•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
“Son of a bitch!” You yell as you hurl the eyeliner across the bathroom, at your wits end after messing up for the third time. It hits the door with a sharp crack before it falls to the floor.
You kick the cabinet, successfully stubbing your toe in the process.
“Shit, shit shit shit.” You tumble backwards as you hop on one foot, planting your ass right on the toilet lid with a loud groan.
“You remodeling in here?” A chirpy voice says from the other side of the door.
“Fuck off, Denki.” You bark as you hold your busted toe.
He just chuckles as he opens the door and strides in, he leans back against the counter and crosses his arms while you scowl up at him.
His signature smirk is painted across his face, yellow hair sticking up in every direction. As usual, he’s going without a shirt, leaving him in just a pair of loose basketball shorts.
They hang just a little too low, exposing the waistband of his briefs, framing his defined adonis belt…
“You’re gonna need a bucket for all that drool.” He says, raising his eyebrows as his smirk grows into a smile.
“Oh please, I was noticing how scrawny you look.” You retort, letting your foot drop to the floor so you can stand.
“You got a date?” He nods at your dress, eyes lingering at the slit that exposes just a little too much thigh.
You and Denki are just roommates, that’s it. You’re also both incredibly horny, bisexual disasters. Naturally, there’s attraction, lingering stares, and moments of tension, but it never goes past that.
Just roommates. You can’t cross that line. Kirishima had introduced you two after meeting in class one day, convinced you would hit it off. You sure as hell did. You cliqued pretty much instantly, both full of chaotic dumbass energy.
Eventually, Kirishima moved in with his boyfriend, Katsuki Bakugo. This left Denki with no roommate, which meant you got an invitation.
You were hesitant at first, moving in with somebody after a few months of friendship was a big step, but you and Denki just worked. Neither of you kept a schedule, you shared one brain cell, and you always made each other laugh.
So, of course you moved in. Two years later, it’s still you and Denki against the world. You take care of each other, he’ll bring you candy and a heating pad when you’re on your period, you’ll make him soup and play with his hair when he’s sick.
You’ve seen each other naked, heard each other have sex, and helped each other score hookups. You pick each other up when you’re sloppy drunk, and nurse each other through the hangover the next day.
You have not, and will not, cross the line of a sexual relationship with each other. You can’t afford to, neither of you can lose the movie nights, the screaming bad music in the car together, or the two in the morning waffle house runs.
“I did, but I’m not going.” You huff as you stomp over to the sink so you can wash off the makeup.
“I can’t get this stupid eyeliner right, I’ve tried like a million times and I can’t fucking do it.” You scrub your face a little too hard, turning your skin a bit red in the process.
“Want me to do it?” He asks, he says it like it’s obvious. It kind of is, the kid is wicked good at eyeliner, he does it nearly every day.
“If you pinky promise you won’t make me look stupid and sabotage my date.” You glare at him, hinting at a time when he did in fact sabotage a date.
“That was one time, which you thanked me for in the end, because the dude was a total fuckboy.” He holds up his hands in a defensive posture.
“You’re a total fuckboy, and you did not have to tell him I had fucking herpes.” You throw your wet rag at him, which he catches skillfully.
“I’m a whore, not a fuckboy. Big difference.” He says as he tosses the rag onto the side of the sink.
“What would that be?” You ask as you bend down to retrieve the eyeliner before handing it to him begrudgingly.
He accepts it with a grin, golden eyes lighting up as he pulls the cap off of the felt pen before giving it a good shake.
“Fuckboys are so selfish, they always leave someone wanting.” He shifts so he’s standing in front of you as you lean back against the counter.
He places one hand under your chin so you’ll tilt your face up for him.
“A whore keeps someone satisfied.” His voice drops slightly as he looks down at you.
You don’t look down at his lips, or his collar bones, or his abs…
“You’re such a flirt.” You say, crossing your arms, trying to put something between the two of you.
“Hell yeah I am, now close those eyes for me.” He winks and you roll your eyes before closing them.
His hand slides up from your chin so you can hold the side of your face, his thumb lifts your eyelid slightly.
The feeling of his hand touching your face so gently shouldn’t make your heart rate increase, the feeling of his breath on your face shouldn’t make your knees a little unsteady. Most of all, Denki being this close shouldn’t be making you this dizzy.
You’ve walked in on him jerking it, you’ve even walked in on him balls deep in somebody else. You and Denki are close, you’ve stood this close before, with less clothing, why does it all of a sudden feel so different? No, it doesn’t. It can’t.
You feel the felt tip of the eyeliner press into your eyelid, he moves so fluently. He flicks his wrist at the end of the line, he shifts and does the other eye with the same precision.
“Open.” You do as he says, blinking up at him, raising your eyebrows in question as he looks you over.
A pleased smile creeps onto his face.
“You’re real pretty, ya know?” He says softly, grabbing your chin gently so he can turn your face from one side to the other.
The compliment makes your cheeks grow warmer. Your eyes dart down as you shift on your feet a little bit.
“You’re a sap.” You grumble before turning to check his work in the mirror.
It’s perfect, just a delicate little wing that enhances your eye shape. Perfect for a first date, Denki has always been better at makeup, and it’s always driven you just a little insane.
“What else are you gonna do?” He asks, making eye contact with you through the mirror.
“What do you mean?” You say as you grab your mascara and start applying it.
“Well are you gonna do anything with this?” He ruffles the top of your hair, you drop the mascara so you can bat his hand away.
“Dude, knock it off.” You say, you try to sound pissed, but start laughing when he wraps his arm around your neck so he can put you in a headlock.
“Only if you let me fix the rat’s nest on your head.” He laughs as you struggle to pull his arm off.
“I can do my own hair you sparky bastard.” You reach over and pinch his side.
He yelps and releases you from the hold, he raises his hands up and gives you a mischievous look.
“Oh, you want sparky?” Small snaps of electricity start to emit from his palms.
“Denki Kaminari, if you zap me I will suplex you.” You warn him, looking around for something you can grab to defend yourself with.
He’s much quicker than you though, and his arms around your waist in an instant. He hoists you up into the air and sits your ass on the counter. You feel the little shocks popping at your sides as he pushes you so your back is pressed against the mirror. Your senses are invaded by his warmth and the smell of Axe body spray, a smell you’ve grown to love.
“Denki, no! This shit always makes my hair all frizzy!” You protest as involuntary giggles leave your chest.
