\u201cSurfing porn on Tumblr again?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae Park didn\u2019t jump, though it was a near thing. \u201cAnd I only found pictures of your mom,\u201d he replied. Which was, after all, the only appropriate thing to say to your roommate when he almost caught you avoiding your International Governance project and instead surfing for porn on tumblr<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, yeah, slapped down, Parkland. Park street. Park slope. Car Parker.\u201d Paul Whitman, Jae\u2019s roommate, gave a little victory dance in the doorway of their suite.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does that even mean?\u201d Jae asked, not for the first, or even tenth, time. It was a reflex he couldn\u2019t stop, since he didn\u2019t want to know and always regretted getting an answer to.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt means\u2026 that I win!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYay. Douchebag point goes to you this conversation. Go you,\u201d Jae said, in the driest tone of voice he could manage.<\/p>\n
Paul smirked at him. \u201cYou know you\u2019ll miss me when I\u2019m gone, Park Ranger!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWill I? Let\u2019s try and see.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHah! The Parkour tries for a point. Woohoo! Cultural assimilation\u2019s almost here!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae closed his eyes and briefly ran through the Massachusetts homicide statutes in his head. He was reasonably sure he could get acquitted if it came to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m off, time to go trolling for pussy,\u201d Paul proclaimed.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid the animal shelter\u2019s restraining order finally lapse?\u201d Jae shot back. He was proud of that one. It had taken him a couple of days to work up after Paul\u2019s last laughably unsuccessful attempt at to find someone for sex.<\/p>\n
\u201cYuk it up, Jae, but I\u2019m off to find me some love!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t forget your penicillin.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe burn\u2019s how you learn, Jaywalker!\u201d With a jaunty wave, Paul left their room, thankfully shutting the door behind him.<\/p>\n
Jae let his head thump back against the wall. He wanted to be a diplomat, but couldn\u2019t manage to deal with his own deeply irritating roommate.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne more year,\u201d he muttered to himself. \u201cGet the BA, get an apartment. No privileged assholes in grad school.\u201d He\u2019d said that to himself so many times he almost believed it, or at least could mutter it with a mostly-straight face.<\/p>\n
Jae went back to his laptop where he had, indeed, been surfing for porn on tumblr. It wasn\u2019t, he reflected as he clicked through, particularly hard to find. Unfortunately what it was starting to be was boring<\/i>.<\/p>\n
He really, really needed to find a nice guy and get laid. If he could only bring himself to do it.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Jae was sitting outside the math department building enjoying the late fall weather and watching KPop videos when he got the weirdest recommendation.<\/p>\n
The still shot was a close-up of someone\u2019s eye. Normally that wouldn\u2019t be that interesting, except in this case the iris was silver. Real silver, with a vertically split pupil. Not much of the skin around it showed, but what did show was an azure blue.<\/p>\n
The picture was a little blurry, but it looked like a real eye, not some photoshop image. Probably with contacts and makeup, but it was still an impressive bit of cosplay.<\/p>\n
Just because, Jae played the video. The eye blinked and the camera pulled back enough to show most of the face.<\/p>\n
It was a handsome face, one attached to someone clearly dedicated to their role, as every bit of skin was the same blue. It was nicely done, with no streaks, smears, or pink showing. There were even a few freckles scattered across the cheeks in a darker blue.<\/p>\n
The face broke into a full grin, showing a mouthful of pearly white, very pointed teeth. Jae was impressed with the dental work. Until his mouth opened there wasn\u2019t any sign of the bulging you usually got with appliances.<\/p>\n
Not that Jae stared at guys’ mouths a lot or anything.<\/p>\n
Of course.<\/p>\n
\u201cAwesome,\u201d it said, in a bro-dude voice with just the faintest hint of sibilance on the \u2018s\u2019. Then the video ended.<\/p>\n
Jae sat for a moment and just looked at the end frame. The grinning blue face and pointed teeth just looked so happy, something that he very much wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cFine,\u201d he said, and hit the subscribe button. He could use some more videos of cute guys, even if they were weird. The accent was a little odd, probably because of the teeth.<\/p>\n
He swiped back to replay the video, and his phone crashed.<\/p>\n
Biting back a curse, he restarted his phone. He wanted to try the video again, but he had class and couldn\u2019t wait, so he grabbed his stuff and set off across campus. He could always go back and watch it later.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
It was Thursday, and Jae was sitting in the back corner of the dining hall, hiding from the rest of his study group from his Cold War Treaties class. He was eating a boring sandwich, one of a thousand boring, tasteless sandwiches he\u2019d eaten since he\u2019d started school, when his phone buzzed with a YouTube notification: \u2018You have a new video!\u2019<\/p>\n
The notification was useless, as they almost always were. Still, anything to distract him from the monotonous travesty of his sandwich was worth it. Damned Americans and their mayonnaise. Jae was pretty sure half his classmates would have their heads explode if they were served food with actual flavor.<\/p>\n
The video had a normal enough thumbnail. There was a clear view of a dorm room, pretty much like every other dorm room he\u2019d seen. A few ragged posters were on the wall, off to the right there was the end of a loft bed, and there was a chair right in the center of the camera\u2019s view. Most of the background was pretty blurry; whoever was filming this didn\u2019t have a very good camera, and most of it was badly pixelated.<\/p>\n
He clicked play. He wasn\u2019t expecting a whole lot, honestly. It was YouTube, so probably not porn. That was a shame, since he could do with some porn. Maybe not in the dining hall, but whatever, it wouldn\u2019t be like anyone would care that much. Or, since he was wearing headphones, even notice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, wait, I got this!\u201d The voice that came out of his earbuds was a mild tenor, with a vague accent that sounded like the Boston locals. The view shook a little, part of it obscured briefly by someone\u2019s fingers.<\/p>\n
