were you born to resist or be abused

[The only thing more legendary than Liquid's ego or his reputation was his paranoia. It had only gotten worse since the FOXHOUND betrayal at Shadow Moses. Since that--or perhaps because of it--he had developed a near sixth sense for trouble brewing.]

[The operative in the SEAL uniform didn't know exactly what was going on, but all was not well in this insane little building.]

[...and somehow, he actually found that rather exciting. He was a bit lost without something to do for Philanthropy, after all. Regardless, if something was going to happen they would need to be prepared.]

[Liquid was sitting in the library, flipping idly through a copy of Titus Andronicus.The soldier debated over whether to call Otacon now or wait until he could have some evidence with these suspicions. Acting on vague impulse had gotten him into trouble far too many times in the past.]

((ooc: Looking for reichenbackup, open to all. <3 Paranoid Plisquid is paranoid.))

[Okay, so there's an engineer in his lap. Kissing him.]

[...This is quite acceptable, and Liquid kisses him back eagerly.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[Hal murmurs in his ear.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

[He blushes a light shade of red at that, startled]

I-I...I love you too, Hal.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[He smiles.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Don't be absurd. Of course not.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

Made you blush, though.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

You most certainly did not.

[Yes he did.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

It's cute.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

I am not cute!

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[Hal wriggles in his lap a little to get comfortable, and leans his forehead against Liquid's.]

You are very cute.

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

I-I most certainly am not... 'Devilishly handsome', yes...
gorgeous', also acceptable...but I am not 'cute'.

[Kind of like how he's not blushing.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

How about all of the above?

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

...you're just going to insist, aren't you?

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[Kiss.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

I...suppose such a thing would be acceptable.

[And he's definitely not blushing more.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

. . .

[He's really not blushing now.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[Being with Liquid has made Hal a lot bolder. He walks his fingers down Liquid's collar and pectorals.]

[A small laugh.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

[Not that he minds at all. Liquid recovers quickly, arms tightening around Otacon's waist.]

I should think you'd be incredibly fortunate to dream about someone like me.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[Hal shifts forward in his lap.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Tch. I made a special exception for you and only you, Hal.

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[laughs]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

Naturally.

...I'm better than any of them, am I not? [There's the arrogant smirk, back in full force.]

[reichenbackup.livejournal.com]

[He trails his fingers up Liquid's abdomen. Seriously, he can feel each individual muscle.]

[liquidouroboros.livejournal.com]

_{mmn, Hal, that feels nice}--naturally. What am I if not the best in everything I do?
