Pink Passion or the Turquoise Dream? [Rhi]

[Blue]

Unable to force his blush down below a rather warm glow, Ran finally had to admit defeat. Huffing slightly, he leaned back onto his elbows on the bed and snorted.
“Well, now that I know one of your fetishes…”
It could only be Dakota…only he could get away with doing something so absurd. Honestly, Ran wasn’t sure when he’d started putting up with such levels of bizarre…when did this become normal??
All the same, he was still grateful to have Kota as his best friend. Maybe that was why, even with such a strange situation, he still felt (mostly haha) comfortable around the ginger candidate.

He ended up looking at Kota’s legs along with his friend, and stopped himself from saying anything for a minute. He really didn’t want to say something that would sound unintentionally rude. He liked Kota as he was, which included his sense of style and, er…bold decisions.
“Well if you feel good in it, more power to you dude. And uh, yeah…gotta say I’m not exactly used to that. First of all, stockings of that variety are definitely not part of the dress code. And secondly…well, it’s not every day you see your best guy friend flaunting them either.”

[Rhi-Rhi]

Dakota laughed again. "Was it ever really a secret to begin with? Honestly, Ran, who doesn't have a bit of a stocking fetish? They look bloody fantastic! I would be shocked at anyone who claimed it didn't at least do a little something to them." And then, thinking, he paused. "Except, I suppose, for asexuals. But even they can appreciate the aesthetics."

Stretching out onto the bed, he rolled onto his side so he could face Ran. "Anyway, I know it's not like it's the norm here, dress-code wise, but it's not like candidates are so innocent. I mean, I know I still managed to get a hold or porn here and there. You know, good friends smuggling it in and--oh! Oh, gosh."

Smacking his forehead, Dakota shook his head as though embarrassed with himself. "Jeez, I've been a failure of an upper level candidate buddy! Look, Ran, if you want me to smuggle in some porn, too, so you have some eye candy to go with your meals, I can do that for you. You just have to let me know what you're into."

[Blue]

With a snort, Ran couldn’t help but agree.
“True enough, heheh.”
It was probably harder to find someone who didn’t like stockings, rather than the opposite.
And hell, he knew for a fact candidates were not innocent. It was more like…getting a hold of that sort of thing that posed more of a problem. Although Kota brought up a good point…haha, the smuggler angel again eh?
Rolling his head onto his shoulders to better look down at his friend, he arched an eyebrow at that final exclamation. Oh gosh what?

…
…
…
“…did you just offer to smuggle porn in here for me.”
He was torn between being amused and surprised. Finally, he settled onto laughter, shaking his head somewhat.
“You’re something else Kota. I never even…fuckin’ thought of that. Wow. All this time I’ve been missing out.”
Come to think of it though, he’d been too busy to even realize it these days. He was shipped off here when he was 15 years old…sure, he’d seen porn by then, but it was still something of a laughable fascination. Since arriving here, he’d learned that touching people tended to be rather uncomfortable for the other party, and most of his fooling around ended early due to potential injury.
Shit man, he was already 19 and he was missing out big time!

As if deep in thought, his brow furrowed and he flopped onto his back. Drumming his hands on his stomach for a moment, he finally spoke.
“Hell man, come to think of it, I don’t even really know what I’m into. I haven’t actually got ahold of a porno mag since I was fifteen you know?”

[Rhi-Rhi]

Dakota grinned broadly and rolled onto his belly so he could kick his legs up, showing off his stockings.

"Oh yeah, hmm? Not sure what you're into? Because I have a few ideas, considering your reactions to certain things," he said, cradling his chin in his hands and still smiling slyly. "But it's okay if you're not sure, you know. That's what experimentation is for! And heck, some things are great in your imagination but aren't things you'd actually want to do, either. Fantasy versus reality and all that."

He shook his head. "Anyway, I can pick you up a few magazines and you can see what does it for you! I guess the main question is do you have anything you know for sure you wouldn't like? I mean, I wouldn't want to bring you some bondage magazine if that stuff freaks you out."

