Open post!

Just an open post for AUs and continuations of memes.

Possibly ... maybe ...

[The squawk Natsume lets out as he's yanked unceremoniously into the room -- which also looks like something out of stereotypical porn, is that the theme around here?? -- is not at all in keeping with the ferocious creature he'd been seconds before. Now he's stumbling over his own feet, blushing to his hairline and quickly shaking his head.]

I-I don't know, I just -- he was being awful, he is awful, a-and it's my fault he's here, and I know it's your job, but -- but you don't deserve to be treated like that. [This last sentence is addressed to his feet, ears bright red, hands nervously twisting together. He's trying to convince them both that it was just him being nice, having basic human compassion, but the truth is that he'd never felt that angry before. He'd wanted to kill his classmate for putting his hands on the omega.

On this specific omega. Natsume is a little bewildered about what that might mean, so he presses forward.
] A-Anyways, I can't imagine that a place that sells alcohol to minors -- or even lets them in -- is going to be too quick to call the cops.

[Then he frowns, looking bewildered at the last line of questioning.] Pheromones? Seducing? I -- no, o-of course not. I didn't even know we were coming here until less than am hour ago.

[Natsume grimaces at the mention of his "friends", crossing his arms tightly. He's more than a little nervous about the idea of getting in trouble, not least of all because his foster parents will almost certainly kick him out. He'd be playing right into the stereotype of an out of control young alpha, punching someone in the nose.

But then Kaito -- or whatever his name is, the false attitude is gone and it feels odd that the false name isn't -- calls himself a whore, tells Natsume to write him off. That he's not worth it. There's a long moment where Natsume just stares at the omega, his gaze intent, unflinching.

Then he abruptly sits down on the edge of the bed, arms still crossed.
] No. I'm not going anywhere. [It's stubborn, blunt, with a bit of that steely ferocity he'd shown earlier.] I get to choose who I spend my time with, and I choose you.

So...there.

I said what I said. [Yes, it makes him feel a little childish, but he lifts his chin and keeps his arms crossed, refusing to back down.

Except then there's a warm, soft body pressed to his back, arms around his neck, hands touching him, and there's a brief moment when Natsume almost surrenders to the hot rush of arousal that the touch of the omega prompts. It fills his head with filthy, daring thoughts, the kind he's barely even considered before.

And then he's twisting around, looking over his shoulder, eyes golden in the neon light. He's not smiling.
] Is that what you think of me? That I'm going to suddenly -- give into my base urges and use you? Like they wanted to?
natzoom: ([:|] lord give me strength)

[Natsume clears his throat to cover the strangled sound he makes hearing the omega talk so bluntly, so flatly about the things he can do. It's clearly rote, routine, matter-of-fact. It's a job.

And most alphas wouldn't care. They'd smell the scent of omega in heat and follow their instincts. It wouldn't matter who or what was taking their knot, as long as something was. That's been the kind of life Natsume has feared ever since presenting, but he's never been so...overwhelmingly tempted towards it.

He exhales slowly, turning around until he's facing Kaito -- or whoever. He sits cross-legged, hands in his lap.
] I'm not going to change your mind about all alphas, and I'm not going to try. But if you can be different from most omegas, I can be different too.

Besides, it's my time. I can choose what I want to do with it. [He glances towards the very high heels, arching an eyebrow.] Can you take those off? They look dangerous.

-- and no, I'm not into feet, before you ask.
natzoom: ([:o] oh shi--)

[personal profile] natzoom 2022-07-08 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
They look sharp enough to be a weapon. [Natsume retorts this huffily, though he seems to relax a bit once the shoes are gone.] Don't they hurt your feet, walking around and standing all day?

No, I didn't. Can you summarize it for me? [Then, after a pause:] And, ah. How long do I have? The others paid for everything.
natzoom: ([:o] sunshine boy)

[personal profile] natzoom 2022-07-08 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Another of those wheezing coughs and his ears turning bright red as Natsume politely averts his gaze.] They're not my buddies. And that's a lot for 70 minutes.

[Well, most people don't choose everything, Nat. He arches both eyebrows at this last part, though, his huffy persona slipping for a moment. There's something -- genuinely pained in his expression.] That's -- actually an option? Really?
natzoom: ([:|] little unsettling)

[personal profile] natzoom 2022-07-08 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Natsume just -- stares, incredulous and pained. When he moves, finally, it's to lean forward, voice steely, eyes narrowed.]

