[bodyoftheseus]

Hey Ker.

[ He moved to the side in a rather practiced motion - this was something that'd happened before, many times. V chuckled at Kerry's excitement as well as the familiarity of it.

The common area of the apartment was clean, tidy. There was an appropriate dishevelment to show it was lived in but the rest was well kept. There was no loose trash about, no dishes in the sink. Clearly these two boys ran a tight ship. ]

Haven't seen ya excited like this in a while.

[ He closed the door and trailed in behind him. ]

cw; for casual drug use basically just for the rest of this thread

[secondconflict]

Hey! It's a whole new world! [He is holding a container with the bibingka in it but he still holds up his hands and gestures at everything around them.]

Get to experience new music, new drugs... [His free hand pulls a little bag from his pocket slowly, almost seductively. The expression on his face has more to do with enjoying the sight of V more than the drugs tho.] And who knows what else.

[bodyoftheseus]

[ Even almost seductive was enough to draw V's eye up and down Kerry's body. He very much remembered what happened at the bar after their drinking escapade - it was front and center in hid mind, really - but looking was free, and looking was something he knew Kerry wouldn't deny him. He so badly wanted to suggest himself as a new experience, but he wouldn't let the words come.

Instead he got in close to Kerry, as if going for a kiss, and took the bibingka from Kerry. There's a mischievous smile on his face as he opened the container a crack to smell it. ]

Your cooking, for one.

[ Not that this is the first time V's had Kerry's cooking, but he could count on one hand. He set the bibingka on the counter. Yes, he's being awkward. He can't get the bar out of his head.

V's nervously picking at a spot on his arm without realizing it. There's tension to him that lends itself to an anxious restlessness. He's feeling flighty as hell but there's nowhere for him to go considering they're in his damn apartment. ]

[secondconflict]

Yeah, well, don't expect too much from that. We usually only make it around Christmas, and that's part o' why I know how to make 'em at all.

[He needs to find someone who can make good comfort food, instead of just traditional snacks around holidays. Those kinds of snacks have loaded memories associated with them.

Still, he likes that he can bring them here to a new world.

He catches the tension and the way that V fidgets and moves closer again.]

Was hoping to share more than just my cookin', V. If you're still interested, I mean. Kind of treated you like shit last time. [He knows halting things for the sake of another person can't have made this V feel very good.]

[bodyoftheseus]

Ker, the first fourteen years've my life was eatin' scraps out of the trash.

[ That is to say: V would be delighted with just about anything home made unless it was actually terrible. The luxury life was nice, but it wasn't his roots.

V quit picking at his arm, but there was still anxiety in the way he grips his arm. ]

I am interested, 'n I want to, but... [ V's speaking with a candidness that was almost out of place with the streetkid. ] I can't do what happened last time again, 'n I know that with you I can't restrain myself.

[secondconflict]

You don't gotta. [Kerry responds. After a moment, he steps closer and puts a hand on V's arm. He hums as he's reminded that touching causes a connection they won't have back home. It means he picks up on V's anxiety, and that means V can pick up that he means this. He has a desire to know V better, to explore what their connection means.]

I don't want you to restrain yourself.

[bodyoftheseus]

[ His breath hitched for a moment as Kerry touched him and he was momentarily overwhelmed with the rush of emotion from Kerry. The honesty helped, but the desire helped more. V understood what Kerry was saying and, for a moment, the anxiety he felt shuffled to the back of his mind. Not gone, but certainly buried. V covered Kerry's hand with his own. ]

You're sayin' exactly what I'm wantin' to hear. [ He smiled slyly. ] Then shall we?

[secondconflict]

We shall.

[Kerry replies with a smile. He leans in then and kiss V again. This time, there's no hesitation or worry. He can embrace the desire he feels without fear. It feels right in ways he'd need to write music to describe.]

[bodyoftheseus]

[ As the kiss lingers and V starts to actually believe that Kerry wants this and no longer has reservations the more V's willing to cut loose some of his guards and walls. There's a happiness growing in V.

V broke the kiss with some hesitation, leaning in to whisper in Kerry's ear as he took a step closer so their bodies were just about touching. ]

Let's see what this Sync's like with a little spice thrown in, yeah?

gonna ff through the actual drug use and sex?

[secondconflict]

Mm. Fuck yeah. Wanna get high as fuck then fuck you for so long neither of us can walk after.

[Kerry replies, his own voice a melodic purr even as he speaks such dirty things. Maybe it's even better sounding because he's talking about dirty things.

He pulls back from V then, giving him one last kiss on the lips before their bodies pull apart completely. He needs to focus to get the drugs out of the bag.]

i'm good writing it if you're good writing it

[bodyoftheseus]

[ V gave a low chuckle at the reply. ]

Gonna break my heart if you don't deliver on that promise.

[ His own voice is just about hoarse with desire. The stolen kiss makes him grin. He wants to be handsy, not let Kerry pull away, but he can be patient. Sometimes.

While Ker gets things set up, V stores the bibingka before he completely forgets it exists. ]

<3

[secondconflict]

[Kerry finds a place to sit and set up. He had tracked down something that was similar to enough to pot. Not as hard as some of the stuff he'd take back home, but easier for him to get to here. He had heard rumors that harder stuff existed but hadn't been able to track it down just yet.

He knows this is a bit of a risk. Drugs always are, but here, there's the added aspect of the unknown. Who knows how drugs made for the gem people who live in this world will react with their still mostly human bodies? Ker's got implants to help him survive an OD, even if it has been decades since he had to worry about reaching his limits, but who even knew how the stuff from this world would react with them.

