When: April

Warning(s): None yet, but NSFW will be marked if it happens



I. Bird is the Word

[To all those familiar with Chuuya, the news of the mystery egg he’d magically acquired finally hatching isn’t surprising, nor is the news that it’s a bird. However, what they may not know is that Apollo (a name carefully chosen for his precious child) has grown into something quite flashy in the past month. A royal flycatcher, to be precise, with beautiful plumage to rival any peacock. It’s quite fitting that Apollo is tiny and beautiful, considering who his mother is, but don’t tell Chuuya that.

He’s quite an energetic little thing, and Chuuya can be found out and about in town with the little guy perched on top of his hat, or in the mansion with Apollo perched on his shoulder.

Should anyone get close (within five feet) of Chuuya, they’ll find themselves with a faceful of feathers and an earful of chirps as Apollo checks them out, up close and personal. Of course Chuuya is amused.]

Looks like he likes you.

II. Shots, Shots, Shots

[Chuuya can also be found, sans Apollo, in one of the multitude of bars located around town. He’s currently nursing a glass of fireball whiskey, but anyone who approaches him for either company or simply to harass him will be abruptly challenged to a drinking contest. God bless your soul if you take him up on it.

Should they decline he’ll simply shrug and continue sipping at the amber liquid in his glass.

Either way, they’ll receive this greeting: ]

You here for booze or company?

III. Among the Stars

[Lastly, Chuuya will make a trip to Thesa Station to see all the newly awakened refugees. He can be found checking out the stasis pods, hanging around in one of the lounge areas, or simply indulging in a glass of wine at the mess hall.

He’ll have Apollo on his shoulder, but don’t be afraid. He won’t peck your eyes out. Chuuya may very well try it though, if you see fit to call him tiny. Otherwise he’ll be friendly enough, no matter where he’s approached on the station.]

How’s it going?

IV. Wildcard!

[Surprise me! Or plot things with me! I’m over at arcanestardust!]

Comments

[gekkajuu]

[Not arguing is a start. Maybe it's not much, but it's a tentative positive for Atsushi. The only downside is it feels a little unfinished, the unstarted argument still hanging in the air.

But they can have a serious talk some other time. This probably isn't the time for philosophizing.

... It seems to be the time for staring at arms, though...]

Did she? [So that's why..? Chuuya doesn't seem the type to care about animals - but then, he's always cared about Daifuku a great deal, so believing that is probably unfair. Atsushi transforms one arm and holds it out, even as he asks:] Did you... want to feel it?

[It's a little weird, maybe - but Atsushi doesn't mind.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[To be fair, Chuuya will have plenty of chances to prove whether or not Atsushi’s assessment is true in the future, but for now he’ll gladly focus on anything else. Arguing philosophy has never been Chuuya’s strong suit, after all.

He never was the type to care much about animals back home; too much important shit to do to take time out of his schedule to really give a shit about them. But come on, Atsushi, you’d have to be completely heartless not to like Daifuku!!

Maybe asking Atsushi to transform is a little weird, but from all the stories he’s heard, and from what he saw while they were capturing bandits, the weretiger’s limbs are incredibly powerful, so why not take a look? That’s totally the only reason he asked...]

Why not?

[Chuuya removes one of his gloves before sliding his fingers over the striped fur. It’s not housecat soft, but it’s not super rough either, and the fur is a bit smoother than he’d anticipated. It’s nice.]

How fast do you regenerate? Akutagawa seemed pretty fucking mad about it before.

[gekkajuu]

[It's always a little special when Chuuya's gloves come off, and feeling his hand even through the fur is... kind of nice.

That, or Atsushi is a teensy bit tipsy, after all. But only a little!

He's actually a little proud (or is it just petty smugness?) that Akutagawa would complain about him like that.]

Sometimes it's very fast, but sometimes it's not much faster than anyone else... It depends on how much strength I can borrow from the tiger at the time.

[Which basically also means that super fast regeneration only happens when he's conscious, oops.]

I can't really control that part.

[Or he's still too afraid to accidentally tap into the tiger too much and lose control again. Could be that.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[If only Atsushi knew the number of times Chuuya overheard Akutagawa ranting about him and how he’s going to destroy him...]

Huh.

[That’s a curious “huh” because there’s like a bajillion questions Chuuya wants to ask Atsushi about his ability, but he’s sure that’s what everybody and their mom does when they find out the guy is a weretiger. He must be sick of hearing it by now.

Chuuya lets his hand wander down Atsushi’s arm to trace over the sharp claws at his fingertips.]

How much do you know about the Port Mafia members’ abilities?

[Besides Akutagawa. He’s sure Atsushi could write a novel on Rashomon by now.]

