[Eichi sinks into the hot water with a sigh, shivering a little as he manages to compose himself, though he coughs a few times as he folds his wings into the water.]

Is it out of your system now?

[fox... takes his time responding, his voice sounding raw and harsh]

Is what out of my system?

.....

[Is. Is Fox serious...? Eichi isn't really sure so it takes a moment before he responds.]

You know...

Me.

[blinks a few times]

...

No?

[Eichi smiles that smile where you're so mad you want to strangle a boy but you have to pretend you're fine.]

I felt like I was going to die, did that even help at all?!

Did I bite you?

[he was kind of distracted at the time, maybe he didn't notice]

I did not mean to. Even if I... kind of wanted to.

???????

[Wait is he]

I have a health condition you absolute buffoon! Are you serious?! Did you not know?!!!

[

]

I... no?

[How... Eichi can only imagine Shu was far too busy yelling his sins to talk about how he can just die like at any moment.]

I'm not secretive about it, I died after a game once because my heart gave out...???

[He's still a little baffled, and it dawns on him that he could have legitimately died from getting a blowjob because this fool wasn't aware he was literally capable of just dying over nothing. Eichi holds his head with a hand in that dawning horror.]

You... I... I could have really just died...

[panic mode: ENGAGED]

You--that is how you died?! From a heart condition???

[fox suddenly looks mortified]

Are you having palpitations now? Difficulty breathing?

[water sloshes as fox moves over to eichi and places a hand on his forehead, then clicks his tongue]

You're warm, but of course you are, there's no way to tell... you should not linger in here too long. If you feel faint, tell me straightaway.

[He slaps the hand away.]

Augh, enough! It's passed already. The humid air has chased it away.

[HUFFS.]

I have to be more careful in the future, but I'm fine now.

[sighs, but going to sit next to eichi so he can keep an eye on his CONDITION]

I had no idea... then again, I am not certain that would have stopped me from pleasuring you with my mouth, just somewhere not nearly so warm. Perhaps you should be lying down, next time.

[There's that "next time" again. Eichi doesn't know how to feel. He wants to protest, but he's already given in once, already said "next time" first. Should he keep doing it, though?

Will it help?]

Don't start being concerned about my health. I can't stand it. People always treat me like I'm porcelain, and I'm tired of it.

I'm already dead anyway, and I'm not planning on holding back anymore. I'd rather die 100 times than be trapped in a glass cage "for my own good".

[arches an eyebrow]

Then I can expect no complaints from now on?

I'll complain if I want to.

[Because he is a petulant child!!!]

[chuckles]

Is that how you thank someone for pleasuring you? How ungrateful.

Should I be thanking you for something you wanted to do?

[Eichi had been content to leave himself as he was. But honestly he's not even sure how he feels now. He wishes he were at home.]

Don't get carried away.

Get carried away with what? Enjoying sex with you?

[sighs]

If it is your health you are concerned with, I shall endeavor to be more careful in the future. I do not want for you to expire while we are entwined. There is no satisfaction in a death like that. And while I sincerely doubt you hated what I did to you, if you found it repulsive then just say so.

[Eichi pauses, thinking. It certainly isn't like he didn't enjoy it, so why is he so sour? That's something harder to pin down, even while he thinks about it.]

It's just...

I don't know if Tenn would be okay with it. I want to make my reparations to you, to do my service, and it isn't that it is unpleasant...

[Is this cheating? Should he do it? Should he ask Tenn? No, that's insane.]

[fox tilts his head]

Tenn? Is that your... paramour?

A paramour suggests he is somehow illicit. He is my b... boyfriend. The one I have.

[Wataru is his paramour, thank you.]

[look it was the first thing that came to mind, 'boyfriend' sounds too innocent for eichi]

You feel he would object to this? Hmm... I do not know this person, but I do not wish for others to become drawn into our arrangement unwillingly, or become aggrieved due to it.

[...]

While we have an understanding about exclusivity, I can still imagine Joker and Prim raising... not objections, perhaps, but worry over me. So... you may have a point.

I don't know, that's the problem.

[He leans back in the bath, looking up in thought.]

I don't want to hurt him... and of course there is the fact that he might worry if he did know.

... should it be kept a secret between the two of us? That's...

It doesn't feel good, does it? The idea of keeping it a secret.
