[ He tilts his head, a mischievous look in his eyes. ]

You were daydreaming about going camping with me? I’m flattered.

[weaseled]

Not even close. I knew early on a guy like you wouldn't be any good to go camping with. I bet you'd throw a fit of a bug crawled in your hair.

[Does Fai really have long hair in real life? Yael can hardly imagine it, reaching up to toy with the feathery blond ends. Just how long is it?]

[fluorite]

[ Oh. He’s a little bit surprised when Yael reaches up to touch his hair, but the only real evidence of his surprise is the very slight widening of his eyes for a brief moment. ]

Hmmm. Maybe, maybe not.

[ He would. ]

I think I could manage, though. Teach me how to set things up and I’ll be fine.

[weaseled]

"You'll have to wait and see," is that it?

[Before letting go of Fai's hair, he yanks it for good measure.]

I'll think about it. I haven't been out camping in a long time.

[fluorite]

[ Of course Yael pulls on his hair. He really is like a kid on a playground… ]

Then why not go? There are a lot of nice spots around, and I won’t go unless someone makes me.

[ He shrugs before reaching behind him to pay Yael’s knee. ]

Once your leg is healed up.

[weaseled]

That might take a while. You sure I'll still be your type by the time my leg's healed?

[Honestly, he's tempted to pull Fai's hair again. It's simple, harmless fun.]

[fluorite]

[ He hums like he’s giving that some real serious thought. ]

Men like you have always been my type.

[ But is that really a surprise…? ]

[weaseled]

Really? And here I thought I was special.

[Not really. He doesn't sound terribly offended by that revelation either.]

What about "men like me" appeals to you?

[fluorite]

I have more fun.

[ There’s a lot more to it, such as being able to keep up with him, but he’s absolutely not going to say that. ]

What about you? Do you even have a type?

[ Honestly, he’s still unsure if Yael is totally straight or not. This is his extremely indirect way of trying to find out. ]

[weaseled]

[They say blonds have more fun, don't they? Clearly Fai is genetically predisposed to that sort of thing, but also, that doesn't answer his question??

Fine. He'll throw Fai a bone here.]

Blond hair. Blue eyes. Tall.

[But before Fai can get too excited, Yael raises his hands up to his chest and mimes a pair of breasts. A very generous pair.]

Busty.

[fluorite]

[ Getting his hopes up only to crash them just like that—

Sort of.

Fai’s beginning to see a pattern here with Yael’s terrible sense of humor, so he simply shakes his head and pulls away to lay back on the grass himself. ]

How vulgar.

[weaseled]

Really? You're going to shame me for having preferences? Harsh.

[Still, he isn't offended. When Fai flops back into the grass beside him, Yael sits up on an elbow to get a better look at his face.]

I'm not that particular. Thin and flat as a board is pretty attractive too.

[Just saying.]

[fluorite]

[ He eyes Yael as he spreads out his limbs to essentially starfish pose in the grass. It feels refreshing, and makes the weird nervousness he feels at being described to a tee easier to bear. ]

You’re not? You strike me as the kind of guy that has an entire list of qualities he looks for.

[ Look, Fai isn’t saying Yael comes off as picky and hard to please, but… ]

[weaseled]

You're not wrong, but you aren't right either.

[...How long has it been since he's done this? How many years? Yael draws in a long, deep breath, exhaling it just as slowly.]

Appearances only matter so much. They'll fade with time too. If you pick your partners based on looks alone, you'll be miserable when you're both old and ugly.

[fluorite]

You’re so blunt.

[ He laughs. Maybe he should have expected it, but it keeps catching him by surprise. ]

But you’re right. You have to bend a little for that. No one is ever going to check off every box on a list.

[weaseled]

Blunt's what you like, isn't it? You didn't answer my question, so I'm filling in the blanks myself.

[But see? They're of like mind on this. Maybe they aren't that different after all.]

You're awfully blunt yourself... ah, but only over text. Where's your nerve gone?

[fluorite]

[ He bites back the urge to roll his eyes, only because that’s what Yael would want. ]

Hmm, I wonder~ Maybe I’m just too relaxed right now.

[ Fai closes his eyes. ]

There are no lockers here for you to shove me into.

[weaseled]

Guess not. I'll just have to find some other way to bully you.

[And he already has, feeling his opportunity has come when Fai closes his eyes and leaves himself open to attack. Rather... this feels right, insomuch as it can, so Yael leans and presses their lips together.

Brief, fleeting, but it feels just like the real thing. He's trying his hardest to ignore the flood of emotion that follows, all the sensation, falling silent in the wake of it. It's been so, so long, and he isn't sure he's ready to go back.]

[fluorite]

[ His eyes flutter open at the sensation as a soft gasp escapes him. His hand flies up to his mouth as his brows furrow. ]

Oh.

[ It feels… real.

The food, the drinks, even battle all felt real, but it takes this for it to fully sink in for Fai. What does it mean, if his own lips in real life tingle with the gentle pressure of Yael’s lips pressed against them a few moments ago? ]

I… didn’t think it would feel so real.

[weaseled]

[He'd forgotten the aftermath of a first kiss— how it tingles, every nerve in his body alight, anxiety humming through his veins. Fai's response isn't poor by any means, but ah. It's hard not to feel anxious. Impossible, really.

Yael moves back, enough to grant Fai some space, but not much farther. His hands are clammy...]

Don't be too surprised. Everything else in this game feels real too.

[fluorite]

[ Fai sits up, feeling the urge to brush the grass out of his hair, even though there would reasonably be none stuck to it. ]

But it’s different than anything else so far.

[ He smiles, trying to figure out what Yael’s thinking. ]

I wouldn’t mind it again.

[weaseled]

Oh yeah?

[Yael snorts, amused... but more than anything, he's relieved. Another, huh? So he didn't mind it after all. What a relief.]

Kiss me yourself, nerd.

[fluorite]

Ready to start a fight, even now?

[ Fai doesn’t mind it at all, though, which is clear when he leans in and presses their lips together again. It’s soft and chaste, but he lingers longer than Yael did. ]

[weaseled]

Naturally.

[Bless Fai for going easy on him. His skin bristles with that second kiss, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. It really has been too long. More importantly, Fai's lips are a natural fit against his own.]

Not too bad.

[fluorite]

[ He quirks an eyebrow. ]

Hmm. Not terrible yourself either.

[ Not at all. There are butterflies in his stomach and he feels simultaneously excited and foolish. This is a video game, so why is it affecting him like this?

It’s definitely not the game itself. ]
