[It's only a brief reprieve, but Momo's probably going to come back around with all the more savagery once it's over.]

I don't know, I think you could have some ulterior motives for looking so closely at my semi-nude form... (｡ˇ艸ˇ)

Those are good logical deductions!! I will say it's not on the knees or ankles, ankles would be pretty obvious too since I don't always wear full-length pants~!(*・∀-)☆

[Granted, he often wears long socks when he wears capris, but not always.]

We're idols... It's to be expected in this profession.

[What a lousy excuse.]

I see. I still think it must be on your legs, so since your thigh is the most well hidden, that would be my next guess.

It could also be your calf or the sole of your foot, which are both easy to injure. A scar on the top of your foot would probably keep you from wearing sandals, but you've never seemed to shy away from it in the summer. On the other hand, you would have to injure yourself quite badly to leave a lasting scar on the sole of your foot, since the skin there is tough and heals quickly. There are so many possibilities...

[As usual, he's thinking entirely too hard about this.]

Hmm, then why does everyone else still make such a fuss about my collection of Ryuu gravures~?
I can't help but think you're making excuses (*≧艸≦)

Well, you've pretty much guessed my whole leg right now! It's not thigh, though, so your next guess goes out the window (〃´・ω・`)ゝ
You're kind of overthinking it, though!! So I guess I should spoil the mystery before you get into too much of a lather~~
It's on the back of one of my calves (*´-｀*)

A gravure collection is completely normal for a fan, whether they're a casual consumer or a fanatic.

[And it would be a complete lie to say that he isn't interested in Momo's collection of private photos. But, like. Working up the courage to say that is hard.]

Ah... I see. So it was your leg after all. You usually wear long pants, so I've never noticed it before.

[It has to be from soccer... From what he knows, it all falls into place. But prying or making Momo unwillingly open up about it further is the last thing Sougo wants, so he just... isn't going to ask.]

Sure, but I don't think most fans or even fanatics get the chance to do their own shoots~ (ﾉ･◡-)☆

[Momo's situation with Ryuu is...certainly something.

And he's already right there on the point of not letting Sougo pursue the topic any further, because of course he is.]

That's on purpose~!
But now that I've told you all that, I'm going to need some more juicy details on what getting topped by Ryuu was like, you know? （*’∀’人）♥

To tell you the truth, I'm quite envious.

[Why is entertaining this topic not only an absolutely horrendous idea, but also something that he can't either be honest about or shut down completely?!]

I... was hoping you'd forgotten about that part...

Why not just ask Ryuu if you can join in next time I do it~? ((*´艸｀*))

[Just. Suggesting that one casually. Even though by the time Ryuu is drunk enough for it, Sougo will probably be absolutely wasted already.]

How could I? You asked me for some information in exchange for what I was asking you, so now you have to pay up~~ o(○｀ω´○)9

What?! I'm not bold enough to ask something like that!

[Some things never change.]

I... suppose that's correct. It would be unfair of me to refuse, no matter how desperately I want to. I should have asked something more revealing in exchange.

Ah, um... To answer your question, Tsunashi-san is exactly what you would expect of him in every way. That holds true no matter the situation, though the moons were highly influential...

Then I can help you ask!! You can't just stand around and hope your dreams will come true without a little boldness on your part~~ .+:｡(ﾉ･ω･)ﾉﾞ

That's the give-and-take, isn't it~? Now you know for the next round~

That's so vague though, Sougo...I didn't ask all this just so I could use my imagination, I could've done that without asking you ☆｡ﾟ+.(人-ω◕ฺ)ﾟ+.ﾟ
What expectations are you thinking of here? Was he super skilled with his body? A sexy, erotic beast who took what he wanted from you~? He did say that Irises had a particularly high pain tolerance...dare I ask about what kind of advantage you took of that~~? (๑ゝڡ◕๑)

[It's ruin Sougo hours again, apparently.]

That may be true, but...!

Momo-san?!?! I cn

I can't answer questions like that!

[Loading, please hold. Just give him a few minutes to work up a bit of courage. Things Momo couldn't use his imagination for... (Why is he doing this? Why does Momo have him wrapped around his finger?!)]

Tsunashi-san is endlessly caring and compassionate, just like always. He's a true gentleman.

Outside of specific circumstances, I'm certain he would never do anything demanding or particularly tempestuous without both parties agreeing to it.

However, given that you've been told what Sanguis and Iris were like... Those changes in temperament are more along the lines of what you seem to be thinking.

