[ rutile is a gentleman, and is taking the lead while walking ryuki to the bang bungalow that is definitely going to be used for its intended purpose!!!
no, just kidding. he's opening the door for ryuki and immediately looking around curiously when they make their way in, while simultaneously preparing for caren to come out of nowhere and kick their asses out again. at least it won't be the incel igloo this time...... ]
I didn't think I'd be in here again...
[ now, glancing on over to this companion. ]
... Are you okay? Do you need some water before we start?
what is happening rutile IS an anime they don't HAVE anime. but also rutile is used to everything going to drunk chaos around him as he remains painfully sober...... okay, no, not painfully sober. he plays along because it's fun, after he's done processing this entire scene.
he pats ryuki's shoulder reassuringly. ]
Put Full Might into it, Mister Ryuki! I'm glad you're here. Or, well, um— not here here, but... you know.
[ and, fondly: ]
Let's not drink anymore after this, shall we?
[ he says "we" but rutile is going to down more booze after this fr ]
but he smiles; he's really, really feeling that admission deep in his heart. because, oh man, did this escalate so quickly. and if that's ryuki's criteria for drinking, rutile makes a note to check on his hangover tomorrow morning.
now, that question. ]
Mhm. Though some people are surprised to hear it, I can actually hold my liquor very well.
[ ....... :) ]
... Unless you meant if I'm okay with this, which, in this case... I think so. While I didn't expect to be thrown into it so suddenly... like you said, it's not like it's a bad thing.
[ once he can get past his internal screaming about it. ]
But... Geez... King Zapper really should have thrown you in here with Mister Wayne. How could she miss an opportunity like that?
[Damn, Rutile. Still, even if Ryuki looks bashful at that, he also looks--well, more torn than anything. And it's probably because he's past tipsy and verging on not-all-there that he's a bit more loose-lipped than usual.]
Wayne... yeah, I do really like him, y'know? He really lit up when he was talking about his city, and he's so... I mean, he's a lot more of a hero of justice than I am.
[But...! But. There's a but in there.]
That's why... he deserves someone way better than me. You do too, but, well--we're here now, so.
[ ... they're not going to end up making out because ryuki's going to word vomit and rutile's just going to sit here holding his hair back like the designated driver he is (he's not)
that is to say, rutile very much lingers on that statement, coming closer not to make out with ryuki (yet) but to look at his expression better. ]
And what's wrong with you?
[ ... that sounded a little rude, even though he asked it quite earnestly. excuse him as he elaborates, ]
Why do you think you're someone Mister Wayne or I couldn't be happy with, Mister Ryuki?
[ rutile: mister ryuki the confessional is in the other direction please let's just kiss so i can leave,
but, you know. as much as this wasn't what he was expecting, it's also not something he's going to walk away from. he knows people who've [redacted] eyeballs and almost took over the world, he's not about to judge anyone. actually, two steps short of the deep end is normal. not that he would ever walk away regardless.
so, he's going to take ryuki's hand, and lead him gently to the bed (shay: YES!!!!!), because this doesn't seem like a conversation they should have standing up. ]
You know, lots of people here seem to say "of course I'm not for this person," by pointing out the things that they don't think go well, but they never seem to focus on the things that fit.
[ yeah, that's the BIGGEST ISSUE HERE, but it's mostly an observation that rutile can't help but make. ]
Here. Let's sit down. You've been holding in... a lot of things, haven't you?
[ yeah, he'll touch on the unhinged part. he'll sit down first, even, patting the space beside him. ]
[Yes he's been holding so many things in!! Ryuki obediently follows Rutile to the bed, but also... he doesn't really want to talk about this! This is a dangerous direction to go in! And while he likes Rutile and thinks that Rutile is probably one of few here who really would listen without judging too much, it's... also not something he wants to put on his shoulders.
So Ryuki laughs at that, a proper, full on laugh that's still juuuust on the wrong side of jagged, and sits on the bed next to Rutile, and:]
Doooon't worry about it! Didn't I say! Everything's fine, Plus Ultra!
