[See, this is exactly the reason he enjoys Lucien's company. He could have the most crippling thoughts in the world, and Lucien can somehow confidently say, like, two sentences, and suddenly he's alright. He's still nervous, but he's... reassured? He just knows Lucien is so bold with dislikes, Lucien would probably say it. And, you know, not be kissing on him all the time.
He tries to keep most of the grin off his face.]
Oh, I know very well it'll feel good.
[Wait. He pauses, and then his chin drops a little as his face gets red again. Maybe he can, like, not talk.]
Um-- You, too. [...] You're very attractive.
[Lucien maybe does not need to be told this at all, but it was more the politeness of mutual exchange. Anyway, he gives up on not being a monsterfucker.]
[ no? he should keep talking? lucien doesn't try and hide his grin at all, starting to shift over to him again. leaning in to kiss him on the jaw, down the side of his neck. ]
Oh, I know very well I am.
[ don't just say that. anyway i feel like, scientifically, on the scale of monster fucking that I don't think a tiefing is that high. it's a guy with horns, most of the parts are the same and he's got a fun tail but you know. in general pretty human-adjacent. like a 3 max on a 1-10 rating. ]
[you trying to make a good case and me just handing him monster fucker
Great, enlarging Lucien's big head!! He slips an arm around Lucien's shoulders, tipping his head over to make room with a quiet hum. Slowly, he lies back, taking Lucien with him. Don't crush the air out of him, he'll deflate like a whoopee cushion.]
...Be careful, okay?
[He doesn't have to tell Lucien. Just broaching the subject. Can't help but to be nervous your stupid ass broken body might fail embarrassingly on you in the middle of good sex.]
The, um... [An almost ashamed pause.] The screws... are a little broken, so... they've been a bit irritated. I'll tell you if anything hurts.
[Also, Lucien will find, because of this, Viktor is not wearing the chest brace he's usually in. all that's left is the mild indentions of where the leather and bolts rested against his skin. The upside? Lucien can find all of the cute moles on his body that match the ones on his face.]
I'll be careful. If it hurts, you'll tell me and we'll take a break. Translate that stupid book or something for a bit, yeah?
[ he for once sounds genuine, believe it or not, because y'know. he means it. he follows easily - supporting his own weight because he also has no desire to instantly squish his sweet little con 1 boyfriend and send him back to the grave and have to make the most humiliating public text post of his life.
in all seriousness, he does make a bit of a face of the reminder of the broken brace, and also maybe makes a note in his own head to hound him about getting that repaired. but he nods at the warning - before leaning in to kiss him on the forehead. understood.
HIS CUTE MOLES. if they're going on body treasure hunts, then the main differences in Lucien are the lightning scar remains - apparently he has decided to keep this because maybe it just looks kind of sick - and the false eye. ]
[Boy Lucien is going to really be noting him later then if he spots that the skin around the bottom one is a little angry. IT'S FINE. It isn't the screw so much as the brace jostling around on it when chipped, and that is why the brace is gone for now.
It isn't as if he wouldn't have taken it off for this anyway!!!
ALSO DON'T JUST KEEP THE LIGHTNING SCARS? He can't stand this man. Mental note to hound Lucien later for keeping the scars. Anyway, kiss him for real, idiot.]
[ IT LOOKS! COOL! and he gets to lord it over viktor for approximately forever, so it serves a useful purpose.
he will, in fact, kiss him for real then. bringing a hand up to cup his jaw, the claw on his thumb pressing into the skin to remind him he can absolutely give back as good as he gets if he gets bitten right now when he's been so nice about this. ]
Sadly for Lucien, Viktor does bite him. But wonderfully for Lucien, the bite is more of a sexy kind of nip on the bottom lip rather than a spiteful gnash on the mouth.
Look. He's exploring a bit in the right body. Was gonna say Lucien maybe finds out he's a bit of an M but I guess he would've found that out alREADY. He will accept the claw as punishment.]
[ m for monsterfucker, got it. absolutely, yeah, he knew that one already. lucien really is patient for once, because he's enjoying the feeling that they have more than a rushed hour in false bodies to do whatever they want. at least, until Thursday, when their fates become much more ambiguous again. he will be leaving marks this time because he has a point to make.
