[ The noise is gross as the drink spurts out of Fabian like a broken pipe, and Gorgug grimaces as much for that as he does watching the blue liquid spit out everywhere. Grosssss, who's going to clean that up? Can they get a companion bot to clean it up??
No time to think about that now, even though Gorgug thinks to look away at the result of his quick thinking splattered across the floor. There's a sharp and loud Dude! sounding in his ears, and he looks back at Fabian, initially confused than even a trace of shame on his face.
And it's still confused, once Fabian gets to speak. ]
You didn't swallow! What was I supposed to do? You wanted me to kiss you! You were gonna get it in my mouth!
[ Behold, conversations that no one should overhear without context. ]
[ Maybe he wanted to get it into your mouth, Gorgug! Maybe that was the revenge for getting him to put this stuff into his mouth in the first place, especially when Fabian Aramais Seacaster is only used to eating the finest of things!
(.. well, the finest of things and a whole lot of fried rice that has been stored in a garage for pretty much an entire year, but we don't talk about that--)
Still, it's not like it's totally ruined now. No, the more Fabian listens to Gorgug, the more he realizes his revenge can still be ongoing.
Mostly in the form of Fabian being the first to cover the slight gap between the two of them. His hands latch onto Gorgug's shirt, mostly to try and keep him from pulling away once he realizes that maybe the kiss isn't just good. Because sure, it's a real kiss, and Fabian really is kissing Gorgug. But with the way that liquid was ejected from his mouth, Gorgug will find its awful taste all over Fabian's lips. And over Fabian's tongue, considering that thing is currently attempting to find its way into Gorgug's mouth to try and get the awful taste into his boyfriend's mouth as well.
Hey, at least it's not an infection they're passing around this time. ]
[ Have you ever had the most disgusting kiss in your life.
Unfortunately for Gorgug, he doesn't even realise what Fabian is trying to do to him. When he grabs onto his clothes, pulls them both closer together and crushes their mouths, he's too confused to think about it until lips are touching his, and-- no, it's the taste. It's the gross flavour that's sticky on Fabian's mouth and on his skin, and Gorgug tries to whine a no while there's a tongue trying to find entry, which just takes this further.
It's not hot. It's disgusting, the artificial flavouring that spreads inside his mouth for a kiss that should be pleasant, but isn't. He doesn't immediately push Fabian back out of a freezing deer response, but his hands finally come to grab at the sides around Fabian's neck, and he starts pushing his back, even if Fabian's working to keep them in.
But he can yank his head aside, turn his face so it's no longer in range for Fabian's cruelty!! ]
You suck! You fucking suck!!
[ It is the utmost whining coming out of Gorgug, while his fingers clench tighter against the fabric of Fabian's own (skin tight) shirt, his emotions wound up enough where he's both revolted, but also? There's a part of him that wants revenge. That doesn't want to let Fabian go, but his brain is conflicted and his critical thinking skills are still in psyduck mode.
So he's probably just going to be as big a baby as Fabian is, really. ]
You did this to us, Gorgug! You did this! You brought this here!
[ There's so much big baby energy going on around here. Fabian even looks like he's attempting to reach Gorgug's mouth again for a few moments, but even though Fabian is pretty flexible, there's no way he's going to win from Gorgug's strength. If Gorgug is holding him in the exact position where Fabian can't reach his face, then there's no way he's going to reach it.
So after a few moments of attempting it.. He does give up, moving back a little. Not a whole lot, since Gorgug is still holding onto him, but still far enough that it doesn't seem like he's trying to force more gross energy drink mouth on Gorgug. ]
Gods, that is absolutely the worst thing I have tasted in my entire life. [ And he has attempted to eat glass.
[ Gorgug succeeds (somewhat) in avoiding more of the drink, the taste, the onslaught that Fabian was sending his way. He's still grabbing onto Fabian's shirt, but his fingers start to ease onto their grip as the spike in Gorgug's emotions settle. Not without some thoughts swirling in his head willing to keep him high on that impulsive drive (I know another taste that'll get it out of your mouth), but he's managing to not let that get in the way.
