Chapter Text

SHIVERS [medium:success] - Heat from the long-gone sun still lingers deep in the city asphalt. The warm blanket of a sunny day is gone but many residents still remain outside, insisting on enjoying the unusually warm evening before the night takes over. Inside, reminders of the harsh reality await; old wallpaper and moldy apartment corners stirs up financial anxiety in the minds of most residents. But outside in the warmth, even if just for a fleeting moment, things feel okay.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - A sudden ringing shatters the comfortable silence in your apartment; it’s your green rotary phone, demanding your attention.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim’s head perks up first.

YOU - You shift on the couch, giving him a questioning look; who could that be?

RHETORIC - And how exactly do you expect him to know that? This is your apartment and that’s your phone. Get your lazy ass up and answer it to find out.

EMPATHY [easy:success] - Before you make any rash decisions, consider just how comfortable you are right now. Despite being old and worn, the couch is hugging your aching back pleasantly. Kim’s legs are draped over your thighs like a comfortable blanket, providing warmth. Do you really want to give this all up for a single phone call?

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim must take note of your inner struggle and aims you an assuring smile. The book he was reading is placed down next to you. He stands up, but allows his fingers to linger on your thigh for as long as physically possible; his fingertips dancing along the striped pattern on your pants to the very end.

SUGGESTION [medium:success] - He was extremely comfortable in your embrace and already longs for it.

YOU - You let out a defiant huff at the loss of contact as Kim’s warmth disappears. In annoyance, you feel the need to blame someone - anyone, for ruining the blissful domestic moment. The still ringing phone is given an angry glare.

KIM KITSURAGI - You observe as Kim’s slim fingers wrap around the receiver and lift it up to his ear. He turns his back to you, an instinctive move for privacy you find quite endearing.

LOGIC [easy:success] - Years of no-nonsense living have engraved certain behaviors so deep into his spine, that there is no shaking them even in your presence.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes?" He answers the phone with a sharp tone.

SUGGESTION - You can’t help but to enjoy how strongly Kim’s professional tone contrasts his domestic appearance; he is wearing a pair of light blue sweatpants cuffed at the ankles, a white t-shirt with an unrecognizable faded print, and basic white socks. All carry signs of years worth of at-home repairs. The man cares for the things he likes and takes great pleasure in fixing them up.

EMPATHY [challenging:success] - Things such as yourself.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes, speaking... I see... correct... ... no, I believe it is the other one." Kim speaks, his tone professional as always.

LOGIC [easy:success] - The call is for him. It must be a work-related call. The lieutenant would not entertain an unnecessary call at this hour.

RHETORIC - But who is calling him? And about what? Most day shift workers at the precinct have gone home at this hour, and the night shift is only beginning to shuffle in.

YOU - Your curiosity has officially been piqued. Perhaps you can gain some information by observing Kim.

VOLITION - Or ... his book is by your side, you could use this time to learn something new.

YOU - Pssh, I don’t need that shit. Besides, it doesn't have any pictures. I'm a creature of great creativity, I learn visually.

CONCEPTUALIZATION [challenging:success] - Kim’s life is a book of endlessly tragic artwork spread across pages of monochrome. His story is bound with tight leather that unravels for only a select few. You, as one of those lucky people, should relish in this privilege and turn over a new page to see what you can fill it with.

YOU - You understand me. Alright, Let’s do this.

VOLITION - It wouldn't hurt to freshen your knowledge every now and then. However, I can see that I'm being outnumbered, so ... proceed.

OBSERVE AND ENJOY
PERCEPTION: 8

HIGH: 97%

+1 Warm and comfortable
+1 Art cop

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [medium:success] - The man in question stands rigid, his other hand locked behind his back in its usual formal position. He keeps his back turned to you. Even on the phone, Kim asserts himself in the utmost professional manner. He speaks with confidence and an even tone. You notice that he only talks when talked to; indicatin that someone must be questioning him.

YOU - So definitely a work call. But who would be questioning Kim? Could it be related to the case?

ESPRIT DE CORPS [formidable:success] - You and the lieutenant are currently working the case of THE CREEK DOE; an unknown female victim found beaten to death in a shallow creek at the city outskirts. It would be extremely out of character for Kim to leave you out of a conversation concerning a case you are also involved in.

AUTHORITY - Unlike some officers, the lieutenant takes his work seriously. He makes sure you are included in work matters, even when you don't want to be.

YOU - My vast soul requires days off, you can’t use that against me.

LOGIC [easy:success] - There is another case this call could be about.

ESPRIT DE CORPS [medium:success] - The lieutenant recently offered his expertise to Satellite-officer Vicquemare with a case involving a teenager initially thought to be a runaway. But in an unexpected turn of events, recent evidence now suggests a kidnapping. The case of a RUNAWAY GIRL has since been renamed to GONE GIRL.

YOU - Hmm ... so either Vic or Judit then, it's their case. Wait, maybe it's Pryce? He must be calling to assign Kim on the case too!

LOGIC - Something about that answer does not feel right. Why not?

RHETORIC [medium:success] - Because you know Pryce would call straight to the lieutenant’s apartment. He has no reason to assume the lieutenant could be reached from your number.

ESPRIT DE CORPS - While everyone else in the precinct seems to be aware of your relationship with the lieutenant, as the captain, Pryce has no time to immerse himself in such deeply personal affairs.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - In other words, you could be fucking a freshly baked blueberry pie and he wouldn't care, as long as you are doing your job.

KIM KITSURAGI - While you are busy spacing out, Kim keeps talking. "Yes, that would be the correct one ... it should still be available, but I can make a call and confirm it myself if needed ... understood."

YOU - Someone from the Precinct is looking for information on something only Kim knows. Help me out here.

INTERFAINTERFACING [medium:failure] - Twelve cylinder rear-mounted V12 engines.

SUGGESTION [formidable:failure] - The underground.

SAVOIR FARE [easy:failure] - Age-inappropriate dance moves.

ESPRIT DE CORPS [challenging:success] - Precinct 57.

YOU - Wait - that's it!

ESPRIT DE CORPS [challenging:success] - On the other side of the phone, separated by eight busy kilometers and endless radio chatter, patrol officer Judit Minot is sitting at her desk with a black phone receiver in her hand. A stack of papers is laying in front of her, and she is searching through them while the lieutenant speaks.

Suddenly, something catches her eye. TAKEN AT NIGHT; an already solved case of a kidnapped young girl who was found murdered only three days later after her disappearance. It’s the file she has been looking for!

"Thank you, lieutenant. That’s all I needed.” She brushes off Kim’s offer of help politely; “No no, you have done quite enough. I will call precinct 57 and inquire about the rest of the files myself. Again, I apologize for calling you this late, lieutenant.” Judit smiles into the phone.

KIM KITSURAGI - “It’s quite alright.” Kim answers. “I’m glad I was able to be of assistance.”

ESPRIT DE CORPS [medium:success] - Silence falls between the two. Only the distant crackling of the radio line continues the conversation as a silent question sits on the tongues of both officers; How did Judit know to reach Kim from your home number? Both officers are professional enough to leave such personal matters unspoken. Besides, they both know the answer, there is no need to spell it out.

AUTHORITY - Patrol Officer Minot would never disrespect her superior in such a manner. Gossip and unnecessary teasing don't interest her.

KIM KITSURAGI - Instead, the lieutenant takes the lead and continues with the relevant subject; "But I must admit, I am quite curious as to why you need this information." He admits. "That case was solved years ago."

ESPRIT DE CORPS [medium:success] - Judit nuzzles the receiver between her cheek and shoulder as she begins to file the papers back into their original folders. “Yes, well – there is a possibility the information in that case file could help us with the current case we are working on. GONE GIRL, previously named RUNAWAY GIRL. I wouldn’t go as far as to say we have a connection between the cases, it’s a suspicion at best but … we just want to tie up all loose ends before continuing.” she explains.

SAVOIR FARE - convincing lie; but she wholeheartedly believes there is a connection. Her foot is bouncing up and down in an excited dance.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Ah, I see. I hope you find what you are looking for then. Please contact me if you need any further assistance." The lieutenant's tone betrays him; a subdued hint of excitement hidden under his professional facade is leaking through. Kim truly hopes Judit will contact him again, the possibility of a connection has greatly intrigued him.

YOU - You are excited too. A connection between cases! Multiple possibilities are immediately swirling in your mind; Is this a case of a copycat killer? Is the old suspect on the loose? Or is this a work of a person still running wild while an innocent man has been rotting in prison for their crime?

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim places the phone down with a satisfying click. Visibly relaxing, he turns around to face you again. There is positive tension in his jaw; he is excited to tell you about the possible case connection and to get your take on it.

REACTION SPEED [trivial:success] - But there is no need, you are all caught up! Time to show what you got, superstar!

YOU - You barely take in a breath before you blurt out; "You think she's right and there really is a connection?" An eager crooked smile is spread on your face and you grip the edge of the couch cushions to keep yourself from springing up.

KIM KITSURAGI - Your verbal cannonball stops Kim in his tracks. His eyes squint ever so slightly as he stares at you, silently.

DRAMA [easy:success] - A deer in the headlights; a confused being witnessing something it cannot comprehend.

LOGIC - The call is playing back in a loop in his mind, being professionally dissected by his analytical brain. There must have been a slip up, a mention of the case, or perhaps a name. Anything to explain how you were able to find out what the call was about.

COMPOSURE [medium:success] - He is keeping his cool but under that controlled facade a whirlwind of thoughts are forming a vortex of questions. How did you know what the call was about? How? How? How?

INLAND EMPIRE [challenging:success] - You saw it, you felt it, you experienced it. Physically your body remained on the comfortable sofa, but mentally you traveled through the phone lines to the precinct and back, observing every moment with your mind’s eye.

VOLITION - Kim is well aware of your almost supra-natural ability to read people. He is privileged enough to witness you in action almost on a daily basis. Despite this, being the target of your can-opening never gets any less unnerving.

COMPOSURE - Especially when you do so literally behind his back without his knowledge.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - A deeply perplexed frown has now fallen on Kim's face. No matter which possible answer he attempts to fit with the question in his head; none of them work. The confusion is ravaging his mind enough to weigh down his expression.

VISUAL CALCULUS [heroic:success] - But wait, it's not just confusion causing that puzzled frown. Something else is also happening behind those eyes; a plan is forming. A plan to answer a question long lingering. A plan that Kim is now about to act on.

YOU - What? He - What does that mean?

HALF LIGHT - He's about to fuck you up!

KIM KITSURAGI - As if on command, Kim regains his composure. His face returns to its usual stoic appearance, but you can still see a playful sparkle lingering in the corner of his eye.

DRAMA - A beat of silence. You are in trouble, sire!

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim keeps his eyes on you as he returns to the couch. This time, he crosses his legs and sits sideways, facing you. The silence stretches.

CONCEPTUALIZATION [legendary:success] - Questions and answers are rolling around in his mind. Notes on a list are being checked off, details circled, important parts highlighted. Kim is preparing for something.

YOU - You only stare at him, scared that moving might trigger an attack.

ENCYCLOPEDIA [formidable:failure] - Kim's vision is based on movement. If you stay completely still, he won’t be able to see you.

VOLITION - Extremely incorrect. You urgently need to invest time in reading, this guy worries me sometimes.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Tell me something, Harry..." Kim finally starts with an amused tone. His eyes drill into you with playful determination. "How do you do it?"

YOU - Bwhuh - what?

LOGIC [medium:success] - He is asking how you are able to hear the inaudible, read text yet to be written, know the unknown.

COMPOSURE [challenging:failure] - The sudden demeanor switch is throwing you off, you can only sit under Kim’s gaze with a dumbfounded expression plastered on your face.

RHETORIC - What’s with the sudden interrogation? Why does he care? You have enough assholes picking your brain on the regular already.

VOLITION - People are naturally curious when faced with someone as eccentric as yourself.

ESPRIT DE CORPS - Civilians are curious but also easy to please with an empty answer; Just something you have learned after years of detective work, a well-trained eye, an RCM secret, etc. Take your pick, they all work.

SUGGESTION [trivial:success] - But Kim is your partner; at work and in life, you know a flimsy excuse won’t work. He witnesses the simply unexplainable way you gather information seemingly out of thin air more than anyone. In most cases he shakes off his confusion and tells himself there is a rational reason behind it all; Something simple he missed because of his poor vision or a detail only you were able to spot due to your experience.

INLAND EMPIRE - But every now and then something so unexplainable happens that it tests even the limits of the lieutenant’s ever-rational mind. Despite this, he refuses to entertain any possibility outside the realm of reality.

RHETORIC - In Jamrock, there are always very real problems to focus on.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - The unknown is frightening, it’s often easier to stay in the familiar ignorance. At least then you know where you are.

SUGGESTION - However, this time something is enticing Kim to keep digging. Perhaps the excitement of the connected cases has his solution-orientated mind on overdrive, whispering encouragement into his ears.

AUTHORITY - And he will have his answers. The lieutenant gets what he wants.

YOU - You have been staring at Kim for unnaturally long while getting lost inside your mind. Slowly, a shaky smile creeps on your face and you lean back, trying to give yourself some more space away from those piercing brown eyes drilling into you. "Uuumhh well ... you know me, I just ..." you chuckle and shrug.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Use your words. How do you do it?" Kim repeats and - oh no - he is deploying his secret weapon; the eyebrow.

DRAMA - Run, sire! Run!

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Like a mighty blade, the lieutenant's eyebrow swings up sharply. A lethal amount of authority radiates from the tight curve of his brow; aimed directly at you like a beam of utter destruction.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - The effect is immediate; Your muscles all cramp under the crushing weight of his authority, freezing you on the spot. Your cheeks and neck begin heating up and you can feel sweat starting to gather in your armpits and on your back.

VOLITION - Fuck, how did I not see this coming?!

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Like an echoing drum, your heartbeat is beating faster and faster in your ears, drowning out all outside noise.

RESIST THE MIGHTY BROW
COMPOSURE: 4

LOW: 37%

-2 Surprise attack
-1 Sorry cop

COMPOSURE [challenging:failure] - You can't. It takes reasonable effort but you manage to force out a few wavering words through your clasped jaw. "Umh - uuuh - I don’t - well it's - why are you asking me now? I was really digging the cuddling, how about we - uh - get back to that?" Your throat feels dry and thick, the words are coming out slurred. A shaky smile fights to spread on your face, but even the corners of your mouth are quivering under Kim's brow.

PAIN TOLERANCE - Relent! Give in! Do whatever it takes to make him stop!

KIM KITSURAGI - You are unraveling much faster than Kim anticipated. Fearing that he might have come off as too aggressive, he mercifully rests his eyebrow. As a show of apology, Kim reaches out his hand and cups your reddening cheek in a gentle hold.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - Hands roughened by violence, but his touch still gentle as the morning dew.

SUGGESTION - Kim adores your big lap dog appearance.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Hey, you’re okay... Perhaps that was a bit too aggressive. How about we try a slower approach?" Kim suggests, his words accompanied by a soft smile.

ENDURANCE - Slower sounds good. Your abused heart might actually give out if it keeps beating at this speed for much longer.

YOU - You nod and swallow nervously. The effects of Kim’s paralyzing authority still linger in your body like an aftershock. You rid the remaining tingles with a full body shake and chuckle; "Fucking hell... how about we talk about how you could kill man with just your eyebrow instead?" you suggest and wipe sweat off your forehead.

KIM KITSURAGI - Amused, Kim flashes you a dangerously smug smile; "Detective, you if someone should know the RCM protocol explicitly prohibits discussing interrogation techniques outside work." His tone is playful and proud, clearly enjoying the praise.

ESPRIT DE CORPS - Any moment which gives the lieutenant a chance to to cite the RCM rulebook is a good moment for him.

SUGGESTION - He is more likely basking in his ability to melt a burly man like you into a puddle with such ease.

COMPOSURE - A shiver strong enough to rock your entire being shoots through you. If you were 20 years younger, the two of you would already be making out on the couch like wild animals.

ENDURANCE - Keep dreaming buddy, you need more than this to get going nowadays.

AUTHORITY - Stop acting like a horny teenager, you're embarrassing yourself. Why are you like this?

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Because it's hot as hell, brother! The knowledge that at any time, anywhere, he could force you on your knees with a simple look sends arousal gushing through your body.

YOU - As your muscles are free to relax again, you lean back on the couch with a relieved sigh. Kim’s smug smile brings your mouth into a grin too; "There must be regulations about using interrogation tricks on innocent civilians too, lieutenant." you muse, mimicking his tone. You both know that you are the furthest thing from innocent. It’s all part of the game you play.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - You are reprehensible, outrageously weird even, and Kim adores that. He especially loves when you invite him to rub it in.

KIM KITSURAGI - Just as you expected, your words go straight into Kim’s ears, painting them with a shy cover of blush. He lets out a breathy chuckle and aims a sly look at you; "There is quite literally nothing innocent or civilian about you, Harrier." he points out with a smile, the words falling out from his lips with self-satisfied inflection.

INLAND EMPIRE - His voice makes your name sound like a prayer.

ENDURANCE - Alright, you are on the right path now. Keep this up and eventually your abused manhood might get stimulated enough to -

REACTION SPEED [formidable:success] - Wait wait wait! Kim is about to get up!

KIM KITSURAGI - "But -" Before Kim fully begins his sentence he allows it to simmer out, and instead gets off the couch.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - A few determined steps lead him to his bomber jacket hanging near your front door. For a split second, fear flashes in your mind; A familiar panic from the past telling you Kim is going to leave. But instead, his slender hand sneaks to retrieve something from his pocket - oh - his notebook!

DRAMA - Gulp. He is not letting this go, sire.

YOU - Whaaaaaat, I thought we were going to -

EMPATHY - Calm down Casanova, there is always time for fooling around. But when was the last time you two were able to have a heart to heart?

ESPRIT DE CORPS - Work keeps both of you busy, there is rarely time to sit down and discuss topics unrelated to work. Someone is always getting stabbed, drugs are always exchanging hands, and stores are always being robbed.

VOLITION - But tomorrow, in an unprecedented moment, it's a day off for both of you. No early alarms are forcing you to bed early tonight or up before sunrise tomorrow morning.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [trivial:success] - You crane your neck to peek towards your apartment entrance. There, you see by now a comfortably familiar sight; a gray neatly packed overnight bag sitting next to a pair of combat boots, both in rigid order and taking as little space as possible. Initials K.K are embroidered on the bag, right under a logo worn beyond recognition.

VISUAL CALCULUS [legendary:success] - Inside the bag, neatly ironed and folded, sits two pairs of identical white wool socks, Kim’s usual pair of cargo pants, a singular white tank top, and three pairs of gray boxers.

SUGGESTION [formidable:success] - Quite a needless amount of underwear for a simple and clean overnight stay. Clearly Kim is also anticipating something more than just an evening of crosswords and cuddling.

YOU - Oh ... oh! Alright now we’re talking! Yeah yeah - I don't mind a little chit-chat first, I can wait. Yeah I’m - yeah.

AUTHORITY - Holy shit, it’s like both your brain and spine were replaced by dick. What the fuck is wrong with you?

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - You feel the couch cushion dip down next to you, catching your attention.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim has returned, now holding his personal notebook. The book stays closed firmly in his grasp as he gives you a peek from under his brow; "Amuse me, wont you?" Kim requests and gives your sturdy thigh a gentle squeeze. "Allow me to pick your brain a little." He is smiling gently, carefully optimistic his excitement will rub off on you.

