[ He's so glad that Elliot is with him in this group, only because he did wonder if maybe he went too fast with it when he spoke to Yosuke.
Anyway, speaking of Yosuke. ]
I'm asking since my friend hasn't, but they've done everything except anal. They've been with their significant other for a year, I think? But they're a little scared to go further, like they can't go back.
[ Likewise, he feels relief when Akira answers. He doesn't regret doing what he did with Eren, but oh boy is it reassuring to know someone else did the same.
But he'll listen, thinking. Huh...]
Can't go back to what exactly...?
[Is it a commitment thing? Something else?]
W-Well, there's no rule saying they have to have it. Is it bothering them that they haven't?
It’s not as though it’s a final boss... and if they’ve been together and have had sex in every other way, I’m not sure how moving on to penetrative sex would be the game changer in their relationship. The intimacy and contact would still be there...
[ What an odd fear to have. But fears are irrational, so it must make sense to Akira’s friend... ]
I’m fairly sure there must be people out there who avoid that sort of sex out of reasons related to preference and enjoyment.
I mean it is already quite a big thing to engage in sexual intimacy of the non-penetrative kind, in terms of considering your own emotional maturity and connection to your partner. Surely once you've made that first step it's a little easier?
[ Akira did hold his breath since Yusuke didn't start with a no... His anxiety was rising because he didn't want to hear anything other than a no. Christ.
Except now Elliot is bringing out how he's attractive, so he just sinks into his part of the sleepover blanket and pillow bundle, burying his face back into the cushion. Kill him. It's an unnecessary compliment. ]
[ Yeah calm down Akira. He's not about to leave Eren for you, he just can't help that dark hair protags are his usual type.
Elliot manages to bite back mostly on the incredulous laugh he wants to make at the idea of all of them being attractive. Yusuke and Akira? Sure, they were attractive. Him? No. Nuh uh. But saying so would lead to more embarrassing conversation, so there's just a look of doubt of face--
That is hardly anything to get worked up about. Every one says Haru and I are as good as a married couple, but we are neither romantically involved or actually married.
[he looks over at Akira. If this were an anime, there'd be a sweat drop appearing behind his head. But at least this was just a joke, right? It's fine...]
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?

[ That's the only way Akira can relate to it, but even then he wasn't so nervous about it where he frets. ]
It's bothering them enough that they think about it.

[ Elliot in the middle. ]
no subject
He's going to regret asking but...]
B-But if you two weren't with Goro and Sanji, then.......?
no subject
but now. Elliot. Elliot had to ask... Why?
Why, Elliot?
For what purpose did you need to do this? Akira just stares at him like he has no idea how to answer this. ]
no subject
To make it fair, if you were not with Eren, what would your thoughts on this be?
[ WOULD YOU BANG Y/N?? ]
no subject
[ THE TABLES HAVE TURNED. ]
no subject
[But yeah that's not gonna fly. So he sighs and scratches his jaw]
Well...Akira's attractive, that's for sure. He reminds me of someone else I had a thing for...
B-But I'm not into hook-ups, and I can't see us actually dating so...p-probably not?
no subject

no subject
I would say we are all attractive in our own ways. It’s good to remember this.
...
Besides we act more like a long-term married trio than anything. [ At least one of them can admit it. ]

-- A-A long term what?!

[ Akira questions as he's literally here, hugging a cushion...
Wearing Yusuke's sweater. ]