Because he's not feeling so bold to go in the direction some part of his brain things he should. Has been thinking that's where Fabian wanted to go in the first place.
... he's still going to bring up a leg bent at the knee, resting his arm over it, as if creating a barricade between himself and Fabian. ]
That didn't mean you had to shove it down my throat. I was trying to be nice. You could've done anything else.
[ Is he pouting? A little. But more in that 'I can't believe my new boyfriend tried to do this to me?' way. ]
I would've kissed you. I was going to kiss you, you know.
[ Fabian, in the meantime, is very busy wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. To get the taste of the shitty drink off there, of course. It's not the taste of Gorgug's lips he minds - it's just that! Ugh, he bets he's going to be tasting it all day now, it's so pervasive..
Guess there's two boyfriends pouting now. Each for their own reasons. Each blaming each other.
.. though Fabian does say, after a second: ]
You could kiss me now, you know.
[ B-Baka!!
He's not even looking at Gorgug as he's saying it either. ]
[ Fabian is saying what he could be doing, and that is true. Except Gorgug's glancing at Fabian, the betrayal still fresh on his mouth and mind, and can he risk it? Does he dare? Even if there's no glint in his boyfriend's eye--he could be tricking Gorgug! He could be trying to get him to lower his guard!
... ]
...you're not gonna try anything?
[ Does he have more of that drink in his mouth? No.
...
...does that mean Gorgug believes that it's safe? Also no!!! ]
Really, Fabian is contemplating if he can just cut the chase and lean in to kiss Gorgug first - but considering the protests Gorgug is throwing over here, he kind of feels like that will actually get him even further away from the goal of kissing his boyfriend.
S-So he's.. he's patient! He's trying so damn hard to be patient! ]
...distrust. An uncertainty, looking at Fabian, the betrayal fresh on his memory, and also the spurting blue coming out from Fabian's mouth from before that (not a betrayal, a smart and sensible decision by Gorgug!!). No longer is sucking dicks on the mind as Gorgug tentatively bends his knee so he can start to lean on, going in the slowest manner for doing so. Moving towards Fabian, except, when he does...
[ Fabian looks like he is about one to two seconds away from screaming his lungs out. Especially when he knows whose fault it is that he smells like that drink! Mister Thistlespring over here with his "oh no, just taste it, what's the worst thing that could happen--"
Your boyfriend not wanting to kiss you! That is the worst thing that could happen! ]
Then just kiss me so I smell like you instead! [ He definitely sounds worked up. Fabian's hands even reach out to latch onto Gorgug's hoodie to pull him a little closer.
Kiss him, dude!!! KISS HIM!!! This is the world's most aggressive flirting as long as you don't count pretty much anything Zelda did! ]
[ Listen to the way a dog sighs, and you'll know the exact way Gorgug does after one last pause, before finally resigning to this fate of his. He leans in the rest of the way and gives Fabian the kiss he wants, settling it on his lips (ugh, he's pretty sure he can taste the spit drink on those lips!!!), and kinda not completely interested in deepening the kiss--unless Fabian pulls him in that way.
Then fiiine, fiiiine. They can have a proper make out, even if it's the most reluctant, unsexy kind of kissing session already ruined before it begins. He's not sure if this is working to make Fabian smell like him more than it's just making Gorgug hyper aware of every flavour he thinks he's getting a taste of, and he's sure that it's all bad.
Who knew kissing could taste so bad?? This is surely Fabian's fault. ]
[ For what it's worth, it does seem like he's longing to deepen the kiss. Despite his huffy attitude and all, Fabian seems to be giving this kiss all he's got. He's going for the full make out, apparently. Maybe he's hoping he can forget this terrible experience if he just gets that. Boyfriend-induced amnesia. Something like that.
But he isn't getting that. Especially when Fabian realizes so quickly that something is definitely up when he deepens the kiss and gets.. well, practically nothing from Gorgug. Just the bare minimum.
