"Wherever you're comfortable, Tavbro, could probably stay right there, if you wanted, just turn toward me some so I can reach better." He could at least do a little with him at his side. If Tavros were uncomfortable in a potentially more intimate position, it would just ruin what he was trying to do in the first place.

Despite being quite small, -and only looking much smaller without the aid of his dresses- Tavros doubted that Gamzee would have much access to him without being directly in front of his matesprit. "Ahh...I guess it would be easier if I was in front of you," He decided, but the position would have implications, regardless. The copper blushed heavily, bending his head some to hide it as he questioned softly, "That is not going to be weird for you?"

🌀
Somehow Gamzee was able to be completely oblivious of the sexual undertones. Of course that may not have been that surprising, seeing as he was making a habit of not understanding such connotations. It wasn't that he didn't like Tavros in that way, just that he had never really thought about such things, expecting to be alone your whole life didn't really prepare him for such instances. "Uh, no, why would it be weird? Is it weird? I think maybe I'm havin' one of my stupid moments again, Tav."

"O-Of course it is weird," He stammered, glancing up at him with mild confusion mixed with embarrassment. "It is just, um. We have not really..." Tavros rubbed at the back of his neck, faltering in his speech as he struggled to come up with a way to explain himself that wouldn't kill him at the same time, "I mean, it is not weird, uh, f-for couples to be in that position, necessarily, it is just usually with a much different objective in m-mind and we have not exactly g-gotten to that step in our relationship yet. Oh, gosh," He lamented, using his wet hands to cover his browning face, "You p-probably think I am the biggest pervert on the face of the planet!"

2014-09-20 21:14:16
🌀
"...oh.../oh/, uh... fuck, sorry I wasn't thinkin'," Gamzee turned his face away a bit as he started blushing now. "Uh, if you're not comfortable that's fine we don't have to move at all, like I said, can just chill our shit out right here and all that," he muttered out in a rush. "You're not a perv, Tav, I'm just a big ol' dummy when it comes to that sorta thing. I don't have my know on about much of that." Mostly his blushing was from shame instead of embarrassment. He'd ruined the relaxing mood with his ignorance and he hated that. "Sorry, Tavros," he muttered quietly.

The initial embarrassment was still present but put on a backburner now as his priority was making sure Gamzee did not feel too guilty about his lack of knowledge about sex. Lowering his hands, he bit his lips in worry, then kissed his shoulder softly, "N-No, no, it is okay, really! You should not be sorry just because you did not know," He reassured, rubbing his back comfortingly with one of his hands as he kissed his cheek, then the corner of his mouth, "You not knowing a lot of stuff about, uh, sex and all is a good thing! It means we get to go about things slowly and it is not like, we are not intimate or romantic or anything. I mean, even being naked with you, in this bathtub does not feel explicitly sexual or that there is a pressure to do so. The massage, uh...just kinda threw me for a loop," He admitted, reaching up to play with Gamzee's hair, hoping it would be relaxing, "Perhaps we should just wait until we are, out of the tub completely. Then we do not have to worry about any more misunderstandings, okay?"

2014-09-20 21:33:13
🌀
"Yea, that sounds good." He was able to turn his face back to kiss Tavros gently, purring lightly at the ministrations to his hair as usual. Staying quiet for a little while and just enjoying the attentions, he did feel like he needed to talk about it a little. "I just don't want my not knowing to get in the way of things. Like if I don't get signals you're sending just 'cause I don't know, and get you all disappointed?" Pausing for a minute, he thought of what else he was concerned about, "or somethings that aren't obviously sexual to me that are to you and then I make something awkward again. I don't like not knowing this sort of thing... it seems kinda important... is it okay that I'm talkin' about this stuff?" he asked, suddenly concerned he was fucking something up again.

"Um, I mean..." Tavros hadn't really given sex a second thought. Sex had always been an important part in past relationships, but everything with Gamzee felt so new and refreshing that he hadn't thought that sex was even that important. But now that he had some time to reflect on it, he could understand why this would bother his matesprit, and could potentially ruin future moments where they would try to get intimate. "I have never had to talk about it before, but I think now is as good a time as ever," He decided, hoping that some positivity on his side would make things less imposing on Gamzee's, "I think it is fine that you are letting me know some points that you are not so okay with in our relationship. And as your matesprit, I will, uh. Do my best to remedy them." He smiled a bit sheepishly, "I just do not exactly know where to start. I am not sure how to explain the whole signals thing. It is a matter of tone and subtle cues, you know?"