YOU - You sigh and feign irritation. A lovestruck smile is still spread wide on your face as you lean in to steal a kiss from him; "You know I'd do anything for you. I’ll try my best."

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - His soft lips slot perfectly with yours, welcoming the loving gesture shyly. A wave of warmth radiates from the contact, seeping deep into every cell in your body and making your entire soul bloom. Kim rests his arms over your shoulders and you swear you can feel your lungs glowing.

KIM KITSURAGI - "I know you do." Kim says gently as your lips depart.

VOLITION [easy:success] - Day after day you prove to Kim that his faith in you was not misplaced.

KIM KITSURAGI - "So -" eager to continue, Kim nudges his head towards the notebook sitting on his lap. "Enlighten me. What information did you gain from the call?"

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Be a good boy and play along. Good boys get a treat in the end.

YOU - Despite agreeing to the idea, you still test Kim with one last playful act of defiance. Accompanied by a loud sigh, you roll your eyes. "You really want to do this? Fiiiiine... Let's spend a nice calm evening dissecting my brain like a car motor instead of - oh, I don't know - making hot sweet love."

DRAMA - Sensationally striking act, sire! His guilt must be tearing a hole into his very soul!

KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes. Why wouldn't I?" Kim answers your question with his own, cocking his head to the side. Your cozy apartment light catches his gaze, bringing out a flash of amber in his deep brown eyes. There is a hitch in his voice he is trying to subdue. "You know I enjoy a project." he assures teasingly and gives your nose a playful tap with the end of his pen. "And for the record, you don’t dissect a vehicle motor, you disassemble it."

INTERFACING [easy:success] - He is correct.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) [easy:success] - Unapologetic smugness overflows from his words.

EMPATHY - You love this man an unbelievable amount.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - There are crows feet in the corner of his eyes and the deep smile lines framing his mouth only emphasize his smile. Like a sleek feline, his every move is elegant and tempting.

YOU - It's during peaceful moments such as this, where the two of you are enjoying a simple domestic moment, in which you can't help but to wonder how someone like Kim, a good looking man of confidence and morale, chose to love a fat amnesiac wreck like you.

VOLITION - Don't question it, just enjoy it.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - You observe Kim flipping through his notebook. Words such as "stages of decomposition", "blood spatter analysis", and "grocery list" fly past your eyes. Despite having multiple notebooks for different affairs, his work and personal notes occasionally still bleed into each other.

REACTION SPEED [heroic:success] - Halt. You see something else; a page the lieutenant brushes past exceptionally swiftly.

YOU - Oh, secrets! What does it say?

READ THE PAGE
VISUAL CALCULUS: 9

EVEN: 58%

+1 Art cop
-2 Text is hidden
-1 Busy thinking about Kim

VISUAL CALCULUS [legendary:success] - Written on the page in lieutenant's hasty handwriting, tucked away from prying eyes, a secret wish; voicing the possibility of asking you to fill his desires in the bedroom. The sentences have been scribbled over in shame, leaving any further details indecipherable.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Well well well...

YOU - Wait, these are sex secrets?!

COMPOSURE - You are officially distracted. Again. How are you expected to keep your focus on the present instead of imagining all the beautiful possibilities that page could be hiding?

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - It's more than distracting, your dick is now interested too. Many unprofessional images are flooding your mind; what could the lieutenant possibly be writing about?

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [formidable:success] - Spanking, choking, restraints, dominating, the options are endlessly delicious! Imagine all the things he wants you to do for him. It could be anything, someone that composed and cool must be interested in only the most degenerate fetishes! Maybe he wants to crush your balls!

YOU - Crush my - holy shit?!

LOGIC [easy:success] - Alarmingly, none of these ideas kill your boner. You either harbor a litany of questionable fetishes or are just simply so utterly enamored by Kim that you would let him do anything to you.

COMPOSURE - You take a shaky breath and reach out to grab one of the couch pillows. Your slowly growing erection isn't going anywhere, so covering it with a pillow is the only solution you can think of.

LOGIC - A juvenile technique but it works.

KIM KITSURAGI - Only because Kim's eyes are busy scanning his notebook instead of focusing on your boner crisis. "How about we start simple. What information were you able to gain from the call?" he inquires, meeting your eyes briefly for a second. The pillow on your lap gets a quick look of acknowledgment, before Kim’s eyes are back on you.

INLAND EMPIRE [difficult:success] - An empty page waits, ready to store your thoughts inside lines of deep blue ink forever.

VOLITION - Harry. Kim's secrets are enticing, but try your best to stay focused on the task at hand. Whatever Kim has written in his notebook is obviously private and not something he wishes to discuss right now.

COMPOSURE - Mustering all your self-control, you wrestle your facial muscles into the most neutral expression you are capable of. Your mind is overflowing with explicit scenarios that keep pumping blood into your cock, but nobody would be able to tell it from your face.

YOU - You cross your arms over your chest and lean back on the couch, sinking into the soft cushion. The pillow wobbles on your crotch but stays. "It was Judit who called, right?" you ask, despite already knowing you are right.

AUTHORITY - That's right, you are correct. You are always correct.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Correct." Kim confirms and writes your answer down swiftly. His gaze quickly focuses back to you, encouraging you on.

VISUAL CALCULUS [formidable:success] - He is studying you, examining your every feature for clues. Attempting to detect some hidden meaning in your deep wrinkles and untold truths in your scars.

YOU - "She asked you about a case; an older case you solved while you were still with 57. She thinks it might be connected to her and Vic's case." Your hand sneaks under your chin while recalling the phone call.

KIM KITSURAGI - "How did you know the call was work related" Kim rapid fires another question, surprising even himself with his own enthusiasm. Embarrassment flashes briefly on his face before he swiftly buries his face back between the pages.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - Don't mock him for it. It's not often he is able to indulge in his interests so openly without judgment.

SAVOIR FAIRE - "You aim a singular finger gun at Kim and fire an imaginary bullet with a snap of your fingers. "By the way you stood."

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Kim's gaze raises back up and he cocks an eyebrow; your answer has surprised him.

KIM KITSURAGI - "The way I was standing? Elaborate, please." he asks while writing something down in his notebook.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - His handwriting is illegible due how fast he is writing. It makes you wonder why he felt the need to add an extra layer of protection for his already indecipherable secret sex notes.

YOU - Kim's single-minded focus on the task at hand endears you. The obvious struggle of discarding his professional persona and allowing himself to simply be a curious creature is charming enough to keep you smiling. "You stood like you do when we are at work. Hands behind your back, all cool and serious and - and yeah." you explain and do your best impression of his posture while still remaining on the couch.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - There is astonishment in the lieutenant’s gaze. You can see his ears tinting red as he writes down your answer.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - He would never admit it, but he finds it endearing how closely you observe him. The way you eat up every little detail about his presence like he is the most precious thing on Elysium. You know details about him not even he is aware of.

SUGGESTION [formidable:success] - It makes his stomach tingle in excitement. The feeling brings back memories from years back, from the time he first set foot at an underground bar and felt the hungry eyes of other men lingering on his body.

RHETORIC - All those options yet he chose you. Why in the hell?

EMPATHY - Because you want him for more than his body; you want him for all of him. A reality Kim is still adjusting to.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Khm." Uneasy under your direct attention, Kim clears his throat. He straightens his posture and pushes his glasses up on his nose to compose himself, but the persistent blush on his ears lingers. "Eyeing your fellow officers... could this possibly explain why you are always so distracted at work?" he accuses playfully.

SUGGESTION - Oh? Playing with ranks now? He really is in the mood.

YOU - Flashing a sleazy grin, you lean closer to Kim and wiggle your eyebrows; "Lieutenant, you're not criticizing your superior, are you? Tsk tsk tsk."

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Ooh yeah baby, you’re an irresistible sex machine! He is powerless against the sensual swing of your brows!

HAND/EYE COORDINATION - Careful with the lean, that pillow is the only thing keeping Kim safe from your erect sword of lethal masculinity.

HALF LIGHT - Don’t flatter yourself, It’s the only thing preventing him from witnessing your humiliating old man half-chub.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Kim’s facial muscles are now in a fight for their life, twitching desperately against the smile wanting to spread on his face. Wisely, he doesn’t risk speaking out loud. Instead, he simply raises an eyebrow as a warning.

SAVOIR FAIRE - If you know what’s good for you, you will back off now!

YOU - "Okay okay! Just put that thing back down!" you laugh and draw back with your hands up in mock surrender. With a happy smile plastered on your face, you keep talking; "Back to the call - there was also the fact that you didn’t address anyone by their rank and only answered questions. So I deduced it had to be someone familiar from the precinct calling you in search of information."

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Kim's pen is gliding across the lined pages, following your words in an impressive speed.

YOU - "Then I thought about what sort of information someone would want specifically from you. Besides - you know - underground stuff I thought it had to be related to your old precinct." you explain.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim’s eyes jump between yours and his notes. He dots off the last sentence with a sharp press of a pen. "Khm. Impressive detective work."

ESPRIT DE CORPS [medium:success] - He means it.

RHETORIC - But he is not done yet.

KIM KITSURAGI - Slowly, Kim tilts his head to the side while studying his notes. Something is clearly gnawing at him as he taps his chin with his pen, deep in thought. Suddenly, the pen stills against his lip and his eyes lock with yours; "But tell me... how did you know it was Officer Minot calling me?"

SUGGESTION - His tone becomes smug, almost daring. You see a hint of a smirk forming; explain this, detective, his look challenges.

LOGIC [medium:success] - That’s s because he’s got you cornered. There is no rational explanation how you knew it was Officer Minot on the line. You were not expecting a call from her, the phone was too far away for you to hear what was being said, and Kim didn’t address her by her name.

INLAND EMPIRE [heroic:success] - Your mind rejects rationality. It seeks information from the city itself, listens to the whisper of the wind, and converses with the flickering sodium lights.

RHETORIC - What now, genius? Are you finally going to admit that you are an insane person with 24 different voices in your head? That’s sure to get him in the mood.

SAVOIR FAIRE - 24 of us, let him meet us all! We'll have a party!

YOU - The smile on your face falters, now replaced with a look of deep uncertainty. Charmed by the domestic evening and loving atmosphere, the possible repercussions of Kim’s little experiment managed to somehow slip past your attention.

REACTION SPEED [easy:failure] - My bad.

RHETORIC - But seriously, how did you expect to rationalize your thought process in a sane way? No matter which way you lay it, in the end you will always seem deranged.

AUTHORITY - Say it! Say it with pride and honor! Tell him you're insane!

YOU - What? No - fuck no! We have a good thing going with Kim, I’m not going to ruin it by - by bringing you guys into this!

VOLITION [easy:success] - Don’t listen to them. The way your brain functions is unique, but you’re not insane. Not any more than other RCM officers, at least.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - A noticeably more concerned tone suddenly interrupts your thought process; "Harry?"

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim’s hand has stalled in the middle of writing and he is now fully focused on you. He is hunched over his notebook in a mixture of confusion and worry. Your silence has lingered for too long.

EMPATHY [easy:success] - Long enough for you to weaponize your thoughts against yourself, he thinks.

YOU - Hastily, you regain your smile and do your best to appear nonchalant. "Huh? Oh - yeah - I’m just - it just gets a bit loud in there when I think. You know how it is." you point towards your head and force a chuckle.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Kim raises an inquisitive eyebrow at your statement. His eyes swift to your pointer finger and back to you; something is brewing in his mind again.

DRAMA [easy:success] - More questions, my liege! The games never end with this one!

KIM KITSURAGI - Indeed, Kim’s s eyes stay on yours but his pen readies against his notebook again. "When you say that, what do you mean by loud, exactly?"

INLAND EMPIRE [heroic:success] - Busy; a never ending compulsion to find every clue, see every mark, feel every emotion. An uncontrollable mind seeking answers for questions that have not been asked yet, dragging your mortal body along for the ride. Your senses are tied to everything in the city, your soul forever bonded with hers.

HALF LIGHT - It’s not that deep, you're just fucking insane.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Silence filled with anticipation falls on you two. Kim’s s pen is firmly pressed against paper, waiting to be given the go-ahead.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - Kim has witnessed you at your worst and still stood by your side. Deep down you trust him enough to know that it would take more than hearing voices inside your head to make him leave you.

HALF LIGHT - You said this same shit with her as well. Go on then, ruin this relationship too! See how much the lieutenant likes dating a mental case.

YOU - It’s suddenly hard to get the words out. "Well that’s - it’s not that I don’t want to explain, I just -" your words come out a disjointed mess. "It just gets so messy in my head and - and there’s so much going on that... I don’t think I can..." you admit with a defeated sigh. "I'm sorry, I really want to but..."

KIM KITSURAGI - The pen is laid against the notebook as Kim takes the time to study you in silence. His gaze is soft.

HALF LIGHT - You utter fucking disappointment. The whole evening is ruined! Kim asked you for one thing and you can’t even give him that?

YOU - Feeling the irresistible urge to fix the swiftly declining mood, your mouth keeps flapping; "If I just take a moment I’m - I'm sure - just an intermission to gather my thoughts and - look it’s just -"

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Suddenly, a radiating touch blesses you from above; you feel fingers sneak between your fluffy strands of hair. The touch immediately sends a wave of comfort through your body and silences your brain.

INLAND EMPIRE - It’s like someone pressed an OFF switch for your thoughts.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Kim’s hand tangles between your coarse hair. He is looking at you with honest fondness.There is no room for judgment in his gaze; only understanding.

KIM KITSURAGI - "No apologies." Kim states.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) [easy:success] - Affection is leaking between every syllable.

EMPATHY - Despite the show of understanding, you can’t help the growing guilt from dampening your mood.

VOLITION [medium:success] - Don't give up just yet. While it’s true that vocalizing highly emotional topics is still a challenge for you, there are still ways you could answer his questions.

YOU - How? I can’t get the words out and then end up fumbling it and - you guys get so fucking loud!

RHETORIC - Is there a reason why you are being so narrow minded about this issue? You normally refuse to take a conventional approach to even the simplest things. How is this any different?

SAVOIR FAIRE - New man, new moves, new approaches! Do it your way!

LOGIC [easy:success] - What they mean is; forcing yourself to try and work through a task in a way that doesn’t fit you is useless. One can reach the same satisfactory end result by multiple different means, and they are all equally valid. You just need to pick the one that works for you.

YOU - Oh... oh, okay - yeah. So what - what other ways do I have?

VOLITION - Simply do what you do best, Harry.

AUTHORITY [easy:success] - Can open him.

YOU - Ooooooh!

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim is silent, waiting patiently for you to answer. His hand is still lingering in your hair, stroking you affectionately.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) [trivial:success] - His nails scratch your scalp gently, sending satisfying shivers through your spine. Unlike your anxiety bitten nails, Kim trims his with care.

YOU - Slowly, the crooked smile Kim loves so much returns to your face. You lean against his hand, enjoying the affection like an oversized dog.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [medium:success] - Touch of love. The skin of Kim’s hand is worn but soft, he moisturizes it daily. His palm feels impossibly warm, heat radiating from the pure love he feels towards you.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim is smiling again, relieved. He pets you with more enthusiasm and lets out a chuckle; "Are you okay?" This time the question sounds more like a statement. You are okay, he’s got you.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - Always with you by my side.

YOU - "Yep yep, I'm good." you grin and rub against Kim’s hand with such enthusiasm he needs to put more pressure against your head to keep you from falling forward. Lost in bliss, you close your eyes and let out a satisfied sigh. You could fall asleep right now.

REACTION SPEED [easy:success] - Wake up sleepyhead! We are doing this, remember? Your way this time, no interrogations, no endless questioning, no note taking. Just good old can-opening!

YOU - Your eyes shoot open in realization and you rush grasp both of Kim’s hands with enthusiasm; "NO! Let’s do it! I can show you - I know how!" you beam proudly.

SUGGESTION - You enjoy pleasing him.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [medium:success] - On your knees, on your back, on your stomach, in every way he wants you, you are at his service. He only needs to yank the invisible chain with a firm stare to make you crumble.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Oh?" Kim blurts out in surprise. His eyes are wide open again, but this time you can clearly see the curious glimpse in them.

YOU - "Yes! But - uh - not by words, that doesn’t really work for me." You grin sheepishly. "But I got something else! Drumroll please..."

DRAMA - Lieutenant! My liege requests drums this instant!

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim raises a playful eyebrow in amusement. You are still clasping his hands tight, preventing him from playing said imaginary drums at your request.

AUTHORITY [easy:success] - He wouldn’t do that even if he was able to.

YOU - The lack of drums doesn't deter you. Instead, you beam a proud smile and spread your arms wide, presenting your grand plan; "I will can-open you!"

KIM KITSURAGI - You see Kim’s expression slowly turn into a puzzled frown. His now free hand sneaks over his mouth as he considers your idea. "You will... can-open me?" he repeats, chewing on your words.

"I'm not entirely sure how that will help me understand your thought process... you are always can-opening me, aren't you?" Kim chuckles with a sly grin on his face.

LOGIC - He isn't wrong. You literally can’t stop. During the time you have known the lieutenant, you have both intentionally and unintentionally gathered multiple casefiles worth of personal information on him.

SAVOIR FAIRE [medium:success] - How Kim enjoys humming along to music while folding laundry.

CONCEPTUALIZATION [formidable:success] - Or how he finds painting miniature aerocraft models extremely relaxing. And quite embarrassing, thus why he hasn’t shared this hobby with you just yet.

INTERFACING [easy:success] - You are also aware of the exact réal amount he has spent on his Kineema. A number he will most likely never share with you in full.

RHETORIC - This situation requires you to gain some high level security information, none of that casual shit. You will have to impress him with something he could never see coming. Something so undeniably unexplainable that there is no logical way past it.

YOU - Like what? That sounds difficult.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [medium:success] - Like his little hidden dirty secret.

YOU - Oh... but that's - isn’t that a bit -

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - A bit fucking what? Just two seconds ago you were ready to have your balls crushed! Come on, this way it’s not just Kim getting something out of this humdrum of a conversation.

YOU - Feeling indecisive, you seek Kim’s eyes for reassurance. "Sure - yeah, point taken, guilty as charged. But How about this; I could try can-opening information that I don't know yet. Like a top secret high security lieutenant Kitsuragi secret?" You suggest.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim falls silent again and takes a moment to ponder your words. His eyes focus on nothing as the cogs in his mind twist and turn.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [medium:success] - No doubt going through a list of his secrets in his mind. His brows furrow as he weighs his options, questionint if taking a risk of this magnitude is worth it.

KIM KITSURAGI - A short moment of consideration later, Kim nods thoughtfully. "Hm, I suppose that could work." he decides, surprising you.

YOU - "Really?!"

RHETORIC [medium:success] - It could work, but it won’t. On a hypothetical plane where supra-natural mind reading was real, this would be a good way to go about proving such powers. But Kim's confidence is rooted in reality and the plane you both live on; one without mind reading shenanigans.

SAVOIR FAIRE - Only good old can-opening shenanigans here!

LOGIC - Despite his lack of true belief in the plan, the lieutenant still takes all given tasks seriously. And like any task, this too starts with a solid plan.

ESPRIT DE CORPS - Any proper case begins with a preliminary Investigation.

ENCYCLOPEDIA [easy:success] - Preliminary investigations include the process of gathering, preparing, preserving and analyzing evidence.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Okay, let’s lay down some ground rules first." Kim says and picks his pen and notebook pack up. The pen finds its way against his bottom lip for a brief moment before Kim begins writing; "For the sake of this experiment, you are free to try and deduct a secret of mine. Any secret you feel will work for this experiment."