[Blue]

Turning his head slightly, he narrowed bright eyes at Kota.
“I probably don’t even want to know what you think I like.”
One of those times where it really was better not to ask. He could only imagine what Kota would come up with, oy…

Snorting at the bondage bit, he shook his head again.
“Hell I think at this point I’m more curious than anything. I think you know me well enough not to pick up anything too bizarre.”
He then gave Kota another side-eye glance.
“Then again, who knows if I can trust you not to do it just to spite me.”
He was smirking despite himself though. That would be a pretty great joke though…only bring somebody terrible porn while they’re stuck in a sexless environment.
…
Eheh. Sexless. Yeah that was sort of his own personal problem thanks to his electro kinesis. Honestly, he seemed to have the sort of charismatic aura that people just assumed he’d easily gotten plenty of sex. The opposite was true, but he wasn’t about to correct anybody on it.
Honestly he couldn’t even remember whether or not he’d asked Dakota if he had similar problems with touching others…heh, not a conversation he wanted to have any time soon what with his bud owing him a good prank now.

[Rhi-Rhi]

Dakota mimed writing into a notepad. "Bondage it is, then! And hey, you know you can trust me! I'm not going to plop the weird stuff on you just because!" He paused. "Unless it's so bizarre it's funny or just plain, 'how do they even do that?!' weird..."

Tilting his head, he returned Ran's wary glance with a smile. "As to what I think? I think you have a thing for sexy lingerie. And that's easy enough to get! I mean, that's pretty standard, vanilla stuff. Easy peasy. Oh! Do you have a gender preference? Or is it all pretty much a green light?"

[Blue]

He snorted, but decided against saying no. Besides, he was kinda curious. No harm in that. A chuckle did escape him at that last bit.
“Ok, in that case yeah, because then we can have a good laugh at it.”
Sometimes stuff was too absurd to take seriously.

Flopping his arms back, he groaned.
“Oh my god please drop the lingerie thing already, I still have to try and get those visuals out of my head, you troll.”
Ah right then, the gender question. It ought to be obvious by now…then again, Kota was probably trying to cover all his bases.
“Uh, let’s stick to girls, thanks.”

[Rhi-Rhi]

"Ooooh, so you're still thinking about me, hmm?" Dakota said with a flutter of his lashes as he peered at Ran through them. "Duly noted! So are you sure about the just girl thing? Because, you know, there are androgynous men, too! And if my photos got that much of a rise out of you..."

Dakota grinned and poked Ran in the belly. "Just saying."

[Blue]

Oh fucking hell, of course Dakota wouldn’t drop it so easily! Dammit man, aaah, he wanted to cry…
Flushing again, he gave a pouty sort of glare at his bud. The only answer Kota received was an abrupt (and rather awkward thanks to his wrists) swat with a pillow.
“Get lost you brat! Honestly…”

[Rhi-Rhi]

Dakota threw up a hand in time to catch the pillow, but only because Ran's wrists made him a little slower. Laughing, he rolled onto his back and clutched his belly. "Ahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You're just so easy to tease! Honestly, Ran, you leave yourself wide open!"

[Blue]

Ran made an over exaggerated scowl, nose wrinkled and all, but it pretty quickly melted into a lopsided grin as Kota lost himself to laughter.
“Yeah yeah, laugh it up you ginger menace.”
We’ll see who has the last laugh here.
Even as he was called ‘easy to tease’, he settled back into his reclining position, slowly reached out, and touched Dakota’s ear with one finger.
Which was enough to send a spark of electricity that once again turned his friend into an afro monster.

[Rhi-Rhi]

That Dakota had no time to defend himself from. One minute he was resting on his back, having a good laugh, and then...

Zap!

With a squeal of surprise and panic, Dakota jerked bolt upright and felt frantically at his hair--which, indeed, had become a poofy mess of horrors. With another little squeak, he spun around on Ran, betrayal in his eyes.

"You monster! Why would you--? How could you--? Oh! You're asking for it now, buddy!"

And then he lunged at Ran and pounced him, pinning him down in his puffy, lacy dress and promptly straddling him so he could commence tickling him mercilessly.

And with the way Ran's wrists were bound, he would have a difficult time defending himself.

