tag Mad Sweeney...alcuin bakes.
Jackrabbit was nervous. Upset. Confused. And carrying a cheesecake Alcuin had made for him. He went to Sweeney's door, knocked on it and leaned on the wall near the door.
Directly after this conversation:
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *carrying up one of the cheesecakes he made* Jackrabbit? *knocks politely at the door
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *comes to the door, barechested except for the torque around his neck and wearing a blue robe around his waist. He smiles* Hallo Sweetness.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *leans up to kiss Jackrabbit's cheek, returning the smile* Brought you a cheesecake.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit:*grins* Always baking, arent you. Will you help me eat it?
stardustenigma: Alcuin: If you like. *teasing smile* Are you inviting me in?
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *takes the cheesecake from his hands, allows him in* Thank you.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *takes a seat cross-legged on the bed, producing two silver forks from a back pocket* That's new. *points at the torque*
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *looks down, grins - also flashes a gold armband.* Mad Sweeney gave it to me. A crazy Finn made it.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *smiles* They're beautiful. Now come here. *holds out a fork for him*
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *plops down next to him, taking a fork and scooping out a bite from the cheesecake*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *smiles fondly, watching him* I talked to Sweeney.
jackfingtwist: JAckrabbit: *shoves the bite in his mouth, looks at him, chewing*...yes?
stardustenigma: (Oh, it's a chocolate cheesecake, with slices of strawberry decorating the top.)
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *giggles a little* I feel sorry for him sometimes, I think he's a bit... overwhelmed, between the two of us.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: Hes overwhelmed with just one of us. *sucks some cheesecake from his fingers and grabbing a strawberry*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *nods* He is. But he's got two of us to deal with. *acting more casual than he actually is, aware of Jackrabbit's every movement*
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: mmm...spose. *takes a big bite.*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *carefully* He loves us both, Jackrabbit.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *ears go red at that, but he doesn't say anything, just chews a little more forcefully*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: You're still afraid he'll stale of you?
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit:...This cheesecake is good, Sweetness.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Jackrabbit
stardustenigma: .
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *is quiet* I don't....want to talk about it.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Please. *bites his lip* The only way that not talking about it is if I leave.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: I'll get out of your life, you won't have to see me or speak to me again. If that's what you want.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: Thats not - thats not what I want. I don't know what I want.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: We have to talk about it. We can't just pretend it doesn't exist. So please, can we talk?
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *stares at cheesecake* You should teach me to bake. Bolivar can bake. And Bee. *stands, fork in mouth, begins to walk away, then sits again*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *sets the cheesecake on the table by the bed and reaches out for him* I will. Come here?
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *takes fork out of mouth, looks at it. He moves over to him, sighing*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *pulls him close, so that he can kiss the top of Jackrabbit's head, and starts gently massaging his skull* Do you trust me? *softly kisses his forehead*
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *mumbled* Yes...
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Relax, love. *ruffles Jackrabbit's hair* Breathe. *smiles gently, continuing to massage and relax him* I've been trained to read people, you see. I can tell when they're lying, when they're hurt, when they're in love.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: And I know that he loves you first. I know that no matter what happens to me, you will always come first in his heart.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: I won't take him away from you. I promise you that. If I want you, then I want both of you, together and happy.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: I know I'll always be second in your affections. I'll never compare with the love you two have for each other. *ruffles Jackrabbit's hair again, lightly* I won't take him away from you, I promise. I won't let that happen.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: Person loves me, fasure. But....but, core circles, they shouldn't interchange....*is said in a quiet voice, to himself more than Alcuin. He believes what Alcuin is saying. But he is still uncomfortable*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Shouldn't, but do. *kisses his temple* Why shouldn't they interchange, in Mattapoisett? I don't understand that.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: Love slingings. Happens, oft. Same as why we do not comp with pillowfriends. Two mothers are pillowfriends, and bitterness happens, then there causes difficulty for the child. Two people couple, and they strain each other, the third person will be unnecessarily strained and force to choose. Or the two will stale on the original and cause rifts.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Yes. I understand that. *sighs* Oh, Jackrabbit. *hugs him close* Listen. *nosekiss* In the first situation, where the third person will be unnecessarily strained and forced to chose, that's not a problem with us, see? If Sweeney and I have a rift and you're forced to choose, you'll choose him over me. And he'd choose you over me. So you needn't worry about that, the worst that would happen is that you'd lose me, and I might have to go away anyway, if we can't settle this.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: And as for the second, *pokes him softly*, he loves you too much to ever stale on you, and I think you love him too much to ever stale on him, so if anyone is staled of, it'll be me, and that'll end up the same way as the first.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *softly* If... if it doesn't work, then I'll go away, and the two of you will be same as ever. But isn't it at least worth trying?
