[ M.. Maybe it's not false after all, then? Granted, maybe it's just that his head is more likely to head in certain directions while he's pressed up entirely against Gorgug and with Gorgug's arms around him, but what else could he want to do in the lake of all places?!
That is also a kind of a wild place to have sex, but.. if Gorgug wants to try it, then.. sure? ]
Alright.
[ Maybe it's a decision he'll regret later, but right now his head is definitely full of nothing but libido. If Gorgug wants to take him in the lake, then that's what they'll do. ]
It's, uh.. [ Just don't mind the way he still sounds a little flustered, his hands clinging onto Gorgug's shoulders, squeezing them a little. ] You head to the left here, and then you just keep on walking. You'll see it. [ Dude.
Dude.
Gorgug is going to screw him in the lake, dude!!!!!!! Sorry if Fabian isn't the most talkative right now - unlike the usual. He's far too busy already imagining this in his mind palace at the moment. ]
[ Head to left, keeping walking. Gorgug gives an "Okay" in acknowledgement, and as he walks--passing by people, which Fabian may or may not be paying any attention to, but he might hear it--he doesn't question the lack of words from his usually talkative partner. He's never quite done this before, holding someone around his waist and walking to a destination (okay, he never has), but it's easy enough. Fabian isn't too heavy, and with his legs locked around him, their balance works well.
He keeps his eyes over Fabian's shoulder, but sneaks looks at him; and he can't actually sneak kisses at him either unless Fabian leans his head towards him, but there's some form of affirmations he gives without prompt: ]
I missed you. [ ... ] I don't like going on missions without you. [ ... ] I don't care about what we're meant to be doing anymore.
[ His voice is low, private, but without trying to hide his words from anyone; intimate, with his gaze on Fabian whenever he speaks, his mild expression making it hard to decipher if it's distaste he's speaking with, or something deeper, more along the lines of where Fabian's mind is. The sound of other "camp" goers might come and go, and as they reach a line of trees that give way to a larger view of the lake, Fabian's ears might pick up more clear that they're not the only other people using the lake. There's at least no one else in their vincinity, but it's also not that late in the day.
It's not private.
And Gorgug comes to the edge line between land and water and surveys everything for a moment. Kicks off his shoes onto the green grass.
It's so hot. It doesn't help that Fabian is an extremely dumb teenage boy who is extremely easily turned on by something, but he still thinks this is hot. All of the things Gorgug is telling him are hot, especially when he's saying it nearly like it's a whisper. Being carried like this is hot. The fact that other people are clearly around is-- W-Well, it's kind of hot too, actually--
But Fabian doesn't even have that much time to contemplate that last one. The way Gorgug chooses for them to enter the water is so unexpected and startling that Fabian doesn't even have the reflexes to cast Feather Fall or something, so instead they slam right into the water.
Not exactly sexy. Not the kind of getting slammed Fabian was looking forward to.
The water shocks him out of his surprise a little bit. At least enough for some reflexes to kick in, releasing the hold his legs have on Gorgug's waist and trying to wriggle his way out of the other's arms enough to be able to keep himself afloat before they outright sink and drown. That would be the most embarrassing way to go out. What would they ever tell Riz?!
Fabian's head is at least above the water now, even as he's paddling like a madman to keep himself afloat, still looking thoroughly flustered. Because of how turned on he was? Because of the surprise? Who knows! ]
[ They sink, and Gorgug should have thought about telling Fabian to hold his breath like he already has, but the thought never enters his mind--the water engulfs them, their combined weight lets them sink, and Gorgug doesn't restrict Fabian as he unravels from around him, letting go of him to move freely. His eyes open just to see what Fabian's doing, and he sees him rising, so--
well, he can come up too. Splashing, ungraceful, because even when he was the only one who knew what he was going to do, it doesn't mean he's a great swimmer or anything!