“Aw, sweetheart, are you sayin’ you can feel electricity between us?” He wiggles his eyebrows as his fingers stall.
“I will puke on you if you say any more cheesy shit.” You warn him, trying to keep your face straight, but you crack up at the melodramatic expression that crosses his face.
Then he delivers a particularly strong zap to the meat of your hip.
You don’t have time to control the way your body reacts. There’s no chance for you to keep your back arches, or the way you let out a fuck. The way you shiver is a little too intimate, your voice a little too broken. All of which Denki pays a little too much attention to.
You both settle and freeze, his sharp eyes meet yours. You’ve seen Denki Kaminari look serious a grand total of twice in the time you’ve known him. The first time was when you were ridiculously sick last winter, fever and chill with the works. The second time is now.
He watches you carefully, one eyebrow shooting up.
“Did that tickle?” He questions, a hint of amusement in his voice.
“It- yeah- it also fucking hurt, asshole.” You grumble, pushing at his chest so you can hop off the counter.
You try to shove past him with your head down, desperate to get out from under the weighty tension in the bathroom. Denki grabs you around the wrist though, stopping you in your tracks.
Your eyes meet as another wave of nerves washes over your body.
“Are we gonna talk about it?” His voice is steady, but tentative.
“There’s nothing to talk about.” Your voice is just above a whisper.
Though, there certainly was.
You both stand there for a brief beat of thick silence, watching, waiting. You must imagine the way his lip twitches, the way his body shifts forward slightly…
No fucking way.
You turn on your heels and make your way out of the bathroom quickly.
You’re in your room with the door closed in no time. You lean against the back of it, catching the breath you didn’t realize you had lost.
What the hell was that? And why did it feel so… good?
No. Fuck no. Not with Denki.
You get ready in a huff, positively full of angst and confusion.
You shove it all down. It’s normal, right? To have a bit of tension with somebody you know so well, live so closely with, care for so deeply. You and Denki know each other. That’s all.
Your outfit isn’t much, but it’s enough for a first day. The colors are flattering against your complexion, the fabric clings in the right places. It’s nice, just nice.
You walk quietly from your room to the living room where Denki is sitting on the couch, legs spread wide with an arm across the back. Looking absolutely delicious- fuck- no not delicious. He just looks like Denki.
“That’s cute.” He says, he motions up and down with his phone, directing his comment at your outfit.
“Thanks.” You say a little too shortly, feeling the guilt immediately.
“I’ll be home later.” You say as you grab your keys from the dish.
“Be safe.” He calls after you.
Fuck.
***
Your date is an absolute disaster, nothing short of a trainwreck. It’s one of those dates that drains you. You politely nod as they ramble on about themselves, laugh at the bad and very insensitive jokes, and indulge in the small talk. Most of all, you miss Denki. You contribute very little, enjoy nothing, and wait for the end of the dreadful two hours you set aside for this.
You pay for dinner quickly, declining their offer for drinks, giving some bullshit excuse about having to work in the morning and being tired. You’re off tomorrow, and you’re wide awake.
You’re itching to get back to your apartment, dying to tell Denki all about your date’s wet cardboard personality. Hopefully, the bizarre moment you shared in the bathroom will be ignored and buried.
Never to be seen again.
You bust into the apartment, shuck off your bag and kick off your shoes. Denki is no longer on the couch, but at the kitchen table huddled over a cup of tea. The lights are all low or off, leaving him in mostly darkness. His posture is odd, slouched, defeated almost.
“Who died?” You try to joke, usually able to earn a chuckle with that line.
Denki doesn’t chuckle though, he sniffles.
“Sparky? What’s wrong?” You’re on him instantly, feet moving on their own.
Your hands are on the sides of his face, pulling up so he has to look at you. Your heart clenches and your chest burns as soon as the small amount of light catches his face.
His left cheek is painted with a deep red and purple bruise. His bright eyes search your face as you take the sight in, and you’re suddenly filled with fiery rage when you see how heartbroken he looks.
“Who the fuck-”
“It was my fault.” He cuts you off, grabbing your wrists so he can pull your hands off his face.
“Denki, what-”
“I told him we would hook up, so he thought we would. When I got there he had a bad vibe so I tried to leave… but he didn’t like that and he-”
You hush him when his breathing picks up, when you see tears well and his lip quiver.
“Hey, it’s ok, you’re ok.” You pull him against your chest, making a mental note to find and throttle the bastard that did this.
But that can wait. You and Denki had both returned from dates fairly busted up. The bruises were always one that were wanted though, never like this. A bad date was always laughed over, never cried over. The very thought of somebody laying their hands on Denki like this… it makes your skin crawl, it makes you want to kill.
His arms are around your waist immediately, hands grabbing as your clothes, pulling you closer. You hold each other for a long while until you feel his leg start bouncing and his fingers start to twitch.
You pull back and look down at him. He looks so displaced, so frantic and caught off guard. He needs something to do. Something to focus on. You can tell he’s not ready to talk, but he’s ready to be distracted, talking will come later.
“Will you help me get this shit off my face?” You ask gently, sliding your hand through his hair.
He blinks hard before wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.
“Yeah- shit- I’m sorry, how was your date?” He asks, doing a shit job as pulling himself together.
“Don’t be sorry. It was awful. All they talked about was their college glory days.” You sigh, thumb running over his forehead.
“That didn’t win you? What’s wrong with you?” He asks, voice dripping with sarcasm.
There he is, or at least he’s trying.
“I missed you the whole time.” It slips out, runs away from you. You mean it though, god do you mean it.
He looks up at you with that same uneasy, distraught look. It almost makes you buckle. You feel pulled to fall into his lap, wrap yourself around him and press sweet kisses into his neck. You can’t, you know you can’t. He would probably be pissed if you crossed that line.
He doesn’t answer, he just nods silently, eyes falling to the ground as he stands up.
“Let’s get that shit off your face.”
You end up perched on the counter again as he wipes your makeup off with a warm cloth. It may seem backwards, him taking care of you, to most people it is. During your time together, you’ve learned that Denki feels useless if he isn’t helping.
When something is hurting him, he’s healed by pouring into someone else, so you let him. You’ll ice his bruise later, bring him water and medicine once you help him scratch this itch.
He takes his time with you, wiping away the makeup he did for you. The dull ache returns to your chest as he works. The soft glow of the bathroom nightlight is your only illumination, giving the room a painfully intimate environment.
