This is Brendan Frye. If it's urgent, you might have a better chance o' tracking me down on foot. If I'm not answering, chances are I've gotten in over my head with something, not that I'm refusin' to give you the time of day. So leave me some words and I'll get back to you as soon as I don't have a fire to put out.

Isn't there a leeway period? They call them 'Romeo and Juliet' laws? I looked into it in Florida, Otabek is three years older than Yuri.

Specifically? I don't know. It's a lot to think about. I'm not sure where to start. I have been doing some reading, but I am more of a hands on learner...

I suppose I will let you know how it goes. If it goes at all.

it varies by state and, in the south, by sex act. it's not something i have to worry about right away - we're not really at that stage in our relationship - but knowing makes him more comfortable discussing it, so i've been doing some reading.

i'm not even gonna jokingly offer to help you hands-on. mostly because it would break manabu's heart and i'd sooner shoot myself than do that. but most people don't have hands-on learning prior and the human race has managed so far.

don't worry about it too much. there's more to life than sex, and yes, i know coming from me that's fucking hilarious, but still.

From:

lempereur

I was not asking you to in the first place, so why say anything at all if you would rather shoot yourself?

I know there is. I told you before, it isn't a major priority, but two boyfriends is twice the frustration, isn't it? I can't say that I am not thinking about it.

Not excessively. A healthy amount.

From:

pale_blue_arrow

because there was a point i'd have done it anyway and i'm still coming to terms with that. psychology is a harsh mistress.

given how frustrated i am with my singular boyfriend yeah, i imagine this is getting obnoxious to think about. at least all the sexual tension building up should make everything amazing when it happens. gotta stay positive.

alternatively you could mope the way i do but you lack the appropriate music for that.

From:

lempereur

that is a positive way of looking at it.

I am not moping.

From:

pale_blue_arrow

and it gives you time to think up romantic things to say. it's not all bad.

with that haircut i refuse to believe you're not moping at least a little.

From:

lempereur

It has become apparent that all of my romantic declarations are doomed to be spur of the moment affairs. I will no longer try to fight it.

It has worked well enough so far.

I am not moping. Beka likes it.

From:

pale_blue_arrow

that's probably for the best.

told you that haircut was a godsend for picking up guys. although i feel like i should warn you whoever has the longest hair tends to get it tugged on during sex. human instinct is stupid like that. just roll with it; they mean well.

i mean i haven't met them. but i assume they mean well, they love you dearly, etc. or futaba would've used her internet skills to rain doom down upon them by now.

From:

lempereur

That isn't a problem. I enjoy it, in the heat of the moment.

[ You were right all along, Brendan... ]

Yuri's is longer, though.

Of course. Yuri hasn't said so yet, but I think he does. He shows it.

She would absolutely rain hellfire onto them if given a good enough reason.

From:

pale_blue_arrow

[He fucking called it. Privately, Brendan fist bumps the air before responding.]

good. dodged that bullet, then. and unlike me your hair's straight so nobody's going to get their hand stuck.

ask yuri if he's alright with it, don't assume he is. even if he's into it, the consideration goes a long way towards making things more comfortable. + it's romantic, kinda.

i kinda figured that with futaba around i don't have to worry about your boyfriends mistreating you. she'd take care of it before they even knew what happened. i love that little gremlin but she's like the nuclear option of your/my friends.

From:

lempereur

I meant love, not hair pulling...

Though I am fairly certain his thoughts on that are positive, based on previous encounters.

You have yet to even see her in action. She sent our calling card out on every screen in Shibuya, and that was after faking Akira's death from the inside of a police station.

From:

pale_blue_arrow

look at you, all grown up and considering your partner's needs. <3

but seriously as much shit as i give you, i really do think you three will make it work.

...how can someone that cute be that terrifying? i'm both impressed and really, really glad i'm on her good side.

From:

lempereur

Of course I am. If not, there would be no reason to be nervous.

She has a dangerous skill set, that is all. Even without her Persona.

From:

pale_blue_arrow

oh, there's always a reason to be nervous, even if you're selfish. it's a magical moment like that.

i hope if i anger her she'll look at crabsuke's gentle visage and reconsider destroying me

From:

lempereur

Why crabsuke, of all things?

Edited Date: 2017-11-19 10:01 pm (UTC)

From:

pale_blue_arrow

do you mean why did i get her crabsuke or why did she name him that?

From:

lempereur

The name. I thought you put her up to it.

From:

pale_blue_arrow

i JOKED she should call him that. then she said it was 'perfect' and here we are.

i think our shared logic was, a crab is as close to a lobster as those toys get, and lobsters are your ~aesthetic~, so. there you go.

From:

lempereur

There is more to me than lobsters.

From:

pale_blue_arrow

i know there is. but is there more to you that could be conveyed via plush toy?

...other than the kitsune plush that same company makes but they were sold out of that when i was on my way to visit futaba. so kitsuke remains a distant dream. though i suppose now i know what to get futaba for christmas.
