damned_institute | Day 38: Game Room

She’d never been in the Game Room before.

It didn’t look spectacularly interesting, she had to admit… but it’d be more fun than just hanging out in the Sun Room, right? Yuffie idly thumbed through a deck of cards, walking around the room to examine various bits and pieces. Board games, video games, chess… No really awesome prank material that she could see, but maybe she could rope somebody into a game of poker? That could be fun, but… ah, then again, most of the patients were just like her -- they didn’t have anything really cool that she could swindle out of them. Not until Nightshift, anyway.

Still! She’d keep it in mind. It wasn’t like there was anybody else in the room yet anyway, so any potential swindling would have to wait a little while. What could she do in the meantime, huh? Pick- pocketing a nurse could be fun..! Wait -- no, not when it was quiet like this. She’d have to wait until there was more cover, unless she got distracted. Yuffie hadn’t stolen anything in days, not since that time in Doyleton, with the Kaito kid…

Yuffie smirked. That had been fun.

Zelnick reclaimed his hand from ZEX's grasp, for the purpose of burying his face in it in embarrassment. "Oh, ZEX," he muttered, and was silent for a moment before dropping his hands flat to the table, staring at them instead of looking at ZEX. "It, uh, is... a thing humans can do, yeah." Zelnick even had a general idea of how it worked between two guys. "But it's not something..." He lifted a hand to gesture, though what the gesture was meant to convey was anyone's guess, the message lost in Zelnick's embarrassment. Anyway, if he remembered The Talk right, it needed... supplies. Of the kind they were unlikely to find in this place.

Suddenly, another thought struck him, and he frowned slightly with a quietly huffy, "And why would you be the one doing the penetrating?" That didn't seem quite the right way around, and he... realized he was actually thinking about it. Er. Purely theoretically, because even though he'd come to terms with kind of liking ZEX, he hadn't decided he liked ZEX quite that much.

ZEX wasn't entirely happy to relinquish his human's hand, but he let him have it back. He would have tilted his head at his explanation if he understood the motion. Instead he stared somewhat blankly. "So it is something that humans can do! That's what I thought..." Actually, that was what he'd been told, but details. "It's not what?"

ZEX blinked a few times at the question, completely lost as to why his human would have a problem with something like that. "As I understand it, the one penetrating is the dominant partner, isn't that right?" It was still something of an odd concept to him, and it showed a little in his voice. Whether or not he intended it, his awkward smile was a bit patronizing. "So that would be me, wouldn't it?"

Still totally unself-aware, ZEX paused for a moment in thought. "Although, I suppose you'd have more experience with that sort of thing... you'd have to perhaps show me how at first."

"It's, it's," he waved his hands around vaguely, at a loss for words, and then buried his face in them with a quiet "arrgh" sound. How was he supposed to explain this to ZEX? Especially when he was blushing so hot, it felt like his face was going to burst into flames?

At that bit, though, his hands slid away from his face, and he gave ZEX a flatly incredulous look. Yeah, ZEX might have been more proactive and pushy and... well, kinda dominant, maybe, at times. But still! He was pretty sure who penetrated who (why was he thinking about this) was determined by who liked what, not who was... arrgh. Arrgh. His brain was going to melt out his ears. Especially because what ZEX was talking about was bringing unwanted images to mind...

"ZEX, can we not talk about this?" he asked, a little too pleadingly.

ZEX watched him, perplexed. He'd seen his human in a variety of emotional states before (some more desirable than others), but this one was a bit new to him. He really wasn't sure why frank discussion of sexual activity would make him react this way. ZEX didn't find anything wrong with it, after all.

The deeper meaning behind his human's expression was lost on ZEX, as were most human expressions, and instead he focused on his human's color. He'd certainly gotten him excited, anyway!

"Why not?" ZEX was still trying to give the matter the thought it deserved and also not to let his desire get the better of him, for both their sakes (if only it was night!). He blinked, suddenly stumbling across an idea, and he smiled unconsciously in a satisfied kind of way.

"Ah, I see! You're being shy again! Hee! Hee! Hee!" His human was such a silly creature. ZEX leaned in closer towards him. "There's no need to be shy, Captain... after all, we've shared so much already." With more of a leer this time.

Apparently, the fondness he has started to feel for ZEX did have limits, somewhere around the point where ZEX started pestering him about sex of a kind Zelnick had absolutely no experience with-- and acting almost irritatingly smug when Zelnick got embarrassed about it.

"I'm not being shy, it's just--! It's embarrassing to talk about this kind of stuff! Especially in public." He leaned back a bit when ZEX leaned in. "Please, ZEX, not now."

It seemed like his human was getting upset. No doubt because he couldn't act on the desire written all over his face, and ZEX could certainly sympathize with that! The creatures did have their limits after all... ZEX needed to keep that in mind.

"Well, if you insist," ZEX said, still somewhat puzzled at his reaction to such talk. "We can always talk about it later, when we're alone and can devote more time and energy to the subject." His unconscious grin surfaced again. A lot more time and energy, if he had anything to do with it...

Somewhere, ZEX vaguely recalled their last meeting, and that there was something important that he should ask about now while he had the chance, probably involving that wretched Shofixti that had so ruined his day before, but he didn't exactly feel like going back to that just yet. He could always wile away time describing his human's attributes, but he was being so fussy today and he probably wouldn't appreciate it.

There had to be something other than sex to talk about, although ZEX was hardpressed to find what it was. He ran over the day's events in his head, and things clicked into place quickly. "You saw your therapist today, didn't you?" ZEX couldn't help the bitterness that crept into his voice at the word, even though Wilson had been perfectly nice to him. He'd had years of negative conditioning, after all.
