[ Och no, look at Gorgug.. Overwhelmed by the thought of the power of the corn..
At least Fabian knows a fix to that. As much as he loves absorbing compliments from Gorgug, it's not like he can't do the same in return. He shifts a little bit, just enough so he can wriggle himself in a position where he can plant a kiss on Gorgug's cheek before adding: ]
You're stronger.
[ Gorgug could easily squish a corn cutie by now. Fabian has faith in you, bro!!!! ]
[ Gorgug lifts his gaze back onto Fabian when he pecks his cheek, listening as he comments on his strength. There's a second, but he nods, some confidence returning! ]
I could tear them in half. [ Not just tear them-- ] I could shove my entire fist up their corn holes and pull out their corn parts.
[ It would sound so much edgier or darker...if not coming from the equivalent of a shaking chihuahua trying to prove how big and strong it is (in the body of a st bernard). Tell him he's right, Fabian!! ]
[ Considering this is the exact sort of thing Fabian has heard his beloved papa say all the time ever since he was a toddler who could first understand speech, he doesn't do as much as blink in the face of the shaking chihuahua-spirited Great Dane right here with him.
It's about Gorgug's confidence here, after all. Who cares about the details. He has to get Gorgug confident enough that he can be a regular chihuahua instead of a shaking one. ]
Exactly! Do you think those things could even touch you anymore if they ever appeared again? They would flee in fear of you!
[ That's what you are, Gorgug!! You're tough! You're scary to corn cuties!!! ]
He tugs an arm around Fabian's waist, snuggling him closer without squeezing him close. ]
Let's talk about something fun we can do now that we're back. [ ... ] Something better than corn shrimps.
[ Maybe he will never stop having complicated feelings about animated corn, no matter his or anyone else's best attempts. But you know what? He put in the effort! And being scary to a bunch of corn sounds about as cool as being killed by said animated corn...
They definitely need another subject. A nicer subject before they sleep, so Gorgug doesn't dream about starch. ]
Maybe he needs to turn his brain into another direction all of a sudden, and he needs a second to do so. Maybe he needs to think of what to bring up here.
Or maybe - it's this one, actually - he's just being devious. It's all over his tone when he speaks up. ]
What, do you want something nice to dream of?
[ At least it doesn't sound fully sexy. It more just sounds like general light teasing. ]
Yeah. [ Devious as Fabian might be, Gorgug answers honestly, whether this is a good thing or not. ] A nice dream would be-- nice. Or, we're all together now. You, me, Riz-- but we could do date things. Dating things?
[ Those are nice things. And what's also nice, despite the earlier threat of corn cuties, is being cuddled up with Fabian right now. Looking at him, being close. Fabian has a lot of opinions on everything, and this is a time where he wants to know what Fabian thinks.
What might come with that cheeky, fun look he's giving him. ]
It's kind of hard to think of date thing right after Gorgug mentions Riz too - since it's not like he wants to leave the other out. But it's not like Fabian can't think of more general things here. ]
Maybe we will have a mission one day where we can have a ship. [ Instead of a stupid TRAIN!!! Who even likes trains? Who would pick to transport themselves by train when you can get on a ship, which is COOLER? ]
And not one we have to share with all the others here. Our own ship. We could go sailing with the three of us, even if it means ignoring everything else that would be going on. That sounds like it would be fun, right? [ Captain Fabian and DA GREEN BOYZ!!! ]
[ Wow, a...ship. In the future. Which Gorgug thinks about, and it's not that the idea of being on a mission together on a ship isn't fun, but what about the now? Or the now that is tomorrow? ]
Do you want to get a boat now and ride it on the big lake...?
[ There's a little bit more sulk in that compared to his relative excitement from a moment ago, but it's not enough to sour the energy here entirely. He's still trying to provide Gorgug with nice thoughts, after all. He hasn't forgotten that mission. ]
Even if it is a big lake, it's still a lake. To have some true seafaring adventures, you need to be out at sea. [ .. a slight pause, and then Fabian exhales a little tiredly into the darkness. ] You will understand once you experience it, Gorgug. It's great. I promise.
[ Of course it's different. Gorgug knows that, and while it's then an activity they can't find a way to do any time soon themselves, he can appreciate what Fabian is sharing with him. A dream, a desire of his own. It's nice enough, he thinks, to talk about before sleep. Better than thinking about corn cuties. ]
Can we sit on the deck at night and look at the stars?
[ He's not that much of a star person, but if they're talking about ships, and adventures... well, they still need something intimate for them, right? ] We can listen to tunes, [ he adds, since--it's still them, which means it's still Gorgug.
Of course. [ Granted, the main reason Fabian is agreeing so easily is that he has a hard time denying Gorgug anything.
... A hard time doing that as long as they are being sweet together like this, anyway. In other contexts this might have had the potential to get very dumb and very teenage boy-y, but in this moment? Fabian is definitely willing to give Gorgug a whole lot to make sure he has something nice to think about.
They all need nice stuff to think about in this dumb, crappy place. ]
It's like being a pirate. You can do what you want, you know? [ That's how it works, Gorgug! Welcome to the pirate life, especially if you've got the privilege of being in a relationship with the captain! ] If you want to see the stars and listen to music, you just go ahead and do that. It's that easy.
[ A pirate life. He gets to be pirate-adjacent like Fabian, since he's dating him. Honestly, Gorgug just likes the thought of stars and music, something so dream-like, with his mind tired, and his limbs already tangled with Fabian's. ]
You can be the captain, and I'll be the skipper again. [ There was a time they did this before, even if it might not count in Fabian's mind. ] The Hangman can be your parrot. Your animal-like, sea companion.
[ Because that's so important, despite Bill seemingly lacking a parrot. Or any animal.
