It's not about permission. It's about communication. Bad Dragon's not...cheap. So you should talk to your partner about what they're open to before you waste that kinda money.
[It's not a strange concept??? Communication is good??
[ Elliot, if you think you're safe, you're wrong. Akira just needs an answer for this question first. He has Vengeance to take because someone decided to hide their wounds from him. ]
It's not us, so pick one or the other.
[ A LIE, BUT. He's back to his normal, even sheepish, look... All a facade. ]
[ Even now, Akira wouldn't buy bad dragon since it is very pricey. He will stick to some normal stuff from Amazon for the sake of his wallet, thanks. ]
W-Well, yeah. It is something you can find on google...
[He has no idea how many actually bought the stuff. For all he knows, it was just teenagers talking about that stuff to come off as cool or adult or whatever.
Akira that's...what's such a sweet answer]
A couple do that, sure? But...a lot weren't really socially skilled enough to ask people out. O-Or in cases like mine, they weren't out to their families. That makes dating pretty difficult if you live with them.
R-Really though I don't know if anyone actually bought the stuff. Just talked about it.
It would require a rather specific search though...
[ Elliot, you dark horse you. ]
I... suppose there are always reasons why people hesitate. It is a shame though that these are things that must be considered when it comes to relationships between the same gender.
[ His... mother just doesn't care. Maybe "doesn't care" isn't the right phrasing, but if Yusuke is happy and with someone who cares for him, she's happy. ]
[ Oh, no... While Akira never had to deal with his parents caring about his sexuality (they are okay of his love for both men and women), he does feel for those that feel that they can’t be truly themselves. It may not define them as a whole, but it is a part of them. ]
The world is slowly changing for the better.
[ Look at them!!! Three boyfriends! Though Akira would date Goro even if he was a girl. No big deal. He wants to direct the conversation again, but asking Elliot if he owns toys of his own is
[he smiles and nods at Akira's statement. With his own aunt and uncle, it was..complicated. They've never said anything overtly homophobic, but Elliot already struggled with living up to their expectations. Telling them that he was gay just felt like one more way he'd come up short to them. It was easier not to say anything.
Buuut that's a topic that'd really bring them all down if he went into it, so he'll gladly jump on the topic change]
[ Oh. This is where they are now. They have arrived at this point, where Yusuke is the target.
Uh oh. ]
Fine? I'm not sure what there is to tell.
[ That isn't personal and intimate and not necessarily up for sharing at this point without some gentle wheedling and coaxing... He looks directly at Akira: ]
I got to show it to Goro on the same day. He really liked it and we stargazed through the moon roof—cutting some of the tree branches to get a better view was a good idea.
[ A moonlit night was pretty nice! And there’s no crack in his composure, either. There is no reason to indicate he stayed the night and got back home before Elliot woke up and Yusuke returned.
No problem. ]
How are things with Eren, Elliot? Did he get any Bad Dragon packages, too?
no subject
[ No, he probably won't. They're just going to somehow appear on Goro's wrists out of nowhere because Akira is the way he is.
He squints at Yusuke for both things... ]
Do you know something, Yusuke?
[ That Pause gave it away. ]
no subject
Hm. ]
Well... with all the backlogged mail coming through, I may have ... come across some things that Akechi ordered.
[ .... As in "fell from the sky and imploded sex toys from the box at him" come across. ]
no subject
[ WHY ARE YOU SO DEVASTATED. Akira is smiling like normal, if not very curious. ]
no subject
[ Maybe he's traumatised, Akira?? Give him a moment? ]
... Have you heard of a website named "bad dragon"? I had not. But now I am... aware.
no subject
[his eyes widen. Yes. Yes he has heard of this company through the wonders of internet forums]
Ohhh boy.
no subject
[ And Akira falls silent because he's scheming... Y'all probably know this look already—it isn't at all mad or angered, but instead devious.
Prepare Goro's gravestone. ]
no subject
I was probably not supposed to tell you that.
For my sake at least, go easy on him. He will know I let it slip and I do not wish to suffer.
no subject
H-Huh?
[...]
Wait, are you saying he ordered from that site without Akira knowing...?
[Why would you do that????]
I'm gonna regret this, but did you...see? What he ordered?
no subject
[ Curiosity is the word of the month, Elliot. It killed the pancake lover. ]
The box dropped in front of me and a number of things... flew out. So yes. [ And that's all you're getting. ]
no subject
What's worse: having those toys used on you or walking into someone else using them on your bed.
[ By the way, he also agrees that Goro doesn't need his permission to buy toys. ]
no subject
It's not about permission. It's about communication. Bad Dragon's not...cheap. So you should talk to your partner about what they're open to before you waste that kinda money.
[It's not a strange concept??? Communication is good??
He looks over at Akira.]
- Whaaaat?
no subject
[ Did you want to share with the class?
...
UM. ]
That's an odd question. In the case of the two of you, perhaps sharing the experience is the better option...?
no subject
[ Elliot, if you think you're safe, you're wrong. Akira just needs an answer for this question first. He has Vengeance to take because someone decided to hide their wounds from him. ]
It's not us, so pick one or the other.
[ A LIE, BUT. He's back to his normal, even sheepish, look... All a facade. ]
no subject
[ Gay teenage band members be thirsty. He squirms a little, unsure about answering this question]
Um....the latter...?
no subject
[ Hmm. Yusuke is not answering this question. He has done his time. ]
no subject
[ A music forum is a strange place to see a discussion about xeno-themed dildos?
OR IS THAT JUST HIM? ]
no subject
Well, you know, stuff like this comes up.
no subject
[ This is literally all he needs to say. Probably. ]
no subject
[ Even now, Akira wouldn't buy bad dragon since it is very pricey. He will stick to some normal stuff from Amazon for the sake of his wallet, thanks. ]
Wouldn't it be easier to date each other?
no subject
[He has no idea how many actually bought the stuff. For all he knows, it was just teenagers talking about that stuff to come off as cool or adult or whatever.
Akira that's...what's such a sweet answer]

[ Look at them!!! Three boyfriends! Though Akira would date Goro even if he was a girl. No big deal. He wants to direct the conversation again, but asking Elliot if he owns toys of his own is
Out of line. ]
So how did it go with Sanji on Saturday, Yusuke?
[ NEW TARGET ]

How did finishing up the treehouse go?
[ It's like a tennis volley. ]
no subject

[ Sorry. ]
