Chapter 16. Holding out for a home life

[thebestseller]

Man-twin, pack up your bags. I, among others, have joined the elite ranks of the Guides and now have the illustrious job of welcoming naked people to this crazy hippie commune.

Which means we now get CUSHY SECTION 4 DIGS. Heat. Air. SPACE in which you can conduct your science and play with your star-friend. Let's get going already and into the lap of luxury.

[Hastily added in.]

Boss. Buddy. Pal. Section 4 only has two bedrooms, I'm afraid. So unless you like couches...

If you are able to ask that would be good.

I would miss you a lot. But if it keeps them alive...

I'll see what I can find.

We can always schedule sex in somewhere, and find a babysitter-guard for the mantwins and Fred during that time. Our sex-life doesn't trump their safety.

IT IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT SEX. Not everything leads to sex! Maybe I like being around you too! Maybe I love you! So maybe you should not assume every time!

[There's a pause in the writing.]

oops.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Oops, hm? Write something you didn't mean?

It's always about something. Relationships are based on exchange, give and receive, people being useful to each other.

[spandexisyouth]

Did not mean? I have never written what I did not mean. Only what I did not mean to.

Useful? I am just useful?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

"Just" is too limiting.
But you are useful, and I am useful to you. Part of that usefulness is about sex. Part of your continuing interest in me stems from the sexual knowledge I have, and that you lack. Therefore [pentaps and a pause] we're useful to each other and it is about sex.

[spandexisyouth]

No. I enjoy those things with you. But an awful lot of people here know more about that than I do, and I am not interested in them. So it's not because you know about those things. I am interested in you. I did not mean to write that. I wanted to say it when it was a good time. I am not very good at timing, but that does not change that I mean it.

I would miss being around you because I love you. I would miss other things as well, but it does not boil down to sex.

[It takes a while before he even sets the pen down on the paper again, and then it just sits in one place a moment, indecisively. Finally, having decided that the ink-stain is enough to suggest he's read it, he should probably write something.]

Ah, right. Well, ok.

[spandexisyouth]

Oh.
