Neil beams. For whatever the hell reason, he doesn't know. "Did any guy ever offer to do any of the mentioned with you?" he continues. "You must have gotten a lot."

[doubletap]

The smile is overwhelming in a way, and makes him want to bury his face in the pillow... But instead he slips his arms around Neil, kissing his temple. He holds for a moment, then answers. "A bunch of oral offers. But as a lot of the guys have never had sex with a guy before, I wasn't too interested. I know what I'm doing, so I'd rather do the stuff. It's more pleasurable for both."

[goodfight]

Being in his boyfriend's arms proves far too nice for words. Neil lets the truth of that sink in, completely overtaking his mind. It is a beat before he continues.

"If they never had sex with a guy before," he starts, "how could they possibly suck you off? Properly?"

[doubletap]

"Mm," he considers. "Some probably could. It's not an over complicated theory. But most probably just wanted to try it to try it. Or because some were honestly, uh, cock hungry."

Gay terms with Neil are an interesting mental feeling.

[goodfight]

Neil mulls over the term. "They just wanted the cock is basically what you're saying."

[doubletap]

"Yeah," he replies. "Some people are just naturally bottoms--"

Er.

"...Like receiving, I mean."

[goodfight]

He falls to silence at the slip, letting it prolong for as long as humanly.

Then: "You seem to avoid using the terms 'top' and 'bottom' a lot," states Neil.

[doubletap]

Awkward turtling, go.

Alex lets go, leaning back to view Neil. "Using the term bottom seems to be disrespectful to you."

[goodfight]

An eyebrow skyrockets to the ceiling. "But I am literally on the bottom during full-on sex," he points out.

[doubletap]

Stares. "...And I thought you would hit me if I made mention that you were taking it."

A beat. "Some men can feel really emasculated from that."

[goodfight]

Richards had said the same. "Because it's playing the woman's role," Neil repeats aloud. "To everyone else."

He shrugs. "I am taking it, aren't I? I barely do anything as it is." A fact the young man is hoping to adjust. "How am I supposed to get mad at that?"

[doubletap]

Staaaaaares.

"I... suppose. I really did assume you would think I was being a dick. And you definitely participate, Neil."

[goodfight]

"Well, before this week, probably. It does sound like an insult when you have no idea what being a bottom entails."

Neil mulls over the next claim. "If you were looking at this objectively," he begins, "how am I participating?"

[doubletap]

He doesn't take another beat of thought. "Sounds, holding on, gripping, grabbing, sounds, moving, loving, letting me inside of you... Also sounds."

[goodfight]

Staaaaaares.

"Do I really make that much noise?" Neil queries, suddenly self-conscious.

[doubletap]

He smiles. "You make the most euphorically energetic, passionate sounds that I have ever, ever heard."

[goodfight]

The most euphorically--

Neil pulls a hand away to cover his mouth. Red starts to blossom across his cheeks. "Shit." That's kinda embarrassing. "I don't actually go above a moderate volume, do I?"

[doubletap]

"Nah," he replies, reaching with a hand to thumb the red on Neil's cheek. He leans in to touch foreheads. "Don't be embarrassed. I love hearing you. It lets me know you like what I'm doing."

[goodfight]

"Oh, I don't mind you," Neil returns. "I just don't like other people knowing what we're doing."

Prying into their business. He drops his hand, however, eyes staying on Alex's. "You also know all that stuff is less active and more reactive," he adds.

[doubletap]

"If anyone ever heard," he offers sweetly, like the gentlest of loving words. "I could make it so they never hear again."

For the latter: "What are you telling me with that?"

[goodfight]

"...Are you going to fire off a double-barrel shotgun right next to their ear?" Neil asks eagerly. Mostly joking, of course.

He sobers at the next, frowning heavily. "Reacting takes less willpower," is the explanation. "Just feel like I don't actively participate is all."

[doubletap]

"Whatever you like," he croons to Neil. "It could be an anniversary present."

He listens to Neil's explanation, then shakes his head. "It's a two person dance. You're participating. Honestly."

[goodfight]

"Didn't we technically pass our anniversary already?" Neil suddenly cannot remember.

Hardly critical, however, as he glances away, eyes unreadable. "What should I do about this feeling, then?"

[doubletap]

"Wow, breaking the mood," he complains. "It was late--" Huh. "Late August." He is suddenly a little shy. "Which is now."

To Neil's question, Alex only responds. "Participate more, like you wanted. Take control until you're confident. Until you are comfortable showing how you feel in that manner."

[goodfight]

Slowly, carefully, Neil gives a sly smile. "So this quest came in at the perfect time," he declares. "How apropos." That a year since the last, they would be here, same place and not.

The thought has him showing more certainty at the suggestion. "Okay. Alright," he gives. "I will."