He slowly wipes the cloth across your forehead one last time, laying it on the sink before bringing his hand up to hold your chin like he had earlier. You can’t help but glance at his bruise and simply hurt deep inside. You hate that you weren’t there, that you couldn’t stop it.
He breathes for a moment, looking at the planes of your face, eyes lingering in your lips for a bit too long.
“Pretty…” It’s a soft confession, something far too tender for the nature of your relationship.
His admittance settles somewhere deep within you, it wraps itself around your heart and warms it. It’s almost overwhelming and definitely terrifying.
“Do you need to eat?” You kill the building flames immediately, stamp them out with a stubborn foot.
He doesn’t mean it, he’s just vulnerable, he’s just emotional. You’d be an asshole to give into it.
“I could eat.” He sighs.
***
“This is so fucking stupid.” Denki laughs, irritated by the default plot line of the chick flick on tv.
You had ordered your favorite takeout, too much of it, to share as you watch. Slowly, you had pulled him out of his shaken state. With plenty of talk about your awful date, several good laughs, and the occasional soft spoken “you’re okay”. Denki is now settled with his head in your lap as he criticizes the lazy drama of the film.
“Why won’t they just stop being stupid and just… like each other?” He whines, gesturing at the tv with an inpatient hand.
“Dude they can’t. It would ruin the tension for them to like each other right now.” You explain.
He sits up and huffs before grabbing a handful of popcorn.
“But they could work. They could really work.” He says as he stuffs his face.
He seems so genuinely thoughtful, despite his grievances with the quality of the movie, he’s involved.
“Maybe they could.” You say, watching him instead of the movie.
He feels it when he looks at you, squeezing his ribs, trickling down his spine. The overwhelming, almost blind urge to lean in and kiss you. But he can’t, so he doesn’t.
“Could they?” He whispers.
You’re both frozen, trapped in the beam that’s suddenly shining down on you. It exposes every crack and corner of your relationship, leaving you both ripped open and afraid.
He’s leaning in again like he did in the bathroom, closer and closer and closer… until he grabs his damn drink.
Fuck.
A blush spreads across your cheeks, stomach aching with embarrassment. You pull back, shoving yourself under a blanket. You weren’t too obvious, right? You didn’t lean in too much… right?
He takes a long sip then sets the drink down harshly, not enough to make you jump, but enough to make you pay attention.
“Can we stop, please?” He says as he stands up, he runs his hands through his hair and huffs before he starts to pace.
“What?” You ask, trying to sound as oblivious as possible.
“Dude.” He turns on you, looking exhausted, eyes begging you for something.
“Denki- I, you need sleep…” You stand up and start to tidy, not really doing anything though. Just picking up cups and setting them down to look busy.
“I don’t need sleep.” He snaps before grabbing you by the shoulders. His eyes are wild, frantic, searching.
“What do you need?” You ask, hands shaking at your sides. His body sags, hands releasing you so he can hug himself.
“I don’t know.” It’s short and rushed, and he leaves you no time to respond before he storms off to his bedroom. His feet stomp, the door slams, and you fall to the couch in a heap.
This cannot be happening, not to you and Denki. You both just need sleep, you just need to brush it off and start again tomorrow. He’s emotional. He’s just emotional.
You turn the TV off, sneering at the couple kissing on it. You clean up slowly, setting dishes in the sink to be done tomorrow.
It’s ok. You’re ok. Emotions run high after bad dates, after traumatic events. It’s human nature. That’s all, you and Denki will be ok, you always are.
Your shoulders draw up when you hear his door open again, staying busy at the sink as you heard him walk into the kitchen.
“Can we talk about it?” His voice is unsteady, it tugs on your heart as you spin to face him.
“Talk about wha-”
“Please. Don’t.” He sighs as he steps towards you.
He’s too damn pretty when he’s tired. His cheeks get all pink, with glassy eyes and a shiny nose. Even with his busted cheek bone, he’s so… pretty.
Denki’s feelings have always run hot, he loves fast and hurts deeply. You can’t even begin to imagine the tsunami of emotion he must have pounding against his chest. You see it in his eyes though, something is breaking him.
“We could work.” He closes the distance between you even more, giving you no room to hide once your backside hits the counter.
“Denki…” You put your hands on his chest, trying to put something between you two, trying to cling to the line that’s been drawn.
“We could. Just- you don’t have to answer. Just think about it.” And then he’s gone again, away to hide in his room. Leaving you shocked and overwhelmed.
We could work.
You could, and you know it, you’re just not ready to accept it.
***
Sleep doesn’t come well, or even at all. You do think about it, all night. It’s the only thing on your mind as you toss and turn and huff. The sun is already peaking up into the sky, bathing your room in a hazy glow.
We could work.
Just because you could, doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be foolish of you to try. This is a friendship neither of you can afford to lose. You have some confidence that it could indeed withstand an awkward attempt at a relationship… but what if the attempt wasn’t awkward? Denki had told you, drunkenly, how much he loved you. He slept next to you when you cried, held you and talked you down. He knew how many sugars to put in your coffee and how you never bothered to match your socks.
Over time, Denki had memorized you as a person, and you had done the same for him. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to have in a partner? Someone who knows you, someone who makes it safe to be known.
Knock knock
It’s a courtesy knock, something he does to let you know he’s coming in. You never keep your door locked, and he’s always allowed in.
“Mornin’.” He says with a scratchy voice as he peaks into your room.
Fucking hell. Why does he have to be so pretty all the time?
“Mornin’.” You reply
You pull the blankets up around your chest, you realize now you’re in one of his t-shirts, not uncommon, but entirely too intimate given recent events.
He sits on the edge of your bed, all messy hair and puffy eyes. He offers you one of the coffee cups he’s holding, and it smells divine. You accept it as you sit up right, crossing your legs and clinging to your blankets.
His bruise is darker, yellow around the edges with deep red and purple splotches. It gives your chest the same tight feeling, something helpless and angry.
“I’m sorry, I was out of line.” He says quietly.
“You were right, I was emotional and I needed sleep and I definitely shouldn’t have dumped it on you.”
He fidgets while he talks, leg bouncing as his fingers dance around his mug. You reach out to rub his back, but he flinches. He fucking flinches.
Neither of you speak, but you meet each other’s eyes. He looks sorry, so sorry. He looks embarrassed and scared and guilty.
