Hey there! This is Ren. Uh, the smaller one. Mini-Joker.
You can leave a message after the beep, I guess.
Or text me. Actually, please text me. Unless you're Raven.
Anyway. Do I make the beeping sound, or...? Uh. Beeeeeeeep.
[ Beep ].

"He will," Ren grumbles at Wormwood, who laughs in response.

"Only because you will," Wormwood reminds him.

Ren grumbles and mumbles and presses his palms flat to the ice, hefting himself up.

[fogboundcrow]

It's okay, Ren. Goro's right here, and he's offering his hand again. "Don't let him get to you. If he gives you a hard time, he'll have to deal with me."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"That's the worst part," Ren grumbles. "He doesn't push me too far."

"It's almost like I know your limits...and when you aren't being true to yourself."

Grunt. "Let's go sit down."

As he's walking off the ice, he catches Wormwood's gaze. Do it, he says. I dare you.

And...yeah. He turns to Goro. "It looks like I've lost the bet. My pride is so wounded...but the least you could do is...^{kiss it better}..."

His face is so, so red. Kill him now. Except don't, because. Kiss.

[fogboundcrow]

Oh. Oh, that's Ren flirting. Ren flirting and asking for a kiss.

His cheeks won't stop feeling so warm. His heart's fluttering like it's been infested with a swarm of butterflies, but. Sitting. Sitting side by side. He places a hand over Ren's and, um. Another on Ren's cheek? This seems reasonable.

So... "As you wish." Lips? Meeting. Right now.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Yes!!! Ren grabs Goro and kisses back, one hand in Goro's hair and the other around his back.

[fogboundcrow]

Goro leans into the touch, savoring the kiss. He's... not quite sure what else to do here, but that's okay. They're still learning.

His verdict: Kissing good.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Ren would agree. Kissing good. He moves his lips against Goro's, since that feels good...

[fogboundcrow]

Okay. This is fine. He'll... do the same?

Shiro watches this all with a wistful sigh. "I'm glad they've figured it out."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Isn't it lovely?" Wormwood giggles and dips Shiro. "I couldn't have done it without you, my dear." He pecks kisses along Shiro's jaw. "My lovely."

Oh, yeah, that feels good. Ren's hand clutches into Goro's side...mmmmph.

[fogboundcrow]

Shiro wraps his arms around Wormwood, savoring all the kisses. "My demon of the night..."

There are probably other things they could do, but Raven is content with this. They're not like Crow and Joker, anyway. They're younger. They've got time to figure themselves out.

He's just gonna bask in these happy feelings 'til they have to breathe again.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Ren lets out a noise when Goro breaks from the kiss. Kiss...he pouts.

[fogboundcrow]

"Just needed to breathe." Here, have another kiss, Ren. It's okay.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Ren perks up. Kiss! He likes kiss.

[fogboundcrow]

Raven also quite enjoys kiss. That's why he isn't moving.

Shiro covers his mouth to muffle a giggle. "Well, they're certainly having fun."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"They are. Young love..." Wormwood nuzzles into Shiro's chin, rubbing his nubby horns into him.

Ren, likewise, presses his forehead into Goro's. He doesn't move to kiss again, but he's there.

[fogboundcrow]

The nubby horns are more than welcome. They're so uniquely Wormwood, that Hiro even offers them a gentle stroke.

As for Goro, he presses his forehead back, laughing breathlessly. "Do you want to give skating another try? We could always do something else instead, if you prefer."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

Wormwood shivers-- oh, those pets-- warmth spreads down his--

Suddenly, he jerks his head back, taking his nubby horns out of range of Shiro's soul-melting touches. "I appreciate it, but uh." His lithe not-quite-wings tremble. "We should save that for the bedroom. I think..."

Ren's eyes, likewise, are about as big as dinner plates with red-flushed cheeks to match. "Mgh..."

[fogboundcrow]

Shiro squeaks out a gasp, face redder than a tomato. "I-isn't it a bit soon for—"

Goro coughs and sputters. "Erm. So, anyway! Next activity? It can be more skating, or we can do something equally exciting. The sky's the limit!"

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"I just wanted to let you know!" Wormwood yelps, all composure wiped off the face of the earth. "It definitely is too soon, I just-- I didn't know and you feel-- too good when you do that--"

"Let's." Ren squeezes Goro's hand. "Get on the ice and cool down."

[fogboundcrow]

"W-Well, I'm glad it felt good, at least! Though, obviously, lesson learned. We can save it for when we're older and wiser!"

Goro gives Ren's hand a little squeeze before slooowly rising back to his feet. "Yes. That sounds like an excellent idea."

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Older and. Wiser. Yes..." Wormwood rubs his horns, trying to get the remnants of Shiro's touch off them. It's proving difficult.

Ren, meanwhile, stands up, stutters over to the ice, steps onto the rink, and willingly sinks down to the floor, putting his face and body directly on the ice.

[fogboundcrow]

Oh. That's... not quite what Goro anticipated. When he joins Ren on the rink, he crouches beside Ren.

"Need a moment?"

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"Cooling off," Ren says, muffled by the ice.

[fogboundcrow]

"Would you prefer to the snow?" They could always throw snowballs, build a snowman... Any number of options, really.

Though something tells him that Ren is in no hurry to move.

[mountainfoggedlotus]

"We put these whole outfits on and everything..." Ren grumbles.