So Fabian just pulls back. Looking definitely not happy. Despite the fact that the liquid was already gone from his face, he wipes at said face with the back of his hand all over again.
It's not really to clean anything. It's to hide his embarrassment. And slight hurt. If there's anything that gets to Fabian Seacaster, it's feeling like he's being ignored or given the bare minimum. ]
You can just tell me if you want me to go, you know.
[ He is NOT on the verge of crying. His eyes are NOT looking a little watery. Absolutely not!! You're imagining it!! He's handling this in a mature and cool and manly way!! ]
[ The words don't come alone. Gorgug had his own pouting, un-enthused face going on from being overdramatic about the drink and everything surrounding it, but the moment that Fabian says what he does, it turns incredulous. Is this it? Now? So quickly? This possible relationship is already over, and just because of some drink (that he's being a baby over)?
There's something he should be able to say to this. Fabian's already probably got his own reply about him being a terrible boyfriend or a terrible kisser and he-- what? They only just started! This isn't how it goes! Fabian should be kicking him out of The Maximum! It's his dance studio! What's going on! ]
I-- I'll kiss you! I'll kiss you, okay!
[ He would be nervous about throwing himself back into a kiss, all things considered, but Fabian was begging for it a moment ago, wasn't he? Gorgug won't resist if Fabian pushes him off, but if there's anything to make him go go mode about this, it's the threat of being dumped. Both hands come to the sides of Fabian's face, and even his bent knee is lowered so he can scoot in closer to Fabian properly; giving him an extra height he doesn't need, but Gorgug's more than used to kissing people shorter than him. Slipping in tongue, being more receptive and attentive.
As if his life--or worse, his boyfriend status!--depends on it. ]
Did he mean what he just said as them breaking up? Absolutely not. Granted, maybe he should have known better, considering everything that went down between Gorgug and Zelda in sophomore year, but-- look, that's a long time ago now! And he's hurt, and of course he's going to be dramatic, and make threats to leave that might sound to other people like him threatening to break up.
But Fabian's mind definitely wasn't there. So even in all of his hurt might-maybe-cry glory, he actually looks surprised when Gorgug first speaks up to suggest that was Fabian's intent. Not that he has time to say anything about it, because a moment later Gorgug is already on him like a lion jumping its prey - if lions were to kiss prey rather than devour them, anyway.
And though he doesn't immediately reciprocate - he's too caught off guard, okay, he's frozen for a second, give him a moment - Fabian doesn't push Gorgug off him. He just lets the other kiss him, and then a few moments later Fabian even seems to join in, returning the kiss.
Though there's something more later. There's some sort of odd sound coming from Fabian in the middle of the kiss-- is he trying to say something? It's possible he might not be able to pull out of the kiss to do that properly while Gorgug is still so much on him and in the middle of the kiss.. ]
[ Gorgug isn't going to keep kissing a person who sounds like they have something to say. Granted, Gorgug can't tell what the sounds are initially--maybe they're moans, maybe Fabian's really getting into this; and by the time they start, Gorgug isn't being so intense about his need to kiss and prove himself to Fabian. He still is aiming on doing a good job, but if Fabian isn't pushing him off, that's a good thing, right? He's being a good boyfriend!
But those sounds are still-- happening, and when they continue, Gorgug does pull away. Cheeks a little darker, yet his eyes still the same as they had been before bringing Fabian into that kiss: searching, hoping, seeking approval. He's got a hand on the rim of Fabian's shirt, by his chest, and he looks so much like a puppy... ]
Is everything okay?
[ The kissing good? The kissing fine? Does he need to be doing something else? He's ready to please...!! ]
[ Under any other circumstances he might have felt real good about the sight in front of him, really. Isn't this everything Fabian wants? People being desperate to give him attention, to please him. To make him feel special. As much as his attraction to Gorgug started from a different realization entirely, Fabian still knows this is something he wants from other people, something that makes him feel good.
