"Guess so," said Aaron, still smirking.

But he pushed off Mushu, getting up and then reaching down to pull him up. He let his eyes drop and then climb up Mushu's body, obviously checking out what Mushu was packing. No point hiding it. They both knew what was about to happen.

"Lead the way. Never been to the Pride U gym showers before," he commented, clapping Mushu on the shoulder.

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

Mushu grinned, taking Aaron's hand to help himself to his feet. He could feel the other's eyes on him, checking him out and he chose to puff his chest a bit and give a cocky little pose for a second.

"Oh yeah? Well you're in for a treat," Mushu replied as he led the way off the basketball court, briefly pausing to scoop up his clothes and shoes to take with over there. He'd have to get dressed again eventually.

The uni gym showers weren't really that special. The Pride U gym showers functioned just fine. The curtains that went with each little shower stall were looking a little worse for wear, but it'd be fine. It wasn't like there was anyone else around right then.

As they made their way in, he set his stuff down on one of the benches in there. Then he pulled a shower curtain open and proceeded to wiggle out of his boxers. No need to draw that out. "The treat by the way is that the water actually does stay hot for a good amount of time," Mushu added with a cheeky grin as he stepped into the shower, turning around to face Aaron Z.

Who Is In Control || Magic Dragon

[madmagicmim]

She did raise a slight eyebrow at the idea that he was giving her a blank check in order to keep the favor. Risky with her. Very risky. Not that she wanted to take advantage...much. But Mushu wasn't exactly known for his limits, and her own were a little shaky.

Still, it made her all the more curious about his family member here in town. Perhaps she'd do a little of her own research. Maybe he wanted some company on another night.

She chugged the rest of her own drink just as quickly and set the empty glass down, feeling just a little swimmy with the speed. The tug had her letting out a laugh as sparkling as the drink. "I'm counting on you for that good time. It feels like the night for it. No cares, right? We're just going to have a good time." As soon as they came to a stop, she pulled him in close and slid into the dance.

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

No cares. Exactly.

This was why Mushu had always liked Mim. She'd always had an attitude that he could relate with. She'd always been so easy to get along with too. He was also counting on her for that good time too. He was sure together they'd find a way to have the best time.

"Exactly. No worries, no stress, no real life struggles. Just fun," Mushu agreed as they finally pulled to a stop on the dance floor. He let her draw him in, his arms wrapping around her so they could dance together without being drawn apart by all the other people dancing around them.

"This beat is pretty sick!" He yelled as he started to move along with the beat of whatever song was playing. He didn't know it and he didn't really care either.

"You want me to get you off? Really? Right here?" Aaron joked, lips sliding into a smirk.

Look. It was right there.

And so was Mushu's... answer. Right there, against Aaron's thigh.

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

Mushu spluttered and then couldn't help but laugh because that idea was too insane. But also kind of hot. But that just proved he was too horny for the moment. "Dude, I don't have an exhibition kink." Was that the right word for that? He was pretty sure it was, but he also didn't really wander much into the kink territory generally to know.

Granted, the way that he was hard and he knew it and Aaron Z knew it suggested otherwise, which was mildly embarrassing. But whatever. Mushu could always power on.

He squirmed underneath him, which really didn't help as he brushed against Aaron's thigh a little more. "Shower. Then if you'd like to help me out there..." Mushu trailed off with a cheeky grin. "Of course, that still means you'd have to move right now." He poked Aaron Z with his big toe.

Baller Birthday | Zuzu + Mishu

[nobody-like-z]

To be clear, Aaron would hella say no to a guy on his birthday. Unless that guy was Robaire. He'd just claim he never saw the text till it was too late.

But Mushu wanted to play basketball. And yeah, man, Aaron was usually down too. The dude was lucky that he didn't have anything on his schedule for 4*Town, so getting outta the house sounded kinda ideal.

He showed up about fifteen minutes after Mushu said to meet, but Aaron rarely got places on time anyway. Nothing personal.

