I have given this much thought. I don't like it, but he's been torn from us twice already...even if he does return with his memories once again, it'll be painful.

Will you be alright with that?

[policedefective]

It's quite understandable. There also runs the risk that he will return without them as well.

I am. Remember; I was thinking about it the first time.

[lempereur]

Things have changed quite a bit since the first time.

[policedefective]

More people have caught your eye?

[lempereur]

[ Well, yes. Ren's absence has allowed his mind to wander. While he's far from over it, there are others who have opened him to the idea of getting over it. But that's not what he means. ]

Things have changed between us, I mean. I don't want you to think that my feelings have changed because we've been forced to separate.

[policedefective]

[Ahhh. That thing. Okay then.]

Well, considering I am not even sure if I'd want to meet my quota with whatever Dominant I end up with, I am thankful.

[That's Akechi's way of saying thank you.]

And of course should you have issues or if they become a problem...

[lempereur]

Would you be unhappy if I did? I don't know if I could accept a Dominant I am not compatible with. Especially not if I share their bed.

If my next Dominant gives me any trouble, you will be the first to know. Or anyone else, for that matter.

[ Akechi's protective streak is kind of sweet...and kind of scary...and kind of sexy... ]

[policedefective]

I do me, you do you. If that makes you more comfortable, so be it.

Good. I always worry about getting rusty ;)

[He is many terrible things.]

Do you have anyone in mind? Now my curiosity is piqued.

[lempereur]

I'll still be around for you. nothing will change that.

[ He was expecting jealousy from him...maybe Akechi is growing. It's a good thing. ]

I have a couple of prospects. Both very sweet men around our age.

Have you met Wataru? He's another friend of Diva's, but he already has a Submissive, so I may ask Caleb instead. He's agreeable, handsome, and kind. And an empath, so you'll need to behave around him.

[policedefective]

Don't say it like that...

[Oh no don't worry Yusuke, Akechi will be plenty jealous. He just will use that to 'lightly threaten' any Dom who ends up with him to make sure they understand they can't mess up :)]

Ahh some sort of supernatrual empath power? Or just really the bleeding type of a heart like Ren?

[lempereur]

Like what?

Yes, I mean it literally, a supernatural power. He says he doesn't have proper control over it yet.

[policedefective]

Tch. I'm still not good with that type of talk.

[A deep part of him doesn't think he deserves it, and he knows that. It may take years for that to disappear.]

Noted. So he reflects how others around him are feeling? That seems rather...problematic. Is it a new power if he doesn't have control over it?

[lempereur]

Practice makes perfect. In the meantime, I am able to express affection enough for the both of us.

He told me that it showed up suddenly a couple of years ago. He has a bracelet he can wear to negate it, but otherwise he feels whatever those around him feel.

It sounds horribly inconvenient. Unless one means to interrogate someone, or make love to them.

[policedefective]

If you wish.

[Yes, thank you very much Yusuke - Akechi speak.]

I don't know if I'd enjoy the echo chamber while making quota with someone else. It could lead to horrible encounters if the other person is hiding something or not into it.

[lempereur]

I see your point...I suppose that under less-ideal conditions, it wouldn't be helpful.

It hasn't been a problem so far.

[policedefective]

Well...if I can be blunt, that's because you are mostly an open book. That can be an advantage in such a situation.

[lempereur]

As I should be, with my lovers. Everyone will enjoy themselves more if they are open.

[policedefective]

[He'll just assume this (thankfully?) doesn't mean him.]

Well, we both know how I feel about privacy. But that openness is what makes you...you.

[lempereur]

You could stand to be more open with your lovers too, Goro. You don't have to shout it to the entire world.

[policedefective]

[Lovers? He's not quite ready to use that word yet. But he won't argue against it either. The Akechi dilemma.]

It depends how they are, I suppose. I did tell Ren a lot of conformation even back home.

[lempereur]

[ "Lover" is totally safe. It's just a fact! ]

I don't mean just information. I like knowing how you're feeling. If you had a good day, or if something is bothering you, or if you want or need something that I can't guess. You can tell me things, no matter how small.

[policedefective]

That's...alright, I'll try.

[He's really not used to people caring all that much. It feels good?]

Thank you.

[lempereur]

Tell me something, then. What are your plans for tonight?

[policedefective]

I was going to work at Fangtasy, but I am sure Diva and Claudia-san would understand if I didn't come in.

[lempereur]

I'm sure that Diva will understand. She'd encourage it, if she thought I needed tending to.

[ She's sweet like that. ]
