[Futurelandia] The Thanksgiving and Early December Post

[ It's been around a month since everything started to change. And frankly, a damn sure more things have changed even in that month. There's simplistic ones, such as Masaomi getting a vasectomy which even if he tried to keep it on the downlow, everyone found out about because of what a whiner he was for his week of medical abstinence and everyone felt after that for how he proceeded to fuck every relevant woman in the house and who would sleep with him out of the house into submission for the next two or three days. Everyone sort of had a rude awakening there.

But then, some changes were bigger and more serious. A new member joined there pack (Veroncia) not all that long ago, and it was much to everyone except some of the adult's surprise. Everyone had to learn their new pecking order and where she fit in with the rest of them. Masaomi and Nariko continued their rituals and continued their seeing other people, to mixed results from both. Audrey was hanging around the house more, though she hadn't had the recommended Talk with Masaomi about joining, despite making this something of a second home for her. And of course, Junko's training continued despite the week long hiatus from it.

Everyone was changing, and everyone was adapting. Yamato even had a sexy car now. And at the culmination of everything, a sort of milestone in the midst of everything, there was Thanksgiving, the lead up to it, and the follow up after it leading into December. A time when a lot of people hung out in one house, and then things got weirdly tense for a variety of reasons. God bess us, every one. ]

[She has to spend Christmas Day with her family because they always open presents in the morning and then spend the rest of the day together. For as much as she - well, it's going to bother Ethan, maybe it already has, but there's only so much she can do. Her parents were distracted with the funeral business but she's still worried about alerting them. There's a sneaking voice in her that says she has way more to be freaked out about but, well. Only good things could come from suffocating your instincts, right?

It wasn't like Ethan was going to hurt her. Sure, he was a little weird and overbearing and he texted her more than she could ever hope to return, but that was fine. He liked her. When he looked at her it felt like she was the only person in the world, and that was what she wanted. This could work, if even just for the next few months.

That kind of explains why she's at his door in her winter coat, both arms laden with bags as she rings his door bell. Would his parents be there? She'd made sure to dress up very nicely and do her makeup just in case because she'd been lost in the throes of other last minute mall shoppers before making her way over here.

Hopefully he answers the door soon because it's fucking snowing, and she hates the cold.]

[ His parents are home! As are a few other members of his pack, after all, it's right near Christmas! Still, it's not like anyone else is going to get the door. Ethan had been waiting in front of the door since she had first said she was coming over. He was rocking in his seat, eager for her to arrive. He'd probably texted her about thirty times since then.

He's also in a gaudy christmas sweater, and he smiles as he gets the door for her ]

Junko. Please, do come in.

[She had become very used to ignoring her phone.]

Hi.

[If anyone told her she'd be smiling at Ethan Scarborough, and even genuinely happy to see him? She'd probably get in trouble for starting a fight of some kind. He was perfectly handsome, and he could certainly be hot at times but, just ... Well. She tries not to mind it because this is going to go on for at least the next few months. She won't graduate for another year and that's enough time to get what she needs and then break it off with the guy.

Right now it's just glitter and rainbows. Since she doesn't see any of his pack or either parent nearby she kisses his cheek.] Am I interrupting? I know some families do everything on Christmas Eve.

[ Ethan stands a bit straighter at the kiss, and he reaches out to offer an arm for the bags. Or rather, given his personality, he insists, and probably won't get out of her way until she either hands them off or explains why he can't take them. The young man's positively beaming at her though, and- ]

No, nothing of the sort! Nothing will be opened until tomorrow, though there was a fine dinner earlier. It's somewhat sad you missed it, my parents would have loved you to attend.

[At this point she knows what battles to pick to win the overall war. If he wants to take the bags he can, she's had everything wrapped so that he can't possibly see what she got him.] That sounds better than fighting with the crowds. I knew I should have been a little more organized with all of this.

[What that really means is 'I should have used Amazon Prime'.] Would your parents have wanted a strange girl around, though?

