[ Jun had always feared someone else becoming more important to Hiyori or Hiyori finding worth in someone new. Dealing with these feelings of jealousy hadn't been easy, but he had tried to be as transparent as possible when they first talked after Hiyori's nightmare. Jealousy was something Jun struggled with, as he was always afraid it would show in the ugliest of ways, just as it had during Wonder Game.
However, they now had the most important thing in their relationship: trust. Perhaps Jun knew no one would attend to Hiyori's needs the way he did, which provided added reassurance that Hiyori would never look elsewhere. At first with Monika, it had been difficult, as Jun hadn't truly understood what she wanted from him. The naivety certainly was something until he finally realised the truth. Had Jun felt awful for the way he treated her? Sure he did. After coming clean about his and Hiyori's relationship, it wasn't the prettiest of sights.
But there was no risk of someone stealing Jun away now. He was far too loyal and loving, with Hiyori constantly on his mind, even if he didn't always outwardly express it.
But Leona's interest in both of them seems rather tempting. In Jun's eyes, it has to be both of them or nothing. ]
Well, I'd say you're pretty bad at keeping secrets.
[ Secrets which hardly matter in the scheme of things. ]
Still don't know how your "Aura" thing works, but sayin' one thing and meaning another sounds pretty messed up. Can't say you want someone and then say you wanna cuddle 'em instead! That sorta thing might give someone the wrong idea, y'know~?
[ Jun's words seem to come from a place of experience. When he came "clean" and expressed his desire for Hiyori that day, it was a place of genuine want. (With special thanks to his suit.} He's teasing Leona a touch, showing Hiyori a small, sly smile. ]
So you think he'd want a "private show"? Well, guess we gotta talk 'bout it now! What were you thinking 'bout doing for him, Ohii-san? I'm askin' cause we gotta be 100% sure we're on the same page. D'ya want him to join, or do ya wanna test the waters first? I'm kinda worried it'll be a lil' awkward talking 'bout it when Leona's with us. But I'm pretty game to see where it'll go, Ohii-san.
[ Though Jun's surprisingly open to it, he'd only go along if it made Hiyori happy, too. There's little cause for concern, as Leona could never sever Eve's unbreakable bond. But on the other hand, Leona may be the sole person with whom Jun feels comfortable enough to "perform" at his best.
Besides, Leona would never spread malicious rumours about Eve to the public. Jun's almost certain of that. And if strange gossip were somehow to surface? They could vehemently deny said gossip with ease. ]
[He thinks about that for a second. Has he lied to Jun or kept anything from him recently? There might be things they haven't talked much about, but he doesn't feel like he has true "secrets."]
It might just be that you've gotten better at reading me. I know we were already "two souls in one" back home, but I do think living together in such close quarters for such a long time has brought us even closer. Not to mention all our other intimacies.
[In truth, he hasn't always been forthcoming. He didn't tell Jun what the wing on his suit tattoo symbolized. Because, well, he didn't want to tell him. Didn't tell him what he heard from Jin Mingming, either, until it gave him a nightmare and he woke up clinging to Jun and crying. After that, he did confess what he was worried about, and they had their first conversation about potentially bringing other people into their sex life: a discussion that led them to the one they're having now.
It's been a long and difficult road towards that kind of honesty. But he can at least say there's nothing he's keeping from Jun on purpose nowadays. He wants them to be on the same page—not just as lovers or as unitmates, but as partners. It's important to talk things out properly, which is why it's a good thing they're doing so right now! Although...
It is a tad embarrassing. To talk honestly about what they should do in front of Leona. He's thought about it a bit already, but his cheeks color a smidgen as he thinks about it some more now. He's the one who brought it up, though, so.]
If Jun-kun is "game," then I'm game, too! ♪
[He chirps the words back easily.]
... but as for what we should do together, and whether he should join, well... [Pause.] If we want to make his dreams come true, then it might make sense to ask what he wants to see. Though as you said, that may be a bit awkward. It's possible he'll be utterly speechless, in which case we'll have to decide ourselves! So, well...
[He taps his chin as he thinks. The job of an idol is to answer their fans' expectations. This isn't idol work, but it is a show, and Leona is a self-admitted fan of Jun. So if they could just figure out Leona's desires...]
This is just a guess, but since he likes your drive and your "potential," maybe he wants to see you take charge? And he is a lion, so maybe he'd be interested in seeing your "animal" side. Like the way you use your teeth, or that fierce gleam you get in your eyes sometimes.
[His cheeks color further. Yep, he's still not great at talking about sex in explicit detail. But he's trying!]
As for me, I guess I could try to play up my "cute" side. And then, well... after we've made each other feel good, we could help him out if he's gotten excited from it. And just as a special reward, I might be willing to let him touch you, since he's such a big fan. But only if that's what Jun-kun also wants.
[He says this in the tone of someone who's generously offering to lend someone an expensive heirloom.]
[ He sounds surprised and a little taken aback, with his cheeks reddening, as if realising how attuned he's become to reading Hiyori these days. It's a keen reminder of their dynamic, a sense of always being "in sync," which now feels even more pronounced. Maybe he has, in his way, become someone who cares without realising it. It gives Jun much to think about. ]
Gotten better at reading you, huh~? What I'd say is sometimes it's pretty easy, Ohii-san. [ Well, lately. ] But let's work on us staying close, alright~? Even if you wanna call it something like that.