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit:....is unfair for you.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: It's more unfair if you don't give me a chance.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *goes quiet* I comprend, Alcuin..... I feel heavy.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Too much cheesecake. *weak smile, hugging him*
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *quiet...chuckles quietly* yes. Too much
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *still gently playing with jackrabbit's hair* Before, I was in love with a man named Haldir.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: He was my everything. *sad smile* I don't really want it to be fair. If you loved me as much as you loved Sweeney, it wouldn't be fair to you, because I can't love you back that much.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: I'll never love anyone as much as him. *kiss* But I can still love.
jackfingtwist: JAckrabbit: *sadly enough, this makes him feel much better* Yes. I comprend.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: So with all the things you're worrying about, don't worry about it being fair to me. *pokes his head, teasing* I'd be more strained if you did love me as much as Sweeney.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *plays with Alcuins hair.* Yes. I grasp. And what did Mad Sweeney say?
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Oh, Elua. *giggles a little* I think I confused him.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *smiles weakly* You did, huh?
stardustenigma: Alcuin: When he and I coupled, I asked him to pretend that he loved me. He pulled me close and said "who's fucken pretending?"
stardustenigma: Alcuin: So I asked him whether or not he lied, when he said that.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: And he said that he was drunk and horny and would have said anything to have his way with me. *soft amused smile with some sadness* He's not a very good liar.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbbit: *very quiet at this* ...oh.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: So, I, um, *blushes* told him I loved him, too.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *nods*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Then he cursed and stormed off. *plays with Jackrabbit's hair, tugging very gently on a couple of strands* I think he thought it would be easier, if I didn't know he loved me.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Because then I would have stopped trying and left the two of you alone.Whereas, *wry smile* if I'd known he loved me, I might come up here and try to talk you into a threesome, or something crazy like that.
stardustenigma: (If sex with two is coupling, is sex with three tripling?)
stardustenigma: (... nevermind.)
jackfingtwist: (ha, dunno)
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: and so, now you know.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: And here I am. *amused smile*
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: Here you are. *slight smile*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Will you help me?
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *pauses* How? Perhaps.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Convincing Sweeney.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit:...I don't know. Perhaps. I mean....if person says no, I will not press it. I cant.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *nods* I agree.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit:...perhaps then. I will see what Sweeney has to say.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: I think he'd like it. If he knew you wouldn't be strained by it. *soft smile*
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *nods* You want to talk to him alone?
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit:...Yes. I do....thank you...
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *kisses his cheek* You'd better hurry, if you want to find him before he's completely drunk himself senseless.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *chuckles a little* thats Mad Sweeney. Always inebriated.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: This might be worse than most. *feels guilty* I really confused him.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: *lifts Jackrabbit's chin to give him a real kiss* Go on. I'll be in the kitchen, I've got baking to do. You can bribe him with the rest of the cheesecake, if you like. *teasing smile*
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: *picks up the cheesecake* Alright. *returns the kiss, stands up* Will find you, when I've spoken to him.
stardustenigma: Alcuin: Thank you. *gets up as well, and hugs him* I love you.
jackfingtwist: Jackrabbit: And I love you.