YOU - "YES!" You pump your fist in excitement. The pillow wobbles dangerously on your lap.

KIM KITSURAGI - Your enthusiasm is mirrored by a controlled nod and a smile from the lieutenant. "Good. If you are successful in your attempts, I will of course confirm the information to be true." Kim continues.

RHETORIC - Major emphasis on the word if.

INLAND EMPIRE [easy:success] - Anticipation is thick in the air.

KIM KITSURAGI - "After you have finished and we have confirmed the results to be either incorrect or correct, you will - in your own words, of course - demonstrate what methods you used to gain that information." He continues while carefully writing down his words. He dots off his notes with a sharp stab of a pen and gives you a quick glance to confirm the plan.

SAVOIR FAIRE - Like the superstar you are, you pull out your pair of finger guns and shoot bullets of confirmation up in the air. "We are ready to rock on our cocks!"

LOGIC - Still not correct.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Khm - good." Kim chuckles and doesn't correct you. "Then you may begin. Take your time."

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [easy:success] - You see how Kim shifts slightly on the couch; His posture is stiff, revealing some of the uncertainty hiding under his skin. He is not a man who enjoys being the center of attention to begin with, so the knowledge of being under your watchful eyes is somewhat unnerving.

SUGGESTION [challenging:success] - He may not believe you can read minds, but your gaze still has an effect on him.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - But Kim wants this. He wants to peel off yet another layer and get ever closer to your vast core, until there is nothing between you.

INLAND EMPIRE [legendary:success] - Lung to lung.

LOGIC [easy:success] - Your best course of action is to gain information that the lieutenant cannot rationalize by regular investigative measures. This includes information that could be deducted by your current surroundings, any recent conversations, or by taking educated guesses. It has to be something you should have absolutely no way of knowing.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Come on, his dirty hidden secret is perfect. Not only has he never shared that information with you, he hid it even from himself.

VOLITION - Normally I would advise against digging into such personal matters and instead waiting until Kim is ready to bring up the topic himself, but ... it is true that this information checks all the boxes for your current task. I hate to say it, but it works.

YOU - "Okay - okay." You mimic Kim and straighten your posture as well. You don’t know what to do with yourself, so you squeeze your hands into nervous fists against your thighs as you peek at Kim from under your brows. "I'm just going to - yeah."

DRAMA - Let the games begin, my liege!

THOUGHT GAINED - CONCEALED CURIOSITY

PROBLEM

In-control, direct, authoritarian, disciplined, and tidy. Those are just the few adjectives people use to describe Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi. But you know that’s just the surface level shit, vague assumptions people gather by passing by him on the street. Under the many carefully crafted layers hides an ample core of emotions and interests only you have been granted entrance to. You have been comfortable there, enjoying hearing about his interests and engaging in his life. But the time has come to dig deeper, peel off yet another layer, to see what hides even deeper.

COMPOSURE - You take a deep steadying breath before you start. The breath makes your nose whistle.

YOU - Okay, I’ll just - I won’t be weird about it. It’s just information, just regular info. I got this, I can handle info. I’m an info-cop.

AUTHORITY [easy:success] - You are a sorry-cop with a splash of art-cop. A truly horrible combination to deal with.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Mm just information you say. How's this for information; the lieutenant handcuffing you to the bed and whipping your dick.

ENDURANCE - Can you really handle it? Your abused heart is already speeding up again.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - A full-body shudder rocks your entire being.

YOU - Fuck - NO! - I got this! I got this. Let's get going and show him how it's done! What' the first step?

ESPRIT DE CORPS [easy:success] - Report and initial response. This is the time to assess the situation and review what information you already have.

VISUAL CALCULUS - While Kim was flipping through his notebook, you caught sight of a page with scribbled over sentences written on it. The hiding job was purposeful and meticulous. Blue ink covered the words in horizontal and vertical patterns, obstructing the words with extra care.

REACTION SPEED - Making sure it was completely illegible even if someone went through his notebook. Clever. Nothing gets past the lieutenant.

AUTHORITY - Except the human can-opener himself. Deduct the information! Reveal his secrets!

YOU - How do I know the information is - uh - bedroom related?

RHETORIC - Say sex, you pussy.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [medium:success] - Shame and arousal have infused the ink so strongly you can almost smell it. Uncertain fingers wrapped around the pen stabbed the paper with much more force than necessary, leaving deep creases against the following pages as well. Echoes of deep seated embarrassment are present in every letter.

DECYPHER THE SECRET
CONCEPTUALIZATION: 12

LOW: 17%

-1 Sorry cop

CONCEPTUALIZATION [impossible:failure] - Between the pages, under a heavy blanket of ink, a secret desire sleeps. The words are pressed into the paper with a burden of shame. You can’t make out much, except for a few snippets;

Su---st --itch--g? A-pr--ch ca-e--lly or -e di--ct? Be b-ld --ke h-m?

H-w to br--g -- t-e top--?

P-t --to wo--s --w at---cti-e he is.

M--e it ext-e--ly cl--r yo d-s--e his b--y t-e w-y -t is (be -ore --en, Ki-s---gi)

L--ve no r-om f-r do--- (mi--t sp---l in hi- h--d ot-e-w--e)

Ex---in be-rs? No, wi-l en- in a l-c---e a--ut an-m-ls.

Pro---ly fe-rs it h-rts. T-o mu-- for h-m? F--ls too m-scul-ne fo- su-h a th---? Do-s not enjoy being objectified? No, that's idiotic.

In--c-re a--ut -is bo-y? Mi-ht f-el unc--for-able. Or n-t, it's H--ry.

M-st li--ly ex--t-d, it's -e w-- is f--li-g e-ba--a-sed. Why?

I -m m--ing ex-us-s. T-is is s--pid.

YOU - That's not really helpful.

VOLITION - Not yet, you really didn’t expect this to be that easy, did you? Keep digging.

ESPRIT DE CORPS [medium:success] - The lieutenant doesn’t grimace when inspecting a corpse, he doesn’t hesitate when pulling out his gun, and his composure never wavers when interviewing a suspect. Out in the open the lieutenant is a machine; his every movement controlled by the protocol, his every emotion dictated by his perpetual composure.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - But in the face of emotional openness, Kim struggles. Feelings he has deemed selfish and unnecessary are kept close to his heart, ensuring nobody can use them to make a mockery of him. This keeps him safe at work but becomes troublesome after clocking out as a lieutenant and starting his shift as Kim; your partner.

VOLITION - There's a tendency for people to hide embarrassing information from each other. Much like how you were initially too embarrassed to ask him about which one of you would be on the receiving end during sex.

PAIN THRESHOLD - The memory of that conversation physically pains you. You feel bright red embarrassment painting your ears and cheeks, slowly dripping color down against your neck as well. A restless itch of shame tickless your entire body uncomfortably.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Is everything okay?" Kim asks hesitantly, breaking the silence. Your antics have crossed the line from amusing to concerning. His gaze is truly bewildered as he looks at you.

ESPRIT DE CORPS [medium:success] - The last time he saw someone turning that red was when Satellite Officer Vicquemare began choking on a piece of salami in the break room. The state of you is concerning enough to kick Kim's medical training into high gear.

LOGIC [easy:success] - And for a good reason. A man your age has very few reasons to be turning this red in the face, and none of them are exactly healthy. Kim probably thinks you are having a heart attack.

COMPOSURE - Convince him that nothing is wrong! Show no weakness!

CONVINCE KIM NOTHING IS WRONG
COMPOSURE: 4

LOW: 17%

-2 Past haunts you
-1 Still a sorry cop
-1 Red like a lobster
-1 Kim is worried

COMPOSURE [heroic:success] - That's right, everything is going according to the plan. You are the definition of calm and collected! If someone was to open a book about the most calm and collected people, you would be on page number one as a shining example.

YOU - The whirlwind storm of embarrassment raging inside of you calms into a peaceful silence. With complete calmness and finesse, you straighten your posture and cross your legs. "Mmh, all part of the process, Kim. The color of my face is simply a byproduct of the process. You simply wouldn't understand." you explain and allow your eyes to fall closed in demonstration of your calmness. Your hand gestures towards your still flushed face, presenting it like conclusive evidence.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - You hear an amused snort.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Khm, I see. Continue then, detective." Kim encourages your ridiculous antics with a smile. A slight muffle in his voice indicates that he is hiding his face behind a loose fist.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - Subduing his emotions is a habit Kim still struggles to combat even in your company. But the freshly blooming relationship between you has made a noticeable change in him, leading to occasional moments of emotional openness where he allows his expressions to shine.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [medium:success] - Remember the last time you got a taste of that gratifying laughter? Of course you do, it was during one of your bedroom rodeo sessions; your naked sweat coated body accidentally flopped over him like a beached whale while trying to reach for the lubricant. You knocked the wind and a ridiculous moan out of his lungs.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - A weighted blanket of pure masculinity and mass; enough to make any self-respecting man with good taste smile. The lieutenant’s bewildered grin was the only acceptable reaction to such a gift.

SAVOIR FAIRE - Elegant like a seal, agile like a walrus. Rolls of fat dancing on top of each other in front of Kim’s eyes.

YOU - Oh I get it, we are being sarcastic. Nice one, real nice. I'm old and fat and Kim probably wants to crush my balls. Ha-ha-ha.

REACTION SPEED [challenging:success] - Hold on. There is something more to this, don’t brush this thought off just yet.

YOU - What? No - You are just trying to embarrass me! Fuck this thought.

SUGGESTION [medium:success] - No no, I agree. There is something more to this. You should think this through.

YOU - You called me a walrus!

RHETORIC - Have you ever given thought as to why your rather unattractive fumble in the bedroom prompted Kim to react in such a way?

YOU - I'm a funny guy, I make him laugh. He just can't resist my physical comedy. What's there to think about?

SAVOIR FAIRE - You're practically a comedy-cop!

ESPRIT DE CORPS - No more copotypes.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [challenging:success] - Afterwards Kim insisted on giving you a blowjob. An extremely enthusiastic blowjob at that, proper sloppy toppy. He was swallowing you down like a man starving, sucking mercilessly around your cock while his hand was stroking his own.

YOU - You squeeze your eyes closed tighter; the red on your cheeks is there for a whole different reason now. The pillow on your lap is crying under your horny white-knuckled grasp that's getting dangerously tight.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - You want to talk about crying? What's really crying is your manhood under that pillow; It’s practically weeping from neglect.

YOU - Fuck okay I know! But it's hard to think like this! I - I don't know why he reacted like that, how is this even relevant?

ENCYCLOPEDIA [godly:failure] - Ursus arctos, more commonly known as the brown bear, is a large carnivorous mammal found on the isola of Katla. They are solitary animals and live mainly in thickly forested areas.

VOLITION - Oh great, look who woke up from their slumber.

YOU - Umh... okay? Thanks for that, I guess? I don't -

LOGIC [trivial:success] - You are not a bear, you are a human being, also known as Homo Sapiens.

AUTHORITY - Psssth - A homo, you got that right.

RHETORIC - This information is somehow even more useless than all that bullshit about Contact Mike. Maybe you should pick up a book every once in a while.

YOU - Hey, too far! You take that back, Contact Mike is a hero and an inspiration. Not only did he rise up in the world of boxing by -

ENCYCLOPEDIA [godly:success] - A bear is a term that originates from the homosexual underground. The term refers to hairier fat gay or bisexual men in the underground community, who typically project an image of rugged masculinity.

VOLITION - That makes much more sense. You are a bear after all, Harry. Just the cuddly fat kind certain homosexual men find extremely attractive.

YOU - Hold on - what? A bear is an animal but also a homo thing?

SUGGESTION - A needlessly crude way of voicing it, but yes. You can think of bears as a subgroup of the homosexual underground, if that makes understanding it easier.

SAVOIR FAIRE - Look at you, a disco bear! The apex predator of the dance floor, marking your territory with dangerously groovy moves and killer outfits! Go get them!

YOU - So what does that mean, then? Do I need to - Do I need to do something about this? Is there an official form I need to fill to join or -

VOLITION - No, you don't need to do anything. In fact, I recommend actively not doing anything about this.

SUGGESTION - Hard disagree! Kim is obviously interested in this, you can’t simply ignore a potential lead.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [challenging:success] - While discussing the arguably horrible bear fridge in Martinaise, the lieutenant indicated an interest towards the idea of you wrestling a bear. Behind those thick lenses his curious eyes glistened at the possibility of witnessing such an entertaining show. He was into the idea.

SAVOIR FAIRE - Bear vs bear, let's go at it! No forest teddy is a match for your deadly groove! Hit 'em with a slide and kick!

YOU - So... Kim's secret is that he likes fat hairy men?

RHETORIC [easy:success] - That doesn’t sound right. You are well aware that you are a man, fat, and hairy. It’s not something Kim would need to hide from you.

VISUAL CALCULUS - Kim looks at you with the utmost love and desire when you are together. He is endlessly enamored by you, but nothing about his behavior indicates that he is especially drawn to your body hair and fat. From your ridiculous facial hair to your painted toes, he adores all of you equally.

LOGIC [formidable:success] - Let’s be sensible here. Of course the lieutenant wouldn't draw excess attention to the parts of you that may trigger self-doubt. His personal desires are always last on his list of importance. He knows how a simple trigger might bring down the unstable foundation your self-esteem and sobriety stand on.

EMPATHY - Regular exercise, rest, and sticking to sobriety have helped immensely with your self-image, but despite your best efforts there are still days when your mind is able to only focus on the negative; your excessively aged features, the slight limp still lingering from the tribunal, and your fat lumpy body. But where there is self-doubt, so is Kim; swatting your judging thoughts away and hugging you tightly. "You are enough." he tells you.

YOU - By and large you are able to convince yourself to believe that. The way Kim wraps his hands around your thick middle while you paint is enough to temporarily push those thoughts down. His gentle subdued smiles warm your heart enough to make yourself believe that you make Kim happy. His quiet snoring during the night when you lay awake is calm enough to convince you that he is content in life.

AUTHORITY - For fuck sake, enough of dilly dallying around the issue, just fucking ask him! You are his superior, he has to answer.

COMPOSURE - Alright info-cop, remember that this is just information. Sexy information but still information, so keep your cool. Maybe ease into it first so Kim doesn’t clamp up.

YOU - "Kim. Do you like bears?" you blurt out, the question breaking the silence loudly like a gunshot.

COMPOSURE - Alright, then.

KIM KITSURAGI - "What?" The response falls from Kim's lips before he has time to even consider your question. He wasn't expecting you to speak just yet. "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?" he asks again and shifts ever-closer to you, this time visibly listening.

YOU - "Do you like bears?" You repeat, your tone flat.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [challenging:success] - That's what I thought you asked, Kim’s gaze says. The confused frown barely eases on his face; still utterly clueless as to what the topic has to do with anything. Despite now fearing that you have gotten completely sidetracked and wasted both of your time, he takes a moment to seriously ponder your odd question before answering.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Well... I have never seen one in the wild, so I don’t have a strong opinion on them. They are interesting animals, I suppose. I've read they lack natural predators in the wild and are becoming a problem in more rural areas of Katla." Kim finally says after some thinking. His answer is as analytical as ever, even including a fact he most likely got from a book.

CONCEPTUALIZATION [legendary:success] - In his mind, Kim is vigorously trying to conjure an image of a realistic bear, but flashes of the horrifying cellar bear fridge you two encountered keeps assaulting his mind. He absolutely hates that thing.

KIM KITSURAGI - Now more amused than anything, Kim can’t hold in his curiosity any longer; "I promised to leave the questioning for when you were finished but... why exactly are you asking about my opinion on animals?" He asks, a bewildered smile tugging on the corners of his mouth.

YOU - "Well -"

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [heroic:success] - Hold on - that look in his eyes; you are being played. His expression is a facade! Visible tension in his temple and the abnormally strained wrinkles around his smile give it away.

VISUAL CALCULUS [godly:success] - Indeed, your question about bears has successfully planted the seed of unease in Kim's mind. His humorous words and cheerful smile are simply a well-trained defense mechanism attempting to feign casualness. But behind that ironclad mask a wave of questionable imagery of you flooded his mind the moment the word "bear" left your lips.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [legendary:success] - Not just any images; proper spank bank material!

Get this, he is imagining you without a shirt, sweat trickling down your juicy chest, the droplets disappearing between thick hairs. The sinful curve of your belly hanging over your tight pants, tucked inside a slim fit collar shirt which only accentuates your shapes flashes in his mind. Oh - and of course the delicious way your muscles pulse under your skin while you lift weights and groan like a wild animal. That’s one of his favorites.

LOGIC - I was mistaken, you are quite close to an Ursus Arctos after all.

CONCEPTUALIZATION [heroic:success] - Suddenly, your mind is flooded with the images Kim is harboring deep inside his head; You see yourself, but something isn't right.

Instead of the washed out creature past his prime you face every time you gaze at a reflective surface, you see someone completely different; A rugged man bathing in the sunlight, his colorful disco top glittering under the warm rays.

His muscular legs are wrapped tightly in bell-bottom pants that rise high on his waist, hugging his curves pleasantly.

The sequin top he is wearing leaves nothing to imagination, its tight hold presenting the man's soft middle like a beautifully wrapped present. Curly hairs peek under the low shirt collar and decorate his thick arms all the way to his knuckles, making him look warm.

His already angular face is made only more masculine by his ridiculously thick mutton chops that connect to his slicked back hair like a lion’s mane. The deep wrinkles and scars on his face radiate masculinity; past battles and sacrifices he has overcome.

YOU - Oh god - I - wha - what the fuck.

VOLITION - That’s just how Kim sees you, Harry. His eyes are not like yours in more ways than one.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - Where you see insecurities and reminders of your past, Kim sees features to worship. He truly loves all of you inside and out, and the robustness of those emotions frightens him sometimes. Kim is not a man of strong emotions, and the way you make him feel is truly uncontrollable, ever-consuming, unstoppable.

INLAND EMPIRE - Like the pale. Endlessly fascinating and sometimes frightening, but always ever-consuming.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oooh yeah baby! Rough, feral, thick; that's what the lieutenant is all about. That foundation of muscle covered by delicious fat makes his knees weak and he wants to take this animal for a ride. His dick up your ass -

AUTHORITY - Absolutely fucking not!

YOU - You audibly gulp. Kim wants to -

ENCYCLOPEDIA [easy:success] - A "bottom" is the partner who is usually the recipient of penetration during anal sex in a homosexual relationship.

YOU - Wait so, Kim wants me to - but I'm bigger so shouldn't I - he wants to - ?

SUGGESTION - Naturally. This should hardly be a surprise. So far Kim has been on the receiving end during sex in your still developing relationship, a role he is quite accustomed to. But that doesn't mean the idea of switching doesn’t appeal to him. Especially if that switch puts your entire weight on top of him for him to enjoy.

ENCYCLOPEDIA [easy:success] - Cowboy is a sexual position in which the receiving partner sits astride the giver.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - All of you; your thick thighs working overtime pushing your heavy body up and down on top of him. The movement making the soft parts of you bounce in a delicious rhythm as sweat paints your curves like the most luxurious canvas.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - While surely physically extremely arousing, the emotional significance of Kim's fantasy is just as impactful. What he is requesting is a whole new level of vulnerability and openness you can't remember ever experiencing.

