arsgoetia | [Game 11] Investigation Team (David's)

[ Salutes Fon, then follows David out. ]

David leads the way to his bedroom.

(David's bedroom is much, much messier than the rest of the apartment. The bed is unmade, and there are clothes everywhere. He has a huge TV facing the bed, with literally every type of modern game console, and racks of games next to it. There is a mirror on the door of a walk-in-closet, though for some reason there's a sheet hung on a hook overtop of it. There is a huge desk in the corner with three computer screens and a large pile of books. The windows are closed, and covered with blackout curtains.)

[ ... predictably going and perving on the games while David does his thing ]

There's Diablo 3, Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 . . .

"Really, Kazuki? Not now . . ." David sounds amused, though.

Taking a second to look doesn't hurt!

[ But fineee. Gives a longing look to said games, before turning his attention to David. ]

. . . also has, like, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and BioShock Infinite . . .

"Maybe if you stuck around . . ." David's back is to him as he says this.

... are you bribing me?

"Just a comment," David says, fingers spinning on a safe under the desk. "If you stayed for videogames and not your boyfriend, I'd be a little annoyed."

I was about to say that too, it'd be annoying if you thought you'd have to bribe me.

[ Moving next to, and... putting a hand on David's back, okok '-' ]

The safe clicks open.

David looks up at Kazuki. ". . . I'm . . . sorry. I didn't mean—"

I know. Who knows, maybe staying's possible after this?

[ Distracted a little from the safe atm!! Though he does glance towards it, naturally curious. ]

David pulls a couple things out, then closes it, dropping them aside and reaching up to tug Kazuki down closer to him.

"I would like that . . ."

[ Kneels down, then! And looks at David seriously, considering. ]

David...

". . . what?"

[ There's a lot he wants to say! About his connections he has with other people, and that new peaceful life, and that David's much older and changed than when they first met and Kazuki's grown so little in comparison, but. There's a lot of reasons why those aren't worth saying either, and there are possible solutions, and he knows it. So that really leaves one thing. ]

... I'm getting a little sick of technically only been dating you for like, a week! I'll try.

. . .

"We can talk about it later . . ." David says hesitantly.

If you want! I still love you though, so you still have to deal with it.

"I love you," David blurts. "I just—this is getting ridiculous? You have a life? That isn't here? I mean—"

I know! And so do you. Then you still spend the last year and a half being my boyfriend anyway. So... of course it's ridiculous! I come back and see you walking around and taller and probably in college or running your Dad's business successfully or whatever, I definitely know it's ridiculous more than anyone!

David shifts back a little, leaning against the side of his bed.

". . . sometimes I'd think, this is stupid, I can't keep waiting for you forever. I'm twenty-two . . ." He pauses. "But then, I realize . . . I kind of can? I don't mind waiting. I'll wait. If you want me to. If you don't feel tied down . . ."

I can't ask that, David. And not because I'd feel tied-down, it's because it's not right for me to ask that.

"You don't need to ask." David rubs his face with his hand. "I'm not interested in anybody else."

[ Augh tearing up, and being totally open about it ]

I know! I'm... sorry I'm a really shitty person to be interested in.

"What—no!" David grabs his wrist. "I'm not saying that at all! I don't think that at all . . ."

It's true, though! I'm don't make room for you in my life, even though you do for me! How bad is that?!
