[ He would've killed him, otherwise? Jyuto considers the weight of that, exhaling a cloud of smoke and tipping the ashes of his cigarette into a nearby tray. His body curls, tucking into the arm that reels him closer. When he closes his eyes, he thinks that he'd probably do something similar, but probably more drawn out and mentally excruciating. ]
It'd only be embarrassing because I felt sneaky. [ He snorts, and then takes another drag. Riou's never complained about the smell before, but after his next exhale, Jyuto feels like he should put the cigarette out despite only having lit it a while ago. Grinding it out follows. ]
But I'm grateful you had some self-restraint. [ Jyuto looks up at him, pressing a light, smoky kiss against the side of his face briefly. ]
It was the main reason I didn't want to tell Samatoki. Not because I'm not flattered that the two of you are willing to protect me, but because his lack of self-control would've likely soiled the potential of me using Daniel to work as my new grunt.
Even your gunshot made him threaten to turn his allies on me, and I thought I might have to extinguish it all. It reminded me of a yakuza turf war or something when he brought it up.
[ Jyuto says he was worried about Samatoki's reaction but truth be told, Riou was the one who has almost cost him his plan. Riou quietly holds Jyuto for a moment before soaking again. ]
I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
[ He really had just wanted to make sure Daniel knew that Jyuto was not standing alone. There would be consequences if he tried anything again. ]
I'm not upset. It felt nice to have somebody else angry.
[ Fucked up? Maybe a little. ]
It was harder than I thought it'd be, to go through it by myself. I thought it through as rationally as I could when I came to, but I was horrified when he killed me.
I thought it was really over. I have too much shit to do, still.
It's always going to make me angry if someone hurts you.
[ He doesn't want Jyuto to be hurt, even if he understands that some level of risk is necessary for his job. He just hopes that anyone who crosses Jyuto knows that they are going to receive zero mercy from Riou. Riou's arm pulls Jyuto a little closer for a moment, a squeeze of a hug more than an attempt to maneuver. ]
You should get a button that alerts me if you need assistance. I'll make certain you make it to everything you need to do.
[ He'll come kill anyone who tries to kill Jyuto. Life Alert summon your sniper. ]
[ He's very supportive of Jyuto taking care of him. If anyone has his back, he knows it's him. There's a reason that even elite military squads are still squads and not just lone operatives, and that's because they can't do it alone. ]
Oh definitely. Anyone would be. [ Jyuto peacocking, as is his nature to do so... ]
But even if you don't need it, it's the thought that counts. Do you think we could have something like that arranged? Could you make a device like that?
[ Even if he doesn't (he's sure he can figure it out-- the programming part should be easy, but he's less familiar with this world's technology, so that may take a minute) he's sure he can find the appropriate means to result in the same effect. ]
[ He really only hacked as far as to help protect Jyuto's identity to keep him safe. He respects his privacy unless he's looking for something in particular. ]
[ He knows him by a different username and has only talked to him over text so that's not helpful. Oh, when Riou finds out it's the same person as the kid he doesn't like. ]
If he's charging you, I can work for free.
[ Jyuto and he bang enough that there's no point in charging him to begin with. ]
He is. I wish I'd known SOLON had been you sooner. [ He implies his weird sad Prismatica police prostitution due to how currency works, but seems relieved that he can start skimping out on unnecessary payments to the underlings he's hired. ]
I always found it weird that he didn't want me to pay him. I thought he might be straight.
[ Riou has had relations with a number of people, but the only one he consistently goes back to is Jyuto. Solon sure af isn't straight. To punctuate that, he leans over to kiss the top of Jyutos head ]
Had you tried anything with anyone before we wound up in Lunatia? [ A little curious. He angles his chin up to look at Riou, two green eyes blinking. ]
Truthfully, I didn't even know you got horny until we came here. You were always so well-behaved back home.
I wasn't a 28-year-old virgin, Jyuto. I had no experience the receiving side of things before here, however.
[ But the rest of what he says makes Riou wonder just what Jyuto thinks of him. It sounds like he thought he was some kind of man above human needs. It's not the first time people have interpreted Riou as inexpressive or having less character than others. Riou never thought of himself that way. ]
There isn't much to get turned on over alone in the woods, and it's inappropriate to do so when focusing on the missions ahead of us.
You're welcome. [ Firstly. Jyuto smiles, proud of himself, and remembering that he'd put Riou in an unfamiliar role. ]
Of course I hadn't assumed you'd be a virgin, I just wondered if you'd had experience with men prior. The more you know. [ He gets comfortable and looks back ahead of himself. ] But that's a valid point. With things as they were, we didn't exactly have the same opportunities to explore the sorts of things we do here. Rap tournaments and everything. [ Jyuto's shoulders lift into a shrug. ]
Still, I think I'd always been interested. Too polite to bring it up, but...
I spent more time thinking about you than I do most people.
[ He doesn't know that he ever identified it as anything. Riou isn't the best at assessing situations like that, but he knows that he definitely liked Jyuto. A lot. He didn't mind at all that Jyuto invaded his privacy on the occasions he did, and he entrusted him with more than he did most people.
In essence, even if he wouldn't allow himself to fantasize about him, Jyuto had become special to him. ]
I like you, Jyuto.
[ He decides to just state it, for lack of a better means to express himself. Maybe it's a little grade-school of a confession after everything they've done together, but he thinks it gets the point across. ]
[ Jyuto thinks what they've done up until this point has implied that much, but hearing Riou put it in words so upfront like that still leaves room for Jyuto to find a way to be flustered. Caught a little off guard by it, though it makes perfect sense in correlation with the rest of the conversation, he struggles to figure out what to say in response at first. He isn't use to speaking directly about his feelings. Eventually, though, he collects himself enough to say it. ]
I like you too, Riou. [ Most importantly. That much is obvious. He isn't sure how to describe the bond that they have, but he can certainly acknowledge that it's there. ]
[ Riou knows. But he also finds sometimes it's important to share things you're feeling, particularly since he's been told that he's not the easiest person to read. It makes him particularly happy to hear Jyuto say it back though, even if he already knew it. He smiles and then leans in to kiss Jyuto softly. A sweet gesture compared to how they usually get. ]
[ The kiss between them lasts a few moments. There's no tongue or anything, something unusual for Jyuto who usually only kisses others during sex. Meaningful ones like this one are rare. His hand finds a place on Riou's chest to settle, fingers loosely curling against the thin, tight fabric of his shirt. When they break away, Jyuto feels playful, even while sentimental. ]
Oh, Solon. You're so cool. I've wanted you for so long.
Well, right now he's just you. [ Riou didn't laugh. Maybe his joke isn't that funny? :( ]
But before I imagined him... maybe a little bigger than Samatoki? I thought he'd have dark hair for some reason. And green eyes. I felt like he was always drinking Monster Energy drinks when you messaged me as him, probably just because of the computers thing. And then I assumed he'd have an extremely relaxed personality, like you could tell him anything and he wouldn't seem too bothered by it.
You're better than him. [ Sensing that the mood shifted somewhere between his Solon joke and the kiss from earlier. Jyuto wants to go back to how it was prior. ]
I didn't think that he shot Daniel himself. I figured that he had someone hired on the dark web or something, so the fact that you did it without help is much cooler.