\u201cAwesome, it worked! Hey, Torgin! It worked!\u201d It was the same voice he\u2019d heard on the video a few days ago, all happy bro-dude, with a little sibilance and a trace of Boston in it.<\/p>\n
When the hand moved he saw\u2026 a guy. A weird guy.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, he wasn\u2019t all that much different than many of the people he saw every single day. Young, maybe twenty, with a mustard yellow t-shirt, bright red baseball hat on backwards, and what looked like cargo shorts. He was also, purely objectively, kind of hot. Nice arms, the t-shirt was snug enough to make it clear that the body it covered was toned, and the hands had long thin fingers.<\/p>\n
They were really nice fingers. Really nice.<\/p>\n
Jae would\u2019ve done him in a hot second, if he wasn\u2019t on the other side of the video. And blue. Bright, cerulean blue. With ram horns curling up around the side of the hat. There were limits, and Jae drew them at cosplayers. Even hot, fit cosplayers, who pretty clearly were dedicated to their craft. Seriously. He figured the makeup would smear all over.<\/p>\n
That Jae would have to admit he wanted a guy was maybe an issue too.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello there, members of the inner tubes! Welcome to our first video! I\u2019m Drang! And this is Torgin! He\u2019s working the main spells. Say hi, Torgin!\u201d<\/p>\n
A crimson face, with long dark red hair and three small horns across his forehead ducked into the frame for a second. \u201cHi!\u201d he said, before pulling back.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the spell\u2019s stable,\u201d Torgin continued from off-camera.<\/p>\n
\u201cAwesome!\u201d Drang said again, throwing a weird fist bump. He liked that word. Jae thought it suited him.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we\u2019re crossing the Great Void to bring you our awesome selves!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYour awesome self,\u201d came Torgin\u2019s voice. \u201cI\u2019m just weaving the spells. You know I don\u2019t like to be imaged.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFine,\u201d Drang said, looking exasperated. \u201cMy truly<\/i> awesome self. Moving image logging across the Great Void. Woo! Go us!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae stifled a laugh. These two, whoever they were, definitely had their characters down. \u2018Great Void\u2019. Jae could almost hear the capital letters.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we\u2019re doing this project for extra credit, since Torgin\u2019s teleweaving prof said there was no way to tie into remote nodes asymptotically\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2014Asymmetrically!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever! But dude\u2019s a complete stub-tailed slime dripper, so we\u2019re doing it just because we can.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExcept we are! Because we\u2019re awesome like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe charge has just about run out, Drang.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, this is Drang and Torgin, saying \u2018hi\u2019 to the webbing tubes and we\u2019ll be back next alignment!\u201d<\/p>\n
Weirdly, once the video was done it stayed finished and didn\u2019t start playing anything else. Maybe there just wasn\u2019t anything like it.<\/p>\n
He tried replaying the video but just got an error. Retrying didn\u2019t help; the third time he refreshed the YouTube app didn\u2019t even try showing an error, just a black square where the video ought to be. Annoying, but better than having his phone crash.<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t sure how many people had seen it, since play count wasn\u2019t showing for some reason. Nobody had commented on the video yet, so he decided he\u2019d be first.<\/p>\n
You guys are pretty amusing<\/i>, Jae wrote into the comment box. It was this first time he\u2019d commented on a video, and seeing the \u201cJaeDancer\u201d account name out there on screen made him a little nervous. I\u2019d like to see more.<\/i><\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
It was only two o’clock on Saturday afternoon, and Jae was already regretting his decision to become a diplomat. That was a record for this semester \u2014 usually he didn\u2019t regret the decision for most of the weekend, and not until three-ish on weekdays. Once again he thought it was really unfortunate that he couldn\u2019t stomach the sight of blood. It\u2019d be so much easier to make his parents happy if he\u2019d gone to med school instead.<\/p>\n
\u201cLazy, whining, useless\u2014\u201d His impending rant about the other members of his study group was cut off by a ping from his phone.<\/p>\n
He took a deep breath and hoped YouTube wasn\u2019t trying to show him Neverland again. He was already depressed enough as it was, thank you very much.<\/p>\n
The notification was blank, so he just tapped on it and hoped for the best.<\/p>\n
His phone was filled with a still image of an oddly purplish cloth, with flecks of white. After a moment of buffering the video started.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo thank you comment webber, for your request. You wanted more, so here we are to oblige!\u201d<\/p>\n
From the voice it could only be \u2018Drang\u2019, his oddly endearing cosplayer. Jae wondered how long he\u2019d keep going with these videos before he got bored and stopped.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou wanted it, so\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
And with that the camera moved back a bit. The white flecks resolved into the remains of a logo of some sort, though from the shadows it had left behind he couldn\u2019t tell what it was a logo for.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s time for the big reveal! Ta-dah!\u201d<\/p>\n
With that the shirt was whipped all the way off. What was revealed were a set of nicely cut abs with some shadowed cobbling, as well as a pair of square, nicely muscled pecs. The nipples were small with silver bars through them.<\/p>\n
Jae had no idea, until right that moment, that he had a thing for pierced nipples. A big<\/i> thing, if the pain from his near-instant erection was anything to judge by.<\/p>\n
All the skin was that same azure blue as he\u2019d seen in the previous videos. Drang\u2019s dedication to his role clearly hadn\u2019t wavered \u2014 there were no signs of makeup, no streaks or spots of pink showing in the blue. Even the t-shirt had been clean.<\/p>\n
Well, OK, it wasn\u2019t clean<\/i>, but it didn\u2019t have any streaks of blue makeup on it.<\/p>\n
He was, Jae noted somewhat vacantly, an innie. More importantly he was about as perfect a fit for Jae\u2019s tastes as anyone he\u2019d seen, and not even the cosplay kink did anything to counter that. Made it even more perfect, if Jae was honest about it.<\/p>\n
