I think I'll kiss my shame away

And drain him she did. Though he had his usual athletic walk, his way of just gliding across the floor, he walked down the stairwell with her, pinching at the span of muscle between his shoulders and neck. A prominent mark in this region was dark purple; somewhere between a kiss and a bite that left superficial damage to little blood vessels. "Summer... Did you have fun?"

His button-up shirt was hanging off his shoulders like a cape, thanks to an intact neck-tie. Though, like before, he'd entrusted her with his suitjacket. Realizing that they were re-entering a public space, he sheepishly buttoned up his shirt again.

With a hand clasped in hers, he led the two of them down the stairwell. That thing he was forgetting, that thing he was selfishly putting off... That thing he was selfishly putting off that wasn't too late to fix... Those pokemon could fend for themselves, but he worried. "...We should get little drinks, or something."

He was being terrible. Gearing for a walk with her, without spelling out why right away. "If you're still worn out, I can carry you." He drew closer to the edge of the bar area, with a hand raised to try and get the bartender's attention. He pointed to the tap behind the counter for ginger ale. A fine mixer, mostly used as a home remedy.

Though, a crop of blonde hair pointed up like dying grass got his attention, and he didn't want to be rude by ignoring someone. "So... how's your night going? Huh? Did you see the Miniors a while ago?"

She seemed to bounce back. A smirk grew on her face, and she took charge. He tented his eyebrows, eager to see where she was going with this. "And I hope you get what you want."

The way that she grew more assertive left him stunned for a second.

For a moment, it dawned on him that they were more or less the same person, pushed in different directions only by birth. That look on her face... His eyes lit up. He grinned, beaming at her with pride. "..."

He was a boy from volcano country. On a good day, the moon's silver light could punch through the smoky sky. He wouldn't miss this meteor shower, were it not for something more urgent. "Good. I almost didn't want to say it at first..."

He then looked down at her and giggled a little.

He fought against his own body, at times. He was torn, between needing to be a slim, swimmeresque male model for work, and wanting to thrash around with dumbbells until he couldn't move. He had the results of that clash all over him: a prominent chest and solid core, but he could probably stand to eat a little more. His arms were veined all over, but he couldn't do the classic bicep flex, with an arm at a 45 degree angle.

Casey then saw her hand dart up. She grabbed his necktie and pulled on him, to bring him closer to her. "...I was thinking about that too, at first." He then took a deep breath, and leaned in a little more, just to get in her ear. "But... you have a good grip. I want you to drag me upstairs and take what you want."

She seemed relieved at his response. It was easy to say now while it was all talk, but he needed to grow close to her either way. Fighting for her would also toughen him up, resolving his other insecurity. "I'm itching for a good fight."

He bit his tongue, and his eyes lit up as she gasped and looked around. He then narrowed his eyes at her, tilting his head a little. His mop of hair fell around his face. Regardless of whether this went anywhere, he delighted in making her turn red. "..."

Casey hadn't too much to drink, in fact. He was that even 5/10 drunk; jovial and articulate, but not capable of driving home. Thankfully, he owned a Skarmory. He blushed a little, biting his tongue again when she started pouting. "Oh... Now you're being unfair. You could get me to do anything with a face like that."

He then looked down at her and giggled a little. He's probably forgetting something important right now.

She then responded in kind, and tented her brows. He looked to the stairwell at the edge of the ballroom, though the lights fading to make way for the meteor shower made it a little hard to make out. "...Are you sure?"

Casey then felt a finger trail up his sternum, bare after he unbuttoned his shirt to the start of his core muscles. He did this when the two stood outside together, in a drunken sweat. He saw fit to push her buttons again. His whisper came to life after a second of vocal fry, like a car engine roaring as it wakes up. "I'm sure we can come up with all kinds of arrangements. You're small enough to climb all over me."

