[the next day, seven o'clock sharp, Reno shows up in front of Dan Heng's room. He might not have the best bedside manners, but he has brought a bottle of wine, since he at least remembered that Dan Heng seemed to like that one back when he first met him.
He knocks on the door, more or less patiently waiting for it to open.]
[ dan heng doesn't entirely know how to present himself - with, or without his disguise? what would reno prefer? he's learned to be comfortable in both skins by now, but given the differences in anatomy, well..
he'll keep his disguise, for now, until he better knows reno's tastes. he dresses nicely at least, in a dark, clingy turtleneck and grey slacks, his mouth curved into a muted, easy smile when he opens the door. ]
[Reno isn't quite the fancy type, so he shows up in his usual casual style of ripped dark jeans, plain low cut tee and an open shirt thrown over it, a bit of leather and metal jewellery around his neck and wrists.
He grins as Dan Heng opens the door, and while he finds his dragon form incredibly fascinating and definitely wants some of that dragon dick, he doesn't mind Dan Heng's disguise either. On the contrary, this man is easy on the eyes in every form, and Reno definitely appreciates it all.
He raises the bottle of wine as he grins at his host for the evening.]
Always. Gotta be punctual when your life might depend on it, right? Also I brought some wine, hope that's okay?
[he waits for the other to invite him in before he steps into Dan Heng's room, curiously looking around how much the 7s rooms differ from the 8s.]
Looking fancy, [And he means Dan Heng with that] I hope you didn't doll yourself up just for me?
[ once reno enters, dan heng closes the door behind him with a click of the lock. the sevens room isn't awful, and honestly, it's more than what he's accustomed to. he keeps it clean, tidy, though there are small signs of it being lived in - mainly stacks of books, papers and notebooks on several surfaces. ]
Oh, thank you for the wine. I'll grab some glasses.
[ he says, then steps away toward a small cabinet. there's no kitchenette in these suites, but he's always sure to keep some cups around for drinking water. no wine glasses, unfortunately, but that's all right, regular glass tumblers will do. carrying a pair back, he exhales a soft laugh, his ears warming. ]
[His own room is a little more luxurious, though not by much. And in comparison, it's not quite as tidy, even though him and Rude are sharing two rooms, it just means more space to scatter clothes all over the floor without bothering to pick them back up. Otherwise? There's little personal stuff to display, but in Dan Heng's room Reno can find a few interesting bits that he curiously glances at while the other is getting the glasses. Like reading the backs of the books, to see if it's anything he knows or cares about. Simply finding more topics of conversation, should it be needed.
He chuckles as he takes the glass tumbler from Dan Heng and nods his head in approval.]
Wanted to look presentable, but offering the wine in regular glasses. Well, at least it's not paper cups, cause I think that's what I would've done at some point in my life. So I like the charm, [he winks, catching the slight blush on the tips of Dan Heng's ears. It's adorable, he has to admit.]
[ the books reno will find are more or less referential in nature - histories and articles, journals, even maps, all of which include multiple different worlds, documenting flora and fauna, culture, history..
.. there's also a handful of smut novels. ]
Ah, sorry, I don't have any wine glasses..
[ he'll be sure to get some when he can, however. for future encounters such as this. in retrospect, he might have foreseen that reno would bring wine, but he hadn't considered it until now. either way, he hands the tumblers over without complaint, before smoothing a hand back through his dark hair. ]
.. that obvious, hmm? No, I don't do this often at all, at least not since arriving here.
[Reno's fingertips brush along the spines of the books as he's reading the titles, chuckling as he find the novels in between the mass of scientific books. Well, that's kind of charming, in a way.]
Don't worry 'bout it. Like I said, I would've been a lot worse at some point.
[he raises his glass slightly as a toast, looking into Dan Heng's eyes without blinking.]
Cheers then. To new experiences?
[He takes a small sip and tastes the actual flavor of the wine. He'd gotten the bottle because it was what Dan Heng was drinking during their first encounter, without really knowing what it tastes like. But it's not too bad, and if it helps each other to relax a little, even better.]
You said not since arriving here? Did you do that before? Or what else have you been doin' since getting here? Cause I can't imagine that you're not catching people's eyes.
[ look, don't judge his smut novels.. he has reasons for this!!
anyway, dan heng lifts his glass as well, knocking it lightly against reno's before taking a sip. oh, it seems to be the same wine as before - so reno remembered, that's sweet of him, he thinks. ]
To new experiences.
