[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...]
[ Doumeki nods. He wouldn't share this with many people, but Sycamore helped him discover this about himself, so he just keeps talking. ]
I don't think I enjoyed my time with the women I was with, before. I did it out of necessity...
[ When a strong woman comes onto you, you don't turn her down, right? That had been Doumeki's only experience with sex before Yashiro... and before he discovered that men are hot, actually. ]
I think it is easier, there is a larger visual aid to know if you are doing well.
[ Ah, now they're trading tips about oral, huh...Well, Doumeki has well and truly embraced his identity as a gay man but this is his first time really discussing it.
Also he just hands Sycamore a napkin to deal with his little beer ejaculation problem, it's fine. ]
It has been so much better with Yashiro-san and Rosho-san. [ He's gonna order them another round, oh no. ] I think I have a "type."
[Sycamore is incredibly honoured to be sharing this pivotal moment with you, Doumeki...even if he's covered in beer and they're both rapidly approaching drunk. But in a way, that makes it all the more fun! He certainly wouldn't be quite this...open if he were sober. More out of respect for Doumeki than any sense of proprietary, but still!
...
...hmm. Maybe he's been hanging around with Yashiro too much. Anyway! That napkin is gracefully accepted, and Sycamore pats at his face, watching the way the beer slides down his fringe with a fond look. Almost as if it reminds him of something....hmmm...what could that be....]
A 'large visual aid' is certainly a good way of putting it, isn't it...
[...
....what. were they talking about, he's gotten lost in thought once more-]
...ah yes, men! Men are also excellent. I think it's fantastic that you've really become comfortable with who you are, Doumeki.
[You've come so far!]
Nothing wrong with having a type. I've discovered that I've got one as well! At least when it comes to men, that is. But then, is it really a type if it's super specific? I mean, how many massive, bearded, redheaded men are wandering around? I think you've got the right idea. Yashiro is very attractive! Quite pretty, actually, but in a masculine way. Does that make sense? I think it makes sense. Lysandre is also pretty in that manly sort of way. Plus they both look so good in suits! I actually really like those three-pieces that Yashiro always wears? The waistcoats suit him. Maybe I should convince Lysandre to try one! Oh, that's a good idea....
[...the more beer you feed him, the more he will ramble....]
[ Doumeki hangs around Yashiro too much, it's ok. He would argue that it's only enriched his life, and would probably fight anyone who disagrees. That's just who he is... ]
Mm.
[ He nods. He's daydreaming about Yashiro's dick too, don't worry. ]
I am glad that I am where I am, and that I could meet you and grow closer to Yashiro-san.
[ And as for types, well... Doumeki is more than happy to nod and listen to Sycamore's rambles as he enjoys his beer. He's very good at listening, you see. ]
I believe it makes sense. His fashion sense is very smart. He always looks beautiful in everything he wears, but I think his vests make him look... dashing.
[ Even Doumeki gets stars in his eyes thinking about Yashiro in a waistcoat. He is so in love... and so completely missing the talk about Lysandre, I'm sorry. He's stupid. ]
[At least they're both equally stupid, after a few (or a fair few, at this rate) drinks...]
Ah, I'm so happy I met you too, Doumeki....
[What a shame that there's this table between them, so he can't go in for a hug! He'll just have to settle with reaching over and clapping Doumeki on the shoulder, keeping his hand there as he continues to ramble.]
This place has been such an adventure for us both, no? We've learned so much! I'm proud of us!
[ Doumeki would even accept a hug right now, he is in that good a mood. I mean, getting to talk about Yashiro? And getting fucked by Yashiro? And having a beer with a friend? These are all good things. ]
Yes. I am happy that we could learn so much. We are lucky to be here.
[ He means it, too. Wow... friends. They're friends. He's almost surprised by how nice this is, tbh. ]
It really is nice...this isn't even something I could talk about with Lysandre. Although - okay - to be fair, I have, but he just finds it amusing. You...
[He'll squeeze Doumeki's shoulder, rocking slightly...maybe it is time to lay off the beers...]
...you get it. You get what it is like. I am not the teacher here! We are both...learners. Together. It's beautiful, Doumeki.
[Nodding...too much nodding, actually, and still a lot of squeezing..
I agree. Sex is a beautiful thing. I am glad we could learn together as well.
[ Doumeki nods, reaching out to steady Sycamore and hold him by the shoulder as well. He's drunk too, but he's a very steady drunk. He's got the tolerance of an ox. ]
I can carry you home if you would like, Sensei. It may be time to call it a night.
no subject
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!

I'm sure you can relate, though!

[...ooh! He'll snap his fingers and look excited, as if he's just had a shot of divine inspiration.]
You know, that could be something fun! Food play! You know, whipped cream and the like. Yashiro has a massive sweet tooth, after all!
