Post-shower Joe

[blueondeck]

[You could find him walking from the direction of the showers. Hair wet & washed, new clean clothes, relaxed, and hasn't even gone home yet.]

Comments

[blueondeck]

[Thank you. Now I can breathe normally.]

[strooonger]

You said you'll cut him down if he did a dickish move. What if that move was to ask questions that he was really curious about while his body was switched with that of a naive girl with a strong grip?

[blueondeck]

I wouldn't be surprised at this point and would tell him I'm already planning payback for this stupid line of questioning ... and touching.

Why do you even care about why I'm here with you?

[strooonger]

Not surprised? My, what a shame! I was hoping for another good reaction from you, Joe-chan.

Everything that you lot say about what I was going to do made it seem like it was impossible for any of you to overlook and yet here you were.

[blueondeck]

I already said I suspected you weren't who I thought. You'd never talk so extensively about me.

But it's true. You're going to do some unforgivable things.

[strooonger]

Hmm, guess I could have done better pretending to be this girl but, couldn't exactly try without gambling a little on what I could and couldn't say.

The big one being kill AkaRed, I know.

[blueondeck]

You aren't the sweet and kind type of girl. It shows.

[Sighs ... saying this is sacrilege and he knows it ... but]

I don't know AkaRed and thus don't give a damn about AkaRed.

[strooonger]

Believe me, this is nothing compared to what that girl is doing while in my body.

You probably would have gotten along if you had. But it's not about you, is it? It's about Marvy-chan and what hurts him most.

[blueondeck]

It is.

[Simply. It's true. What's what it will always be about between you and him]

[strooonger]

[Me and Marvy-chan in the end. We'll see what happens then.]

[blueondeck]

[I guess we will.]

[strooonger]

[I need a subject change. Something that I find funny.]

So, what stemmed your fear of being touched by girls?

[blueondeck]

It's not a fear.

[strooonger]

You jumped when I grabbed on to you!

[blueondeck]

I didn't expect you to touch me.

[strooonger]

I touch you when I'm in my own body and you've never reacted like that before.

[blueondeck]

I --

One: You don't actually touch me as much as you think.

Two: I've been around men my whole life.

[strooonger]

I didn't say I had touched you many times. I just need one moment to compare and still, the difference was obvious.

And I've been around only men as well, I still know how to be around women to not cringe every time they touch me.

[blueondeck]

I'm not cringing it's ... [sighs] They make me nervous and easily embarrassed.

[strooonger]

Their behaviour or their body?

[blueondeck]

Both, mostly the second.

[strooonger]

There's not much difference. Flesh is flesh except this type of body is less muscled.

But, since I have this body for my use, I could easily assist in helping you get over your fears.

[blueondeck]

I don't know that woman.

[strooonger]

Well, you didn't deny you have a fear.

Her name is Hina-chan and her brother is that idiot who asked you for power. Is that better?

[blueondeck]

I was going to include that it's not a fear in my second statement which was "What are you getting out of this?"

Oh she's the sister [Completely unintentional eyerake of ...questioning]
