A/N: This chapter is titled "The Good Part" for a reason. Beware for there is a copious amount of GHAY down below. It starts immediately. Woot.
zurui2 (8/18/11 7:02:11 PM): He stepped closer again and his hands found a place at Rosiano's waist. "Lost for words? I'm flattered." He ducked his head and ghosted his lips over the skin of Rosiano's neck. He found the part where he could clearly feel his racing pulse, and bit gently.
azuleean (8/18/11 7:03:26 PM): He shuddered, raising his hands up to try and push away Jack, but finding himself unable to. "N-no... stop..." A long shiver ran down his spine.
zurui2 (8/18/11 7:07:28 PM): He wasn't really holding Rosiano there in any way, he was barely even holding him there. "Your body betrays you. There's no one here for you to impress. No one to judge you. I know you want this, otherwise you'd be out of my arms already." His breath ghosted over the skin of the man's neck and he gently bit the collar and tugged a little.
azuleean (8/18/11 7:15:23 PM): "N-no..." He felt his body heating up, betraying his head. "That's not... true..." His own breath fogged his glasses up.
zurui2 (8/18/11 7:19:13 PM): He rolled his eyes and moved his right hand down to the front of Rosiano's leggings to put pressure there, rubbing gently. "Then push me away. If you really don't want it, then you can end it." He gently bit Rosiano's ear.
azuleean (8/18/11 7:22:54 PM): His hips rolled into the touch, a moan escaping. He couldn't seem to push hard enough to get him to move. "B-bastard..." When Jack did it harder, he ended up pulling him closer, his brain completely outvoted by his body.
zurui2 (8/18/11 7:28:25 PM): He smiled and picked him up, having to hold is ass in the process. "You've wanted this for a long time, haven't you?" He walked over to the bed and put Rosiano down on the edge. "So, you're probably a virgin, aren't you?"
azuleean (8/18/11 7:31:35 PM): "Ah... N-no..." It was a flat out lie, but he wanted to seem like he knew what the hell was going on. He pulled his legs together, trying to hide his excitement.
zurui2 (8/18/11 7:34:29 PM): He laughed, "Not a virgin? So you did it with a girl? Color me surprised." He absentmindedly took his shirt off, forgetting that he had wanted to hide the scars and the syringe wound.
azuleean (8/18/11 7:36:42 PM): "Wh-what? No! I've never done it with- What's wrong with your arm? Are you okay?" He was suddenly worried again, a large red mark in plain view. "Is that... a bug bite?"
zurui2 (8/18/11 7:38:29 PM): "Huh? Oh. Yeah. Probably a mosquito or a spider. It showed up a while ago. Don't worry, there's no bugs in here. The landlord had it tented a couple months ago." He thought he was pretty good at lying for someone who was both drunk and high. He smirked. "So, you ARE a virgin?"
zurui2 (8/18/11 7:42:02 PM): He had three circular, dime sized wounds on the right side of his chest, and a long line, maybe six inches long, diagonally across where his heart would be on the left side of his chest. He had more circular wounds on his abdomen, along with what could have been a large patch of burn scar on his left side, running from the bottom of his ribs to somewhere under his boxers. Some of the circular wounds had twins on his back, and there were more line scars, cris-crossing over the skin on his back.
azuleean (8/18/11 7:45:12 PM): "W-well... ah... I mean... shit." He faced away, looking at the scars. Some were newer, some obviously older. He wondered how many times this man had been hurt.
zurui2 (8/18/11 7:47:42 PM): He tried not to act regretful about taking his shirt off. "You mean what? Have you ever fucked or been fucked? Actually, I bet you've never even been in this kind of situation before, have you?" He put his hand back where it used to be, rubbing Rosiano through his leggings again.
azuleean (8/18/11 7:50:31 PM): "A-ahn... I... I..." He felt himself growing harder, the other man's hands much more pleasurable even through the cloth than his own directly on himself. He bit his lower lip, his glasses falling down the bridge of his nose a little.
