It just feels important.
As such, he wants to say he's prepared for all this-- though the young man can't stop himself from startling just slightly when Dodger teleports right into the room in a flash of fire. A different style of teleporting compared to Kurt, more flames and less of that 'smoke,' not to mention that it's been a while since he's been around a teleporter. Though with that initial surprise fading, it's also a reminder that once again, he isn't alone anymore.
Dodger is a mutant like him... so he raises one hand in greeting, Scott dressed in a plain white t-shirt and blue training pants.]
Not too long. [A small tilt of his head, a small smile appearing briefly.] Though it feels kind of sad I had to wait at all given that you can teleport to places.
[A teleporter being late to stuff seems funny.]
no subject
I can teleport ten feet. And it's hard to do too many times at once.
[He hasn't met any other teleporters himself, but he imagines it's probably more useful as a primary mutation. Having a grab-bag of powers also means that none of them are as effective as they could be on their own, but at least he's had years and years to learn how to work around them.
He takes a moment to stretch and crack his knuckles.]
So. Should we spar and get our blood pumping first, or should I stay still and let you hit me?
[He mostly asks because he's aware he was coming on strong over the network, and Scott's comfort seems important. Entirely for selfish reasons, because he doesn't want to burn a bridge to the only other mutant around, but, still.]
no subject
[So blunt??? Even if it sounds like Scott is mostly just making a neutral observation to himself, he still said it out loud for the lord to hear. Is it better or worse that he doesn't seem to notice, with the teen just continuing onward with their planned training session without missing any real beat.
And hmm, both options sound pretty tempting. Does he want to try sparring with Dodger at least a little bit? See what the older man can do with all his controlled mutant powers and being older and probably more experienced? He mentioned being a bodyguard and stuff... so Scott is sure that he is no pushover.
But he also wants to kind of test what his visor can do first. Get that out of the way, especially if his new modes suddenly switch in the middle of practice.]
Spar another day or later, if that's okay? I... I really want to see what my visor can do and understand it right away. [He doesn't seem to show much of the exasperation or any discomfort from their conversation over the network at least.]
This is the first time in a year I can even adjust the output of my blasts.
no subject
[He honestly doesn't mind the bluntness - he's fairly blunt himself, and he likes being around people that speak their mind. Easier to gather information about them, and easier to trust what they say if they're not used to filtering themselves.]
Sure. Better to know what you're working with before anything else.
[A bit more stretching before Dodger feels ready, and he beckons for Scott to hit him with whatever he's got.]
Don't worry about keeping the blasts short. If it hurts, I'll just teleport out of it.
[Will he.... he doesn't even know how much damage this will do to him, but he assumes he'll be able to handle it.]
no subject
[Huh... so does this mean that because Dodger has multiple mutant powers, each power is kind of limited in its own way? Guess it makes sense. Not that it makes him think any less of Dodger, but good to know. Scott thinks it's still impressive that he can control different abilities at all.]
But okay, if you say so.
[He dials the output of his visor to something minimal, something he knows that would be equivalent to a solid punch or whatnot. He's sure that Dodger can handle that much with how beefy he is-- and right, teleporting out of the way. But with another nod, Scott reaches over to the button on his visor, before expelling a low-powdered optic blast straight at the older man.
It's fast, bright red and continuous, almost humming with power even like this.]
no subject
He tenses when he sees that blast coming, but it's honestly a little underwhelming. It hurts, yes, and he does end up staggering and teleporting out of the way a second later, but he probably could have handled it for a while longer if he really wanted to.]
Alright. That didn't feel great.
[He looks no worse for wear, although he is rubbing his chest uncomfortably.]
So that setting's working the way you expected, yeah?
no subject
He actually smiles, something light entering his voice.]
Gonna have a bruise later, right? You'll be fine.
[But he nods to his question, and he doesn't bother to hide how pleased he actually is about all this.] It worked just the way I expected-- it's predictable.
[As in, he's finally in control again. Sort of. Still got those other modes to test out.] I can finally start training like I should.
no subject
Privately, he makes a note to himself that he still needs to train his fire powers to be properly under control, before he burns someone during sex who can't actually handle it.]
Predictable's good. So is not blasting through my chest.
[He stretches again - yeah, this is definitely going to bruise, but that's just fine. He hasn't taken enough damage since coming here, he's starting to miss the super-powered street fights back home.]
Alright, let's test that new button out.
no subject
But he won't get anywhere if he doesn't try it somehow and oddly enough, he feels okay training with Dodger more than some of his friends. Older, a mutant, maybe a couple other things.
But with a nod, Scott hits the button that changes the mode, switching to a white-red tint and--
Dodger is fully naked in front of him with all those muscles and scars and tattoos and]
Holy shit!
[He instantly pushes the button again to a different mode, this time more green-red and yeah, okay, his faced is slightly flushed because that was not something he was expecting. It's like getting flashed by someone, but the other person didn't even do anything.]
no subject
You alright?