Slowly, you grab both cups and set them on your nightstand. You open your arms to him, still not speaking, not opening the door for him to apologise for something that isn’t his fault.
He falls into you easily, arms around your waist with his face against your neck. He crumbles there, unable to articulate, only able to cry. You hold him close, rub circles in his back and play with his hair. You let him go as long as he needs to, sitting with him, hurting with him.
“Denki?” You tread carefully, using your softest voice.
He looks up then, with a rosey face and searching eyes.
“You’re safe here. You’re safe with me.”
Something you’ve never seen before flashes in his eyes, something soft and warm, something that makes you want to fall forward into him like he just did with you.
You don’t, though, you stay still.
“Thank you.” He whispers.
Then, with all the caution and care in the world, he places a kiss on your forehead. It’s so simple, it’s been done a million times between the two of you, but it sits differently in your chest this time. It stays there, taking up space, spreading through you. That feeling of wanting to cross a line.
“Do you want to make breakfast?” He asks as he wipes at his face with his sleeves.
“Of course. You want those big ass waffles I make?” You ask, trying to lighten the mood.
His grin is slow to appear, but it does appear, and it’s as dazzling as always.
“I always want some big ass waffles.”
***
The rest of the day is spent in close proximity with each other, not unusual, but like everything else the past twenty four hours, it feels different.
You share you sit with knees touching while you eat your waffles, pee with the door open, he puts the toothpaste on your toothbrush for you. It’s all so normal for you two, but god it feels so different. It feels more important, it feels more… wholesome? Maybe? Not quite, that word isn’t entirely applicable. Neither you to Denki are wholesome in any capacity. Then a horrible thought scrambles into your mind.
It feels romantic. It feels domestic. It feels like a relationship.
It hits you while you’re helping him clean up the mess you’ve made cooking dinner. It’s in the way his hand ghosts over your waist when he slides behind you, the way he gets you more to eat without asking him to, the way makes you laugh so naturally.
Fuck.
You love him, you know this as a fact. You love him more than anyone, he knows you inside and out and you know him. You’re just now realizing in exactly what way you love him. He holds your hair when you puke, he rubs your back when you cramp, he pretends to be your boyfriend to scare off bad dates. He loves you too.
“Denki.” Your voice is quiet, your hands shake.
“Can we talk about it?”
His whole body tenses as he sets down the plate he was rinsing. He turns slowly, as if to avoid frightening you.
“Can we?” He asks gently, hopefully.
You step towards him, twisting your fingers around each other anxiously.
“This… works, doesn’t it?” You ask, awkwardly gesturing between the two of you.
He closes more of the distance, standing only inches from you.
“It does, and it could.” He says gently.
“What If it doesn’t?” You wonder out loud, fear creeping up your spine.
“Then it doesn’t.” He says simply.
“And we’ll be ok?”
“We’ll be ok.”
You stand in silence, keeping an eye on each other as you both process the information. He does that leaning thing again, like he wants to be closer. Then you panic.
“But it would be stupid.” You say as you turn away, wringing your hands around each other while you pace. He lets out a sigh and throws his hands up, exhausted with the back and forth.
“Right, because you and I would never do anything stupid.” His voice is rough, impatient, unfamiliar.
“We can’t afford to be stupid with this, dude. Can’t you see that?” You argue.
“Then we can be careful with it, we can start slow, we can ease into it.” He’s nearly begging, stepping towards you again.
“Ease into what!?” You turn on him, stopping him in his tracks.
“Don’t play dumb.” He crosses his arms, you mirror him, both skittish, both afraid.
“Tell me you don’t want this, and we won’t talk about it ever again. You have my word.” He offers, but he doesn’t want to.
You stand there, weighing your options, chest seizing as you watch his vibrant eyes search your face.
You can’t tell him you don’t want it. You can’t lie to him.
“I- Denki… I can’t lose you. We can’t fuck this up.” You feel tears prick at your eyes and a tightness in your throat, the very idea of being without your best friend makes you panic.
“You won’t fucking lose me. You have me, all of me. We won’t fuck this up if we just keep doing what we do.” He tries to keep his voice calm, but he breaks a little.
Another moment of heavy silence is spent between you, chests rising and falling rapidly, hands twitching as minds race.
Denying this any longer would be a crime, a horrible waste of time. Something snaps then, something gives in, and the line is crossed.
His hands are at the side of your face and his forehead falls against yours. Breath is hot, hands are needy, hearts are aching.
“Please, god, please.” You grab at his wrists, not to push him off, to pull him in, keep him close.
“I want you, need you, please.” You confess.
And then your soul is in flames. He shudders and his lips are on yours as soon as he can get them there. All at once, and not soon enough, the line you had both been clinging to is crossed. His hands hold your face so tightly as he works his lips against yours, kissing you with all he has left, letting loose all the times he’s wanted to before. It’s all consuming, it’s mind numbing, it’s (no pun intended) fucking electric.
He walks you back as he kisses you urgently until your ass hits the counter, his hands are on the backs of your thighs instantly. He whispers a quick jump against your lips. You do exactly that.
Now seated on the counter, you spread your legs so he can settle between them. He slides in perfectly, lips still hot and greedy against your own. His hands cling to your hips while yours claw at his back.
He breaks from you, panting with his pupils blown wide.
“Can we do something stupid?” He asks between puffs of air.
“Please, Denki, please.” You sigh, grabbing at his shirt. He grabs it by the collar and rips it off, revealing the body you’ve seen so often, but now you get to know it.
“I wanna taste your pussy.” He whispers before pressing his open mouth against your neck.
The words send a shock all the way down your body. The sparks fly and then settle between your legs where you feel his hard length pressing against your heat.
“Haven’t shaved.” You say, slightly embarrassed.
“Like I fucking care.” And then his hands are at your clothes, pulling them off and throwing them away until you’re left completely bare for him.
His skin feels like heaven against yours, warm and dewy and right.
“Gonna make you feel so good, fuck.” The last word is said with a tone of disbelief.
His hands slide up your sides, gathering your breasts so he can tease your nipples with his thumbs.
He smirks against your neck when you gasp and arch against him, pushing your bodies even closer together.
“Sensitive little thing, aren’t you?” He taunts.
“You’re talking too much.” You let out a breathy laugh at his teasing before planting your hand on top of his head and pushing him down.
He gladly falls to his knees, he throws one of your legs over his shoulder like it’s life or death before finally looking at your soaked center.
