[Ah yes. Tenko. Yes. She would most definitely prove that it's possible to be a 100% heterosexual girl and also think girls are just cute sometimes.]

[Yeah. Definitely the one you want backing you up on this.]

Oh. It's just...some of the things you said back at school...like when you were talking about what a nice body Shirogane-san has...I just assumed...

[He assumed she was into both boys and girls. So...is the truth actually that she's just a pervert??]

U-uhm...never mind. Sorry?

[Is this something he needs to apologize for?]

Well, yeah, she did... Tsumiki-san has a nice body too, don't you think?

[Cheerfully! Does not see anything wrong with... hm. ...Hm.]

A-Anyway... What about you, Saihara-kun...?

[Do you... do you have friends to play with?]

Tsumiki-san is really nice, and it seems like she'll do anything you ask!

[And also she's a little too meek for her to be Shuichi's type, she's pretty sure? So. Safe.]

[...I probably shouldn't actually answer that, right?]

Eh? What about me? [Are you asking if he's into both boys and girls as well, or...ah. Okay, not that.] Oh um...well right now I don't have any friends I'd be comfortable doing something like that with but...I'm sure that will change by the time we run out of squares we can do together.

[Okay, well...no, he guesses he'd maybe be okay doing something with Kokichi. Not sex, but...you know. A handjob or something maybe? That would only be...slightly weird. As opposed to super weird and uncomfortable.]

[But he's not playing anymore, so that's not an option.]

[And while Tsumiki seems plenty nice and he considers her a friend...it would just be too weird, given the circumstances. He needs a little more time to get used to her still.]

Because even if we do decide that it's okay to play with friends, it's not like we have to do so immediately. There are still plenty of squares we can do together.

I just...felt like we should discuss the possibility before we actually reached that point. Especially since...now we know that we may not always have a say in who we play with. No matter how careful we are from here on, there's always the possibility that something like what happened with those memory ornaments will happen again...

Yeah.

[She exhales a quiet sigh of relief, squeezing his hand again. Let's just... move away from the topic of getting aroused around other people, shall we? She doesn't like thinking about him with other people, and now she has more questions about herself, which isn't what she was expecting out of this conversation, frankly.]

You're right. I... hope it doesn't happen again, but... I'll still want to be with you, no matter what happens.

[That's not going to change any time soon. She leans in and presses a quick kiss to his lips, though she's not sure who's she's reassuring with that kiss, really.]

So... as for the squares we can do together... [Still embarrassing to talk about, but slightly more fun.] Do you think they'll give us a prize if we get an actual bingo?

[He squeezes her hand back, returning the kiss as best he can in the short amount of time lip contact he's given.]

[Everything will be fine. He's thrown the possibility out there, and now they have time to mull it over and give the situation more thought. Ways to change their approach without changing it too much.]

Well, we're both only three squares away from relatively simple bingos... [Altered state of consciousness, blindfolds, and rubbing/grinding in his case and food, writing, and oral in hers.] so we can give it a try and see what happens? It would make sense if there was some kind of bonus for a bingos other than a blackout.

[A beat.]

Erm...unless whatever...square you completed with Oma-kun actually put you even closer to one?

[He still has...no idea what you guys actually did as far as squares go. Just that you both completed one.]

[Oral is the only easy one she can think of how do to offhand... she just has to build up the courage to actually, like, do it. The other two are a little weird, but maybe she can look stuff up about it?]

--Um...! N-no, I don't think so...

[Ah. Of course he'd ask about that. There's no reason not to tell him, not when he's already more than familiar enough with her card. And it's not like she could keep it a secret from him even if she wanted to.

She toggles her earring to display her card, biting her lip in uncertain embarrassment. Enjoy looking at that completed "Negotiation" square, Shuichi.]

It didn't help with a bingo at all, huh...

Ah...

[Okay, honestly he was expecting something simple that they could have accidentally filled. Like hair pulling or hands/fingers or costumes. Negotiation was not one he would have guessed. But, then again...with those two...]

[Yeah, he really shouldn't be surprised, should he? He's kind of curious but, also, he doesn't really want to know the details. So...moving on.]

It...didn't, no. Actually, all of yours have been pretty scattered...

[He brings up his own card. He only has three squares filled, but they're all pretty close together. He actually has two bingos started, though it's probably obvious why he didn't mention the vertical one as a possibility for them to attempt first. Water may be simple enough, but voyeurism and flexibility...? Not so much.]

[Honestly, he's pretty sure flexibility is one of the ones he'll have to find a friend for. Unless Kaede has a surprise she hasn't shared with him yet.]

But that's okay. Even if it didn't help, you still have the start of one right here. [He points to the middle row on her square.] And there's nothing really dangerous about food, writing, or um...oral.