[It takes him a moment, but... given that horny effects are on the table and that Scott reacted like that... is he seeing through Dodger's clothes? Well. Better to wait for confirmation, but there's zero shame on Dodger's end. His body's the best part of him, and there's no point in having all of this muscle if no one's looking at it.]
no subject
Y-yeah.
[His voice is just a little higher pitched, not quite normal and nearly matching the way his face is still a bit flushed. Scott would later claim that it was just the shock of it all that's made him react this way, even though it wouldn't be entirely true. Unintentionally getting a glimpse of another guy that seems so beefy and strong... yeah it's hot.
But uh. Not the point.
They're focusing on important stuff, like his powers. This is all for him and Dodger is being really patient with him. He needs to get it together!! No he isn't going to just take advantage of the situation.]
I'll tell you about it later. Ready for the next blast?
[Once Dodger gives his go ahead though, Scott will shoot his next blast at him, still mostly red, but when it hits the other mutant this time... he will barely feel the impact other than his shirt getting blown almost in two-- with a large hole forming from the blast.]
no subject
....Huh.
[He hesitates briefly, before just... ripping the shirt the rest of the way and tossing it aside. Now Scott gets to see all those muscles and tattoos in person. And because he simply can't help it, Dodger shifts his posture a little, flexing subtly and calling attention to that super-human musculature.]
You should probably ask next time before using that one. But now we know - and you got a nice view out of it, too.
no subject
Uh, it's because he's surprised, really. The surprise is still going through him, his mouth parted with no words yet leaving him, especially as the asshole starts to actually flex and--]
I-I didn't know that was going to happen! [Defensive, already. With that flush returning to his cheeks.] And you don't look all that upset by your shirt getting ruined!
[In fact he's calling attention to it! Scott folds his arms across his chest, mostly so he doesn't end up blasting Dodger again with another attack after all this. Keeping them close like this feels better.] ...I am sorry about your shirt though.
[Sort of sorry--]
no subject
It's a white tee, I can get another one. Trust me, if you broke something important I'd let you know.
[Whenever he gets his necklace back, he's going to have to take it off during these sparring sessions... just in case.]
But if you want to make it up to me, we can always go somewhere private after this. Earn a payout so I can get a new shirt, and all that.
[Really, everyone should be proud of him for waiting this long before propositioning Scott again.]
no subject
So, a small nod, and--]
W-what?
[His mouth drops as that suggestion rises in the air between them and is he mishearing things?? Looking too much into it?? Okay yeah he's in a sex casino and maybe he shouldn't be surprised at all about people propositioning him, but uh, he can't help but be shocked still!! It's not like he has sex super often and they're usually with his friends and--]
I mean I could just buy you a shirt-- you don't have to sleep with me.
[He says, while staring at his muscles. The fully reasonable thing would be to just buy him some extra shirts, but. Only other mutant here. And it would be kind of nice to be close to him-- a subtle nudge from his suit that it's also okay to be just a little reckless.]
cw: dodger's opinions about age gaps
Sure, I don't have to do anything. But it doesn't hurt to ask, right?
[He's partly just after Scott's card, although the ongoing argument with Bakugo is making him more hesitant to just say that. Four of Clubs... it matches with Toma, Viktor and Arthur's cards, one step closer to a Straight Flush. Most of the way toward getting Esikko upgraded out of the basement.
That isn't the whole reason, though. Scott's cute, he's a fellow mutant, he seems simultaneously valuable to keep around and fun to talk to. Dodger always struggles to see people as people rather than resources, but he's zeroing in on something approximating platonic care for the kid and that just happens to also include sexual attraction in his mind.]
Anyway, how many chances are you gonna get to get fucked by another mutant?
no subject
[Uncertainty flashes across Scott's face, most likely displaying just how unfamiliar he is with all this despite being here for a year. Yeah behind all that teenage confidence he often displays, there's definitely some things that can easily push past that and bring up that more anxious side of him that doesn't know what to really do in these kind of situations. It's not like he hasn't slept with older guys before, but this is definitely the fastest he's been... hit on.
But it's not like he dislikes it either, far from it. He's always kind of liked muscular guys a lot?? Appreciating the strength that's visibly there. And there's also that one mutant thing that's made him feel a little more attached to Dodger-- a trait that no one else really has.
Plus, he's been enjoying his company so far. Back at the camp and even right now.
Though that second question gets him to huff, trying to bury all of those different feelings with a flippant sort of attitude.]
I do attend a mutant school back home. [So, sex will probably happen at some point!! Although... he wouldn't want to really rush into anything, especially if Jean is there, and.] Even if it's been a year.
[And that admittance brings up other feelings and words slip out from him because ever since arriving here, it's been difficult to keep certain thoughts to himself. It's a suit thing.] You know that, right? I was like the only mutant here until you came around.
no subject
[Not like Dodger wants to go home. The resort feels like a genuine vacation from his god-awful job, even if he deeply misses his boss and mildly misses his boyfriend. And more than that... he can just use his powers here without having to glance around for cops, and no one cares that much about his scars. And he can't imagine Scott would really want to go back either - not with an uncontrolled power that's dangerous enough to land him in a power suppression collar once he's out of school.]
