[Having a drink or two hadn't seemed like that bad of an idea and now that he's done it Ky still doesn't think it was one. Although he does have to keep glancing back at his new tail, worried he's going to knock something or someone over.

It's kind of a pleasant feeling, being drunk, like it makes the whole world seem a little softer, a little less like something Ky has to march through to get to his destination. And it seems a little less important to keep himself separate from other people just to keep his distance, and a little more like he would kind of like a hug. He stops to think about it, knowing that there might be consequences and that the alcohol he's had is probably fuzzing his brain up a little, but he thinks he can handle whatever might happen. It seems worth it, to be a little less lonely.

Ky makes his way to the bar, where Jade is working, and gives him a half-smile, and a nod. Jade also looks like a fox, perhaps that means he also wants a hug.]

Jade, can I talk to you for a minute?

Comments

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Alas, unfortunately not.

[Jade's fighting between dignity and backrubs and dignity is losing as he settles happily like an oversized cat.]

[closedcircuit]

[ Oh, well. That does feel good. Ky makes another happy little noise. ]

Well, there are other things for that, at least.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade's large, bushy tail shifted and moved to rest around one of Ky's arms lightly as Jade tucked his legs up a bit. He's rather glad he'd accepted the move now.]

[closedcircuit]

[ That certainly made him feel secure, and Ky shifted a little to press himself better against Jade. It's embarrassing, but too comfortable, as Ky shifts to rest his head on Jade's shoulder, inhaling the scent of him. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade's ears flick about as Ky moves, but past that, he does nothing, contentedly shifting a bit to press against Ky.]

I hope you're not uncomfortable.

[Said lazily, like Jade's asking more out of courtesy than actual intent to move.]

[closedcircuit]

Ah, no.

[Ky presses his cheek against Jade's hair for a moment.]

I'm quite comfortable.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade shifted and rolled over a bit, pressing his cheek up against Ky's in an odd nuzzling motion.]

Good to hear, as I wasn't keen on moving.

[closedcircuit]

[ That...felt nice as well, and Ky let the sensation pleasantly wash over him for a second before he turned his face a little more, pressing his lips to Jade's and then...he froze like that, the realization of what he was doing making it's way through his fuzzy brain.

He drew back. ]

I'm so sorry, Jade, I--

[ His cheeks were turning red now, and he shifted suddenly uncomfortably under Jade. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[The sudden kissing was an odd sensation, but not unpleasant. He felt a small bit of red creep up his cheeks and his expression was one of surprise.

But he was a bit curious as well. As Ky fumbled with words, Jade leaned his head up, craning his neck to place a quick little kiss under Ky's chin.]

[closedcircuit]

[Ky's words stopped again as Jade's lips made contact, not quite sure what he should say to that.

Did that mean Jade hadn't objected to the kiss? But he should object, such a thing was wrong. Even if it had felt good.

Ky huffed a little, chasing his own thoughts, then sighed, hands falling to his side.]

I think you should probably get off of me... I'm sorry.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade blinked a bit, some of the curiosity coming over his face again with a very tiny amount of veiled pouting.

He shouldn't be, really. It was already rather out of the norm for Jade to be this cuddly to someone. The city really got to you after a while, and the curses certainly did have an odd effect on people. But Jade sits up grudgingly, tail releasing Ky's arm.]

You can be quite a rude boy, can't you?

[He was comfy, too.]

[closedcircuit]

I don't...

[Rude? That wasn't his intent at all, and he didn't like being called it, but he liked being called a boy even less. His ears flicked back.]

I'm an adult, Jade.

[This wasn't Sol, he should be able to recognize that fact.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade smirked and stood, his tail shifting to curl around one of his legs.]

Oh? Well alright, then~

[After stretching, Jade shifted and headed right back towards the bar.]

Was there anything else you needed?

[closedcircuit]

[Ky stayed sitting, as he watched Jade stand.

He couldn't help feeling that he'd done something wrong, and he missed the contact. But surely the wrong thing would have been to continue.]

No, it's...

I'll go. I'm sorry.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade expression remained a passively amused one as he watched Ky, his tail twitching back and forth.]

Sorry? Whatever for?

[closedcircuit]

I-that's...

[Forced to confront it made Ky feel even more self-conscious.]

For being inappropriate.

[And immoral, a part of his own brain added.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Oh? You worry far too much.

[closedcircuit]

I--

[Now he feels a little embarrassed about his worrying.]

Sometimes it's necessary.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Necessary? How so?

[He just likes watching you squirm.]</small]

[closedcircuit]

[Well, Ky will do that a lot, does it some more now.]

To...keep from giving in to any desires that may be...sinful.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Is that so? Now I'm terribly curious~

[He leans forward on the bartop, a mischievous grin not so subtly slipping over his face. His fox's tail idly swings behind him as his ears perked forward. You have his attention, Ky.]

[closedcircuit]

[Ky turns even redder, shakes his head a little.]

I-- Ahh...

Th-there's not really anything to be curious about.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Desires are curious things.

[closedcircuit]

And better not thought of, unless in the...proper context.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

What kind of context?

[On the couch seemed well enough.]
