[Midlandia] Just One Note
[A series of events occurred which were incredibly important and ultimately life changing.
But frankly her attention span was always rather limited. What really mattered above all else was that she and Nathan were free, and it didn't require Vergil's scolding or leaving the country. They had been adopted into this pack with considerably minimal fuss. They had a roof, food, and a way to get to and from school. The best part was that there was no one to hit her anymore, no more getting thrown left and right into walls or furniture, and Nathan no longer had to hear all the yelling and insults. They could be living in a high class sewer and Nariko would still be happy.
And while she'd made her gratuity very clear to the Alpha she's been otherwise quite normal! Nariko had survived the state of things because she knew how to control herself, how to present properly. So ever since they'd been given their space she'd gone about meeting everyone she could, being both agreeable and fun, while Nathan clung to her side the whole time.
Lately, though, he's been feeling a little more like himself. On this particular day she's sprawled all over the couch while Nathan watches some movie directly in front of her. If she's supposed to give a single crap about her tiny shorts or tank top then ... Actually, no, why would she? It hasn't occurred to Nariko to dress or act differently, especially because there's so many women. Besides, she's kind of idly watching it with him or occasionally toying with her phone, and really she'd practically beg for something fun to do. Ugh.]

no subject
But it wasn't involving TV or reading or video games or whatever.
No, he was meditating on the floor of the living room, legs crossed and eyes closed, just sort of zoning out. What do ]
you picked a pb that is p much exactly her type I'm awful laughing over here
Well, it's about time to return the favor! Nariko doesn't so much as greet the man, she drops onto the floor in front of him, one knee pulled up so she can lean on it and stare at him.
So, yeah, hey, Basara.]
I SEARCHED SO MANY BEARDY GUYS assume he looks a little more asian tbh
Your search was just and ultimately successful!! And consider it assumed
HM.
... She leans forward, braces on her arms in order to lift up enough and kiss his cheek.
Did the universe tell you to expect that, Basara?]
okay awesome
... But he was able to keep his zen and not really react much at first, but the physical contact did make him stir some, and he opens one eye and asks, ]
Did you need something?
[ he didn't sound gruff or sarcastic, just sort of genuinely asking in a really sort of direct way ]
no subject
When I first got here, after I had sex with both of them, you sat there and stared. It keeps bothering me, so could you tell me why?
[Now she definitely gets the impression that he just thinks a lot, that Basara is a serious type who is maybe capable of being light, but often isn't.
Either way, if he's going to be direct, she'll return the favor.]
no subject
[ He answers her evenly, sincere in his answer. There's no real deeper meaning in it unless you want to read into his surprise at the fact they were fast friends. Or maybe you wanted to to question if he was looking at her. But all the same, he does open the other eye so he can make eye contact proper with her. His meditation was broken anyway. ]
no subject
[Basically: Same thing.]
Maybe it's kind of depressing that you weren't looking at me.
[She's messing around now - he's got nice eyes, so why not? He's not even mad that she kissed him!]
no subject
You're very attractive for your age, and you're only going to grow more attractive. If those two boys keep is up with you, they're lucky. But I'm not a voyeur, sorry to give that impression.
[ That said, he was leaving the door open, in his response ]
no subject
[Basara is clearly hilarious, though: Maybe it's true that she can run circles around those two in terms of pure stamina and experience, but the intricacies of them both are what knock her to the same level. Nariko knows that, and it's why she's angry at her own feelings, why she wants to fuck someone else in hopes they'll go away.]
I guess you're the protective one, then. Or at least outwardly. I sort of thought they were bullshitting me, since guys like you aren't supposed to be real outside of books.
no subject
[ Maybe he's talking down to her, but he's trying to be a straight shooter here. ]
no subject
[Those are awful people.]
You don't even know me, so don't go worrying about me. Nathan needs that way more.
[This isn't an attempt to seem older or more responsible, to Nariko it is a simple allotment of resources, as if concern were a finite source within any given person. And if she had to choose where someone who appears as strong as Basara might focus that resource it would be on Nathan, not herself, as always.]
