.....yes, I suppose so.

I arrived here in November. You were here before I was. I am very certain of that.

[unevoke]

that long?

[ why does he remember absolutely none of it ]

did i drink anything weird during that time

[lempereur]

Not that I am aware of.

We both had a couple of alcoholic drinks before engaging in sexual relations, but not enough to forget entire months. You were still perfectly functional, after all.

[unevoke]

[ excuse me ]

we what

[lempereur]

You and I had sex. This would have been the end of November, I believe.

You really do not remember? That's a shame.

[unevoke]

trust me
that's not the type of thing i would forget

[ his head hurts ]

was that the last time we talked

[lempereur]

It was. I had figured you were embarrassed, or regretful over it.

But of course you would not feel the need to call me afterwards if you do not remember.

when you open a tag at work to tag it and then somehow forget about it

[unevoke]

maybe
sorry i can't give you a straight answer

[ ....... ]

sorry for being a dick about it either way

[lempereur]

I am not terribly bothered by it. I thought that I had offended you without realizing.

[unevoke]

i'm not offended now

[ For what little it's worth.

And that would normally be the end of it, but morbid curiosity has him going one step further. ]

did you enjoy it



[ How shitty is he. ]

[lempereur]

Yes. You were very dominant.

[unevoke]

is that the kind of thing you’re into

[ things he never expected to be doing: talking kinks with a virtual stranger ]

[lempereur]

On occasion. I happened to be in the mood for it during our encounter.

[ Unless Shinji plans on fucking him again, he doesn't need to know anything else! ]

[unevoke]

[ magic 8 ball say: try again later ]

fair enough
i won't keep bothering you then
at least with stupid question

[lempereur]

It is not a stupid question, merely one better discussed in person.

[unevoke]

you saying you want to talk about it right now?

[lempereur]

I would not be opposed.

[unevoke]

[ .....Well, it's not like he's busy. ]

you're gonna have to remind me where you live
unless you wanna talk about it elsewhere

[lempereur]

I live in the Up, on the 69th floor.

[unevoke]

[ There's a joke to be made there, but he's not gonna make it today. ]

Be there in ten minutes then.

[ And true to his word, there's a knock on Yusuke's door some eleven minutes later. ]

[lempereur]

[ Hey, it gets him perks. Free lube and more aphrodisiacs than he will ever want. ]

Hello.

[ Yusuke answers the door well put together, as always, and politely steps aside to let him in. He's never done this before, inviting a near stranger over for what is probably a bootycall. Not that it stopped him from having sex with Shinji at that party, but it was different. The home he's made for himself is a more intimate setting. It seems like the other man has been through something, though, so maybe it would help if he were comfortable. ]

Do you recognize me?

[unevoke]

[ He's honestly not sure what to expect on the other side of the door, and feels almost palpable relief when someone around his own age answers. (He likes to think he has better sense than to hit up a doddering old man in his seventies, but this place hasn't been anything remotely close to what he's used to.)

There's a sense of caution as he steps inside, the place nicer and clearly more lived in than his own blank slate of an apartment. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't recognize it or it's owner, a fact he makes evident by the shake of his head. ]

Sorry. Haven't really recognized anything in this place so far.

[lempereur]

I'm sorry. That must be difficult for you.

[ It's difficult enough dealing with this place without sudden amnesia. Still, Yusuke believes him, he doesn't know Shinji all that well, but he was kind to him when they first met. He doesn't think he's the sort of person to lie about it, as unusual as his story is. ]

Well...my name is Yusuke. We met at a bookstore while perusing the cookbooks. I must have seemed horribly pitiable, you insisted on taking me to a diner. We met again at a party, a couple of weeks later. We were intimate there.

[ That about sums it up. ]

[unevoke]

[ Short and concise, like an elementary school book report. He's almost alarmed at how clinical Yusuke - because that's apparently his name - makes it all sound. And yet it had apparently all been fine, if their prior text conversation had been any indication. And now he's here, to talk about...he's honestly not too sure. ]

And then you never heard from me again.

[ The awkward ending to that story. Actually this whole thing is awkward for him, he'd never once imagined that there would be a point in his life where he'd be hanging out in a stranger's house discussing sex.

But here he is. Might as well cut straight to the chase, now that he's here. ]

So what do you like then? That's what we were talking about, right?

[lempereur]

Correct.

[ He's trying to fill Shinji in on what he's forgotten with as little drama as possible, so he keeps it concise. He's a little surprised Shinji wants to keep going with that train of thought at all, but he'll entertain it, gesturing his former hookup towards the couch. ]

Why would you like to know? Is this for personal use?

[ No shame in it. We all have quotas to fill... ]