VOLITION - That's because you haven't. There was always something shielding you; alcohol, drugs, pain, whatever it took to keep yourself from feeling anything meaningful.

YOU - Right, fuck - he - fuck he is really into me, huh? Into all... this. But Kim is - he is so fit and -

LOGIC [easy:success] - Opposites attract, it's not really a hard concept to grasp.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - He would kill a man to get a taste of those love-handles, baby!

COMPOSURE - You are squeezing the pillow like it's the only thing keeping you together. The knowledge that Kim doesn’t only tolerate your body, doesn’t only want your body, but practically drools after your body for all the reasons you dislike it is dizzying. Even if presented with multiple options, Kim would still immediately choose your overweight and oddly-shaped build over everyone else.

RHETORIC [medium:failure] - Then why hasn't he told you this? Why hide something so ordinary?

INLAND EMPIRE - Too reckless, far too shameful. Uncontrollable feelings of pure selfish lust and unnecessary desire. Better pushed down from prying eyes and judging faces.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - These are actions of a man so repressed, that even mutely writing down his emotions is too much to bear.

ENCYCLOPEDIA [formidable:success] - Ursus arctos, more commonly known as the brown bear, is a large carniv-

VOLITION - No - wrong type of bear again. Seriously Harry, more literature, less picture books. This guy needs some proper enrichment.

LOGIC [challenging:success] - There might be past experiences adding to his shame. Previous partners have likely mocked his preferences and framed them as embarrassing.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Embarrassing? This? Thanks to your enlightening homosexual underground research, you could immediately name twenty sexual interests freakier than Kim's thirst for crusty overweight men. In light of everything you know about Kim, his desires are honestly shockingly normal.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - As a friendly warning, there is still a high chance that Kim is also interested in more unconventional fetishes. This is something that will likely be brought up later as your relationship continues to develop.

AUTHORITY - STOP THIS BULLSHIT RIGHT NOW! Do not tell me you are even considering it! You are NOT taking a cock up your ass. This faggot shit has gone way too far, once you cross this line there is no coming back.

PAIN TOLERANCE - Could you even take it? Would you physically survive the experience? Or will a fellow officer need to write "ass exploded from cock" as the cause of death on your autopsy form?

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - What a ridiculous question! Of course you can take it, your supreme physical being is a fine-tuned instrument just waiting to be ridden. The real question is if the lieutenant can survive the ride.

YOU - Fuck - I will happily die with a dick up my ass, are you kidding me?! Kim thinks I’m the sexiest man in Jamrock!

ESPRIT DE CORPS [medium:success] - The case has been solved, detective. Now all that remains is filling your partner in.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - You will be the one being filled in tonight, superstar!

DRAMA - Touché!

VOLITION - Go on then, detective. Do the honors and piece it all together.

DECYPHER THE SECRET
CONCEPTUALIZATION: 12

HIGH: 97%

+3 Know Kim’s secret
+1 Managed to sneak a peek
+2 Learned about bears
+1 Born to be a bottom

CONCEPTUALIZATION [godly:success] - A familiar notebook opens in your mind. The pages fly past you at a dizzying speed until coming to a sudden stop; Kim’s secret. You see the cover of ink beginning to peel off, revealing the hidden words underneath one by one.

Suggest switching? Approach carefully or be direct? Be bold like him?

How to bring up the topic?

Put into words how attractive he is.

Make it extremely clear you desire his body the way it is (be more open, Kitsuragi).

Leave no room for doubt (might spiral in his head otherwise)

Explain bears? No, will end in a lecture about animals.

Probably fears it hurts. Too much for him? Feels too masculine for such a thing? Does not enjoy being objectified? No, that’s idiotic.

Insecure about his body? Might feel uncomfortable. Or not, it’s Harry.

Most likely excited, it’s me who is feeling embarrassed. Why?

I am making excuses. This is stupid.

BREAKTHROUGH - CONCEALED CURIOSITY

SOLUTION

Big, heavy, hairy, and burly. Those are just a few features Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi appreciates in you. The speedfreak in him demands danger and action, constantly fighting against control and rules. It whispers into his ear on the open road, tempting him to pull the Kineema’s s gas lever lower and lower until the vehicle is shrieking under his control. Stop sucking in your stomach, take off your shirt, get on top, and allow the lieutenant to take you for the ride of your life until you are screaming too.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - A scorching wave of heat has now overtaken your face. Your cheeks and neck are boiling, almost suffocating you. Sweat trickling down your chest is no longer just a fantasy image inside Kim’s head, you can feel the very real humid wetness gathering between your pecs. It’s s a miracle there is enough blood to even color your face, because most of it has gone straight to your now aching dick.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - Being able to peek behind that meticulously maintained control is almost too much; the admiring perspective Kim holds to his heart is so far away from how you see yourself it's paralyzing.

ENDURANCE - Keep holding the pillow buddy.

RHETORIC - Realistically, you had to have known the lieutenant fostered a certain level of attraction towards you, despite your gargantuan body and alarming amount of body hair. But now your mind has been opened to the reality that these are the exact elements that bring him to his knees.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Harry?" Kim's voice, faint and distant. He is trying to pull you back from the depths of your mind. His hand is waving up and down in front of your eyes, trying to reach you.

INLAND EMPIRE [medium:success] - Don’t disappear on me.

YOU - Slowly, the gentle sway of Kim’s hand clears your vision; The glossy veil falls from your eyes and you are grounded once more. A pair of sharp brown eyes are observing you closely, assessing your return.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim’s face softens, part of his worries immediately washing away as your gaze flashes with familiar recognition once more. He smiles faintly and allows his hand to rest back on his thigh. "I believe you were going to say something?"

YOU - Still red in the face and recovering from the bombshell revelation, you flash a crooked grin at him, hoping to put the rest of his concerns to rest. "Oh - sorry, I got distracted. What were we - Bears! Bears." you chuckle awkwardly.

ENDURANCE - Nervous energy and arousal are bubbling inside you like a volcano ready to erupt. You try to release some of the building pressure by fiddling with your fingers.

KIM KITSURAGI - Your grin gets acknowledged by an inquisitive eyebrow. "I must admit, I wasn't aware you felt that strongly about bears. Perhaps there is something more here, such as a past with animal conservation?" Kim says with impressive stoicism.

EMPATHY [easy:success] - He is joking.

RHETORIC [formidable:success] - Don't be fooled, he is joking to hide his nervousness. Focus on your objective here; confronting the lieutenant with the information you have gained.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Step aside pussies, talking time is over, the time has come for ACTION!

YOU - Huh?

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - The time to turn the tides. To take this to the next level. To seduce him! What you have in your possession is a one-way VIP ticket to lieutenant Kitsuragi sex town; your body and the knowledge of how thirsty he is for it.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Words are obsolete when your body can do the talking. Give the lieutenant what he has always wanted. Present him with your irresistible build and watch as he succumbs to his desires.

DRAMA - The perfect opportunity presents itself, sire! You mustn't let it go! Capture this moment and forever bask in its glory! Stun the lieutenant with not only your unbeatable detective abilities, but your irresistible charms!

YOU - Okay - yeah yeah - I got this!

KIM KITSURAGI - A small, and quite obvious, part of Kim is visibly disappointed that his joke didn't get a reaction out of you. But noticing that something new is already afoot in your endlessly bustling mind, he quickly collects himself in favor of observing what’s to come.

YOU - You straighten your back and give your hair a smooth-over with both of your hands, putting your entire body into the motion. Like a velvety wave, your back bends in a beautiful curve as your arms follow the motion all the way to the back of your head where they stay, framing your face like a crown. To secure your victory, you add an extra arch to your bend; your belly pushing out towards Kim like an open invite.

SAVOIR FAIRE - From the shell of a freshly sober career alcoholic, blooms a creature bursting with confidence and sex appeal. Your deep insecurities no longer weigh you down, instead lifting you up into new heights. You have never felt lighter and more like yourself.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Confusion falls on Kim’s face first. The sudden mood change catches him off guard, enough for him to lay down his pen. His eyes are studying you, waiting to see what’s behind your odd antics this time.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Khm - is there something I can help you with?" Kim asks, an amused smile now spreading on his face. Clearly there is something on your mind and he wouldn’t want to miss it for the world. He straightens his posture as well, pausing the note-taking for the time being.

YOU - "Well yes, Kim, there is something you can help me with." you grin while giving your long hair a flick you hope looks seductive. "You see, I have successfully found you out. In my head I hold a top level lieutenant Kitsuragi secret I gained with nothing but pure can-opening and skill!" You reveal with the most dramatic arm motions you can muster.

SAVOIR FAIRE - YES! Keep going superstar!

KIM KITSURAGI - "Mm, is that so?" Kim muses and closes his notebook. The book stays on his lap as he crosses his arms over his chest and cocks his head to the side; "Do tell me, detective. Which scandalous secret have you uncovered?"

PERCEPTION (HEARING) [medium:success] - He is unable to keep the smugness and confidence from seeping into his voice. Despite your earlier success in rattling him, the lieutenant still stands secure in his belief that his secrets are safe.

COMPOSURE - Oh, but that doesn’t matter. You have this one in the bag.

YOU - You flash a toothy grin at Kim like the apex predator you are. "Gladly." With your confidence through the roof, your words flow from your lips with exceptional ease; "A bear, also known as Ursus arctos is a large carnivorous mammal found on the isola of Katla." you explain, pointing your index finger towards the ceiling.

LOGIC [easy:success] - You saw Heidelstam pull that move once while going on endlessly about art history. That single finger radiated so much wisdom and knowledge, it made even his endless rambling sound positively enlightening.

KIM KITSURAGI - Immediately, the smug smile on Kim’s face falls. Bears, again? He is now more confident than ever that somewhere along the way you got distracted by irrelevant information, completely sidetracking the entire experiment.

SUGGESTION - Keep going lover-boy, he is going to be completely caught off guard.

YOU - "But..." you knock off the disappointment from Kim’s face with a single word.

KIM KITSURAGI - His eyebrows raise in anticipation. Dare he hope you are actually going somewhere with this?

YOU - "I now know that bear is also a term from the homosexual underground used to describe a specific type of man; a fat - hairy - man!" Each word gets hit with heavy emphasis like a hammer striking hot iron, only fueling your confidence. Your brows lower as your grin widens. The powerful finger of knowledge now rises above your head.

INLAND EMPIRE - An immediate shift in the air; unease.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Despite your bombshell revelation Kim’s face is stone, his expression entirely unmovable. Those well-trained facial muscles refuse to react to your words.

VISUAL CALCULUS [challenging:success] - But his eyes betray him. You see a drop of concern sending ripples in those deep dark pools. He knows what’s coming.

YOU - "Aaand..." you can't resist stretching out the final strike a little longer.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim stands his ground, not giving you the satisfaction of showing his true emotions. His eyes stay on you, still attempting to portray a man unbothered.

YOU - In a mighty swing, your finger comes down from the skies and stops directly across Kim, pointing at him; "Which just happens to be something the famous lieutenant Kitsuragi is extremely attracted to." your smug grin only widens as you bask in the moment. "You may be a lean mean law machine, but secretly, you cannot get enough of my fat-ass."

DRAMA - Flawless execution my liege! Truly a powerful performance!

KIM KITSURAGI - In stunned silence, Kim keeps staring at you. It’s as if his very soul has frozen in shock. No words leave his mouth even as his jaw opens in disbelief. You aren’t sure if he is even breathing.

INLAND EMPIRE [challenging:success] - Two roads now present themselves in front of the lieutenant. One, a familiar one he has walked all his life, invites him to keep pretending. The other, a road he has walked on with you a few times now, calls for him to let go and hold your hand into the unknown.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - The sexy unknown!

YOU - The silence stretches. Your finger that was pointed towards Kim so confidently a mere minute ago now begins to waver in uncertainty; Were you wrong? Did you go too far?

RHETORIC [challenging:success] - No, no, this is Kim-don’t-you-welcome-me-to-revachol Kitsuragi. He would not hold back if you insulted him.

HALF LIGHT - You broke his fucking brain, idiot.

LOGIC [easy:success] - Incorrect. It's much more likely that the lieutenant is so surprised by the revelation that he needs a moment to calculate his next move.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - A part of him must be concerned if you, like people from his past, will make a mockery of his personal desires.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Slowly, you notice cracks in Kim's toughened exterior beginning to show. His previously relaxed brows furrow above his slowly widening eyes. Confronted by your unpredictable statement, his ears begin burning red.

RHETORIC - He knows it's over. There is no room for denial, he has lost.

VOLITION - There are no losers here, only two winners. Now come on, take it home loverboy.

KIM KITSURAGI - "How..." Kim begins but is unable to finish the question. His eyes drift down, weighed by the utter confusion pooling in them. You can practically hear the swarm of questions buzzing in his brain.

ESPRIT DE CORPS [medium:success] - Where did I make a mistake? What clue did I miss? How did I give it away? The lieutenant’s mind is a checklist he is unable to fill.

YOU - Practically beaming with pride, you soak in Kim’s bewilderment. You cross your arms over your puffed out chest and hitch your chin up, waiting for Kim to make the next move.

KIM KITSURAGI - After a brief moment of failing to reason with his new reality, Kim’s rattled gaze slowly lifts up to meet your smug face. The color of his ears only deepens as your eyes meet.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [medium:failure] - His whole demeanor has changed. Embarrassed? Uncertain? Angry? You can’t quite tell.

LOGIC [easy:success] - Obviously he is embarrassed. You just used mind magic to fish out his sexual desires.

KIM KITSURAGI - Despite his palpable embarrassment, Kim still takes the time to gather himself; he slicks back his hair, straightens his posture, and adjusts his glasses. If he is going to be discussing this with you, he is at least going to do so while looking presentable.

YOU - You keep doing the only thing you are able to when faced with his coolness; you smile.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim clears his throat and crosses his arms over his chest. "I - I don’t understand how you -" he stammers, obvious distaste for his predicament straining his voice. A bewildered frown is now casting a shadow over his confused gaze.

COMPOSURE [trivial:success] - The topic is making Kim exceedingly uncomfortable, but despite this, he is pushing through.

EMPATHY [easy:success] - Because he wants to.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [medium:success] - Kim’s gaze is unfocused, his whole demeanor rattled. His arms are still crossed over his chest like a protective hug. Warmth keeps radiating from his burning ears, threatening to spill over into his neck.

SHIVERS [formidable:success] - Under candlelight, two men sit on the edge of a worn couch. Their laughter is filling the dark room like a pleasant melody. Smoke from their cigarettes surrounds their close bodies, wrapping them in a cocoon of smoke. Slowly, one of them leans in for a kiss, which his partner accepts with a smile.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim lets out a deep sigh and presses a finger between his knit brows. His eyes close but the frustration remains etched into his wrinkles. "Khm... I don’t see how you could have ever... no matter that now." Kim cuts himself off mid sentence.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - Something is bothering him more than the many questions burning in his mind; something that must be addressed first.

SUGGESTION - Don’t interrupt him, be a good boy.

YOU - You will be the best boy.

AUTHORITY - For fuck sake, get a grip! What gives him the right to speak over you! TELL HIM TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

VOLITION - You are not doing that. You don’t actually want to do that.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim averts his gaze again; "For what it's worth, yes, you are correct." he admits, his expression tense from the uncomfortable admission. "I suppose it's fair to say my preferences in men are ... unusual." his gaze seeks refuge against your apartment walls as he speaks.

INTERFACING [easy:success] - Much like his gun and Kineema, the lieutenant views his body as a tool to fight crime. He takes pride in keeping it in good shape.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - What the hell is that supposed to mean? You are in shape too; recovery shape. The extra weight has not slowed you down the slightest, you still outrun every asshole at the precinct.

RHETORIC - But let’s not pretend you haven’t gained a significant amount of weight. You can check off part of it as healthy recovery weight, but the remaining kilos are the result of your endlessly hedonistic desire for instant satisfaction and a need to replace the void left by alcohol with something consumable.

LOGIC [easy:success] - Fat is not often something people tend to find attractive.

VOLITION - And why does that matter, exactly? You find Kim attractive and he finds you - all of you - attractive. That’s all you should be focusing on.

YOU - "Unusual." you repeat. Kim’s comment makes you belly laugh, low and rumbling. Unusual is definitely one of the nicer adjectives to describe you, and only Kim would go through the trouble of picking such a positive word to express your flaws.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Your laughter is infectious, prompting Kim to huff out a breathy chuckle as well. His voice still wavers with uncertainty.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - Despite finding new levels of freedom in your wildly colorful company, a compulsive need to fit in with the masses still holds him back from fully embracing his every side.

YOU - "Kim, seriously, literally everything about me - about us - is unusual." You beam a smile. An almost unbearable warmth pools in your lungs at those words. "I figured you had already noticed that." You gesture up and down your entire being, highlighting the offensively clashing colors in your outfit proudly.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim’s dark eyes follow your movements. "Fair point." he chuckles while shaking his head. His eyes drift down, now gazing at the notebook on his lap.

He keeps staring at the book, as if dissecting its content through the covers. Something is clearly still gnawing at him. "I apologize, I don't mean to indicate I’m embarrassed to be with you. It is just..." he sighs and rubs between his brows again, frustrated with his own emotions.

AUTHORITY - He will not be elaborating further on this point.

SUGGESTION [challenging:success] - Whatever happened between him and the men from his past has no room in this conversation.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - It's not just his own past experiences bothering him, there is something else.

KIM KITSURAGI - The silence stretches as Kim gathers his thoughts. Finally, there is a subdued sigh before he continues; "And you are ... not bothered by this?" he asks and looks at you from under his brows. "The last thing I want is for you to feel objectified or fetishied." Kim reveals, holding his eyes locked on yours.

EMPATHY [challenging:success] - He knows how gross that feels. Having a part of you lusted after, as if your entire being is just a vessel for someone else to fulfill their selfish fantasy.

YOU - "Are you kidding me?" You yelp, loud enough to startle Kim. "Kim Kimmo Kimmy Kimothy -" you blabber nonsensically and lean towards him, your eyes burning with uncontrollable excitement.

KIM KITSURAGI - In tandem, as if connected by an invisible string, Kim begins tilting back against the couch. His eyes are wide, searching your expression for answers for what’s to come. Your large body looms over his leaner one, slowly covering him.

REACTION SPEED - The pillow! It's going to fall!

CATCH THE PILLOW
REACTION SPEED: 4

LOW: 32%

-1 Too focused on Kim
-1 Horny

REACTION SPEED [challenging:failure] - You make a haphazard grasp for the pillow as it slides off your crotch, but for no avail. The pillow tumbles off the couch, landing on the floor with a soft thump.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Who cares about the gay pillow, your manhood is a gift to be shared!

YOU - You stall only when Kim is fully laying down against the armrest, with you on all fours above him. "Kim..." you repeat his name once more, voice filled with affection. "I'm m so good, so disco. I want this. I want you to want this ... to want me." you assure with a smile. "Without any embarrassment or shame."

AUTHORITY - Taking the lead and being on top, this feels right. Why you ever allowed the lieutenant to be the one crawling on you until this point is beyond reason. This is where you belong!

CONCEPTUALIZATION [medium:success] - Examining closer, a whirlwind of emotions are hidden within Kim’s rigid features. His brows are scrunched rightly together in an inner debate over the situation. His lips, shiny from being wetted in expectation of a kiss, are at a loss for words. But above all, in his eyes, pure honest want.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh he does want you. He reeeaally wants you.

