[It's a lot harder to control his reaction to Doumeki's regular brand of....straightforwardness when they're in person and not texting, but to Sycamore's credit, he manages to hold in the laugh threatening to spill out. There's also the fact that he's actually....looking like he might want to talk about the sexual adventures of him and his lovely boss, so...
...best to get comfortable. They're not going anywhere. Froakie, cover your ears...]
It sounds like you didn't need those chocolates to get started, hmm?
[ It's a miracle, tbh. Doumeki is growing up, or maybe he's a little proud that he got to have a quickie with Yashiro, who can say. The man has never really had much pride before, so this is a new experience for him. ]
No, we did not.
[ He takes another long sip of his beer. Can he really do this? Can he say it out loud? ]
[That was the most magnificent face journey Sycamore has seen in a while, and it takes all of his considerable self-control this time to prevent any laughter from escaping. Doumeki might notice a bit of a twitch in the corner of his mouth, but other than that...]
Ah, I see....with his hand, under the table.
[Who said romance was dead? Sycamore takes another sip of his beer, continuing to smile at Doumeki over the glass. What progress! He never would have mentioned anything related to sex, previously. But now....
...he shouldn't continue to encourage this, but....well! If Doumeki wants to open up, he's not going to stop him....]
He must have been very excited to be on a date with you, mon ami. That's good news, no? You were so worried!
[ It's ok, Yashiro is pretty blatant when he laughs at him, he could take it. ]
He was. He... [ Sucked him off in the bathroom? Sycamore's gonna have to pry a little harder for that one. ] He seemed very happy. I was, too.
[ At least talking about Yashiro's happiness is a quick way to bring Doumeki back to himself, and away from the bright-red stoplight that his face has become. ]
It's so wonderful knowing that the boss loves me.
[ Yes, he can somehow say that without blushing nearly as much as the other thing. ]
[That in no way indicates that Yashiro has told him anything; Sycamore could pass it off as a assumption. A feeling. He's always been supportive of their relationship, but also very clear on keeping Yashiro's confidence...keeping his secrets safe. He could never repeat to Doumeki what he's been told.
But then again, he's not the one who should be doing so, is he?]
You must be very happy.
[Either way, his smile has shifted to something far more warm.]
[ Doumeki nods. He wouldn't assume that Yashiro had told Sycamore. Yashiro can barely admit it to himself. He doesn't need the words to know, just like he's sure Sycamore doesn't need to hear it either, to just know.
He is just so... happy. To know that Yashiro loves him. And to know that somehow, despite that, Yashiro hasn't left. Because that was the biggest likelihood of what would happen if Yashiro ever realized his feelings. That he would leave, because he didn't think himself capable, or even worthy, of love. ]
I am.
[ And he is. Because Yashiro loves him, and because he's in love with Yashiro. It's just so... nice. Doumeki finishes off his beer and blushes again. It's about the blowjob this time. It was really good. ]
[It definitely delights Sycamore to see Doumeki so happy (and blushing!), so he knows he'll be grinning for the next little while. But! That doesn't mean they just rest on their laurels!]
So what's your next move?
[He'll neatly pop one of those takoyaki into his mouth as he speaks, making a muffled noise as the heat dissipates.]
[ Dates... he hasn't actually planned any yet, has he? Yashiro's the one who invites him. Doumeki's a simple guy, he has plans for sex, maybe, but a date... he should do that too. ]
I... we....
[ He takes one of the takoyaki for himself, blowing on it first. ]
He was on top, recently. I enjoyed that very much. I plan to ask him to do so again.
[ Time to eat that takoyaki! No questions, thank you! (All the questions....) ]
...okay, obviously something Doumeki just said has struck a nerve, because Sycamore immediately pushes some takoyaki toward Froakie to distract him, leans forward and lowers his voice to an excited whisper.]
Isn't it wonderful?!
[He really should be trying to get his head around the fact that 1) Yashiro...topped? Really? Yashiro? and 2) He topped Doumeki?!, but it's hard not to get a bit excited by this particular topic. They can talk about the semantics in a moment.]
Was it the first time you've done it? I've never....before Lysandre and....wow! When you're with someone who knows what they're doing, it's....!
[ Doumeki nods, at least Sycamore's reaction actually makes him feel better about the fact that this was like... an earth-shattering revelation for him. I mean he had to text Rosho about it, it was that good. ]
Yes. It was my first time being on the receiving end.
[ He takes another sip of his -- oh, it's empty. He's gonna order another beer. But he keeps talking. Oh, no, someone make him stop... ]
Yashiro-san is very good at it. When he was inside me, I... I do not have the words to describe it. "Wonderful" does not do it justice.
[More beer is absolutely required, and Sycamore will get another one himself - he'll add in an order for some rice, too, since he knows Doumeki likes it. Once the waitress departs, though, he's back to semi-whispering. He's not...sure why he's whispering - Froakie isn't paying attention and there aren't any tables near them - but it feels...a bit lewd, to talk about this sort of thing in public?
But then he thinks of Yashiro (who is apparently very good at topping? Yashiro? He'll have to talk to him about this...), and his complete lack of a filter...maybe that's the energy he needs to channel. Hmm.]