And what if I wanted you both? What if I did that and wanted to stay, with you, with our baby? What if I'm that kind of alpha?

[He swallows tightly, hands curled into fists.] I'll bet you wouldn't do that. That doesn't fit into the way you have to see the world. You'll let people do anything but care about you. That's too much.

Isn't it?
natzoom: ([>(] i'll kick my own ass)

[personal profile] natzoom 2022-07-08 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe that's what I want. [The tables have turned, and Natsume is rising onto his hands and knees, golden gaze intent, almost predatory. It's another thing that isn't normal for him -- he's polite to a fault, deferential, submissive. He lets people walk all over him. But here he is, having broken a guy's nose and now moving forward slowly, crawling up with sinuous, graceful movements, until he's right in the omega's face, inches away.] Maybe I don't care about being the first. Just the last.

[He lingers for a moment, reaches up slowly and tucks a loose strand of hair behind the omega's ear, very very gently. Then he sits back on his heels, chin lifted in trimph.] See? You aren't the only one who can control themselves.

Sixty minutes left. What's your real name?
natzoom: ([:)] waiting patiently)

[personal profile] natzoom 2022-07-08 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Junpei. [Natsume repeats it, and suddenly he's smiling, the first real smile he's given all night -- not forced, not just to be polite. Warm and genuine and bright.] Hi, Junpei.

[Then his expression goes somber again, a bit of that strained, pained look from before as he shakes his head.] No, that's -- I'm not trying to play out some heroic fantasy. This is real life. This is your life.

[He hesitates, then reaches out for one of Junpei's hands again, gently.] The only thing I want you to pretend, for the next -- [Natsume pauses, checks his watch, because yes, he wore a wristwatch to a nightclub.] -- fifty-five minutes is that I'm not trying to trick you or trap you or use you or manipulate you. That maybe, for the next fifty-five minutes, I'm being sincere.

[He laces their fingers together, offers a little smile.] Can you do that?
natzoom: ([:)] fake little smile)

[personal profile] natzoom 2022-07-08 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Natsume's always been on the sensitive side -- both emotionally and as far as senses go. He seems to be able to hear or smell things others can't, pick up on the most subtle changes in another's scent or demeanor. He can tell the second Junpei's caution drops, just slightly, when the wary mistrust turns to something softer. Something like hope.

The omega was beautiful before, but in a detached kind of way, like a glittering toy -- meant to be used and cast aside. The hopefulness makes him compelling in a different way, and Natsume's chest goes tight and painful. That's the first sign that he's already in way too deep.

He covers it with an easy smile, keeping their hands entwined.
] Okay. So. What's your first name?
natzoom: (pic#10354963)

[personal profile] natzoom 2022-07-08 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Takashi. That's -- my given name. Natsume is my family name. I suppose that was obvious.

[He follows Junpei's gaze, then leans forward, smiling, nose scrunched a little.] There we go, something we have in common.

Is it so strange to think I might actually just want to spend time with you? With your clothes on?
natzoom: ([:(] oh. okay.)

[personal profile] natzoom 2022-07-08 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Natsume listens quietly, looking down at their joined hands, running his thumb over Junpei's knuckles. He's too skinny. Now that he isn't constantly posing and preening, it's easy to see how exhausted he looks. The urge to take care of him is almost as strong as the mindless, base alpha urge to take what he's been insistently offering this entire time.

Somehow, Natsume manages to ignore both these urges. Be different. He just wants to be different, at least this once.
]

Then I suggest you enjoy the break. While it lasts. [He squeezes the omega's hand, tight.] What sort of movies?
natzoom: ([:|] p-p-poker face)

[personal profile] natzoom 2022-07-09 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Huh. Interesting. Movie theaters always end up putting me to sleep.

[Natsume knows it's temporary. That he's going to walk out in 35ish minutes and Junpei is going to forget all about him. He's going to go back to work and this will be nothing more than an odd, inexplicable memory.

But at least it'll be something. If it's all he's allowed to be, Natsume can live with being a memory.

How long have you worked here?
