From:

Yes, well. ["Hit someone" in this instance substitutes "drink someone dry", because Gojyo does draw the line at volunteering to be murdered.]

Just putting it out there.

From:

howheendures

[He gently squeezes his hand.]

It's nice to have options.

[Speaking of which -] Didn't the movie show how the erotic suppressed can boil up as violence? [He teasing him a little.]

From:

cigsandbeer

[Gojyo snorts, and puts his free hand on his chest in mock-outrage.]

Is that all you think about?

[And by now, Gojyo's gotten over himself enough that he's leaning in to kiss Armand. ]

From:

howheendures

[Armand rests his forehead against Gojyo's a moment.]

I also think of the use of imagery from silent films of that time.

[He kisses him again.]

Which do you prefer to think on?

From:

cigsandbeer

Oh my god, [Gojyo snorts,] shut up.

[Translation: he prefers kissing.]

From:

howheendures

Culture is important.

[Luckily for Goyjo, he prefers kissing to a detailed break down of the movie.

He pulls back slightly, though stays close after the kiss.]

Have you been well?

From:

cigsandbeer

[Oh. We're not... continuing the kissing? Okay. Gojyo looks a little taken aback, but once again he doesn't complain.]

Uh-- Yeah, pretty much. Got in a bit of an argument with Hakkai and his husband, but-- [he shrughs] it's mostly cool now.

From:

howheendures

That is good.

What did you argue over? [Armand has always shown himself as uninterested in gossip for gossip’s sake, so the question is about Goyjo’s feelings.]

From:

cigsandbeer

Eh, it's just... we don't get along, and Hakkai tried to get us to get along, and... yeah.

It's nothing more juicy than that.

From:

howheendures

I didn't think it would be. [He presses a hand against Gojyo's cheek.] I can still wish for it to be easier for you.

[He's been there. ...If you use a very broad definition of 'been there'.

He kisses Gojyo again, because what better way is there to deal with... everything, really?]

From:

cigsandbeer

[There really is no better way.

Gojyo kisses back enthusiastically, burying his fingers in Armand's hair. At least he's getting a lot more confident about this.]

From:

howheendures

[Armand approves of Gojyo's confidence.

He enjoys it just on its own, and because it can be slightly soothing to the raw nerves still sensitive from the end of his last relationship. And whether or not that's a good thing in general, at it does mean that he likes being nice to Gojyo.

It's better than the alternative!]

Do you want to try something new? [he murmurs, when the pause a moment because Gojyo has to breath]

From:

cigsandbeer

M-mm? [mutters Gojyo, already half-hard and dazed with horniness.]

What'd you have in mind?

From:

howheendures

I doubt you have heard it phrased διαμηρισμός.

[Somehow, he doesn't think Gojyo grew up in the same sort of household that he did. From what he's observed of Gojyo, he's not sure that it's a different as it might seem on the surface.

Everyone has a history.]

Coitus interfemoris?

From:

cigsandbeer

Uh... sex in-between-something...?

[Gojyo's Latin only goes so far.]

From:

howheendures

[He's known people whose Latin doesn't extend that far.]

The thighs.

It give much pleasure. You should see how often it's memorialized on Greek vases.

From:

cigsandbeer

Uh.

You want me to do that to you...?

[It doesn't sound terribly emasculating, having it done to you. Gojyo isn't entirely against the idea, either way.]

From:

howheendures

I would enjoy that, and I believe you would too.

[Now that Gojyo doesn't flee from the concept, there's such a wide range of ways to be with someone.]

From:

cigsandbeer

...Okay. Sure.

I. I wanna make you feel good, too. [As much as Armand claims to enjoy giving, and as much as he claims he doesn't need Gojyo to reciprocate, there does come a point when Gojyo feels like kind of a shitty partner if he's not giving anything back.]

From:

howheendures

You do.

[He means it, but it doesn't mean he doesn't also enjoy other positions. He kisses Gojyo again.]

Come to my room.

From:

cigsandbeer

[Gojyo kisses back, enthusiastically, yet-- Ah.

Right. An empty theatre. Maybe not the best place for a liaison.

...Gojyo weaves his fingers into Armand's, gently.]

Sure.

From:

howheendures

[There are more comfortable locations, especially with someone who's less enthusiastic than vampires are at using blood to take care of any friction.

Most people are less enthusiastic about blood than vampires, in Armand's experience.

He squeezes Gojyo's fingers gently in turn. He's sweet, and it's nice to be able to embrace that.]

From:

cigsandbeer

[An alarming number of people who know Gojyo are under the delusion that he is a kind/sweet/good person. Gojyo has no clue where they get this ridiculous idea.

Gojyo does let go of Armand's hand as they exit the Enclosure. Because nothing says "nothing homosexual is going on here" as two guys exiting the Enclosure and immediately heading towards one of their cabins.]

[Armand would've been surprised if Gojyo had held on. They've managed so much open communication - what else could you call establishing that Gojyo isn't gay, and that that doesn't matter? - he'd expect Gojyo would say something if he decided he was no longer heterosexual.

Armand would be willing to pretend to be with Gojyo if he decided he wanted to try to make his married friend jealous, because he can be generous to, but that's also something that would require communication.

Yet another reason he should have his ability to read minds returned to him.

Armand's cabin isn't exactly bright and cheerful, but the subdued colors don't go to somber even if just how expensive everything is can be missed if you don't share the same cultural perspective.]

From:

cigsandbeer

Clearly this is proof of what a good friend Armand is.

A lot of the expensive items in Armand's cabin do escape Gojyo's notice due to cultural differences... but a few pieces here and there come with enough noticeable weight, enough effortless but obvious craft that some long-buried thief-instinct scratches at his brain as he looks over the place.

He doesn't act on it, of course. Instead, he puts and arm around Armand's shoulders.

"Nice place. Looks fancy."

It's repertory theatre, Mr. Molloy. It's how one endures.