But in combination with what the other guy had said only a moment ago-- It doesn't feel so good. Fabian's eyes search the other's face for a second after Gorgug pulls away, and the desperate puppy look on there doesn't exactly make him feel great in the moment.
He lingers close to the other, but something in Fabian's gaze shifts, becomes more worried. It's a softer emotion than his usual loud ones - especially all the loud ones from a few moments ago. ]
Did you really think I wanted to break up just now? [ Even his tone of voice seems to match - less over the top. More genuinely concerned. ]
[ If anything, he was suspecting Fabian to say he wasn't in the mood anymore, that Gorgug ruined it, and then Gorgug would be left feeling bad from where he started. But instead he's met with--not the opposite, but the opposite in Gorgug's expectations, probably. A question that he isn't sure how to answer for a second, his gaze ducking away. ]
I-- maybe. [ There's a questioning tone that's kinda there, kinda too unsure if to be there. ] We're new enough into this, and I guess you could still-- change your mind? I wouldn't-- I mean, I wouldn't stop you...
[ His gaze hasn't turned back onto Fabian, sheepish, as Gorgug isn't sure if he should be so honest. Will Fabian be disappointed in him now? His lack of confidence, even though... Fabian can be a pretty picky guy. Who isn't to say he wouldn't dump Gorgug in a day? ]
Not that he can't see where Gorgug is coming from - especially when he doesn't radiate the kind of confidence about himself that Fabian shows off on the daily - but Fabian definitely didn't take any of this into account when he started getting huffy. He didn't imagine for even a moment that Gorgug could possibly feel this way!
So when the other says that, Fabian moves his hands onto Gorgug's face - something that's easy enough to do in their very close proximity - to turn the other's face back in his direction. He can't exactly turn the other's gaze that way, but he hopes the message is clear. That he wants Gorgug to look at him.
Because Fabian is giving him a very determined one-eyed gaze in return. ]
There is absolutely no way I am going to dump you over one shitty drink. [ He says it in such a dramatically determined way too. Like this is his way of trying to get this through Gorgug's head as much as possible. ] Do you really think I would be dating you if I thought so little of you? I chose you above all other people! Deliberately! You have to remember that!
[ The why is what Gorgug still can't get his head around.
He know he has a history of being down on himself, but it's not a negative view of himself that makes him question Fabian's interest in him. It's complicated, not that he isn't happy to give this a go, but-- maybe his expectations after dating Zelda have made him more grounded about romantic relationships. How easily they can drift, break apart.
He's not being a downer. Even with that small curiosity that might be shaped similar to doubt, Gorgug takes Fabian's words as close to heart. His head turned when Fabian moved it, and even after, he drops his gaze only for a second.
And in the second after, he gives Fabian a kiss on the lips. Soft, appreciative. ]
I do-- I will. [ Whichever one sounds... right... ] I wouldn't dump you over a shitty drink either. And-- I still think you look good. After spitting it out.
[ Look.
He remembered their discussion about compliments. It's a compliment, right? ]
[ Fabian stares at Gorgug after the other pulls away. The kiss seems to have taken away the huffiness in his expression, leaving behind something a little more blank - though that changes quickly, Fabian actually starting to smile a little when Gorgug says that last part.
He's definitely thinking the same thing here, after all. That Gorgug remembered the whole compliments thing, and like he's trying to use them here to make things better. Because he knows they make Fabian feel better.
At first he doesn't say anything. He just gets up from where he's sitting, moving over to where he dumped his bag when getting into the dance studio, and rummaging around in it for something. When he pulls something out, he returns back to Gorgug, dropping back down to sit next to the other again and holding it out to him.
It's a towel. Extra fluffy too, because Fabian's skin clearly can't endure anything that isn't fancy. ]
Here. If you want to get the drink off.
[ Most of it did end up all over the mirrored walls and floors of the dance studio, but they were both in the splash zone too..
