[Scott's not quite sure where this is headed. Maybe he's looking too much into it and Dazai just wants to see some pole dancers for a bit. He's truly a difficult man to fully read, something that he usually doesn't have problems with, but he's able to blend motives with a smile. Well, at least there's no harm in watching a pole dance. Never really something he's done before, but... he's not going to make a fuss about it. Be a little ridiculous in a place like this.]
If you prefer to sleep with women, that's fine. [That's generally his preference too?? He's pretty sure at least.]
We don't need to do anything together, Dazai. I'm fine with just accompanying you to watch.
I like to sleep with both. Hugging and loving on, though, women.
("i'm not into hugging men", he has said, however, definitely into sucking dick. mostly, he is much into fucking and ghosting whoever, but lately, that proves difficult with the state of this place. he can be found, as big as this place is.)
[...So, rough with men and soft with women. Got it. See, he's catching onto this stuff a bit better. Being with Jean his entire life, it's not like he really thought about sex or anything like this outside of their relationship, because it never mattered or even occurred to him. They just had each other. Now... now it's entirely different. She's not here-- and she won't be.
Okay, maybe it is time to watch a gorgeous lady twirl around a pole. Better than dwelling back to his more depressing thoughts.]
...Just want to watch some women first to get yourself in the mood? [He asks, a little wryly. Scott's not really offended though.]
Not necessarily! Are there better things to look at in full colors?!
(it's not for his benefit, neither is it to grace scott's eyes with the beauty of the female form. it's much more about helping him loosen up, to find comfort, so he trusts dazai even more. he can tell the other is a little stiff still, so what's a better way to let that dissolve if not by women and alcohol?
they can even sleep together the next day. this is a bond-making exercise.
Most things are better to look at in full color. [His voice continues to carry that slight dryness, at least comfortable enough with his powers that he can poke at them to some degree. It's been a decade now, he's used to certain facts about his life. Of course he still appreciates the small reprieve that Dazai gave him, but he hasn't gotten this far by constantly being angry or defensive.]
Unless you're telling me that you like being seen in different shades of red.
[He remarks as he continues to follow Dazai to where the pole dancers are. To Scott's credit, he doesn't look embarrassed or bothered by this.] You plan on holding my hand the entire time as we watch them?
[One thing is apparent, Dazai is succeeding to some degree in getting Scott to loosen up a little.]
Doesn't matter what I prefer! Everyone sees everything very differently, you know!
(finally, they arrive, and immediately, dazai's hand reaches for scott's. it's a much better view, as previously established, even if the club is full in red. perhaps a different tone could be similarly exciting? a trip of the visual senses?)
[Seeing things differently, huh. Scott wonders if that's just literally or metamorphically in this sense. Maybe both. Not like he disagrees with that sentiment anyway; everyone truly looks at different aspects of life in their own way.
Despite himself, his hand curls into Dazai's, taking that leap to trust him once more. With their grip solidified, Scott slowly slides his sunglasses to the top of his head before taking everything in with that new bright splash of color. It's still overwhelming, and there's some sad irony that the first time he sees a mostly naked woman in full color is one that's dancing on a pole right now.
Why couldn't it have been Jean--]
...They are very beautiful. [Wow, Summers.] I'm sure they would be glad to know that I'm not seeing their faces in some hue of red.
