"“Heads up!” he shouted. “And arms OUT!”

Pohatu looked startled, but flung his arms out to his sides."

Bioship day 12! Around their first meeting, first ship, you get the idea.

"Cuddling is not enough," Pohatu said distractedly while laying on the couch and playing a video game, "I need to hold you until our body temperatures match so perfectly we're completely indistinguishable."

Kopaka raised his head from his book and stared directly at him.

His boyfriend also paused almost immediately and looked back at him with the same exact expression as his own - confused, lost, baffled, somewhat scandalized and desperately trying to understand what the hell was so indecent about what he'd just said.

For a couple minutes they just remained still as statues while the gears in their brains struggled to find an answer.

"Did you ask me to have Toa sex?" Kopaka offered.

"I guess?" Pohatu replied.

"... Honestly sex might be less intimate than whatever that is."

"Oh yeah, I agree. It kinda feels we should be like, at least five years into our marriage before we're allowed to do that."

"Exactly. So we won't do that."

"If you don't want to then no."

"Did you want to?"

"I don't even know why I said that."

"Alright. Well."

"Glad we figured that out!"

"Hm."

And so they went back to their own previous occupations, totally and utterly consumed with whatever metaphysical element-based brand of lust this feeling was for the rest of the evening.

🗓 Thursday, October 24th, 2024

While supervising his class taking a test, Kopaka "hallucinates" a hole in the wall between his and Tahu's classrooms. This disturbs him, but he brushes it off when Pohatu stops by to ask if they can switch their trade period. He ends up agreeing to teach his own gym class, and becomes flustered when Pohatu jokingly refers to meeting up for lunch as a date. At lunch, they discuss Kopaka's students, and afterwards Pohatu can't stop thinking about Kopaka, having realized he's fallen in love with him. Going to the office to get some printing, he discusses it a little with Vakama, who encourages him to be forthright with his feelings before freezing up and demanding he go to the gym immediately. On arrival, he realizes a light fixture is going to crash down on Kopaka and tackles him out of the way just in time. That evening, Kopaka is confused by his feelings about Pohatu and concludes that something is wrong with him.
