[He can't say it, but Kinjou at least understands what he meant to say, which is exactly a topic that he himself had wanted to bring up but didn't think he could. What happens if they end up in that sort of situation again? What happens if Arakita needs to relieve himself because of some bizarre festival or an unfortunate effect of aphrodisiacs or just, something, anything going wrong here like it seems is so common?
...well, Arakita has started them off on that subject. He'd might as well take the reigns to finish it off from his side. Kinjou's face feels slightly warm, and though he doesn't feel as embarrassed as he normally would if he wasn't used to certain things in Amoi, there's still definitely an effect on him just by thinking about this.
Thinking about... doing sexual things, with Arakita. Again.]
I wouldn't mind doing such things with you again, Arakita. If it's necessary at any point.
[He'd rather not let him get hurt by doing things with someone that could harm him, or making decisions he might regret. Sort of the lesser of all the evils here, honestly, but even though they're from separate teams Kinjou already feels like he has a responsibility to make sure Arakita manages well.
Not to mention he..... doesn't really regret what happened either.]
[Nope, a quick glance in the bathroom mirror tells him he's red as hell and it's for stupid reasons. He's embarrassed about bringing it up, like they haven't already fooled around once - but what he's actually embarassed about is that it's with someone he knows. Not well enough to make it awkward as fuck like Toudou, but he knows him. Somehow, fooling around with complete strangers is less embarrassing and less stressful -
but there will come times where he needs to trust someone about this shit. That's something a stranger can't give him, and Arakita is reluctant to hand over the reigns just like that, but Kinjou is a good captain. He could come to eventually trust him the way he trusts Toudou and Fukutomi. Because like fuck is he going to bring hormones to Toudou.]
That goes for you too, or whatever. If you need to deal with shit and you can't get a hold of Makishima. [Ah yes, making arrangements of 'you can booty call me' is something he was sure he'd never ever do in his life.]
[It's not exactly hard to tell that Arakita is having a difficult time absorbing this arrangement, and Kinjou is once again feeling terrible for putting him in such an awkward spot. Again, he know she's not responsible for any of this, but he's used to shouldering the blame. Arakita shouldn't have to be forced into sexual acts with people because he has to or needs to find a reliable source to find release. That's a thing that happens naturally with someone you care about, someone you trust.
Even though that's... just about how Kinjou is beginning to feel, for him. His own face is growing red, enough that he feels like his glasses could fog up at any moment, and just as he reaches up to try to remove him Arakita keeps talking and--
[He'd been about to deny it out of pure reflex until Kinjou stops himself, then tries to bend down to pick up his glasses only for a sharp pain to shoot up his left leg from his knee. Kinjou hisses faintly then forces himself down the rest of the way, snatches up his glasses and then stands, trying to make it to the nearest seat. He ends up on the couch of his living room. The glasses are set on the table, and he leans back.
His hand brushes over his face. It feels terribly hot.]
Did someone tell you?
[Because he sure didn't. Unless Toudou or Makishima did, but why would they even?]
Thank you... for your offer, though. It's. Appreciated. [He is so flustered right now he doesn't know why he just is.]
[Pausing in his awkward talking when he hears that hiss, Arakita waits the few moments as he stands hesitantly with his hand on his doorknob like he could go see just what the hell caused that noise in a heartbeat. Coughing sharply, realizing just what happened now and letting out a laugh, Arakita covers his face for a minute.]
Oh, fuck, I was just kind of going on the assumption since you'd help your friends out and - shit, did I step on a landmine? I literally don't know jack all about your team other than what Toudou rambles about. Maki-chan this, Maki-chan that...
[He can't help the laugh still in his tone - it's not a laughing at sort of noise, it's a laughing with out of nerves.]
[The tone is really not helping, and Kinjou rubs his hand over his face, wishing he could stand so he could get himself a glass of water but he'd rather just. Stay there for the time being.]
No, it's fine, I just wasn't expecting to speak to you about. That. [He barely managed to tell Toudou about it and honestly he hadn't even given him any details. Kinjou hadn't technically even told him, since Toudou had stopped the conversation they'd had upon meeting from getting very far.]
But yes, Makishima and I have been intimate. For the reason you have expressed. [Makishima essentially promised his virginity to him, and Kinjou the same. But Arakita probably doesn't need to know that sort of detail.]
It was literally just an assumption, promise. It's a good reason, I mean, who wants their friends to have to go screw strangers when they can just take one for the team, in a way. [His laughter toned down at least as he spoke, scratching below his nose as he thinks about it for a half minute.]