There's other people that are basically mutants. But I get the sentiment. No one else... gets it.
[He still doesn't entirely understand why Bakugo had an issue with being called a mutant. Because it's not just value-neutral in Dodger's mind, it's a desirable trait. Humans are boring and weak.
He pauses.]
We don't have to, if you're nervous. It's pretty easy to find me if you change your mind.
[Dodger's voice tends to have a resting sarcastic tone to it, but he is trying to come off as genuine. Patient, even if he's clearly not a patient person.]
no subject
[Scott agrees, affirms almost quietly. Bakugo is certainly the closest, and there's still some things there that he can really only relate to with him. Being a young teenage 'superhero' and being born with powers, except in his world, most people have 'quirks' and it's just a whole different dynamic. Still, his presence has helped in making things a lot less lonely.
But Dodger is actually from his world. Maybe not the exact time period??? But he's a mutant like him and understands the whole human and mutant dynamic. It really is important. As much as he's fit in with non-mutants in this place and befriended others.]
But I didn't say I don't want to. [How does he get these stupid words out from his throat? There's a mess of feelings in him and he hates that too, it would be much easier if he could just compartmentalize shit and address things one by one but it's hard right now. Actually, wouldn't it just be easier if he just went along with this and they started fucking? Probably.]
I've just.
[Scott grimaces, face turning slightly away and he looks embarrassed.] Been glad that you're here.
no subject
There's a pause, while he thinks of exactly what to say. It's slowly clicking that he has a lot of responsibility here, much more than he's used to, and that maybe he shouldn't be fucking around as much as he is. But this is going to get complicated anyway if Scott ever finds out too much about who Dodger is back home, he may as well enjoy it while it lasts.]
Here. Look at me.
[He moves forward, and reaches out to cup Scott's cheek with a hold that's gentle, but clearly holding back a lot of super-strength. Guiding his face up, so Dodger can press a short kiss to his lips.]
How's that feel?
[May as well start there, and back off if it feels too weird.]
no subject
And then a kiss that honestly doesn't last long enough.
But instead of being blunt and sarcastic and everything that Scott normally falls to, he starts responding in a way that is just quiet. Honest.]
...Felt nice. [...] Maybe do it again so I can give you a better answer.
[Okay, some sass, as a treat.
It's honestly been so weird, being a mutant here when he only just awakened his powers a few months ago back home. He's spent half of his whole 'mutant life' in this casino now, maybe even just a little longer, and not being around others of his own kind. It doesn't hit him always, but sometimes it lingers in him, especially when he sees all of his friends with similar powers hang out. And becoming a mutant doesn't mean he's changed completely from the past, but... it's definitely a new identity as well and.
It's just hard. And dumb. He's mentioned that before, right? Dumb feelings. Making sure he adds that as a reminder.]
no subject
Sure. Take all the time you need.
[He figures they can worry about the complicating factors, whatever feelings are nipping at Scott's heels, at some point later. And he does want to hear about it, he wants to learn everything he can about this kid. But right now his focus is on kissing Scott again, soft and chaste at first but slowly testing boundaries. Running his tongue against the younger man's lips and slipping it in if he's allowed, spreading the taste of cigarettes and cinnamon whiskey and the faint undertone of gasoline.
He'll pull back as soon as Scott wants him to, even if it will be a little reluctant. But until then, he's just seeing how far he can take this.]
no subject
And once he does, he'll immediately press and slide his own against his, tasting and familiarizing himself with Dodger's own personal uniqueness. Each kiss is different, at least that's what Scott tells himself, but Dodger is easily discernable through that lingering hint of cigarettes and liquor. A contrast to the way Scott probably tastes clean-- well, today he is. No pizza just before this.
He raises his hands to his bare shoulders, gripping. It's clear that Scott doesn't want to pull away yet.]
no subject
He's content with this for a while, before he breaks the kiss himself. His breath is a little heavier than before, and his voice comes out low and wanting.]
I want to pin you against the wall. Teleporting is going to hurt you. That alright with you?
[It is, by far, the kindest Dodger has been to anyone about his teleportation since coming here. Normally he'll give a vague warning, or none at all, before teleporting whether people want him to or not. But he's been slowly getting more conscious of how many people hate getting teleported, and he'd rather not spring it on Scott in particular.]
no subject
Fingers curl tighter on his shoulders and there's no denying the spark of heat in his gaze, even seen through his glasses. Okay, guess his brain has partly switched from overthinking to just being a little more horny and that's fine. Yeah. Sometimes you can't help but melt a little when a muscular handsome guy wants you like this.]
Y-yeah, that's fine. Used to teleporting with others.
[Well, maybe a year ago or so with Kurt. He knows that Dodger's teleport ability is different from his friend's, but he's at least used to the feeling of being in one place and suddenly being in another. That whole shift of atmosphere changing is something he's been through before, not to mention he has a friend here that can teleport as well.
But a small voice reminds Scott that this is the first mutant he's going to be with and it's just kind of special in that way.]