zurui2 (8/18/11 7:54:48 PM): He moved his other hand up under Rosiano's shirt, pulling it up in an attempt to get it off him, hoping he'd cooperate. "Now you're making me blush." He used his other hand to cover up the circular scars. "Don't pay attention to these."
azuleean (8/18/11 8:02:22 PM): His cheeks were burning red. "I... I wasn't..." He reached up and moved his glasses back into place, covering his face with his hand.
zurui2 (8/18/11 8:12:26 PM): He pulled Rosiano's shirt over his head and off his arms, tossing it to the other side of the bed. He kissed his collarbone, slowly running his hands down the man's chest. "It's been a while since I've taken a virginity."
azuleean (8/18/11 8:14:11 PM): "A-ah! Stop..." His chest curved into Jack's hands, his arousal more obvious by the second.
zurui2 (8/18/11 8:16:17 PM): He chuckled, "We've been over this. You don't mean it, you don't want me to stop. It's okay, you can give in." He tucked his thumbs in the hem of Rosiano's leggings and pulled them down and off his legs, putting them next to the shirt on the bed.
azuleean (8/18/11 8:19:42 PM): "Ah- Hey!" He was surprised at the suddenness of being unclothed, blushing with a tiny bit of anger. The he looked down and saw that he was still. Wearing. The panties. They were stretched, the cloth having slipped so that only the lace was hugging his tip. The rest of it was pulled tight by his erection. "Fuuuuu..." He put his hands over his face, wishing he could just die.
zurui2 (8/18/11 8:22:54 PM): "Aw, don't be like that! You look sexy!" He kissed Rosiano's neck again. "But, I could take them off you if it would make you feel better." He tugged on the collar again, rather pleased that there wasn't a way for it to be taken off.
azuleean (8/18/11 8:25:13 PM): "Oy- be careful with that! It hurts a little." he followed Jack's hand as it pulled on the collar. The lacy lingerie slipped off as he got a little harder, his tip poking out. "Ah..."
zurui2 (8/18/11 8:27:09 PM): "The collar hurts? Does it chafe? Sorry." He let go of it and his hands trailed down Rosiano's sides toward the underwear. "Really, if it's too embarrassing, I could just remove these..."
azuleean (8/18/11 8:29:30 PM): He blushed, looking away. "Yes, they are by far too embarrassing-"
zurui2 (8/18/11 8:31:32 PM): He grinned and pulled them down and off his legs, adding to the "Rosiano's clothes" pile. He wrapped his hand around Rosiano's length and moved slowly, grinning ridiculously.
azuleean (8/18/11 8:40:09 PM): "W-wai- ah..." He bit his lip, panting. "Th-that's not... what I... ahn..." he gripped the bed sheets, the friction overwhelming him. It was painfully obvious now that he was indeed a virgin.
zurui2 (8/18/11 8:43:23 PM): Jack tried to remember where he left his lube. Most likely, the bathroom. He kissed Rosiano gently on the lips and then let go with his hand. "I'll be right back." He got up and ran to the bathroom, feeling rather silly. The rest of his scars could now be seen with him turned around.
azuleean (8/18/11 8:51:54 PM): He heard Jack searching around in the bathroom, he seemed to be taking a little while. He felt like he had been waiting too long... He reached down and started to stroke himself, angry that it just didn't feel as good. Maybe if he finished into his sock, he could pretend he didn't really want it. He stroked harder, biting his lip. He felt himself trembling, about to cum, when a hand came around and clutched tightly at his base to prevent him from doing so. "Wha?"
zurui2 (8/18/11 8:56:00 PM): Jack grinned, a bottle of clear fluid in his hand. "I knew you wanted it. How can you deny it now? When you've been caught jerking off." He popped the cap of the bottle open and poured a little on his fingers, then capped the bottle and tossed it on the bed. "There's still more fun to be had. Just wait." His fingers found Rosiano's entrance, and he gently prodded there, wanting to see a reaction.
azuleean (8/18/11 9:17:47 PM): "W-wait... Aaaah..." He tried to keep his breath steady, heating up from the embarrassment and the sudden sensation. "Stop... it feels weird..."
