[ 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?
Huh? T-that's not true though. I mean it is for Yusuke, but Eren and I have only been a couple since late September. I was pretty sure you and Goro have been together longer.
So...you might have more experience than I do. With...that stuff, anyway.
IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND HE'S STILL HYPERVENTILATING ON THE INSIDE AND HE FEELS LIGHTHEADED LIKE HE'LL FAINT ANY SECOND FROM EMBARRASSMENt because he really fucked that up somehow.
He really did.
100% fucked that up, but Goro deserved it. God. When he talked to Yosuke (over text), he said he would never have this conversation. In Person. Here he is. Regretting his choices. ]
In the background, Yusuke is taking a cooling and refreshing drink of water as his friend speaks — a cooling and refreshing drink he immediately begins to choke on when Akira reveals the fabled get he and Goro finally got over their fears and did the sexes.
[ HELLO? The last thing he needs is for both of you to... Do this. He can feel the stares, then there's Elliot's audible questioning. He isn't sure if he's sweating bullets or he's going pale and cold. ]
[ Luckily, Elliot starts talking again and distracts him. This was not the way anyone expected this chat to go, probably. ]
Not that I would have considered it otherwise, but that is earlier than I would have expected. But at the same time, it’s not as though you and Eren were strangers. I imagine you were comfortable with him.
[ It sure as heck is not. But whatever, if bashful Akira needs time to calm himself, he'll give it and answer Yusuke's question. ]
It was over two months! That's not that early, I-I think? [Ok he isn't sure but WHATEVER] I-It wasn't planned, it just sorta happened and we didn't have a reason to say no. And of course I'm comfortable with him.
[But now, it turns back to Yusuke]
Though uh, now that we've answered....what about you Yusuke? Did, um, anything happen that night with Sanji?
[ This is how the true bonds of brotherhood and found family start. With discussions of a personal nature. When they start comparing boyfriend dick sizes it’ll be akin to forming a blood oath. Probably. ]
If you want to ask whether or not we had sex, Elliot, I think at this point it would be less embarrassing simply to come out and say it directly.
[ After learning that Goro has been buying xenodick merchandise there can’t be much else that can phase them. ]
But yes. I suppose being coy isn’t a right now - “something” happened, to borrow your terminology.
We just devoted a large portion of our evening to discussing sex toys based off of mythical creatures. I fear nothing is taboo now. And I suppose? I do not hold much reverence to the act of sex, nor really see why people are so... worried about when they do or don’t have it. I am comfortable with Sanji, so... it was fine.

Out of line. ]
So how did it go with Sanji on Saturday, Yusuke?
[ NEW TARGET ]

[ Sorry. ]
no subject
...Why did Yusuke get a mild question while I got that?
[CALLING YOU PEOPLE OUT]
no subject
I'm not sure. Luck of the proverbial draw?
[ HE DID NOTHING WRONG....! ]
no subject
[ It seems like a reasonable answer! It also takes the heat off of him and Yusuke.
Mostly him. ]
no subject
So...you might have more experience than I do. With...that stuff, anyway.
[Attempt backfired. Enjoy that burning heat]
no subject
[ YOU THINK HE DIDN'T HAVE A BACKUP PLAN ]
Though the question is if knowing someone long before dating them would accelerate the other parts of dating?
no subject
[...]
Uh, well, good question. When was you and Goro's, um, first time?

Same night Yusuke went to Sanji's.

Give him a moment here. ]

And he wasn't expecting it to be on the same night as-]
Whaaaaaat??
T-The same night?!

Yeah. What's... Wrong?
[ STOP. ]
no subject
It’s a little odd to consider.
[ Did you or did you not thoroughly break in the tree house, Akira. Lewd. ]
And a very remarkable coincidence.
no subject
[ Don’t mind that he’s going to plant his face into this cushion to hide all his shame. Goodbye.
Just kill him. ]
no subject
[Not judging, just surprised! Though since Akira gave his date]
I-It was early December for us.

He has learned more things about Elliot and Yusuke than he cared to know, but that doesn’t stop him from listening in. ]

A-aw c'mon! I don't even swear, it's not easy to say that stuff!
[RIP the last bits of Yusuke's innocence. Destroyed by a xenodick.
But oh. wow. He actually answered. And it's a yes. He wanted this information, but now he doesn't know what to do with it. ]
O-Oh, wow... so you moved the fastest of us, from the sound of it.
no subject
How far did you guys go? On your first time...
[ FOR BOTH OF THEM.
Asking for a friend who is scared of butt stuff, literally. ]
no subject
[ He just sounds content, really. D’aw.
Until Akira happens. ]
... As far as I was comfortable?
no subject
Eheh...good point. [rip taboo] That's a very "you" answer. But you're right. As long as you were comfortable with it, that's the important part.
[And then Akira happens. Oh. Wow. Guess he got over the bashful stage]
Um... [he rubs his neck] A-All the way? Is that what you mean?