YOU - Full of pride, love, and steadily growing arousal, you lean in and steal a quick kiss. "Listen, I know I promised to explain the whole can-opening to you but..." your smile turns into a pleading grin. "I would really like to make out right now. Tear it down sloppy style. Urgently."

SAVOIR FAIRE - Hoping to seal the deal, you channel your inner ursus by flashing a toothy grin and giving your sturdy belly a good slap.

SUGGESTION - An open invite for a dangerous game of lust and desire.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Kim’s eyes don’t leave yours. In fact, he is actively fighting against acknowledging the display you are putting on. The only indication your antics are having any effect on him are his hands now clenched into tight fists.

KIM KITSURAGI - There is silence as Kim weighs opinions in his mind. To your surprise, you see his soft gaze growing worryingly serious at each passing second; "I can appreciate your - khm - predicament, but the experiment is far from over. You have only posed a theory, there is still work to do." Kim insists firmly. He fixes his glasses, the lenses catching the light in a quick flash.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - WHAT?!

YOU - Your smile crash lands off your face. A defeated mixture of sorrow and frustration paints your drooping features in a pitiful display. Your mouth is left flapping uselessly in a complete loss of words.

COMPOSURE - You are barely able to hold your self-esteem from shattering like a beaten bathroom mirror.

HALF LIGHT - You knew this was coming. Did you really think he was attracted to your bloated body? He was playing you for a fool!

KIM KITSURAGI - "Well, Detective?" Kim asks again, completely ignoring your distress. He caresses your bicep with a playful touch. "Aren't you going to confirm if your findings are correct?" He challenges as a smirk takes over his face. "You know a verbal confession alone isn't enough for a solid conclusion."

LOGIC [trivial:failure] - What?

YOU - "What?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "You also need physical evidence. Do you understand what I'm saying, detective?"

VOLITION - He is joking around, Harry. Now come on, Kim is waiting for you to make your move.

YOU - The rusty gears turn in your head and finally slot in place with a heavy clunk. Instantly, a delighted smile overtakes your face. Your soft cheeks rise high, squishing your eyes into squinted slits. Your jaw twists as the crooked grin only widens.

EMPATHY [trivial:success] - A smile entirely pure, born from the little joys of life. At the very center of it all; Kim. The man who makes everything worth it.

HALF LIGHT - You are a horrible person. A criminal. The face who torments your victims during restless nights. What makes you think you deserve any of this?

VOLITION - Not now.

YOU - The game is back on. "Physical evidence, hm?" You muse with a pretend expression of deep thought on your face. You drift your gaze up towards the ceiling, as if your profound thoughts are floating up there.

KIM KITSURAGI - Amused at your eagerness to play along, Kim rewards you with a smug grin. His gaze studies your expression, no doubt trying to calculate what your next move could be.

SHIFT GEARS
HAND/EYE COORDINATION: 7

HIGH: 93%

+1 On the top
+1 Taking the lead
+1 Know about bears

HAND/EYE COORDINATION [formidable:success] - Utilizing the brief opening in Kim’s ever-alert gaze, you maneuver your knee between his legs, pressing it firmly against his crotch.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Mph - !" Your boldness successfully catches Kim off guard. He moans in surprise before covering his mouth with his hand. Shocked, his wide-eyes stare at you in a mixture of arousal and exasperation.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - He isn’t hard.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - Yet.

INTERFACING [medium:success] - You know how it is, starting up an old motor takes time and care. But once that old boy gets going, the ride will be worth it.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [medium:success] - Don’t be deterred, other signs of arousal are painted all across Kim’s face for you to enjoy. His blown wide pupils are like bottomless pools rippling in the rhythm of his exhilarated breaths. The burning on his ears is only intensifying as you stare him down.

SAVOIR FAIRE - He finds your audacity and confidence flabbergasting.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - And arousing.

YOU - Only empowered by Kim’s positive reaction, you reach out to gently tug his clasped fingers with your own, asking him to remove his hand and grant you access to his mouth.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim blinks, before slowly lowering his hand. His mouth is pressed into a thin line. "This ... revelation of yours has given you quite the confidence streak." Kim comments dryly but makes no effort to move.

SUGGESTION - You're very used to how Kim enjoys teasing you with his act of pretend nonchalance.

YOU - Grinning, you wet your lips. "I'm just following my hot homo bear instincts." you chuckle.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim looks at you with a joyfully smug smile and heavily lidded eyes; "Mm, you're ridiculous." Kim chuckles while sneaking his arms behind your neck, lovingly tangling his fingers between your hair.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Don't make him pull you into a kiss, do it yourself!

YOU - You don’t need to be told twice; You lower yourself to your elbows and push your mouth onto Kim’s harshly. You feel his firm body against your soft one, enjoying how firm he feels under you.

EMPATHY [easy:success] - Strong enough to lean on.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim welcomes your touch with open arms. The moment your lips connect, he pulls you deeper into the kiss. A satisfied exhale leaves Kim’s nose as your soft body engulfs his.

SUGGESTION - Your bodies slot together like puzzle pieces.

INLAND EMPIRE - Two vastly different physical embodiments of healing finding solace in each other.

YOU - You moan into Kim’s mouth in bliss. Your eyes close as the kissing intensifies, and you find yourself grasping the back of Kim’s head in an attempt to draw him even closer.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim chuckles at your enthusiasm and tilts his head slightly to deepen the kiss. His fingers are gripping your back, wrinkling your shirt.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - There's a tremble to his touch, nervous excitement that's bubbling to the surface.

VOLITION - See? It's not so scary taking the lead. Kim can hold his own, he's got you.

YOU - Fueled by lust and confidence, you rub your knee against Kim's crotch again.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim rewards your ballsy move with a muffled moan and a delicious grind of his hips against your knee. He opens his mouth more to deepen the kiss with shocking boldness.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [easy:success] - Mmh yes, Kim tastes like smoke and masculinity. Like sucking on a freshly fired gun barrel.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Suddenly, your train of thought is interrupted by a firm press against your shoulder. Kim is pushing against you, asking you to give him space.

EMPATHY - That one touch is all it takes. Familiar anxiety immediately returns and begins gnawing in the back of your mind. You thought both of you were enjoying the moment. What happened?

YOU - You steal one last kiss before hesitantly leaning back. Anticipating that something is wrong, you immediately begin scanning Kim for signs of distress or anger. Maybe you can figure out what you did wrong before he can even speak up.

VOLITION - Oh Harry, there is no need for that. Let him speak.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [easy:success] - Kim is still laying under you, his hands now caressing your forearms. Instead of a look of displease, you find his gaze soft and visibly aroused. His ears have only deepened in color. You notice round smudges on his lenses left by your forehead.

KIM KITSURAGI - Your distress must be painted clearly on your face because Kim proceeds to give your bicep a reassuring squeeze. His voice is low when he speaks; "While I’m greatly enjoying this..." he smiles and allows his gaze to slide across your body. "We are far too old to have sex on the couch. Go have a shower and I’ll prepare the things."

YOU - "But -" you try and argue.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Tsk." Kim immediately interrupts and presses a finger against your lips. His smile is of a man who knows exactly what you are trying to pull.

SUGGESTION [challenging:success] - Your begging is his weak spot. If he lets your whining go on, you will eventually successfully wear him out.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Not on the couch." he repeats, more stern this time but still smiling. He gives your belly a playful tap and nudges his head towards your bathroom: "Shower. Clean yourself thoroughly."

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Oh that’s new. That’s new and very nice. Your belly quivers under the ticklish touch.

YOU - You freeze and look at Kim with a serious wide-eyed stare. "Do that again. Please."

KIM KITSURAGI - Your serious expression shocks a burst of laughter out of Kim. He fights to suppress it against his fist while crows' feet blossom in the corner of his eyes.

EMPATHY [legendary:success] - Oh, how I love this ridiculous man, Kim thinks. Your ability to approach everything with unbarred enthusiasm still mystifies him, but he feels truly blessed by the ease it provides him.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Khm." Kim tries to compose himself but a flustered smile remains on his face. "I will. Once you have showered."

AUTHORITY - Useless. That’s what you are, useless! You are allowing your inferior to order you around!

YOU - In defeat, you let out a miserable whine and drag yourself off of Kim like a clingy lapdog. There is no winning this fight, but that doesn't mean you won’t do your absolute best to make your displeasure with the defeat known.

DRAMA - What a gut wrenching display, sire! The injustice of your situation is enough to make a grown man cry!

KIM KITSURAGI - "Very dramatic." Kim remarks flatly before hoisting himself up from the couch. Before leaving, he turns to you and leans in to kiss on your forehead, his mouth still curved into a loving smile while doing so.

INLAND EMPIRE [heroic:success] - A late summer evening, grass tickling your bare toes. Everywhere you look, sunflowers taller than you dance like a sea of yellow. Suddenly, you feel someone lifting you up with a pair of loving hands. The sea of sunflowers is now below you, stretching impossibly far. She places a kiss on your forehead and smiles. "It’s time to go inside, Harrier."

EMPATHY [medium:success] - Sweet delight bubbles in your chest. Your lungs feel light enough to float you high up to the sky.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - You know who also likes forehead kisses? Babies. You are a baby. A weird muscular fat baby.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Alright, come to the bedroom when you are ready." Kim says and gives your cheek a gentle brush. His fingers slide off slowly, caressing your facial hair while doing so.

YOU - You remain on the couch, watching as swaying steps lead Kim into your dark bedroom. The smell of sunflowers still remains, tickling your nose.

VOLITION [formidable:success] - You can’t remember her face or name, but you know she loved you endlessly.

EMPATHY [easy:success] - So does Kim, and he is all you have now.

SUGGESTION - Off you go, then. Don’t keep him waiting.

Chapter Text

YOU - Your skin is still steaming from the hot shower as you peek your head into your dark bedroom.

KIM KITSURAGI - You find Kim sitting on the edge of your bed, gazing out the window. The flickering sodium lights outside give his beautiful features a golder frame.

YOU - The sight catching your breath.

KIM KITSURAGI - Hearing this, Kim’s head turns towards you.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [easy:success] - There is something next to him on the bed; a familiar bottle of lubricant and a pair of latex gloves. A black towel only reserved for your bedroom escapades has been laid down neatly on the bed, awaiting you. The sight sends nervous jitters through your body.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim scans you with his eyes and smiles at the sight. It’s painfully obvious even to him, that in your eagerness you barely took the time to dry yourself. His eyes follow the drops of water dripping from your still soaked hair as they glide across your skin.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Rhythmic tip tip tip tip echoes in the silent bedroom as the droplets fall on the floor.

LOGIC [medium:success] - If this was his apartment, he would tell you to go back and dry up.

YOU - You grin sheepishly and slick back your hair, sending droples flying behind you as well. Your other hand keeps squeezing the towel around your waist.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Khm…” Kim clears his throat and gets up. A teasing smile dances on his lips, tempting you. Sly steps lead him towards you until there’s room only for nervous breaths between your connecting bodies. You feel Kim’s hands reach out and grab the towel around your waist.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - A thrilling shiver rocks you from inside out. Your wet skin feels cold after the shower, but a growing warmth is slowly heating you up from the inside.

YOU - Kim asks permission with a gentle tug. You answer mutely and release your hold on the towel. Now vulnerable and naked, you barely have time to react before a soft cotton veil covers your eyes.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) [trivial:success] - Your damp cotton towel. Kim is using it to dry you.

HALF LIGHT - He is suffocating you!

SUGGESTION - No, no, this is nice. The way Kim is gently drying your hair, taking his time to massage your scalp with tender movements, is relaxing. You can feel tension leaving your body as his loving hands rub circles in your hair. 

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - A deep satisfied growl escapes your lips. You hear a chuckle in response.

KIM KITSURAGI - “I know you are eager… but please.” Kim folds the towel on your head enough to see your face. “You don’t need water damage in your apartment.” He smiles in his own subdued way and cups your face with his hands.

YOU - You grin back with an unapologetically wide smile. “Does wet hair ruin the look for you?”

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim raises an eyebrow, still smiling; “No. What it ruins is your wooden flooring.”

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Are you serious? You’re with your dick out in your bedroom. Who gives a shit about floorboards right now?! More stroking and less talking!

RHETORIC - The lieutenant does and so should you. His mind isn’t clouded by dick, and instead practices rational thinking.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - This is his way of caring. Hear his words, feel his touch, let the love seep through your abused skin into your lungs.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - And take his dick up your ass - urgently!

YOU - You let out a happy huff through your nose and gaze deeply into Kim’s eyes. This practical man rigid from social expectations now stands in your bedroom holding your face, openly waiting to share yet another new experience with you.

COMPOSURE - Then let’s get to it!

SAVOIR FAIRE - The towel still draped over your head, you wrap your arms around Kim’s waist and embrace him into a deep kiss. The towel hangs heavy, framing your faces and creating a temporary cocoon of love.

HAND/EYE COORDINATION - Your large hand cups the small of Kim’s back, guiding him closer to you.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim allows himself to be felt, welcoming your affection. Your wide smile is not optimal for kissing, but he makes it work nonetheless. His hands, now free, reach over your shoulders and interlace behind your neck. Kim has to stand up to his toes for this, a move that makes your burly chest flutter.

SUGGESTION - An excited buzz of something new to come is clear in the air. Your lips touch in a dance of anticipation, playfully shifting between savoring the moment and devouring each other.

ENDURANCE [easy:success] - Keep warming the machine, champ. Slow and steady.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Phah! You are in elite shape, quit stalling and denying the lieutenant a piece of your mouth-watering form!

KIM KITSURAGI - As if agreeing with your inner monologue, Kim lets out a happy hum. He pulls away slowly, but only far enough to be able to glance into your eyes. “Bed. If you may.”

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Instead of authority, Kim’s words echo comfort.

YOU - You hastily toss the towel on the floor and follow Kim to the bed like a naked cryptic. Your wet feet leave behind moist footprints on the floor.

RHETORIC - Hey, question. Why is Kim still clothed? You are ass-naked in your own home and he is fully clothed.

HALF LIGHT - You look fucking ridiculous. Kim is clothed because he isn’t attracted to your disgusting body.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [easy:success] - Are you fucking insane? You just had the steamiest makeout session on the couch and you are still questioning if he is into you? Get on the fucking bed. Make sure you pose in a sexy way.

YOU - Confidently, you plop down on the sheets with a loud purposeful groan. You take a position on your back, stretching yourself out like an erotic piece of art. As a finishing touch, you cross your arms behind your head and flash Kim a hungry grin.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim, who is still standing at the end of the bed, is holding the latex gloves and lube in his hands; a familiar sight that only fuels your excitement.

VISUAL CALCULUS [challenging:success] - It’s impossible to ignore the way Kim’s eyes carefully trace your body from head to toe. His gaze lingers on your mutton chops, appreciating their absolutely ridiculous appearance, before slowly gliding down to your chest.
Even from behind those thick lenses you can see the way his pupils dilate as he takes in your burly chest and soft stomach. He is laser focused on keeping his composure, but an unusually loud exhale escapes his nose when his eyes reach your groin and strong thighs. You notice his grip around the bottle of lube tightening.

YOU - Seeing an opportunity to dish out some smug remarks, you flash Kim a teasing grin; “Tsk tsk tsk, who's ogling other officers now?” You tease while soaking comfortably in your newfound confidence.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim tilts his chin up; “I’m off the clock, officer. What I do on my time off is only my business.” he chuckles and joins you on the bed, crawling towards you on his knees.

AUTHORITY - Hey! Remember who is in charge here? You. The apex predator. You are supposed to ruin him, not the usual way around.

RHETORIC [easy:success] - And how do you expect to do that without letting him show you the ropes first? Knock that chip off your shoulder and let the lieutenant do his thing.

YOU - You lift yourself up against your elbows as Kim positions himself by your feet. “So - is teaching the secret ways off butt stuff included in your time off plans?"

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - The plastic cap of the lube opens with a loud snap. The sound startles you, temporarily drawing your eyes off of Kim. Suddenly, everything feels more real.

SAVOIR FAIRE - The feeling reminds you of your first time together; the endless nervousness mixed with giddy excitement. Two bodies exploring each other blindly in a sweaty dance, desperately seeking pleasure with single-minded focus. Things didn’t work out porno perfectly back then either, so you have nothing to be worried about.

HALF LIGHT - Yeah, you came embarrassingly fast.

EMPATHY - Yet, Kim didn’t react negatively. Quite the opposite, as if he had been prepared for the outcome.

LOGIC - Because he was. The lieutenant understands that your abused body and mind can't perform perfectly after years of self-harm.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Khm.” Kim brings you back to reality. He doesn’t usually mind your episodes of spacing out, but right now he would much prefer for both of you to be present in reality.

YOU - You blink and shake your head. “Huh? Oh yeah - sexy time!”

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim rolls his eyes without malice. “This is important, so please try to focus.” he instructs. A squeak of stretching latex follows Kim’s words as he puts on the glove. A hefty amount of clear lube is then poured over his fingers.

LOGIC [trivial:success] - So that’s why he is keeping his clothes on, he's minimizing your chances of getting distracted. Smart, he is a smart man.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oooooh yeah baby, see that? Those slick fingers will soon be rearranging your insides.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Now.” Kim adapts a more serious tone. “If at any point you feel too uncomfortable or in pain, tell me immediately.” His gloved hand is held up, light catching the wet lube against the latex obscenely. “Please bend your legs.”

YOU - You gulp audibly and do as he says. It’s hard to stay still, your bent legs are trembling visibly and a layer of flush is slowly covering your skin. Despite this, your cock jerks in anticipation. “Y-yeah. Yeah.”

SUGGESTION - Your excitement doesn’t escape Kim’s sharp eye. It reassures him that you are just as enthusiastic about this as he is.

KIM KITSURAGI - Taking the lead, Kim leans in and embraces you into a passionate kiss. It’s more teeth than lips, filled with the confidence of a true speedfreak.

YOU - Kim’s free hand doesn’t hesitate and immediately reaches to squeeze your tit, making you moan.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - You interlace your arms behind Kim’s slender back, pulling him even closer. All the stimulation is finally getting your dick excited. Kim takes note of this, and you soon feel his hand giving your chest one last squeeze before moving down and wrapping around your hardening manhood.

YOU - “Mmmyeah...” your hips involuntarily buck against Kim’s hand.

SAVOIR FAIRE [medium:success] - It may not be a display of conventional manliness, but your pathetic whiny squirming goes straight to Kim’s dick. Keep at it.

COMPOSURE - It’s not like you could stop. Kim’s hand is moving in slow experienced strokes, shaking off any remaining self-control. The press of Kim’s lips against yours is not enough to quiet your moans.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Harry…” Kim’s voice is loving as he calls your name in the dim. He pulls away and gazes into your eyes. His glasses have fallen lower on his nose, partly hiding his pupils behind the upper curve of his frames.

HAND/EYE COORDINATION - Carefully, you reach out and push his glasses back to their place with your finger. The warm bedroom light catches his lenses as you do so.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Nothing but deep breaths between your bodies, filling the silent bedroom with exhales of love.

EMPATHY - You both lay there just for a moment, basking in tenderness. Your hand draws back slowly, caressing Kim’s cheek in the process. He simply looks at you, stunned by your ability to find affection in the most unlikely moments.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - It’s impossible to not get lost in his eyes, staring at you from the depths of those dark circles. Your focus shifts to Kim’s ears, still burning scarlet. The intense staring must be getting to him.

YOU - You decide to break the tension with a sleazy smile; “Wanna put a finger in my butt?”