As he reached down to adjust himself, Drang\u2019s voice said \u201cNice, huh?\u201d on the video, as a hand with thick, black, almost claw-like fingernails traced up the left side of the abs.<\/p>\n
Jae came right there in his shorts. And he didn\u2019t even care.<\/p>\n
He left a two-word comment on the video. Very<\/i><\/b> nice.<\/i><\/p>\n
Yeah, Jae thought to himself as he sagged to the ground. That\u2019s a diplomatic way to put it.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Jae was about a hundred and fifty Smoots across the Charles River, on his way back to campus at the end of his usual five mile run. The arc of the bridge made it seem like the buildings on the far side were slowly rising out of the ground. It was a kind of magic, and one he enjoyed. At least until his phone chimed with an incoming text: Project time, Linkin Park!<\/i><\/p>\n
Jae shuddered to a stop. Just the idea of getting back to his dorm room to spend the rest of the afternoon with his extraordinarily annoying roommate killed the good feelings from the run dead.<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t even lie to himself and think that partnering with Paul for a project in his Lit class had seemed like a good idea at the time. It had been an awful idea, and he knew it. He just hadn\u2019t been able to say no before it had been too late.<\/p>\n
\u201cNever take the same class as a roommate ever again,\u201d he muttered to himself.<\/p>\n
That got him a weird stare from one of the other joggers going by. Not for long, since she kept on running. Jae didn\u2019t recognize her, and for once he realized the opinion of someone he\u2019d never see again didn\u2019t actually matter much. Besides, everyone talked to themselves once in a while, right?<\/p>\n
He also had a notification from YouTube that he had a new video to watch. He\u2019d seen that earlier, while he was running past the boat house, but he\u2019d ignored it then. Jae decided not to ignore it now \u2014 standing on the sidewalk watching a video on his phone wasn\u2019t a great idea, but anything to delay the inevitable seemed worth it.<\/p>\n
The thumbnail image was Drang\u2019s messy dorm room. Messier dorm room, rather. It had acquired a new pile of books and a bowl with a half dozen apple cores.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe won!\u201d<\/p>\n
On screen Drang threw himself into his chair, making it slide to the right with the sound of wood scraping on tiles. He was wearing a baseball hat, of course, still backwards. This one was white with streaks of ochre on it, like some kind of alien grass stains. They matched the streaks on his face. His t-shirt was covered in smears of brown and ochre as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe played the Delt Eps and beat \u2018em eight to six! I got three half-tags and two assists. Pretty cool. We figured we\u2019d get our tails handed to us, since the Eps have a couple of flyers, but luckily they suck.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBet it was awesome,\u201d Jae said with a smile. Drang\u2019s enthusiasm was contagious.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was,\u201d Drang said into the camera, \u201ctotally awesome!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThought so,\u201d said Jae. He didn\u2019t even care that he was talking to a video on his phone while he stood on the side of a bridge in broad daylight.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven better, Torgin scored! Which was cool, because he almost never plays any more. Which he really should, because it was only one broken horn and they grow back after a while. It\u2019s not like he got his tail dislocated or anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang winced. \u201cNow that<\/i> really hurts. But doesn\u2019t matter, nothing broken and we won!\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when Drang deflated. \u201cUnfortunately now I\u2019ve gotta work on my midterm project because someone<\/i> mentioned that maybe we were working on interweb node interdiction\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cInterfacing,\u201d murmured Jae.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we got told that we definitely weren’t working on that, because undergrads didn\u2019t do that kind of thing without supervision, which means we can\u2019t present it as our project. Which sucks, and not in a good way.<\/p>\n
\u201cStill! They can\u2019t tell us to stop if they don\u2019t know we started. And this is fun, so what the heck, right? And it\u2019s a lot more fun than this.\u201d Drang waved a thick hardcover book at the camera. The cover art was some kind of eye-twisting pattern that the camera Moire\u2019d out on as it moved.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree hundred and eighty-six shards. For this! It\u2019s nuts! And they don\u2019t even sell them used because this term there\u2019s a new edition. Just like last term.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang looked to the side for a moment. \u201cAh, rips, the charge is\u2014\u201d And with that the video ended.<\/p>\n
Jae leaned against the bridge railing for a moment, basking in the late fall sun and laughing at the video. Congrats on the win!<\/i> he commented. Glad Torgin survived unscathed. And I sympathize on the books. I paid 1200 this term myself.<\/i> If Drang, or whoever he was, could keep it in character the least Jae could do was play along.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
It was sometime past nine when Jae\u2019s phone told him there was another video up. He was in the lounge working on his Modern Asian History homework and avoiding his roommate\u2019s newly discovered and disconcertingly enthusiastic love life as best he could manage. Jae still was trying to forget what he\u2019d he\u2019d walked in on the previous evening. There were some things he just didn\u2019t want to know could be done with scotch tape and coffee mugs.<\/p>\n
He was so, so glad he didn\u2019t drink coffee.<\/p>\n
Videos were a whole lot better than homework and hadn’t, to date, been mentally scarring so he started it up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate this stuff,\u201d Drang said into the camera. \u201cNode balancing. What do I need node balancing for? I want to build flutterways, not do dimensional engineering.\u201d Jae watched him pout a little. \u201cWell, I really want to do the dunesurfing circuit, but that\u2019s not going to happen. Anyway, that\u2019s the project they handed out today. Do a fully balanced cross-resonant sky weave, except we can\u2019t use one of the DeLanier sequences. Which isn\u2019t fair, since that\u2019s what we spent the first half of the semester on.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang threw himself back into his chair and almost tipped over. Jae watched him flail around wildly, almost knocking off his ever-present backwards baseball hat. That was a little disappointing. Jae was hoping in one of these videos that the hat would come off. He wasn\u2019t sure if he wanted to see the fake horns came with it, finally breaking the cosplay illusion, or if he wanted to see that Torgin was dedicated enough to keep them on anyway.<\/p>\n