“Oh my fucking god.” He sighs.
“I wanna tease you but holy hell, I gotta-” He’s on you before you can brace at all, his tongue licks along your slit slowly, almost reverently.
And then he moans. It’s something whiney, something achey, escaping from the back of his throat.
He doesn’t stop, he doesn’t pull away, he finds the spot that makes you jump and sets up camp. He kitten licks your clit until your hands are pulling at his hair as you gasp above him.
It’s all so much, it’s all so good. Especially when he finally presses two fingers into you. He steps a gentle pace, a soothing push and pull that feels incredible. He works and works and works until your thighs are trembling and you’re babbling praises.
“Denki- fuck- there, right there, fuck fuck fuck.” He eats you so sweetly, with so much precision.
You almost anticipated him being more reckless, more sloppy. He isn’t though, he takes his time, learning your sweet spots, finding the angle that makes you crumble.
And he does.
You reach your end when he flattens his tongue and curls his fingers, massaging every part of you. His name falls from your lips in a broken cry, hands tug at his hair as your thighs squeeze his head.
He helps you through it, licking and fingering slowly to ease you back down, letting you feel every last nerve erupt in pleasure.
“Fuck that was perfect, you’re so fucking sweet.” He sighs against you.
You don’t answer, you can’t, you just grab at him until he gets the hint to stand up.
“Need you inside me, please, Denki please.”
“That’s funny.” He says thoughtfully, pulling down his sweats and briefs to reveal his very hard, very pretty dick.
“What?” You ask, breathless as he steps between your legs. He grabs at his length and gives it a few lazy strokes before pressing his head up against your cunt. The action makes you shiver and dig your nails into his shoulder.
“Didn’t think you were one to beg.” He says with a trembling voice, body buzzing with anticipation.
Then he presses in, replacing any smart remark you may have had with a gasp. It’s definitely a stretch, but god it’s incredible. He fills you so well, presses all of the right spots as he slides in.
“Denki- shit.” Your head falls back against the cabinet, your brain turns to mush as you try to fully comprehend how you ended up here, most of all how you went so long without this.
“So fucking tight.” He pants as he bottoms out, his praise makes you clench, which in turn makes his head fall back with a sweet little gasp.
He pulls in a sharp breath through his teeth, his top lip pulls up almost like he’s in pain. You know he isn’t though, he’s just savoring it.
With a frantic hand, you reach up and grab at the hair at the nape of his neck. You pull him back down against you, both moaning into the kiss when he moves his hips back slowly.
Your lips are messy against each other, bodies working together, finally colliding the way they’re meant to. He keeps his hips moving, setting a perfect, smooth pace. His hands settle on your hips as your stay in his hair.
You’re more vocal than usual, moaning out little praises, needing more and begging for it.
“You feel so good, don’t stop, baby- feels so fucking good.” Your lips quiver as you speak, making you sound so weak and needy. That mixed with the affectionate name does something to Denki, something that names him break a little more.
He buries his face into your neck, whispering a harsh fuck that sounds strangled and desperate. His thrusts get a little faster, his hands grab you a little tighter, and all you feel is Denki.
Your whole body buzzes, in your fingertips, the backs of your thighs, you feel him everywhere.
You don’t even consider the mess that you’ll make on the counter, don’t mind the bruises he’ll leave on your hips, it’s all worth it. So fucking worth it.
“Look at me, look at me when I make you cum.” One of his hands comes up to hold your face as he speaks frantically.
His words set off a cloud of butterflies in your stomach, every sensation building, becoming more intense. You nod pitifully as you lean into his hand, chasing your high with each of his deep, filling thrusts.
The feeling of his hand on your hip reminds you of the last time he had you sitting on a counter like this. You remember how he shocked you, how it went straight to your cunt, how much you loved the feeling.
Body jolting with each thrust, your hand falls over his on your hip. You give him one look, and his eyebrows shoot sky high.
“Yeah? You want me to shock you?” His voice climbs as he speaks, so high and pretty and needy.
“Yes, fuck yes, please, Denki.” You plead, you’re so damn close, you just need that final push.
He doesn’t waste any time. As soon as you ask so sweetly, his palm starts to spark, biting at your skin. You cry out and throw your head forward, the electricity drives you up a wall, absolutely hooked on the sensation.
“That’s it, cum nice and hard for me sweetheart.” His other hand moves down to thumb at your clit and that’s all it takes.
“I’m gonna- ohmyfuckinggod- Denki! Shit!” You sob against his skin as he zaps you just a little more. It makes you delirious, you shiver and jolt as your hands claw down his back.
He fucks you through it, moans and praises fall from his lips as you crest. Your walls quiver around him, almost finishing him off too. Somehow, he keeps it together, he holds his pace until he’s sure you’re on your way back down.
“That’s it baby, that’s it.” He coos as his thrust become more shallow, “Oh fuck.”
He pulls out and jacks himself off only a few times before he’s spilling onto your thigh, painting the skin hot white ropes.
Your hand darts down to gather his release on your fingers before bringing it to your lips. You make a show of licking it up, popping your fingers from your mouth as your eyes flutter shut.
“Oh you dirty fuckin’ girl.” He muses, he gathers the rest up with his thumb so he can press it into your mouth.
You swirl your tongue around his thumb, looking up at him with a doe eyed expression.
You never dreamed you two would ever end up here, feeling and tasting each other in the filthiest of ways, but god it feels so right.
You stay there for just a moment, clinging to the high and each other, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
As your breathing steadies, his hands are placed gently around your waist, thumbs playing at the bottom of your ribs.
You share a moment of silence, waiting for the other to make the first move.
“Wanna talk about it?” Denki asks, a smile playing at his lips. You let out a breathy laugh, head falling forward so you can lean your forehead against his collar bone.
You start to press soft kisses across his chest, he hand slides to play with the hair at the back of your head.
“I don’t think we have to.” You kiss up his chest until you’re looking up at him.
“This works, doesn’t it?” He asks fondly, looking as stunning as ever, bruise and all.
“This works.” You confirm.
With that, he ducks down suddenly, arms sliding around you so he can throw you over his shoulder.
“Denki! What the hell?” You laugh, pounding at his back playfully.
“If we aren’t talkin’ we’re fuckin’. This isn’t a one and done deal baby.” He says as you round the corner to your bedroom, he throws you on the bed so you land with a bounce and a giggle.
