[Iggy smiles and squeezes Dick's fingers.]

I'm Ignatius Melville. I'm getting my masters in fine arts. I paint watercolour landscapes, and my favourite artist is Austin Osman Spare.

I'm a sex worker. I cam five days a week for two hours at least. I sugarbaby, sometimes, but I am pretty picky. I have a boyfriend who really doesn't seem super comfortable with my work, so I try not to talk about it. But it's a job I love, so that's a bit difficult sometimes.

I love the ocean. I love music. I drink. I do drugs. Sometimes I don't come home until the sun rises because I've been out all night dancing and partying. I love my life. I really do.

But sometimes I would get lonely. I got lucky and I met this pretty great guy, and he's socially awkward as fuck with me for some reason but that's okay because I'm socially awkward as fuck. But I'm not so sure he likes me for me. He says all the right things. His heart is huge. But he's very intense, and I feel like I'm always failing some weird boyfriend test he's administering. And I think... I dunno, maybe he sees me as some stray that needs rescuing, because he's really good at saving people.

I don't want saving.

[Iggy smiles, and it's as bright and natural as sunshine.]

Okay, see? See, we can do this.

I like it when you're not trying too hard, Dick. You don't have to try and guess what's going to make me happy, okay? You don't have to impress me. You can fuck up! Because I'm gonna fuck up. I'm gonna fuck up a lot!

[He leans in to kiss Dick, soft and quick, still smiling.]

I'm not sleeping with anyone, for the record.

[Iggy sets his coffee down so he can loop his arms around Dick's shoulders.]

Okay. That's cool, I just don't want you to think you've got to make everything perfect.

[He raises his eyebrows.]

You wanna tie me up? That might be something that can be arranged. But I'll level with you: I don't have a daddy kink like, at all.

[He leans in to nuzzle Dick's throat.]

Cuddling and walks sound really nice. Those are the things I don't get to do, you know? So, yeah. Lots of that, please, if we're gonna date.

I actually do like ropes! I think shibari is really sexy looking.

We can totally talk about kinks, Dick. I have like, very few hard lines. Marks are cool. I love dressing up just in general - wait until Halloween, I go nuts.

[Iggy grins and hugs Dick tight for a moment.]

Okay, cool. Come sit on my crappy couch with me, then. We'll drink our coffee and talk.
dead_tongue: (voila)

[personal profile] dead_tongue 2024-05-20 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! We can take a class, maybe, if we decide we really wanna learn.

[On the couch, Iggy settles against Dick comfortably. Iggy is six foot one but he doesn't mind curling up.]

What qualifies as 'not much'? I don't exactly have a normal baseline for that sort of thing, you know? Like are basics just... missionary position intercourse and giving head?

[Iggy manages not to laugh. He wants Dick to feel comfortable, and giggling just because the guy doesn't know things isn't a good way to accomplish that.

So he keeps his voice light.]


Dick, I'm officially a little worried you'll think I'm depraved if we swap stories. But I'm glad you're open minded.

[He runs his fingers through Dick's hair.]

You really are just a sweet guy.
dead_tongue: (plain faced)

[personal profile] dead_tongue 2024-05-22 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Honey...

[Iggy looks at Dick curiously.]

What do you want me to think about you? I call you sweet and you jump to tell me that you're cruel.

[personal profile] dead_tongue 2024-05-23 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Dick, sweetie... everyone has multiple sides.

[He turns his head to steal a quick kiss.]

I was teasing, a little. But I do worry sometimes that you'd judge me. Most people do.

And... well. I'm your first guy, right? I don't want to be overwhelming.

[He settled back with a sigh.]

I'm glad you told me how you feel.
dead_tongue: (plain faced)

[personal profile] dead_tongue 2024-05-25 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[Iggy lifts a hand to gently stroke Dick's hair as he rests against him.]

Yeah. Maybe I'm not giving you enough credit. I just meant like... I don't want to make you uncomfortable. That's all.

[He shifts to kiss the top of Dick's head.]

I'm glad you're opening up. Really.

I think I'm pretty open about most things. But if you're ever curious about something, you can ask me. I'll always answer.
dead_tongue: (plain faced)

[personal profile] dead_tongue 2024-06-01 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I'll tell you stuff, then, whenever it comes up.

[He leans against Dick, content.]

This is nice. Maybe we should just stay in instead. Order some food or whatever. Watch a movie.
dead_tongue: (voila)

[personal profile] dead_tongue 2024-06-08 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, did you want to? Okay!

[Perfectly perky.]

We can talk and cuddle at the same time, I don't mind.

So, okay. I've done like... most things? Which is why I worry about being overwhelming. Which is silly. For all I know you're super into like... choking or feet or something.
dead_tongue: (smiley)

[personal profile] dead_tongue 2024-06-08 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess it is. Sorry, I just wasn't sure if you wanted to keep talking about it or if we'd moved on, you know? I'm not very good with social cues. I blame being home schooled.

[Iggy snorts.]

If you were into feet, you'd know.

Yeah, yeah it can, but it's also super dangerous. You can like, crush someone's windpipe if you're not careful, or cut off air too long. And if you're alone, well.

[He turns to look at Dick more fully.]

That's how David Carradine died!

[personal profile] dead_tongue 2024-06-15 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe! Poor socialization.

[Iggy turns his head a little to consider Dick with wide eyes.] Oh yeah, I guess you would. That's so scary.

[He doesn't seem particularly scared, though.]

Heh, good. I think so. An embarrassing way to go. You just wind up standing there looking at yourself like, "fuck." That's probably what I'll be thinking when I die. Just "fuck, you stupid shit."