Casey watched her grasp his hands. He narrowed his eyes at her, and offered a gentle smile. She then returned his gesture, but with a hint of doubt at the end. "Isn’t that what we said to eachother earlier? That we’d be together, to feel just a little less alone?"

“...” Casey smiled. She pulled in closer and hugged him. As she giggled, he could feel it on his shirt, not unlike when they embraced eachother earlier. He shook his head, and his arms around her fell just below her shoulder-blades.

“I wish I could do more for you. And... I will. I promise. You were concerned about scaring me away, but I see who you really are. And... I think you’re worth fighting for.”

Casey narrowed his eyes at her. He grinned gently, and thought for a second. Eyes darted to the side, then returned to her. Though he loved hiding and being coy, she put him on the spot. He leaned in, opting to whisper. "...I’d rent a room upstairs, that we can have to ourselves. That’s all I’ll say."

Rarely does someone think as little as he does. The coil clicks like the gears in a clock. His forearms are ready to explode, but he's still ensuring that he can even grip the awkward little pick. He passes the coil from one hand to the other, watching her wipe sweat from her brow.

Poliwhirl continues swinging its gloved fists, making them turn beet-red, but never quite break the skin and cause an injury@summer . The vein it struck deposited unrefined minerals, centuries of cooled volcanic rock pulling any number of chemicals out of the earth. It was all just "fire stones" or what have you, now.

Casey squeezes the grip so hard that his knuckles turn white. He then drops it into a pocket. He'd have more of an interest in the pick if the handle was etched like the handle of a dumbbell. He picks up and looks over the tool, moving his hand to assess the weight.

A mock-swing, getting the arc down. He then stands beside his Poliwhirl, as the two take turns beating the dried volcanic runoff. "Suit yourself, then. ...Do you live near Fallarbor too?"

Casey shook his head. He thought about what he said for a minute. Bad days. His days bled together once. A months-long stretch where nothing happened. Get up. Protein shake. Put on Pearl Jam. Work out until you hear your joints click. Either do a modeling gig or "consult" for someone. Pretend to not see a text. Walk the lizards. Bank podcast episode for later. Roll joint. Sleep. Repeat.

He hadn't a good day in a while either. But rather than turn on someone, he looked inward and went quiet. "..."

“...I'm all yours.” Casey smiled, as she held his hands and stared into them. He wondered, for a minute, what she was thinking about.

He looked down at her, just a head taller. He tilted his head at her, and then smiled again. “I'll just remember how you made me feel tonight, if I think about it. I'll remember the kindness and strength that you're capable of.”

With her pulled into his grasp, she landed against a thin button-up shirt. She could feel a heart slowly but heavily beating against her head, like a drum. That, and a pad of lean muscle over it. "...Thank you.”

Casey chuckled, looking down at her. "...Would you rather I pick you up and walk away with you, then?"

He grinned when she let him take her hand. He didn’t run, and he, selfishly, needed her to stay. He sought to hold his fingers in the spaces between hers, but relented and let go when she raised her hands to caress his face. "..."

“...Oh. I think... you inspire me to be better too.” Casey tilted his head to the side. He seemed unclear on where she was going with this. "It’s hard to imagine you as this... disagreeable person. We all have bad days, but... I think you need love and respect, just like everyone else."

Didn't know where her boundaries were. But after a night of alternating between sobbing and innocent play, after pushing her buttons on purpose... He smiled serenely at the thought of her getting in his face and being mean, with her beautiful face. Of her just putting a collar on him. “I wouldn’t be here if I was scared.”

His eyes lit up. He hated being alone. "You’re not going to scare me away. I promise.”

Casey smiled at her. After a moment in her grasp, he opted to do something with his hands. He tried to hug her again, resting his hands just behind her shoulders. "...I would love that."

She seemed wowed by it all. Time for him to just go for it. "And... I was told that I'm the Libra. That one's right next to Scorpio, in the night sky."

He bit his lip and thought for a minute. She was so flustered that she ended up stopping altogether. Casey let her break away, though he reached out and tried to clasp one of her hands in his. "..."