[What did he even tell them about her, again? She was kind of nervous about meeting them so she'd tried to steer clear but ... Well. That could only work for so long.]

But! Since you aren't opening anything until tomorrow that means I can trust you to do the same to my gifts, right? Oh, I got your dad a really beautiful tie and your mother a bracelet so I wanted to show them to you before I wrapped them ...

[Whether that would be before or after them messing around in Ethan's room kind of remained to be seen.]

You really should have! There was no reason to be so frazzled, Junko, my parents are delighted, eager to meet you. [ For, of course, there is no way that Junko would be so slapidash about shopping at this point! She was a genius, it's only natural she would have worked out the gifts weeks ago! Ethan smiles all the same, taking the bags in hand and leading her into the foyer properly.

Also he'd told them that she was his girlfriend and he was deeply in love with her. which made them both sort of like "eeeeh" but their son was a passionate boy so why not. ]

You have it on my honor I shall not open it until tomorrow though.

[ But where are they bound from here? His room, as usual? ]

You probably told them a bunch of stuff about me that can't possibly be true. ['Passionate' was a word for Ethan, sure. His parents must not know him very well.] I guess it would be a good idea to meet them soon, though.

[That's probably the exact opposite of what she needs to do but after a certain point isn't it going to be odd if she doesn't meet them? But, where is their tree? She pauses wherever it is to pull his gifts out of one bag to kind of neatly put them under the tree. There's a total of six in all.]

There! Can I wrap your parents in your room?

[Whether that would occur before or after making out and maybe a round of fucking was kind of up in the air.]

[ It's at the base of the staircase leading up to the second floor. It's a spiral staircase, so it's in the in the sort of crevice left behind by way of it curling around there. He takes count of the presents, smiling a little bit wider with each one. But oh, she - she's so humble, it's silly! She has no real reason to be! ]

Oh please, Junko. I would never lie about you to anyone - there is simply too much to be said in order to form a lie around! As I said, they would be so pleased to meet you. Everyone would, really!

[ She had briefly seen his pack's Alpha and met maybe one or two others. But he nods all the same, leading her towards his familiar room behind the staircase ]

One of these days you might have to accept that not everyone sees me the way you apparently do.

[And she's still not entirely sure why he sees her this way, either. Mostly she just avoids thinking about it, and that seems to keep things moving along well enough. They make it to his room and by now she feels comfortable enough to open and close it on her own, which is something of a milestone considering how touchy Junko can be about stepping in on other people's space.]

But before I meet anyone else, I haven't said hello to you!

[Was he putting the last bag down? She won't let much get in the way of a kiss, Ethan. You should know this already.]

And you must accept that I see perfectly clearly.

[ Said the crazy person.

But still! In his room, he does drop the bag. His room is methodical, clean, and almost clinical. It doesn't seem like the room of a teenage boy, everything in order and no doubt wiped down daily in order to keep the sheen of the room. It's not quit devoid of character, for the austere vibe to the whole thing does portray something, but it does seem almost devoid of personality. Or well, it would if not for the fact that framed pictures of her have started to appear on his bedside table and his dresser. Taken with her permission, of course! The most recently put up one even was taken of her in a compromising sexual position. That one even at her request!

She must have been so taken by passion, in that moment.

Still, ] Ah, no, you have not, have you!

[ He does. Honestly, if he learned anything in this last month it was that he sexual appetite was... something. As was her desire for kisses and other bits of affection. He welcomes it ]

[She really does want to kind of spruce up his room because it's just ... How does he not have more in it? It could make sense that it's clean, there's such a thing as clean teenage boys, but he didn't have a color set or an assortment of items, there are no nicknacks. It's like his parents just adopted him six months ago and gave him a room! But she doesn't pay attention to that because she sinks into that kiss. Frankly, he's not as good as Yamato or her dad but she's kind of gotten used to it!

When Junko pulls away it's with every intention of showing him what she got his parents but then she ... Sees that picture.]

What is that?

