This is Jesus. Leave a message.

K has memories of the orphanage but not an entire childhood's worth. He tips his head, attentive and curious but cautious.

"And that lasted long enough for you to be old enough to be on your own?" he asks, because really, the rest only matters if Jesus wants to talk about any of it.

He wants to know about Jesus, wants to know what the shadows are that flicker through his expression tied to nothing obvious that K is aware of. He wants to know his friend.

He nods, noting the dismissive shrug with the resigned, worn discomfort of the actual words.

"Thank you for telling me," he says. "I'm sorry you had to wait all that time."
konstant: (Talking)

"You," he says simply, taking his bottle and looking at it curiously, but he doesn't stop there, doesn't longer.

"Joi taught me to dance, and I'm glad she did. I liked my cruiser." And then abruptly, remembering: "One of Sara's friends has a dog who had puppies."
konstant: (Surprised)

K blinks like Jesus just switched languages on him, except he would have understood if he had done that.

It stops him from digging out his phone. "What?"
konstant: (Happy)

[personal profile] konstant 2022-10-14 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
The prompt gets K moving again, pulling his phone out and scrolling through it to find the messages Sara sent him. The rest he very obviously has no idea what to do with or even what question to ask.

"I didn't know that was possible," he finally settles on, offering the phone. It has a paused video up of K sitting cross legged on the floor of a large whelping box, nine puppies in various stages of crawling over his lap and trying to reach his face while he does his best to pet all of them at once, eyes bright.

It takes K a moment to notice, as he's still stuck on the concept of adopting someone else's baby dogs. "You don't think he wants them?" he's asking when he catches sight of Jesus's face and swallows whatever his next question was going to be.

He tips his head for a moment, confused, and then that clicks too and he relaxes, smiling, as the version of him on the video notices he's being recorded and goes blank for a second - but the largest of the litter, a round, tawny girl pup manages to get an angle on licking his chin that puts her tongue unexpectedly up his left nostril and he startles, laughing.

"That's Mango."
konstant: (Conversation)

He likes the idea. He does. Nibbles is in with V right now but he spends plenty of time curled up in K's lap or on his chest, and it's reassuring in such an unexpected way to have a living creature that wants to do that, that chooses to.

But: "I have no idea how to take care of a dog," he says, as the K on the video scoops Mango up and the puppy switches to licking his neck, chewing on his ear, which K tolerates patiently.

It should come as no surprise that the immediate question, then, is:

"Have you ever had a dog?"
konstant: (Happy)

[personal profile] konstant 2022-10-15 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
On the contrary. "If I did - if Cassidy and V let me - you could come see her whenever you want."

Jesus's eagerness to introduce K to Nibbles, the number of times the cat came up over the course of their friendship, means that K is more than happy to make sure Jesus can come pet the dog as often as possible, too.

"She's very friendly. She'd like you too, I know she would."
konstant: (Vegas 9)

[personal profile] konstant 2022-10-15 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll ask," he hedges, because he's not just going to steal someone's dog, and there's still that ingrained habit of expecting not to be trusted by just anyone.

But he does like the idea. There's only one more hesitation: "What about Nibbles?"

He doesn't know anything about dogs, but he does know the phrase fighting like cats and dogs.
konstant: (Gaze)

"I'll ask," he promises again, sliding his phone away, fingers brushing Jesus's in passing.

"Now that you've said that, actually, I think that might be what Sara looked so pleased about when she showed me. I couldn't figure out what I was seeing." A plan working out, his experience told him, but he couldn't imagine what the plan was.

"She found me," he corrects, but he's smiling when he does it now; he's glad they met, glad they get along.

"The guards were hassling me about my coat. She stopped to make sure that was all they did, and then showed me around a bit."

He pulls a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket, pulls one out of the pack, moving a bit around the corner of the island now that he clearly intends to light it and doesn't want to stand directly over the food when he does.

K holds still until he figures out what's going on, and by then he's kissing back warmly. He picks up right where he left off, settling on one of the island stools, close enough to easily talk but letting the quiet fan system in the kitchen pull the smoke away.

"After our orientation, there were those workshops." He didn't see everyone there, but he was still in shock at the time, still numb and unsure. He might have missed them, or he might have imagined how mandatory it seemed. It doesn't matter. He remembers that part clearly because of Vrenille. "They put me in a room with a blindfold, told me not to take it off. Dominants could come in and... I wasn't clear on the rules, if there was a time limit, or boundaries of any kind, or if it was different for everyone. One of the Doms was angry about my not being enthusiastic enough to kiss him back, and then Vrenille came in."