\u201cPfft,\u201d Drang said, after he caught his balance. \u201cGuess Da was right, if I can\u2019t even sit right there\u2019s no way I could do pro sports.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae\u2019s heart broke at the sad tone in Drang\u2019s voice. It didn\u2019t last, though. Drang was just\u2026 happy<\/i>. Nothing bad stuck for very long.<\/p>\n
\u201cTime to work, though! Torgin\u2019s roommate Krift is always saying node balancing is easy, it\u2019s just like disc shifting, only in six dimensions. I\u2019m the best three dimensional \u2018shifter in the frat, so it\u2019s gotta only be twice as hard, right? \u2018S just math!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae laughed at that. He had no idea what node balancing was, and the explanations that Drang had given for disc shifting sounded nuts. He was also pretty sure that math really didn\u2019t<\/i> work like that. Not in the real world, at least.<\/p>\n
In Drang\u2019s world it probably didn\u2019t either. It was still an awesome performance. Jae hoped that whoever was making these videos was getting a good grade, or at least having a good laugh, out of all of them.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll do fine,<\/i> he typed into the comment box. Remember to double-check your work! And don\u2019t take the short cuts, you know that always gets you in trouble.<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cThere,\u201d he whispered to himself. \u201cI can play along too.\u201d He was just helping someone out on what was, he was sure, a project for a film class. Really.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026And make sure you finish chapters eighteen through twenty for Monday. I expect six pages contrasting the effects of imposing the EU legislative frameworks on two late-entry member nations of your choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae winced at that. It was only Wednesday, but getting that paper done was going to eat up at least eight hours in research alone. Just like three of his other classes that week. He didn\u2019t even want to think about the group project he had. Or the group he was stuck doing it in. It\u2019d be worth it when he had his degree. That\u2019s what he kept telling himself.<\/p>\n
His phone had sat in his messenger bag during class, the distraction tucked safely away. When he pulled it out to check he saw he missed two calls from his mother, a dozen Tumblr updates, and a new video on YouTube.<\/p>\n
That last one, at least, was worth checking on. So far \u2018Drang\u2019 had done a dozen videos and hadn\u2019t broken character once. Jae was also the only person commenting on them so far. On the one hand he felt kind of bad for Drang and Torgin, since they were putting so much work into these. On the other it felt like they were kind of a secret, something just for him that was separate from his outside life.<\/p>\n
He kind of liked that. His outside life, frankly, made him miserable.<\/p>\n
The thumbnail was a big still of Drang\u2019s face, mouth half open. He still wore that backwards baseball hat, yellow this time, with a few tufts of dark navy blue hair sticking out the closure of the hat. Jae slipped in his earbuds, looked around to make sure there wasn\u2019t anyone nearby, and hit play.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Jade! I saw your comment! Torgin says hi, and thanks. Also, books are expensive. Which sucks, \u2018cause they\u2019re pretty useless after the class is over.\u201d Drang looked grumpy. \u201cAnd my traffic management class really sucks, Beener is really twisting my tail, y\u2019know? This latest project is stupid<\/i>. I mean, yeah, we have to manage traffic<\/i>, \u2018cause that\u2019s kind of the point. This time he\u2019s got us mixing peds, slithers, and floats. On the same filmy?<\/i> Who does<\/i> that?\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang was clearly getting worked up over\u2026 whatever he was talking about. Jae wasn\u2019t sure, but it was consistent and realistic, and the guy playing Drang in these videos was really into his cosplay.<\/p>\n
Drang held up a piece of notebook paper with a really crude sketch of two towers. There was a line connecting their tops, what looked like a ribbon across the middle, and under that a playground slide. He\u2019d drawn crude stick figures on the ribbon, had some people with wings grabbing the line, and a few scrambled blobs on the slides.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeriously, it\u2019s stupid. It never happens. I mean, when would it? Floats always take the lines and slithers go for the slides. There\u2019s never enough mixed traffic on the filmys to make a difference!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae watched Drang pout over his homework assignment. It was kind of cute, really \u2014 a jock cosplaying some kind of blue demon-creature-thing making sad puppy faces like an offended toddler about pedestrian traffic problems.<\/p>\n
The video had no comments yet, of course.<\/p>\n
What if the lines break?<\/i> Not that Jae had any idea what he was talking about here, but lines were a kind of rope, right? Ropes broke sometimes. There were a lot of ways things could fail. Or maintenance. Something might be closed to be fixed. And fire \u2014 might not be able to get to one of the exits.<\/i><\/p>\n
***<\/i><\/p>\n
The biggest upside to eating in the dining halls, Jae had thought when he was a freshman, was that you got to see lots of your classmates in a social setting. The biggest downside to eating in the dining halls, he thought now that he was a junior, was that you got to see lots of your classmates in a social setting.<\/p>\n
Like, for example, Trevor Kennedy. Seeing Trevor at his table definitely didn\u2019t make lunch better.<\/p>\n
\u201cJesus, Jae, how can you eat that?\u201d Trevor said. He had a grilled chicken breast and something green that had been steamed into unrecognizability.<\/p>\n
Jae looked down at the plate of noodle goo and overcooked, unidentifiable bird he\u2019d gotten on his way over to his study table. They kept on serving it, and while it was mostly tasteless with a nasty texture, Jae\u2019d found that if you put enough Sriracha on it the stuff was tolerable. He\u2019d done that, and the goo was\u2026 orange. At least it had some flavor.<\/p>\n
\u201cI make do,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMan, you guys gotta make everything look like kimchi, don\u2019tcha?\u201d<\/p>\n
