[crashout]

Do you? [An automatic deflect, but he takes a breath and tries again. ] I'm working on it. We're all kind of in a bad situation right now.

[uncurtained]

...Yeah, yesterday.

[awkward.]

It definitely is. I’m just saying, if you need someone...

[crashout]

[....he kind of wants to ask who but decides that's also awkward. But...there's a slow lift of his eyebrows. ]

Are you propositioning me? [It's teasing but a hint of seriousness in his tone, too.] Very forward of you.

[uncurtained]

[She's definitely shoving at his shoulder.]

I don't really do the whole shy thing. Anyways... I want to make sure you're okay.

[crashout]

[There's a quiet laugh but he seems to be focusing on the matter at hand.]

Then I guess I'm in good hands. [...] ...it's better to be safe, isn't it? If you're okay with it.

[That's sort of a "yeah, I'll go and do it." ]

[uncurtained]

[She nods.]

I am. So... My room or yours?

[crashout]

Probably yours? Two roommates makes it harder to know when it's going to be empty.

[uncurtained]

Probably a better choice, as long as you can ignore the... ink splotches. My roommate has interesting hobbies.

[hm.]

[crashout]

I've been in worse places. Bed's clean, isn't it? [But he's crawling out of his blanket fort, sitting up and rising to his feet before extending a hand to her.]

[uncurtained]

Concerning, but I'll look past it for now. And - yes, I promise the bed isn't gross.

[She takes his hand, turning towards the exit.]

[crashout]

[He doesn't let go of her hand, at least, letting her take the lead.]

It's not that concerning, is it? My job's taken me some pretty questionable places.

[Plus. Dcom. But haha.]

[uncurtained]

That fact is a little bit concerning on its own.

[But she doesn't want to get that far into it right now, when she's trying to keep the mood light.]

[crashout]

[He shrugs lightly and drops it because he doesn't want to think about it either.]

...so hey. What's my competition here? Am I going up against some sex god?

[Bad jokes all the way down, but just something to keep the mood stupid.]

[uncurtained]

[She laughs.]

Are you asking me about yesterday? Some people might consider that invasive, you know.

[But it's clear from her tone she doesn't mind.]

[crashout]

And some people consider it doing some research. [A hopeful grin? Look he's actually kind of nervous...he likes Beck enough he would like to make this good for her, too. Especially since it's a favor.] If you really don't want to share though...

[uncurtained]

[She thinks about it for a moment, but:]

...Okay, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t mind. It was Higekiri.

[crashout]

[...there's a laugh.]

So what you're saying is I shouldn't have to worry about it.

[uncurtained]

Yeah, pretty much. I also feel like I should say it’s not a competition...?

[crashout]

[There's a half-grin.] It sort of is. [Zero explanation.

Eventually though, they get to Beck's room and he stares at the door while he waits for her to open it.] It's...[Well. May as well be honest.] It's kind of been a while. So. Yeah.

[How does he keep making himself come off as awkward...]

[uncurtained]

[She gives him a curious look at the first thing he says, but it’s the second she comments on.]

You don’t have to be nervous, I promise. It’ll be fine.

[She waves her clamshell in front of the lock, twisting the doorknob open and beckoning him in.]

[crashout]

[Easy for her to say. As far as he's concerned girls are always good at sex but he might also be biased. There's a dubious sort of look as he follows her, closing the door behind them and already heading through. He's not quite heading straight for the bed even though they're literally here to fuck, but he's trying to relax.]

I am not nervous. I'm just...okay, fine, whatever maybe I am. [Ughhh. He's just not going to look at her as he picks up his strides toward the bed more purposefully now.]

[uncurtained]

[She walks with him, but:]

We don’t have to do this right now. We can take it slow... I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.

[crashout]

Beck. [And this he says sincerely:] You are one of the least uncomfortable people here. It's fine.

[Sleeping with someone who isn't Akane is still such a weird thought. Then again, sleeping with people to survive is also weird but in the grand scheme of things this almost feels like it's par for the course. So. He gives her a small smile to prove he is absolutely not freaking out.] Though this is sort of a first.

[Thank you for zero clarification. ]

[uncurtained]

Aww. I’m flattered.

[But, more seriously:]

How so?

[crashout]

Usually the girls I sleep with are people I was already hooking up with. Not girls who get to hold my life in their hands.
