[Thankfully, Sycamore is smart enough to know that going straight to 'eating sushi off one another, intimately' right now would be....a terrible idea. However!]
Would you consider maybe mixing a bit of aphrodisiac into a couple of those chocolates, as a fun surprise? Telling him about it before he eats them, of course!
[ Sycamore must mean in the future, he doubts Yashiro will fess up to remembering their night out otherwise. Not when they shared all that they did... ]
[Listen Doumeki if you want to mutually gang up on your delightful boss and force him to stop lying, Sycamore would be down-]
Oh, I didn't even think about it, from that angle! Moreso that the aphro could be a fun thing to introduce into the bedroom, that's out of the ordinary.
[You know, that doesn't involve the usual...masochism, etc. Anyway...]
[ He'd never admit to something so dastardly but the thought is definitely there... ]
I think the boss would like that I will see about obtaining some to make a new batch of chocolates
No, I don't think so But he often acts as though he has forgotten things that would make him uncomfortable Or things that make him confront his feelings He has done it before
That certainly doesn't sound out of character for him, no.
[Hmmm. Sycamore had - mistakenly - been under the impression that Yashiro would be pleased with the developments they'd witnessed in their future visit, but perhaps he should have known better. It makes him pause for a moment, before replying.]
Are you planning to bring it up on your date, or let it lie?
It is difficult for him to address his own problems Things have not gone well for him In general So he believes it is safer than acknowledging it
[ Even dating.... Doumeki knows he's never dated before. Some part of him doesn't want to admit it, but they're probably dating because Yashiro knows it's only here, and things will go back to square 1 at home. ]
I will not bring it up I am content to let things play out It is better than risking the alternative Also I
[ This next text takes a little bit of time to type out... ]
I have known that he loves me for some time Hearing him say it... made my heart very light My feelings for him will not change Regardless of whether he "remembers" or not
It is definitely for the best that you don't talk about this on your date, Doumeki. Keep it light.
[Especially since it's an emotional enough subject without the addition of any thoughts of marriage...that level of permanence...Sycamore himself wasn't sure what to think of the fact that he was married, let alone what Yashiro and Doumeki must be going through...
...hmm.]
It's a happy thing for you to think of, though, isn't it? A future like that.
I intend to I don't want to disturb the boss His comfort is my highest priority
[ It's why he didn't ask him out on a date in the first place. Doumeki could never initiate. And marriage is beyond his wildest dreams... ]
I was very happy A future like that... is more than I could have ever dreamed I don't know how I could ever reach that kind of happiness But it is nice to have the memories
All I want is to make sure the boss is happy But he won't be happy if I force too much on him So I will wait as long as it takes
They are nice memories, aren't they? You could think of them as a lovely little treasure, just for you. That's what I'm planning on doing, anyway.
Just try not to get too lost in the fantasy, mon ami. As wonderful as that future was, it's best to focus on the Yashiro you have here with you now.
[Not that he thinks Doumeki needs him to tell him that, but still.]
Do you think the spiked chocolates would serve as a suitable new sex act, after your date? Something new and fun, that won't push the intimacy in ways Yashiro might be uncomfortable with. I'm more than happy to help you with other suggestions if you think they might not do it.
[We're about to enter another round of 'Sycamore-sensei's Explicit Lessons', aren't we....how did it come to this, Doumeki....]
If you give him the aphrodisiac - again, make sure he knows he's taking it! - and tie his hands, he won't be able to give himself any relief. Not without you involved, anyway. That's rather sexy, don't you think? Plus, we both know how much Yashiro loves to be tied down. If you want to do something you know will please him, I don't think that's strange at all!
[Listen, as long as you never, ever mention drowning again, Sycamore can handle the TMI. It's almost refreshing....]
You know what he likes better than me, mon ami. But what you're describing certainly sounds like something he'd be excited about. Especially since you're mixing in things you both like, along with the surprise, so it will be enjoyable for both of you!
[ He definitely won't... Guessing you don't want to hear about the violent dragon sex either, huh, Sycamore. ]
I hope so I want this date to go well Even if I cannot replicate the future we saw I want to come close to it, someday
It's only since arriving here that I have improved I did not have much experience before But I have listened to the boss and observed him closely So I hope I can do right by him
[...in all honesty, he will probably end up hearing about the violent dragon sex at some point....]
I'm sure the date will go well.
[Providing Yashiro doesn't try to launch himself out the nearest window at any sign of emotional intimacy, but! Surely that wouldn't happen. Definitely not.
...
...hopefully Doumeki won't bring up that marriage.]
I think the only other advice I can give you is to relax. If you overthink too much, you'll just end up stressing out. Dating is supposed to be fun!
[ Yashiro please don't tell people what Doumeki does to you, they're gonna start to worry... ]
I will let you know if it does not
[ It hasn't happened yet, but we'll see... ]
Thank you for the advice, Sensei It is difficult sometimes, when the boss opens up to me I get overwhelmed by my feelings So I will try to remember to have fun
It's my pleasure, Doumeki. I know how nice it can be to have a sounding board for these sorts of things.
[Particularly when you're dealing with a relationship as complex as this one.]
Do let me know how it goes, whether it's good or bad (although I'm positive it will be good!). That, and you know my door (or inbox!) is always open to you.
[Yes, well. The ideal situation would be you two moving away from a life of crime, but considering that your lovely boss just told him he bought a casino....
....anyway.]
You are most welcome! I have enjoyed getting to know the both of you. We're all just trying to make sense of this crazy world, aren't we? It's nice to have people to depend on.
[You know, who will rock up to your door in Hurty Rain to see if you're all right.]
You must come around some time, again. My little friends want to see you (alas, no Greninja-san available, but Froakie-san is still good!).
[ The casino thing has been in the works, you can't stop Yashiro from being Yashiro, in the end... ]
Yes It would be very lonely without friends
[ He's not used to having so many people who care, it's really nice actually! Between Sycamore and Rosho, Doumeki practically has close friends. It's wild. ]
Oh I would like that They are very sweet Please tell Froakie-san that he is ok as he is

So I will treasure them always
[ It also means he never, ever wants to leave Prisma now, so good job, future! ]
I know
The boss needs me today
As good as it felt to be so open and close to him
That is a privilege I will have to earn
I am not sure
I can feed him the chocolates, but what then?
I think I want to tie him down
Is that strange?

Yes, I would give him the option to turn it down
But he enjoys that
Denying himself
And it might make him beg
Which I like
[ Ok, getting a little TMI there Doumeki, bring it back. ]
You are better at putting into words than I am
I think I will try that, then
Perhaps with the collar as well
[ Annnd right back into TMI. This whole thing is TMI though, to be fair. ]

Soon
