Touched for the very first time.

Three days after finding himself on Hot Guy Island, Lionel thinks he has a handle on how things work. What the peons need, the wacky island gods supply. This includes canned goods, toilet tissue and, naturally, karaoke.

Because what magical island getaway would be complete without thatLionel isn't drunk. He's maybe a little tipsy for no other

Ugh, there are so many adorable boys in this place. After living in BFE for so long, it's overwhelming. Lionel feels like his crotch has turned into a divining rod in the middle of an ocean, a compass at the North Pole: It doesn't know which way it wants to point.

"Thank you," he murmurs into the microphone with a beguiling smile, then hops from the stage. "Hi there."

"You should try it," Lionel adds with a motion back to the stage. Back home, there would have been a line to use the thing, but here people seem to not even notice it's there. Maybe they all come from universes that aren't filled with people so eager to embarrass themselves in public.

"I promise I'll applaud at the end," he adds with a decisive nod.

In truth, Lionel really isn't all that great a talent and he knows it. Like so much else he does, he's above average but nothing to write home about, but this is perhaps why he soaks up the compliment so greedily. It's nice, even if it's mostly said to be polite.

"You're sweet," he decides, and gives the boy a once over. "How old are you?"

That explains so much, and thank fuck Lionel had the presence of mind to ask before the conversation went any further. The last thing he needs is to cultivate a crush on a guy too young for him.

"What's your name?"

"Lionel, and that's probably because I haven't been here very long." If it's possible, the accent makes the kid even more adorable, but it's easy enough to slide that over into the category afforded to babies and small, furry animals. Contrary to popular belief, he does have some self-restraint.

"Three days," he clarifies. "It still feels like I'm on vacation."

"Do you like it?" Lionel asks. Initially, he'd believed everyone must-It's a tropical island paradise, who wouldn't? So many people seem less than enthused by it than he is, though, not the least of whom is his ex-boyfriend.
