RL with Ken

[redlikecrimson]

It hadn't been the easiest thing in the world to manage but somehow he'd come across a Japanese film that didn't have subtitles. He'd seen it once years ago when he was still in high school so he was aware that it was an action film. The genre wasn't exactly his favorite but he didn't mind it either. Besides, he knew that Ken would probably enjoy something with more action to it than anything else and since there wasn't much variety he went along with it.

Without telling Ken what kind of movie he'd found for them to watch, Aya set it up on their TV they'd bought for their room and brought the remote over to the bed so he could sit next to Ken. He'd already ensured they wouldn't be bothered for the rest of they which meant plenty of time for privacy.

"Ready?"

Ken's laughter was always nice to hear and Aya let himself take a moment to be distracted from the movie so he could listen to it no matter how brief it was. Shifting, he let himself sink down enough so he could rest his head back on the shoulder behind him. That smile on his face hadn't faded in the slightest.

[wasabloodknight]

Now that? That was a perfect moment. Loathe to disturb it, Ken let his head tip a bit to rest against the top of Aya's as he watched the rest of the movie in happy silence.

[redlikecrimson]

It didn't take much longer for the movie to come to a close, Aya still tucked against Ken even while the music for the credits played. It hadn't been a bad movie at all and one he'd keep around in case they ever wanted to see it again. Turning his head slightly, he pressed a little kiss to the side of Ken's face.

[wasabloodknight]

The gesture pulled a pleased rumble from Ken as he turned to try and catch a quick kiss. While he was content as he was, he never turned down the chance to grab a kiss from the redhead.

[redlikecrimson]

Aya made sure to stay still when he saw Ken move so he could make sure he got that kiss. It wasn't as if he didn't want it too.

Bringing a hand up to push some of Ken's hair back from his face, he smiled for him. "Did you like the movie?"

[wasabloodknight]

Chuckling, he leaned his head back against the headboard, his fingers tightening again.

"Hell yeah I did. I've missed Japanese."

[redlikecrimson]

"I know you have." It was why he'd made sure to surprise him. Glancing off to the side, he noted the remote but decided he didn't feel like grabbing for it.

"I'll have to see if I can find us more movies to watch in the future."

[wasabloodknight]

Ken was far too content to go for it, either, once he noticed what Aya was looking towards. Ah well, sooner or later, the tv would turn itself off.

"Thanks."

[redlikecrimson]

"You're welcome."

Letting out a content sigh, Aya closed his eyes and just let his fingers trace over Ken's leg. It was nice to have the time to simply be quiet like this, to be happy together.

"I'm glad you liked it."

[wasabloodknight]

He hummed a soft response, but stayed mostly quiet. For the moment, the warm silence between them was something comfortable and soothing, and Ken had no intention of disturbing it.

[redlikecrimson]

Lost in his thoughts, Aya was reminded that just outside this room was the real world. The killings, the community, the rest of the team...

The rest of the team. Chloe was out there.

He'd been thinking about the situation a lot recently, everything from the events to the words that had been spoken. According to their friend, he was jealous of the two of them because he wanted it too. Apparently because he wanted to be a part of it. Enough so that he'd actually listened to them in the bathroom that one time.

Aya was prepared to take this seriously but he had to wonder if there was more going on under the surface. If this was still a result of Chloe dealing with the pain of losing the woman he loved. It was hard to tell given how he couldn't be sure how Chloe felt about Klavier.

What he needed to do was clear the air between all three of them. But before that, he really needed to talk to Ken so he could find out where he stood on this. It was the right thing to do at this point. He owed it to his partner.

"Ken, I'd like to talk to you about something." He would make it up to him for having this uncomfortable conversation after it was done.

[wasabloodknight]

The easy contentment Ken felt faded a bit at that. Hearing those words from Aya never ended up in a pleasant conversation. Sighing softly, he straightened a bit, but kept his fingers curled up with Aya's.

"About what?"

[redlikecrimson]

This sealed it into Aya's head to make it up to Ken for bringing this up in the first place.

"I want you to tell me your feelings about what is going on with Chloe." Mainly because he knew that Ken wouldn't hold back when they had privacy like this and their native tongue to speak in.

[wasabloodknight]

"I think he whacked his head too hard or something."

Leave it to Ken to just speak his mind without really thinking.

"I'm really nor sure what to make of it. It's flattering and he's... really attractive, but... I can't tell if he's really serious. Maybe he's just confused or something..."

[redlikecrimson]

"I was wondering the same thing actually. I was also wondering if this still has something to do with his lost love."

Pain could make a man do the most unusual things. Especially when it was pain caused by love. Aya didn't want to hurt Chloe but the fact remained that this seemed...too sudden in a way. No, it was more than that but he couldn't quite figure out what it was exactly.

[wasabloodknight]

"I have no idea."

He knew he'd been hurting and Ken was the last person to discount someone else's pain, but lately, he really didn't know what to make of Chloe. He counted him among his close friends, but after his revelation under the sway of Eris' golden apple, things had become a good deal more complicated.

"I thought he had the hots for that blonde German on the community. Has that changed or something?"

[redlikecrimson]

"I am sure part of that was the influence of the community but it almost seems like some of the feelings have lingered."

Which did make the situation more confusing and it had been the main reason why Aya had taken so long to think about it. Taking a deep breath, he ran through the thoughts in his head quickly. He was going to have to talk to both of them eventually but for now he wanted to establish something with Ken.

"I think that the best we can do is just to keep an eye on him. However, I don't think he knows what he wants and it's helping to inspire the feelings of jealousy and longing." He tilted his head to look at Ken's face.

[wasabloodknight]

Normally, Ken would've already been out of the bed and pacing, but he's been better with his temper lately, or at least he's been trying to be. Sighing, he leaned his head back down to let it rest against the side of Aya's.

"We've been keeping an eye on him. Do you think it'll help if we keep it up?"

[redlikecrimson]

"I'm honestly not sure what else to do. It wouldn't be right to just jump into what he thinks he might want. He does need to be watched though. And, I want to have a talk with the three of us."

Moving to sit up, he turned around to face Ken, hands going to his face while leaned forward to rest his forehead against his. He felt more connected to him this way. It was comforting actually.

"Ken. He doesn't know what he wants but I know that we want each other, yes?"

[wasabloodknight]

Comforting to both of them.

Smiling faintly, he reached up to settle his hand over one of Aya's before he pulled it in for a quick kiss to his palm.

"I have what I want."

[redlikecrimson]

Aya could only smile then, running his fingers through Ken's hair. It was good to hear that they were on the same page here. Then again, this was how they always worked.

"As do I. I have you."

[wasabloodknight]

"... we've officially become disgusting."

Chuckling, he pulled back a little, but made no other move to lose that contact.

[redlikecrimson]

He couldn't help but to laugh at that statement. It was the truth of the matter, they really had.

"You have a talent for being blunt."

[wasabloodknight]

"You're the one that brought it up."

Hearing Aya laugh never failed to make Ken smile in response, and this time was no different.

"I like Chloe. I really do, but I don't know if he's jealous of us together, or that he just wants to belong to someone. Until he knows for sure, there's really nothing we can do about it."

[redlikecrimson]

"I agree. And it would be a mistake for us to be involved in that kind of a relationship with him currently. He will have to find a way to work through this."

Until then, he could trust him as a friend and as a comrade but nothing deeper than that. Chloe seemed too emotionally unsteady to handle that and he wasn't ready to change his mind on that.

Leaning forward, he pressed a kiss to Ken's lips. "What would you like to do with the rest of the day?" A subject change but a necessary one.