But if it's there's something to be noticed, perhaps, is the smile that Gorgug comes up with, wiping the water off his face and letting his arms keep him bobbing. ]
Wasn't it fun? [ It's not a worried question--it's as happy as he looks, and he kicks his legs to get closer to Fabian, to take one of his hands above water. Eyes on Fabian's one, focused. ]
[ Apparently even Fabian can't finish that sentence, despite his horny feelings from a moment ago. Maybe it's because he's being rather loud right now - as Fabian ever is - and he's kind of realizing that half of the people out on the lake would be able to hear him yell about having sex with his boyfriend.
Embarrassing. That's what that thought is. That's what everything right now is. Just straight up embarrassing.
Rather than smiling over at Gorgug, Fabian is just.. slowly lowering himself into the water until only his eye and eyepatch is left right above the waterline.. Blowing some bubbles in embarrassment... ]
[ Dude? Didn't you think he sounded so shounen moment cool there?? Dude???
Gorgug was feeling his empowered moment, thank you very much, but then he's watching his boyfriend sink and, hm, that's something? He waits for a few seconds, then gives his arm a shake by the hand he's holding. Just-- a wobble wobble.
There's no sinking into the depths, so he's not worried about that, but also... ]
...We're still going to kiss. [ ... wobble wobble. ] I still want us to make out?
[ Did Fabian think he forgot? Did Fabian hit the water too hard....?? ]
[ Fabian doesn't even think the bot idea is that bad. As much as he carries a grudge against the companion bots in this place, it's not like he really minds the bots Gorgug makes. They're not his favorite thing or anything, but he doesn't dislike them either. They just.. exist. They're just Gorgug's hobby!
Though there is one thing about it that sure stands out in this moment. Once more. ]
Does it have to be an animal? [ No, wait-- ] Does it have to be a bird?
[ Maybe Fabian did hit the water too hard.. Maybe it knocked that last braincell finally out of him.. :(
Though Fabian actually is thinking here. Gorgug told him before that he should just.. use his words to talk about what he feels, even though it still doesn't always feel all that great for Fabian...
But he's trying. He's pathetically sunk into the water, but he's trying.
And that involves getting his head up a little bit from the water again, so he isn't talking right into the water to a point where Gorgug wouldn't be able to understand. ]
I thought we were going to have sex. [ See, he feels so pathetic saying that!!! But he's saying it anyway!! This is just for you, Gorgug. He's doing his best. ] You were being very sexy.
[ He lowers his hand from Fabian's cheek, moving it to wrap around the back of his neck. Just to continue to have that skin-to-skin contact, something nice. For him, anyway. ]
It wasn't easy for you. [ Fabian's saying that, but... ] You weren't happy.
[ A beat. ] Was it easy being sad?
[ He may be vague on the specifics by now, but as Gorgug recalls the way he found Fabian, he saw him in the worst state he ever has. Defeated, lost, exhausted from being so frustrated with Etraya, and even the people in it. Feeling hopeless. It hadn't been easy to get out of Fabian, even though he had, eventually.
Gorgug doesn't ask the question to make Fabian reflect, but out of uncertainty himself. He doesn't believe it--and maybe Gorgug can't really remove Fabian's feelings from the equation. Even if Fabian might be. ]
It can just be like a gun that's a net? Like the grappling one we made to catch the Night Yorb? [ They can say it now! It's sealed on the top of his van! ] We can attach it to the back and just-- [ shoo! ] Fire it, and reel it back in!
[ ... ]
I think that's what they do on fishing boats, actually.
That doesn't take a lot for his brain to understand, but he still needs to process it--or get the wrench unstuck in the gear that is his brain. Fabian thought they were going to have sex. Fabian thought he was being sexy.
Gorgug doesn't need to be told twice--e-even if it would be nice, probably...! ]
We can find a place to have sex. [ They're the only two immediately around, so, Gorgug doesn't mind saying that. ] I don't have anything on me, though.
[ Still--they can do other things, right? Just as long as that's okay for Fabian. Is it? Is he still in the mood?
Because even admitting his expectations is enough for Gorgug to be into the idea. ]