zurui2 (8/18/11 9:20:12 PM): Jack pressed a little harder with one finger, entering slowly. "It will feel good in a minute. Just wait." He had been hard for a while, and it ached in his boxers, but he was worried that if he took them off now that it would startle Rosiano and he wouldn't get any ass. So he was stuck with ignoring it.
azuleean (8/18/11 9:22:17 PM): "Aghn... It hurts..." He gripped the bed sheets, the invasive finger odd feeling inside him almost to the point of pain. The air touched his pre cum, making it cold. He shivered.
zurui2 (8/18/11 9:25:08 PM): He wrapped his hand around Rosiano's cock again, trying to be gentle. "Relax. I know it's hard." He was glad he had lube, remembering the few times when he hadn't had it. That sucked. He pushed it in a little farther, curling it upward in hopes of finding his sweet spot to convince him that this was a good idea.
azuleean (8/18/11 9:27:28 PM): His hips twitched a little in response. "Ah! What- Haaaa..." A feeling he had never felt before inside him rose up, making him moan and start to sweat a little. "The hell... Ahn..."
zurui2 (8/18/11 9:29:53 PM): "There... Eh? I told you it would feel good." He gently rubbed the spot until Rosiano relaxed, then carefully added another finger. He had to be careful with Virgins.
azuleean (8/18/11 9:34:48 PM): "O-ow..." He felt a tear in his eye as his ass was stretched, the new experience going between painful and pleasurable.
zurui2 (8/18/11 9:40:08 PM): He kissed Rosiano softly, and slowed his fingers. He maintained pressure on that spot though, waiting for him to relax a bit more. "It's okay, just relax. Imagine yourself like, sinking or something. I don't know." He felt silly trying to explain relaxing.
azuleean (8/18/11 9:41:51 PM): "I-I know damned well... how to relax..." He tried desperately, his muscles loosening a slight bit as he concentrated. His hips twitched forwards again, wanting him to hit his prostate again.
zurui2 (8/18/11 9:43:36 PM): He laughed a little and pushed his fingers upward again, enjoying the faces Rosiano was making. He began to scissor his fingers open a little bit, taking advantage of every little bit that he relaxed.
azuleean (8/18/11 9:45:51 PM): He grunted and then moaned, cold air hitting inside him, a finger digging straight into his sweet spot. He clutched at the bedsheets tightly, his hands starting to ache.
zurui2 (8/18/11 9:50:25 PM): He smiled and carefully added a third finger, continuing to play with his sweet spot. He reached and grabbed the bottle of lube again, hoping that this wouldn't end the moment he took his boxers off.
azuleean (8/21/11 3:44:21 PM): He looked down and blushed, seeing a fairly obvious size difference. But with the third finger in, it was all he could do not to moan. "Fu..."
zurui2 (8/21/11 3:50:50 PM): He opened the bottle sideways in his hand so a generous amount dripped into his palm. He capped it back up and chucked it to the other side of the bed, figuring he wouldn't need it again. He pushed his three fingers deeper while rubbing the lube over his cock, trying not to moan and embarrass himself.
azuleean (8/21/11 3:52:00 PM): "A-ahn... wai..." He clutched harder as all his fingers went into his prostate, making him thrust involuntarily.
zurui2 (8/21/11 3:55:54 PM): Jack kicked his boxers off the rest of the way and pulled Rosiano closer to him. He stopped moving his fingers, wanting to get a legitimate answer. "It probably wont hurt now, but if you're absolutely terrified we can stop now." He needed to show a little compassion, he wanted his Rosiano to come back some time, after all.
azuleean (8/21/11 3:58:39 PM): Rosiano blushed angrily and looked away. "You've just felt my insides, how the hell can you be asking me now?" His muscles clamped around Jack's fingers, angry that he had stopped moving them.