"Yo man, happy birthday," said Aaron when he popped in, going to dap him up.

@dragon-not-a-lizard @plutothe-pup

[plutothe-pup]

Milo had just gotten home after finishing up a shift at the Market when Mushu texted him - he'd been aware, of course, of the other man's birthday, having already texted him previously that morning to say happy birthday, but he hadn't actually expected Mushu to reach back out to him to invite him to hang out.

They had gotten a lot closer in the last few months, mostly bonding over their misery on the team, but... to be asked to hang out on a person's birthday was kind of special, wasn't it?

And Milo would never turn down a friend who invited him to come hang out on their special day, so - sure. Milo had hopped in the shower, grabbed some belongings and made his way over to the gym to be right about on time as requested. Easily greeting Mushu with a hug (whether he liked it or not) as he wished him a happy birthday again in person this time.

Despite accepting the invitation though, basketball wasn't always his sport of choice - also despite Mushu assuring him he was the right 'height' for it and everything. So Milo was glad for a bit of time to warm up as well, knowing they were 'waiting' on another person anyways.

Except Milo hadn't guessed who that other was going to be until he'd heard them come in, the basketball immediately fumbling out of his hands as his gaze whipped over his shoulder to spot Aaron Z beside Mushu.

Kill me.

Swiping his palms against his shorts, Milo quickly bent to recover the ball, tucking it against his side with his arm as he swallowed back that uncomfortable lump in his throat - unable to muster more of a greeting than a simple nod of his head.

@dragon-not-a-lizard @nobody-like-z

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

Mushu was hype! His two favorite people had turned up to play. This was going to be the best birthday he'd ever had. Not that there was much competition for that. The birthdays he'd had back home hadn't been very celebrated. At least not by his father. His mother would usually make him a little treat, but it would always be late, and definitely when his father was out. And his brother... he tried when he could.

That said, this time he could actually make his birthday extra fun! He didn't even mind the hug that Milo gave him, hugging him back with an enthusiastic slap on the back. And when Aaron Z turned up he was bouncing forward to greet him eagerly too. "Thanks dude. This one's gonna be the best one yet," he decided.

"Okay hear me out. I thought we could play Around the World or Horse. Or even a real chaotic match with a score." He was still just so giddy to play his favorite game and that he could do it again. "What do you think? I'm up for any version of the game, I just want to play ball with my favorite sports buddies."

To Aaron, none of this was a big deal. Not even the whole shirtless thing. Bodies had always been just bodies to Aaron, until something switched in his brain. Usually, that switch was pretty intentional, triggered by alcohol or drugs or good music or all three of these things, plus Aaron's own desire to get the hell out of his head.

Getting turned on in a basketball court would be a new one.

But it happened-- to Mushu. Not Aaron. He saw it in the guy's face, though, his cheeks flushed, his hand warm, his pupils wide. And not that Aaron hooked up with everyone who showed him interest...

...but it didn't seem like a bad idea.

Aaron's switch flipped.

"Nah, man," said Aaron. He grinned. "You lost. Definitely not a tie."

A beat. Then:

"Wanna hit up the showers?"

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

Mushu would be more embarrassed. In fact his cheeks were definitely a bit rosier, even if more of his blood had gone a direction he hadn't really wanted. But hey... he was usually pretty good at distracting other people from a situation.

But he was sure Aaron noticed. He wasn't drawing away from him though. Not immediately. "Boooo," Mushu protested just on principle. "I personally think you cheated with those dumb toe socks," he decided, though it wasn't really that serious.

Showers. Yep yes. Great idea. "Yeah. Sounds good," he agreed, still a little breathless. He wanted to blame falling onto his back for that one still. But really he knew... it was being this close to someone he knew was really hot. The shower could maybe save him.

"Wanna get off me then? I'm not saying you're stronger than me..." except that Aaron kind of seemed to be stronger than him. "But you are kinda heavy." But hey once Aaron Z moved he could totally find a way to deal with his awkward situation. The shower was good for that too.

