Apr 03 19:20:01 <Antichthon>	A knock on Callum's door. Cass still presented as feminine today - she'd been having a streak - but wore jeans instead of her usual favorite tights and skirt combo. She rolled her shoulders, put on her best Cassgrin, and waited for Callum to answer. She knew he was in there.
Apr 03 19:22:17 <Knave>	The door swings open, just barely framing the boy inside it. "Hey," He says hollowly. For whatever reason, he's not wearing a shirt. What Cass can see of the room inside is pathetically nondescript and bland - a framed picture on the desk, a baseball bat leaning in the corner, and a small, neat pile of dirty laundry. "Guess I don't have to ask how you got my room number?"
Apr 03 19:25:33 <Antichthon>	"Dude, to be fair, anyone can figure that shit out by just asking around about the hot superbody. ...meant 'superboy,' but that works too, because goddamn." Cass looked him up and down, grinned all the harder. "Out of the way, coming in." Her chair tried to squeeze past him, even if he didn't budge.
Apr 03 19:27:55 <Knave>	Callum stepped back, apparently unconcerned and shutting the door behind Cass. He leant on it, arms folded, "Please don't call me that." Then, in a lighter tone, "Sorry about the mess." (There is no mess.)
Apr 03 19:30:02 <Antichthon>	Cass rolled up the framed picture to check it out. "If I didn't know better I'd say you were being sarcastic about the mess. But nah, you're just that fucking clean, aren't you?" She turned to face him, bright and confident as Cass always was. "Gonna cut right to the chase. If I asked you out, just the two of us, what would you say?"
Apr 03 19:32:29 <Knave>	"Yes." Callum says, apparently without thinking about it. The picture is of a smiling, middle aged couple, the man sporting a short-cropped hair in a tone just grey of Callum's, and the woman looking out with Callum's gentle green eyes, "Hey, isn't that cheating? Asking how I'd answer instead of just asking?"
Apr 03 19:36:53 <Antichthon>	"Cheating's what I do, mate. I cheat like a boss." she did raise her eyebrows at the answer. "Honest, wasn't expecting that. I'll ask you again, later. Right now? Wanted to apologize. I had a lot of good fucking rationalizations for floating forward the threesome idea, but now that I've thought about it...it was just fucking selfish. I saw two people, both of whom I was interested as fuck in dating. Both of whom were interested in me. Problem? They were more interested in each other. I figured I'd either act and have both of them, or wait and have neither of them. So, yeah. It was fucking selfish."
Apr 03 19:41:39 <Knave>	"I don't think so." Callum says, pushing away from the door and standing up straight, "You wanted to date two people. You asked them both out in a mature and transparent way. Both of the other people were interested." He shuts his eyes, inclining his head down and keeping his tone very deliberately even, "The only reason it didn't work out is Yuki wanted things to play out a certain way."
Apr 03 19:49:13 <Antichthon>	"And that's fine. half of me expected that from her. Thought it was best to roll the dice, anyway." Cass met Callum's gaze again, and her own expression turned super serious. "Now, I'm going to ask you again, and I want you to think about this time. Because I'm fucked up. I'm seriously fucked up. I'm also genderfluid - Let me make a special point that that has absolutely //nothing// to do with being fucked up, because fuck anyone who thinks being queer and being fucked up have anything to do with one another - And you've yet to see me present as anything other than a girl. You take me up on this, I'm going to expect a closed relationship, and it's going to change things for both of us in regards to Yuki. So, I ask again: If I asked you out, what would you say?"
Apr 03 19:57:24 <Knave>	Callum sighs, lacing hands behind his neck, "I don't know." He rolls his head and raises his eyebrows, "I like you. I like Yuki. Technically, I'm straight, I think... I just... I want things to be simple."
Apr 03 19:59:38 <Antichthon>	"Think you mean you want things to be neat. Dating two people at once isn't simple, and you were on board with that. But I get you. Drama bullshit is best kept to a minimum. Let me ask you another question, then: Do you //want// me to ask you out?"
Apr 03 20:01:55 <Knave>	"I think so?" Callum realizes how this sounds, then crosses to the bed and sits down heavily, "We can be honest with each other, right?"
Apr 03 20:04:42 <Antichthon>	"Please, do. Yuki might think love is best approached through romance and touchy-feely bullshit, but I still maintain treating it like a business agreement is smarter." Cass had Hex lift her from the chair and deposit her beside Callum. Hex returned to the chair, which backed up neatly into a corner and out of the way. Cass slapped Callum's thigh, looked up at him. "What's up?"