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:04:07 PM): Jack grinned, "Yeah, I guess that's pretty unfair. Whatever." He moved his fingers again briefly, and then positioned himself to replace them. He took another look up before pulling his fingers out and pushing his cock inside, not giving Rosiano a chance to tighten back up again. He didn't go that deep yet, only a little bit at first.
azuleean (8/21/11 4:06:13 PM): "Yii!" His toes curled and his head was pushed back into the bed as the other forced his way inside, the weird feeling worse than before. His knuckles ached from holding the sheets so tight.
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:08:44 PM): Jack leaned forward, curling his arms around behind Rosiano's back. "You can hold onto me if you like, I don't mind if you scratch." He grinned a little to himself, wondering if he could make him believe that all his scars were from rough sex.
azuleean (8/21/11 4:09:50 PM): "I... I-I'm fine... you bastard..." He tasted blood from biting into his lip too hard, trying to distract himself until it felt better.
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:10:55 PM): Jack grinned and reached between them to wrap his hand around Rosiano's length. "Virgin liar." He thrust forward, impatient.
azuleean (8/21/11 4:12:50 PM): "Ah!" He felt his hips tremble, trying to hold back from moving them. He wished that Jack would just hurry the fuck up and move already, make it feel better.
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:15:28 PM): He started thrusting slowly, getting deeper each time. He matched the speed of his hand to the speed of his hips.
azuleean (8/21/11 4:17:06 PM): "W-wait- if you do that..." His back curled, he threw his arms around Jack suddenly, trying not to do anything. A long moan escaped his lips as he felt himself starting to drip.
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:19:15 PM): Jack raised an eyebrow. "You're going to cum already? We just started!" He grunted and thrust harder, spurred on by Rosiano's moans.
azuleean (8/21/11 4:21:06 PM): "B-but... before... an-and... Ahn! Jack!" He thrust his hips near violently as he came, getting cum on the other's hand and chest. His fingers dug into the others back.
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:24:08 PM): Jack groaned as he felt Rosiano tighten up around him. He stopped the movements of his hand, but only slowed the movements of his hips. He wasn't done yet. He grinned and kissed the other's jaw. "That's cute, I hadn't expected you to moan my name like that..."
azuleean (8/21/11 4:25:57 PM): He turned his face down and away, wishing he could disappear. Every time Jack continued to thrust into him, his tender insides contracted a little. "Oh fuck off..."
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:29:36 PM): Jack groaned and came suddenly, biting into Rosiano's neck. After a few moments of panting and shivering, he pulled out slowly and flopped onto the bed beside the other, not entirely ready to conquer the task of getting under the covers.
azuleean (8/21/11 4:30:38 PM): Blushing, he turned away from the other. He wasn't sure whether he was pissed or what- this was all just too weird.
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:32:30 PM): He stared at the ceiling for a minute, collecting his thoughts. "I hope you don't hate me now that you've calmed down."
azuleean (8/21/11 4:33:37 PM): "..." He put his arms over his head. He was strong- why was he feeling this way? A tear was running down his cheek, his mind reeling, and his ass sore.
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:41:36 PM): Jack's heart lurched at the sight. Happy people didn't put their arms over their heads like that. He sat up with some difficulty and put his boxers back on, then hobbled over to the table where he left the clothes he'd found for Rosiano. "I bet you I could pick the lock on that collar of yours, if it would make you feel better."
azuleean (8/21/11 4:43:49 PM): He tried to keep his face entirely emotionless. "Fine..." How could Jack be so calm at a time like this? He had just given him a huge part of himself, wasn't it supposed to be a happy occasion? Why did it feel so... he didn't know what the word was.
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:48:50 PM): He grabbed the clothes, tossing them to land on the bed next to Rosiano. "Uh, clothes. For you." He wondered if he should just stop talking. He went to one of the chests and opened it, the rifled around for some time and eventually found a little black pouch of lock picking tools. He already had a back-story just in case Rosiano asked him about it. He rehearsed it in his head. Sometimes he locked himself out of his apartment and needed them. Yeah. That makes sense. It hadn't occurred to him that it might not be believable since they were stored inside the apartment and not outside.
azuleean (8/21/11 4:51:13 PM): Rosiano looked exhaustedly over at Jack, sitting up. He ran a finger under the tight collar, trying to get a little extra room by stretching the leather. "Sorry, I'm just... tired. Just tired. That's all." He stopped for a moment. "Why do you have a kit like that, anyways? Decoration?"
