[ ohhhhh eiden just puts his cheek in his hand and looks over at him with this expression of "you poor unfortunate soul." the coolness skyrocketing into sheer embarrassment is so overwhelming that it eats that feeling up in an instant however, and eiden
is really trying not to laugh despite himself. ]
God, I know a guy like that. First time we kissed it was awful... had to teach him.
[ a beat ]
Hm, you sure it wasn't you though?
[ ... needling. the distinct sense that sqq is maybe being made fun of, but in the sort of tender teasing way. ]
[ your mistake was not taking eiden out of the library to have this conversation. instead he's sprawled across the table like a kid in high school talking to their friend while doing homework. ]
Mmmhmm.
[ the faux doubt permeates. he's thinking really hard and feeling really hard about 'man sqq is a bad kisser, poor guy' no i'm joking. ]
Maybe he sucks at it and his wives just put up with it for whatever reason... unreliable narrators, you know?
[ help him, he didn't ask for this (he appreciates eiden so much) ]
Sure he's only the second person but still! At least I know not to use teeth!
[ on the first kiss at least. you ask about these things, not start with them! binghe, please! he just..... makes a deflating balloon noise. girl help, he ruined his protags thot energy ]
Stupid airplane is also. Very Descriptive. The damn novel is over 10 million words. He knew what he was doing [ eventually ]
It was the novel of the year, stupidly long and full of nothing but plot holes, endless papapa, and backstories that went nowhere.
But, as he admitted. A guy had to eat.
[ he rubs his forehead because despite how much he wants to break airplane bro over his knee, keeping the novel going to keep the lights on is understandable. ..........not that it helped in the end, ha. haha! :weary: ]
Man, if anything, I can relate to that. You go, Airplane... write that shit. Paid by the word, paid by the chapter... why does capitalism ruin everything?
Something about the novel he wrote and the story he wanted being two separate things and hoping for someone to turn the damn plot around and pulling all these loose threads together blah blah blah. Which is how the system grabbed me I suppose.
[ he loved the story but hated the novel so much he got to be lucky winner 100. terrible. ]
[ just. reaches out and puts a hand on his arm to pat pat pat. and then probably rests his fingers on it as reassuring as he can be. there's no hardcore sympathy here, only the warm desire to try and lighten things up a little. ]
