Where Ivan truly achieves his life goals

"I am," he says with a slight shrug and he settles firmly against Ivan. "I went on a date with a man that had asked for my commnumber a week ago. The only time that worked for the both of us was this morning."

And with how his sessions had been going, he thought it'd be better to have his date before he met up his LSPT again.

[whatdidisay]

That's definitely news Ivan wasn't expecting, but it's nothing but good news. He grins happily for the other man, even if he can't see it. "That's great news, David," he says encouragingly. "I assume it went well?" It must have gone, with those glasses. Every good Betan appreciates the novel, and a Komarran wandering around in glasses is just asking for Betan interest.

[komarran]

Part of him had been unsure how Ivan would take this date of his. Why, David can't pinpoint, but it's relieve that floods him when it's clear he's done well in Ivan's eyes. Good.

"Yes, very. We talked and walked around one of the museums nearby." He rests his head atop Ivan's shoulder trying very hard not to think about how good his LSP smells. "I took your advice and wore my glasses to it. They were appreciated."

[whatdidisay]

"I knew they would be." Ivan certainly appreciates them, and hopes that he'll get more chances to in the future-- or at least see David in them. That's fine, isn't it? Yes. Absolutely. If he came in every day wearing them Ivan't won't complain. In fact he might stare. Or, well, stare more.

Resting his head on David's, Ivan hums, contemplating. "Are you going out on another date with him?"

[komarran]

David nods. "I was considering it, if he was interested. We didn't have time to settle on a second one, but I promised to call him this evening."

Casual conversation that had nothing to do with academics was a new thing entirely for David, but he's slowly getting the hang of it. The man he had gone out with hadn't seemed to mind and at least pretended he was interested in Komarran history and government when it came up.

[whatdidisay]

"Good, I'm glad. I hope it goes well for you." Ivan reassures him, as if holding him close wasn't enough of it. Although-- "Is there anything you're concerned about, with regards to it? I can do my best to answer any questions you might have about that, too."

Just in case. Kissing the other man should be no problem, but if David wanted sex, well. They might have to rearrange their time table, if the other man is agreeable to it.

[komarran]

"The same concerns I had before," he admits. "But I think he understands why I'm seeing a LSPT and hesitant to do anything physical with someone I've only just met."

At least, he hopes he got that across to the man. His earrings had seemed plain enough, a good warning label for anyone who expressed interest that he was very much new at this part of his life despite his age.

[whatdidisay]

So he’d gone and found himself a proper Betan who didn’t mind waiting. Good. Ivan supposes David is a novelty that way, too. Most galactics are eager to shed the restraints of wherever they come from for a week or two. Those that need a little coaxing are different, true, but David Galen is in a class all to himself.

And those glasses.

Ivan is not someone David just met, and it’s only with the success of his future endeavors in mind and absolutely no second agenda that Ivan asks, in all seriousness: “Would you like to address some of those concerns today?”

[komarran]

"Ah--" He hesitates a moment as glances from Ivan to the wall in front of him. That's a damn good question. Does he? There's no time like the present and if there's one thing the man has drilled into his head, it's that he can stop anything that makes him uncomfortable with a single word.

It's after a moment of consideration that he finally replies, firmly, "I'd like to try."

[whatdidisay]

Progress. Ivan doesn't move from their spot, instead still holding David against his side as he considers how to move forward with this. "Did you happen to pick up something from our store? I've got toys here that we can use, but I remember you expressed interest in buying one of your own."

If not, they can just order it and have it brought up.

[komarran]

"I did, but I didn't think to bring it with me," he says, a touch apologetic. Nor would it have been something he'd want to carry on his person while on his date. "It was a simple vibrator, I made sure to pick something small." The damn thing was still sitting in its original packaging.

[whatdidisay]

Hmm. Ivan can work with that. "Well, if you haven't used it, we can order a similar one now and then you can bring it back if it's still in its packaging and exchange it." That's agreeable, right? And it means he doesn't have to make the other man uncomfortable by using something he didn't want.

