[There's a creaking sound from the rust and dust in Nero's brain... Isn't this like when Jason freaked out over Nero liking him as more than just a physical hook-up? When he gave him the book and--
Well, he should give Jason credit for not lighting a match and trying to burn things down right now. That's growth, probably.
Nero slowly gets up and wraps his arms loosely around Jason's waist from behind, resting his cheek against his back.]
That's fine. We can do that, just... what is it you're scared of, Jason?

Re: LATER,
It's just coffee.
[LOOKS BETWEEN THEM. He would like it if the people he loved most were able to exist? in the same space? for like 15 minutes?]
Re: LATER,
[ squints at Jason. she doesn’t move, but she does stay standing. ]
I solemnly swear I will not make it weird again.
Re: LATER,
Who said it was weird? This's perfectly normal.
Re: LATER,
At Shrike,]
You didn't make it weird. The coffee's nice.
Re: LATER,
And you’re always weird, Jason.
[ she sighs, and tilts her head at him. ]
Just forget everything I said earlier.
Re: LATER,
[he knows that is bullshit.
and he's not answering that last questioning look]
Re: LATER,
??????]
Did something happen...?
Re: LATER,
[ that’s arguable, but. ]
Also nothing happened, I was just feeling sentimental is all and apparently some people think that’s odd.
Re: LATER,
[he doesn't wanna talk about it, and--]
On a scale of weird to Gold, we all know I'm the one closest to him.
Which is kinda sad, when y'think about it.
Re: LATER,
Just 'cause you didn't have powers doesn't mean you ain't weird.
[at Shrike,]
You know he gets skittish 'bout people feeling nice things at him.
Re: LATER,
[ she takes a sip of her coffee. ]
I wasn’t even that nice. I called him stupid at least twice.
Re: LATER,
Re: LATER,
Jason, I know you're dodging the subject.
Whatever it is, I'm not gonna get mad. But I still wanna spend tonight with you.
Re: LATER,
[ she rolls her eyes, ]
And if I knew you’d lose your shit this much over me kissing you once on the cheek I wouldn’t have done it.
So you sit down and enjoy the rest of your anniversary, you absolute dumbass.
Re: LATER,
You run the whole "purity" thing by her?
[with a glance at Nero]
'Cause I think I can handle a cheek kiss. I've just never been that good at the ménage à trois concept.
Re: LATER,
[what's a menage]
Re: LATER,
...wait. How do you spell that.
[ she is. attempting to type it into her phone. what the fuck did he just say, blease, she doesn't know what "french" is, ]
Re: LATER,
It's a three way sex thing. 'Cause the French got a word for that.
Re: LATER,
'Sides, we're not having sex right now, are we?
Re: LATER,
Pasiap's balls, that was not what I was going for, I'm not that forward—
Re: LATER,
Even if "not right now."
Re: LATER,
Not... that I didn't enjoy it, but why are we jumping from 'cheek kiss' to 'threesome'?
Re: LATER,
[ actually there's like, some gears turning— ]
Wait, so it bothered you less when you thought I just thought you were physically attractive and not actually likable.
Re: LATER,
Just think it'd be better to keep the whole separate lives bit.
[a shrug.]
