DICK;

[crashout]

[Likewise, Junpei's been out and definitely. Doing things. And talking to people. So when he enters the room he slips off his jacket to put on a chair nearby. He pauses when he sees Dick standing out in the open half-naked, and it's not really that big of a deal because they've been living together for a while and he's seen Dick naked more than once, but it does mean he lingers.

Comparatively, he seems a little calmer and quieter than the night before. Not entirely happy because who can be in a place like this, but less volatile and erratic.]

Hey. [...he'll enter the room further, sort of gliding his way further into the room, not sure what to really make of the look.] ...everything okay?

[unpredicktable]

[ dick relaxes with a huff, going back to stepping out of his ridiculous superhero outfit ]

Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? [ he rolls his shoulders a bit but doesn't elaborate ]

[crashout]

[...now he just looks embarrassed.]

Pretty sure I owe you an apology for last night. That...probably shouldn't have happened. [He's just settling on the bed and half-looking at the ceiling and half-watching Dick. ]

[unpredicktable]

[ he's only half-watching, but dick notices, and-- alright, may put a little more of a show into it than he normally would. nothing too obvious, but. listen, it's reflexive, and maybe a little bit of a distraction because of this talk. ]

What? Getting upset? You know you're allowed to have feelings, right?

[ pot, kettle, ]

[crashout]

[He doesn't mind the show. Thanks Dick. But he shakes his head and frowns a little.]

I'll acknowledge my feelings when you do. [Just calling him out, but.] Anyway I'm not sure that's true and it's not like it's going to...whatever. [Ugh. ] It still wasn't cool. That's all.

[unpredicktable]

[ BLATANTLY IGNORES THAT CALL OUT ]

Dude. It's not like you were taking it out on me. It's fine. [ anyway, he steps out of his uniform completely and turns around and bends over to pick it up (you're welcome) and put it on top of a chair or something. there are so many sharp objects in that thing he can't leave it on the ground. ]

[crashout]

[Well now he's just distracted by Dick's ass so. He shuts up. Thanks.]

...yeah. [He'll...roll onto his back instead to stare at the ceiling. Alas.]

[unpredicktable]

[ dick takes off his mask last, looking at junpei on the bed, and: ]

Do you need a written invitation? 'Cause I can do that too, but it'll be heavy on the awkward.

[ honestly, when he'd seen him, he hadn't immediately thought about it, but being watched and the reminder of how close they got on thursday might have made him want to let off some steam a little after. well, this whole week. ]

[crashout]

[There's a lot he can say here, but. He lazily lifts a hand and gestures to himself before letting it flop on his stomach.]

Kinda thought this was the invitation. [He raises an eyebrow, an uneasy grin following.] Which...now got awkward anyway. [He props himself up on his elbows instead.]

It's been a pretty long week, dude.

[unpredicktable]

You're always a little awkward. I'm used to it. [ it's teasing, and it's definitely believable after dick crawls up on the bed next to junpei with a smile, lying down on his side and propping himself up on an elbow. ] And yeah, no kidding. Sooo. Chop chop, clothes off.

[ he is clearly kidding on that one. ]

[crashout]

I've been told it's part of my charm. [But Dick joins him on the bed and he blinks slowly, the grin changing from uneasy to relax almost easily. He sits up all the way now to start removing his shirt.]

And talk about demanding. You could at least ask first. [Also kidding, but somehow that helps.]

[unpredicktable]

[ dick stays where he is, his smirk growing a little ]

Nah. [ it's an appreciative tone, somehow? ] You have to work harder than that to get me to beg.

[ no one said anything about begging. ]

[crashout]

[The shirt's tossed aside, and he glances back at Dick again.]

What have I told you about challenges, Grayson? You've gotta stop giving them out if you don't want me to take them.

[unpredicktable]

[ dick cackles a bit ]

Maybe I'm doing it on purpose! [ with the stabbing one. he was not. but this one... hmm ]

[crashout]

[...hmm...

With zero warning he's just bowling into him attempting to knock him over and crawl on top of him. Apparently he's feeling better than last night, at least.]

And why would you be doing that?

[unpredicktable]

[ he's taken by surprise enough that it's completely successful-- and with an "oof" dick is on his back with junpei crawling over him. now isn't that familiar for this week. he blinks before smirking again ]

Why wouldn't I be?

[crashout]

[He wins. He grins triumphantly from his place and he lays so they're chest to chest, arms folded and chin resting on his arms.]

Because you have a lot of other choices on this goddamn ship? [Just saying, and also a tiny bit jealous which is dumb as hell given Junpei's own choices and situation.]

[unpredicktable]

[ he tilts his head a bit with a slow, confused blink, raising an eyebrow ]

And you don't? [ but he raises his arm to run a hand through his hair ] If you want me to stop, just say so.

[ it's half-teasing, half-serious ]

[crashout]

I have a lot less options than you think I do, probably. [Which is just matter of fact and not really unhappy. Self-deprecating maybe, but nothing too concerning. Unfortunately the only response is Junpei leaning into Dick's hand.]

...what am I supposed to want you to stop, exactly?

[unpredicktable]

And I fuck a lot less people than you think I do, probably.

[ that one is wry, because it's come up a few times with other people, but it's a self-deprecating joke right back all the same. ]

The challenging, genius. Keep up.

[crashout]

I don't really make assumptions about that. [Bullshit, but it's okay. It's not his business just like it's not Dick's who he fucks. But he shakes his head.]

Anyway, no. It's actually kind of hot. [And maybe he gets off on being competitive.] You just have to promise you won't be upset when you lose.

[unpredicktable]

[ he raises a very dubious eyebrow at that first line, head tilted to the side but he lets it go to concentrate on the rest: ]

You're very confident for a guy that hasn't done anything to back it so far. [ and then, cheeky: ] And somehow, I don't think I'd mind it too much even if I did lose this one.

[crashout]

I'll take that as standing permission then. [But he does actually shut up finally to turn his head enough and immediately draw him into a deep kiss. Hi. It's fine. They've been cucked for days by being busy and then by being sad, so it's...maybe a little desperate and aggressive even if his hands are sliding to the side and onto Dick's shoulders.]

[unpredicktable]

[ his answering laugh is swallowed into the kiss, and that's fine, honestly, his hand sliding up to cup the back of junpei's head to deepen it. he's a lot mellower than junpei, but-- well, he also just gave him a challenge he has no intention of making any easier on him, so. ]

[crashout]

[On the one hand, he would be super down with just something lowkey and mellow after this week, but on the other hand he isn't great at backing down. Dick holds onto the back of his head and Junpei's fingers curl up against the sides of Dick's head and into his hair, pulling a little for leverage. He has a few tricks up his sleeve but right now this is easy mode.]