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:53:20 PM): He looked at the lock and picked some fairly small tools for it. "I lock myself out of my apartment sometimes when I forget a key." Hah. Perfectly executed. He started trying to pick the lock. It could take a bit.
azuleean (8/21/11 4:55:08 PM): Rosiano raised an eyebrow suspiciously. He had a knack for knowing when people lied- well, more than a knack, really. "Somehow the decoration story would have been more believable. Unless that is, of course, a spare kit, which I doubt it is. They're expensive. And why wouldn't you just have a spare key?"
zurui2 (8/21/11 4:57:06 PM): Jack smiled as he managed to get the lock undone. "Well shit. I guess it is decoration then." He didn't feel like telling his life story just yet. He put the tools back in the pouch and tossed it in the general direction of the trunk. He'd put it away later.
azuleean (8/21/11 4:58:27 PM): Rosiano scratched harshly at his neck, the leather having constricted it a little. His fingernails left little white lines that quickly turned red.
zurui2 (8/21/11 5:00:37 PM): Jack winced at the sight of the red marks. His first impulse was to lean forward and kiss them, but he stopped himself. It probably wasn't the best time.
azuleean (8/21/11 5:02:42 PM): "I swear... when I get back to those guys I'm gonna... I dunno... Make all their library books overdue. I don't even know." He suddenly felt all the exhaustion of the night and how long he had been awake for crash down onto him, making him dizzy. He leaned forwards into the other's chest out of exhaustion.
zurui2 (8/21/11 5:05:28 PM): Jack smiled, then reached for the clothes he had tossed earlier. "You should put some clothes on. Then you can sleep."
azuleean (8/21/11 5:06:30 PM): "Don't give a shit..." He was already half asleep, nearly to the point of exhaustion where he hallucinated.
zurui2 (8/21/11 5:11:03 PM): Jack rolled his eyes and reached down to slip Rosiano's legs through the boxers. It would be better for both of them if he at least had something covered. Then he covered Rosiano with the blanket on the bed. Jack groaned. He needed more heroin.
azuleean (8/21/11 5:11:51 PM): Rosiano was already asleep by the time Jack went to the bathroom. He wasn't going to be up for hours.
zurui2 (8/21/11 5:13:00 PM): Jack quickly got another dose and returned to bed, cuddling up with Rosiano and falling asleep.
azuleean (8/21/11 5:14:51 PM): Rosiano, in his sleep, curled into Jack's body. His body just said 'fuck it all' in every sense, even though his brain said not to.
zurui2 (8/22/11 6:22:13 PM): Jack woke up fairly early and immediately looked around the room, suddenly aware of the headache in the back of his skull. Could he have become someone else in the night? His stomach sunk to his feet when he remembered Rosiano, still sleeping in his arms. He was still alive. Still alive. Not dead. Nope. Jack let out a sigh of relief and untangled himself to sprint as quietly as he could to the bathroom for more of his favorite drug.
azuleean (8/22/11 6:25:55 PM): Rosiano woke up a little when Jack got up, feeling the warmth slip away. However, he felt just too tired to move right then. Then he remembered what had happened the night before. He sat bolt upright, clutching the sheet to his chest and blushing violently as Jack came back in.
zurui2 (8/22/11 6:29:33 PM): Jack came back a few minutes later. This time he had injected himself between the toes so he wouldn't have to come up with some ridiculous bug bite story again. He looked at Rosiano and raised an eyebrow. "I don't know what you think last night means, but it doesn't make you a girl. But the shirt is still there if you don't want to show your chest anymore." He gestured to the folded shirt on the end of the bed.