[His cheeks flush faintly pink. Maybe they can...do the other two first. Save oral for last.]

And any one of those could be combined with blindfolds, rubbing, or altered state of consciousness, don't you think? Or even a completely different square, if we just wanted to do what would be fun instead of knocking out both of our started bingos as fast as possible.

[...is it weird that it's actually kind of fun to strategize like this? That's probably weird, right?]

[It's a little weird, yes. But thanks for not asking for the details of negotiation, because honestly, she isn't sure if she can put it into words herself. She can't help but pout a little, because yeah, of course hers are going to be kind of scattered... she hasn't been trying to get a bingo, or even thinking about what squares make sense to do together. Just if it happens, it happens.]

Altered state of consciousness...

[She frowns thoughtfully, latching onto that rather than start getting flustered about oral. Strategizing with him could be fun, too!]

What do you have to do for that? Like, something in the VR? Since it has to be different from my, um, drugs and alcohol square, doesn't it...?

Mmm...not necessarily. I don't think every square has to be completely and concretely different from another. There seems to be room for overlap.

[He shifts to face Kaede a little better before continuing with his explanation.]

For example...something like gore would probably be considered edgeplay, right? And those are both squares, Oma-kun even has both on the same card. I think altered state of consciousness and drugs and alcohol are a similar sort of situation. Being drunk is technically an altered state of consciousness, but so is being really sleepy or hypnotized. That dream we shared probably qualifies as well, since our perception was so warped that we may as well have been different people. [A beat.] Actually...there may be a way to know that for sure. Oma-kun has altered state of consciousness as well...

[He taps his lower lip thoughtfully. He'll have to ask Kokichi about that later, just to see if he's understanding this square correctly. Since there's not a handy list of examples or anything.]

So we could do something in the VR if we wanted to, but it shouldn't be a necessity.

Hmm... Iruma-san would probably know better than any of us.

[She hums. It's times like this where she kind of misses Miu? Maybe not everything Miu's ever said or done, but. You know.

Kaede absently runs her thumb over Shuichi's hand as he faces her, just a kind of idle movement while she thinks about it. Right, if they just think about all this stuff logically, there's no need to be embarrassed!!]

Rubbing is really easy at least.

[--Except if it's teasing Shuichi, it's fine to be a little embarrassing.]

[Yes, thinking about all this logically makes it so much easier. It's the reason why Shuichi has managed to explain as much as he has without stuttering or blushing. It's also probably why strategizing is fun for him. He's not really thinking about the actual actions that go along with each square. He's simply rotating pieces to fit them together. They're just words on a projection that only vaguely mean something embarrassing.]

[Then Kaede had to go and shatter the illusion by teasing him. His cheeks flush and he stares down at their joined hands]

M-mm...yeah. That one...is pretty straightforward.

[Thanks, Kaede, now he's actually thinking about what the words on those squares actually mean again.]

[She giggles at him. She can't help it? He's just. so cute. At least she leans in and gives him a kiss for his trouble. Even as she's giggling at him.]

So which ones of ours can we pair together pretty easily? Most of them seem like they could go with multiple ones, right? Like, um... blindfolds and writing. I could write you a secret message, and you could try to figure it out!

[That sounds like the kind of nerdy thing you'd like, right, Shuichi?]

Erm...how exactly would that be arousing?

[Kaede, you're forgetting the key requirement here. Somebody has to be turned on for it to count.]

You don't think a puzzle would be sexy if I wrote it on you?

[Huh.]

Oh! What if I used my tongue?

[Temporary AND it uses her mouth. That would make it an even trickier puzzle.]

.....

[Apparently, no, he doesn't really think a puzzle would be sexy if she wrote it on him. Not that he ever actually gets a chance to voice this, because before he can think of how to put it, she mentions her tongue.]

[And that...yeah, that might actually be arousing.]

Mmnn... [He's still not so sure about the puzzle part because he might focus too much on that and...not actually be aroused. He can all too easily see that happening. But she is kind of on the right track...blindfolds and writing would go well together, if it you're writing on bare skin.] Oh! Wait, didn't that gift basket they gave you to compensate for the tree glitches have chocolate body paint in it?

[You didn't just...eat that, did you?]

If we used that, then maybe it would mark food off in addition to writing and blindfolds.

[It won't. But. You know, in theory, it satisfies the requirements of all three. If they were on their second cards, it would work.]

Edited 2018-01-28 16:16 (UTC)

Oh! Maybe!

[She didn't eat everything in the basket, gosh. Just some of it.]

I could compose a symphony in chocolate!!

[Wait. Then she'd just want to play it and not eat it. Also it would probably take too long to compose a whole song. Hmm... maybe not a good idea.]

Unless... you wanted to write on me? It doesn't matter who does it, as long as one of us gets, um, aroused, right?

