*his eyes remain closed as they break for air. the break is brief, though, and the renewed kiss that he pursues is as deep as where they'd left off.*

*--well, he wasn't expecting that, but isn't going to argue it either. happily kisses back, maybe pressing Tatsumi against the tree a little more*

*see, that's the nice thing with Dee -- interacting with him isn't like playing a guessing game. reaching up with one hand to thread his fingers through Dee's hair, surprisingly gentle for a guy who's getting pushed into a tree.*

*is that a good thing? makes a soft sound at the fingers in his hair, slowly deepening the kiss*

*given the uncomfortable corner that all of the guessing currently has Tatsumi backed into, yeah, it's a good thing right now. between the tree at his back and Dee at his front, there isn't much room for movement, but pressing forward slightly into the kiss, his fingers rubbing soft circles into Dee's scalp.*

*tugs Tatsumi a little closer, away from the three, though he draws back from the kiss again, kind of blinking stupidly for a moment*

*remains quietly in place when Dee pulls away, his eyes still closed.*

*takes a step back with a deep breath*

*draws his arms back from where they were wrapped around Dee, sets about cleaning his glasses, which had gotten a bit smudged.*

*watches quietly for a minute*

...so, what were we talkin' about before the mistletoe interfered?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Problems. The difficulty of finding the solutions to them.

[cock-my-gun.livejournal.com]

...ah, right.

You didn't exactly tell me what your problem was, did ya.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Neither did you.

*takes a minute to think about something*

Ryo walked in on me an' someone. Not that kinda walkin in, but - from what he saw, I'm guessin' that's what he thinks. An' when I tried to go explain it to him, I didn't exactly do it the right way.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

So, he's angry because he thought you were with someone else...? If it was just a misunderstanding, what was it about your explanation that didn't work?

[cock-my-gun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much. I guess the way I went about it made him more suspicious.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

So he's jealous?

[cock-my-gun.livejournal.com]

...I guess so?

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Has the other party involved in this been helping or hindering the resolution of all of this?

[cock-my-gun.livejournal.com]

T' be honest, I don't think he understands why Ryo acted that way.

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Does he know both of you?

[cock-my-gun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he knows both of us. An' he knows about our relationship too. But it's--

[since it's a continuation, I'm just gonna say the rest is locked k]

It's Pell. I dunno if Wraeththu have the same uh, standards we do.

[k lock goes here]

[kagekachou.livejournal.com]

Wraeththu... That's the hermaphrodite race, correct?

Re: [k lock goes here]

[cock-my-gun.livejournal.com]

Yeah, them.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. Surely, though, he must understand that others have different customs and that different things hold special meaning to people.