The end of my clumsy flight | Howling Dragon

[oh-heartlessman]

Howl fetched the spectacles.

Or more accurately, Howl outstretched their hand and the spectacles floated towards it. He put them on and gestured for Mushu to get comfortable. 

Today, thankfully, Maggie was at school. Which meant that the risk of interdimensional hijinks was significantly lower than usual (though not zero — it was never zero in this house). Howl could properly concentrate, too, without worrying that Maggie would burst downstairs and demand playtime. 

“Tell me about this moment of yours,” Howl said, as he began to survey the magic around Mushu. “In the dream. It might help me put together this unusual puzzle of yourself.” 

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

The spectacles came out again and Mushu had to resist a little smile when he saw Howl put them on again. They did look pretty funny, but it did put him a little at ease again as he relaxed where he was sitting.

"Okay so... I've been spending all this time until now trying to... I don't know trying to unlock Dragon abilities I just didn't have you know? For months or over a year..." That context was kind of important, he thought. Maybe. He'd wanted to be special for so long and couldn't really embrace who he was.

He sighed. "During the dream... I don't know. During the dream I think I kind of just... gave up? Or I... I had this strong feeling that what I needed to do was just let it go and that might end the dream sooner for others. It's hard to explain," Mushu admitted with a wrinkle of his nose.

"But I felt like I promised the universe I'd stop trying to be one and then uh... well then I woke up and it wasn't gone... I could still shift."

Mushu was wiggly, slippery, like a big, spastic fish. But Aaron had a lot of fuckin' experience with fish. Sure, it had been a while now since he had to wrestle one into submission...

...but it was kinda like riding a bike. Came right back.

So even though Mushu slipped from his hold for one second, Aaron was prepared. Mushu lunged-- Aaron lunged too. He caught Mushu around the waist, and this time, got his other arm around him too. He picked him up like a doll, swung him back around so he couldn't get to the ball, now rolling leisurely away.

Aaron set Mushu down, which was his first mistake.

His second was once Mushu got his foot between Aaron's--

BAM! Aaron yelped, toppled forward. Mushu went with him. In a second, they were on the ground, Aaron on top of Mushu, bare skin pressed together.

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

It all happened so quickly.

One minute he was still trying to wrestle Aaron, then Aaron had picked him up like a doll and swung him around... and then he'd managed to get his foot in a gap and suddenly they were both tumbling to the ground.

"AH!" He yelled, hitting the ground hard and gasping for breath for a minute, the wind knocked out of him from his back hitting the gym floor. It took Mushu a moment to really register that Aaron was pinning him down, his chest pressed against Mushu's own... and only the small layer of his boxer shorts between the two of them.

Shit. Shit he definitely couldn't hide the fact that this whole thing had kinda sorta... turned him on. Mushu would blame it on the adrenaline and everything. His cheeks flushed as he glanced Aaron Z over, a hand reaching up as if to maybe shove him off...but at the same time... wouldn't he avoid further awkwardness by not doing that? Then he could think of something boner-killing without too much notice.

He patted Aaron Z's chest instead and took a shaky breath in and out. "So.... I think we should call it a draw," Mushu suggested with a cheeky grin. "What d'you think?"

Baller Birthday | Zuzu + Mishu

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

It was his birthday.

Crazy! Now he was officially the drinking age in the states, if he ever chose to go there. It didn't seem especially likely. Muyang had already wished him a happy birthday, and miraculously had even given him a small cupcake with a candle and everything.

"Happy birthday little brother," he'd said. And Mushu took this momentary time of affection to try to wheedle an opportunity for himself in there. "Sayyyy Gege? Since it is my special day, cannn we make a deal? You leave me to my own devices for the next... I don't know, few hours?" It had been a tough little negotiation, but he'd won in the end. Neither Muyang nor their guardian Crickey were going to disrupt his day. Miraculous!