[gekkajuu]

[Akutagawa probably figured that since Chuuya did the same about Dazai, he could let it all out. Not that it isn't still a little ominous, with how Atsushi and Akutagawa had set an actual date for their showdown.

Of course, that date has long since passed, already. It's one of the few things that make Atsushi feel just how far removed he is from his old life.]

Just what the Armed Detective Agency knows? Most of the basics, I think.

[Still not a whole lot. Dazai had brought a very amount of intel with him, of course, but then most of his most valuable intel was several years old; later things were second-hand at best.

Meanwhile Atsushi keeps his arm very still, so Chuuya can feel up his claws without danger.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Maybe Chuuya will visit the pods on his birthday to pour one out for the boss and Akutagawa. It’s the least he can do, really, since he’s the one roaming free while they’re stuck in stasis. He should probably let go of the past, but Chuuya has kind of a terrible track record there...]

That bastard probably spilled most of the intel about us, no doubt.

[Chuuya wonders if it would ever be a good time to bring up Corruption. It’s his last resort, after all, a trump card he’d rather not be forced into using anytime soon, so it’s really not necesssary to tell Atsushi about it if he doesn’t already know.

...right?

Chuuya glances down at those powerful claws; Atsushi could (try) ripping him to shreds if he wanted, and yet Chuuua doubts they’ve ever been used to take a life without Atsushi being forced into a corner.

He really is a good guy in Chuuya’s book.

He gives that arm one last stroke before pulling back with a huff.]

Can you grow a tail too?

[He’s joking. He has no idea that Atsushi can actually do that.]

[gekkajuu]

If one of us had defected to you, you would have expected the same, right?

[It's not easy to clear a track record of being the enemy - but it's not impossible to buy your acceptance with intel. Somehow, Atsushi doesn't think that Dazai told the president and everyone everything, but the important things would have come up for sure. The ADA is so much smaller than the mefia, they need all the intel they can get just to survive.]

I can? That is: I did, once...

[Was that a serious question? It sounds a little like mocking him, but Atsushi gives a straight answer - and he proves it right away, turning around with a sudden case of tail poking out of the waistband of his pants.

... It feels a little weird, really. Maybe that's why he's never done it again, after that one time on the ship. It wasn't much of a conscious thought, then.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Don’t make a good point, Atsushi!! Let him call Dazai a bastard and grump!!

There’s no serious mockery going on here, but Chuuya is a bit surprised to hear that Atsushi can actually sprout one. It can’t be that useful in a fight, right?]

Really?

[Oh...OH!! Atsushi just sprouted a tail!!! Holy fucking shit!! Chuuya stares at it, blinking on surprise. Well. He just got proven the fuck wrong!!]

Nice.

[Chuuya doesn’t even think twice about reaching out his bare hand to slide along the length of Atsushi’s tail (just ignore that it’s probably weird to feel up someone’s tail! They’ve banged before, it’s fine!).]

I like it.

[He has a bit of a history already with petting ears and tails since he’s arrived on Nysa. Now that he knows Atsushi can grow a tail...]

What about ears?

[gekkajuu]

[Everything can be useful in a fight. Atsushi may not have had a lot of formal fighting training (though he's stepped that up, on and off, since coming here), but he knows how to make the most of what you've got, if nothing else.

Oh... Oh. It feels kind of weird, having his tail touched. It's not bad at all, but something about it is a little... much? Maybe that's not so strange, since it's a whole area of his body that now has sensation when he usually... doesn't even have the body part to feel anything with. It makes an itchy feeling almost like goosebumps climb up his spine.]

Ears...? Oh - you mean tiger ears? [No, rabbit ears, of course!] I've never tried those... It might be harder, since they'd replace my original ears.

[The tiger limbs don't grow in addition to his normal limbs either, after all. What a monstrosity that would make!]

Let's try it.

[There's no real reason to close his eyes beyond concentration, calling out to the tiger in silence, much more specifically than usual. But sure enough, when he opens his eyes again a moment later, there are tiger ears on top of his head, his own ears miraculously disappeared into his choppy hairline.

Not that Atsushi himself can see, of course.]

... Did it work?

[thetaintedsorrow]

[If only he knew that Akutagawa got his shit wrecked in part because of this tail.

Chuuya keeps stroking Atsushi’s tail, because you bet your ass he’s gonna pet it until it disappears. Maybe he didn’t care much about petting animals back home, but this is different!! Who knows when or if Atsushi might sprout the thing again, so he has to take advantage of this rare opportunity!! Not that Atsushi would refuse if Chuuya asked him to do it again, but shh.

Oh. OH. He did it!! Atsushi just grew tiger ears!! Chuuya blinks and they’re there, and he doesn’t notice that Atsushi’s own ears are gone just yet.

Okay, he doesn’t usually throw this word around all willy-nilly, but...