[ gesturing, he leads reno toward the soft, darkly upholstered sofa, where he sits and crosses one leg loosely over the other. despite himself, his cheeks flush pink. ]
I.. no, not really. I wasn't very experienced before arriving here. [ that is, he was an absolute virgin. ] So it was a bit of a culture shock, and it took some getting used to. I've since taken a few partners, yes.
[Reno won't judge him in any way for this, but he personally prefers the experience rather than read about sex. But to each their own, he figures.
He follows Dan Heng to the sofa, almost like when they first met, with the same wine and furniture, and he wonders if he's the only one catching up on these similarities. Dan Heng's words though might explain the smut novels.]
I can imagine, [he chuckles softly, keeping his eyes on the other man while he sips how own wine.] So you've gotten used to it by now? Or still struggling? Is it more an issue of the attention, or your own reservations?
[ the similarities are obvious to dan heng as well, but this time it feels a little more comfortable. they're in his own space, there's no timer to think about, only the two of them, willing and able to enjoy themselves for as long as they like. ]
I wouldn't say that I'm entirely used to it, but.. it's gotten easier.
[ reno is spot on, for the most part. dan heng rubs his nape with his free hand. ]
I'm not used to attention, no, and while I wasn't exactly against the idea of sex, it just wasn't a priority for me. This has all been a bit of a trial by fire.
[it definitely helps to relax when there is no ticking timer in the back of their minds that expects them to fuck or to get separated if they don't in time. But it's easy for Reno to feel comfortable in the presence of a good looking, interesting man and some alcohol.
Though he wonders if people in Dan Heng's home world are mostly blind or have different standards of beauty or handsomeness, because he can't quite believe that someone like Dan Heng wouldn't get a lot of attention?]
I can imagine then. But you're feeling more comfortable now? With all of it? The sex and the attention you're getting? Right now, for example?
[ .. he absolutely gets a lot of attention back in his home universe, there's even a fan club that are all trying to be the first to score with him, but he tends to ignore them and not think too much of it. alas. he smiles softly. ]
Heh, well, I wouldn't say I'm entirely comfortable with it just yet, but.. I am comfortable right now.
[ it's one on one, that's easier for him to manage, and he likes reno, they've had opportunities to talk to one another without it needing to lead to sex. that's made it much easier for him to ease into. he takes another sip of wine, feeling the warmth down his throat that settles in his bones. ]
It'll take some time before I'm completely comfortable having sex with complete strangers, but.. you're not a stranger anymore.
[Reno smiles, actually wanting whoever he is with to be comfortable and to enjoy their time. But Dan Heng is an interesting case, because he would normally quickly lose interest in people if they weren't down to fuck quite fast, but he's now had several interesting conversations with this man (dragon?) and he's still fascinated.
And Dan Heng's words do make Reno's eyebrow quirk up]
So, that means you'd feel comfortable to have sex with me at this point?
[It doesn't sound pushy, only plain curiosity in his voice and he looks at the other over the rim of his glass as he takes a sip himself. He doesn't need the alcohol to relax, but it's also not hindering him in any way. On the contrary, he enjoys the taste while he tries to read what's going on in those blue eyes.]
dan heng's face flushes warm again, and he clears his throat, glancing aside. ]
.. yes, that is what that means.
[ in truth, he's already had sex with some people here that he knows far less of than he knows of reno, so this man has surely earned the privilege of taking him to bed, and perhaps vice versa. he takes another, longer drink of wine and lifts his eyes again. ]
Though you make it sound so easy. I'll need to work on my confidence, as well.
That's very kind of you to say. I'll have to take your word for it.
[ attractive and fascinating? aeons, he's never considered himself either of those things, but if that's what reno thinks, far be it for dan heng to argue it. he'll try to take it to heart, instead.
as for being pulled in, no, dan heng doesn't resist. he's had enough wine now to relax, to move into it easily, and he downs the rest of his glass before turning to set it aside as well. ]
You really need more mirrors in your room, it seems like,
[Reno reminds him and now with Dan Heng so close, he looks into his eyes, a soft smile curling his lips.]
If ya want me to, I'll gladly help,
[And he keeps his left hand around Dan Heng's wrist, holding it almost gently, while the other comes up to brush a strand of black hair out of Dan Heng's face so that Reno can cup his cheek. One more look into the other's eyes and seeing whether he pulls away or objects in any kind, before Reno leans in and softly presses his lips against Dan Heng's.]
