...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.
[ Doumeki's getting all the dirt Yashiro has wanted for so long, this is great! And yeah, Doumeki has no issue sharing any of this because he lacks a lot of those preconceptions that Yashiro has so much trouble with...
But Doumeki nods, happy to be starting on their third round. It takes a lot more than two beers to get him drunk. ]
It is easy for me to tell with the boss. He is so expressive. But he is so... insistent. Stubborn. He would still rather neglect himself.
[ Doumeki shares a look with Sycamore. He Gets it. He never thought he could share so much in common with the man, but here they are, first-time bottom besties. ]
[Oohh, he gets it...he gets it! Sycamore nods enthusiastically after they share that look, taking (yet another) sip of beer (the waitresses here sure are fast)...]
It's almost like they're...I don't know. Afraid to be vulnerable, or something similar. I know Lysandre still thinks I'm going to get upset and leave him, even though he says he doesn't. I just...
[...have a sigh. Time for a piece of takoyaki.
...or two pieces, these are really good.]
How do you convince them that it's okay? That it's fine? They're so complicated.
[These damn crime lords and their damn issues....]
Ah, I'm sorry Doumeki. We are supposed to be talking about sex! Let us talk about sex again, if you like.
[ They have found their wavelength and they are On It now. ]
That is undoubtedly the case.
[ Doumeki takes a sip of his beer too, nodding. ]
The boss believes he is not good enough for me. I believe this is why he... both pushes me away, and fears I will leave him.
[ Doumeki sighs, the sip of beer he takes is not small. ]
If you discover a way to convince him otherwise, let me know. I would like to know as well.
[ But all that said, he grabs another mouthful of rice and shakes his head. ]
We can talk about whatever you wish, Sensei. [ He'll start. ] I believe I will try to cook dinner for my next date with the boss. I hope he likes that.
Trust me, if I can discover the formula, I'll patent it.
[That's said with a smile, though, even if it is a tired one. What a good way to sum it up...at least Lysandre hasn't actively tried to push him away, just waited for what he considered an inevitability. He's not sure which method would be more draining.
Anyway! They have a new topic, so he'll jump on it.]
Ah, dinner! Dinner is always a fine choice. Besides, if the dinner is good enough, you might also be able to cook breakfast the next morning, no?
[He is well aware that this implies Yashiro needs to be wined and dined to get him into bed, which....god, the thought is laughable. So laughable, that he'll actually laugh.]
[ Doumeki nods. They both have difficult partners that they love dearly. That's a good note to bond with, Doumeki has found he likes having things with common in people. Especially when they're things connected to Yashiro somehow. ]
I don't think that will be a problem.
[ He's.... still Doumeki, after all. So Sycamore's joke flies over his head. But he's happy that Sycamore is happy... ]
[ Go on. Doumeki has no idea what that is, but if it involves sweets, Yashiro will like it. After all, they did pretty well with the chocolates on their dates. ]
The boss loves sweets. It's cute how he gets so excited about them.
[ Just, you know, putting that out there since he's starting to get pretty buzzed. ]
[Sycamore will nod enthusiastically at that - perhaps a little too enthusiastically, but Doumeki isn't the only one here getting rather buzzed...]
Yes, so cute! All you need to get started is one of those cans of whipped cream. You just spray it on yourself, and he licks it off! Done! Easy! So simple!
[He'll even helpfully mime the action of spraying whipped cream, adding in the 'ccssshhhhkk' sound the can makes. It's important, okay!]
But don't just stop at whipped cream! Pick his favourites! You could use honey - don't let it get in any hair down below, trust me on this - or syrup, or...anything! Look, if I can be blunt...
[-and he'll lean on the table (slightly. missing the table at first, oh god, how many beers has he had?!), beckoning Doumeki to come closer-]
Mon ami, I'm sure if you poured any kind of sweet liquid on your dick, Yashiro would be thrilled to help clean it off. You know what I'm saying?
[ Huh..... Having the boss lick him clean would definitely be something. He'll need a moment to think about that.
Doumeki, your jaw is open. He's gaping a bit. Hm. Oh, but Sycamore is still talking, isn't he? Doumeki closes his mouth and leans closer. He was definitely not drooling, ok.
He nods. Sycamore is completely right. ]
He would. He has told me he loves my dick.
[ Yep, they're drunk. Though tbh Doumeki would say this sober, too. It's as close to saying "I love you" as Yashiro has gotten... ]
[He is always right. Always! Just trust him! Even moreso now, when his filter has all but disappeared.]
Of course he does. I'm sure it's wonderful! A dick to be proud of.
[Have a very loving (and wobbly) pat on the shoulder, Doumeki...be proud of your dick! Be proud of it! Especially since they both know how many dicks Yashiro has seen...to love Doumeki's must mean it's an excellent dick.
...they should probably change the subject or they're just going to talk about dicks for the rest of the night, oh no-]
I never...considered how much fun it would be. To be with a man. You know? And Lysandre...
[He'll trail off there, instead waving his hands in the air (and almost spilling beer on his head, since he's still holding his glass) and mouthing 'big' rather emphatically.]
It's just...really exciting! Different! I'm having such a good time, Doumeki!
[ Doumeki is absolutely not uncomfortable talking about his dick. It's when there's two of them that he starts to blush... ]
Thank you, sensei.
[ He's proud of it too!! Yashiro holds it in high regard and he openly admits it, that's something to be proud of. ]
I understand. [ He nods. ] I had only been with women, before I met Yashiro-san. It is very different. It had never felt like this.
[ Exciting... different... Doumeki's glad they seem to be on the same page, even if he doesn't share the same level of gesticulation. Before Yashiro, even before ending up in prison, his life had been so... aimless. Now he has a goal in life, and someone worth living for. And the sex is also very, very good. ]
It is a very good time. I am glad the boss could help me realize it.
[The level of gesticulation doesn't seem to be dropping any time soon, if the way Sycamore furiously nods along to what Doumeki is saying is any indication.]
Yes, yes! I too had only been with women! Now don't get me wrong, I looooove women...
[Hang on, he needs to stare dreamily off at the wall for a moment...w o m e n....good...
...
...what were they talking about? Oh, right, dicks-]
...but it's so interesting to explore the other side! You know? Although I have to say, oral sex is so much more work for men than for women, isn't it?! But then I just...feel so satisfied by the conclusion, you know? It's a lot more obvious when men-
[-he'll make another one of those fun gesticulations, this time miming an explosion - oops, he actually did spill beer on his head, this time - oh well, at least it wasn't much!-]
-you know? But I like it. I also really like this beer!
[Even if it is currently dripping from his fringe...]
no subject

I felt like a virgin all over again!

I am glad he was my first time.

We had not switched very much, I was thinking perhaps... of a compromise. With him on top of me, but me inside of him.
[ He's just never going to not be bright red, but now he's said it, he can't take it back! ]
no subject
Ooh, that's a good idea! I think he'd definitely like that. I should keep that position in mind myself.

I think it would suit him as well.

Yes... it seems as though it may require a lot of work, so I will have to figure out how to broach the idea with him.

You know, that could be something fun! Food play! You know, whipped cream and the like. Yashiro has a massive sweet tooth, after all!