[She's - Okay, she remembers that particular bit of time but why is it just out in the open like this?!] How - Ethan, anyone could see this!

[The very embarrassing picture of herself is snatched from wherever it sits, and she presses it to her chest as if his mother might come in at any second.]

[ Ethan savors that kiss, and as he always does, he actually licks his lips when they pull back from each other, as if savoring every moment and every bit of her taste. The young man's lips curl up too as if in anticipation - ... but then she pulls the picture aside! He looks confused, and then he has the hurt puppy look which "attracted" her to him in the first place. He takes a sept closer to her, holding out his hand ]

That very same day as when it was taken, you had told me I needed to be more adventurous, Junko! I thought to be reminded if that day would help that.

[That definitely sounded like a thing she might say. Going from the more aggressive tendencies of her pack mates to Ethan who could maybe be accused of being soft was ... Difficult. Her hormones had calmed but she was turned on too easily, and when it happened she wanted to be plowed into the nearest surface. So for as willing as they were with one another there was a bit of adjusting.]

And you were! [She looks at the picture again ~~exactly how compromising is it~~ and blushes.] I'd still like that if you're okay with it! But do you really want other people to possible see this kind of thing? What if your mom or dad walked in here and saw me like this?

[He's not an idiot - just really goddamn weird sometimes - so she really can't understand why he thought to frame it in plain sight. In fact, she's not sure why all (?) of his pictures are only of her.]

[ The picture if of her licking his cum off her fingers, though she does have her top on, at least! She's clearly in a sexual haze of sorts, that sort of trance she seems to go into when they get too into things. He looks at her with a confused, hurt sort of look, looking from her to the door to his room, and finally around the room. There were ...! ... There was exactly two pictures in the room not of her - one of them of his family together all standing straight and wearing bowties and one of his pack as a whole while they were in some tropical location. ... And all wearing button ups despite that.

Junko do you not realize he's a fucking weirdo yet?

Still, he looks to her curiously and - ] Junko, I have aspired to understand you, and I know that you want me to be more of that sort of man, to pierce through that trance you so readily enter. My mother and father would no doubt understand that concern of mine, and see the beauty in my attempts to pierce the shroud. [ And he holds out the hand - ]

Please give it back, darling.

[Two pictures out of how many total, though? The odds couldn't really pan out in a reasonable manner! ... And of course he's a fucking weirdo. But he's at least a bearable fucking weirdo. But if that's what he thinks his parents would come to after seeing this picture then she has to wonder exactly how far the weird apple falls from the tree. Also, what does he even mean by 'pierce the shroud'? There's not an avenue of her life that doesn't involve a near embarrassing need for raunchy sex, she was always fated to that.

But for a second it looks as if she might give it back. She's kind of tired of fights and feeling isolated from people, and he actually seems kind of determined about this. But. She could also find out what happens when she actually tells him no about something that he isn't being such a cloudcuckoolander about.]

I can't. [She turns it over to get the back of the frame off. He can keep that, she just wants to put the actual photo in her purse.] I don't care if they're just on your phone and it's password locked but there's no way they'd let me be near you if they knew how I could be!

[After all, his pack doesn't seem nearly as sexual or free as her own, so it's kind of a valid concern.]

[ . . . ]

Darling. [ the way he says it could almost be seen as patronizing, if Ethan had more of a spine. But then, on the other hand, the man did sometimes try to control her wardrobe for dates they went on, and he did sometimes do other little bits of micro control over her, as if he was molding her into his image a little. But when she retracts his attempts to better join her world... he shakes his head, exhaling through his nose ]

My Father would never throw you out of the house.

[ He still was offended by that. ] And certainly not for showing a part of yourself.

[ Raunchy sex god, and all ]

[See, that would have been a perfect moment for him to, like, throw her down on the bed and demand she listen to him or something! But he doesn't have that in him and, not for the first time, she knows it's not something you can manufacture in a person. It can't be trained into him the way her father had shifted her body and her hormones.

When he brings that up they both end up looking hurt.] I apologized for that!