It's sort of...how do I say it. At first it's overwhelming because the feeling is so strange, but once you get used to it it's just...
[-let him wave his hands in the air as he tries to find the words-]
...incredible! And it's so much better when it's with someone you love, no? That sounds cheesy, but I think it's true.
[ Sycamore is being like 200% more expressive than Doumeki about this, but in a way that almost helps, because that's how Doumeki feels too, he's just not the type to show it like that. ]
Yes... I thought so too. [ Big mood, as they say. He nods. ] He did it because he loves me.
[ He is so red. Bright red. Somehow it feels more embarrassing to say when it comes into the context of getting fucked by Yashiro. But it's true. ]
[Look Sycamore is just glad Doumeki has turned bright red, because the longer they talk about this, the more he can feel himself starting to flush as well....and it's not because of the beer....]
Yes, exactly! Those are my thoughts too! Ah, I feel like a teenager again, but it was....so special?
[We're really just going to sit here and gush over how much we love our boyfriends, aren't we-]
Sharing that experience with him meant so much. Now I want to focus on getting better at it! What do you think? Although perhaps it is a little different with you and Yashiro since you switch around a bit, no?
[They really are just getting straight into it, aren't they? Going from talking only about dates, to discussing sex positions....this is really the start of a beautiful friendship.]
Ooh, that's a good idea! I think he'd definitely like that. I should keep that position in mind myself.
[....
....yep, he's thinking about it. Is it possible for his face to get any more red? Probably not. Sycamore will take another long sip of beer to try and play it off as just the alcohol...
(it's definitely not the alcohol.)]
The person on top is in control then, aren't they? Of everything. I like the way you think, Doumeki.
[Blaming the alcohol is an excellent idea, and even though it wasn't vocalised, Sycamore is definitely on that wavelength - he'll take another long sip of his beer before he replies.]
He usually likes you physically on top of him, then? Mhmm, tricky. But I think if you catch him in the right mood, he'd definitely be interested. He'd probably like to control the pace. Something different! Mixing it up.
[He falls silent after that, looking into his beer as if all the world's answers are located in the froth.]
I think...that would be fun to do with Lysandre, but likes to be in control of things, you know? But then, at the same time, I don't want him to feel like he needs to be because he's the more experienced one out of the two of us. Ah, it's complicated....it should not be this complicated, Doumeki!
[ Doumeki follows suit, taking a long sip and grabbing a big bowl of rice once it arrived. ]
Yes. I think I can convince him. He has wanted to see me touch myself for a while, so maybe...
[ Maybe if he dangles that like a prize, he can get him desperate enough to agree? This is some high-level thinking for Doumeki. He really is growing. ]
If you talk to him, I'm sure he will understand. Even if he does it because he wants to do something nice for you. Then you will find out together.
[ Like yeah, Doumeki was dying when Yashiro finally fucked him, but he kept going because Doumeki was clearly into it. That's almost the same thing, right? ]
[Damn, this is some planning, Doumeki! Sycamore considers what he said, then he nods thoughtfully.]
I think that would work. A fair exchange! You do something he wants, then he does something you want. As long as you're both comfortable with those options, I think it's an excellent idea. Perhaps I should try that with Lysandre....hmmm....
[Thinking, thinking...the more you drink, the harder it is to think....funny that!]
...no, that wouldn't work with him. He would want me to be honest. The problem with Lysandre is that he's so [-more waving of hands-] determined to make sure I'm having a good time, that he won't tell me if there's something he's not enjoying or not interested in. It's annoying! We both want to please each other too much.
[ He is learning. Adapting. Becoming stronger... ]
I believe it is an assured to sway him, at least enough for him to consider it.
[ Doumeki's got rice and he's got booze, what more could he need, to be honest. He hasn't heard many of Sycamore and Lysandre's relationship foibles, but he's heard all of Rosho and Sasara's, so he figures he can roll with this too. ]
I see. [ He nods. ] Yes. Yashiro does the same when he is trying to please me.
[ It's part of what makes him so damn nice.... He loves him... ]
[Apparently this dating chat has dissolved straight into airing their relationship's lewd laundry, but Sycamore can't say he's too disappointed. This is bonding! They're bonding. Bonding over beers, like the manly men they are!
Speaking of which, it's clearly time for a third round. Thank goodness Froakie has decided to take a nap (far closer to Doumeki's side of the table than his...rude!).]
It's annoying, isn't it? It's like...you know they know that you would want to know if they weren't enjoying themselves, but then they don't let you know! Then you have to press them to find out, after the fact, and it's frustrating! Lysandre and I are trying to work on being honest with one another, but it's so easy for him to slip into that "it's fine, Augustine" [-Sycamore lowers his voice appropriately, in what is - regardless - still a terrible imitation of his partner-] as long as he thinks I'm having fun. Ridiculous.
[Have a long, drawn out sigh, even though Sycamore is still smiling.]
It is so difficult, to love someone so much...such a beautiful thing, when the love comes from both sides, but it comes with its own set of problems! Although it is lovely to hear that you and Yashiro are exploring other fun things to do in the bedroom, mon ami.