And just like how Gorgug remembering the compliments is his way of trying to make it better, this is Fabian's own way of doing so. ]
[ Gorgug watches Fabian as he moves, wondering if he made a bad call with his compliment or not. But then he's coming back over with a towel, and Gorgug's more curious, even as the towel is offered.
He takes it without waiting for a response or anything, like he might know what to do with it before Fabian says anything, which-- oh. Should be obvious, right? He looks down at himself, the spaces where he did get splashed, but... ]
It's dried up on me. Unless we clean the floor. [ Which they could... unless they're going to ask a companion bot to help, which Fabian may or may not be into (would he use them even as cleaning service? it's hard to say). But he looks down at the towel again, and gets an idea as he looks back at Fabian. Unsure for a second, but: ]
I know a way we can get the drink off, [ he explains, his voice a little coy, his smile as small, but meaningful, too. ] In the showers.
[ At first he looks a little bit surprised when the other starts to suggest something else, but when the actual suggestion hits, Fabian rolls his eyes.
He doesn't look annoyed though. There's a weird fondness about it, maybe because he can't fully wipe the smile off his face at the same time as he's rolling his eye, dropping his arm from where it was holding out the towel before. ]
So that was on your mind.
[ Please, Fabian. You know how Gorgug is, pretty much everything he says has only entered his mind that very moment.. It's how Gorgug works..
But for all the teasing he's doing here, acting like he's so put-upon by it all, he's still smiling, even gesturing for the other to get up. ]
I suppose I could be amendable to the idea. Or maybe I just need a little more convincing, actually.
[ Considering where his mind was earlier, the current state of his mind is a little more innocent, if not completely, in this moment. ]
Well, [ he starts, while standing up because Fabian made the motion, and he's very easy to command, ] you're-- you were sweaty when I came in? And then we made the mess together, so I thought, a shower's good. There's nothing wrong with a shower.
[ ... ] And I don't have a change of clothes, but maybe you do?
[ He's leaving out a fairly important factor here, even if his mind is more innocent comparatively to where it was before.
No need to call him out about it though! It's cool!! ]
[ Oh gosh, the over explaining is starting again. It would threaten to kill Fabian's mood entirely here, were it not for where the over explaining is leading.
Right into something that makes him raise his eyebrows as he's staring at Gorgug. Kind of surprised, but also kind of looking like Fabian is realizing Gorgug is not thinking about some stuff here..
Like, for example-- ]
I thought you weren't ready to wear crop tops.
[ Because there's no way Fabian's shirts are going to cover your entire stomach, Gorgug. ]

He lingers close to the other, but something in Fabian's gaze shifts, becomes more worried. It's a softer emotion than his usual loud ones - especially all the loud ones from a few moments ago. ]
Did you really think I wanted to break up just now? [ Even his tone of voice seems to match - less over the top. More genuinely concerned. ]
no subject
I-- maybe. [ There's a questioning tone that's kinda there, kinda too unsure if to be there. ] We're new enough into this, and I guess you could still-- change your mind? I wouldn't-- I mean, I wouldn't stop you...
[ His gaze hasn't turned back onto Fabian, sheepish, as Gorgug isn't sure if he should be so honest. Will Fabian be disappointed in him now? His lack of confidence, even though... Fabian can be a pretty picky guy. Who isn't to say he wouldn't dump Gorgug in a day? ]
no subject
Not that he can't see where Gorgug is coming from - especially when he doesn't radiate the kind of confidence about himself that Fabian shows off on the daily - but Fabian definitely didn't take any of this into account when he started getting huffy. He didn't imagine for even a moment that Gorgug could possibly feel this way!
So when the other says that, Fabian moves his hands onto Gorgug's face - something that's easy enough to do in their very close proximity - to turn the other's face back in his direction. He can't exactly turn the other's gaze that way, but he hopes the message is clear. That he wants Gorgug to look at him.
