Lets (not) talk about sex

Who: Church and Tex
What: the long avoided conversation about awkward happenings during The Gentlemen plot
When: Tuesday night
Where: Church's room.
Rating: R for language at least.

Mason was off the leash and running, he'd been nosing through the halls with some sort of purpose until he found a door and ran inside, tail wagging like crazy.

"God dammed dog, I've shot people for less than this." The black armored form muttered and tromped after the canine. It wasn't until she crossed the threshold that she realized whose room she'd stepped into.

Fuck

Yeah, Church's room and of course the dog was running right up to him, eager to lick his face and give all the affection in the world like it was no big deal. She hadn't been back to his room since the silence and violence of the Gentlemen. She'd been human and for once she'd been really and truly scared for her life.

Church had helped her adjust, and protected her. Hell he'd even stayed up all night to make sure she slept and...as they say one thing lead to another, and it kept leading there an awful lot.

But that had been the fear and the situation right? Things were different, or rather back to normal now. It seemed stupid that she'd avoided him, no not avoided. She'd just been busy, anywhere he wasn't and doing anything not involving him. Totally not avoiding him. Right.

So she just stood there in the doorway, not quite stepping fully inside and not saying anything, just sort of holding the leash in her hand as if that was all that needed to be said.

"Why does it matter, Church?"

She wasn't just arguing, though she was doing that sure enough, she was looking for a reason.

"No. And you're not selfish, and asshole yes. But you've gone out of your way to help people here and try to make things better. Sunny, Mark, Nora every kid here.. South and all the damned Freelancers." The list could go on and on, but she'd made her point, maybe even clarified her question.

"So why does it matter?"

"It matters because you deserve better, Tex. Better than Freelancer, better than me."

He couldn't explain why he wanted to help the others, especially the Freelancers. He had every right to not want anything to do with them. But he could explain why he wanted to help her, why he would always help her.

"And because, because I still... I still love you." He shrugged and held his hands out as if to stop the argument he knew was coming.

"I swear I'm not going to read into what happened ok, I know I had my chance and I fucked it up."

She snorted at that, deserved better? Who the hell did he think he was kidding with that?

But he followed it up with something that made her stop short, Mason seemed to pick up the vibe and for once stopped with her.

"You...love me?" She was just staring at him, her shoulders softened and she froze. Her brain worked in milliseconds but it felt like an eternity before she reacted.

Tex covered the distance between them and wrapped arms around him, careful moderate the pressure to not damage him. "You stupid asshole."

"Ah.." Admittedly there were a few milliseconds that he thought he was about to get the shit kicked out of him but then she's hugging him. Hugging?
Ok, this is cool.

"Uh, does this mean I get another chance?"

"Like a relationship you mean?" Did he really want to try again?

With her?

"Either you are glutton for punishment, or an idiot." Possibly both.

"Something like that, yeah."

He gives her a smirk. "You know, those two things aren't mutually exclusive."

She eased back and began walking again, but this time closer to him and at a slower pace.

"Yeah, but they should be." Mason ran up between them, looking from one to the other with his tail wagging fast.

"You might want to hold off until we find out if the body thing will actually work. If I'm stuck like this, it wouldn't be fair. expecting you to go without things."

"Nothing I haven't gone without before." He gave Mason a quick pat.

"If something happens then we'll just have to figure something out. I'm not going to just 'hold off' because you end up having to stay in that body."

He'd 'held off' far too long already.

"Well yeah but like you always said, lack of options." True the Gulch wasn't exactly brimming with women and even if it had been the issue would have been there with his true nature.

"Here you have options." Real women, women who weren't her. She didn't want him to do it, but for one rare moment she wasn't thinking out of jealousy or pride. In the end all she'd wanted for him was his freedom and happiness, probably some sort of glitch in her system.

"Yeah, I have options." He knodded, it would be a lie to deny that if Tex hadn't arrived he would have been perfectly happy staying with whatever it was he and Natasha had... but Tex was here and as much as he felt toward Nat...

"Doesn't change my mind."

"Yeah, you're both." An idiot and a glutton for punishment.

"But I guess this makes you my idiot."

"Hey, I might be an idiot but I'm not stupid... the last time I was even around another woman, you shot my body right out from under me."