Besides, what's the worst that can happen? We fuck around a lot and they move on and I do whatever. There you go.
[... Is she trying to assuage his concerns before they've even become valid?? Maybe??]
no subject
Even if I don't know you well yet, you and Nathan are both family, and concern's not finite. If you ever have problems that none of the adults can fix or you're too embarrassed to say, I can help you. Or at least I'll do my best.
[ But that said, he nods ]
There's worse ways it could happen, but maybe I'm hoping for a better way for it to happen.
[ And there are some people who complain abut it being to rough. ]
no subject
So you expect me to believe that an entire house of strangers will just take us in and fix everything, and never ask for anything in return? At least if Mikado was going on about it I could just think he was being optimistic.
[And let's be honest, Masaomi would probably say quite a few different things to get into her panties.]
no subject
[ the fact of the matter is that Yori made the decision to take them in, and everyone in this pack would abide by her order. Everyone loved and respected Yori. And if Yori had any sort of untoward intentions... well, he didn't know them. But he was at least sincerely concerned about her and Nathan. Both kids were so skittish in their own ways, he couldn't help it. Even if they weren't now "family," with this perspective and opinion, it would remain the same ]
no subject
But she can keep being honest.]
I can't explain it to them right, but can you at least get it when I say that this all feels unreal to me?
[She's ... Trying to communicate the right way here because now she wants to, because it feels okay enough in this moment, but she's clumsy about it.]
no subject
[ And that's as close to understanding as he gets. He doesn't want to stay that he gets it, not entirely. He's never been in a pack or a household that was unkind. He's known the world to be unkind at times, but he still had a place to return to, and so even if he has an adult's perspective and he can be pretty sure that he gets it, he doesn't want to be arrogant and say he can understand.
And he has to trust that she gets what he means. He does try to be direct. ]
no subject
[He - He understands, and she's incredibly grateful, more than she has the ability to communicate with words and the gesture she eventually decides on doesn't feel right enough either. But since it's all Nariko can come up with she invades his personal space yet again - but this time to basically crawl into his lap and hug him.]
Thank you.
[It'd be patronizing for him to act as if he could comprehend it entirely, it's enough to know that some portion of it is understood, even if their methods of communicating are a little choppy. Maybe that'll iron itself out with the whole 'proving it' deal.]
no subject
His beard brushes her a little. ]
no subject
Man, that's new.
[She's never messed around with a guy that's had one! But even t hough they're clearly done hugging she doesn't make any attempt to get out of his lap, if anything she seems to get a little more comfortable. She does lean back to kind of pat his beard.]
So, not that I have tons of experience with it either way, but does this bother women if you go down on them?
no subject
Not that I've gotten complaints about. But they could be being nice.
no subject
[Which is to say that he's probably perfectly fine and she's just genuinely curious.]
Masaomi and Mikado said it was fine if I had sex with anyone I wanted, is that true?
[She has given up on his beard and moved right on to his shoulders. For however much it might be worth it's not an immediately sexual touch, more naturally tactile, feeling for the sake of it, and largely because he's made her feel a little comfortable.]
no subject
She wanted to...
He shouldn't assume either way, but he responds, ]
Whoever wants to, yeah - you can.
no subject
[Nariko ... Was not nearly so docile about telling people when they weren't doing a good job of fucking her. But apparently there exists a strain of woman who are nicer about it! Good for them.
When he answers her she snorts.]
So no one is worried about what'll happen if I get knocked up or something? That's a thing that happens.
[He's so broad, she's moved on from feelings up his shoulders to his chest. If Basara smacks into the wall does it cry???]
no subject
The pack's not really had a younger woman in it to have kids other than Linda in a while, so I'm not sure anyone's thought that far other than maybe Yori-san. And I'm sure Yori-san would trust that anyone she let in the pack could confidently make their own choices on that front, even if they are young. And if you decide to go for it or it just happens, they'll probably support you.
[ But he can't promise it entirely, hence the qualifier ]
Besides, that a risk with a lot of sex.