Because Fabian is giving him a very determined one-eyed gaze in return. ]
There is absolutely no way I am going to dump you over one shitty drink. [ He says it in such a dramatically determined way too. Like this is his way of trying to get this through Gorgug's head as much as possible. ] Do you really think I would be dating you if I thought so little of you? I chose you above all other people! Deliberately! You have to remember that!
no subject
He know he has a history of being down on himself, but it's not a negative view of himself that makes him question Fabian's interest in him. It's complicated, not that he isn't happy to give this a go, but-- maybe his expectations after dating Zelda have made him more grounded about romantic relationships. How easily they can drift, break apart.
He's not being a downer. Even with that small curiosity that might be shaped similar to doubt, Gorgug takes Fabian's words as close to heart. His head turned when Fabian moved it, and even after, he drops his gaze only for a second.
And in the second after, he gives Fabian a kiss on the lips. Soft, appreciative. ]
I do-- I will. [ Whichever one sounds... right... ] I wouldn't dump you over a shitty drink either. And-- I still think you look good. After spitting it out.
[ Look.
He remembered their discussion about compliments. It's a compliment, right? ]
no subject
He's definitely thinking the same thing here, after all. That Gorgug remembered the whole compliments thing, and like he's trying to use them here to make things better. Because he knows they make Fabian feel better.
At first he doesn't say anything. He just gets up from where he's sitting, moving over to where he dumped his bag when getting into the dance studio, and rummaging around in it for something. When he pulls something out, he returns back to Gorgug, dropping back down to sit next to the other again and holding it out to him.
It's a towel. Extra fluffy too, because Fabian's skin clearly can't endure anything that isn't fancy. ]
Here. If you want to get the drink off.
[ Most of it did end up all over the mirrored walls and floors of the dance studio, but they were both in the splash zone too..
And just like how Gorgug remembering the compliments is his way of trying to make it better, this is Fabian's own way of doing so. ]
no subject
He takes it without waiting for a response or anything, like he might know what to do with it before Fabian says anything, which-- oh. Should be obvious, right? He looks down at himself, the spaces where he did get splashed, but... ]
It's dried up on me. Unless we clean the floor. [ Which they could... unless they're going to ask a companion bot to help, which Fabian may or may not be into (would he use them even as cleaning service? it's hard to say). But he looks down at the towel again, and gets an idea as he looks back at Fabian. Unsure for a second, but: ]
I know a way we can get the drink off, [ he explains, his voice a little coy, his smile as small, but meaningful, too. ] In the showers.
[ (W-wink wonk) ]
no subject
He doesn't look annoyed though. There's a weird fondness about it, maybe because he can't fully wipe the smile off his face at the same time as he's rolling his eye, dropping his arm from where it was holding out the towel before. ]
So that was on your mind.
[ Please, Fabian. You know how Gorgug is, pretty much everything he says has only entered his mind that very moment.. It's how Gorgug works..
But for all the teasing he's doing here, acting like he's so put-upon by it all, he's still smiling, even gesturing for the other to get up. ]
I suppose I could be amendable to the idea. Or maybe I just need a little more convincing, actually.
no subject
Well, [ he starts, while standing up because Fabian made the motion, and he's very easy to command, ] you're-- you were sweaty when I came in? And then we made the mess together, so I thought, a shower's good. There's nothing wrong with a shower.
[ ... ] And I don't have a change of clothes, but maybe you do?
[ He's leaving out a fairly important factor here, even if his mind is more innocent comparatively to where it was before.
No need to call him out about it though! It's cool!! ]
no subject
Right into something that makes him raise his eyebrows as he's staring at Gorgug. Kind of surprised, but also kind of looking like Fabian is realizing Gorgug is not thinking about some stuff here..
Like, for example-- ]
I thought you weren't ready to wear crop tops.
[ Because there's no way Fabian's shirts are going to cover your entire stomach, Gorgug. ]
no subject
I'm fine. I-- haven't been exercising like you? [ ... ] I can wait to get back to change.
[ But he'll pluck a piece of his hoodie between his fingers, figuring, ] But I can keep this off, if I shower.
[ If he doesn't wear his hoodie, that's like a completely different outfit, right?? That's how this works. ]