Cute.]

It worked.

[There’s a tiny bit of awe in Chuuya’s voice as he automatically reaches up to stroke Atsushi’s new tiger ears. Oh boy, they’re so round and cute...this should be illegal.]

Nice.

[gekkajuu]

[There's something strange about Chuuya's expression, still, and Atsushi can't place it. It was the same with his tail (which Atsushi keeps, of course, as long as Chuuya is busy with it), but somehow less so then - or it had been easy enough to attribute it to alcohol and little else, at the time. Now that it keeps going, it's not so easy to dismiss anymore. Chuuya's attention is flattering, but it also makes Atsushi feel... a little exposed?

Not that he has much time to figure out what Chuuya's behavior means, exactly, because Chuuya touches his ears, and Atsushi can't help the way they twitch.]

Hehe... That tickles.

[Yet he's not complaining.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya has never been a subtle person, but hey, if Atsushi wants to blame the very light flush on Chuuya’s cheeks on the booze, who is he to correct him?.]

Does it?

[They even twitch like real tiger ears...hnnnghh....

Chuuya breaks the pattern of cute and sweet by sliding one hand all the way up the length of Atsushi’s tail and gently rubbing at the base with a playful little smirk. Maybe he’s way off base here, but...]

Does it feel good?

[His over hand massages the tip of one of Atsushi’s ears, curious yet obviously looking for a specific sort of reaction. Maybe the tiger parts are exactly erogenous zones, but they’ve gotta be at least a little sensitive, right?]

[gekkajuu]

[They are indeed, as it turns out - not that Atsushi ever realized this before. But then, his tiger parts have only ever been useful in a fight, and mostly as a shield - not exactly something you'd associate with a pleasant kind of sensitivity.

Yet here they are. Maybe it's partly that almost-whole glass of wine that Atsushi had, but that attention to the base of his tail makes a heavy feeling settle in his stomach, and the ear rubs are still giving him goosebumps. It's sort of a deadly combination.]

It feels... weird.

[His face feels like it's going to explode, it's so hot. If it was a bad feeling, he could just transform back; as it is, it's only the unfamiliarity of it that keeps him from calling it good. If he doesn't know where it's going, how is he supposed to know if it's truly good?]

Hng... Chuuya-san...

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya might not be all-out drunk, but he’s certainly tipsy enough to go into shameless mode (he hardly has any to begin with), and he doesn’t stop rubbing Atsushi’s ears and tail for a second.]

Weird?

[Oh, Atsushi is blushing now. Cute...how many times is Chuuya going to think that word tonight?

It’s pretty goddamn obvious what kind of “weird” Atsushi means, and while Chuuya hadn’t originally planned for any hanky panky tonight, this is just too much fun to not see where it goes. Nevermind that they’re totally just doing this out in the open...

Oh, Chuuya likes it when Atsushi says his name like that.]

Atsushi...

[Without really thinking about any kind of consequences, Chuuya leans in and crushes their lips together in a booze-soaked kiss. It should be fine, right? They’ve done it before, so obviously it was going to happen again, right?]

[gekkajuu]

[It really is weird, the way Chuuya's attack on two ends makes Atsushi's spine practically light up. The intensity of it is unlike anything Atsushi has experienced before, and by the time Chuuya kisses him, he feels like a molten puddle of tigerboy-shaped goo. He does his best to kiss back, but he's probably a little too open-mouthed and possibly - if he's not careful - even drool-y about it.

He doesn't even realize that people may see; he's just going to shamelessly rub himself against Chuuya in an effort to deal with this omnipresent itch.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Here’s the thing; normally Chuuya isn’t here for drooling, but he’s just tipsy enough to not give a shit as he slips his tongue right past Atsushi’s lips to lick into his mouth. They both taste of wine, one of Chuuya’s favorite flavors, and maybe he’s just horny enough to suck on Atsushi’s tongue teasingly before pulling back with a smirk. Even with flushed cheeks Chuuya looks confident and in charge, and he keeps on stroking Atsushi’s tail like it’s his dick.

Hey, he doesn’t know how furry stuff works, okay? All he knows is that Atsushi seems to like it, so he’ll keep doing it.]

Good?

[He damn well knows it’s good, he just wants to hear Atsushi say it. That is, if he gets the chance to answer before Chuuya nips at one of his tiger ears.]

[gekkajuu]

Mhm... It's g-ah!

[He might actually go crazy like this, he thinks. Much more than last time, common sense isn't even a factor anymore.]

Chuuya-san...! Can we... Can we please...