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim subdues a snort. “Yes, I believe that’s the plan.” Your ridiculous way with words makes him smile. “We will start slow … tell me how this feels.”

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Despite the warning, you yelp in surprise at the sudden touch behind your balls.

ENCYCLOPEDIA [medium:success] - Perineum is an erogenous zone between the anus and the genitals. The skin covering the perineum contains multiple nerve endings that help with sexual arousal and response.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - And you are feeling each of those nerve endings stimulated under Kim’s skilled fingers right now. A confusing wave of newfound pleasure is slowly flooding your brain.

KIM KITSURAGI - Despite the way flush is covering your skin and how your mouth hangs open, Kim is keeping his stone-hard composure. To ease your obvious nervousness, he balances the unfamiliar experience with familiar stimulation by resuming stroking your cock. “How does it feel?” he asks again.

SUGGESTION [trivial:success] - The more you unwind the less discomfort there will be. He wants you to enjoy this as much as possible.

YOU - Your elbows are beginning to strain from the effort of keeping yourself upright, but you don’t want to lay down yet. Not when it means being further away from Kim. “Ah - fuck - ‘s good…” you moan.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Despite often arguing against it, Kim actually finds your endless blabbering during sex endearing. Right now, as you peek at him through squinted eyes, you are met with a gentle observing look. His ears are still burning red, no doubt due to the state of you.

KIM KITSURAGI - His eyes escape yours, drifting to your groin. “Good. Try your best to stay relaxed, okay?” Kim instructs gently. His gloved finger slides down slowly while his eyes stay sharply on you. The tantalizingly slow stroking of your cock continues.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - A slick digit now begins circling your hole. With slow movements, Kim’s finger massages the rim, pressing gently without inserting a finger. The sensation is pleasant and far from how alien you expected it to be. The constant stimulus on your cock is definitely helping. Impressively, you are nearly fully hard now.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Your eyes have fallen closed without you noticing. The isolating darkness allows vulnerability to creep in, twisting your pleasure and openness into uncertainty and alarm. You open your eyes and seek out Kim, your guiding light; you find him deeply focused in pleasuring you, his stare almost clinical.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim notices you staring and looks up at you. His expression shifts to a gentle smile; “Everything okay?”. He presses your hole with slightly more pressure as he speaks.

YOU - You let out a huff of pleasure and nod. “Mm yeah - feels nice. Keep going, please.” Your dick jumps at the increased pressure and you flash a sheepish smile at Kim. Despite how well your body is reacting, It’s hard to fully relax knowing what is to come. The obscene vulnerability of the situation is still weighing in your mind, a reminder of just how exposed you are.

KIM KITSURAGI - “So sensitive…” Kim muses in a husky voice. His eyes now gloss over with determination to pull every moan and whine out of your rugged being. With arousing confidence, he licks his lower lip and gives your dick a long squeeze. Pre-cum gathers on the tip, earning a devilish smirk from Kim.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck. His restrained dirty talk goes straight into your dick.

COMPOSURE [formidable:success] - It’s not holy fuck time yet, you’re cool - everything is cool. This is just a handjob with a bit of extra spice, nothing you can’t handle.

INTERFACING - You’ve witnessed the way Kim’s steady hands maintain his Kineema. Now, those same fingers are working you with equal care; meticulously, carefully, and lovingly. Your muscles are slowly loosening up under his touch, surrendering in total relaxation.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Your cock jerks in anticipation again. Kim’s skin feels hot against yours.

YOU - You smile through a moan and arch your back in a purposeful lewd display. Your biceps are beginning to tremble, so you finally give in and allow yourself to fall down on the bed fully.

YOUR OLD BED - The old mattress and scratchy sheets cradle you earnestly. They wrap around you like a lover, welcoming your embrace. Your body immediately relaxes.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim hums with a smile. His hand around your cock slows to a leisurely pace. “Mmm you’re doing good … are you ready for more?” Kim’s voice stays impressively even despite the situation. His eyes seek yours in search of consent.

AUTHORITY - Stop this foolishness now. You have already embarrassed yourself beyond redemption.

HALF LIGHT - This is going to hurt, are you ready? Are you really ready?

EMPATHY [easy:success] - Kim would never allow you to get hurt.

RHETORIC - You have watched him prepare himself on multiple occasions, if anyone knows how to finger an asshole without pain, it’s him.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Brother, this is going to feel fantastic! Your body is literally built for this; that bundle of nerves is nestled deep inside you for a reason. It’s your one-way ticket to orgasm central and the train is leaving the station now!

SAVOIR FAIRE - Choo choo!

INLAND EMPIRE [medium:success] - You are ready, there is nowhere in the entire Elysium where you would rather be right now. Your home is here, in Kim’s arms, imprinting a new shared experience into your memories forever.

YOU - You spend a moment gazing into Kim’s eyes, basking under his loving gaze. It warms you like the early rays of a sunrise. Some nervous jitters still stir your insides, but any doubt about what’s to come was shed long ago by Kim’s skillful hands.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Harry?” This time you can sense a faintest hint of frustration in Kim’s voice.

EMPATHY [easy:success] - It’s not frustration, but uncertainty. Your silence is allowing doubt to creep in.

YOU - With a crooked smile on your face, you rush to assure Kim; “Ah - sorry - got lost in your eyes.” you explain in earnest. “I’m good, let’s get this show on the road! I’m ready!”

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Kim’s eyes widen in surprise; your sincere words have struck a chord and successfully shaken his ironclad composure. He is completely still, stuck processing your obscenely affectionate words. You notice the blush on his ears deepening as he turns his head away to hide away from your eyes.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Khm …” Kim clears his throat and turns to face you again; his expression composed once again. He decides to brush past your show or emotion and instead focuses on your pleasure; “Now then … this might feel uncomfortable for a second but there shouldn’t be pain.” Kim shifts slightly on the bed as he speaks.

LOGIC [trivial:success] - That position can’t be comfortable, his knees must be aching.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Before you can open your mouth to suggest changing positions, you feel Kim’s hand returning stroking your dick. The familiar intoxicating pleasure returns in a rush, melting your words into a moan.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - The pressure against your rim is now increasing steadily. Despite knowing what’s to come, the moment Kim’s finger finally penetrates still startles you. The unfamiliar intrusion forces a guttural groan out of you.

PAIN TOLERANCE - Unfamiliar yes, but not painful. You are now reaping the benefits of Kim’s patient and skilled preparation.

YOU - “Fuck … hnnh…” Despite your best efforts, the smile on your face falters. Your eyebrows press tightly into an uncomfortable frown. Kim’s finger is hardly moving, yet you are unable to stop yourself from squirming against the sheets, tormented by the confusing mix of discomfort and pleasure.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim’s eyes are glued to your face like a hawk, studying your every reaction. He keeps up the steady movement around your cock while carefully circling his finger inside of you. “Does it hurt?” His question is sharp, demanding an answer.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - Kim truly adores how effortlessly the tiniest amount of pleasure completely disconnects your hedonistic brain from your mouth, leaving you a shameless moaning mess.

RHETORIC [easy:success] - But right now he wishes you were able to restrain enough self-control to effectively communicate how you are feeling.

YOU - I don’t - fuck - I don’t know how I’m feeling? It’s weird- I don’t - this is supposed to feel good, right?

VOLITION - Hey, don’t get stuck inside your head, talk to Kim. Keep an open communication.

COMPOSURE - You flop your forearm over your eyes as a temporary shelter. Under the cover of total darkness, you are able to form a cohesive sentence within the concoction of emotions flooding your brain; “Mm no - it’s - isn’t this supposed to - ah - feel good?” you whine. “It doesn’t hurt - ah - it just - it’s weird.”

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - You are able to hear a pleasant hum in the midst of your pathetic whining.

KIM KITSURAGI - Relief paints Kim’s worn features at your words. “As long as there is no pain you have no reason for concern.” he assures calmly, while his hands never stop pleasuring you. “Try to stay relaxed … give it a moment, you’re doing good.”

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - His tone is shockingly even, like the situation isn’t affecting him at all.

HALF LIGHT - Because he isn't. He just doesn’t want to embarrass you.

VOLITION [easy:success] - We both know that is not true.

EMPATHY - His words caress you like a pair of gentle hands, cupping you into a reassuring hold. Tension escapes your body with each syllable like magic.

YOU - You let out a deep mindful breath and allow yourself to sink deeper into the sheets. You feel yourself becoming one with the bed. 

KIM KITSURAGI - Now eager to show you exactly what you have been missing, Kim’s already focused eyes gloss over in new determination. He curls his finger inside you slowly while monitoring your reaction.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh … oh!

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Okay, something is really happening now. The uncomfortable tightness inside you is easing, slowly fading away under Kim’s experienced touch. His finger reaches deeper and curls against your inner walls, pressing against untouched territory with confidence.

COMPOSURE - A fiery surge of pleasure now blooms inside of you. Your body jolts in shock and a deep moan escapes through your clenched teeth, surprising even yourself.

INLAND EMPIRE [easy:success] - Like a new drug, your brain can’t get enough of the feeling. Swirling mixture of hormones are lighting up your nerve receptors like a disco ball.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh yes baby! Welcome to the mindblowing world of anal fingering! You are currently experiencing the peak of male pleasure.

YOU - “Fffuuuckkkhh …” you whine as the pleasure only grows. Your dick jerks in Kim’s grasp, leaking on his hand.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim is soaking in your whines with greed. Your dick is given one last squeeze before he lets go of it, satisfied at the state of you. Now free, Kim’s hand sneaks to caress your trembling thigh, letting his fingers dance against your tensed muscles. “Talk to me, Harry.”

VOLITION [challenging:success] - Tell him you are okay. He needs to hear it from you.

YOU - Your hands fly to grab the sheets in an attempt to ground yourself. The fabric wrinkles in your grasp as your body jerks harshly again. “Ah fuck - what the hell - ahhh hah - you’re an actual magician.” you blabber. Despite your best attempts to form a coherent sentence, your words fall out in a slurred mess of pleasure. “How is this - feels good - mmh.”

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Kim’s fingertips tickle the hairs on your thigh. His fingers slide towards your inner leg, gently ghosting over the soft thin skin there. The touches spread goosebumps all over your body.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - At times, under the whirlwind of arousal and excitement, you beg Kim to be rough. Sometimes borderline abusive. But he always refuses, instead touching you gently like a treasured thing to be kept safe.

AUTHORITY - There are no words to describe just how pathetic you are.

KIM KITSURAGI - “I’m glad.” Kim swallows and chuckles hoarsely. “I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself … you have always been quite sensitive.” His finger keeps working you open, curling and twisting inside of you with enthusiasm. 

YOU - Your body’s movements mirror the curls of Kim’s finger; like his singular digit has hooked onto your very soul. Keeping your legs bent is becoming seriously strenuous under the overwhelming pleasure, leaving your thighs trembling. “Ah - fuck - mmh - shit - !”

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Kim’s free hand is now petting your shaky thigh with calming motions.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Your moans mix with the obscene wet squelching of your hole in a pornographic anthem. Hearing it makes your cheeks burn in embarrassment.

SUGGESTION [formidable:success] - Don’t be. Kim is very much into your vocalization.

PERCEPTION - Indeed. Your sounds are steadily chipping away at Kim’s composure. His sharp eyes are glossed over in arousal and he is biting his cheek in a desperate attempt to subdue his own moans.

KIM KITSURAGI - “You are doing well.” Kim encourages, his tone smooth as honey. He has seen the way your brows shoot up under words of praise, and how your nostrils flare when he compliments you. Each detail of your mind's inner workings are being put to use with a single-minded focus on your pleasure.

RHETORIC - Has he always been this talkative? He has never been this talkative in bed before.

LOGIC [challenging:success] - The lieutenant is trying to keep your focus on him instead on what’s about to happen.

REACTION SPEED - Wait - what’s about to happen?

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - A jolt of discomfort disturbs your enjoyment; Kim has begun inserting a second finger and the stretch is now becoming seriously intense. Your insides are pulsing around his fingers in the beat of your rapidly fastening breaths.

YOU - “Fuck - fuck - fuck - ah!” You whine and throw your head back, sinking deep into the pillow. Still grasping the sheet with your knuckles turning white, it’s taking everything in your power to keep yourself from thrashing around.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Ohh yes, more! More! Please add one more finger - just one more - you can take it like a good boy. Kim can kiss away your tears if you cry.

VOLITION - No, don’t be idiotic.

KIM KITSURAGI - Hoping to ease your temporary distress, Kim’s free hand returns to your softening cock. “Give it a second.” he murmurs while giving you confident strokes. In the safety of the darkness, he allows a satisfied grin to spread on his face.

SUGGESTION [trivial:success] - He is proud of his work.

INLAND EMPIRE [medium:success] - Despite having your head back and buried in a pillow, you can still feel Kim’s eyes eating you up. His smug grin is burning hot against your exposed skin, only making you flush a deeper shade of red.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - The enticing burn of Kim’s fingers dances together with the slowly rising pleasure deep inside you. Kim’s hand on your cock is almost too much, pushing your endurance to the limits.

ENDURANCE - A warm pulsing pleasure is expanding deep in your core, threatening to burst. Your sweat covered body is begging for more - just a bit more - to reach the tantalizingly close burst of release.

YOU - “Mm yeah, keep going - hnnh!” You cry and spread your legs wider in a pathetic plea for more.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - You feel your hip pop.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim chuckles at your pitiful display, enjoying every second of it. His finger curls inside you, rubbing against you like magic. His other hand is now busy gliding across your hairy chest and stomach; a distant reminder of what’s yet to come.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - The skin to skin contact, echoing moans, constant stimulation; this is what life is about, brother! Quit your day job now so you can become an entity of sex! This is what you were made for!

VOLITION - Perhaps you shouldn’t go that far, but take your time enjoying tonight.

YOU - “Mh - fuck.” You keep blabbering nonsense between ragged breaths. “God, Kim …” His name falls from your lips like a sinful secret. You have become a self-indulgent creature seeking pleasure with a single-minded focus.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Each twist of a finger carefully builds the intoxicating pleasure in you. If your mouth wasn't busy singing a litany of moans, you would ask Kim how he is so good at this.

LOGIC [trivial:success] - Practice. Your asshole is definitely not the first his fingers have penetrated.

HALF LIGHT - And won’t be the last. He will definitely leave you.

VOLITION - Not the time or place for that.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Brother, this feels incredible but we need to speed things up. You are in a sea of pleasure and only wetting your ankles. You are a man; built to withstand broken bones and torn muscles without breaking a sweat. This finger pleasure business is getting old fast, it’s time to take on a challenge.

ENDURANCE - You are ready, stretched to fulfill what you came here to do. 

YOU - Fuck, really? But this feels so good, I could just -

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Pleasure spikes in your gut as Kim hooks his fingers roughly.

RHETORIC - Could what? Ejaculate all over yourself like the selfish prick you are? And just forget Kim's needs like an afterthought?

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - No, that’s not what you want. This is about more than chasing selfish pleasure, this is about exploring something new together, and giving Kim a chance to openly indulge in his desires as well.

YOU - “Kim … Kim Kim please …” desperate pleas of his name echo in the room, interrupted only by the sound of Kim’s slick fingers working you open. “Gah - fuck - hnh …” You aim a pleading look at him through squinted eyes.

KIM KITSURAGI - You find Kim on his knees smiling back at you. His gaze is gentle, his demeanor patient. “Enjoying yourself?” he asks with an amused glimmer in his eye.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - You are about to have the best orgasm of your life.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - YES YES YES!

REACTION SPEED - NO! NO NO!

KEEP IT TOGETHER
REACTION SPEED: 6

EVEN: 58%

-2 Two fingers in your ass
-1 Kim is extremely sexy
+1 Warned in time

REACTION SPEED [medium:success] - “Mmh yeah, this - wait no - WAIT!” The countdown to an embarrassing disaster now ticking loudly in your mind, your head jumps up with a panicked expression plastered all over your face. You hastily grab Kim’s wrist and stall his hand.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim flinches in surprise and freezes on the spot. The bewildered look on his face shows just how completely absorbed in the moment he was.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - The quiet bedroom is now filled with nothing but your labored breathing.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - For a moment, you stare at each other in silence. You notice Kim’s eyes tracing a singular drop of sweat traveling down your face like a raindrop falling against a window. He is waiting for you to speak up.

YOU - “Umh -” You break the silence with a stutter. Your fingers remain tightly squeezed around Kim’s wrist, despite the initial alarm now over. The sudden spotlight on your sweaty naked being and pathetically weeping cock is slowly going from sexy to embarrassing, so you decide to free yourself from Kim’s questioning gaze by proclaiming the truth; “Sorry. I almost came.”

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim’s shoulders immediately relax. Whatever his mind started fabricating during the brief silence was clearly much worse than the reality. Leaning in slightly to loom over you, his lips tense into a thin line in an attempt to hold back a smile. “Khm - we wouldn’t want that yet.” he agrees, his tone positively overflowing with smugness.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - You feel a gentle tugging sensation inside you as Kim removes his slick fingers with a slow pull. Stretched out and sensitive, the sensation forces a whine out of you.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - No man has ever been this shamelessly reactive to his touch. You treat him like an endless stream of pleasure, and he adores it.

YOU - Now relieved of your shame, your enthusiastic mood returns in vigor. Kim’s smile, even when subdued, is impossibly contagious and you quickly find yourself grinning back at him; “I’m sorry - you’re - this is just - fuck - it’s too good!” you chuckle in disbelief, your words sticking to each other as your euphoric brain spits them out without care. “This butt stuff is so disco - total fireworks!”

KIM KITSURAGI - “No need to apologize.” Kim assures honestly. His free hand slides up from your dick and moves to caress your soft stomach with loving strokes. There is a tremble to his touch, palpable excitement that’s coursing through his veins. “This is a new experience … it’s normal to be excited.” He assures and leans closer for a kiss.

EMPATHY [challenging:success] - Those assuring words are for him, too.

YOU - You embrace Kim and pull him into a deep kiss, humming in satisfaction against his lips. You close your eyes and devour all of him with your remaining senses like a blind man starving.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Kim’s lips are soft, contrasting the rough feel of his clothing against your bare skin. You capture Kim’s lower lip between your teeth in a playful bite, prompting a satisfied sigh out of him. As payback, he grinds his hips against yours until you moan.

RHETORIC [medium:success] - Hey loverboy, the lieutenant is still fully clothed. How were you planning to execute your master plan of swooning him like this?

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Get him naked now, rip those clothes off! His body needs to breathe!

COMPOSURE - You are suddenly overwhelmingly aware of Kim’s lack of nakedness. The need to feel his skin controls your arms like a primal calling as you slip your hands under his shirt.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) [trivial:success] - Kim’s skin shivers under your fingertips. He is solid living flesh, but for a second his skin feels thin as paper against your touch. Your hand slides against his back, mapping out the many scars like constellations on the night sky. The invisible hairs on his back tickle against your palm; It reminds you of freshly grown spring grass.

INLAND EMPIRE [formidable:success] - The enticing smell of spring tickles your nose. A reminder of time soon to come, when the city dawns her colorful dress and blooms in new hope.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim holds your cheek and tilts his head, deepening the already passionate kiss. The action brings you back to the current moment, just in time for his tongue to invite itself in, followed by enthusiastic grinding against your cock.