i will .......... press fast forward on the tape. don't look mods. stop reading. either way afterwards lucien is massive cuddler because he is secretly as soft as a cashmere blanket which has maybe been shrunk in the wash by accident once or twice. i guess maybe let me know if viktor survives the incident or if sex outright kills him and lucien has to post to the network he's dead again. ]
imagine i had to say that all my threads were gonna be retconned because lucien killed viktor on monday by banging his brains out!!!! but no, he's still here, probably just looking like he got beat up. hope i don't have to strip on saturday otherwise i'm gonna have to ask you about sinjuries.
lucien being a massive cuddler is so funny also, but viktor doesn't mind, he will cuddle as someone starved for it :')]
[ sorry he has to go back to the graveyard now, but at least he has no argument on whether or not he’s a virgin anymore because who knows if VR counts or not. also frankly it’d be a hilarious prank to pull to come back to life and then immediately turn around and murder so I hope that is the case, he’d deserve it as a treat. ]
[ he’s complaining but also takes a second to kiss him on top of the head because he’s kind of adorable right now. ]
I don’t care if they’re bad for me. [ HE SHOULD CARE ] I saw a list of … supposed crimes I’ve had on my so-called file. It accused me of smoking out of designated areas and “inciting a riot” at Applebee’s. I don’t like them thinking they have my fecking number. And it was the rest of you who started the riot.
[Oh my GOD. This is the most stupid and Lucien thing in the entire world. There are really only two ways Lucien can be on the bed, so back it is, which means Viktor laughs sleepily on top of his chest.]
Was it really when you called a horde of rats to jump on Vash? [Idly plays with the very ends of Lucien's hair he can reach.] ...
[ the list of crimes also mentioned evidence theft and the impromptu heart dissection so viktor isn’t get away clean here.
but yes he’s content to serve as a body pillow that’s fine, snorting a bit of a laugh in turn. viktor comes back to life and immediately starts having sex and doing hard drugs (tobacco they are boring tobacco cigarettes) ]
Alright. You’ll have to move though and you seem rather comfortable.
[UMMM, LOOK. Listen here. He got (redacted) for that already, he doesn't need it on his criminal record, thanks.
Surprisingly, he gives a kind of small, petulant grumble and turns his face down into Lucien. Yes, he's comfy, and he doesn't want to move really. Reluctantly, he untangles and shifts to the space right beside Lucien, remaining directly face down in the bed with his arms beneath him.]
[ there he goes. lucien just laughs again at all the drama that took, sitting up and looking over at him. he’s face down so lucien can’t get embarrassed by how fond he looks. there is something to be said for getting a brief moment to relax and be normal people for ten minutes.
and them promptly slapping him (hard) on the ass as he stands to get get the cigarettes and matches out of his coat. ]
The way he yelps sharply, startled. It STINGS. He glares at Lucien's retreating form, reaching back to rub the fried skin. His head drops down onto the bed, though he's still mildly glowering.]
Rude.
[Yanking the covers up almost entirely over his head and down around him protectively.]
[ lmao. bye, loser. striking the match and lighting up his cigarette, rudely grinning at this little act too. metatexting about your (dead) ex too much is rude but viktor is a very different sort of person and that’s kind of a nice thing. he won’t argue that either of them are without an insane amount of baggage but it’s hard to summon up a reason to feel guilty over someone new when its like this.
lucien comes back over to sit down again, patting (more gently) on the ass-vicinity of the blanket lump. ]
You're going to burn a hole in the sheets with that.
[He says this, but he shifts and crawls up, tucking himself against Lucien's side and resting his head on Lucien's shoulder. The sheet comes up over them both a little too.]

curling up against him tighter, lazy and drowsy himself, tail thumping the bed. ]

no subject
he leans back, toying with the cigarette in one hand - raising an eyebrow and looking down at him cocooned up. ]
Either get back out here or let me under there.

Not the worst room I've stayed in.
no subject
[He takes the cigarette and leans his head up slightly. A pause. He knows how this is going to go, he thinks.
He takes a small drag, and it goes exactly like he thought, yeah: he starts coughing quietly after getting strangled by the smoke, eyes watering.]