“I hope you don’t have plans for the next six hours.” He falls into you, kissing all over your neck and collarbones.
“Hey.” You say quietly.
“Hmm.” He responds between kisses.
“I love you, sparky.”
He pauses, looking up at you with his luminant eyes.
“I know.” His face splits into a teasing grin.
You punch his shoulder, pouting dramatically.
He inches up the bed, caging you with his arms so he can cradle your head with his hands. He looks at you thoughtfully for just a moment before leaning down to kiss you.
It’s gentle and careful this time, slow and thought out. It makes you absolutely melt.
“I love you too.” He whispers against your lips.
It does work, it works beautifully. It was a slow and not so steady road, but you two knuckleheads did it. You crossed that damn line.

From REG Issue #23
Rick Wright at Roger Waters Atlanta show
Aug. 22, 1999
by Cameron Mayer
August 22, 1999 Lakewood Amphitheater Atlanta Georgia
Well, I guess there were some great things in store for me this evening, and as fate has it, it turned out to be one of the most memorable nights of my 38 years!!
Myself, Keith, (my old roomy) Nola, (ex-girlfriend) and Caroline, (current girlfriend) made our way to our seats at the Lakewood Amphitheater, literally freaking at how close we were to the stage!! (10th row, left side as you looked at the stage) A lot of people bitch about Lakewood, but this was my 4th show there and I've yet to have 1 complaint!! We're sitting there just kinda staring around, checking the place and people out, when a man and woman come walking past in the row in front of us. I took a brief glimpse, and then a close look, and just about had an internal fit!! If this wasn't Rick Wright, then he had an exact look-a-like!!
I whispered in Nola and Caroline's ear "That guy in front of us is Richard Wright, the keyboard player from Pink Floyd." And of course, no one believed me. I'm not one to have to prove things, so I just told 'em fine, don't believe me, but it IS HIM!!
The show got underway 10 minutes later and man, was I impressed. I'll be the first to tell you, I'm not a big Roger solo fan, but this man and this band had it goin' on!! I'm equally, if not more so impressed with this show, than the 4 Floyd shows I've seen. (2 AMLoR shows, 2 DB shows) Roger's playing was incredible, and if there's anyone out there who doubts his bass playing ability at this time, well, this guy knows what the hell he's doing!!
Anyhoo, after the 1st set ended, we're just kinda sittin' there during intermission, and Keith reaches over to strike up a conversation with Rick, who at this time confirms my thoughts!! Keith introduced me to him as the "Largest Pink Floyd fan on the planet" to which Rick responded with a HUGE grin!! His wife got up at this time to go out for a beer and the conversation went something like this:
Cameron: Very nice to meet you,  I'd like to thank you for 25+ years of great music!!
Rick: Oh, you're very welcome... mind if I ask where you guys are from? (I don't know where that  came from!!)
Cameron and Keith: We're from Jacksonville,  FL...
Rick: Pretty good show tonight, don't you think?
Cameron (stupefied that I'm  having a conversation with an IDOL!!):  Sounds great so far...what do you think?
Rick: They sound pretty good.  Roger's vocals are a bit off key, but he was notoriously off key even in the old days. Jon's doing a great job with my parts, but I'm not too impressed with the guitar work. No one can touch what David is capable of on guitar.
Tumblr media
 Cameron: Didn't Snowy tour with you guys during the Animals tour?
Rick: Yes, yes he did. But no one can touch David...
Cameron: Any thoughts of going up and playing? (can't believe I had the audacity to say that!!)
Rick: Well, if I played, Dave and Nick would have something to say about that, wouldn't they!!
Cameron: I guess they probably would!! Has it been a while since you've seen Roger?
Rick: Oh yes!! David had his blowout with Roger in '84 and I had mine with him 3 years before that...it's been 15 years since I've seen or spoken with Roger. My wife is in the process of remodeling a house here in Atlanta. They'd been playing a lot of Floyd and Roger stuff on the radio here, and that's how I found out about the show. I thought that it would be good to come see how things were going, how things sounded...I had a lot of mixed feelings about coming tonight. I'm going to be living here part time and plan on seeing some more shows here, but hopefully not from these seats... people can't seem to sit down, you know...it's terribly hot too, don't you think?
Cameron: It is pretty warm in here tonight. No breeze at all. We're pretty used to it though, being from the south. At this time his wife comes back with an ice cold brewsky!! Rick is not drinking anything, nor does he for the entire night!! Water, beer,  nothing!! He lights a cigarette and introduces his wife to Keith and I, but her name escapes me, and is not written down in my notes!! Needless to say,  I'm about to wet my friggin' pants at this point...
His Wife (who's now wearing a  backstage pass, comes back with her beer and says to Rick):  I think Jon's coming down to say hello.
Rick, seemingly quite nervous:  Really? Did you speak with him?
Wife: No, but... (such and  such, blah, blah, I didn't catch the rest of her comment.)
Rick (turns around toward me  to continue the conversation):  Well, I guess Jon is coming down. He toured with us the last 2 rounds you know...
Cameron: Oh yeah!! I was able to see 2 shows from the last 2 tours...you guys are just incredible...any chance of...
At this time, the guy who is sitting about 4 seats down figures out who Rick is and yells, pretty much at the top of his lungs, while tapping Rick on his left shoulder...Are you?...
Keith looks over at the guy and puts his finger to his mouth in a shhhh gesture... the guy shuts up, realizing, I guess, what he was about to do. Then, walking down the aisle comes Jon Carin, with a couple of women and 2 guys who look like they might be roadies... he comes and sits down with Rick and his wife, and at this point, I can't really hear what they're saying.
Also, a few people have started to walk over and ask for autographs... Rick signs away, a bit baffled, but still seeming very surprised that Jon came down. Unfortunately, I didn't hear one word that was said between the two. Jon and crew got up about 5 minutes later, and at this time, there are a bunch of folks hounding Rick for autographs, giving thanks, etc. He seemed a bit "antsy" at this point, so we just kicked back and took it all in.
I got up to go and get a tour program to be signed, and also to get a beer. While standing in the beer line, the 2nd set started...I missed about 2 minutes of the first song, but no biggie...I had my program and was going to get an autograph at the end of the show!!