[ It's far too fancy of a word for Jun's liking, but this gives him a chance to tease Hiyori anyway. He half-scrunches his nose after, continuing to admire how embarrassed Hiyori sounds. Besides, it helps to talk about being intimate together, especially when another person comes into their world. Slowly, Jun nods, acknowledging he's "game," and swallowing down his embarrassment. ]
Not to brag or anythin', but being in Leona's shoes, I'd wanna give it everything I've got. [ Even if they've already decided asking is awkward. ] 'Sides, I really like it when you tell me what you want, Ohii-san. You think he's the type to be left "speechless"? I dunno...
[ Leona's a tough egg to crack, he thinks. But Hiyori let slip he's already a fan.. So, how to go about this? He's almost certain Leona would never tell Jun himself, and he certainly isn't sure of Leona's wants or his desires. ]
Well, it sounds like a pretty good guess! If what you said is true, Ohii-san, 'bout him bein' a fan... Should I keep doin' what I usually do? Or is that you tellin' me what you want, too~?
[ Unable to resist the urge, he teases again, watching the colour of Hiyori's cheeks bloom. To begin with, Jun doesn't think that how he "performs" is entirely deliberate. The impulse to mark and claim Hiyori as his own is something he wants. So, maybe it is deliberate, the more he mulls it over. In reality, it's because of Hiyori, because Jun wants him to feel good. ]
Normally I'd be real annoyed hearing 'bout my "animal side." But if you're tryna say Leona's gonna be into that sorta vibe, I guess. But lions can be pretty dominant, y'know?! And he's a real prince, isn't he? So, I bet he'd take us over pretty quickly.
[ If he's "gotten excited from it," as Hiyori so eloquently worded it. ]
You really don't have to try so hard, Ohii-san... Your cute side just kinda shines through without meaning to. But hey, if it makes you feel good, I'm all for keepin' it going~ But whaddya mean by sayin' it like that? I only want that if you want it, too! I'm not gonna let anyone touch me if it's not gonna sit right with you. That's gotta be something we both agree on.
[ He sucks in a breath, knowing while Hiyori says something, it might mean something else entirely. But it's not that simple. No one else has touched him, not in the same way Hiyori does. Sure, he's gotten better about it, a lot better. It should be okay. Shouldn't it? ]
'Cause what if he wants to touch you too, huh? We gotta figure something out! We're not doin' this if it means Ohii-san's gonna be left out. So, I'd hafta let him touch you. It just makes sense!
[He nods, lips tugging upwards into a small smile.]
It makes sense, doesn't it? This little room is our "world of two," after all.
[In a way, it's sad how much their world has narrowed down. Without Nagisa, Ibara or their other friends, they've only had each other to rely on. But he smiles anyway, even through the sadness, because it is nice to feel like they've gotten closer to each other's hearts. Like they really are "two souls in one." There are no more secrets between them, and that includes his love for Jun: it's open and obvious, showing in the way he smiles warmly, his gaze hopelessly soft and affectionate.
Though his warm and fuzzy feelings don't stop him from teasing Jun as usual. They never do.]
Mhm. That's exactly right! Jun-kun already understands me a lot, but he can always work harder to understand me even more! ♪
[As though the work only needs to be done on Jun's side...
He doesn't say it, but he does want to understand Jun's feelings too. Understand them and accept them, even when they disagree. So, he's curious to know what Jun wants from all this, along with what he doesn't want. Whatever Jun says, he'll do his best to accommodate it, whether that means letting Leona touch Jun or keeping certain things off-limits.
But then he's not being very forthcoming about his own wants, is he? Jun calls him out on that, asking "Is this you telling me what you want~?" and Hiyori bites his lip, his blush blooming brighter on his cheeks. Jun is right, of course. He does want to give their special guest a pleasant dream. But by making this all about what Leona wants, it's a way to avoid admitting what he wants.
... or maybe a way of secretly indulging what he wants, without having to admit that's what he's doing. Jun called him out on that, too, just now.
There's no need for secrecy. The person standing in front of him is Jun-kun: his partner through thick and thin, who won't ever abandon him. Even if he confessed to all his most embarrassing desires and fantasies, Jun-kun wouldn't reject him. Would he? No, of course he wouldn't. His selfishness, his exhausting tendencies, his possessive thoughts: Jun-kun knows about all those things and accepted him anyway.
He takes a breath and admits the truth.]
You're not wrong. I like seeing your wild side, too. It makes me feel proud as the one who "tamed" you. But I also like that there's a side of you that can't be tamed. And when Jun-kun leaves marks, well...
[His eyes shift away for a second.]
You already belong to me, of course. But when you do that, it feels like I belong to you, too. And I like how that feels.
[... he glances back at Jun. His face really feels like it's burning up now, but that's the price of honesty.]
I like when you're sweet and gentle, too, though! And that you always listen and do your best. But since Leona-kun's your fan, I thought it might be nice to show off your "cool" side in front of him. Although...
[He tilts his head, thinking about it some more.]
If he's a true fan, maybe he likes all your different sides. And if that case, it probably wouldn't hurt to show him a well-rounded version of you. And if Jun-kun likes being told what to do, I wouldn't want to deny you that pleasure, either.
[Here he smiles again: he's back in his comfort zone, teasing Jun. And he realizes this discussion isn't too uncomfortable. There's nothing to be afraid of. Even if he and Jun let someone else touch them, they'll still be together, right?]
You really are good at being considerate.
[Saying he wouldn't want to be touched if Hiyori doesn't want it. Hiyori thinks about it for a second, and then he nods.]
Alright. I've made a decision! Just for one night, I'm fine with Leona-kun putting his big, strong hands on us. Although I do want to make one thing clear: just because he's bigger than us, he's a prince, and he's a lion doesn't mean he can overtake us. All those things might be true, but it's also true that there's one of him and two of us! Which means we might be able to overwhelm him, no? That's what I meant by leaving him "speechless."
