum? Or gardens?"

LearnedAx 15-Sep-20 11:55 PM

"That could be nice. I was thinking, about the holodeck program. I mentioned making a nice program out of it, but it occurs to me that field wouldn't exactly be a good memory for you."

Kaijin 15-Sep-20 11:58 PM

"Or the holodeck... you know what? Give me the sappiest program you can think of."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 12:01 AM

"Um, okay, well." *He put his wrist up to his forehead.* "I don't know, I just want to spend time with you. Gosh why can't I think right now?"

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 12:11 AM

"The sappiest program you can think of. Make me grin."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 12:22 AM

"I'm serious, Kir. Something doesn't feel right."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 12:29 AM

"Wanna talk about it? I'm here to listen if you want." *He reached over and wrapped him up in a hug.*

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 12:33 AM

"I just... everything is catching up with me. I've been so caught up in the moment I think I forgot to think about it all. Oh man, this is the happiest I've ever been since... ever? But I also feel terrified."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 01:03 AM

"Look, kid. You'll be okay. I know you will. I'm here. Arian is here. I don't know too much about stuff like this but whatever the hell happens we'll support you all the way."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 01:09 AM

"Yeah, I know I just need to vent about it. Because I get sad when you say you need more time, but then I feel bad about getting sad, because it's horrible to expect you to be on the same pace with my high speed strain wreck of emotions, also please don't call me kid, it's makes me uncomfortable."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 01:17 AM

"I'll bear that in mind from now on. But whatever it is... you'll be okay. I know that. Mmm?"

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 01:20 AM

"Okay...okay. I.... I just..." *He curled up and burried his face in Kir's chest.*

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 01:44 AM

"There, there. Come here, eh?" *He sighed and hugged him close and tight.* "You'll be okay."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 01:47 AM

"Kir, I need to ask. Do you think we'll be okay? Not you me and Arian, not just me, us. Together. I just need to hear it."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 01:49 AM

"Why wouldn't we be? Whether we stay like this or not we'll damn well be okay."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 01:53 AM

"I just needed to hear it. Thank you." *He took a deep breath, then nodded, shifting into a more cuddley position.* "Good, I was right."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 01:58 AM

"Yer welcome. Have a good rest. I'll be here. Mmm? See you in the morning."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 01:59 AM

"Not even going to ask what I was right about?" *He was just a bit dissapointed that he wasn't playing along.*

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 02:03 AM

"What were you right about?"

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 02:05 AM

"About you being nice. Funny, I don't wanna kiss you any less."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 02:13 AM

"Did you ever want to kiss me any less?"

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 02:16 AM

"Ever? Yes, before we knew each other well and I just talked to you because you really needed a friend."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 02:19 AM

"Well, true. I guess."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 02:20 AM

"And it's probably been going up, actually, recently."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 02:26 AM

"Really. So what's so appealing about an old man like me?"

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 02:28 AM

"Muscle. Fetish." *He said, patting Kir's arm to accentuate each word.*

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 02:36 AM

*Right. He didn't know how to feel about that. It'd have been polite to worm away as well. Instead he chuckled nervously and went red.* "Hmmph. I'm not that buff."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 02:39 AM

*Really? They just made out on the couch and that's what's getting him caught up?* "I'm joking. Well, no not entirely, you are muscular, and I do like that, but that's not the actual reason I like you."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 02:41 AM

"Really. So what is it?" *Clueless as ever. Ha ha.*

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 02:44 AM

"I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You're compassionate, loyal, and brave. And endearingly awkward."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 02:50 AM

'Ah, fine. Have it your way." *He would then kiss him on the cheek.*

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 02:53 AM

"Hey, that's supposed to be my move." *But the way his face lit up was in direct contrast to his words.* (edited)

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 03:11 AM

"Making things that bit more interesting."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 03:12 AM

"Is that right? Well, it could be considered mean, now couldn't it?"

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 03:27 AM

"Why would it be?"

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 03:30 AM

"Because then I'd have to do this." *And he pressed in to kiss him.*

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 03:43 AM

"What- oh-" *He sighed into the kiss and melted just a little.*

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 03:52 AM

*Pas pressed into it, still exhilarated by it. He decided this time to wrap his arms around Kir's sides.*

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 08:32 AM

*He instantly tensed up and struggled a tiny bit - this was a bit too much for him, for now at least...*

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 08:35 AM

*Pas pulled back as he felt Kir tense up and resist, the expiration plummeting into dread.* "What's wrong?"

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 08:38 AM

*He took a deep breath and opened his eyes again, looking a bit shaken.* "Let's... tone it down for now? I know you adore me but that's a bit overwhelming for the time being."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 08:41 AM

"What was, what was different?" *He asked, his eyes showed that he was sharing in his shakeness. He wasn't really sure what he had done differently, but the fact that it had hurt Kir made from feel terrible.*

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 08:48 AM

"Uh... Pas. Look, I get that you adore me and you're not afraid to show me that. But you can come on a little strong sometimes and it's kind of overwhelming."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 08:57 AM

"What, what did I do?" *There was a bit of panic in his eyes as he looked at him.*

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 09:09 AM

"Being a little too overly affectionate. I'm new to this whole game. Don't worry, you haven't hurt me. Just... know that I have limits too. Okay? They'll get better as I go along."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 09:14 AM

"Kir, what does that mean? Just 'being overly affectionate' doesn't tell me what's wrong."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 09:19 AM

"Just that I'm not used to people being so affectionate. You know?"

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 09:21 AM

"Kirhal." *He'd never really called him that ever.* "Just saying that doesn't help me. What did I do that was too affectionate?"

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 09:40 AM

"Just... too much of all... this. You know, the kissing and stuff. For now."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 09:52 AM

"Okay. Well. Okay." *He sighed and layed back down.* "I'm sorry." (edited)

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 10:03 AM

"It's okay." *He reached over and squeezed his hand, firmly, once.* "We'll get there. One step at a time. Mmkay?"

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 10:10 AM

"It's not okay. I'm just being selfish."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 10:28 AM

"How?"

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 10:30 AM

"I'm just thinking about what I want and not what you want. I'm sorry, I don't stop to think about you."

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 10:38 AM

"Hey. No timr like the present to start."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 10:42 AM

"Yeah, okay." *He said, nuzzling into him.*

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 11:10 AM

"Yeah. Relax. We'll be okay."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 11:19 AM

"Sappy holodeck program, right?"

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 11:30 AM

"Yeah. Make me grin so hard my face hurts."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 11:34 AM

"I'll try. But, we should probably get some sleep, hm?"

Kaijin 16-Sep-20 11:36 AM

"We can doze right here. Not that my roommate cares, he's never home."

LearnedAx 16-Sep-20 11:47 AM

"Couch more comfortable than your bed?"