2014-09-20 21:52:40
🌀
Brows wrinkling a bit in thought, Gamzee pet Tavros's back some, just a repetitive motion while he was thinking things over. "Well, I've not been so good at pickin up on that in the past... just promise if you want something and I don't get it right away that you'll make sure I know what you mean? I don't want you to get offended thinking I don't want the same, it's just I probably won't think of it first, probably. At least for a while." He sighed a little. "Maybe it isn't what you might like or are used to? But I'm more comfortable with you leading things where they go, for now. Until I know what the fuck is going on with all this shenanigans, whenever that happens," he smiled a little. Hell, he thought, it could take them ages to get there and he probably wouldn't be all that bothered so long as Tavros wasn't; he was too damn chill to get aggravated about something like that if it was uncomfortable.

Pausing for a couple moments, Tavros suddenly erupted into a fit of giggles, his hands coming up to try to stop them but it seemed he had been spontaneously infected with laughter. He giggled for a good long while before he figured he should explain just what tickled his funny bone so abruptly, "You have basically given me an invitation to corrupt you," Tavros stated with a couple interspersed laughs, "Which I find to be a very...unorthodox responsibility. Are you really completely pure though, 'Zee?" He questioned, more curious than he was embarrassed - that was one of the things he loved about Gamzee, once they got over the initial hurdle of something, his matesprit always made him feel comfortable. "Utterly?"

2014-09-20 22:09:04
🌀
The giggles were kind of disturbing at first... what had he said that was funny? But when Tavros explained, he guessed it was pretty comical, and he chuckled a little too. He didn't really understand his matesprit's question though. "Uh, pure? Don't really know how you mean, except for the obvious connotations, so I'm gonna have to say yes." It wasn't something shameful at all in his view, just a fact of life. "Maybe those police fuckers in Tulgey insinuated otherwise that first time they came up to us, but they don't know shit. That was actually pretty creative for them." He tilted his head a little, "I guess that's pretty strange, maybe? But, well, that's life here, I guess, at least for me." He was glad that things had gotten back to comfortable territory. It made talking about all this so much easier.

2014-09-20 22:19:03
●
He did not find it shameful, either, just a bit strange. Still, Tavros thought it was cute that Gamzee was still a virgin; Tavros remembered his own first time and how it was not at all as romantic and loving as he had wished it was. He made a mental vow to ensure that he would only go at Gamzee's pace. Though, as he gave some thought to their radically different sex lives, he could not help but dwell on a few questions, like did Gamzee even know what felt good to him? Had he ever touched himself to figure it out? Tavros, as curious as he was, did not know how to phrase those inquiries in a way that was not embarrassing to himself or for his matesprit, and that did not also seem like he had crossed the threshold from clarifications to an impeding on his personal boundaries. "Hmm..."

2014-09-20 22:24:16
🌀
If Tavros wasn't going to ask how he'd never had any experiences, Gamzee sure as hell was not going to clarify, and ruin the mood again. Maybe it was easy for Tavros to forget, which he thought was actually kind of really nice and sweet, that most people were completely terrified by the sight of him and his 'violent' blood color. Tavros was actually the first person to be in his house in the woods (besides for his lusus), and he'd never really expected to get close enough for a hug with much of anyone let alone kissing and otherwise.

Most of what he knew was just biological facts from books, which he'd had to read at one point during development. Since his guardian hadn't been there to explain what the fuck was going on with him during pubescence, he'd been worried some strange worrisome disease or other had taken hold of him until the Bibliosaurus, matronly and figuring he'd be more comfortable just reading instead of have a sauropod explain his own biology to him, handed him some text. "Hmm? What's hmm? Got some more deep questions in your noggin?" he smiled invitingly, not minding really what could be asked, even if there was some oddness they could get over it.

2014-09-20 22:33:43
●
"Huh? Hmn, well," He shrugged a bare shoulder, beginning deliberately, "I was just wondering, to what extent is this, er. Purity of yours? Do you know what makes you feel good in that regard?" Tavros furrowed his brows, hoping that he did not sound like some kind of pervert or that he was imposing on Gamzee's personal relationship with himself, "Ah, for instance, during more, umm...Intimate moments, I like it when my hips are rubbed," The brownblood was launching off the foundation that if he revealed a couple tidbits about himself, it would make Gamzee more comfortable about displaying some information, too, if there was any to begin with, "But I probably never would have figured that out, about myself, unless /I/ did it first. Do you see where I am getting at here?"

2014-09-20 22:40:43
🌀
"Oh, yea, I get what you mean," Gamzee nodded. "Hm, well, yea, I had to learn a little of that... you know like sometimes you just wake up and shit's goin on and whatever? Kinda freaked me the fuck out the first time 'cause I didn't know what the fuck that was all about yet. So I guess I know a couple things that I like... uh," he paused to think for a minute. "I think my inner thighs being rubbed feels nice, and my stomach sometimes... sometimes like, not during stuff, just before, you know? Does that make sense? ...can only learn so much by yourself though, right?" He giggled a little, "Imma remember that hips thing for you."