[He really wants to do it again - or to get off, at least, no matter what they end up doing to get there.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Atsushi being so desperate for it is a turn-on in itself, and Chuuya is well on his way to getting fully hard himself. There’s just something thrilling about working Atsushi up like this, and Chuuya isn’t about to let up now. The question is, what should he try next? Maybe a full-on fuck would be nice, but Chuuya hardly has the patience to prepare himself right now, and like hell he’s letting Atsushi go in dry.

Tch, his drunken brain isn’t supplying any creative ideas, so here’s Chuuya crawling into Atsushi’s lap and grinding his ass down against Atsushi’s clothed erection like a sloppy, horny teenager. His grip on the base of Atsushi’s tail tightens, and Chuuya occupies his mouth by sucking a little bruise on the side of Atsushi’s neck.]

[gekkajuu]

[Atsushi is a total mess even before Chuuya gets in his lap, and by then, he doesn't know what to do with himself anymore. He just needs more stimulation, and he grinds up against Chuuya as hard as he can: his erection, by now, welcomes any kind of pressure, even if it's a little rough.

Moaning with every breath, he grabs hold of Chuuya's waist, and tries pulling him down against himself harder - which isn't very useful at all, but it's the thought that counts... or something. His ears are flattened by now, moans turning a little growly as Chuuya works his neck.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[The grip on his waist is a bold move, but Chuuya welcomes it with a roll of his hips, not reallly thinking far enough ahead to consider the fact that Atsushi might come in his pants if they keep on like this. Which is, admittedly, hotter than it should be, because Chuuya is good enough to get him off without ever actually touching his dick.

What Chuuya doesn’t expect is just how much those growly sounds rile him up; it’s like Atsushi is truly part beast right now, which shouldn’t be as hot as it is, but whatever.]

Tell me what you want.

[Chuuya’s breath is hot against Atsushi’s neck, and he hardly gives the guy a chance to answer before sinking his teeth into his neck.

Maybe he’s playing with fire a little here, or maybe that will be enough to get Atsushi off. Either way, Chuuya is game.]

[gekkajuu]

[What he wants is no doubt obvious, but putting it into words still takes more effort than it should. Some words are just not part of a polite vocabulary, you know... Still, Atsushi tries, though trying to say it doesn't keep him from continuing to grind against Chuuya as best he can.]

M-More, please, I want t- AH!

[He sees actual stars at that spark of pain, and while he doesn't understand why and how it happens, he comes, making a mess in his pants. On the bright side: he's so far gone, still riding that high, that he doesn't even realize what happened for the longest time.]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Oh...he actually came...

And yet Chuuya isn’t angry or disappointed like one would expect. He’d guessed this was a possible outcome from the very start, so it’s not a huge shock or anything. He’s only disappointed that he couldn’t drag even more of that growly side out of Atsushi, but there’s always next time, right?

Especially now that Chuuya knows he can sprout ears and a tail.

He pulls back and gives Atsushi a minute to catch his breath before giving one of his ears another little nip.]

Need to change?

[He says while Atsushi still has a lap full of Chuu.]

[gekkajuu]

Hng...

[Still feeling like he's floating in the afterglow, Atsushi leans in, all but rubbing his head against Chuuya, even if that nip to his ear was borderline painful. It just doesn't register like that anymore, and he'd welcome more of just about anything right now.

Except he's already had too much, hasn't he?

Belatedly, he opens his eyes again to look at Chuuya, trying to help his words sink in by reading his expression - but realization hits even before that, and Atsushi is mortified. It didn't even feel so bad, before, but now, he feels absolutely gross.]

T-That's... I'm sorry!

[Trying to bow with someone sitting in your lap is kind of hard, but Atsushi sure tries to. God, he needs to get clean! Maybe he can gently lift Chuuya up to get him out of his lap? He'll take the hint, right?!]

[thetaintedsorrow]

It’s fine.

[Chuuya isn’t going to laugh at him or anything; anyone else, yes, he’d make some kind of comment about how they couldn’t handle him, but somehow he really can’t justify saying such a thing to Atsushi.

He climbs off of Atsushi’s lap to let him up, though there’s still a very obvious tent between his legs.]

You gonna shower?

[He wouldn’t be opposed to bathing together, but he’s not gonna follow Atsushi around if he wants some time alone, even if he has yet to get off himself.]

[gekkajuu]

Yes...

[Of course Atsushi wants to shower, and he's glad for the opportunity to stand up - which he does, though not as quickly as he would have liked. He can't bring himself to transform his animal parts back to human, for some reason. It's almost like that would make him feel naked, when he already feels too exposed, even with his clothes on.

More importantly, though: Chuuya hasn't come yet, and Atsushi can't help staring at the tent in his pants - which should be embarrassing, but for once he's looking at it from a purely practical point of view.]

... You haven't... yet.

[He can't bring himself to say the word, but it should be obvious what he's getting at: as much as he wants to shower, it's just not okay to leave Chuuya hanging.]