Obviously this meant he was running to his favorite place in the world: the gym with the basketball court on campus. And he was sending off texts before he could think anything of it. First to Aaron Z: "yooo play ball with me today. It's my bday. Don't say no to a guy on his bday =[ '

He then sent his other text to Milo, a quick 'dude! bday game of bb in the gym?? be there or be square or something.' He then made his way into the gym, eagerly grabbing a basketball and started warming himself up, running and taking his first shot at one of the hoops.

Bad Influence || Mishu ft. KB & Mùyáng

[plutothe-pup]

Despite his attempt to silence his cousin, Milo knew the damage was done right from the moment he saw Mushu's brother's gaze shift back to Mushu with an intensity he unfortunately recognized quite well.

"Right." Milo quickly agreed, retracting his hand from KB as he shook his head. Honestly Milo didn't even have a clue what KB was even talking about, he might've thought his cousin was just making shit up to get his friend in trouble for the amusement of it all, but -

The way Mushu reacted told Milo that KB had genuine information.

Something... Milo should probably ask about later, honestly.

Not now though, of course.

"I'm sure it wasn't really an argument anyways. KB likes to embelish things." He assured with a shake of his head and a grimace. Though KB shot him a dirty look. "I do not." "--Anyways uh - sorry. I'm sure you're also very busy! So... We should probably uhm... let you guys get to it too."

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

Mushu didn't really want to be left alone with his brother. The dread of the explanation he would have to give now that KB had exposed that particular tale on campus was... well it was strong.

But he also didn't really want to deal with Milo's friend KB somehow ending up in cahoots with his brother Muyang. That seemed like a disaster. So yeah...okay. Maybe it was time to change course.

"Right. Uh... Milo I'll see you later for some sports fun yeah?" He said, stepping back and gently... no okay maybe slightly forcefully started pushing his brother away from the other two. "I'll text you." That seemed like the next best move. Best to move on before KB could somehow tell Muyang other stuff that had happened around town.

He did a quick little wave goodbye to Milo and KB before he started trying to drag his brother away from this as fast as possible.

[madmagicmim]

Mim let out a bright laugh and shrugged. "Good thing I'm not a regular person. I needed something fun and sparkly tonight." Her alcohol tolerance wasn't the craziest, but it was pretty good. This would be enough to get her on her way to tipsy and that was what mattered.

Leaning against the counter, she gave him a teasing look as she tapped the center of his chest. "Why would you trust a favor freely given? Now you know I'll be committed."

But what did she want?

To forget mostly. To have a night where the rest of the world didn't exist and she cold feel young and fun and like she was at the center of everything for just a little while.

"Why don't we start with a dance? It'll give me a view of the whole club. Or, if you really want a bonus, why not see if you can get one of those VIP passes for a night?"

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

Mushu couldn't help but grin. "Yeah true. I always liked that about you," he admitted. It was what had drawn him to Mim at first. Before his roommate got all hooked into her and Mushu had decided...well maybe not. He liked the relative peace he had in the dorms for the moment.

Though now he was thinking he hadn't drank anything nearly intense enough to match up with Mim. Which he should have been doing. Maybe he'd get something more intense next round. "I can't emphasize enough how much I do NOT want my family doppleganger to spot me tonight," he replied. "I will trust whatever the hell you want me to do in return." Was that risky with Mim? Maybe, but he didn't care.

"We can dance," Mushu agreed quickly, chugging the rest of his beer quickly and setting the bottle down on the bar before hopping off his seat. "I can try to swing for VIP but that'll take a bit more time. But dancing? We can have a good time right now," he offered, reaching for her hand to tug her toward the dance floor with him. "Pluuus it's so crowded it'll be a lot harder for him to spot me out there."

Hopefully, that was true--!

Nemo decided to shake off any residual worry. He grinned along with Mushu and smashed their fists together. "You did most of it. You really know how to be annoying, huh," Nemo joked.

Though you know... sometimes that was a talent. Maybe that was Mushu's, if it wasn't turning into a Dragon or negotiating diplomatic deals between magicks.

"Okay-- now we just have to finish this up! I think we could get it done in the next hour if we really try."