[It's been a month! Was he going to hold onto it for the rest of his life?] Can you just keep it in your drawer? We can take a different picture to replace it.

[One that didn't show her gobbling his cum.]

[ That would definitely be how Koji, Nariko, or Masaomi would handle the situation. Probably be how Sullivan, Tom, or Emily handled it. And might be how Yamato handled it but chances are he would have convinced her some other way than to be like that. Still, Ethan leans back and he closes his eyes. He exhales out of his nose... no, no, he wasn't being proper. To have that concern - ]

You did. It was not right of me to linger on that embarrassment. He simply didn't understand.

[ And he - ] Though I ask for the new picture to be of equal worth. And perhaps... [ . . . ] Perhaps more pictures to join it in my drawer.

Edited 2015-12-28 04:20 (UTC)

[Even though she gets an answer that works, one that she can be happy with ... She's definitely going home and seeing if Koji is up for banging her. Junko's already decided it in the moment that Ethan technically apologizes for being a jerk.]

So you basically want a collection of dirty pictures of me?

[That's what she's hearing.]

Would it be a misunderstanding on my part to think the idea of it would make you happy?

[ That all of his seed, even any he might release when not with her would be for her! That he could be motivated in all new ways to become more suitable for her hormones and the sexual demands that she made of him! It seems very natural for him, and he rotates the picture frame in his hand before setting it on the bed and taking a step closer to her to wrap his arms around her. ]

I love you, Junko.

[ PS Koji would love to ]

No, that's right! I was just impressed you would suggest it!

[But the reality of that is that she's allowing herself to think it's what Ethan might actually want when, really, he's still just trying to do as she all but tells him. She's putting up with his weird, creepy tendencies and he's putting up with her overtly sexual nature. And somehow in the middle of this he thinks she's someone he should be with for years.

They're incredibly fucked up and Junko Kida knows that in her own way. She just doesn't want to deal with it. But she will let him hold her, and do the same to him.]

I. [She still gets a little hesitant about saying it back to him in person. It's easy over text because she pretends she's texting her brother.] I love you, too. [Yamato.]

[ The sexual nature she's in denial of one of these days she's going to explode and suck a million dicks.

Not that he knows it, or even believes that's possible, right now. So instead, he smiles a little wider, utterly convinced by her. Utterly taken with her. And he leans down to close the distance and kiss her full on the lips, lingering there for a long moment. He pulls back, and he lingers there, as if asking her if she wanted to go to the presents for his parents and or if she had gotten excited by this conversation. ]

Edited 2015-12-28 05:02 (UTC)

[Of course she was excited, if someone looked at her a certain way then Junko would be excited. She's more than happy to lean up into that kiss, get lost in it to the extent that her thoughts calm down almost entirely. But he always pulls away too quickly. Always. Her scent is more than a little present between them and even after just a few days of holiday imposed abstinence there's something backed up about it.

But she doesn't kiss him again.]

Right, so, I was going to show you what I got your parents!

[ And even when Ethan reacts to her scent, as he does now, to an extent, he doesn't force the issue. He instead backs off a step and nods, smiling for her as he takes a step back and takes the picture frame off the bed to set it on a nightstand. She'll put the picture in his drawer, right? And they can sit there on the bed!

It's perfect!

Also his own scent smells a little bit like an air cleaning fluids or an air freshener. Sterile, but not ... bad smelling, per se. ]

Ah, yes! Let's see them then!

[She reaches into the bag to pull out the one gift each she got his parents, and:] So, I thought tie for your dad, it was the highest quality I could find, and there was a set of matching cufflinks and a jacket, too, but I didn't know his size and if this might be his style or not.

[Whether it is or isn't Junko's clearly got stellar taste, and she can return the tie for something other than the royal blue color that it is. The other package is ... ]

And this is a bracelet, I saw your mom wearing earrings from the same collection, but I don't know if she already has it, or maybe it's presumptuous to buy a woman jewelry when you aren't her significant other.