His fingers roll out the plant with practiced ease. He only makes one, for now, intending to share as they experiment with how this new stuff feels.]

I wanna offer you the first hit, but I don't know what kind of implants you got. Anything to help with poison? We don't really know how this shit's gonna react, you know? [He asks as he holds up the joint and fishes a lighter from his vest's pocket. It's clear he's going to take that risk no matter what, and he assumes V will too, but it has to be stated anyway.]

^^<3

[bodyoftheseus]

[ It takes V almost no time at all before he's padding back to Kerry.

He didn't have much in the way when it came to aiding against the negative effects of alcohol or drugs; nothing more than what was relatively standard, anyway. Your cataresist, a biomonitor to speed up repairing whatever damage he did to himself. He'd had a few experiences with ODing and having a few medical bills that he wasn't proud of but vices were hard to kick, especially when you had no intention of actually kicking them.

The risk hardly mattered to V. He was already a dead man walking. He probably should not be so inclined to waste this second chance, but what the hell. He was with Kerry and if he died here with Kerry over something this stupid then sure, why the hell not. This wasn't the first rash decision V'd made, it wouldn't be the last. V took the joint from Kerry, holding his hand out for the lighter. ]

Got cataresist. You're gonk if you think I'll letcha test it first.

[ V was the one that was expendable of the two of them. If whatever it was just brought pain and didn't kill him then that was fine - he had pain editor. If it did kill him, well, at least it was him and not Kerry, not to mention that Kerry had the nomad to worry about too. ]

[secondconflict]

Aw, you're still my favorite bodyguard, V. [Kerry teases as he hands over the lighter. Sure, most bodyguards were invested in taking bullets for their charges but taking the first hit of a new drug worked for that too.

He doesn't actually feel that worried that either of them is at a lot of risk, despite the need to voice the possibility aloud. He wouldn't have brought it to V if he really thought otherwise.]

[bodyoftheseus]

[ The bodyguard comment simply earned a chuckle. In truth V's not really all that worried either, but if something did happen and he didn't insist on being first? Never forgive himself. And he still hadn't forgiven himself for leaving his own Kerry.

As he sank down next to Kerry he lit the joint and took a deep, practiced drag. He didn't exhale immediately, offering the joint over to Kerry as he set the lighter down. After a moment he exhaled. ]

Mm, been a while. [ He turned his head to look at Kerry, his expression already losing much of its usual intensity. ]

[secondconflict]

[Kerry enjoys watching V relax. It tugs at his heartstrings. He takes the joint when it's offered and takes his own practiced drag. As he settles into the sensation he shifts so that his arm is pressed against V, allowing them to lean against each other.

The contact means they'll experience their own highs, but also get the edge of each other's high. For a while, he's quiet as they pass the joint back and forth and try out the new sensation. The high comes upon him and feels almost exactly like smoking pot back home. That's good. He settles into that feeling as easily as he might sink into a warm bath.]

Heh. Preem.

[bodyoftheseus]

[ V honestly couldn't recall the last time he'd been given the opportunity to just relax like this. Even before the relic he'd always kept busy, always been on the move. The only time he was ever this still was when he was asleep, and that usually required a cat on his chest to discourage restless sleep.

When the high does hit V mostly feels warm, a little giddy, but mostly he feels safe. He leans over to rest his head on Kerry's shoulder, maybe snuggle up a little closer. ]

Made a good pick, as always.

[secondconflict]

Ha. [Kerry makes an amused sound at that idea. He takes a long drag on the joint before passing it over to V. He exhales slowly, letting the smoke surround him.]

Not always, kid. Had a long life, 'member? Plenty o' mistakes in that time. But... plenty real good ones too.

[bodyoftheseus]

Made good picks 'round me.

[ V knew that Kerry's life before him was important but it was something they'd never talked about to any real depth. Sure, what was with context to Johnny, but outside of that? V didn't really know much.

V took the joint from Kerry and mirrored the long drag. He starts to slowly exhale out of his nose, then out of his mouth as he speaks, offering it back. ]

They really mistakes if they got us here?

[secondconflict]

[The high that he's experiencing makes him feel warm and affectionate. He chuckles at V saying that he's only made good choices since they met. That's a laugh, considering he held Us Cracks at gunpoint for the crime of covering one of his songs. His chuckle turns into more of a soft laugh.]

Right here? You mean... on a weird alien planet?

[bodyoftheseus]

[ Be that as it may, he didn't go through with it, and he had a rather good relationship with them. At least, V's Kerry did. To the point that V even started doing jobs for the girls. Kerry's chuckle, then soft laughs, absolutely warmed V to his core.

It seemed as Kerry finished his question that they were contagious and V shook his head a little, giggling. ]

No, you gonk. [ His voice is filled with affection. ] I mean yes, but. Here. This moment.

[secondconflict]

You mean together, yeah? Here as in 'with you thinkin' about kissing you as soon as my body agrees to move?'

[bodyoftheseus]

[ V grinned and slowly shifted. ] Thinkin' 'bout a lot more'n kissin' you. [ He leaned in and kissed Kerry. ]

[secondconflict]

[Kerry presses into the kiss, responding to the action with his own hunger. Through their physical connection, they can share each other's highs and the desire that's growing between them.]

[bodyoftheseus]

[ If anything their connection makes V more hungry for Kerry. Something about the reassurance that this is what Kerry wanted made him want it that much more. Even through the high there was a bit of fire and eagerness to V as he deepened the kiss, one hand already searching for the hem of Kerry's shirt just so that he could feel him. ]