Fantastic 2nd set, which provided a nice group of Rog's solo stuff...immediately after the final notes of Eclipse, 2 guys walked down and motioned to Rick and his wife...the lights went dark, and I tried to stick my tour book out in front of him for an autograph, but he looked at me and rushed on by...I'm still kickin' myself in the ass for not asking earlier, but was pretty much caught in the thrill of the moment.
There you have it. Not really all that much to some, I'm sure. But it was sure as hell a very cool happening for Keith and I, not one that will ever happen again...I'm not usually one to try and keep things to myself, but it sure was a drag once people started realizing who he was and all...we wish we could of kept him all to our stingy selves!!
Go ahead, tell me I'm full of it, or say that there's no way he said this or that. I thought he was off a bit about the time frames in which his and Dave's blowouts took place, but I took notes and this was pretty much word for word what he said. I still can't believe I didn't get an autograph. It seemed too bizarre that it was all happening...
If anyone has any question's, go ahead and fire away!! The above pretty much covers the entire conversation though. Rick looked to be in great shape and health, and he was more than friendly when speaking with us. He seemed to be a bit rattled about Jon coming down, and I'm wondering if the guys who came down at show's end and whisked them away, took them backstage...?
Peace, Cameron www.angelfire.com/fl/cjmayer/index.html Ñ

Tumblr media
The bounty had been posted for nearly three months now, but Yang Zhen still hadn’t been caught. During those three months, the rumors have been brutal. Yuan Da hasn’t bothered to do anything about the hunt. He stayed in the bookstore, reading dictionaries and encyclopedias as though it were a slow season. So Daojian followed in suit, doing nothing about anything. The very thought of going up against someone like Yang Zhen put knots in his stomach. He’d have stress dreams of walking endlessly in various places, knowing that he was being followed. It was always Yang Zhen that caught him in the end. Of course, he woke up before knowing any details about how he died — out of convenience. Daojian was no match for Yang Zhen — not in his dreams or in reality. The only way to take a brutal assassin like him down was to stab him in the back twenty-three times by twenty-three different people. 
Autumn was finally kicking in, the most beautiful time of the year in Taiwan according to everyone else. Sunny weather with cool air and a little rain, just enough to remind someone that the typhoons would be coming back in a year. As with any slack season, Daojian spent his days humbly. Early mornings, as early as three or four in the morning, at the dock and evenings spent with his two cats and radio. Occasionally, he’d stare out the window with tea or whiskey (Johnnie Walker Blue, fuck Jack Daniel’s). When Sock and Lamp fell asleep, their heads resting on each other, Daojian would turn his attention to whatever history book Yuan Da chucked from the inventory that month. The History of Syphilis and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee both cracked at their spines when he first opened them in October. When he grew tired of flipping pages that were still damp from the summer’s humidity, he’d smoke a cigarette and take two shots of whiskey to fall asleep.
It was nearing the end of November when there was a knock on Daojian’s door. When he opened it, Yang Zhen was standing there, completely drenched. He was at least six or seven centimeters taller, the beads of water seemed to fall forever from the brim of his hat to the hardwood floor. He had a camping backpack on his back and a black shopping bag filled with beer and whiskey in his hand.
“My bucket list told me to have a drink with you.” Yang Zhen grinned as he spoke. 
“Shoes off, I’ll get you some towels.”
Yang Zhen stepped in and bent over to wiggle his feet out of his boots, shedding water and scaring Sock and Lamp in the process. They ran towards the top of their cat tower and eyed the taller male. He lost weight, a man that was already lanky to begin with, that put him at just skin and bones now. Daojian tossed a towel over his head and began to wipe the floor with another.
“Are you boycotting umbrellas?” Daojian asked.
“I dropped it somewhere, didn’t want to spend money on a new one.”
“Even dead men have to worry about money, huh?”
Yang Zhen laughed, turning his expression from that of walking corpse to a schoolboy. “Dead or not, I didn’t want to waste money.”
“Want a change of clothes?”
“No, I’ll dry off soon enough. Besides, your clothes won’t fit me. You’re too short.”
“I’m above average. You’re just a genetic mishap.”
Daojian headed towards the stove to start a pot of tea. The cats, still incredibly curious, poked their noses out to inspect Yang Zhen. He wiggled his fingers at them but they remained still.
He looked disappointed. “They won’t come out.”
“I told them not to mess with bad guys.”
Daojian poured two cups of boiling water as Yang Zhen warmed his hands over the stove.
“How much is my bounty?” Yang Zhen reached into the cupboard for the green tea, placing two bags in each cup.
“A hundred million-ish.”
“Haven’t you always wanted a Mercedes Benz?”
Daojian snorted. “I’d get bonus if I kill you, that and some glory.”
“I’d take cash over glory, if I were you.” 
“Why not die quietly? By your own terms?”
Yang Zhen emptied the shopping bag, placing its contents on the small kitchen table. “Why bother? You should take easy money when you can, it’s not like I’ve done anything for you.” He cracked the top of a Jack Daniel’s whiskey and drank from the bottle, Daojian counted six gulps. “I’ve been too scared to drink.”
“To think that guys like you get scared.” Daojian sat down and pulled on the strings of the teabags. 
“I’m not that much of an idiot to get drunk without someone who can watch my back.”
Daojian paused. Yang Zhen grabbed a handful of ice cubes from the freezer before sitting down, the sound of the ice grinding and squeaking between his teeth put Daojian on edge. Suddenly, Yang Zhen cracked open a Johnnie Walker Blue and pushed it towards Daojian.
“You’re missing out, I’ve got the real man’s drink.”
Daojian sneered, the taller male was beginning to get on his nerves. “That’s your problem. Alcohol companies slap that on bottles to sell alcohol to bitch-ass men like you.”
Yang Zhen didn’t laugh at the snide comment, rather, he smiled and stared at Daojian as a command. Daojian stared at the bottle and gulped three times before setting it down and reaching for an ice cube. Yang Zhen looked satisfied and reached over to the cat tower once more, Sock remained timid but Lamp took careful steps towards Yang Zhen’s long fingers and lowered her head as she purred. Yang Zhen stood up to pet Lamp some more, then he walked over to the bed and picked up the two books that were strewn around the bedspread.
“I never liked you, especially in the beginning. Yuan Da let you in his office to read, it annoyed me. I don’t know why, you always seemed like the odd one out from the rest of us.”
“I only did that to look different.”
“It worked, you looked — I don’t know. Soft.” He flipped through pages as though he were reading while talking. “I hated reading, but I think even I could handle this shit.” 