Why not??? You know Momo-chan won't judge you~ *:ﾟ*｡⋆ฺ(*´◡`)

[Otherwise he'd be kind of a hypocrite considering how much he's very prepared to think about doing in the bedroom.]

Yeah, he told me about getting really aggressive during Sanguis, that's why I'm asking~
I want to hear about all the juicy stuff you got up to while he was like that (*´艸)(艸｀*)
I'm not here to ask about anyone's normal vanilla sex, you know~? Momo-chan wants the good stuff (๑ゝڡ◕๑)

That's...

I'm not sure how much of a mistake it would be to ask you to use your imagination, but... whatever you're assuming about the dynamic is probably correct.

I feel like I'm going to overheat.

Edited 2021-03-28 14:46 (UTC)

No fair, Sougo!! You're copping out on me after I told you one of my secrets!!! ｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡
Do I need to sit next to you with an icepack or put you in a cold bath to defeat your heating up about it??? Because I'll do it o(○｀ω´○)9

[Asking him to use his imagination is definitely a mistake, but he's covering this first.]

As much as I appreciate the offer, I'd rather die than let anyone see my face right now.

It's probably the alcohol. Or at least I hope it is.

But... um... Many Sanguis transformations came with sharp claws and teeth.

Combining that with a possessive, ravenous nature means that scratches and bites were inevitable. That's likely part of the reason why Irises had a high pain tolerance and the ability to heal quickly.

Now you're starting to sound kind of worrying...

I guess I was right to think they went together like that, though~! Since Ryuu-chan definitely mentioned those little details about Iris~
Maybe I'll just have to ask him for a few more details next time I can get hold of him, since you're being all stingy about it (ノ*゜▽゜*)

[On one hand, at least he's not drilling him beyond his limits, on the other hand...who knows what he's going to end up asking Ryuu now that he's armed with this information.]

Please be kind to him... I'm only being stingy because I don't know what he's okay with me revealing.

And I'm incredibly flustered. The Iris cycle was truly mortifying. More than you could imagine if you tried.

I can't believe I've told you this much...

Well, I guess that should solve my problem, then, going straight to him~~

I'm grateful for what you did tell me, even if you're embarrassed!! It's healthy to be honest about this stuff with people you can trust, you know? So I hope you can feel more comfortable with it someday ( *’ω’* )

Well, yes, but... I would hate for him to think that I'm insensitively pushing this onto his shoulders. I don't mean to insinuate that you aren't kind, since that couldn't be further from the truth but please don't be too hard on him.

I've... tried to confide in people I trust, but as I thought, it's especially difficult to discuss things like this with Momo-san. Thank you for being so open-minded and understanding, and I deeply apologize if your opinion of me has been tarnished in any way.

However, if I ever gather the confidence, I wouldn't be against discussing things of this nature in the future.

[How obvious is it that he hasn't actually started drinking yet?]

I'm sure he'll understand! It's Ryuu-chan, after all, and we already talked about this kind of thing before~ (´ω｀*)

Of course not!! I'd have to be a total hypocrite to think anything bad about you talking about this sort of thing, it's stuff that everyone goes through and should get to be open about!!! (๑˃ᴗ˂)و

I'm always here to listen if you do~~
And I can bring some alcohol, since it seems like you got through it without this time?

[His writing is far too composed for him to be anywhere close to drunk, and he knows how quickly Sougo goes wild when he drinks.]

[Momo is offering him such kind and reassuring words (which, yes, he's already screenshotted), but at the same time... Can suddenly being transported to a new world with horny transformations and repeatedly hooking up with your senior co-worker in the idol industry/the former no.2 hottest man in Japan/the object of your fanboy desires really be called something everyone goes through? And sharing it with Momo, on top of that...

But he appreciates the sentiment. Truly.]

You're such a good role model, Momo-san. Thank you for your generous offer.

I was afraid of what I'd say if I began drinking... But believe me, I have the whiskey ready. I'm pouring myself a heavy-handed glass the moment this conversation ends.

[The fact that it's apparently happened more than once is enough for Momo to make that kind of point.]

I do my best~!

Remember to drink responsibly! Otherwise I'll have to come over and check on you (*´艸｀)

Thank you. Please enjoy the rest of your evening.

[Because no, he's not going to confirm or deny that he's absolutely going to drink irresponsibly (see: this icon). This conversation took years off of his life.]