azuleean (8/22/11 6:32:58 PM): He dropped the sheet, getting out of bed. Thank GOD he had boxers on. He grabbed his shirt and attempted to navigate the canals of the cloth, his tired mind making it a lot harder than it should have been. "I know that pretty fucking well..." In all honesty, he had wanted more from last night. Wasn't sex supposed to be all vanilla cookies and I love you's the first time around? He shook his head, trying to clear the thoughts. Then he thought again. The thought was, 'Ow. My ass.'
zurui2 (8/22/11 6:36:44 PM): Jack rolled his eyes and sat on the stool set out next to the cello. He didn't play, just touched the neck and strings tenderly. He didn't feel like playing. "Want to talk about what's making you such an ass every time I try to be nice to you?" He plucked the lowest string, the sound humming low and softly.
azuleean (8/22/11 6:38:16 PM): Rosiano stayed silent for a second. Why was he so rude? He normally tried to be polite, to NOT get on people's nerves... "I think it's because... something in me changes around you... or something. I don't know how to deal with it so..."
zurui2 (8/22/11 6:40:04 PM): Jack almost snorted. What did he know about something changing within? But, he kept his composure, and his snort stayed inside his head. "Be more specific?" He plucked the second lowest string.
azuleean (8/22/11 6:41:44 PM): "I dunno... it's like my stomach feels kinda tingly. I don't know..." He shook his head again and stood in front of the other man. "Hey, I'm sorry for the way I've been acting..."
zurui2 (8/22/11 6:45:22 PM): Jack grinned, "It's fine. It's kind of endearing. I was just wondering." He thought about playing, but no, he still didn't feel like it. Maybe he'd played recently as someone else. That might explain it. He was pretty sure his other selves enjoyed playing music as well; there was evidence toward it. His mind wandered off and he stared into space, dragging his finger up and down one of the cello strings.
azuleean (8/22/11 6:47:13 PM): Rosiano figured a subject change was in order. "Do you play? The cello, I mean." He wanted to move off the topic quickly, so he nodded his head towards the instrument.
zurui2 (8/22/11 6:48:33 PM): Jack snapped out of it quickly. "Yes, I do, but I have to be in the right mood. The piano comes easier to me. I have to be in an even rarer mood to play that infernal thing." He pointed toward the silver flute on the table.
azuleean (8/22/11 6:49:40 PM): He gave a little laugh. "You're lucky- I never had such a rich musical education. But, hey, I got a job where I wanted to work, so it's all good."
zurui2 (8/22/11 6:50:59 PM): Jack almost said 'Well I've had a lot of time on my hands' but figured such an open ended statement would lead to awkward questions that he couldn't answer. Instead, he just smiled and shrugged.
azuleean (8/22/11 6:52:29 PM): "Well, at least you haven't wasted your life." He shifted his weight from foot to foot. Suddenly, in the silence, his stomach growled.
zurui2 (8/22/11 6:55:59 PM): Jack looked up and laughed, "I'm a terrible host for not offering you food! I'm sorry. I don't have anything worth eating here, but we can go out to eat if you like. My treat." He got up and walked to his dresser, wondering if he had any clothes that didn't look like they'd been worn a hundred times in a row. "Classy, right? Sex and then the first date? I'm such a gentleman."
azuleean (8/22/11 6:57:17 PM): "Ah, no, it's all right- I don't normally eat a lot, so I didn't think I'd need to for at least another day..." He blushed, his embarrassing eating habits coming to light. "Although, a light breakfast might be nice..."
zurui2 (8/22/11 6:59:19 PM): Jack looked over his shoulder. "What are you, a camel?" He laughed at himself. "Sorry, I watch a lot of National Geographic. That joke probably didn't make sense. Camels can go for a long time without eating, was my point." He found a shirt and shook it out a bit to try and de-wrinkle it, then found a pair of jeans that were slightly less dirty than the ones he'd worn the night before. "Do you like fruit? That's light, isn't it?"
azuleean (8/22/11 7:00:36 PM): He smiled. "Yeah, fruit's fine... And it's ironic that you came up with that- I call it 'cameling' as well." He laughed a bit, smiling nicely for the first time in a while.
