“So far you’ve been fine!”
((New post!!! @princesstadashi but yay about the election!!!!))
"Aw, really? Yer just saying that?"
((Yeah!!!))
“What good would lying do?”
"Sparing my feelings?" Or not getting him angry so he wouldn't lash out and then ditching him later--not that he ever did that but people liked to assume the worst about him.
“That would just hurt people in the long run.”
"Well I'm glad you think that at least."
“I can’t imagine thinking otherwise.”
“That just shows how good of a person you are.”
“I-I’m nothing special...”
“Yes you are!”
“I’m truely not.” Alex mumbled, ducking his head.
"You're not going to change my mind on this.".
((Hey!!!! Hope you slept okay!!! I'm not doing terribly great, I had really vivid nightmares, trying to convince myself to get out of bed and not fall back asleep :/)
“......you just don’t know me well enough to know better....”
((Oh man I’m sooooo sorry :(:(:( would doing another stream make you feel better?))
"I doubt that."
((Awww, thank! *Hugs*))
“It’s true.”
((I’m streaming right now!!))
"No it's not!"
((Okay, about to hop in the shower real quick and then I should be on!!!))
“You don’t know me.”
((Okay sounds good!!!! I’ve got the mic on so do you mind possibly being heard by other people?))
"I'm a good judge of character."
((Okay, booting up my laptop right now!!! Hey, not a problem! :D))
“You sure?”
((Hey!!!! I had a lot of fun!!!!))
“Absolutely. I’m good at picking up tells when people are dishonest or untrustworthy, but you’re easily one of the most trustworthy people I’ve met.”
((Hey!!!!!!! Awwww, me too!!!! :) It’s really fun just getting to hang out together and getting to hear your voice!!! ^^))
“Maybe you’re sparing my feelings.”
((Awwwww :)))
“Like you said earlier--wouldn’t that just cause problems later if I was?” Zeb returns, turning Alex’s words on him.
((:D :GLOMP:))
“.....” Alex uncertainly cleared his throat standing up and mumbling, “as nice as this was....I have an early morning tomorrow and should be heading out.”
“Oh...” Zeb’s shoulders dip down. “O-Okay...” Shit, he’d messed up, hadn’t he?
“Um....I look forward to working with you some more.....” Alex mumbled. “I mean uh if you would like to-“
“Of course I would!” Zeb answers eagerly, brightening as he stands up. “Try to get some rest tonight, okay? And whenever you’re ready for me to start just let me know.”
“Of course. We first need to complete the background check of course.”
“Right, of course!” Zeb agrees. “Any idea about how long it usually takes?”
“Usually a couple days.”
“Good to know! Well, you know how to get ahold of me once the check is completed--or, y’know, if you want to talk any time before then...” Zeb sheepishly rubs the back of his neck--he didn’t want to be forward but he also really wanted to get to know Alex better, even if nothing more than a friend.
((All right, sadly it’s bedtime for me :( Have a wonderful night and lots of happy Fredashi/Hezra dreams and an amazing day until I see you again tomorrow!!! LOVE YOU OTOUTO!!!!!! :GLOMP:))
“Yes I do.” Alex uncertainly said. “Until we speak again then.”
((Hey you get your sleep in!!!!! LOVE YOU NIICHAN!!!))
“Right--hopefully it’ll be soon,” Zeb says with a soft smile before picking up his tray to go empty it.
((Thanks for understanding!!! LOVE YOU OTOUTO!!!!!!! :GLOMP:))
“Here’s hoping.” Alex agreed, doing the same.
((Love you niichan!!))
Zeb gives him one last smile before walking away--he already couldn't wait to see Alex again.
((Love you too!!!!!))
Alex himself walked out the employee entrance, ready to relax after a long emotionally exhausting day of work.
Kye knew which car was Alex's, and, after seeing him getting rather cosy in the cafeteria with that guy from the talk who had asked about volunteering, he found himself waiting outside by it instead of heading straight back home. He knew that he and Alex had broken up a long time ago, but that didn't stop jealousy from cropping up wherever he saw him with someone else, and even though he knew it wasn't healthy he had to know what was going on between Alex and this new guy.
((I hope I have the name right but if not please correct me ^^; Also, hey!!! Hope you're doing good ^^ I'm alright, or at least was until right before lunch, my body did something weird which was hopefully just an anxiety attack, even though the agree effects of that still aren't fun ^^; But eh, at least I'm halfway through Monday! The Trump supporters in my office are being pretty quiet except grumbling about voter fraud because apparently counting every vote is fraud XD))
Alex should not have been surprised to see Kye waiting by his car. This happened every time they somehow ran into each other. They kept falling into each other’s bed despite over and over promising to never do so again.
((You ddI!!! Also to be clear Kye is not a creepy stalker type if Alex said no he’d listen. They just still have messy feelings for each other.))
"Hey," Kye says, shuffling his feet uncomfortably. "So, it looked like you were having a fun time in there..."
Why was he doing this? He knew he needed to let this go, but the promise of one more night with Alex each time this happened was hard to resist...
((Yay!!!! Okay, got it, I'll try to write him that way ^^))
“Huh?” Alex asked, confused.
((Awesome. They’re definitely bad for each other cuz of all the bad history but their is still some level of care they just don’t know how to have a healthy relationship))
"Was that your new boyfriend you were eating with?"
((Got it, makes sense!!!))
“Boyfriend? He is not my boyfriend.” Alex said, realizing who he meant. “You and I both know he’s just....affected by me. I don’t have any control over that.”
