backdated to mid-morning yesterday, oops!

[fading]

[if anyone has attempted to contact Nami to wish him a Merry Christmas, they'll have been informed that the number is currently not in service. this might have something to do with the fact that, inside Nami's trashed apartment, his phone is sitting in a puddle of paintwater, sparking. Nami's nowhere to be found!


there's a frantic Kai calling for Nami as he makes his way through the park. he can feel that Nami's still in the dressing room, but there's a wall between their connection so solid he can't sense anything other than that.]



(ooc: Nami got a heart for Christmas. unfortunately, he's had a lot of negativity 'bottled up' so to speak, and the sudden onslaught of proper emotion wasn't taken well. he's in hiding, having taken a portal straight from his apartment! responses will be from Kai, at least at first, despite the fact that the post is from Nami.)

I don't have anything to say. I think Hachibi's feeling bad about it, though. I can't really tell.

[he wasn't worried about her hitting him, don't worry. P: ]

[dawnrise]

[She looks... Not much like she believes him, but she's not going to say that. She shrugs instead, looking to the Christmas tree.]

I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad.

[f1re0nthesun]

It's a good thing. If you ever want to talk to him or yell at him or anything, you just have to ask, by the way.

[since the last time she talked to him was in November. although actually that hasn't been that long, since this is still Christmas Day.]

[dawnrise]

Maybe tomorrow.

[But not today. Not on Christmas. She's not going to do that. She looks relaxed now. Also, she never said it was a bad thing, she just doesn't want them thinking she was trying to manipulate Axel or Hachibi by showing off her scar. She doesn't really believe he would feel bad for it.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[Axel's gonna slide down into a slump on the couch, eyes on the Christmas tree, even though the movie's still on. there's a series of quiet thumps; Apricot's headed upstairs, probably to nap with Nami.]

Whenever. Now we need something new to talk about.

[wait for it....]

[dawnrise]

[Oh right, the movie. She's probably concentrating on that now that the subject of Hachibi has come up.]

Any suggestions?

[f1re0nthesun]

....did that advice of mine come in handy yet?

[if she can't tell which advice, the fact that he's not looking at her might clue her in. he IS expecting her to hit him for this.]

[dawnrise]

[She couldn't, which is why she turns back to him. But the realization creeps up on her face in no time, as does a ferocious blush. Screw hitting. She's trying to shove him off the couch with her feet.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[now he's laughing, and lets her push him off the couch until he's laying on his back on the floor, his feet still up on the cushions.]

Looks like a yes to meeeee~.

[he deserves whatever punishment you dole out, Riku.]

[dawnrise]

I can't believe you just asked me that. On Christmas.

[She's a pretty impressive shade of red right now, and scoots along the couch after him so she can squish her heels into his gut. You bastard.]

[f1re0nthesun]

[he hasn't laughed this hard in ages and ages, and doesn't seem to care that there are feet jabbing into his stomach.]

I'm sorry, I had to ask!

[dawnrise]

[Those are toes in Christmas socks stabbing his ribs with even more effort. She hopes this hurts!]

You did not! There's no had to about it. You just asked me if I ever gave Red a blowjob.

[Isn't it cute how her voice got quieter at the end of that?]

[f1re0nthesun]

I was curious, and you managed to ask me about it in the first place!

[he props himself up on his elbows, suddenly looking very serious.]

I'm really very proud that you finally managed to say it out loud. [pause] So have you?

[dawnrise]

[He's done it now. She's furious beyond words. Her mouth keeps opening and closing like she's trying to form words, but nothing's coming out! This goes on for a long moment, and then finally she's left just staring at him.]

Are you serious?

[f1re0nthesun]

[the fake seriousness gives way to real seriousness, and he sits up a little more.]

Not if you don't want. You should know you never have to answer when I ask stuff like that, Riku. I was flattered when you asked me about it in the first place, but I'm just giving you shit about it. It's your business, and not mine.

[dawnrise]

[Nope. She plants her foot on his chest and shoves. Get back down where you belong, you jerk. She looks terribly embarrassed but still mostly annoyed.]

You're right. It's none of your business.

[She huffs, and considers throwing her coffee cup at him, but it's a nice cup and Kai would probably be sad if she destroyed more stuff from his kitchen.]

...but I have.

[f1re0nthesun]

[he beams at her again at that but quickly stifles it, and lays back down under the press of her foot. he's still looking expectant, but like hell is he saying anything else about it (directly). just a simple yey or nay would do, Riku.]

[dawnrise]

You're not getting details.

[That was fast.]

[f1re0nthesun]

I don't want details, that would be weird. But I am curious about whether or not it was a terrible experience for you. A one-word answer will suffice, and you can even hit me afterwards, and I promise that's the last question I have about it.

[he loves you Riku, really he does. be happy that he didn't really just come out and say "so have you given Red that blowjob yet".]

[dawnrise]

... If it was a terrible experience I would have stopped the first time.

[There. Does that answer everything?]

[f1re0nthesun]

[ 8O it answers EVERYTHING and he would get up and twirl her if he wasn't laying on the floor with her foot on his chest. this icon face, Riku. after a moment of beaming sunnily at her:]

Okay, so you should ask me something embarrassing now, to get back at me for that or whatever.

[...good luck finding something that embarrasses him.]

[dawnrise]

[She would kick him in the nuts if he made a big deal out of that. God. She's going to cross her ankles and use him as a footstool.]

Yeah right. Like what?

[f1re0nthesun]

[he seems to be perfectly comfy where he is on the floor!]

Hmm, good point. Well, here, I'll just tell you something that's kind of embarrassing for me. The entire foundation of my knowledge of sex came from Xigbar's stash of porn.

[dawnrise]

[Riku looks torn between horror and trying to figure out if he's spouting bullshit.]

[f1re0nthesun]

I'm not even exaggerating. I figured out some of the basics on my own, y'know, as you do when you have hands and hormones and a lot of free time, but it took Xigbar leaving for a week-long mission before I could raid his stash, and after that Vexen gave me a couple of books to read on the subject, which he was way more flustered about than I was. But most of the stuff involving other people came from the porn. It kind of explains a lot, doesn't it?

[he still considers himself better off than his Roxas, who was not only brought up by these crazy older jinchuuriki dudes but got the Talk from Vexen and possibly some of the others.]