[ha!! ha ha!!]
That's not what we're here for. [Not this room, and not this tv show. They're here to find perfect matches, and not think about work, and, and, and definitely not think about how he feels like he's deceiving Pittman every single time he fails to bring up that he's a disgraced detective.
Anyway, it's pretty obvious that Ryuki's desperate to not continue that conversation.
Which is why he leans in, now that they're both seated on the bed, to press his lips to Rutile's, if allowed.]
thank goodness ryuki's shorter than he is because he's not, actually, and being interrupted like that is kind of rude. rutile's more than willing to drop the topic, but he's also not willing to just leave ryuki suffering in silence like that, so.
he's going to break the kiss by placing both hands on ryuki's shoulders, shoving him gently onto his back on the bed, both of rutile's hands beside his face. and then he just... hovers over him like that in surprise...... like: oh, god, he did that.
[ excuse him if he sounds a little breathless this is, understandable, ]
I won't make you talk about it if you don't want to. I don't know what you've done, and I don't know Mister Wayne as well as you do... But I think connecting with people is a lot more complicated than one person fitting perfectly with another. And I think people are more complicated than just one thing defining their worth, or who they are.
[ and he knows ryuki's problems are probably rooted far deeper than those words can reach, but that's for him and wayne to figure out, he thinks, because— ]
And because they're so complicated... You can't say for sure what they'll think of those wrong things... what they'll forgive, or what they won't, if they never know.
[ ... ]
That's all. And, um, excuse me. I'm going to kiss you now, so you can't argue back.
[ y. yeah. maybe rutile found some bravery from so fervently wanting to see ryuki work out what's hurting him that he doesn't hesitate at all to lean down and lock their lips together.
--anyway, then they're kissing. Ryuki's a little startled, but you know what? Reciprocating sounds a lot more interesting than dwelling on his thoughts or on what Rutile had to say. That can be something for tomorrow, to nurse alongside his hangover. Instead, he'll rest a hand at Rutile's lower back (innocently!! Okay!!) encouragingly as they kiss.]
rutile kisses on over my INCREASING CONCERN, though the (innocent!!!) hand on his back suddenly makes him jump a little. it's not his first kiss, but immediately, rutile notes that the feeling he gets from this one is different. it isn't unpleasant... actually, it's nice. so, it's fine. rutile's nerves settle, somewhat, though to be honest he's not sure specifically what making out entails,
but he'll go with an "intense kiss." and if ryuki is fine with touching he will touch. no, shay, it's just a hand up to cradle the side of his face, though rutile has to adjust his position somewhat to both do this, and to deepen the kiss a little. ]
Anyway, hilariously, things are much less concerning now that they're actually smooching. Thank god for that. And honestly? It really is nice. Ryuki can't really remember the last time he kissed anyone seriously, and Rutile is both attractive and incredibly kind to literally everyone here. Ryuki is lucky to be here, here and now, with Rutile's lips on his own and a warm hand cupping the side of his face.
There's part of him, of course, that practically screams that he doesn't deserve this, doesn't deserve to be here, doesn't deserve Rutile's time, but... but after what Rutile said before, maybe... maybe for a moment, it's okay to silence those concerns, just for the moment.
So he'll follow his instincts and, for once, what he wants in the moment, and deepen that kiss, a soft hum in the back of his throat.]

Ryuki stares up at him with clear bemusement and also some interest despite himself. Rutile is actually a top! Look at that, it's true!
And honestly? Ryuki also knows Rutile is right. People are complex, and he has no idea what people will do to react to what he's done.

and also, rutile is stupid. poor ryuki, because just when he's getting into it, at the sound of that hum, rutile breaks the kiss somewhat suddenly.
because he's rutile.
he doesn't pull away completely, of course; he's still close, hand still on ryuki's cheek as he shifts a little bit, searching ryuki's expression.
considering where he is (on top), the sound made him think— ]
Did I hurt you somehow—
