Highschool Boys [Young Gays]

Laying his ears back as Ryou seemed to hit the nail on the head, surely he wasn't that flamboyantly obvious was he? Shaking his head, he was pretty sure the answer was no, but even if the other was plenty aware, at least they didn't seem to mind. A small worry he had, but hey, after being disowned, most of Diem's fucks had walked themselves right out the door as well.

Letting Ryou lead the way, he had certainly found out just how big the ship was when he approached. It made him wonder if there were an obscene amount of dragons on the strange house boat, or if Ryou simply liked his space. Staring down at the trolly, he still had desire to keep the bag slung over his shoulder. It was easy enough telling the insistent dragon no with their trade but.. it was leagues harder with the one offering to let him stay rent free.

Giving in with a sigh of defeat, he set the heavier bag down as well, "Sure, that'd be great." He couldn't exactly deny the cute, excited squees of a baby dragon either.

“Yay! Adventure!” Launching herself off of Ryou, she led the way as her rider only laughed at her. Waiting for a moment for Diem to drop his things off before walking by him as his tail swished back and forth. His wings were folded nicely against this back and he had taken off his jacket and sleeves, left in only a tank top. Not even his shoes left on as he was inside his own home, which didn’t require shoes.

“This is the kitchen!” Dina told Diem as she waited, feathery wings flapping as Ryou let her give the tour for now. “We make lots of foods in here! It’s fun!” Zooming off, Ryou was close behind as now she was in the pantry, climbing the shelves. “And this is where we keep the food!”

“Dina really likes food.” He leaned over to whisper to Diem, but holding out his arm she climbed back on, leaving the rest of the tour to Ryou who was less biased about the amount of food that could be held or made in the area they were in.

Shown his bedroom, that was across the way from Ryou’s own sleeping quarters, he was also shown where bathrooms were, a few open rooms used for storage right now, a engine room, and then back up to the captain’s deck that was the living room/study area. Despite being big, there weren’t many places to see yet. Ryou was still working on the set up of the ship and all.

"I see, it is pretty important to keep the food where you make it," Dina was probably the first creature Diem had met that was more excited than him to be in a kitchen. With a quick, quiet, explanation from Ryou on why, he wound up grinning again. Hopefully she could get along quite well with Malice if that were the case. Though mostly his big bat liked to chow down on meats and fruits rather than just anything.

The tour was short and sweet, technically a lot shorter than Diem had been thinking it would be. Easy to remember at least. "Thanks for showing me around and.. well, invite me over and all in general." He was a bit awkward, stuffing his hands in his sweatshirt pocket. It was a rare occasion when he actually thanked someone sincerely. "I can at least cook the meals and bring back some fresh ingredients. Oh uh, of course the cleaning too, I'm pretty used to chores around a big house."

“It’s no problem really, I have the space and all. I’m just glad to help you out is all.” Still sweet as can be, he wasn’t awkward at all as he smiled at Diem. A bit tired from his speed cleaning he stretched out, shirt for a moment riding up to show his pale stomach before he heard his pegasus dragon coming back to him followed by the clicking of nails on the wooden floors as well.

“It’s Charm!” Dina wiggled, excited to see her sister coming to say hello to the new guest! She wasn’t the most social of dragons but she was curious, Cas prancing back and headbutting Ryou with just a green and white head peering around the corner, green raptor fingers wrapping around the wall as Ryou cooed for his baby to come join them in the late greeting of Diem.

“Come on girl, it’s alright! He’s a pretty kitty cat, don’t you like kitty cats?” He cooed, getting a head nod as her big eyes stared at Diem before the rather big dragon came lurking out. Back hunched over as she scooted closer, then hiding behind Ryou as she eyed Diem.

There was an ever so gay moment there where a flash of white skin drew Diem's eye. But he was going to ignore that, casting his gaze suspiciously skyward during the other's stretch, totally without an equally suspicious tint of red on his face. Nope, none at all.

Thankfully there was a surprisingly large distraction that apparently liked cats. It reminded him a little of his baby raptor dam, one of the only earth dragons he was bonded with that actually looked like an earth dragon. "Hey," He greeted, raising up a hand to wave before putting it back in the pocket at waist level. "I happen to like dragons too." Leaning down slightly, he offered the top of his head, ears laying back in that anticipating way, "Can pet me if you promise not to pull 'em." He knew better than to reach out to a nervous dragon first, being a cat coming in handy for such things. It was much better than trying to shake hands.

Cooing more at the big dam who was still young even if she didn’t look like it, she gave her rider soft screeches. Though capable of talking she was nervous now, her mind not focusing on the words she should say so everyone understood, as her eyes shifted between Ryou who was saying the kitty was so nice and pretty, to the kitty who was offering himself up for head pats and was indeed so nice.

“Go ooooooon then.” Reaching out his own hand to fluff at DIem’s hand, gently scratching right under his ear as a soft pur came from the male who was getting such a nice pet.

Reaching out her hand, she gently touched the pretty cat boy, soft clicking coming from her as her tail swished across the floor, nearly tripping Cas whose wings took flight for a moment before he set himself back down gracefully on the ground as if this was normal for him.

“Yes, pte the pretty kitty. Isn’t he so cute and adorable?”

“Mmmmm, quite.” Finally getting her mind in order, she was pleased she gave into petting the male.

“Good good, let’s let him settle in now.” Smiling at Diem, he knew the other had to put away his clothes and make himself comfortable and he didn’t want to stop him from that. “If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Okay?” Fluffing Diem a little more, he had a feeling this was going to be a wonderful time.