He sighed. \u201cI\u2019d kill for some kimchi right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDude, gross. It\u2019s like, hot rotting cabbage.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTasty, well-aged cabbage,\u201d Jae corrected.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever,\u201d Trevor said. \u201cCatch you at three at the Kennedy? We have that project and the others are getting antsy to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae suspected they were waiting for someone else to actually do the project, given how far they\u2019d gotten on it.<\/p>\n
\u201cSure,\u201d he replied. Part of diplomacy was not saying things. Jae had gotten extremely good at that this semester.<\/p>\n
Trevor left, and in a moment of weakness and relief Jae slumped back into his chair. He took a few deep breaths, but his attempt at meditation was interrupted by a new-video notification from his phone.<\/p>\n
The thumbnail was a typewritten page in an alphabet Jae didn\u2019t recognize. From the formatting it looked like the title page of a paper, and across the top was what looked like a grade, in bright red ink. He slipped on his headphones and hit play.<\/p>\n
\u201cA-minus. Woohoo, an A-minus! Thanks to the awesome Jade Ancer!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae smiled at how Drang decided to pronounce his username. It was kind of cool how Drang kept in character through all the videos.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were right, it was all about emergencies, not that the soft-scaled jerk actually said that. \u2018The purpose of the assignment was to teach you to explore the full problem space before deciding on a course of action,\u2019\u201d Drang said with a ridiculously snobby accent. Then he snorted.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd half the class completely missed it. I would’ve too if you hadn\u2019t said something. Thanks, Jade!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae knew the warm, happy feeling he had wasn\u2019t real, since Drang was just someone playing a part. That didn\u2019t matter, because he still did.<\/p>\n
Cool<\/i>, he commented. Glad it helped.<\/i><\/p>\n
A second later his phone pinged and the chat window opened up.<\/p>\n
Hey, ur here! On! Smthing like that.<\/i><\/p>\n
Jae smiled at the text in the chat window. Apparently in cosplay-land they didn\u2019t have autocorrect. That was\u2026 charming, somehow, and very in-character.<\/p>\n
dnt no the spiders did chats!<\/i><\/p>\n
Everything does chats these days<\/i>, Jae wrote back.<\/p>\n
Kul! On ltr? Gotta go sun, got a hot dat!<\/i><\/p>\n
The idea of Drang on a date was surprisingly painful. That was kind of stupid, Jae knew. Drang was no doubt straight, and dated sorority girls. Or he would if he were real. The cosplayer probably did. No amount of makeup would give you the abs and arms that Drang had.<\/p>\n
Sure,<\/i> Jae replied. I\u2019ll check back before bed.<\/i><\/p>\n
Awsm! Kach you l8r!<\/i><\/p>\n
It would\u2019ve been ridiculous, and a little stupid, to get really cheered up by someone playing a character on the internet. That\u2019s why Jae didn\u2019t think about it at all<\/i> while he put his stuff away and gathered up the remains of his mediocre lunch.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
\u201cJaeson, Jaymaster, Jaybird! I\u2019m borrowing your body wash! Got a hot date with Tiffany!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t,\u201d Jae said. It was 6AM, and too early to be dealing with idiots. Not that it mattered, nor would it change anything, but he felt obliged to protest. \u201cAnd it\u2019s not even breakfast yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUh huh,\u201d Paul replied, sticking his head out from behind the bathroom door. \u201cAnd three guesses what I\u2019m eating this morning!\u201d He leered and waggled his tongue in a truly disconcerting way.<\/p>\n
\u201cCrab?\u201d Jae guessed.<\/p>\n
\u201cHah! Nothing but top quality fish for me!\u201d The bathroom door shut, and Jae pulled the blanket up over his head. He knew hiding wouldn\u2019t help anything, but it helped muffle the noise. Though the one upside to Paul getting laid regularly was Jae didn\u2019t have to hear him beating off in the shower. Or see the remnants on the tiles afterward.<\/p>\n
While he was hiding he could catch up with the video that was waiting for him. It had been put up the previous evening, but the project group hadn\u2019t broken up until 1 and he\u2019d just wanted to get some sleep.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe that fucker!\u201d Drang started yelling at the video before he even sat down. He was so angry that Jae could swear his eyes were glowing red. He paused the video and looked closer \u2014 they actually were glowing. There was a little smoke coming out of his nose, too. Jae was seriously impressed at the work Drang was putting into these videos.<\/p>\n
\u201cTotal bigoted slime dripping skeezeweasel<\/i>. I mean, dude, I hardly sat down before he was all \u2018oh, you\u2019re a Tharg<\/i>.\u2019 only snobby like he had his own tail stuck up his ass.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018He\u2019. That one pronoun shot through Jae like lightning. Drang dated guys<\/i>. He was gay<\/i>.<\/p>\n
\u201cFuck, of course<\/i> I\u2019m a gods-damned Tharg. How stupid was he that he couldn\u2019t figure that out? Oozing hells, didn\u2019t he think to ask Torgin? Or even ask my name<\/i>? Asshole.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d he said, cutting himself off. \u201cI like assholes. He was just a flame brained, no class, judgemental cack-head.\u201d Drang put on another one of those pouts that Jae found so adorable. \u201cI swear, I\u2019m never letting Torgin set me up blind again. Worst. Date. Ever.\u201d<\/p>\n
No<\/i>, thought Jae. Maybe the best<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Drang sank back into his chair. \u201cI know it\u2019s late, and you\u2019re probably asleep, Jade. Maybe we can chat later.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae thought for a moment. Sorry it was such a disaster<\/i>, he typed into the comment box.<\/p>\n
Then, before he could think twice about it and get in his own way he added If it had been me we would\u2019ve had a good time. Promise.<\/i><\/p>\n
A whole lot better time than he was having with his own hand, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t want to fail! They\u2019ll throw you out and no good school will take you. Your grandfather would be ashamed!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, mother,\u201d Jae replied. Calls from his mother were the only time he got actually speak with someone in Korean but he was finding, after three years of nearly failing with a 4.02 GPA, that it was less appealing than it was when he\u2019d first started school.<\/p>\n
