That attempt was just as futile as all the other ones had been. Sheesh, Ashton just couldn't hide something like that, could he? It didn't take a scientist to realize that Ashton was extra-virgin as well as extra-nervous, and that knowledge made Xigbar grin. Honestly, he was surprised no one had at least tried, considering how gosh-darn adorable Ashton was. Not bad-looking, either... and if he was left high and dry, then Xigbar wouldn't have just Ashton on his tail.
Mm, but he couldn't just teleport away. That'd put a damper on the matter.
Regardless, the Nobody let his fingers trail down Ashton's spine, the motion more light and less cleansing than what he had been doing before. "Y'know," he conversationally stated, "it's not nice to lie to your friends. You're about to jump right out of your skin just like this. 'Lots of guys'? Bo-logna."
Then he spoke in a somewhat hurt voice. Ashton was a soft heart, after all; that was an easy way to take advantage of him. "Just 'cause I'm a predator doesn't mean that I'm on the hunt all the freakin' time. But if you don't trust me even a little, then just say so. I can take it. You're a big boy, you could probably scrub your own back anyway if you don't want me around."