Apr 03 20:13:04 <Knave>	"You excite me. A lot." He said frankly, looking down at her with an earnest expression, "You're interesting, and funny, and... you already know, probably." He looks away, continues speaking in the same, gentle tone, "And Yuki's the opposite, right? She's so innocent, and shy. And it's both good?" He laces his hands in front of him and looks back to Cass, "I don't really know what I'm saying."
Apr 03 20:19:34 <Antichthon>	A widening grin at that. "Yup, I do know that. Would also like to add I'm fun as fuck, and a completely demented sexual freak." Cass blew her blue bangs out of her face. "And you might not know what you're saying, but I do. You're saying it would be downright orgasmic to have us both. For all three of us to be in a relationship. I feel the same way. The gigantic, hard-as-fuck muscular boy who could kill me with one finger and the small, soft, innocent girl. ...who could also kill me with one finger. But, yeah That would be //awesome.// best of both worlds." she grimaced. "But it ain't happening. So I really do need you to make a decision. Go out with me now, or wait to see how things go with Yuki."
Apr 03 20:22:39 <Antichthon>	"Also, just wanted to point this out." Cass would take his hand if he let her, and put it on her own thigh. "Your wrist is literally thicker than my thigh." She grinned up at him. "How fucking //hot// is that?"
Apr 03 20:25:39 <Knave>	"Cass." Callum says, his voice slightly strangled. Redness is spreading from ear to ear and he's clearly out of his element but enjoying it. "Yes. That is hot. While we're being honest," He forces himself to look her in the eyes, with his earnest, innocent gaze, "I think I might be really into the idea of you being so much smaller and lighter than me that I could basically-" The blush looks like it might be painful, and he looks away, "Yeah." He hasn't withdrawn his hand, and now he gently squeezes, a little playful smile creeping onto his face, "I just... I don't want to hurt anyone."
Apr 03 20:32:46 <Antichthon>	Cass returned the look, with her anything-but-innocent gaze. "I'm leaving the decision to you. And don't make it now, that's unfair, when I'm here getting you all hot and bothered and Yuki isn't. But know that even if you choose to wait, we're still friends. as for now..." Cass' voice turned squeaky and weak. "I've turned off all my unessential implants. I've severed my connection with 	my chair, and Hex. It'll stay severed until I hit that flashing button on my chair. Which mean's I'm helpess." Cass grinned wider. "You could do anything to me. Anything at all. And I wouldn't be able to stop you. Couldn't even scream. Want to hear what my scream sounds like without my vocal modifier?" Cass screamed with all her might. It wasn't even as loud as an average person's speaking voice. "See? Completely. And utterly. Helpless." In his room.
Apr 03 20:36:17 <Knave>	The blush recedes to only Callum's ears, quite possibly because blood is draining elsewhere.
Apr 03 20:38:42 <Knave>	He hesitates just a little bit, but the decision's really been made for him. "Anything all." He repeats. He reaches out with his far arm to Cass's face, rounding his body to hers, brushing back hair and looping his fingers behind her ear, gently holding her head in place. He leans in (and down, not inconsiderably) to kiss her, his lips gentle and soft against hers.
Apr 03 20:46:38 <Antichthon>	Cass wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed up into the mountain of a man's kiss. Surprisingly, she was a novice at such things. But it was still a kiss. When she pulled away, she was grinning, as Casses did. "I just wanted to give you a tiny taste of how freaky I am. Believe me, it gets a hell of a lot deeper than that. For now, though. I want you to consider the question. And next Sunday, I want an answer. Wont accept any answer before then." She flopped onto her back. "Now. I want you to put me back in my chair, so I can leave. Not that I can make you do anything. I'm so weak, I can't even sit up on my own. So. Do what I want. Or turn me into your toy. Your personal cumdumpster. Its really all in your hands."
Apr 03 20:56:09 <Knave>	"Language." Callum says with a smirk, picking Cass up in a bridal carry and placing her gently back in her chair with a kiss to the forehead, "You know how hypocritical it is that you say you'll give me time to decide, but teasing me like that?"
Apr 03 21:00:41 <Antichthon>	Cass gave a rather disappointed sigh. "Going to do right by me, are you? Of course you are. You're a good man to your core, Callum." The way she it, it wasn't a compliment. Still grinning, though. "Might seem hypocritical to you. To me, its just letting you in on the scope of what you're considering." She headed for the door. A metal tentacle opened it, but she hesitated before going through. "Oh, and just so you know. Even if you choose to wait, and see how things go? Doesn't mean we can't get together. Sometime, somewhere. Future's a clusterfuck, after all."
Apr 03 21:06:22 <Knave>	"As you wish." Callum says, standing beside her with hands in pockets and evidently a little blissed out from proceedings, "Sunday."
Apr 03 21:08:25 <Antichthon>	Cass nodded. "Sunday. Hell of a lot can happen between now and then." She was out the door, and her chair closed it behind her.