His phone pinged with a new video alert, and he gave a silent prayer of thanks for the excuse.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to go, mother<\/i>,\u201d Jae lied. \u201cI have a meeting I should not miss.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n
He shouldn\u2019t have enjoyed hanging up on her, but he did anyway.<\/p>\n
Thirty videos and six impromptu text chats, and he was totally infatuated with his blue cosplayer. He was adult enough to admit it. Maybe not to another human being, or even out loud. But those were just details.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, look what happened today! I got my midterm spell circle project back!\u201d Drang held up a white sheet of paper that had to be half a meter square. On it there was a complex diagram that looked like some kind of elaborate, decorated pentagram with extra flourishes. He\u2019d been watching so many of these videos that Drang\u2019s cosplay-blue fingers holding the paper didn’t even register any more<\/p>\n
\u201cI totally thought I was going to fail, but nope! Because of you-know-who,\u201d and Jae did, because it was him. \u201cI got an A! Awesome!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTold you,\u201d Jae said to the screen. It didn\u2019t matter that he wasn\u2019t recording, and that nobody could actually hear him. He was proud that his friend had done well, even if it was in one of his fake classes. The enthusiasm was real and he was happy to be swept along into something he hadn\u2019t felt for himself in longer than he could remember.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe prof especially liked these bits,\u201d Drang continued, as he held the paper up closer to the camera. The image went all pixelated as the sharp lines, drawn in some kind of sparkly green ink, filled the screen. As the image stabilized Jae could see the diagram in its entirety, done up in an elaborate Art Nouveau style, the five-sided star bordered with swooping vine-like flourishes.<\/p>\n
The diagram was as much art as diagram, and pretty. Jae reached out to touch the picture on his phone screen, tracing the edge of one of the star\u2019s legs.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when the world flashed white. Then he blacked out.<\/p>\n
The blackout only lasted a second before reality reasserted itself. It did so along with gravity, which was somewhat unfortunate since Jae was now about two feet above the surface of a desk. He squawked, dropped, and rolled off all in one move, then fell a few feet face-first to the ground.<\/p>\n
All the stuff on the desk \u2014 a collection of books, papers, pencils, a pair of boxer shorts, a saucer full of dirt, and what felt like a large rock \u2014 fell with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cOuch?\u201d<\/p>\n
He sat up and rubbed his head, just in time for a glass of something foully peppermint-scented to tip over and splash right on top of his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d Jae grumbled.<\/p>\n
He stood up and stripped off his shirt. Half of it was covered in the nasty milkshake he was wearing, but half was dry and he tried his best to wipe the worst of it out if his hair.<\/p>\n
\u201cAah! Holy shit, what are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae spun and almost fell again at the exclamation from behind him. In the doorway to the room stood something, or someone, big, blue, and very surprised. He recognized the voice, though.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrang?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026 know me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou really take this cosplay thing seriously,\u201d Jae said. His head was still a little fuzzy. \u201cAlso how did I get here? This doesn\u2019t look like my dorm room.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt worked. It worked! Awesome!\u201d Drang jumped and punched the air. \u201cI summoned a real demon! Woohoo! Wait,\u201d he said suddenly. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to eat my soul or anything, right? I mean, that wouldn\u2019t be cool.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, of course not,\u201d Jae said. He wasn\u2019t sure what Drang was talking about, and he still wasn\u2019t thinking clearly. \u201cWhy would I do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s what demons do,\u201d Drang said solemnly. \u201cThat\u2019s what they tell us in class. You summon them and if you\u2019re not careful they\u2019ll suck your soul.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour soul isn\u2019t what I want to suck,\u201d Jae blurted out. He flushed a deep red, matched a moment later by Drang\u2019s dark blue flush. \u201cSorry, I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m saying.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUh. Yeah, um,\u201d Drang stammered. \u201cProbably the crossing. The books say it can, um, confuse things.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m certainly confused. What\u2019s going on, and how did I get here?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re a demon,\u201d Drang said slowly. \u201cI summoned you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou said that already,\u201d Jae said, hands on his hips and irritation clear in his voice. \u201cRepeating it doesn\u2019t mean it makes any more sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang started to say something, then stopped. He did this twice more, though Jae saw that Drang was staring him straight in the nipples. A quick glance at the slowly growing bulge in Drang\u2019s dirt-stained cargo shorts gave \u00a0him a good idea exactly why he was distracted too.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrang, it\u2019s Jae. I\u2019ve been commenting on the videos you\u2019ve been making. We\u2019ve been chatting for the past couple of months. Remember? JaeDancer?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJade? That\u2019s you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJae, yes, it\u2019s me. You sound surprised, I thought from the way you talked you knew what I looked like.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just assumed,\u201d Drang mumbled. \u201cI didn\u2019t know you really smoked.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae decided to take that as a complement. \u201cHow did I get here? I was watching your last video, with your spell circle homework.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I aced that! Hey, thanks,\u201d Drang said. \u201cYou helped a bunch!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway,\u201d Jae continued, pushing through Drang\u2019s relentless enthusiasm, \u201cI was watching and touched the image and then\u2026 I was here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang looked horrified. \u201cYou touched the spell circle? You don\u2019t ever touch circles, that\u2019s not safe!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll remember that for next time,\u201d Jae said. \u201cCan I, uh, get cleaned up somewhere?\u201d<\/p>\n