Yang Zhen looked at Daojian as he closed and held up The History of Syphilis.
Daojian sipped his tea and looked away with a small smile. “It’s not what you think, and it’s not as bad as you think.”
“Jesus.” Yang Zhen laughed before picking up the second book. “How can you bury someone’s heart in a knee?”
“It’s about American expansionism and exploitation of Native Americans.”
“By who?”
Daojian took another sip of his tea. “The exploiter.”
Yang Zhen flipped through the book, stopping at the pictures and analyzing them. “So what’s this I hear of you killing the old man?”
The hairs on Daojian’s neck stood and chills ran down his spine, he couldn’t respond. Instead, he quietly took another gulp from his bottle — it somehow tasted sweeter this time even though Yang Zhen watched him. 
“Where’d you hear that?” Daojian asked, calmly. 
“I stopped by the animal crematorium.” Yang Zhen stood up and stretched, letting out a small groan and then walking back to his seat at the kitchen table. His knee hit Daojian’s, neither of them flinched. “I made them tell me, so don’t blame it on them.”
Everyone at the crematorium had something to lose, it made sense. All the same, Daojian felt incredibly annoyed — as though he expected everyone there to take everything to the grave. Most of the time, a single word uttered out of place meant you’d end up in someone’s crosshairs the next morning. 
“Don’t tell me you thought that you could save him.” Daojian didn’t want to back down. 
“No, of course not. I’m not a savior, I’m too busy for that.”
“I did what I was told.”
“As expected.”
It was unbearable how Yang Zhen got under his skin. As expected? The words made Daojian feel simultaneously insulted yet relieved. “Did you ever go back to see him?”
“Nope.”
“Then what’s the point? Did you think we’d all pat you on the back and say ‘Don’t worry, bud. It happens to the best of us’?”
“Nope.”
For someone that was going without alcohol for a year and a half, Yang Zhen was having no trouble downing his bottle of Jack Daniel’s throughout their 20 minute conversation. 
“You don’t question the ones giving the orders? You’ve never met one?”
“I’ve met one or two, but otherwise — no.”
“Don’t you wonder who’s deciding when you put the car into drive and when you put on your turn signal? When to turn left, when to turn right, when to shut up, when to fucking speak.”
“Since when did you become an assassin’s rights activist?”
“I’m not fucking around, Daodao.”
God, he hated it when Yang Zhen called him that.
“Neither am I, you’re the one being the romantic.”
“I could have killed him with one finger and for some reason, all I could do was leave him alive so I could find out exactly who was sitting at the desk, biting the end of their pen, and coming up with a plan for us to carry out.”
“It’s not your place to question that, ge.”
“We’re cowardly pricks. I’ve killed countless people, friends of mine, my protégé even — I bought him baby clothes for his kid’s first birthday party. This system we’ve been going by makes no sense, because nobody’s there for us to point our knives to. If what they’re saying is true about who’s got us all by the neck, we’ve been taking orders from a chair and you broke a nation’s hero because a chair told you to.”
Daojian wanted to tell him that he didn’t break the old man’s neck, but he swallowed the words back down with tea. “You shouldn’t shit yourself just because the toilet’s dirty.”
Yang Zhen sneered, he let out a scoff before shaking his head. “Jesus, you’re sounding like Yuan Da. That’s not good. Guys with tongues like you two are the ones who stab people in the back.”
“And you’re sounding like a fucking brat. You think that throwing a tantrum and trying to be philosophical is doing anything for you? You’re not changing anything, you’re running and hiding. You can’t save yourself, just like you couldn’t save the geezer.”
Yang Zhen unzipped the top of his jacket, revealing a leather gun holster under his arm that had been remodeled into a holster for his famous plethora of knives. He set a particular one on the table, hardly in a menacing way. In fact, he was calm and slightly clumsy thanks to the whiskey. 
“I could make you shiver in agony for hours. Your blood spitting and spewing and dripping and slowly leaking. Steel scraping bone until I feel like gutting you and hanging you by your thumbnails.” 
Daojian didn’t even dare to blink, knowing very well that Yang Zhen was describing his most successful and gruesome assignment. 
“You’re full of shit. Anyone who thinks he’s safe is full of shit.”
Henckels, Daojian noticed the brand name because of it’s bad reputation in their world. It was Yang Zhen that taught him that the blade was easy to keep sharp, straight from the whetstone kind of sharp. A sturdy brand whose blade didn’t rust and it could be bought anywhere, and it was certainly not going to chip like a typical assassin’s sushi knife.
“Daodao.”
Daojian looked up. Yang Zhen was angry. But he wasn’t venomous anymore thanks to the whiskey. How long had it been since Daojian stabbed someone? Probably three or four years. He wasn’t anywhere near his collection, so theoretically he was done for if Yang Zhen tried anything. So, in typical Daojian fashion, he lit a cigarette and handed it to the taller male then lit another for himself. 
They didn’t speak much. They drank and they shared the ashtray.
“I can’t believe you prefer that Johnnie Blue stuff over Jack Daniel’s.” Yang Zhen stood up, finishing the other half of the second bottle and placing a han don Daojian’s shoulder before going to the bathroom to throw it all up.
He stumbled out nearly twenty minutes later and fell onto the bed, his legs hanging off the end. Daojian continued to smoke as he read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. 
When Daojian woke up in the morning, Yang Zhen was gone. His big backpack and boots and the Jack Daniel’s were gone. The knife remained on the table, still pointing at Daojian’s chair.
A week later, Yang Zhen’s body arrived at LeLe’s Pet Crematorium.
LeLe called Daojian to help him at four in the morning on a Tuesday. Yang Zhen’s body was too big to fit in any of the pet refrigerators, so he had to get rid of all six feet and five inches of Yang Zhen as soon as possible. 
“I counted twenty-seven stab wounds.” LeLe said, shivering and looking solemn. He unzipped the bag and looked over the body. The most fatal were the pierced lung and the solar plexus. Whoever did this, took their time, dancing around the vital spots and playing with Yang Zhen like a mouse to a cat. Daojian noticed that his right elbow was broken, the bone peeking through the kin and his left hand was locked around another Henckels knife. He tried to remove the knife from Yang Zhen’s grip.
“I tried too.” LeLe shook his head. The rigor mortis had already set in. “It’s going to be a bitch to try to keep his long ass legs inside the exta large dog tray.”
