âI didnât mean tâ imply that ya forgot. Just kind weird to, yâknow, say hey letâs talk âbout heats- specifically my heat.â His nose scrunched and he made a face like he just ate something sour. âYâknow I ainât got a lotta shame, but that sorta thingâs just..â Again, he scrambled for a word so he could go about this as gingerly as he could. Aka without sounding like a goddamn hedonistic bastard. âIntense.â
The added closeness between them helped calm his prickling nerve by a centimeter. Casey looked down at their joined hands as he thought. âBasic things like.. get me to stay hydrated. One of the biggest things that can make everythinâ go south- itâs a real nightmare. Gonna feel feverish as is, but with the, uh, other stuff goinâ on itâs real easy to lose track. Same thinâ with eatinâ âcept I just need nutrition instead of, like, quantity. Iâm gonna stock up on the stuff I usually eat, or try to eat, donât worry.â
âBut, uh.. âbout the obvious stuff⌠I know I got a pretty high libido as is nâ itâs just gonna get.. worse. And Iâm probably gonna be real whiny and annoying. Even Missy leaves me alone nâ thatâs sayinâ somethinâ.â
âHey, itâs okay, Case. You donât have to be insecure or awkward about these things with me. Before all of this, us I mean, we were best friends. We donât keep secrets and this is one of those things. I know itâs gonna be intense but I can handle it.â He smiled as he brushed his thumb over his loverâs hand.Â
Kiaan listened, taking in everything and nodding along. He soaked up all the information and smiled. âGotcha. Lotta water and nutrients. So basically I wonât cook or else itâll be turkey dinosaurs and microwave mash. You know how shit of a cook I am. Pretty sure neither of those things have any goodness in them as is.â He chuckled a little.Â
A frown before a smile. âWow you honestly think Iâm gonna have an issue with a high libido? Dude count me in. Itâs been way too long and Iâve wanted you for freaking ages. Iâm sure I can handle a sore ass or whatever.â He teased with a wink. âNever too needy for me, Casey. I just wanna help you through this. Weâll be fine. We can go shopping together and stock up with whatever you need. I can even work a few less shifts at work to make sure Iâm here for you. They wonât mind, itâs not as if weâre run off our feet. Not many people dying!â He tried to make a joke but the subject matter wasnât really hilarious.