He gave her a teasing smirk. At the time he thought she was just being a bitch but she had been genuinely jealous. He was willing to admit he was an idiot for not realizing it until they were both here.
Well, he'd admit it to himself anyway.

"Well if I get that body then you won't have any reason to look at another woman. Or I'll just shoot you again."

Was she joking? Fuck this was Tex, who knew? "So I was just thinking of, well you know the same as the week I had a human body. For looks I mean. I was pretty damned hot."

"When you say 'look at'... do you mean 'casually look in the direction of' or 'oggle'? Because at some point I'm going to have to talk to other women."

He's not sure if she's joking or not, so better safe than sorry.

"And yeah... you are pretty fuckin' hot."

"I mean give me a reason to need to shoot you. Talking to a chick is ok, I guess. But if this is gonna be a thing, you're mine. and you damn well don't forget it." So, yeah just don't oggle or drool, or think someone is seriously pretty or whatever.

"So, why weren't you checking me out then? I mean I was naked when you found me and I practically had to beg you to stay in the same bed with me. You didn't act like you wanted to." And that had bothered her, bothered her doubly since she couldn't articulate it in her silent state.

"Just remember that goes both fucking ways." Ok, so neither of them had a stellar track record on the whole monogamy thing. The castle wasn't going to make things easy either with bullshit like the enchanted kissing.

"Because on the list of 'awkward boners' the 'checking out your ex' boner is pretty high up there." Well, that was the flip answer. He shrugged and sighed. "Of course I wanted too... I mean shit, I had to turn off my whole lower body just to keep from waking you up. I didn't want to just take advantage of your being human again to get laid."

She grunted in response, like anyone here was even going to be after her. Ok she was hot, they might be but most people hated her too much to do more than grudgefuck… although...

Yeah, there was always that if things didn’t work out or something; but maybe this time they would. Hey they were in an enchanted fucking castle with all sorts of other impossible fucking things. Why wouldn’t they have a shot at beating the odds.

“You had to shut yourself down? That’s like some sort of compliment.” Heh, he totally got all fucking turned on by her, electric blue balls. But he could have been putting them to better use. “I wasn’t exactly turning you down though, I mean…it was, you know…good.” Better than good, but the comment back in a human body made her want to move away from that subject. His ego would do the rest.

"That is totally a compliment. So enjoy it."

He quirked an eyebrow and looked at her in mock offense.

"Good? I think you forgot a word there like 'very' or 'mind blowing' or how about maybe 'fucking amazing'."

"I will." She snarked right back at him and intentionally shoved him just a touch harder than necessary at the shoulder.

"You think so? I don't know." She made an exaggerated shrug and rubbed at the back of her helmet. "Guess you might have to refresh my memory later so I can be sure."

He staggers a couple of steps, mostly from her shove but partly because Mason took it as an invitation to play and Church didn't want to step on him.

"Oh I'll refresh your memory alright."

[[ooc: ahh, strikeout gone crazy typo!]]

"So...uh..when you do, does it feel like it's real? In that body?" Valid question, she didn't want to get her hopes up for something that wasn't going to live up to the expectation. She was trying to keep things low key.

"Uh... yeah. I mean mostly. It's uh, it's pretty damn close."

And there's the awkward conversation stuff again. Hooray.

"There are certain things that are different... but noting that really makes one any less enjoyable than the other."

Yup, he totally knows all this from very recent experience, certainly not from months of what was up till now guilt free sex with another woman.

"Good." Because what they had done? Fuck yeah she wanted more of that, more of everything really. So many things to try, positions, accessories, attitudes.

"Different but not a big deal, ok. And how strong are they? Like what would it take to...theoretically...tie you up or something?"

"Doesn't seem any different than my old body." He shrugged.

While he had the same type of robotic body as she did back in Blood Gulch, he lacked the ability to truly exploit it's capabilities. He was only ever as strong or as fast as he thought he was.

"Uh, wait... why?"

"Like the suit?" That sounded odd because the whole point of the suits was to make you stronger and a better soldier. But then she remembered the sim soldiers weren't trained that way. So for all their tech they were just guys running around being average, below average in some cases.

"What? Uh.. No, no reason." Smooth, thy name is not Tex.
