[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. ]

[ He-

She- ... He- ]

... I've been rejected a lot. I've never actually rejected someone before. I'm not really used to it. Sorry.

[ That was way more honest than it needed to be. ... And seriously, did it have o be a dull commercial on right now which means he's pretty sure that Tom or Oactavio is watching them now ]

[Are they watching? She doesn't really care. Actually, nah, if Tom is there she might just end up trying to pull him off elsewhere for a little while. He could make her feel better.]

It's not the kind of thing where anyone ever feels good, Yamato, it went about as well as could be expected, so don't apologize, just let go of the whole thing.

[If nothing else she'd feel a lot better that way, too.]

Alright, I will. Sorry. [ . . . Okay, so let's change the subject. Not him, not Junko, not Ethan, apparently that that Thanksgiving is a sham of a holiday--

He inhaled and once more smelled - ]

... So you and Koji had fun earlier today?

[He's going right back to apologizing everywhere, she almost feels bad. But the mention of Koji is ... Well, yeah, it's probably kind of easy to smell on her, isn't it?] Ah, yeah, around this morning and some other times, too.

[If there was any hope of them actually being something Audrey might feel guilty about not telling Yamato earlier. But there's no standard now, it might as well be like talking to a bro about the whole thing.]

[ There might be a slight miscommunication here because he can't help but ask, (and yes, Tom at least was now distracted from the game to try to eavesdrop on this conversation. But he worked for a depth collection agency, so he's surprisingly stealthy about it, not even looking at them as he listens) ]

That many times in one day? Shit, I hope he's not wearing you out.

[ He sounded actually genuinely concerned about that ]

It'd probably be the other way around, but that's not what I meant. It happened this morning but it's not the first time or anything.

[That should clear it up easily enough, right?] He's fun, so we've been messing around.

[ At least he picked a somewhat decent topic here. He shakes his head - Audrey could wear Koji out like that? A part of his mind thus things he should really have a long session with her, it'd been a while. But he doesn't allow himself to ask that because it was random. So instead, ]

Knowing him, you probably didn't have a lot of choice in the first time. Sorry he's a ... [ Saying a "little shit" would be rude- ] a little aggressive.

I mean, I really liked it so it's not a bad thing.

[... Yamato do you even know her, she likes aggressive guys. They're a lot easier to deal with, and they don't tend to keep things all locked up in their own brains. Sure, it had been a little disarming from someone younger and smaller than herself, but he'd measured up just fine in the end, and by now he's probably learned a great deal from being with her, as Audrey was never one to let her partners know what she wanted. And as long as she got that, well, she'd be as submissive as they asked of her.]

He's kind of rough at times but it's good to have a challenge.

[ It's true, that was silly on his part. But relaxing into this topic, he shakes his head and grins a little more. He's kind of rough, but it's good to have a challenge. He wants to say something about how he'll challenge her more in future but he doesn't think that would be good for this moment precisely. So instead he hums a little, glancing at the TV. He turns back to her and smiles ]

I'm glad. I mean, that you're... you know. That you've been getting it on with people. [ Err-- ] I meant getting along. But both. Both is good too.

[ Hah. ] Actually-- [ Okay this is going well, so he can ask, ] You were over at least one of those days dad was going nuts, right?

[... He's very smart to refrain from saying anything like that to her. While her feelings will recover she's not in the mood to deal with Yamato beyond cuddling and maybe a bit of making out. Once she's over her feelings and is less upset it'll be fine, but that'll take a few days.]

I think so, yeah? That was when mom kept demanding I stop staying over here as much so I had to go home for a few days, but I was back for the middle portion of it, yeah.

[She doesn't get why he's asking but he'll probably lead up to that.]

Hahaha... Well, I'm pretty sure he broke the hips of every other woman in the house.

[ And really, it doesn't matter if she screwed their Alpha before she had the talk with him about joining, but it would be a little bit ironic. So he, in the hopes of looking for a new topic, asks a little sheepishly ]

So I mean, did you guys go at it?

No.

[She's not insulted that he'd ask, and there's nothing wrong with the idea of it, either. Audrey didn't think there'd be anything wrong with it if she did sleep with his dad but she just ...] I mean, it just seems kind of weird, doesn't it? It's not that he isn't attractive or whatever, it's just ...

[It'd be like sleeping with her own dad. With an authority figure. Something about it just rang oddly to her, and made her a little uncomfortable. ] Besides, your mom would kill me even if it did, or had happened somehow. I'd just go to sleep and never wake up again.

