[Lexaeus is at a stovetop, grilling up a seafood spread - fish and shrimp, and in one pot, even lobster. He peppers the fish lightly, and then reaches for some citrus fruits to accompany the shrimp. Not breaking his routine at all, he speaks.]

Sora, I have your camera for you.

[And then back to cooking.]

Sex is something you can control, to a degree. You know the end results. But you know little of love, so you fear it.

In short, you don't know how to act around someone when there's no sexuality involved anymore. You also get tense when someone has no sexual interest in you. Which explains some of your awkwardness around me.

You've lost touch with that feeling, essentially.

[Drinks the rest of his water, neatly setting his glass down.]

You should eat the rest of your food.

It is. So you're torn between fear and hope. Fear that the long term will fail and fall apart, and hope that it'll give you greater satisfaction than what you have now. And your inexperience with the latter makes it all the more difficult to try it.

[emptiedcup.livejournal.com]

Mm.

But come to it, you want to try. You simply have no idea how.

[And Lexaeus stands up, putting the dishes away.]

[emptiedcup.livejournal.com]

Catch-22. Can't find out how until you start the relationship, can't get the relationship until you find out how.

Hm.

[Filling up the dishwasher, thinking all the while, until an idea begins to form.]

Ah. There. It would be best to turn the problem into separate pieces and conquer them one at a time, instead of trying for all of them at once.

To that end, you may stay in my room for the night, if you like.

[emptiedcup.livejournal.com]

Mm. And I think it might help you with that 'how' if you sleep somewhere where the person hasn't gotten inside of you just beforehand.

[Pours the detergent inside, closes it up, turns it on, as Lexaeus insists on cleaning up after himself.]

Very well then, Sora. I'll show you to my room.

[Picks his organization jacket back up and lays it over his shoulder, out of the kitchen, down some halls, until finally reaching the one that connects to the gym - and the room on the opposite side. Opening it up, the room is absolutely spartan. Everything is neatly put away, the beds, of which there are two, are completely clean, so on and so forth. There's a rather large bookshelf which is stocked to the brim, and a space set aside for meditation.]

Here we are.

I like to keep organized. One's room is a place that allows a bit of life to be controlled, and made peaceful.

[Closes the door, hangs up his organization jacket, and starts to pull his shirt off, seemingly ready to get a bit of sleep of his own. Clothes really hide how much muscle is there.]

[Pants next, leaving Lex in the buff. Lexaeus seems to be as comfortable with his own body as Sora is with his - just not as aggressive with it.]

That would be a good idea. A centerpoint that you can start to organize around.

[emptiedcup.livejournal.com]

There would be a good point to start with. Ask him if he'd like to share a room. Much easier than saying you're in love.

[Lexaeus gets into his bed, on his back and relaxed, calm as ever.]

[emptiedcup.livejournal.com]

Then your room shall be the beginning of trying for more than just the short rush that you have so far. For love. Would that I had a heart, I might be envious.

[Reaches up and back, hitting a switch, and covering the room in darkness.]

Good night, Sora.

[Well, Lexaeus isn't one to fuck without thought, so yeah, DIFFERENT IS WHAT YOU GET.]