Um...that's something I haven't been able to figure out yet, since...virginity and rough sex were the same square for both of us and we were...obviously both aroused.

[So it was impossible to tell, really, what the exact conditions were. Does it have to be the person who has that square? Or will it count if only one of them is? He doesn't know.]

But the first time... [His cheeks darken and, once again, he has trouble meeting Kaede's eye.] were you...?

[Aroused? He honestly had no way of telling. He knows he was, for sure. But if she wasn't then clearly the answer is "only one person has to be aroused for it to count for both participants".]

You couldn't tell...?

[She thought it was obvious, but... maybe not. That's kind of a relief, really, even as her free hand comes up to brush against his cheek, trying to catch his attention again.]

U-umm... yeah. I was.

[Crap, now she's flushing. Maybe he had the right idea, looking away?]

I guess it can be hard to tell with girls, even for a detective, huh...?

[No obvious boners to get in the way.]

[He shakes his head, still keeping his eyes fixed on their hands. Nope. he couldn't tell. He was still a completely clueless virgin at that point, he wasn't exactly sure what to look for. He could tell she was enjoying it, yes, but...not if she was enjoying it.]

Y-yeah, kinda. [He's a little easier to tell now that he knows what signs to look for beyond "girls get wet down there". But he still can't always tell immediately. Girls a tricky. Much easier for them to hide or even fake arousal, compared to boys.] Well...then I'm still not completely sure what the conditions are.

[He knows that Kokichi didn't enjoy having his guro square filled, but that doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't physically aroused while it happened. The other guy WAS fucking him while also chopping his limbs off, so... Eugh, no he doesn't want to think about that. That's still so messed up. He shakes his head a little, as if to clear it and looks back up.]

But, um...the whole point of body paint is to eventually lick it off, so...if you want to write on me, that's fine.

[Since he knows you like sweets more than he does.]

Dunno.

[She hums, but, well, anything they'd do together hopefully gets both of them aroused, so... it shouldn't come up, she's pretty sure?]

Alright! I'll have to think about what to write... Oh, but we don't have to do that right now. And, um...

[While they're on the subject of trying to do multiple squares at once,]

We could... probably do the, um, the oral square too. If you wanted.

[She'd be licking him anyway so like?? It's fine.]

U-uhm... guess we could...try and knock out four at once.

[You'd think a guy would be super excited and jump right on that offer to have his dick sucked. Shuichi, on the other hand, looks uncertain.]

But...if that's the case, then I...wanttobetheonewriting.

[The words come out in an embarrassed rush. Small victory though, he manages to keep himself from trailing off into a mumble this time. Maybe the next time he tries to tell her what he likes, he'll be able to speak 100% clearly. Third time's the charm, right?]

Eh?

[She did kind of think a guy would be excited about that, even as embarrassing as it is. That's just what guys are like, isn't it...? But then he looks uncertain, and she opens her mouth to tell him she was just joking and not to worry about it.

She closes her mouth without saying anything at all at his rush of words, though, eyes going wide as a flush slowly suffuses her cheeks. He wants to... oh. Oh. She kind of wants to press both hands to her cheeks, but she only has one free hand, so one hand to her cheek it is. Kind of a silly-looking effect, but. So it goes.]

Oh... really?

[She doesn't sound doubtful, just surprised and a little embarrassed. She didn't know that was something he'd want to do...?]

I-I mean... we could always split it up and do that on its own, too. Um... if you wanted. I mean, obviously I wouldn't mind, but--

[She's rambling, jeez.]

I-I just mean, we don't have to do it at the same time as writing! If you wanted to, um, do that...

[It really does look silly. Like she's a southern belle with a case of the vapors or something. Oh my stars.]

[He nods mutely. Yes, really. He hasn't just been reading novels when he holes himself up in the library for hours at a time. Plenty of that time has been devoted to research, as well. And, to him, the idea of going down on Kaede is more appealing (and less embarrassing) than having her suck him off.]

[Not that he'd say no to that, if she really wanted to. Of course he'd enjoy that too, but... In a situation like this, where things are a little less mutual...where one is giving and the other receiving...he'd rather be the former.]

L-later, then. I do think it's a good idea to try and do at least two at a time, but...I don't think we should...force it either. You know what I mean? [Do squares that go together, sure, but don't add stuff on just for the sake of adding it on.] It's not a race, even if we have to play more seriously to support Oma-kun. We can still do things at our own pace.

Y-yeah... you're right.

[Hey, boyfriend? You're getting another kiss. Just because. She holds it for a few seconds, dropping her hand from her cheek to hold his other hand. Because he's cute and she loves him.]

So... is there anything else you, um, wanted to talk about trying? Whether it's on the card or not, I mean... stuff you wanted to do together, even if it's not right now.