2014-09-20 22:51:26
●
Tapping his chin lightly, he supposed /that/ would have to be a signal in itself. The next time he wanted to be a bit frisky with his matesprit, perhaps he would rub at Gamzee's stomach, and, if he felt daring, try a quick flit by his thigh and see if that was cue enough. "I believe I will have to modify my signals," He decided, giving a little nod of his head, "But perhaps this, uh, more blatant strategy will be helpful to us! At least this new information makes it easy for us to know what feels good for the other. No blind touching, that could be disastrous." He paused again, then, with a playful grin, he nuzzled his nose against Gamzee's cheek, questioning, " 'Can only learn so much by yourself?' Hm. If I did not know any better, Mr. Makara, I would say that was a proposition."

2014-09-20 22:55:47
🌀
"Why Mr. Nitram!" he started playfully, "what would ever make you think me capable of such a thing?" he couldn't keep from giggling. "I'm a humble gentle troll, after all, a knight in purple armor." Now he was really snickering, so relaxed with Tavros here. "Maybe you'd like it if it was though? I suppose I could... uh, acquiesce to that." He returned the cheek nuzzling. The mention of blind touching and their comfort had him sure that asking before doing anything in the moment would be okay, and probably not ruin the mood. That made him a hell of a lot more comfortable, actually, even if he didn't mention it.

2014-09-20 23:03:05

He smiled, "Do whatever makes you comfortable, my sweetest knight. If you feel an inkling to rub these hips of mine with a newfound sexual fury, then, please, do go for it," Tavros, for emphasis, gave a sweeping motion to his hips underneath the surface of the water, giggling, "I am one hundred percent positive that any touching you deliver, whether it be purposeful or accidental in form, will be pleasurable to some degree. I have faith in you, Mr. Makara!"

2014-09-20 23:14:27
🌀
He had to cover his mouth to stifle a laugh, "ha, sexual fury," he chuckled. His matesprit really knew how to arrange words hilariously sometimes. "Well, that's good.... wait, uh, did you mean like, right now?" A look of confusion was sent Tavros's way. Gamzee sure wasn't against it, he just was a little surprised, brushing down from the copper's arm to his side, settling above the mentioned area at his waist.

2014-09-20 23:20:34
●
Now Tavros was confused, as well. He definitely hadn't mean right at that moment, he was trying to insinuate that he would be ready for Gamzee whenever he felt that they could take that extra step in their relationship. His brows furrowed some as he asked, "Do you want to? In the tub? 'Zee, I do not even think you and I have made out before. I think we should save hip-rubbing for once our tongues have become acquainted, if you will.."

2014-09-20 23:26:49
🌀
He smiled then, "Okay, I thought you didn't but I wasn't sure, so I thought I should ask." Pulling Tavros in a little, he nuzzled his forehead before placing a kiss there. "Naw, we haven't really done much making out, once in the hotel, but that's all." Honestly, though he thought he probably wouldn't have been bothered with the outcome, it had seemed a little quick. He found himself smiling because he didn't have to worry about all that quite yet.

2014-09-20 23:32:02

"I am not really worried about sexual things at the moment," He admitted, "I would prefer if our escapades were not during a time in which the government is soon to be all topsy turvy. I think it would be more, uh, meaningful to the both of us if we waited until a more peaceful time." Tavros hadn't even considered the very brief stint in the bathroom of the hotel - to him, it was more like seeing where the two of them stood in the sexual area of their relationship, and it was a pretty good indicator.

2014-09-20 23:45:31

"Yea, I definitely agree, don't think I could get my relax on good enough for it anyways with all this stuff going on. More'n happy to cuddle and snuggle, though," he giggled, kissing around he copperblood's face like he liked to do when feeling especially affectionate. "Not right away either, I think. Gotta learn our groove without all this hectic business going on."

2014-09-20 23:51:20
●
He nodded, purring some at the kisses to his face as he thought about their relationship. Tavros wasn't entirely sure how long they had been together, but it hadn't been a substantial amount of time - there was still plenty of time in the future to be become accustomed to one another and see where their likes and dislikes lay. For now, he just smiled, nuzzling his face against his neck as he kissed at Gamzee's jaw, "I think the water is starting to get cold."

2014-09-21 00:31:16
🌀
"Mhmm, let's continue our affections elsewhere, then, eh?" Sitting them both up, he got out and offered a hand to assist Tavros, smiling goofily at the knight theme he was hamming up. He wrapped a towel around Tavros with a small kiss to his lips before grabbing one for himself and drying off. He didn't bother putting his previous pants and shirt back on, though; he'd just get into pajamas when they were in the respiteblock. He waited for Tavros before heading over, though.
