[ he won't torture him over the shyness, he gets the question. ]
In case we die horribly? Aye, yeah.
[ he'll say that bit though. reaching over to beep the door open with his IRIS, gently walking him back into the room. see? plenty of privacy on the ship. ]
Mortal danger is pretty classic as far as reasons go, if you need one.
[WELL, he makes an expression that's stuck between being like DON'T SAY IT and THANK GOD YOU SAID IT. Yes. In case they die horribly. Which has a high likelihood of occurring actually, more than he enjoys.
He keeps his hands on Lucien's neck for balance while he backtracks inside. There is so much privacy here.]
People really just... [Wait, he's people.] I... That's fair.
[ he's people!!!!!! lucien is sort of laughing a little bit - gently. he is not actually trying to make fun of him he knows a lot of this is sort of new to viktor. continuing to walk him back towards the bed, hands going to his waist instead. ]
A little romantic, I think.
[ he obviously feels similarly. leaning in to kiss him again, less frantic this time. ]
[He does not mind the laugh because he knows Lucien is teasing him, and also he loves Lucien, so there's some perks to teases. People really do be out here sometimes banging before a cataclysmic event.]
Your idea of romance... is... a little... questionable...
[He does not want to stop kissing Lucien yet, so when they get to the bed, he stands there for a long moment doing that. When he eases away, he remembers the outfit, so he plucks it gently.]
[ people really do be out here banging before cataclysms, and lucien is not immune to the effect of imminent danger, clearly. look if he's going to die, he would also like to have a nice night with someone he loves. he's enjoying the feeling of being viktor's center of attention right now anyway, becuase of course he is.
undoing more of the buttons on his very nice, cozy sweater, claws snagging at threads occasionally. ]
[This shuts him up for a minute actually because he is embarrassed by the call out.
He helps untangle the claws here and there like you do a cat when they get stuck in the blanket or the curtain. Then he shrugs it off his shoulders to the floor.]
It does look good...
[He is so white bread about his own clothes (clearly) that there is just SOMETHING about the out there ones on Lucien that does it for him.]
[ viktor's look works for him, he is pulling it off. everyone just wants to see him comfortable and it's giving cute professor, alright? it's a vibe. as for lucien's eclectic choices, molly got his taste from somewhere in his brain, lucien likes all the same ostentatious cuts and styles. he just pretends he doesn't like colorful things as much.
going to toy with the chain of the amulet for a moment before pushing him back down onto the bed to sit, tail swaying like he's going to get into trouble. he doesn't follow quite yet, tilting his head at him and just observing for a moment. ]
[He doesn't say anything while watching Lucien fiddle with the amulet, though he does seem pretty content in the moment.
With no resistance, he sits down on the bed, but he had expected Lucien to practically jump on top of him, so he glances up owlishly when that doesn't happen. His face flushed somewhat, sitting without a shirt beneath Lucien's gaze. But slowly, he smiles shyly a little.]
I know.
[Lucien, he thinks, probably shows it a lot more than he does actually? (This is delusional about himself.)]
[ that really is delusion because they have the same love language and its being insane
that's good though. as long as he knows before they both die horribly tomorrow. if they stick together they can die horribly, together? ]
Well. Good.
[ he gets slightly flustered as if he didn't fucking expect it, even though obviously viktor was gonna say it back. dorkass. but no he doesn't jump on top of him because a) that would kill him instantly and b) that was not his plan. instead he's getting to his knees because that is the best way to discuss rocks. In geology, rock (or stone) is any naturally occurring solid mass or aggregate of minerals or mineraloid matter. It is categorized by the minerals included, its chemical composition, and the way in which it is formed. Rocks form the Earth's outer solid layer, the crust, and most of its interior, except for the liquid outer core and pockets of magma in the asthenosphere. The study of rocks involves multiple subdisciplines of geology, including petrology and mineralogy. It may be limited to rocks found on Earth, or it may include planetary geology that studies the rocks of other celestial objects. ]
[He really didn't expect to catch Lucien off guard with it this time, and he thinks it's real cute when it happens.
He feels less embarrassed now that Lucien's confident rizz has faltered briefly.
Also, he is an Academy boy even if he hasn't been with the Academy in about six years, and he is now a grown man. Gotta say, this is one of the most eye-opening lectures he has ever heard about rocks. Like, the knowledge Lucien has about geology is blowing his mind entirely. A cosmic experience.
Maybe Viktor just hasn't really taken a whole lot of lectures about rocks, but he is slowly signing up for more classes.]
[ yeah you can't fluster lucien with dirty talk in any way, but he is definitely weak to sincerity and feelings. it is pretty easy to put him on the back foot with a well-timed emotion, his confidence is always a little Put On in a way that makes it fun to break sometimes.
lucien is self-taught but he's spent a good while studying geology and has a lot of interesting studies including a whole one on the fluvial and aeolian processes of extraterrestrial geological structures, but you gotta start somewhere. but you know they might die tomorrow so he's got to get grades in before the semester is up, so viktor can consider it a practical exam on everything he's learnt in the past two weeks. ]
