[cryptsleeper]

[Trevor, for god's sake.

Alucard's well aware of that thrilled feeling. His own is far more unsure, not because he doesn't want this but because this is so fragile. They've been psuedo-fighting, this could still fall part because they're both prickly shits, and...

...Trevor pulls away, and Alucard's hands are no longer on Trevor's hips.]

Maybe we should get out of the water?

[quickwhip]

Yeah.

[ That's... a very good idea. Since they're in water. A pool of water. A POOL OF DESIRE. Maybe that's what this is?? Who knows but, rubbing a hand along the side of his neck and muttering what the fuck to himself over in his head, he wades through the water then and moves to get himself out. ]

I'm... all wet.

[ As if that wasn't obvious. ]

[cryptsleeper]

Yes, yes you are.

[Alucard's just going to. Say nothing else and just carefully get out of the pool.]

We're going to have to tell Sypha.

[quickwhip]

Tell her... what?

[ Uh???? ]

[cryptsleeper]

[TREVOR.]

What do you think?!

[Exasperated at the Belmont? That's back to normal.]

[quickwhip]

[ HE'S NOT SURE??? ]

That I... fell in the pool?

[cryptsleeper]

The kissing part!

[quickwhip]

What? Why?!

[cryptsleeper]

Because she'll find out somehow, so it's better to be honest?

[quickwhip]

[ Everything is going TOO FAST?? ]

It's... just a kiss? I don't even know why I did it. Pool of desire and all.

[cryptsleeper]

[ALUCARD JUST. Throws his hands in the air.]

That isn't how the pool even works and you know that was the first time I've had that happen, correct?

[quickwhip]

Had... what happen?

[cryptsleeper]

The first time I ever fell into a pool. [Alucard's response is dry, and it's followed by a groan.]

Been kissed, Belmont.

[quickwhip]

[ ... ]

Are you fucking serious?

[cryptsleeper]

[Alucard finally just. Stops. And stares, dead eyed.]

Yes.

[quickwhip]

[ Oh, that's... yeah. ]

Shit.

[ And he just... sighs to himself, hand rubbing against the back of his neck. ]

Alright, humor me... why do you need to tell Sypha about that?

[cryptsleeper]

[Congratulations Trevor. You not only smooched the dhampir you made him feel a lot of emotions right after it.]

It...feels correct? I can't explain it.

[quickwhip]

Alucard, it...

[ Fuck, how does he go about this?? ]

...it's a kiss. It's... not a big deal.

[cryptsleeper]

[Feelings are the worst.]

She'll still know, Trevor. Eventually. And will want to be included in at least knowing things.

[quickwhip]

[ Jesus Christ ]

What are you going to tell her then? That I fell into a pool and kissed you? What if that bothers her?

[cryptsleeper]

Well, yes. That was what I was going to say.

[But he has a point about it bothering Sypha. Alucard pauses, considering.]

Then it's something we address.

[quickwhip]

We?

[ Excuse you?? ]

What we is this? If you kissed Sypha for whatever reason, you think I'd want to know?

[cryptsleeper]

I meant myself and Sypha with that we, Belmont.

[Jeez.]

Would you?

[quickwhip]

No. I don't want to know that.

[ And Alucard might feel trickles of confliction amidst the annoyance as he goes about walking off then. CLEARLY NOT WANTING TO DISCUSS THIS. ]

You don't have to share everything with each other. You want to know who I've fucked, too?

[cryptsleeper]

[Wow. They managed to be nice for two seconds and this.

Alucard groans. He wants to go back to the water and kissing now, thank you.]

Fine. I'll stop.