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:05:12 PM): He looked at Rosiano and frowned, realizing that going out at all wasn't much of an option for him without any clothes. "If you try to wear any of my clothes outside, you'll look homeless. And while I don't care how I look in public, you seem like the kind of person that does." He found his keys and shoved them in his pocket, then fished his wallet out of the pocket of the pants he'd worn last night. "Suggestions?"
azuleean (8/22/11 7:12:10 PM): "Uhm, well... дерьмо." He slipped into Russian without knowing it- it was his original language, so he didn't notice anything. "Я хорош с что-нибыдь."
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:14:05 PM): Jack gave him a blank stare for a few seconds and wondered if he finally found out how much heroin it takes to make him feel it. "I'm sorry, learning other languages was something I haven't gotten around to yet."
azuleean (8/22/11 7:17:28 PM): "Huh? Что вы- Oh... S-sorry...Ah... Well, that is..." He felt himself get nervous again- he was originally from Russia, but had learned to talk without an accent. He was a legal citizen, but authorities still made him nervous.
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:21:36 PM): Jack blinked a few times. "So, in English this time... Here are some options. I could go down the street to the shops to find you clothes, I could go get food myself and bring it back, or you come with me but you are restricted by two outfits. Homeless and stripper."
azuleean (8/22/11 7:23:19 PM): "I-I don't care that much about how I look..." He figured he may as well go out with Jack and get food- he didn't see why not. He pulled out his hair tie and ran his fingers through his long-ish hair.
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:28:34 PM): Jack blushed a little, but turned away to hide it. "You should care." He looked at the pile of Rosiano's clothes from the night before. "So, stripper or hobo? I might have a pair of clean shorts, and I have a shirt somewhere, but they'll be baggy."
azuleean (8/22/11 7:30:09 PM): "I don't mind- I've worn worse than hobo clothes. Not that I ever plan on telling anyone about that. Ever." He shivered, remembering the 'incident'.
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:31:16 PM): Jack laughed and found the shorts in his dresser, tossing them to Rosiano, along with a decently unwrinkled plain blue shirt. "Now I'm curious."
azuleean (8/22/11 7:33:11 PM): "Don't be." He changed quickly, putting his white hair back up in a ponytail. A small thought blinked through his mind- I make this look good. The corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly. "It was a horrible, traumatizing event."
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:34:51 PM): Jack ached with curiosity, but didn't ask anymore. "We could almost be roommates with the way we're dressed. Shall we go? Oh, and weren't you supposed to call in sick or something?"
azuleean (8/22/11 7:35:41 PM): "Oh, you're right... I don't have a cell phone, can I borrow yours?" He was thankful for the sudden change in the subject, and took full advantage of it.
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:37:08 PM): Jack nodded, walking to the table next to the couch where a cordless phone sat. He picked it up and handed it to Rosiano, then went to another trunk to find shoes. He was in a flip-flops mood.
azuleean (8/22/11 7:40:00 PM): He quickly dialed the phone, and it picked up on the third ring. "Hello, Elizabeta?" He croaked out in a perfect sick voice, "I-I'm sorry, I'm not going to make it to the library this morning... I'll see if I'm better by the afternoon."
The woman on the other end of the phone talked very loudly. "WHAT? YOU? SICK? SHIT, YOU'RE TAKING THE REST OF THE WEEK OFF! GO BACK TO SLEEP, NOW!" She hung up the phone, exasperated.
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:42:14 PM): Jack snorted. "That's fantastic! A mini vacation!" He found a pair of black flip-flops and put them on, now fully hobo-ified and ready to go.
azuleean (8/22/11 7:43:52 PM): He put the phone down, sighing. "She's the one who actually tries to get me sick so I'll take off work... She thinks it's unhealthy to never take a break. She's probably right, too." He wiped the sleep out of his eyes.
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:45:48 PM): "Of course she's right!" He was going to think of a kind of reasoning, but stopped himself when he realized Rosiano was probably a far healthier person than him. A drug addict and alcoholic would always lose that kind of comparison.
azuleean (8/22/11 7:47:30 PM): "Hey, I like my job. If I were back in Russia, I would never even have a chance for one- Uh, um, shit." He hadn't meant to let it slip, he had just kind of not realized it.
