This is an investigation effort, really

[prominence_glow]

WHO! Demyx and Lea
WHEN! Midday
WHERE! The Island
STYLE! Action?
STATUS! Closed

[Poor, poor traumatized Demyx. Lea feels for him. Kind of.]

[Maybe for him, it's just not as traumatizing, considering the kind of things he's seen Stein do. Briefly terrifying, sure, but Vatheon has desensitized this redhead. But not Demyx, despite his boyfriend being older, so he's decided that it's time for a little investigating! Mystery of the Exploding Faeries.]

[Which is just code for getting Demyx's mind off of it.]

[As the elevator takes them up to the island, Lea grins and nudges Demyx's ribs with his elbow.]

You know, I've never really explored this place that much!

Call it selfish, but I'd rather keep you here. Even--Even with all the screwed up stuff that happens, I dunno if I'd be able to handle it if they just threw you back home.

_{[Especially with what happens in Lea's future.]}

I know I'm not going back if I can help it.

[prominence_glow]

I'm kind of torn... I mean, I've heard over and over again what happens if I go back. People have said not to fight fate, or whatever...

But... [Awkwardly, Lea looks away and shoves his free hand into his pocket.] I still want to see my mom and dad again. My family. Isa, too. It's still home...

[ninthserenade]

I know. And... And if you really wanna go back, I won't stop you in the end. I'd go back with you if I could but there's nothing really there for me, y'know? I mean, I really wanna meet your folks 'n all that, but... Ah, you know.

_{[He lifts their hands to kiss Lea's knuckles.]}

'n I know it's thinking way, way into the future but I could see myself spending the rest of my existence with you.

[prominence_glow]

Hey, I'm not ditching you anytime soon. I'm not that much of a jerkface.

[Knuckles? Underachiever. Lea gives him a proper smooch.]

If I can get into contact with 'em, I will in a heartbeat, but leaving you alone when you got nothin' waiting for you? Not happening.

[ninthserenade]

Light, I dunno what I did right to win you but whatever it was, I'm glad I did it.

_{[Gosh he feels so spoiled with all this affection.]}

Think they'd approve of you dating a twenty-four year old?

[prominence_glow]

You don't want the answer to that question.

[Lea laughs a little.]

I could probably talk 'em through it. It'd be sure easier than explaining the tattoo. God, they'll flay me alive for that first before giving you the fish eye.

[ninthserenade]

Maybe I do.

_{[He grins.]}

The fish eye?

[prominence_glow]

Well, for starters, you dated my best friend, so I'd say that might have had something to do with it.

[A grin back.]

What, did that get your mermaid roots tingling?

[ninthserenade]

And~?

_[Kersnort.]

Chyeah, explain that to 'em and I'll definitely be getting some sort of eyeballin' going on. 'Hey mom, dad, I'm dating a merman!'

[prominence_glow]

And then you started being an embarrassing dork with your nerdy sitar all over the network.

[Lea looks unbelievably smug with himself.]

I will get so much cred from my classmates, 'tho, think about it.

[ninthserenade]

It's not nerdy!

_{[Omnomnom ego inflating!]}

'n then you'd be getting all kinds of questions like 'What's he like in bed?' 'How big is he?' from the pervs.

[prominence_glow]

Totally nerdy.

[It still has a ways to go before it catches up with Lea's.]

Heh, well I already know all the things I can say to them.

[ninthserenade]

She's cute, not nerdy.

_{[He never really had much of an ego to begin with.]}

Yeah? What's that?

[prominence_glow]

Nerd.

[Lea's grin could not get any more sly.]

You have a great mouth.

[ninthserenade]

You're a nerd, man.

<sub>[Oh.

Oh.]</sub>

A great mouth, huh?

[prominence_glow]

[Just

leaning in

and

smooching]

The best.

[ninthserenade]

Lea... _{[A breathy chuckle.]}

You're gonna make me blush.

_{[Have a smooch right back, best boyfriendbro.]}

[prominence_glow]

Well we wouldn't want that, would we?

[So pleased with himself. The most pleased.]

[ninthserenade]

Maybe you would.

_{[A beat. And then he gives Lea a good ol' cheshire cat grin.]}

Yanno, I bet I can do things that would make your buddies back home ruin their good pants just from the stories.

[prominence_glow]

[Lea can match that grin. Lea can match the hell out of that grin.]

Oh really? And just what kind of things would those be?

[ninthserenade]

I can make copies of myself, Lea.

_{[And leaning down to gently nip at the tip of his ear--]}

Use your imagination.

[prominence_glow]

Hey, don't blame me. I'm not that-

[Oh, hello teeth! Lea snakes a hand up to Demyx's shoulder.]

-creative. Poor little ol' me, with no imagination. You might have to spell it out for me.

[ninthserenade]

Think about it for a sec.

_{[Sup, he'll just be burying his face into Lea's neck when he's pulled a little closer with a grin.]}

You'd have two of me all to yourself. Maybe even three, if I work on getting more clones up without Arpeggio. I could have you in my lap and that clone could be right between your legs on its knees, or the other way around.

_{[Y e p. It's safe to say he's forgotten all about the fairies going splot for a good long while.]}

[prominence_glow]

[Wow. Wooooooow. Going to the shower won't quite be the same now with these mental images in his head. That hand on Demyx's shoulder is sneaking right up to cup the back of his skull while his other one loops around his waist.]

Sure you could keep your concentration, Dem?

[ninthserenade]

_{[In that case, please do drop the soap. He might just have to give Lea a nice little pinch if the chance ever comes up. With the hand on his head, he casually hooks his fingers into the belt-loops of Lea's pants. Who cares if they're in the woods?]}

I'm pretty good with multitasking. I think I could keep my concentration on going down on you and stuff. _{[A beat, and he laughs.]} Light, I'm such a perv cuz of you.