[komarran]

When he came to this session, he didn't think they'd be jumping right into... Whatever this will lead into. Not that he's opposed, David thinks as he glances at Ivan.

"If that would be possible. Do you have access to the store from here? I can show you which one." Since he'll if he knows names or model numbers.

[whatdidisay]

Nodding, Ivan holds up his wristcom for the other man -- he's unwilling to let him go far from this hold, oddly enough. Calling up the store is easy with a press or two of buttons, and he holds his wrist out. "There you are."

Look, David, he's trying to make this as painless as possible. Although he doubts he could convince the man to keep his glasses on during it.

[komarran]

There's something about staring at the list of sex toy options and sexual enhancements this place has to offer on the wrist of his LSPT that causes his cheeks to flush. Why did he have to be so easily embarrassed by this, dammit. He lets out a light huff of frustration at himself as he finds the same toy he bought before and selects it to order.

"That's the one," he murmurs. "I don't know if we need anything else."

[whatdidisay]

Ivan quickly places the order for delivery, and then resettles his arms around the other man, keeping him close against his chest. The temptation to say something about his blush is more powerful than Ivan though but he says nothing, instead smiling encouragingly at him. "I've got everything else." Lube, really, and the desire to see this through.

Which is what David has in spades, Ivan's sure. "We can wait here until it arrives," Ivan offers, "or you can go back and get ready." Not that he knows what the other man needs to do to get ready, but if it would help him relax---

[komarran]

This is nice. David had been concerned with how he'd be able to work himself up enough to be adventurous and break out the toy himself. Having Ivan here to help him feels like cheating, but that's what the other man is for, helping to broaden his sexual horizons as it were. He's grateful for the hold and remains comfortably against the taller man.

"Ah, get ready? How?" he asks as he glances up at Ivan.

[whatdidisay]

"Strip. Lie down. Attempt to relax," offers Ivan, hand smoothing down David's arm encouragingly. "Unless you want it all to happen in one go, which is fine. Whatever you want."

And he means it.

[komarran]

"I'm not sure which would be easier for me," he admits with a light frown. "I am relaxed right now." With Ivan holding him like this.

[whatdidisay]

"Well," Ivan considers David's peferences and smiles, tightening around the man before settling in on an option. "Why don't we wait for it to get delivered, and then I could strip you instead. Would that be more comfortable?"

[komarran]

"It is something I should grow accustomed to." Even if it makes his cheeks turn a shade more red. The image of his LSPT undressing him with the same care he handled all aspects of their relationship was a pleasant one. Would his date even compare if they got that far?

[whatdidisay]

Ivan nods, and settles back into his seat, still with his arms around David. "We'll do that then," he says, one ear trained on his door for a knock or some other sign that it had been delivered to his office. "Do you have any questions for me about this?" He knows the other man has to have some, and he is there to answer and support him through all of this.

[komarran]

"Is it uncomfortable?" he asks, resting firmly against Ivan. If they're not moving, then David isn't ruining this first. "I was worried it would be. I've never..." He shrugs helplessly. He's only be with women and never involved any extra toys.

[whatdidisay]

"At first." Ivan sees no reason to lie, not to a patient and not about this. "But women and hermaphrodites would say the same thing about being penetrated vaginally, and yet that doesn't stop them from having sex that way regularly." Maybe not the most comforting thing to hear, but Ivan hopes it will do more to help him than hinder.

Shrugging, he lets his head rest on top of David's. "While my focus is going to be your enjoyment, I can't prevent any uncomfortableness that might happen -- but I need you to tell me if it hurts or you want me to stop."

[komarran]

No, it doesn't fill him with confidence, but he appreciates the honesty. He'd rather know what to expect than have them get started and the surprise make things far worse. For a moment, David closes his eyes and simply enjoys the feel of Ivan holding and resting over him. It's strange how right with the Nexus he feels when they're like this.

"I'll let you know. I do want to enjoy this." And he thinks he would like it far more than what he's done previous given how their sessions have gone.