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

Mushu couldn't help but snort. "I have a very special set of skills," he said in a deep voice like that old guy Liam Neeson in that movie he'd seen the one time. That line was the only thing that had really stuck. But it worked for this moment. "I know how to aggravate people, yeah," he admitted after a moment.

It wasn't a very great skill to have, but it did work in their favor in this moment. And it did get him out of some stuff he didn't want to deal with. So sure... he would take being annoying if it worked out for him like this.

"Yeah you got it. I'll take this side over here," Mushu offered, gesturing to one side and making his way over to start digging into the weeds again and get rid of them. He was a bit more motivated again, now that they had conquered an annoying raccoon.

We Ball || Zuzu

[nobody-like-z]

Aaron was determined to win now. He still had a few shots banked, a great headstart, but-- he got that competition in his blood now. He grinned, gaining control of the ball and then veering back to the other side of the court.

Mushu got in front of him. It was kinda comical, all in all-- this dude flailing around in nothing but his boxers.

"Bro, no contact!" Aaron laughed as Mushu grabbed his arm. He nearly lost control of the ball again, barely managing to dribble it behind him to avoid Mushu's greedy other hand. But he was still gripping him. When Aaron tried to yank his arm away to dribble the ball back, he yanked Mushu with him. Their chests collided, and he missed the ball.

Mushu made a lunge, but-- fuck, the guy wanted to wrestle? Aaron would wrestle.

"Hell no--"

Aaron grabbed his other shoulder, pushing Mushu away. He tried to get an arm under Mushu's, so he could grab his torso.

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

He could say no contact, but Mushu was more than willing to break the rules now that Aaron Z was still showing off with his toe socks and his insane basketball skills. It was annoying! And also really hot... but mostly it was annoying! At least when he hadn't recruited Aaron Z to his intramural team yet anyway.

Mushu still tried to grab the ball, yelping when Aaron Z yanked him along because well... yeah Mushu had gone for the underhanded grabbing tactic. He had sort of figured... or hoped maybe that Aaron Z would continue doing the way he had. He almost managed to grab the ball, but then Aaron was grabbing his torso and he cursed again.

"Shit... dude why are you so strong?" Mushu whined, squirming and twisting to try to get out of the grab Aaron had on him now. If he had actually bothered to go to the gym to lift more like he always told himself he would this would be going a lot better for him. The ball had been knocked away in the scuffle, and Mushu tried to lunge for it again.

The end of my clumsy flight | Howling Dragon

[oh-heartlessman]

Howl nodded along.

“Ah, so you’re wondering if traces of the price magic deal might still remain?” Howl asked. “Even if what you gave up has returned? Interesting — I supposed anything can happen, really.”

Howl was not one to discount the possibility of any situation. After all, they had seen the impossible first hand. Multiple times. 

“I can do an evaluation, if you’d like. Bring out those terrible glasses and have a look. Though,” he paused dramatically, as he swept his gaze over Mushu, “from just looking at you, I can’t detect it. But better be thorough, eh?”

Especially since it wasn’t as if Howl had actually done anything to undo the price magic. He’d been about to start the first steps of it. Not even the first steps. The preliminary diagnosis. 

Curious and curious. 

He wondered if the dream had anything to do with this.

“But yes, if you’d like me to take a closer look, I certainly can. Just get comfortable — it might take a moment.” 

@dragon-not-a-lizard

[dragon-not-a-lizard]

"Yeah I mean I don't really know everything that went on. And I had this weird moment in the dream. I don't know... I wasn't a Dragon before really. I don't think..." He faltered. "I was human-locked so long so I figured there was no real trace of it. But I can still you know... shift so." It was a weird moment. He didn't know how to feel about it yet.

Because Mushu wasn't sure he could feel anything about it.

Mushu settled back much like he had before everything had gone sideways and a Dragon dream took over. "Thank you," Mushu mumbled softly. "I really appreciate your help." He remembered his manners now, in a moment where he felt the most vulnerable... where he would finally accept the reality of his situation... one way or another.
