[ he'll start stretching, too, leaning back on his arms to start bringing his legs up to his chest, then back down, interchangeably. considering he's a huge workaholic and spends most of his time at work, he doesn't even realize that actually, most people still manage to have free time... date's a seasoned agent, though, and ryuki's still just a rookie; he needs to be putting more work than most people, because he's got something to prove.
his ear twitches, again, when date mentions rabbits.
it shouldn't be a surprise β it's totally normal to have a preference for... the other kind of animals. if ryuki had to say something, he'd probably say he prefers predators, too; still, hearing it from date, and being mentioned as one of his favorites β
he flushes a bright red, turning away quickly to pretend he's just stretching his torso. ]
Right, haha. [ NERVOUSLY ] It's probably because we're always in heat.
[ Date freezes when Ryuki mentions that rabbits are always in heat, but not because of shock or anything like that. But because he wants to know more, because that's so sexy and he's never been able to talk to a real rabbit about it. His tail wags immediately, excitement showing in his body as it perks up, ears twitching as well. He grins, standing up straight and putting his hands on his hips. ]
So, it's true then? Rabbits are always in heat. I wasn't sure if that was just one of those porno things or not.
[ Then, without warning, he's going to drop down to the floor to get on Ryuki's level, crawling over to him and placing a hand on his knee. He shakes it, eagerly, his own tail still wagging as he does. ]
C'monnnn, give me the deets. Do you like, jack off every night to go to bed or hire heat companions every weekend or what? You β [ He sniffs the air, leaning forward as he clearly sniffs Ryuki a few times, curious. ] β You don't smell like heat, so you must use scent blockers.
[ A big dramatic sigh here. ]
What a shame too! I'd love to smell your heat, I bet it's so sexy.
[ Aiba is threatening him with an electric shock again. ]
[ date seems to find the subject pretty exciting β ryuki blinks, when the other suddenly gets up and wanders over, figuring he probably wants to help him stretch, or something. the wagging tail is cute β even though it's definitely wagging for nefarious purposes β and ryuki ends up staring at it, half-mesmerized, leaning back on his elbows and shaking his head. ]
It's true, but I guess everyone deals with it differently. Um... I just medicate a lot. [ hence the fact that he doesn't even smell like it, or anything.
he's sure other rabbits have it worse, on account of... not being strange. ryuki feels a bit like the odd one out β biology has always been secondary to pursuing his brother's dream, and he thinks it must've dulled his animal instincts, at some point. most prey animals don't do jobs like police officers β they wouldn't have half a mind to. it takes a lot of self-preservation to make it in a place filled with predators.
but that's really neither here nor there when your superior officer is sexually harassing you β ]
Huh?! I mean, um... β ! [ tama is mentally shaking her fist at date. ryuki's bright red, glancing away, both ears standing at attention. ] I wouldn't know. I feel like I've been blocking it for ages now.
[ it's just far easier than dealing with it any other way. ]
[ Date's hand is still on Ryuki's knee and Ryuki is leaning back on his elbows, all tantalizingly spread out for Date's purview and really, it's a miracle Date hasn't jumped him yet. They haven't even started to spar! He's still all worked up with energy to burn! Date rubs his thumb back and forth over Ryuki's knee as he considers what he says though.
Medicate a lot, huh? That can't be healthy. Probably explains why Ryuki's so twitchy if he isn't getting his natural needs met when he should be. What a shame. Date considers a lot of things then, his mind whirring β both from his pre-rut and his natural all too curious mind. ]
You ever think about getting off the meds?
[ He genuinely doesn't mean this in a sleazeball way, he's just concerned for Ryuki's long term health. Being on heat blockers is a temporary solution, though he admittedly doesn't know if there are rabbit specific heat blockers that work more long term. But at the end of the day, it should be better for Ryuki to be with a partner over the meds. Right? ]
I know you're probably used to them but... you're still young and you don't want to still be relying on that junk when you're in your 30s.
[ A shrug and he leans forward, one hand still on Ryuki's knee while the other braces itself next to Ryuki's elbow. This is all to give him the leverage to lean forward and sniff at Ryuki. Leaning even more forward, he sniffs at his throat, breathing in his scent, like he can somehow cut through the meds to find the scent of his heat.
[ maybe it was naive of him to think date would be interested in his exercise. when he doesn't move his leg, ryuki just lets him keep a hold on it, not moving from his spot. ]
Not really. If I did, I wouldn't be able to do my job, probably...
[ well, if he had someone to fuck it out of him, then sure β but he doesn't, and stopping the blockers would equal to being unreasonably horny 24/7. honestly, he doesn't know how other rabbits do it, and hasn't had his parents to explain it to him, either β it feels awkward to ask strangers, and his brother's dead, so it's not like they can compare misery. he'd died at a pretty crucial time in both of their puberties, too, and from there, ryuki's always been on his own.
tama searches the internet for him, sometimes, but what works for random people might not end up working for him. ]
I know... I know that, but... [ but paying someone for sex feels wrong? he likes to think he's not interested enough to go that far, even if tama's suggested it a bunch of times before. it wouldn't be hard, because plenty of services dedicated to this kind of a thing exist β but ryuki's always stubbornly refused it.
he's not even concerned about himself. he's more concerned about date having to be alone through his rut. ]
Mr. Date? [ the natural instinct of a prey animal kicks in β he hesitates, feeling a sudden urge to run, or maybe throw a kick, or something. a rabbit shouldn't have a wolf looming over him, after all β and he can feel his face grow redder, as date sniffs at his neck, fighting the urge to tip his head back and just bare his throat for the other without any fight at all.
well, they're still supposed to spar, so he'll shove that instinct back β only possible thanks to the meds, too β and try to kick date off, pushing himself up. ]
[ Date is far too distracted by the scent of Ryuki in his nose to really focus on the rest of what Ryuki says, so he doesn't get a chance to show his actual concern for the other man and how he feels. He does have thoughts about what might work for Ryuki, what should be better for him than just meds, but he's far too gone on his own pre-rut to really give Ryuki the adequate care he deserves.
So, it's a good thing Ryuki kicks him off. He's shoved back by his foot and lands on his ass on the mat instead with a soft oof. There's a pout on his face, of course, at being pushed back and he looks to Ryuki as the rabbit pushes up to his feet. Date does the same, pressing a hand to the mat before using it as leverage to stand and then he's in front of Ryuki again, his height making him tower over him a bit again.
His tail starts wagging. ]
Yeah, we should warm up. How do you want to do it this time?
[ He feels pretty stretched out and flexible and honestly, the pre-rut energy he's feeling is making him want to skip right to sparring now. He just has too much energy bottled up to ignore it and his fingers twitch at his side with the urge to reach out and touch Ryuki in some way. ]
