[ 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.
Jyuto is pleased that Riou's coming around and becoming more physically affectionate with him again. Though he definitely isn't the cuddly type, Riou's very easy for him to fit against. It somehow doesn't feel excessive, either. ]
This has only brought us closer. We need that, without Samatoki here. I don't want these other divisions thinking that they can pick a fight with us just because he's missing now. We'll kick their asses with just the two of us.
Given our history of victories against the other present divisions, it may be troublesome.
[ They've beat Buster Bros, Fling Posse, and individually Riou has stood against both Sasara and partially Rosho, given the result of the beachside rap battles and won. They haven't defeated Matenrou yet, but if he weren't in Mad Trigger Crew, he would consider this the best time to pounce- without their leader, they aren't as strong. Jyuto is right. ]
Right. [ They aren't the only incomplete group, at least. Dotsuitare Hompo have two, Bad Ass Temple has its leader and then Buster Bros!!!'s lone member had been brought back. The longer Jyuto sits on this realization that he and Riou have been cut down to two, the more unhappy he feels about it. He'd really gotten used to the rhythm of having Samatoki here, the three of them able to drink and spend time together the way that they used to in Yokohama. Jyuto's never had to go through a period of having either of them missing, as he'd arrived in Prismatica last. In that regard, he's spoiled. ]
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hope he returns to us soon. Whichever Riou or Jyuto he's spending time with in his home world now are two lucky sons of bitches.
[ And even knowing that doesn't really lessen the blow. It really feels like one of them is missing without all three of them there, and Riou finds Jyuto's hand to give it a squeeze. ]
All right, since you're so sweet about it. [ Neither of them would likely have a choice, but at least if one of them were to vanish, the other would be able to remember this moment they're having now. A red gloved hand squeezes Riou's back. ]
Are you hungry? Let me buy you dinner to make up for being so secretive before.
The shops in Caihong are going to be our best bet. I know for certain that there are Chinese moonblessed here, and one of my underlings used to visit the neighborhood regularly.
[ Ah, his hitman. Yan Qing. Fond memories. ]
Where there's food there should be alcohol, but if not we can take something to go and buy drinks at the super market. [ Jyuto has been both sensitive and sentimental while drinking lately. Fits of either sadness or extreme affection are both very likely. ]