[ Didn't they just go over - ] Come on, mom really doesn't dislike you that much.

[ He'd gotten a bit more - okay a lot more - used to the idea of his parents having sex with other people. It didn't feel totally natural yet, but if his mom could tolerate how dad handled that week, how would she not tolerate Audrey? He laughs a little at it, awkwardly. But ... maybe it's the age difference? Or the relation, that is. ]

It's not a matter of disliking someone, Yamato. [He really doesn't get that aspect about women, does he? Especially strong ones.]

In any case, it's not just that. Your dad's in charge of everything around here. It'd be weird to sleep with him.

[That she doesn't understand how oddly backwards that would be for a pack-born person is another hint that some things have to come with nurture, because they couldn't be tacked on in the course of nature. Maybe if she had a thing for banging authority figures it'd be different.] I don't think he'd have any fun with me anyway, isn't he the kind of guy who likes it when women do whatever he says?

[ He really doesn't get it, because he doesn't get what she means about mom (why would she target Audrey, it's not like Masaomi doesn't bone other people - ) and he really doesn't get the whole not wanting to sleep with an authority figure. He's not into men, but wouldn't that be more than half of the appeal? Like... everyone likes and is at some level attracted to their Alpha. There's no reason not to be. But maybe that's nurture. He hums a little and ... well.

... Hah ] Hahaha, it's probably more like the women he sleeps with end up doing whatever he says than that.

[ It's the Alpha Effect which comes very naturally to him. But wait a minute - ] If you're concerned about that, how does Koji put up with you?

[ Because like. His brother doesn't have a lot of patience. Or at least, Yamato doesn't know that part of him if he does ]

There's nothing between Koji and I that knocks it off balance, though. It's fine the way it is because I like him acting that way. [But it wouldn't be like that with Masaomi. He's in a position of power, and if they did do it she'd probably be too nervous about possibly fucking up or not kissing his ass enough. In a way it has nothing to do with attraction (because she's admitted that that quality is there) or liking him (because she does like him well enough as a person, too).

If it was a situation where he wasn't so damn important to everyone, and where the ground between them was at least somewhat leveled then maybe it would be different. Maybe the idea wouldn't make her so nervous and maybe the near primal overzealousness he showed that week wouldn't intimidate her right out of her sex drive. But that's how it is, and as a result something ends up occurring to her.]

You're literally amazed that I'm not determined to fuck your dad.

What, no I'm not!

[ A beat, and... well, they are friends, right? He's pretty sure they could be good friends, and she might be (he hopes she will be) a packmate. So he relaxes and laughs a little, shaking his head into a shrug ]

I mean, maybe a little? I wouldn't - you know. Word it like that.

You can say it as many ways as you want, but that's what's happening here.

[They are friends, and right now she's treating him just the same as she would treat any friend.] Maybe it'll change but right now I'm really okay with doing what I like within the rules, and I'm willing to accept his leadership. That's as far as I'm going with it right now.

[Maybe circumstances would open up or invite something particular, but she wasn't going to choke herself out waiting for that.]

And hey, that's fine - no one said you had to or anything. It's just... maybe it's just me, Iunno. [ He shrugs a little, laughing. Still, if she's willing to accept his leadership, that's already something He recalls the first time she heard and asked about the rules, how tense she looked then. Maybe she was relaxing in the same way he was. He leans back on the couch, flipping his head back to look at the ceiling.

... Should he go hunt down Junko and Ethan? But this was comfortable now, despite all odds. Sort of ]

I know, it's fine. [It's definitely just Yamato having strong feelings about it, and that's fine, too. In a way she feels bad for not meeting his expectations, but that's something she has to get over on her own time. And in the interest of that, she makes her own executive decision here.]

Well, happy 'white people are shit' day, I'm gonna watch the game, okay?

[She leans up to kiss his jaw but then stands up to effectively dump herself in Tom's lap. He could at least mess with her during commercials.]

That's- [ Not what he meant. It's more like the whole thing is remembered really badly because it's a super botched falsified history--- ... Well, whatever. He groans, accepts his licks, and stands with his hands raised for her as if in mock surrender. ]

Alright, you got me. Enjoy the game.

[ And he doesn't sound like he has hard feelings about it either, accepting the kiss and standing to put his hands in his pockets. He really does need to go and find Junko. and Ethan. And... and just move past this. He smiles for Audrey one more time and turns on his heel to head off and... do that.

... Well, Tom'll handle it. ]
