Gem blinked in a wave from left to right. “Why not?”
Rusty gestured toward the bed frame. “He’s staring right at our bed.”
“Aw, are you shy?” Enfys teased.
“Oh my gods, he is kind of shy, and it’s totes adorbs,” Gem said.
Rusty growled a warning that no one heeded.
“Ha, Rusty’s too embarrassed to fuck Gem in front of the cow stuffie,”Jude said.
“Wait, do you really not to want to fuck me in front of Walter?” With a giggle, Gem rubbed the back of Rusty’s neck. “He would never judge us, you know?”
“Maybe this is a conversation you two should have when we’re not in the room?” Oliver suggested.
“Speak for yourself,” Tad said.
“I agree with Ollie,” Toni said.
“So, was it a no on pizza?” Bryce asked.
“If it means leaving before this conversation devolves into chaos, I volunteer myself to pick-up the food order,” Zef said.
Picking a piece of lint out of Zef’s hair without touching their skin, Bryce said, “Oh, I’ll go with you!”
Zef’s wings buzzed, their antennas trembling as they said, “Alright.”
“No, Gem,” Rusty said, fighting to keep his voice even. “As shocking as it seems, I don’t want to fuck you in front of the cow.”
“You know, you could put the cow on the bed,” Jude suggested unhelpfully. “Then you can fuck Gemwiththe cow.”
“Or on the cow,” Liel added.
“Or you could remove the stuffing and put the cow on like a suit,” Enfys said with an evil grin, “and fuck Gemasthe cow.”
“No!” Rusty cried in horror.
Gem laughed. “What? That would be ridiculous. I mean… well, that’s…” His expression turned contemplative, eyes glossy over like he was picturing it. “No, that’s just silly. It’s… it would be so…” He drifted off again, gaze darting to Rusty. “Well—”
“I amnotputting on that cow,” Rusty gritted out between clenched teeth.
“I always thought the Araknis was into some weird shit,” Tad said.
“Maybe we should leave for this conversation,” Glyma whispered to Quin.
“I don’t know how we haven’t gotten sued yet, if I’m being honest,” Quin said.
“You have strange friends,” Liel said, and Oliver nodded.
“I’m fully aware of that.”
“I am very uncomfortable with this whole situation,” Zef lamented.
“Agreed,” Cya said.
Willow worried her bottom lip. “It isn’t our place to shame Rusty and Gem for their sex life. They’re both consenting adults.”
“I’m not,” Rusty whined. “I’m not consenting.”
