Warning: Self-indulgent shippy/fluffy content

[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]

And here I thought I'd know myself better than you.

[The smirk remained on his lips, brow risen as he laced his fingers together behind his head. The ears leaned forward and his tail came to rest in his lap.]

[closedcircuit]

I think some people are harder on themselves than they need to be.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

And sometimes it's deserved.

[Come sit down, dammit.]

[closedcircuit]

[ But he's trying so hard to be good! ]

Only rarely.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Give in!]

Come now, sometimes people are good and sometimes they are bad and sometimes it's a grey area~

[closedcircuit]

Their actions may fall into those categories, but we can all pray for redemption. For everyone it requires a conscious effort not to stray.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Doesn't that get terribly difficult? You can't kick back and relax sometimes?

[closedcircuit]

As long as I keep going, it's alright. It's better not to relax, because then it can be hard to get going again.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Now, now.

All work and no play makes Ky a dull boy.

[closedcircuit]

I'm sorry if you find me boring, but I... My work is important.

[Even if he was still too tipsy for it at the moment.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Mine is as well, but I've found that if you overwork yourself, you end up making mistakes more often.

[Fine, have an encouraging smack of wind at your back.]

[closedcircuit]

[Mistakes like letting himself be moved forward, taking a seat on the couch again?]

I--

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Well, you can try the couch, but Jade's arm being out and grabbing to pull Ky onto his lap might hinder that.]

Periodic breaks are key to a healthy lifestyle.

[closedcircuit]

[Ky flailed one arm around a little, to make sure he didn't do an uncontrolled fall, but he felt more confused than anything else.

Were they having a conversation? He couldn't concentrate on it.]

Y-you...

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I am only interested in your health~

[Innocent as you please with that grin and keeping his arms looped around Ky.]

[closedcircuit]

Mm...

[But surely this isn't good for him, since it feels like his heart and breath have both suddenly sped up, reacting to the closeness.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[He moves his hands up Ky's back in massaging motions, keeping a careful eye on his face. His fingers and knuckles rolled over the fabric-covered muscles, looking for sore spots or hot spots that might help to loosen the other up a bit. The stick up his rear seemed so stuck Jade might have to consider a full pelvic exam just to investigate the issue. For science, of course.]

[closedcircuit]

[ That Ky is incredibly stiff shouldn't actually be a surprise, but how quickly it starts to feel good is something that he wasn't expecting. ]

Aah.

[ The moan slips out entirely unintended as the pain of having something massaged slips into pleasure. Ky winces when he realizes he made the noise, clamps his mouth shut in an effort to pretend it didn't happen. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Not a surprise at all, and Jade is content with shifting to pull Ky in towards him as his hands continue to work, cautious of Ky getting fussy.

He smirks a bit and his fingers and hands keep moving, working on Ky's lower back and wondering if there are any clothing edges he can take advantage of as he works at getting Ky to relax more.]

[closedcircuit]

[ Because of the uncomfortableness of the tail, Ky had forgone the usual uniform in favor of a simple button-down long-sleeved shirt, paired with trousers and a belt, along with his usual gloves and shoes. The sword had been left at home as well, and there's still a pleasant humm of alcohol in his bloodstream. It keeps him from getting fussy, and he can feel himself unwinding.

It feels dangerous. ]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade's hands and knuckles explored the expanse of Ky's back, though moved to gently knead at his sides soon enough. Slipping under the shirt, his hands traveled over skin and continued the massaging motion, Jade emitting a small hum as he leaned in to place small kisses against the crook of Ky's neck and jaw.

Sure he'd like to move faster, but doing so might scare the boy off.]

[closedcircuit]

Jade?

[Ky's voice is soft, not enough to disturb himself, like he's waiting for Jade to explain to him why he's doing this, and how Ky should be reacting. He knows he should pull away, but he hasn't, feels too comfortable to want to.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[The response is a small, rumbling and questioning 'mm..?'. One that's not meant to interrupt, but to ask a very quiet question. He didn't want to disturb someone who seemed to be enjoying the attention.

His hands just kept moving, rolling and kneading and massaging firmly, but not painfully.]

[closedcircuit]

Are you..comfortable?

[That wasn't the question he'd been going to ask, but the original one seemed to be less important.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade pulled away from Ky's neck a bit to look up at him, ears twitching to keep facing the other as his tail moved to gently wrap around Ky's.]

Quite.