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:51:01 PM): Jack rubbed his head. Confused. Why would he be embarrassed over something like that? "I pretty much figured out you were from Russia the way that you magically forgot your English. I'm dumb but I'm not stupid." He grinned and walked towards the door.
azuleean (8/22/11 7:52:29 PM): He blushed again. "I was trying so hard not to let anyone know... People aren't all too fond of foreigners. But I'm still fairly new to California, so what do I know?"
zurui2 (8/22/11 7:59:01 PM): Jack smiled, "You have white hair. Come on." He laughed, "But in all seriousness, if your soul is human, that's all that matters to me." He reached into his pocket for his keys, but something stabbed his finger and he pulled his hang out of his pocket with a yell. A syringe clattered to the floor, flung from his pocket along with his hand. Jack just stared at it, unable to look up at Rosiano or even go to pick it up. Damage done.
azuleean (8/22/11 8:02:34 PM): "What's this?" He picked up the needle quickly, staring at it, not quite understanding what it was. "Wait... is this...?"
zurui2 (8/22/11 8:04:04 PM): Jack's breath caught in his throat when Rosiano picked it up. "I- Shit." He couldn't even think of a cover story now. His body language showed his shame. He couldn't form words.
azuleean (8/22/11 8:06:40 PM): "Что… Это? Jack?" He stared silently at the needle for a second, and then at the man, then back again.
zurui2 (8/22/11 8:17:48 PM): Jack shivered, suddenly terrified. He'd never been close to anyone enough to know something like that about him. Now, he had to think of a creative way to explain away one secret without revealing the rest. "I... It..." He let his head droop. "It's exactly what it looks like."
azuleean (8/22/11 8:19:40 PM): Rosiano held the tube in his hand, looking at him darkly. "I assume you have others?" He felt himself shaking- he was careful not to crush the delicate glass.
zurui2 (8/22/11 8:22:34 PM): Jack looked up a little, but not enough to reach Rosiano's eyes. "What if I do? Are you going to smash them all and make me go clean? I'll buy more. Look around you. I'm doing fine. I don't need to go clean. I-" He surprised himself when his voice cracked. Funny. He normally wasn't the emotional type.
azuleean (8/22/11 9:41:15 PM): He placed the needle back on the ground and leaned forwards to hug the other man. "Whatever made you start using it must be horrible. You said before that it was fine as long as my soul was human? Well, I've done things that I'm not proud of either. Things that would estrange me from the human race entirely.
zurui2 (8/22/11 10:37:30 PM): Jack hugged Rosiano back rather tightly, so relieved that he didn't just storm off. That's what he had been expecting. As soon as the needle fell he thought for sure it would be the last he'd see of him. Jack frowned. Was Rosiano shaking? No, no that was himself. Maybe he did take too big of a dose.
azuleean (8/22/11 10:46:16 PM): "We'll talk about what's going to happen when we get back. But for now, let's just go get breakfast, okay?" He pulled back a bit, smiling wearily. He really hadn't wanted to dredge up those memories- he had almost started crying from the mere thought of what had happened.
zurui2 (8/22/11 10:48:02 PM): He frowned. "What do you mean what's going to happen? I already told you. I'm not giving it up. But yeah, let's get food." He walked through the door and held it open for Rosiano, trying to be a gentlemen.
azuleean (8/22/11 10:49:41 PM): "Fine. But if you do give in entirely to it, I'm going to have to hurt you to help you." He walked through the door, waiting for Jack to lock up.
zurui2 (8/22/11 10:51:58 PM): He laughed, locking the door behind them. "Not a chance." Of course there was no way for him to really get hurt in any way by the drugs. His body healed too quickly. But, there was no way that he could begin to explain it to Rosiano.
A/N: Well, that was fun, yah? More of this happens. Often. Which means these might not stay on fanfiction for long. Le sigh.
