Well, goddammit.

I've spent like a year and a half working for Stark, minding my own business, staying out of trouble, and letting pretty much everyone that works around me believe that I was a local just like them. Nobody ever had any idea that I was an 'import,' and I was fine with that. I pass for normal just fine. But not anymore. Dammit, I don't even know why, but one of the secretaries was hassling me about a work party for Christmas and I just up and blurted it out. That I'm not even from here.

Dammit!

At least it got her off my back. Not the import thing, the whole diatribe about why I don't want any part of those plans and get that damn mini-tree off the empty desk thank you very much. I might not have liked Weaz by the time he got ported out of here but at least I can keep his desk from being the site of any stupid trees.

....and why the hell am I even bothering to tell you people this?

((ooc: yep, truth bug))

Admit it, you like freaking people out.

Besides, you're my kind of demon.

Heh, of course I do. But sometimes it gets annoying. I really liked being in Peru where everyone thought I was a god; that was a lot more fun.

...I don't know why I keep saying stuff like that.

What, that's not so bad. It could be a lot worse.

Yeah, but it's not what I wanted to say.

...okay this is officially weird. Everybody's saying stuff they didn't mean to say.

What did you want to say?

Just the first bit.

It does seem like a lot of people...

Maaaaan there'd better not be another power gone haywire or something. Not a good time for it.

...hey. Where are you right now?

Heh, it's the perfect time fore it. Just in time to offset all the cheerful holiday stuff.

Hanging out in the Mancave.

Bonus. Give me a second.

[and less than a minute later that's him sneaking through the doorway hoping the girls aren't anywhere around]

[Kiryu's laying on the couch, playing some sort of handheld game. Alastair gets a bit of a smirk for his antics.]

Hey.

Hey. [as he slinks up behind the couch and hangs over the back, looking over Kiryu's shoulder]

Would I be interrupting anything if I flopped down on top of you right there?

[he tilts his head back a bit and kisses Alastair on the jaw.,/small>]

Nope. Flop away.

[it's not the most graceful thing in the world, but he swings over the back of the couch and tactfully misses landing on Kiryu's legs. Mmm sprawl time]

Now this is more like it. As soon as I heard your voice I knew I wanted to be with you.

[pause. Blink. Whoa...that was a bit too much]

[quickly putting the game down so it's out of the way

[but wait what. yeah that would be a deer-in-the-headlights expression on his side too]

You could've come right away. I always like excuses to spend more time with you.

[and here is an attempt to smirk a bit but it really doesn't work well. why would he say something like that when he should be teasing Alastair for his sudden sappiness]

I should've. But then I got to talking to Kaiba and holy shit was that a weird conversation.

[whoa maybe Kiryu's got it too? But he doesn't mind - in fact, he grins]

Well, I'm here now. And I've got you and a warm, comfy couch, I don't think I'm going anywhere for a while.

Heh. No, you're not. You're warm. [and just to prove the point he'll be hugging Alastair now.]

You had a talk with Kaiba?

[he snuggles back, putting his head comfortably on Kiryu's chest]

Yeah, something like that. He couldn't shut up, either.

Tch, him too? Wonder if there's anyone not being talkitive all of sudden.

Mmm, this is really nice...

It could be way worse than talking too much, that's all I gotta say.

[content smile!] Mmm...yeah. Don't get me wrong, the sex is great, but I like this too. Just being with you.

That is so cheesy. [teasing. teasing forever.] I feel like that too, though. I was miserable when you got sent home.

[sobering a bit] That was the first thing I thought when I came back, was how it must have been for you. All I could think was, 'oh god, Kyosuke.' I never want to do that to you.

[gulp. Dead honesty] ...I don't want to leave you, ever.

Hey, at least you were only gone for a day, right? [a very faint smile, kind of shaky 'cause he's kind of really startled by that]

[and how he haaaates this honesty-thing] You don't know how much that means to me. I never want you to leave either. I mean, I never want anyone to leave, but you more than anyone.

Yeah. At least there's that...and I came back.

[oh it's scary, all right, but it's so nice to hear. He never realized until now how nice that would feel, like a pang in his chest]

Holy shit, man... [he reaches to thread his fingers through Kiryu's hair] ...it's like. We're in love, or something.

[that would be a lot scarier if he hadn't already thought about it...no actually, it was still terrifying since he wasn't about to admit it before...]

I'm in love. [at least he doesn't blush, no matter how embarrassed he might look at the moment.] I mean...there's...nothing wrong with that.

[it's just as scary to hear as to say. But Alastair blinks back his surprise pretty quickly and smiles]

I...I am too, I think. No, there's nothing wrong with it...is there? [as if just realizing that himself. Well, you know what this calls for? One of those long, slow, romantic kisses that you always see in movies but don't believe ever happen in real life. Guess it does]
