[Well, that all makes sense. And it's quite reasonable. Joseph isn't quite sure how he feels about being the alleged wild card here, but again, it's not like he doesn't get why someone would get that impression from him.]
No, I'm not upset, or offended. I think...
[He drifts off for a moment.]
I know you're asking me, so you didn't completely hate the idea. But is it actually something you'd want?
Yeah, I know you. And I don't need to tell you that I've never had any kind of experience like that.
[It's not judgmental or accusatory, just matter-of-fact. They've known each other long enough for that kind of thing to be old news. Sebastian's the jealous type, and Joseph doesn't get out much.]
The most important thing would be that everyone is comfortable, if we ever did decide to try.
Obviously, if we did, we'd have to go in agreeing that any one of us can put a stop to it at any time. That's- that's how things like that are supposed to go, as I understand it.
[Kinky sex 101 with Joseph. Today, on conversations he literally never thought he'd have...]
It's not like we have to decide right away. We can think about it for a while.
Well. I mean. I'm speaking in hypotheticals, right now. But I guess I can't say the idea isn't kind of appealing. You're, uh- supposed to try new things sometimes, right?
[Good thing Sebastian can't see his face right now. He'd never live it down.]
I'm still kind of in shock she wanted you to ask me.
[... ah. That's probably a sign that maybe the threesome isn't a good idea. Just the way Joseph says "me and her" makes Sebastian bristle, though he tries to keep it out of his voice.]
I never said I didn't. I just thought it was funny, that's all.
[Sebastian is usually pretty on-target with this kind of thing. It's a much nicer explanation than "Joseph is a prude" anyway, since that's what he was assuming.]
I think you're right. She seemed worried I would think less of her before, too.
[He takes a little breath, a little more at ease.]
Tell you what. Why don't we let the idea sink in a little bit before we get too far ahead of ourselves?
[He's obviously smiling as he adds the next bit.]
This isn't one of our typical cases, after all. It's much more unpredictable.

It isn't something I have a lot of experience with. You know how I am.
[Jealous, possessive, petty, sensitive, paranoid, slightly insecure. Come on, Joseph, this isn't news to you.]

[Hey, he's just being honest. It's impossible to predict how he'll deal with this once he's actually faced with it.]

[Not a judgement on his end, though. Just calling 'em like he sees 'em.]

It's part of the reason why I was so surprised when I found out that you two had fucked. Doesn't really sound like your M.O.
[You know, other than the fact that both of you had kept it from him for months and months. :E]
no subject
Well... uh. I-
[He has no idea what he was going to add to that.]
Anyway.
no subject
[That's right, Joseph. Squirm. Squirm beneath the reality of your own choking fetish.]
no subject
[He goes silent.]
Jesus, are we really having this conversation?
no subject
You're going to get shy on me now?
no subject
Though if you must know, I know I can be rougher with you. Besides, I'm sure you like it.
no subject
I never said I didn't. I just thought it was funny, that's all.
no subject
I don't know why I'm still so stiff about this kind of thing. Given where we are, and all.
I guess I can see why Clara would be afraid of my reaction, anyway.

[At least... that's his interpretation of it. He could be totally off base, but that was the impression he got.]

I'll be home soon. You can endear me to the idea then.
[with your hand on his dick and your tongue down his throat, Joseph. Just a suggestion.]
no subject
[Boy, he wonders if this kind of conversation should feel a little weirder than it does. It's basically normal anymore.]
See you in a bit, Seb.
[Have your pants unbuttoned in advance!]
