Lay Your Prompts On Me - 6. 352 - Pandas and Polar Bears

“I can’t believe you asked him that!”

“Why not?” Jian shrugged fluidly, “it’s not like there’s great deal of point spending ages beating around the bush.”

Huan-Yu covered his eyes with one palm, as though he couldn’t believe what was happening.

“You do not just up and ask my housemate if he likes to ‘play rough’, Jian! I think I’m gonna be sick.”

“He’s a fuckin’ polar bear dude: he can deal with it.” Jian glanced back through the kitchen doorway and across the hall. He could only make out Emmett’s arm and the smooth muscled ball of his shoulder as he took another swig of his beer, but it was enough to make him shiver.

“You don’t even know that’s he’s gay!”

“Er, yeah I do.”

“I can hear you two y’know,” the Canadian leant forwards and stared at them both for a long moment, “are you bringing chips or what? Game’s gonna start without you…”

Jian sniggered.

“You watch sports now?”

“No,” Huan-Yu glared at his long-time friend, “Emmett watches sports. I just can’t be bothered to change the channel.”

Jian hefted the big bowl of chips and grabbed the dip from surface with a grin. He rolled his eyes.

“Panda’s… so un-ambitious.” He spun around in the doorway of the living room, making sure that Emmett could see his butt, “thanks for letting me stay by the way ‘cus.”

Huan-Yu followed carrying two more beers and an aloe-vera juice bottle. It was going to be a long winter.