[Blue]

Ran started out laughing, but it quickly turned into a shout.
“Don’t hurt the cripple! Hey!”
He didn’t have a chance to curl into a ball, and instead ended up with another full grown man sitting on him.
“Oof! Lay off the organic cupcakes you-ahaha! Fuck! No, cut it out!”
Sputtering, he flailed both legs as the tickling began. He couldn’t hold back the laughter, even as his practically useless hands attempted to stop Kota’s assault.
“Help! Ahaha, help I’m being attacked! Pfft, ahaha, I’m being attacked by an afro monster!!”
Since his current attempts weren’t getting him anywhere, he tried bucking upward and twisting his hips in an attempt to throw Kota off balance. He was bigger than his friend, but they both had the same amount of training, and he wasn’t exactly liking his odds with Kota on top already.

[Rhi-Rhi]

Dakota was relentless in his tickling, only shifting his weight to compensate when Ran struggled. "Excuse you! Are you calling me fat? Because I'll have you know that's pure muscle, mister! I may look frilly and poofy, but I assure you beneath this dress I am one-hundred percent beefcake!"

Laughing, he grabbed for Ran's wrists to try to pin them both in one hand so he could tickle him without getting smacked, but that was when Ran bucked his hips. Unfortunately, Dakota had been leaning forward when he went for the wrist grab, so the movement pitched him off balance. With a yelp, he flopped forward onto Ran--and mashed their mouths together in the process.

[Blue]

If Ran was laughing before, he could hardly breath by the time Dakota declared himself ‘100% beefcake’.
Oh fuck man, he was gonna piss himself at this rate. This sucked, seriously, he could hardly breathe and tears were in the corners of his eyes.

A different set of stinging tears sprung up in his eyes moments later when, none too gracefully, they shared a rather ‘smashing’ kiss.
He half expected to taste blood with the way his lips were screaming in pain, crushed between two sets of teeth as they were. Turning his head, he let out a pained hiss.
“Ow, ow, fuck…fuck me that hurt. Shit. Ah, crap you okay Kota? Are you bleeding?”

[Rhi-Rhi]

Brilliant white lights blossomed before Dakota's eyes, right before the pain bloomed in his mouth. Pushing himself upright, tears in his eyes, he clapped his hands to his mouth and then glanced at his palm, expecting blood. When he saw none, he pressed his hand back to his lips again and groaned, eyes shut.

"Owww...man..." he whimpered, then cracked his eyes open at Ran's question. Glancing at Ran, and then at his palm again, he nodded.

"I...yeah. I'm not bleeding, at least! And my teeth are all still there. I think." He felt them with a finger just to be sure, and nodded. "Ugh...gosh, I'm sorry, Ran. Are you okay? I didn't mean to, uh...lay one on you quite like that."

[Blue]

It was so absurd, but when Dakota had to put it that way, Ran couldn’t help himself. He found himself laughing again, even though his mouth and his sides were both terribly sore.
“Ahaha, ow ow…yeah, no permanent damage.”
He snickered again despite himself, though regretted it as pain rippled through his lips.
“Ah, you know, I hope you don’t kiss everyone that way. You’re liable to chip a friggin’ tooth.”

[Rhi-Rhi]

Still rubbing his sore lips, Dakota gave Ran an incredulous stare. "What? No! Of course not! Only you get the special kisses, apparently."

With a grunt, he sat upright, still straddling Ran though he either didn't notice or care. "I mean, gosh. Rough is fun but it's not actually supposed to hurt like that, you know."

[Blue]

Special kisses, riiight. He snorted with a smirk, but decided against laughing again. Man that smarted…guess that was to be expected, given how sensitive lips were. Ahaha…what if they both ended up with a fat lip? Wouldn’t that be hysterically awkward…

Ran found himself straddled again for the second time that afternoon, but a quick glance at the situation alerted him that there was not going to be a way to remove Dakota that would not be some degree of awkward.
“Heheh, I’ll take your word for it on that one. Ah, you gonna move sometime today princess?”
He gave Kota’s knee a brief pat to alert him that, well, he’d like to not have his bud’s crotch on him much longer thanks.

[Rhi-Rhi]

"Oh! What? Am I too fat for you?" With a laugh, Dakota lifted up to move off of Ran, and had just plopped down onto the bed beside him when something Ran said clicked in his mind.

Or rather, it wasn't just that comment, but the accumulation of similar ones that made realization dawn.

"Wait a second...you'll 'take my word for it'?"

A slow smile spread across his lips, and, shaking his head, he sat back on his hands.

"Wow...I don't believe it. Ran, are you...are you a virgin?"