Casey felt like he was finally cooling down. Like he'd had enough time for the alcohol in his stomach to settle a little. He lowered his chin, looking down at her in such a way that there was a straight line from her nose to his. "I mean it. I think... that's what I meant when I said that you made me feel less alone. I just didn't know if I could say that yet."

Didn't know where her boundaries were.

His eyes lit up. Surely, she was just reassuring him. But even then... It brought a tear to one eye. "I don't think I would've had the courage to be here, otherwise.

Casey smiled at her, but he bit his lip. He then followed her gaze, looking to the night sky. This got him further than being coy ever did, but would he learn anything here? "...Thank you. I felt the same way. I was outside for quite some time. I was a little apprehensive, but I came too far to quit and go home. And... I'm glad that I stayed, because of you."

She seemed genuinely curious about him. She then opened up about her own birthday. About being slightly younger. "That’s so cool."

He bit his lip and thought for a minute. "It’s very fitting... That’s a sign for leaders, warriors, and romantics."

Casey felt his face turn red. Furthermore, his veins all felt hot. He bit his tongue again, feeling the onset of embarrassment. That she shared so much with him, and he still withdrew. She asked for clarification, then pulled away from him. Might’ve been a knee-jerk reaction then, for him to instead follow her, and just say it again. "...I think I'm in love."

He then looked away for a second, as she asked him to elaborate. He wanted to be anywhere else right now, but didn’t take the chance she gave him to go away. "I just felt overwhelmed and stopped talking to people for a while."

Casey felt ridiculous after that. He had to reassure her. "You don’t need to apologize for that. ...I may have had too much to drink."

She seemed genuinely curious about him. It's a shame that he more or less scrambled his brain by being alone for too long. "The Twenty-fourth of September. I think... Days kinda bled together for a while."

He smiled and glanced away for a second as she complimented him. "Thank you."

Casey bit his lip. He'd have fanned himself if she hadn't taken his hands. Why... the idea of her enjoying his company? He swallowed a lump in his throat, and responded. It felt impossible to push the idea all the way out. He settled for mouthing the words at her. "...I think I'm in love."

He then bit his tongue. Egad, man! Pull yourself together. She gave him something to focus on by leading him across the floor of the ballroom as the lights dimmed. As the room was slowly growing dark, save for the promise of a meteor shower later on. "...I have people that I can point him towards. You won't go home empty-handed."

Then came the revelation that her father intimidated her. That he pushed stress he felt onto her. Having an indifferent father impressed something different on him; that he needed to find love and approval from other people. "That's... disgusting."

Casey felt ridiculous after that. That he was indignant enough to say that, after being too much of a little worm to stand up for Danny. He just wanted to curl up outside and hit his ecig until the battery died. Words failed him, even when she said that he made her feel better. "It means a lot to me that you’d say that. And that you’d meet me with that gentle smile of yours. I... spent almost ten minutes outside trying to psych myself up to go inside. It all seemed so intimidating at first."

Casey on the other hand squeezed the protruding ends of a metal coil, trying to strengthen his fingers and forearms. He couldn't trust the etchings on any gym's dumbbells to grip his hands well enough.

His reputation has slipped somewhat. She could very well still recognize him: the Cousin It to Glitch and Melody. A lanky gym-rat who vapes all the time, whose head is hidden by a mop of healthy fuchsia hair. Having been a male model for years, his face seemed like it was permanently stuck either pouting baby-like or looking vaguely disappointed.

Summer Atreides brought out the best in him, but she wasn't here right now. Furthermore, he was psyching himself up to get his hands dirty. He set his Poliwhirl to the task of beating a vein, both to Casey's benefit and to toughen its fists.

Casey had his hair in a ponytail. He had a pickaxe nearby, but it was just laying on the ground. He could see Allrianne in the corner of his eye, and raised an eyebrow. "...Do you need help over there?"