YOU - “Hmmh fuck - “ you groan and grind your hips back enthusiastically. Your hands are now desperately pulling on Kim’s shirt, trying to rip it off of him. “Kim kim kim come on - need more.” you plea into his mouth in hot gasps.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Your body is burning from the inside out like scorching hot core of radiating pure need.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Kim chuckles between the kisses.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - He couldn’t agree more.

KIM KITSURAGI - You are given one more slow kiss before Kim leaves your warmth and leans back. He settles on his knees at your feet, allowing his gaze to linger on you with hungry eyes. 

EMPATHY - It’s the same look he has given you every time he has seen you naked. This time, however, it feels especially adoring.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [trivial:success] - You take the moment to enjoy Kim’s disheveled appearance as well. In the dim light, he looks almost celestial. His shirt is still bundled up on his chest, revealing his nipples and more scars decorating his torso. Your eyes dance across his lean body all the way to the now obvious bulge straining against his pants. There is no shame in Kim’s gaze when you lock eyes again.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [easy:success] - He wants you to eat him up.

KIM KITSURAGI - “You are staring.” Kim comments and presses his glasses up on his nose with his palm. His mouth curls into an amused smile. The slick glove gets removed with a smooth pull and tossed into the bedside trash can.

COMPOSURE [challenging:success] - Keeping things organized even with a hot piece of meat laying in front of him butt-ass naked. Actions of a man fully in control of his emotions.

RHETORIC - Well someone has to be. You got two fingers in your ass and immediately became an incoherent drooling mess.

YOU - You follow Kim’s movements with your eyes; “Mmh, just eyeing the sexiest man in Jamrock.” you chuckle and bless Kim with your sexiest eyebrow wiggle. 

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Kim snorts in response.

AUTHORITY - Don't just lay there like an useless lump of meat, do something to keep the mood up! Do you expect him to just finger your ass and pamper you?

YOU - You are still laying in the same exposed position, your legs bent to reveal every private inch of you. Normally you would wait for Kim to let you know when he is ready for you, but this time that responsibility falls on your shoulders. It’s time to make some moves!

PAIN TOLERANCE - With an embarrassing lack of finesse, you straighten your knees and groan in pain. Your legs have been bent long enough for the blood flow to be gone and your toes begin tingling. An uncomfortable wave of needle-like sensation spreads all the way to your toes.

ENDURANCE - The feeling is uncomfortable but you grit your teeth and bear it. You won't allow it to ruin your night.

HALF LIGHT - Time to finally admit defeat, old man. There is no way you are able to perform adequately.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim is in the middle of removing his shirt when your pained groans draw his attention. He looks at you with a sympathetic smile; “Shake your legs a bit, that should help.” he instructs while pulling off his shirt. Regardless of the obvious excitement he is buzzing with, Kim still takes the time to fold his shirt on the end of the bed.

LOGIC [easy:success] - Despite growing up in an unfair world seemingly dedicated to crushing all kindness in his soul, Kim still chooses to treat everything in his life with respect and care. 

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - A selfless man in a selfish world.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Heartwarming, now get to fucking before your dick explodes!

YOU - “Ow … I’m getting old.” you mumble and give your legs a good shake. As you wait for your blood flow to return, you decide to use the moment to resume stroking yourself. The sensation doesn’t compare to what Kim just blessed you with, but it’s enough to make you satisfy your impatient mind.

SUGGESTION - It's just enough to keep the coals in your core warm.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Tsk, so impatient.”

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Somewhere between your legs going numb and Kim undressing, your eyes fell shut. As you open them, you find Kim on his knees, fully naked between your spread legs. The weak bedroom glow frames his body beautifully with a golden hue, only emphasizing his impressively lean silhouette. The light seeps into his skin, bathing his features in it.

CONCEPTUALIZATION [legendary:success] - For a moment your mind returns to the radiating painted glass window at the church in Martinaise. As etherial is the current sight in front of you.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - WHO CARES about the bitch in that glass, look what’s in front of you right now!

KIM KITSURAGI - You notice Kim is stroking himself too. The slow movement glues your eyes to his cock, standing hard between dark well trimmed hairs. The sight is enticing enough to make your dick excited again.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Glossy slick squelching between Kim’s grasp tells you he has lubed himself up too. He is ready.

SUGGESTION [medium:success] - Standing proud, Kim welcomes your admiring looks. He doesn’t find his body particularly attractive, but sees no reason to feel ashamed of it either. During work hours his body is a tool for the RCM, but today it’s a tool for pleasure.

EMPATHY [challenging:success] - This is a show only for your eyes to see.

COMPOSURE [impossible:failure] - “Fuck you’re so hot. A piece of fucking art.” you whine and swallow audibly. Like a man possessed, your body moves on its own, desperately reaching towards the heat of Kim.

YOUR OLD BED - The bed frame creaks under your weight as you struggle up like a tortoise stuck on its shell. Your knees sink deep into the lumpy mattress, almost throwing you off balance.

KIM KITSURAGI - Your unashamed enthusiasm surprises a chuckle out of Kim. His gaze softens as he observes your antics.

YOU - You are now both standing on your knees, facing each other.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [easy:success] - And what a magnificent sight it is; two masculine men sharing a naked testosterone fueled moment. Their bare skin flushed in varying shades of red, and their respectful cocks standing proud and hard. The room reeks of pure primal need. 

YOU - Your body and mind are ready to finalize your underground membership with a grand solo of ass jazz, but now that the moment is here, you find yourself hesitating.

VOLITION - What? Ass jazz? What the fuck?

LOGIC - Just keep letting Kim lead, it has worked well so far.

AUTHORITY [medium:success] - No no no, it’s time to stop pussying around. You wanted to rock the lieutenant’s world? You wanted to take him on the ride of his life? Then fucking do it! TAKE HIS DICK UP YOUR ASS LIKE A MAN!

YOU - You take a deep breath in and enjoy the stretching sensation of your expanding chest. The fresh flow of air flushes away any remaining nervousness, leaving behind only calm and confidence. You want to do this and nothing can stop you now.

VISUAL CALCULUS - Don’t make any rash moves, plan your actions first. You got this.

VISUAL CALCULUS [heroic:success] - If you wrap your entire arm around the right side of Kim’s torso and place your palm tightly against his back, it offers enough support to manhandle him safely.
To actually move Kim, you should use your other arm to grab behind his thigh as close to his knee as possible, and pull. Using the momentum of these two moves simultaneously, you have a 73% chance of successfully swinging Kim under you without injuring him.

SAVOIR FAIRE [heroic:success] - Like a hypnotizing disco beat, you allow the moment to lead your body. You engulf Kim’s middle with a tight hold, while your other hand leads his leg to join the dance. As the silent song hits its climax, you swing Kim around as a dashing finale.

KIM KITSURAGI - There is barely a sound as Kim suddenly finds himself being swirled around and tossed onto his back. He bas no time to react or resist before being flopped on the bed and landing limply with an oomph.

REACTION SPEED [trivial:success] - Alert! You are about to crash right on top of Kim and crush him to death!

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Not happening, son. Keep it together!

DON’T FALL ON KIM
PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT: 5

EVEN: 58%

+1 Feeling the beat
+1 Warned in time

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [medium:success] - The momentum sends your body on a crash course towards Kim. Channeling a distant memory smelling of sweat and rubber shoes, you stick the landing; your spread hands land around Kim’s head, framing his bewildered face. Your knees touch down next to his hips, sinking deep into the old mattress.

YOUR OLD BED - The bed screams under the impromptu acrobatics. Its metal legs wobble and creak dangerously as a warning.

YOU - Now on all fours above Kim, you stall. Your hair has fallen around your head, still swinging from the momentum. It’s honestly a miracle you didn’t throw your back.

KIM KITSURAGI - Below you laying on his back, Kim is staring back at you in shock. His chest is rising at a quick pace as his body battles the sudden surge of adrenaline.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [formidable:success] - His pupils are blown wide, locked with yours. Unable to speak through his bewilderment, Kim’s mouth is left hanging open in mute shock. On his face, a look of a man trying to come to terms with how much the unprompted manhandling turned him on.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh yeah, he really liked that. There’s a pleasure party going on inside his nerve receptors.

AUTHORITY [challenging:success] - Do not push your luck. Just because your surprise move worked in your favor today doesn’t mean the lieutenant won’t absolutely destroy you if you try this again unprompted.

YOU - Basking in confidence after your successful bedroom gymnastics, you flash a toothy grin at Kim. You rise back to your knees, mirroring Kim’s previous pose with your inflated ego on full display. “Ready for a double-yefreitor level world rocking, lieutenant?” you ask and stroke your aching cock for a good measure, giving Kim a show you hope he won’t forget.

KIM KITSURAGI - Still stunned, Kim’s face stays locked in shock, the only feature changing are his ever-reddening ears. The gears are visibly turning in his head as the silence stretches. Despite his shock, his eyes drift down to your groin.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - You see his pupils widen.

DRAMA - Masterful work, my liege! You have knocked the words out of him with your performance!

EMPATHY [heroic:success] - Such unprompted manhandling is usually not something Kim accepts. Being pushed around is an unfortunate reality he's had to deal with his entire life, so the dopamine currently blinding his brain is bound to result in some internal debate. Better not question him about it now.

KIM KITSURAGI - The bewilderment finally clears as Kim makes the mental decision to file away his self-discovery for later. Now focusing solely on your poised promise, his expression takes on a smug look. “Khm. It would be extremely unprofessional of you to not finish gathering physical evidence … so yes, you may rock my world.”

SAVOIR FAIRE [easy:success] - He really wanted to say those words.

YOU - Your giddy smile swirls with nervous energy, twisting your lopsided jaw unevenly. You realize you aren’t entirely sure how to begin the promised world rocking, so for a moment, you just stand there smiling.

HALF LIGHT - You look stupid. Why are you acting like a virgin?

KIM KITSURAGI - Where there is uncertainty, Kim is there to reassure you. He reaches out his hand and caresses your hairy stomach in encouragement. “Go at your own pace.” he smiles, keeping calm despite his visible arousal.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - He is holding his cock, waiting for you to proceed.

SUGGESTION - What feels like a swarm of butterflies flutters in your chest.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - A quick sip of something strong would ease those nerves real quick! Come on, you love drunk sex! Only losers have sex sober!

VOLITION [formidable:success] - No. Simply the mention of alcohol and sex in the same sentence creates a bad taste in your mouth. 

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Fucking losers, at least get on with the sex then...

YOU - Slowly, you begin lowering yourself on Kim. The muscles in your thighs and stomach tense in anticipation, fighting to keep your decent steady. You let out a nervous breath in a final attempt to relax. A mixture of dizzying arousal and excitement are fighting the remaining nervousness still stirring in your stomach.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Your breath hitches as you feel the hot tip of Kim’s cock against your rim. The feeling is slick and sensitive, and so shockingly intimate.

KIM KITSURAGI - A hitch of breath escapes Kim’s lips. His eyes squint shut and his hand reaches to grasp your strong thigh for support.

YOU - Seeking reassurance, you bend down to lay on top of Kim as much as your stiff hips allow. You push your face against him clumsily, soaking in his presence. The feeling of Kim’s forehead against yours anchors your thoughts, keeping you grounded.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Despite all the preparation, the intensity of the stretch still hits you hard. The feeling is overwhelming, bordering on painful. Your entire body tenses. Every muscle in your body now stands rigid, panicking under the unfamiliar intrusion. 

KIM KITSURAGI - Always there for you, Kim gently nudges your forehead with his. “Are you okay?” he asks. His voice is husky, struggling with his composure despite his best efforts.

YOU - “Hnnh - it’s so much - ah…”

EMPATHY [easy:success] - Sting of guilt now stirs the mixture of uncertainty pooling in your stomach. The memories of the times you selfishly pounded into Kim chasing your own pleasure fill you with regret instead of arousal.

VOLITION - Don’t be ridiculous, Kim has enjoyed each time as much as you have. You are twisting things in your mind, stop punishing yourself, please.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - In the midst of your inner panic, you suddenly feel a gentle touch against your cheek; Kim’s hand is now carefully caressing your cheek.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Give it a moment … go very slow.” He swallows thickly and smiles. There is an audible strain to his words. “If it gets too much - we will stop.” he instructs.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] He means it. This will not go on if you are in too much pain.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Sweet sweet pain, embrace it! There is no pleasure without pain, Harry-boy!

COMPOSURE - Taking a moment, you still yourself. Your body is being bombarded with new sensations poking and prodding your brain mercilessly. But just as he promised, Kim is there to hold you together. His hand is caressing your cheek with a reassuring hold, promising that you will be okay. You feel his other hand gently stroking your thigh.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT [challenging:success] - Do not be deterred, you are built to withstand this. Your body is an unbreakable miracle of genetic engineering, built from pure magnesium and leftover bullet fragments; A psycholocomotor!

YOU - “Ah fuck.” You groan and push Kim deeper. The stretch is deliciously dangerous, pulsating inside you. With each passing second the stinging pain is slowly dissolving.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim let’s out a quiet groan and his eyes fall shut. The sensation is clearly overwhelming for him too, but he is holding back. Both of his hands now grasp your trembling thighs.

SUGGESTION [medium:success] - He can feel each muscle working hard under your skin. The sensation makes him gasp.

YOU - Like a man starving, you chase the sound into his mouth, tilting your head into a sloppy kiss.

SUGGESTION - In a heated dance of lips, the bedroom fills with the sounds of wet kisses and groans. Warmth begins to bloom inside your chest again as the familiar affection lights up your lungs.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim quiets another groan against your lips. His hips are trembling in a battle of self-control and need.

EMPATHY [easy:success] - He is holding back for you.

ENDURANCE - Come on, COME ON! One more push! You can do this, this is nothing compared to what your body has already survived.

YOU - Letting out a guttural groan you finally push Kim fully inside. His cock slides in smoothly, slotting inside you with a satisfying thump. “Hah hah - oh fuck -!”

SUGGESTION - There is an immediate shift in your brain. Something inside you clicks, an inner knot of repression and fear unravels in an explosion of dopamine and relief.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Kim’s cock pulses hotly inside you. The feeling is overwhelming, completely mind consuming. The stretch and building pleasure are dancing together deep in your stomach, intoxicating your brain.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - YES BABY YES! This is what you were made of! Gulp the pleasure like the starving man you are and allow yourself to drown in it!

KIM KITSURAGI - “...Mmph.” Kim’s usually unshakable voice wobbles as he moans. His eyes are squinted shut tight and there is a visible tremble to his arms. 

YOU - “Oh fuck - oh fuck …” You answer Kim’s call with your own nonsensical chanting. “It feels - it’s so much - ah.” Overwhelmed, you hide your face in the crook of Kim’s neck, feeling his sticky skin against yours.

INLAND EMPIRE - The dark welcomes you with a familiar hug. But unlike before, the embrace is warm and smells of pine needles.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - You feel the tight hold on your thighs ease. Kim’s fingers find their way between your coarse hairs instead. He strokes the back of your head with his entire palm, tangling your messy hair even more.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Mm how is it?” Kim turns his head and whispers into your ear while continuing to pet you. The smile on his face is audible from his words.

YOU - You hum as his breathy words raise goosebumps on your skin. “Yeah yeah … it’s just - mmm - it’s a lot.” you groan against Kim’s neck. You lay there heavy against him, breathing in his familiar scent.

PAIN TOLERANCE - Even in this position you can feel the pain and pleasure growing deep inside you, scratching a carnal itch in a way your own fingers never could.

VOLITION [formidable:success] - You’ve done this before - at least tried to. All alone in your bedroom, only your shame as your company.

RHETORIC[ [challenging:success] - What’s this bullshit now? You know better than to dwell on the past.

VOLITION - You're right, I apologize. Go on then.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Mh, yes… It can be quite overwhelming for the first time.” Kim assures, his words gentle but analytical. As always, he sounds much more composed than you.

EMPATHY - His almost clinical calmness has a reassuring effect on both of you.

PAIN TOLERANCE - As you lay there basking in the calming scent of pine needles, your body is slowly absorbing the pain. You feel the unfamiliar discomfort dissipating at each of your breaths, leaving behind only the delicious stretch and fullness.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Finally! Get bouncing on that dick already! Every second you spend off dick is a second wasted!

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - This is it, superstar. Ready those thigh muscles and tighten your glutes, it’s time to give the lieutenant a ride he will never forget. Start by sitting up straight, really let him sink deep in you. Trust me, you can take it.

YOU - Hesitantly, you leave Kim’s comfortable embrace, but not before quickly pecking him on his neck. You straighten your back painstakingly slow, steadily feeling the pressure inside you increasing as each of your vertebrae clicks in place.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Your hands glide across Kim’s torso towards his stomach, feeling his smooth skin and occasional healed scars slide under your trembling fingertips. The gentle motion sends Kim’s stomach muscles twitching.

YOU - Finally, your back straightens with a pop. Kim’s hips sink deeper into the mattress under your direct weight, only pushing his dick even deeper inside you. “Mmph - !” Your hands fly against your thighs to steady yourself as you try to absorb the immense pressure .

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Shivering from pleasure, your thick thighs squeeze tighter around Kim’s waist.

KIM KITSURAGI - The squeeze physically pushes a loud moan out of Kim. His face scrunches up in pleasure and embarrassment. He hesitantly glances at you; undoubtedly hoping his slip-up went unnoticed.

REACTION SPEED [easy:success] - Not a chance, buddy. Your super senses caught that moan and have already locked it away for later.

YOU - To his dismay, Kim finds your wide-eyes eating him up from the depths of your messy hair. Your face and chest are already flushed red, but Kim’s pornographic moan is only deepening your already alarming color. “Do that again.” You plead and grind your hips down in an attempt to replicate the sinful sound.

COMPOSURE [formidable:failure] - Bad move - too much! Kim’s dick rubs against your sensitive insides, overloading your brain with a flashbang of pleasure. Blinded by utter glee, your confident act waivers as a pathetic whine escapes your lips instead.

KIM KITSURAGI - In tandem, Kim’s hips lift up seeking pleasure. Prepared this time, he quickly covers his mouth with his hand and muffles the moan. His eyebrows draw together in pleasure above his squinted eyes.

YOU - “Oh fuck …” You pant. “This advanced underground stuff is dangerous” You chuckle.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Your cock is painfully hard, pulsating with arousal. Your entire being is gushing with nervous energy, enhanced by your still-fresh sobriety. 

KIM KITSURAG - Composing himself once more, Kim removes his hand from his mouth and slicks back his hair in singular smooth motion. “Kmh. For a new member … perhaps.” he muses with a playful spark in his eyes. 

DRAMA [easy:success] - There it is again, sire! The look that spells trouble!

KIM KITSURAGI - “I must say, didn’t take you as - ah - how would you say it …” There is a purposeful pause before he continues. “As someone to back away from a challenge.” Kim teases, his sly gaze tempting you. At each word, his fingers sneak towards your thighs and dance on your skin.

LOGIC [trivial:success] - He is calling you a pussy.

AUTHORITY - WHAT? A PUSSY? Do not let this slide! Your honor is on the line, do you want to be known as a pussy-boy for the rest of your life?!

YOU - It doesn’t sound like such a bad title when Kim says it…

RHETORIC - It’s not about the title but how well you live up for it. Right now you are sitting still on a dick, bringing shame on the good name of pussy-boys. Get to work.

YOU - As Kim’s fingers approach yours on your thigh, you reach out to meet him halfway. Your fingertips touch among your curly thigh hairs. The gentle contact makes you smile.

KIM KITSURAGI - Despite his pressing arousal, Kim welcomes the tender moment with a smile.