In his head he was kicking himself. He was supposed to be more clever than this \u2014 that was what he was training for, and what kind of diplomat stammered and said stupid things? One standing in front of a dead-sexy tall blue guy with curly ram horns, an innocent blush, and a couple of inches of gorgeous abs showing as he scratched behind his head. That kind, apparently.<\/p>\n
\u201cSure,\u201d Drang said. He sniffed. \u201cUh, sorry about the kaffir<\/i>, I meant to clean the desk off last week but, well\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMidterms, right,\u201d Jae said. He remembered how haggard Drang had looked in the videos the previous week. Not that it made the sticky, stinking mess matted in his hair any more pleasant.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe shower\u2019s in there?\u201d Drang pointed at the door<\/p>\n
While it was phrased as a question, the bathroom was, indeed, right there. It was a mostly normal bathroom, luckily for Jae. There was a half empty jar of horn polish by the sink, and the bathtub needed a good scrubbing. It was cleaner than he was, and that was the important thing.<\/p>\n
It took Jae a minute to get the unfamiliar plumbing working and the water to a temperature he liked, but when he did he stripped down and enjoyed the shower more than any he\u2019d had in years.<\/p>\n
The quiet gave Jae a chance to think, too. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t cosplaying,\u201d he murmured to himself. \u201cAnd he thinks I\u2019m a demon. I am, a demon, I guess. To Drang, at least.\u201d A very real, very attractive Drang. One who, as far as Jae could tell, kind of liked him. Almost as important, one that found Jae<\/i> hot.<\/p>\n
That thought brought on the expected reaction, but rather than being annoyed, or embarrassed, Jae almost\u2026 reveled in it. In this moment of quiet, he realized he was in some other dimension where nobody knew him and nobody had any expectations of him. Also? Extremely horny.<\/p>\n
Jae gave himself a shake. He was training to be a diplomat, right? Negotiate for what you wanted, make all sides happy? He could do that.<\/p>\n
Stepping out of the shower he dried himself off, then positioned the towel just right; low slung, just the tiniest bit of hair peeking over the edge, opening set so his right leg was bare and threatened to show more as he walked.<\/p>\n
He took a deep breath to steady himself and pushed open the bathroom door.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks,\u201d Jae said as he walked into the dorm room. He put the tiniest bit of a sway in his hips. \u201cThat stuff was really gross.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo problem,\u201d Drang said. He was kneeling in front of his desk picking up the last of the stuff that had fallen on Jae. \u201cIt was kind of my hnnnng\u2014<\/i>\u201d Drang cut off abruptly as he turned and looked at Jae.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat, is there something wrong?\u201d Jae asked, pretending alarm. He spun around to look back into the bathroom and \u2018accidentally\u2019 let the towel almost slip off.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, no, it\u2019s uh, nothing. Nothing, really,\u201d Drang stammered. As Jae turned back around he saw Drang pull a book into his lap. The move wasn\u2019t at all subtle, but, then, the huge tent he was pitching wasn\u2019t subtle either. Or completely hidden by the book.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrang,\u201d Jae said as he slunk over. \u201cAre you feeling all right?\u201d As he knelt down the knot on the towel slipped away, the only thing keeping it from falling off completely was Jae\u2019s burgeoning erection.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m\u2026 I\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, you really are,\u201d Jae breathed, then he lunged in with a fierce kiss.<\/p>\n
Drang tasted of orange and chocolate, and after a moment\u2019s stunned hesitation enthusiastically kissed Jae back.<\/p>\n
They fell together and half rolled on the floor, Jae ending up on top, Drang\u2019s hands tangled in Jae\u2019s hair, Jae\u2019s grabbing Drang\u2019s horns and pulling their faces closer together.<\/p>\n
The kiss was hot, and the hardness Jae felt pressing into his groin drove him into a frenzy. Drang\u2019s teeth were as sharp as they looked, the points drawing blood as their mouths mashed together.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re an incubus, I know it,\u201d Drang breathed when they finally broke the kiss. \u201cThey warned us about you in class.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid they?\u201d asked Jae. He was feeling bolder by far than he\u2019d ever felt in his life. \u201cWhat did they say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said you were crafty,\u201d Drang stammered.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh?\u201d Jae said. He slipped a hand under the hem of Drang\u2019s shirt, teaching his fingers along his side as his hand moved up, pushing the loose fabric up as he went. \u201cWhat else did they say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said said you were sexy. And\u2014\u201d His sentence was cut off with a shudder as Jae ran his tongue lightly around the edge of Drang\u2019s hard, square pec.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd?\u201d Jae asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd you might suck\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang cut off as Jae did indeed suck, right on Drang\u2019s nipple. Bit, too, though gently, taking the nub and the bar in it between his front teeth.<\/p>\n
Under him Drang bucked and gibbered incoherently. Jae slid his hand down Drang\u2019s side and under the waistband of his shorts, closing his fingers around the long hard penis beneath them. It felt odd, tapered without a blunt tip. It was covered with loose skin, subtly ridged. Definitely not human and Jae knew it was going to feel very, very good inside him.<\/p>\n
He stroked twice, very slowly, then let his hand go still. Drang twitched once, panting heavily.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrang?\u201d Jae said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuh? Yeah?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae stood up. He was nude, erect, unashamed, and felt very powerful. That was something he hadn\u2019t felt in\u2026 ever. \u201cWant to fuck?\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang went from dazed to alert in an instant, his eyes blown out and the faint smell of burnt cedar drifting in the air around him. \u201cOh, goddess, yes,\u201d he breathed.<\/p>\n
