No. It's not. It just surprised me. I thought you were kinda proud of your manliness.

[the_cataclysm]

Why, cause I like punchin' people in the mouth?

[morituri_reverie]

No, just that you aren't showing what you've got. You seem pretty proud of you body.

[the_cataclysm]

It's a pretty girly body, if y'haven't noticed.

[morituri_reverie]

I definitely haven't noticed. I mean, you're a thin guy but when I think of a girl, I think of curves.

[the_cataclysm]

I can't help that I'm thin! *he makes a face* Whatever.

[morituri_reverie]

No, I didn't mean it like an insult. I like the way you look. You know I like the way you look.

[the_cataclysm]

I make a very pretty girl, though. Trust me.

[morituri_reverie]

*She smiles a little.* You could show me.

[the_cataclysm]

*He hesitates, furrowing his eyebrows* I... dunno. I don't show people.

[morituri_reverie]

Since when am I just people? Besides, I'm only mostly straight. You might be hot. Please?

[the_cataclysm]

*He's worried that she'll hate it, that she'll see him differently, that she'll judge him. Realistically he knows all of that isn't true, but it's all he's been shown forever, growing up and he can't separate the two* Can I have some time t'think about it?

[morituri_reverie]

Yeah, of course. I'm not trying to pressure you or anything. Take as much time as you need. I'll be here.

[the_cataclysm]

It's just really private'n I got a lotta really bad experiences with it.

[morituri_reverie]

*She nods and chews her lip again. She was dying to ask about it but she didn't want to bring up a lot of bad memories for him.*

[the_cataclysm]

*And he's perfectly happy not sharing them, because the last thing he wants to do is share*