Really good reason ... Fuck, I'm going to have to talk to Toudou about that sort of thing too, huh. He's got "standards" but at least a familiar face would be .. best. Right? Not in Arakita's case, but normal people preferred someone they knew well.]
[...this might not be a good time to mention that he's slept with other people already. Yeah, not going to mention that (for the time being). Kinjou's surprised at how understanding Arakita is being. Though there's a bit of a jitteriness to his voice. He's definitely not used to the thought, and it sure sounds like he might have some trouble embracing the possibility of sleeping with Toudou if it ever comes to that.
He's not sure if he can blame him or not.]
That's a decision that you'll have to make on your own. I don't know Toudou as well as you do, obviously, but I think it would at least be a good idea to let him know that if a sexual situation ever arises that you'll both be able to make a decision without worrying too much over the repercussions. [Like how he's currently not quite sure what having sex with Makishima means for their friendship/relationship. Kinjou's not very knowledgeable of the term "fuck-buddy".]
It isn't solely about familiarity. Sex is a very personal matter and can make you feel vulnerable. There is no reason to feel that way with someone you trust.
[To be fair, Arakita's already been manhandled by a figurative "stranger" by now too, so he wouldn't really judge anything about what Kinjou's done.]
Right, yeah. Set ground rules or shit, like no kissing or. Whatever would irritate him later. [Friends with benefits isn't a strange thought to him, it's just Toudou. Grumbling a little under his breath without actually saying anything, Arakita knows it's just something to talk about, like Kinjou said. Ughhh..]
I don't know, sex with people I don't know sounds easier honestly. I don't have to think about fucking up a relationship if there isn't one in the first place, you know?
[That is his honest opinion, regardless of whether Arakita is talking solely about Toudou. Now the rest, while he completely understands, doesn't quite sit well with him.]
Your explanation makes sense, but isn't it a bit sad to sleep with people you have no connection to? It makes the act feel empty... that's just my own opinion though. [No shit, Kinjou.]
I would feel more comfortable at least knowing someone so they don't feel as if I am only using them just to... get off? [Is that how they say it?] Usually that sort of act is reserved for masturbation.
Kissing's probably nice, but I don't want to kiss cause that's supposed to be for feelings and shit. If I'm screwing around without developing feelings for them, it's better that way so no ones actually getting hurt, right?
[Whether Kinjou agrees or disagrees isn't really Arakita's concern, but explaining it feels necessary; and whether it's about Toudou or not still applies. As far as he's thinking, it is just mutual masturbation - why get feelings if someone else is using him just for that too?]
Shit getting tangled like that just doesn't appeal to me. I don't want relationships with it if I'm going to end up stuck fooling around and making booty calls. Cause deciding to not partake in any of it just won't work sometimes, like with the maze. We didn't want to fuck around, but we had to because it was impossible to just go anywhere like that.
[This is a very eye-opening conversation to Kinjou, and not just because this is a completely different outlook on sex than he has, but it also is a different take on Arakita. Maybe it really is a bit better to make those sorts of connections with people without getting too close. It's to avoid getting hurt, right? In case things become too personal.
If that's the way Arakita wishes to do things then far be it from Kinjou to tell him he has to change his way of thinking. It's not like he's the be all/end all on how sex needs to be done. He only knows about as much as he's done which has... only been a little over a month's worth of experience.
Does Arakita know more than him? He doesn't know. But he has his own opinion, and if that's how he'd rather do things, then he'll let him.]
[It makes sense to Arakita is how he'd argue it. Why burn the energy getting emotional about sex if more than half of his 'partners' are going to be just looking to get off too? Still, the question throws him off-guard before he grins a bit on his end of the line, almost wanting to chuckle - aren't they the same age, how could he have never heard that term before?]
What, seriously? Basically just calling someone to go fuck.
[Because he's a sheltered delicate nerd that sews snake patches onto his jersey.]
Ah. [He had no idea there was a term for that. It's kind of crude, but then... it's for sex. So it figures that that'd be used to get the point across clearly.]
Then if that is what you intend to do, at least be careful with who you call. [Don't make bad decisions, don't get hurt and all that. But it does make him think of something.]
If you must make one, I don't mind receiving it from you. A booty call.
[The perk to being from the #thugglyfe for nearly a year before he got his shit together. He was going to make the simple yeah yeah, I'll be fine, but then Kinjou offers to be called sometime and Arakita feels his face heat up all over again.]
A-Aa? Alright, I'll. Keep that in mind. [Fuck, he stuttered again didn't he. You didn't hear anything, Kinjou.]