Jae grinned and reached a hand down. Drang grabbed it and pulled himself upright, his t-shirt falling back into place as he stood. Jae thought that was a shame, really. He was a few inches taller than Jae, and broad where Jae was slender. He was also fully clothed to Jae\u2019s casual nudity. Jae hadn\u2019t thought he could get any harder, but that turned out not to be the case.<\/p>\n
Jae reached up and pushed Drang\u2019s ever-present baseball hat off his head. Underneath it was short, dark navy hair, now sticking up in all directions. The horns, as he hoped, were real, and kind of cute as they curled around the sides of his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrang? You\u2019re really wearing too much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae had never seen anyone try so hard to get naked and still fail. Drang tried to strip off his t-shirt, undo his shorts, and toe out of his sneakers all at the same time. It didn\u2019t work and he fell onto the bed all tangled up in his clothes. His tail, which Jae found oddly endearing, was pinned to the bed, the blunt tip twitching with Drang\u2019s frustration.<\/p>\n
Jae laughed as he watched. Drang was like an over-eager puppy in a way, almost desperate to please. Or get laid. Could be either, and Jae was good with it. \u201cIt\u2019s OK, you don\u2019t have to strangle yourself,\u201d Jae said.<\/p>\n
As Drang sat up and worked the shirt over his head Jae knelt down and grabbed the waistband of the shorts. The top button was undone and they slipped off easily enough. They had a hole in the back big enough for Drang\u2019s tail to slip through. The boxers he was wearing underneath them were a dark, almost brown, orange silk.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, sexy,\u201d Jae teased<\/p>\n
Drang blushed. \u201cI, uh, kind of like how they feel,\u201d he mumbled.<\/p>\n
Jae ran his fingertips along the silky covered length and felt Drang\u2019s dick jump. \u201cI do too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He slid them down and over Drang\u2019s oddly shaped feet. They appeared to only have two toes, and another time Jae would find them fascinating, but right then he really didn\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
Drang was leaning back on the bed, elbows to the side and behind, legs spread. He was tensing up, making his abs clear. His tail quivered a little with the effort.<\/p>\n
Jae let his hands stroke Drang\u2019s legs as he looked at his body. He was that sexy dark blue all over, a little lighter between waist and mid-thigh. His sparse pubic fur was a midnight blue, and from what Jae could feel under his hands Drang had no hair on his legs.<\/p>\n
Drang\u2019s upper body was amazingly cut. Like he\u2019d briefly showed off in his video, he had visible abs and an innie navel. His pecs were square and nicely built without bulging with small nipples, both of which had silver bars through them. Drang\u2019s shoulders were wide and his arms were muscled.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re gorgeous, you know?\u201d Jae asked.<\/p>\n
Drang\u2019s twitching stopped all at once, and Jae realized he wasn\u2019t showing off so much as really nervous.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou think so? I\u2019m not anything special,\u201d he said. \u201cJust a Tharg, y\u2019know?\u201d There was a little bitterness in his voice. \u201cYou\u2019re the pretty one.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot \u2018just\u2019 anything,\u201d Jae said. He gave a small, real smile. \u201cWell, maybe just awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang paused for half a second, then gave a huge grin. \u201cYeah, maybe that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jae leaned forward a little and took a good look at the cock sticking up in front of him. Like he\u2019d felt, it was maybe eight inches long, an inch or so wide at the base, and tapered to nearly a point. It was covered in loose skin, and had a half dozen ridges along its length. It also curved slightly in, like it was pointing at Drang\u2019s navel. He apparently had no external testicles.<\/p>\n
Drang\u2019s excitement was obvious, both in how hard it was and how much it was leaking. The shaft was wet and shiny, and small amounts of fluid bubbled out of the skin around the tip, pulsing out in time with Drang\u2019s breathing. It smelled faintly of strawberry.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis,\u201d Jae said, \u201clooks\u2026 tasty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhoa, whoa, whoa, ow, teeth, no!\u201d Drang squawked as Jae leaned down to take him into his mouth.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrang,\u201d Jae said softly, his breath blowing across the wilting cock he held just in front of his mouth, \u201cmy teeth aren\u2019t pointed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, but,\u201d Drang protested. \u201cI don\u2019t\u2014wah! Goddess, goddess, goddess!\u201d he chanted as Jae sucked him down to the root before taking the next ten minutes to demonstrate the advantages of being a member of a species that didn\u2019t have needle sharp fangs.<\/p>\n
The power Jae felt, as he brought Drang to the edge of orgasm and held him there, was heady. Drang\u2019s precum flowed freely and tasted of strawberries. It was the most amazing thing Jae had tasted, and he wanted more.<\/p>\n
He had to force himself to stop and pull back. He was about to come just from blowing Drang and that wasn\u2019t what he wanted for his first time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m almost there, goddess, don\u2019t stop!\u201d Drang whimpered.<\/p>\n
Jae straddled Drang\u2019s prone body, his hard cock pointing straight at Drang\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext time,\u201d Jae said, \u201cyou can fuck me with your tail while I suck you off. But right now\u2026\u201d He shifted forward and up a little bit. One of his hands was next to Drang\u2019s head, the other reaching behind him and grabbing Drang\u2019s erection. \u201cRight now I want you to fuck me.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that he sat back, Drang\u2019s hard, slick, and pointed cock sliding almost perfectly inside him. It ran right along his prostate and he had one long, glorious, eternal moment of bliss before Drang grabbed his hips, thrust upwards, and made his his head explode.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Jae finally collapsed to the bed a couple of hours later, covered in sweat and come, exhausted and totally, amazingly satisfied.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat,\u201d he said, as he snuggled into the crook of Drang\u2019s arm, \u201cwas an excellent example of cross-cultural exchange.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMmmm,\u201d Drang agreed. \u201cIt definitely was.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo tell me,\u201d Jae asked. \u201cHow exactly do I get home?\u201d<\/p>\n
Drang froze. \u201cUh, well\u2026 about that\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