EMPATHY [formidable:success] - Both of you are repressed remnants of an unforgiving world. Physical intimacy is easy, fast, and fleeting. Emotional connection is a promise of a future together you can’t guarantee.

VOLITION - Perhaps that is all true, but Kim is worth the uncertainty. If there is no future, take all of the present you can with him.

YOU - Confidently, you make the move to interlace your thick fingers with Kim’s slender ones. Your sweaty palms clasp satisfyingly together, and you beam a proud smile at Kim.

KIM KITSURAGI - Surprise flashes over Kim’s features as your fingers entwine. For a brief moment, he allows himself to gaze at your clasped hands and fully soak in the tenderness.

SUGGESTION [formidable:success] - It still shocks him how deeply you feel towards him. How eager you are to take time to shower him with affection, even in the middle of sex.

YOU - “Here - straighten your arms a bit.” you instruct gently while straightening Kim’s arms by guiding his hands higher. “It’s going to be one hell of a ride … because I’m no pussy-boy.” you growl, amusing Kim’s challenge.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim allows his arms to be guided, confirming he’s got you with a smile. Confusion and amusement flash in his eyes at your ridiculous comment. You see his mouth beginning to open in either protest or to ask clarifying questions.

AUTHORITY - He has no right to speak after insulting your honor, silence him!

YOU - Before Kim has time to speak, you spring back up on his cock. The drag is agonizingly tight against your rim. “Fffuckh!”

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Your thighs are hard as stone, a well-trained layer of muscle holding you steady. Go on, get this show on the road.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Mph - !” Kim bites his cheek as the sudden sensation sends his head lolling back. His slender fingers grip your hands with vigor, holding onto them like his life depends on it.

YOU - With only the tip of Kim’s dick inside you, you still. You take a moment to glance at your partner, admiring the way his head is arched back. His pale smooth neck looks like a sculpture worthy of its own exhibition in a museum.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - His entire body is a work of art, sculpted by years of dedication and hard work. Each wrinkle and scar only add to his beauty, personalizing his body with stories of survival.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Snap out of it, enough of this mushy shit! That hot body you keep dreaming of? It’s right there under you, dumbass.

YOU - Finally, you lower down on Kim with your entire weight. His slick dick sinks impossibly deep inside, knocking the wind out of you. “Ohhmygod - !”

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim’s head snaps back up as his entire body tenses under the sudden gut-punching wave of pleasure. “F-fuck - !” His dull fingernails dig deep into your hand as he attempts to arch his hips.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - He can’t. You are pinning him down.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [medium:success] - And he loves it.

ENDURANCE - The stretch is immense enough to burn. Deep inside you, the lieutenant’s cock is filling you to the brim, forcing you to gasp for breath.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh sweet mama! Do you feel that?! That’s pure dopamine and oxytocin shooting straight into your brain!

YOU - A guttural moan echoes against the bedroom walls. Your throbbing cock bounces wildly against your stomach as you slowly push yourself back up again, drinking in the torturously intense stretch inside you.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - Over hundred and twenty kilos of tense muscle and fat are pounding up and down against the lieutenant’s much smaller hips, thrusting against his pelvis mercilessly. Your thigh muscles, solid as stone, are keeping him trapped under a vice grip. Even if he for some unexplainable reason wanted to, he has no way of escaping.

RHETORIC [easy:success] - Don’t flatter yourself, the lieutenant could absolutely free himself if he wanted to.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Fucking look at him, does that look like a man who wants to leave?

KIM KITSURAGI - Under you, Kim is beginning to unravel. His mouth is hanging open as a litany of gasps sound out. Utter bliss is etched into each deep wrinkle on his face. 
Your weight is crushing, forcing his smaller statue to obey your rhythm. His interlaced fingers are turning white under the grasp he has on yours, fighting to keep supporting you above him. 

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - “Nh - nh - nh!” Subdued moans keep escaping through Kim’s wet lips like confessions of love.

EMPATHY - A flutter of something warm engulfs your chest. Each time Kim allows you inside his highly guarded walls feels like a gift.

YOU - The misguided romantic in you feels the need to voice your emotions out loud, but all you manage to produce are an array of desperate moans. “Haah - hah - fuck - Kim you're so - mh - like fine art!”

AUTHORITY [easy:success] - You’re groaning like a wild animal in a rhythm with the wet smacks of your hips. You’re loud, in charge, and it feels right.

PAIN TOLERANCE - Each groan scratches against your vocal cords like dull nails.

KIM KITSURAGI - Your endless blabbering prompts Kim to open his eyes and gaze at you. Your look of pure hunger must please him, because you feel his dick twitch inside of you as a smile spreads on his face. “Yeah - mm - you’re doing good…”

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Hear that? You’re a good boy!

YOU - Up, down, up down, Kim’s dick keeps dragging in and out your body, hitting deeper and deeper inside you each time you smack back down. You are pushing hard against Kim’s strained arms, feeling how his biceps tremble from the effort of supporting you. Like empty lungs chasing for air, you chase pleasure with similar desperation.

ENDURANCE - Slick sweat is beginning to coat your entire body, suctioning your palms together. Your body is burning like a furnace.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Kim is taking the harsh trashing in stride. You see sweat pooling between the wrinkles on his forehead, moistening strands of escaped hair. Your heavy body is forcing Kim’s hips deep into the mattress with each pump, and the utter bliss of it is painted clearly on his blushed ears and squinted eyes. His glasses now hang crooked on his nose, only adding to his disheveled appearance.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim is looking back at you with lidded eyes, his pupils blown wide enough to make his eyes almost completely black.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - See that look? That’s a look of a man loving the wrecking he is getting! Harder, superstar, show him what the apex predator of Revachol is capable of!

VOLITION - That nickname is not going to stick. I am not letting it stick.

ENDURANCE [challenging:success] - You won’t be capable of much more unless you switch positions. Burning discomfort is beginning to tire your leg muscles. Despite your endless jogging and regular weightlifting, this is a workout your body is not used to.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - Do yourself a favor and resume your previous position. Allow yourself to completely engulf him with your body. It’s what he desires and what you need to drive this thing home.

YOU - The burning in your thighs is getting quite distracting. And Kim’s shiny mouth is very inviting.

COMPOSURE - Suddenly, all you can think about are those delicious lips. You need to taste him NOW!

YOU - “Kim - “ Your hands separate with a wet pop as you lean forward with single-minded focus to join every inch of your naked bodies together. You round your back to fit over Kim better, once more completely covering his lean form with your huge one.

HAND/EYE COORDINATION - Your right hand moves to caress the back of Kim’s head, feeling his prickly shaved hair. You nestle your left flat against Kim’s sweaty chest.

INLAND EMPIRE [formidable:success] - At each rise and fall of his chest, life lights up his lungs.

KIM KITSURAGI - Surprise flashes across Kim’s pupil’s before his eyes fall close as your lips crash together. His hands immediately wrap around your broad back, holding you tightly. You feel his breath flutter as your bodies sink deeper into the mattress, combined in a loving embrace.

EMPATHY [easy:success] - Never let go.

ENDURANCE - Feeling is slowly returning to your leg muscles in tingling waves. You still have some juice in you and it’s time to use the last of it to make Kim see stars.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - The new position feels more familiar, much closer to the pathetic humping posture you prefer. Consider yourself lucky that Kim finds your pitiful appearance attractive, because you don’t have the energy to sit straight back up again.

VISUAL CALCULUS [formidable:success] - Good, because this is the position you want to be in. Trust me.

YOU - With a gasp, you pull your lips apart. But like a magnet, you immediately feel the pull to press your forehead against Kim’s. “Fuck … this is so disco - super hyper mega disco.” you can’t help but to blabber. Your words feel light, floating around the room like soap bubbles bursting with love. Laughter escapes your lips without you noticing.

KIM KITSURAGI - In the tender embrace of your loving hands, Kim joins in with your laughter. “Super disco indeed.” His voice is hoarse but shimmering with delight. Shyly, one of his hands slides from your back to the side of your stomach, giving it a playful squeeze.

INLAND EMPIRE [easy:success] - His laughter tickles your ears like the hairs of a paintbrush.

VISUAL CALCULUS - Told you this angle was going to work.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim grips your stomach harshly as you continue bouncing on him. His face scrunches up in pleasure, his mouth ajar in a mute scream. “Hnh!”

INTERFACING [trivial:success] - Holding onto the handles like on the open road, enjoying the ride he is being taken on.

AUTHORITY [easy:success] - The lieutenant may be enjoying the joyride, but he is still on the driver seat.

YOU - “Fuck - hah - come on - mmh - need you!” There is no end goal to your begging, but you still moan the pleas deep into the crook of Kim’s sweaty neck.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - Kim’s hands are grasping all over your sides and back like a man starving.

KIM KITSURAGI - An affirmative moan is all the warning you get before Kim suddenly answers your thrusts with his own. Your hips connect with a wet obscene slap as he slams against you.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Bingo. This is what it’s all about, brother.

YOU - “Oh fuckh - !” The sudden blow sends your entire body contorting like a pleasure controlled marionette. Kim is pulling the strings, controlling you from deep within.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [formidable:success] - Oh, he liked that. He is hoping it leaves a mark.

SUGGESTION - A discovery worthy investigating deeper in the future.

ENDURANCE - There is no time for that right now. There is barely time for anything right now, brother. The pressure brewing deep in you is building up at an alarming speed. You aren’t going to last for much longer before the scorching flames erupt.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Neither is Kim. His thrusts are becoming more erratic and he is no longer in control of his voice. Sinful moans drip from his lips like the droplets of sweat on his skin. If you weren’t so close to becoming undone, you’d lick the sweaty pearls right off his sharp cheekbone.

YOU - “Hnh - fuck - Kim I’m - I’m gonna - I need - !“ you cry between erratic thrusts, still nibbling against his neck like a man starving.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - The air smells of pure testosterone and sweat. Lustful moans harmonize with the creaking of your bed frame in a sinful melody. The only sound louder is the wet smacking of your hips. It’s an all out pornographic orchestra.

KIM KITSURAGI - Unlike your brain, which has been reduced to nothing but primal need, Kim’s mind is still composed enough to notice you coming undone. His vice grip on your love handles eases, leaving behind red marks you will be feeling for a while. “Mmh - me too - ah...” His voice wobbles as your hips connect.

EMPATHY - He understands. It’s becoming all too much for him, too.

KIM KITSURAGI - Despite teetering on the edge, Kim slows his thrusts down to a slow grind. He reaches out with his trembling hands, determination glistening in his gaze. Once more, he pushes gently against your shoulders, but this time it’s not a plea for space.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - It’s a plea to let him have you the way he wants.

YOU - You litter Kim’s neck and chest with kisses while you slowly drag your burning body to an upright position. The loss of Kim’s warmth against your chest sends a cool shiver across your sweaty torso, while his dick positively burns your insides.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - You feel his sweaty palms press against your chest, glueing your skin together - then he squeezes. Hard.

PAIN THRESHOLD - It hurts just right. His hold is filled with an unnerving amount of desperation as his fingers sink deep into your fat tits, squeezing them like a man starving.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY [formidable:success] - Like a woman. Men don’t usually have a pair of juicy tits like you do.

YOU - But the way Kim looks at you with such honest want, his eyes hazy and lips wet, it’s impossible to feel nothing but divine.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - His fingers ghost over your nipples, rubbing the sensitive nubs. Your body responds embarrassingly fast to his touch, your nipples immediately hardening under his fingertips.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim lets out a pleased hum and grinds his hips against yours deeply. “Hah - fuck - always so responsive...”

SUGGESTION - Your body is a sensitive instrument, flourishing under Kim’s skilled maneuvering.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim presses harshly against you, his hands still groping your chest. Something in your reaction tells him, that you aren't going to last through another close call “Hah - I know - mh - let me.” he breathes and removes his right hand from your chest, instead finally wrapping it around your leaking cock.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Fuck yes, this is all you need! You can feel it, the wave of blinding pleasure approaching. It’s happening.

YOU - “Oh god - !” you moan desperately as Kim begins simultaneously stroking you in the rhythm of his aggressive thrusts. Stimulation is hitting your brain from every direction, forcing you to close your eyes and grit your teeth in a last attempt to hold it together. 

ENDURANCE - You are not going to last. The unbelievable pressure in your core has reached its limit. The stimulation from Kim’s hand is all too much, and you feel your self-control breaking apart.

INLAND EMPIRE - Your entire being submerges into a pool of weightless bliss. A numbing wave of pleasure caresses over your every muscle with gentle pulsing waves and whites out your senses.

…

...

…

...

...

YOU - After what feels like an eternity, your grip on reality begins returning.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - All around, the darkness cradles you. Slowly, the familiar shape of Kim under you begins to form; His wet chest is still rising in quick gasps. You notice his glasses are pushed up on his forehead, and he is is covering his eyes with his forearm.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Hungry gasps for air dance off the bedroom walls.

YOU - Like jelly, your spent muscles wobble under your weight. Your eyelids feel heavy like lead, trying to close and lull you into the best sleep of your life.

INLAND EMPIRE - The sweat cools on your skin, birthing a deep longing for warmth.

EMPATHY [heroic:success] - The feeling is deeper than that, it grows from your very soul. Your body itches to hold onto Kim and lock him next to your for the night.

ENDURANCE - The uncomfortable sensation punches another groan out of you. Your entire body is hypersensitive, tingling with pleasure that's now bordering on excruciating.

KIM KITSURAGI - In tandem, Kim moans in discomfort. “Mmph - !” He tenses up and bites his lip as you lift up off his dick.

YOU - Beyond spent, the simple task of lifting yourself up on your knees spikes up your breathing. You stop, panting loudly as you gaze at Kim below you.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - His usually kempt hair is a mess, sticking to his sweaty forehead. His forearm still hides his eyes, so you admire his open mouth and burning ears instead. Sweat and cum paint his torso like your newest piece of art.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Your most erotic creation so far, brother!

ENDURANCE [easy:success] - I don't mean to alarm you, but you don't have the strenght to hold yourself up any longer; you are going down.

REACTION SPEED - Wait no - !

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim barely has the time or alertness to react before your massive being completely submerges him. His lungs deflate with a forced exhale as you flop over him like a ragdoll. “Ooomph!”

LOGIC [medium:success] - You should have wiped yourself and Kim clean before doing that. Disgusting. 

RHETORIC - Too late. Add this one into your mounting pile of many mistakes.

EMPATHY [medium:success] - Deep down you don't really care about the mess, it's nothing compared to the filth you used to live in. The nagging regret knocking at the door of your selfish bliss is for Kim, because you know he is meticulous about after-sex hygiene.

SUGGESTION - Well, he isn't protesting his current predicament yet. So, enjoy.

YOU - As you lay there, comfortable relaxation nestles in every crevice of your body and mind. Tension and stress that have long since become part of your body are fading away, leaving behind only a weightless hold that cradles you gently.

PERCEPTION (HEARING) - Domestic silence fills the room.

SHIVERS - The harsh streets of Jamrock are quiet. The people of the night are still at home, spiking up their hair and painting on their black lipstick. Under candlelight, a man is carefully wrapping his chest. A pair of metal scissors cut through a long strip of tape with a loud snap. Soon, he will emerge from his nest to join the rest of socially damned souls in lighting up the dark streets.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Mh … you are very heavy …” Kim pleads with a muffled voice. His hand taps your back three times in mock surrender.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - He isn’t actually complaining. Your weight is like a comforting blanket, forcing him to relax and bask in post-orgasmic bliss.

PERCEPTION (TOUCH) - You feel Kim’s fingertips tickle against your back with gentle strokes, touching you carefully like he is marvelling a fragile sculpture.

INLAND EMPIRE [formidable:success] - The fissures reach deep into your soul.

YOU - That’s okay. Everything is okay as long as I have Kim. 

RHETORIC [medium:success] - You should get off him if you want to keep him around, loverboy. Your weight puts Kim at a serious risk of a collapsed lung.

YOU - You grunt an incomprehensible complaint and muster your depleted strength to roll over on your back next to him. You flop down like a slimy fish; ungraceful and moist.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Utter ecstasy. Total numbness. Something deep and primal in your brain has been satisfied.

KIM KITSURAGI - Next to you, Kim is breathing deeply in a similar blissfull comatosed state as you. His hand trembles slightly as he adjusts his glasses back to their place.

AUTHORITY [formidable:success] - Topped and destroyed!

YOU - “That was …” you exhale and turn your head to look at Kim.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim tilts his head enough to catch your gaze A tired smile spreads on his face; “Disco?” he asks.

YOU - You chuckle and nod; “Sooo fucking disco.”

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - The usual tension and lines of deep stress have temporarily softened on Kim’s features. His face rests in a neutral expression of pure comfort, decorated with glistening droplets of sweat like stars in the night sky.

SUGGESTION - Even when covered in multitude of fluids and thoroughly disheveled, Kim’s beauty is enough to completely mesmerize you.

YOU - Beaming a smile, you walk your fingers against the sheets until your hand rests on top of Kim’s. “Was that enough sufficient physical evidence for you, lieutenant?” you tease, but the bite is gone from your voice, replaced by exhaustion.

PHYSICAL INSTRUMENT - You are too fucked out to even attempt sarcasm.

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim acknowledges your touch with a hum. For a moment he lays there, allowing his breathing to steady. “Hmm …” he ponders your words out loud and rests his finger against his chin as something brews in his mind. “I suppose this will do.” he smiles and flashes you a smug look. “But …”

REACTION SPEED - But?!

KIM KITSURAGI - “I’m afraid we failed to produce any conclusive answers as a result of this experiment. I still don’t have an understanding on how your - kmh - so called can-opening works.” Kim reminds you. He swirls his hand around his head lazily in an attempt to visualize your endlessly spinning thoughts.

RHETORIC - He makes a fair point, you never got around explaining your process.

VOLITION - The situation did get slightly out of hand…

HALF LIGHT - This is what happens when you only think with your dick, dumb fuck!

VISUAL CALCULUS [challenging:success] - There is no actual displeasure behind Kim’s complaint. His heavily lidded eyes are casting an affectionate gaze all over your body, looking at you with enough love to make a weaker man’s heart ache. If that isn’t enough proof, his mouth is curved into a lazy smile, framed by a pair of smile lines that have only deepened since meeting you.

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - This is a deeply satisfied man who regrets nothing.

YOU - Reassured, you squeeze Kim’s hand and play along; “Oh, right. Well, we can just do this again, right? I’ll can-open another secret out of you and we have another investigation!” you suggest, grinning playfully.

KIM KITSURAGI - Your enthusiastic words earn an inquisitive eyebrow from Kim. “Mmh, are you sure you aren’t harboring certain … ulterior motives with that plan, detective?” He asks, tone impossibly smug. To drive his point home, Kim gives your sweat and semen covered body a purposeful glance-over.

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [heroic:success] - You catch a glimpse of pride intertwining with deep affection in his gaze.

YOU - Caught red handed, you grin shamelessly. “What if I am? Are you complaining?”

KIM KITSURAGI - Kim snorts. “Mm, you know I’m not.” he smiles and reaches to pat your belly. “But I don’t recommend digging any deeper right now…” Kim warns with a friendly tone, as he feels your endlessly running mind probing under his skin. “You will need more energy for that investigation, detective.”

SUGGESTION [easy:success] - Kim’s smile now emits an aura of danger. That’s the smile of a man who is still holding onto his best cards.

DRAMA - How exciting, my liege!

YOU - You can hardly wait.