((:D))
Kye nods--he knew he shouldn't be relieved but he was all the same. "There's a reason you should stick to other mers--only way to have a genuine relationship without having to worry about all of that."
((Hey, I'm home!!! It was a pretty okay afternoon, but the end of work was kind of weird? I usually start locking up at 4:48, get back to my desk around 4:49, and then clock out at 5:00 so I'm not leaving early, just right on the dot, say goodbye to the owner on my way out, and then go out to my car. Just for reference. So today I get back in from locking up and my supervisor is there and said the owner said for us to walk or together, no real explanation? Part of me is like, "Wtf did I do that I need to be walked out?? I don't think I did anything, no one's said anything to me if I did!" My supervisor did give me a couple instructions for tomorrow since she's coming in late so that could be it, or maybe the owner just didn't want to be disturbed since he was on the phone today when we left, or maybe it's a safety in numbers thing? But it's still kind of freaking me out thinking I did something wrong ^^;))
“I don’t need relationships right now.” Alex mumbled. “They’re messy and complicated.”
((Oh yikes that’s not fun I’m sorry but I’m sure it’s nothing!!! As for me I am craving gummy bears but am too lazy to get them hehe))
"Doesn't need to be a relationship--nothing wrong with a casual hookup now and then to help relieve the stress, right?"
((Thanks *HUGS* Oh man, the struggle is real XD))
“Even if both parties know that hookup is bad for them?”
((Right? I keep telling myself don’t eat the ones I got for the trip cuz they are super hard to get ahold of lol))
"Is it really so bad if it doesn't really mean anything and it's just for fun?"
((Fair XD))
“Is this trying to help me out or help you out?” Alex breathed.
((LoL XD maybe I’ll go when my sisters leave as well so they don’t know I got some Hahaha XD))
“Both?” Kye answers with a hopeful grin.
((Nice, good idea!!!! XD Also... Baby Yoda better be fucking mind numbingly adorable and we BETTER get our live action rebels if I’m going to get through this shit show :/))
“You want to bed me don’t you?”
((Hmmm I wonder how you feel about this show XD))
“Absolutely.” Kye grins at him shamelessly.
((Alright, I have found Baby Yoda’s cuteness levels acceptable, but he’s the only reason I’m still watching XD))
Alex merely raised an eyebrow at him.
((Lol))
“What? C’mon, we don’t get to see each other that often! Why not make the most of it? For old time’s sake?”
((Yep XD But seriously--”weapons are a part of my religion” who tf wrote this shit?? I’m definitely agreeing with the theory this guy is part of some really strict sect of the Mandalorians that is WAAAY different from regular Mandalorians :/))
“Why do we keep doing this?” ((Yeaaaa :/))
“Because we both enjoy it? And really, since you keep refusing to come back even though it’s safe now, when else are you going to get to be with someone else who understands you in a way non-mers never could?” Kye answers, trying not to let resentment into his voice--no, he didn’t want to start any fights, not tonight.
(((Yeppp :/))
“How do we know its safe?”
“We’re really well hidden this time, and it’s been years with no one having any clue where we are except you!”
“That’s what we thought last time.”
“It’s different this time, I promise! A-Alex... I-I want you to come home...”
“This is my home now.” Alex whispered. “I’m happy here and doing good work. Shouldn’t that mean something?”
“Doesn’t what we had mean something to you? Don’t I mean anything to you?” Kye asks brokenly.
“You do mean something but....our history is messed up.....”
“We can start over, can’t we?” Kye pleads. “We can make a fresh start, if you’d just give it a chance instead of pulling away like you always do!”
“Damn you Kye!” Alex snapped, shoving Kye against his car before kissing him. He wanted to start over to get a fresh start, but he also knew it would never happen. But he still wanted someone to hold him, to love him, to pretend everything was okay if just for a little bit.
Kye eagerly wraps his arms around Alex’s waist, pulling his hips up against his own, pressing deeply into the kiss. He wanted Alex so badly, wanted him to just be his again, wanted them to be happy...
((...Is it bad I’m wondering if one of them finally has to put a stop to it before it gets too far because it really isn’t healthy and they need to finally make a clean break of this?))
Alex tangled his fingers in Kye’s hair, pushing himself against Kye, moaning in pleasure. It had been so long since he’d let anyone touch him like this..... ((On the one hand they do need to. But on the other I think them havign this weird thing will be the only thing that keeps Zeb and Alex from getting together way to quickly haha))
Kye grips Alex a little so that he could turn their positions around, shoving Alex up against the car and pressing in between his legs, his fingers clenching in Alex’s hair, nipping feverishly at his lips, needing this.
((Fair enough XD))
Alex pulled Kye closer, grinding his aching member against Kye’s, moaning in pleasure as he fumbled with the door handle of his car. It would be a tight fit but taking Kye home would take too long and be a little too intimate. Best to keep things quick and dirty and part ways.
Kye had imagined this being a lot sweeter and more romantic when he’d been thinking about this earlier, but hell, he’d take what he can get. He eagerly palms Alex’s bulge, stroking him through the fabric as he presses into the kiss, his tongue seeking entrance to Alex’s mouth--he couldn’t lose this chance.
Not breaking the kiss, Alex fumbled the car door open before panting, “I want to ride you so bad.”
“That can certainly be arranged,” Kye purrs, trailing his fingers along Alex’s jaw.
Alex smirked and pulled him into a rough kiss before pushing Kye into the car first, reaching down to start working his pants off. ((Should we move this to messages?))
“Someone’s eager,” Kye teases. “I love it.”
((Probably for the best, yeah ^^;))
