[He chuckles.]

You say deviousness, I say helping a friend find a way to lower his daily stress.

His stress or my stress?

His, obviously. Positive reinforcement does wonders, after all~

Although a little warning might be nice next time, so I don't think this is another of the city's tricks or one of their clones.

Ja'far is not known for interrupting paperwork for anything, you realize.

--clones?

[Yeah, hi, guess who didn't know about those?]

And for what it's worth, I just told him to reward paperwork with a blow job. If he interrupted you for it that's all on him.

Yeah, that was a thing that happened a while back. Duplicates and doubles of everyone showed up, many of them offering to give people shows over these devices they gave us. Most people were... displeased with someone sharing their looks displaying quite so much with very little shame.

[ Sinbad has to laugh at that. ] Good to know.

Ah. Hm. I wonder if there's one of me, now...

[Not that he cares.]

I also suggested, if you continued to misbehave, that he call in Aspen, since Aspen is honestly unfairly attractive when he's in control and if that doesn't get you to behave I don't know what will.

[He is telling you this entirely to facilitate the three of you having more threesome sex. You three deserve it.]

.........

.................

Fuck.

[ Now there's a mental image. ]

[Jun chuckles.]

Mhm. I'd say you'd have to tell me all about it, but I'm sure it will be the sort of thing you don't talk about to outsiders.

[ Jun can't see it, but Sinbad arches an eyebrow on the other end of the line. ]

Outsiders, perhaps, but you're hardly that, Jun. You might be new, but you are most certainly one of us.

[And Sin can't see it, but Jun just waves him off and tsks.]

I'm Aspen's Submissive. He loves you and Ja'far.

And you are already extremely important to him. It's quite obvious to anyone who sees you together.

And I can confess a great deal of fondness for you myself, even though we haven't known one another as long.

We love each other, yes, but not at the exclusion of others who are important to us, those we wish to cherish.

[It's a good thing this is over the devices because Jun doesn't have to worry about schooling his expression, just his voice.]

There's a difference between friendship and what the three of you have, Sinbad, and that is a wide, wide gap.

[He's pretty sure none of that annoying pining leaked out...]

Considering Aspen was a stranger to us not that long ago himself, it's not as wide a gap as you think.

[There's a strange sort of noise that's probably meant to be a chuckle, but Jun doesn't quite manage it.]

Different situations, Sinbad. Surely you don't need me to point that out.

You might, actually, because I don't see a difference at all.

[ He's completely 100% serious here. ]

[Jun's voice gains an edge, suddenly a bit cold.]

Truly, Sinbad?

[ Sinbad gives a small sigh before answering. ]

Yes, Jun, truly. What is it you think separates you so far from the rest of us? Because I truly do not see a difference at all.

Plenty of things, but first and foremost being the three of you are--and please correct me if I'm wrong, though I doubt I'm that far off--a married couple who have both fallen in love with Aspen.

[ There's a pause before Sinbad abruptly bursts into laughter, tickled pink by this assumption. ]

Would you believe me when I tell you both Judar and I fell for Aspen before we started dealing with feelings for one another? Despite having known each other for most of our lives?

...you can't be serious. I called you Ja'far's husband the first day I met him and he didn't correct me.

[ This just prompts more laughter. ]

Aspen has also called us an old married couple on multiple occasions, you're not the only one to think that.

[He sighs.]

Clearly I underestimated your ability to read people because dear gods, Sin, it was painfully obvious to a disoriented stranger that you two were married.

[A beat.]

Or you were just willfully oblivious because of anti-fraternization laws but I doubt you care about those.

Well, that's fair. [ Sinbad is still chuckling, amused. ] To be fair, things were always just a little busy where we came from. it was always right off of one adventure or danger into another. Or there was paperwork about those dangers and adventures. The thinking was different. We've always been side by side, but both of us being brought here made us look at things in a new light.

....This place being such a sensual and sexual-enforced setting probably helped. I'm not sure Ja'far ever paid attention to such things much before, unless it was scolding me for my fondness for it.

And it's much harder to ignore any affectionate feelings when the man you're falling for reaches for you after sex.

[---dammit, that's present tense. Not past. Is that a slip?]
