[Iggy shrugs. Even if Dick does like a good dive bar, he still has waitstaff who are happy to fall all over themselves to please him. Money talks.

Iggy lifts his eyebrows at that last statement.]


...hope you're not expecting the same, because I've got eyes. Even if we're monogamous, baby, I'm looking at hotties.

dead_tongue: (shrug)
From: [personal profile] dead_tongue
No, we haven't.

[He grins.] Same! I like looking.

On a more serious note, we can talk about it if you want to. I admit to a little evasion on the subject. It's--

[He pauses. The ghost is staring at him.

Iggy clears his throat.]


I don't want it to become an argument or a "Iggy, it's up to you" deflection. You know? I want it to be like... an important conversation, sure, but not dire. And I'm in no rush to nail us down into anything. I really don't care if you fuck half this restaurant, baby.

[Iggy smiles brightly.]

Thanks. I don't know much about relationships, but I do know they need to be collaborative.

[At the question he shakes his head, gaze dropping for a moment.]

No. I'm fine.

[He's happy to focus on trying the oysters instead, looking about as pleased as can be.]

So you don't love the playboy lifestyle? That's funny, then, you hooking up with me.

dead_tongue: (oops)
From: [personal profile] dead_tongue
It's just extra funny since you're rich, you know? And I'm a gold digger.

[He's happy to be fed - Iggy isn't unused to being pampered. He enjoys it most of the time.]

Yeah, dunno! I wasn't even in girl clothes when we met!

[He bats his eyelashes.]

I'm just that pretty.

From: [personal profile] dead_tongue
Mm, don't say that, I'll let you pay my rent.

[Iggy is extremely angular. Even if he's in a dress or makeup, it's impossible to ignore the sharpness of his features. So he does remain a little baffled by Dick's attraction, considering that he seems to prefer women as a general rule.

He's not expecting the kiss, but he returns it warmly.]


Yeah? Even when I get old and suffer twink death?

dead_tongue: (smiiiile)
From: [personal profile] dead_tongue
Yeah, let's not get ahead of ourselves, right?

[Iggy sips his own wine, smiling. Being out with Dick is fun. The food is good, the wine is good, the view is beautiful.

He looks at Dick, and then cracks up laughing. Well, in his own peculiar way: silently, one hand pressed to his mouth.]


Oh my god. Dick. No, no, honey... oh my god, I keep forgetting you're so... not gay.

Twinks are like, youthful, skinny, pretty guys. 'Twink death' is when we get too old to be considered one anymore. It's mostly a joke.

But you're right: old people love to fuck, and they don't wrap it up.

From: [personal profile] dead_tongue
It's okay, Dick. I'm just teasing you.

I-- wait. 'If'? What do you mean if?

[Genuine concern. Iggy leans forward a little.]

Do you think you'll die young? Or are you secretly a vampire?
Date: 2024-05-04 05:23 pm (UTC)

dead_tongue: (pleased)
From: [personal profile] dead_tongue
I think it's cute. I'm just used to gay guys, that's all.

[Iggy grins back, but a moment later holds those hands. He squeezes them before he offers Dick a wry look.]

Dick. Sweetheart. I know more about death than pretty much anyone you're ever gonna meet. Yeah, life is short.

I'm less concerned about you dying than you not dying - that idea is what kinda freaked me out. With the shit you get up to I'm never sure if stuff like that is a possibility.

What do you mean it marked you? How? You seem normal to me.

Well. Relatively.

[Iggy listens, showing no sign of disbelief. He does, however, look horrified.]

That's unnatural. Places like that... I hope you destroyed it, I really do.

[Iggy drums his fingers on the table, frowning lightly.]

These people who made the pit... they didn't do a very good job, sounds like. I mean, bloodlust as a side effect is pretty fucking dumb, don't you think? You'd think over a few hundred years they'd have thought up a fix for that.

You know--

[Iggy pauses, eyes flicking over Dick's shoulder.

Crap. Dead guy. Right there.

So he just goes on:]


--you sure do talk about dark stuff a lot. Do you like horror movies, Dick?

dead_tongue: (bruh)
From: [personal profile] dead_tongue
I know I asked. It wasn't a judgement, sweetie, it's okay. You don't have to get defensive.

[Iggy starts turning his water glass this way and that, mostly to give him an excuse not to look up.]

Me? Oh, I like almost everything. I'm bad at mysteries though, I pretty much never figure out who did it. That sort of deduction isn't my forte.

[The ghost is still right there. He can feel it staring at him.

Iggy sighs and looks up.]


Will you excuse me a second? I just need to use the washroom.

[A quick smile that he hopes reassures, before he's hurrying away from the table and out of the restaurant, not towards the restrooms.

No, instead he tucks himself against the wall a little way from the entrance. He takes out his cellphone so he doesn't look like he's talking to himself as he begins a conversation with apparent empty air.]

[Iggy would argue that intent and what people hear as tone sometimes differ.

He also has no idea that Dick has figured out that, yeah, he was lying about the bathroom, so he spends much of his conversation with the dead guy concerned that Dick might think he's ditched.

He actually does use his phone eventually, to text Dick:]


something has come up.
Date: 2024-05-13 04:43 pm (UTC)

dead_tongue: (I mean I guess)
From: [personal profile] dead_tongue
yeeeeah don't wait for me, I gotta go. I'll text you later?

[Typed as he heads for the elevator. If he thought this through better he might not be so hasty, but Iggy isn't always that bright.]
