[Jason's face has a brittle serenity as he stares back at Juudai. His movements are spare and neat as he flicks the lighter closed, tucking it back into his jacket.]
I am now.
[Voice distant now, and he rubs his fingers over the burn, over the thick layer of scars already there.]

[ Everyone copes in their own way. Everyone finds something to keep them going, or to keep them from going right over the edge. Juudai knows.
But there are things and then there are things. And maybe it's not hurting anyone else, or so Jason might think, but it's still the kind of thing that adds up in unseen ways. All the little scars that start to come together. ]
Do you have any friends, Jason? Anyone to talk to, back home?
[ Asked quietly. Juudai understands what it's like to be lonely, to have things he can't talk about. Not in words. ]
Re: [video | private]red_handed_jayJune 20 2011, 03:12:58 UTC
[Friends. Someone who sees eye to eye with him, someone who understands what he wants. Someone to confide in, share secrets with.
It doesn't take him long to come up with the answer.]
No.
[It was supposed to be Bruce. Only Bruce, back when he was just a kid, back when he was Robin. It always had to be Bruce. But that was gone now, wasn't it? Bruce was gone to him, metaphorically, literally dead. Gone.]
[There's nothing showing at all behind Vincent, in fact, he can barely be seen himself in the darkness. But those strange mismatched eyes are quite visible.]
If you wanted someone to hurt you, my friend, you could have asked.

[Vincent's such a creepy fucker. Because Jason knows that's not the right response, knows that most people would be like Juudai, and tentatively ask if he was alright, and generally just act uncomfortable, their hands twisting, unable to look him in the eye
( ... )

One could say that I am talented in that area.
[Vincent speaks quietly, calmly, a gentle smile on his lips. It's not as if he's so excited about the idea of hurting his friend specifically, but it's an easy thing to offer, and he can't say he'd mind.
After all, this little view has definitely answered his questions about the marks he saw earlier. He hadn't really expected someone who seemed quite attached to things like 'saving the world' to want to do something like hurting themselves, but then, one could never tell about people, could they?]
Re: [Video|Private]red_handed_jayJune 21 2011, 14:19:13 UTC
Some how, I'm not surprised that you are.
[Only a friendly offering, meaning that no, Vincent will not fuck him, in all likelihood. Jason cocks his head for a moment, because that's strange, and certainly not something he's used to. Pain with another person always had the guise of sex, the sexual pleasure mixing with pain until Jason couldn't tell them apart.]

[The walk to the ryokan was accomplished as quickly as Vincent could manage it, after slipping out of the house with a quick dashed-off note to his brothers in case he was late. (Going to visit a friend was all it said, of course.)
He found the appropriate room, knocked on the door firmly, standing there in his usual underdress and overcoat, just as pulled together and noble as ever.
The smile on his face however? Well, that was just a little different...]
Re: [Action] TO BE NC-17 YOU WERE WARNED red_handed_jayJune 26 2011, 03:04:26 UTC
[Jason's savoring the last drag of his cigarette when he hears the knock. Though his stomach clenches and pulls tight, though he's practically vibrating with anticipation, he takes his time and pulls in that one last drag, inhaling the harsh smoke deep into his lungs, exhaling it out in a thin stream. Another moment to stub the butt out, and then another to sit up, rub his hand over his face.
Then he's up, walking over to the door, pulling it open, stepping aside to let Vincent in.
Re: [Action] TO BE NC-17 YOU WERE WARNED nightrayseweratJune 26 2011, 03:24:09 UTC
[That is indeed a lovely look. Vincent savors it for a second, as he steps past Jason into the room, and then looks the man up and down, as if measuring him for something.]
If you have any rules, tell me now.
[The tone comes out perfectly polite, and he seems nothing less than entirely calm.]
Re: [Action] TO BE NC-17 YOU WERE WARNED red_handed_jayJune 26 2011, 03:35:27 UTC
[The grin across Jason's face just stretches wider, and that knot of anticipation just pulls harder, hotter, in his belly.]
Unless you have a crowbar hiding underneath there, I think we're good. But I don't want any damage that would interfere if I say, got in a fight; so no broken bones.

Jason.
[ Quietly. ]
Are you okay?
[ It's probably the wrong question to ask. But really, it's the only one Juudai can ask right now. ]

It's only a friendly offer, you realize.
