[wicka]

Your what?

[ He knows those words individually. They sound different all put together. ]

[dead_tongue]

You and Finch, you goober.

[A smooch.]

I like who I am, don't worry. But you guys aren't like... I probably won't find you at a drag bar units I make you go to one. You know what I mean?

[wicka]

I don't know what a drag bar is, but yeah. I don't think they'd let me in a lot of bars anyway.

[ In the US. Absolutely no one cares here, or the rest of the world. ]

There's also places we wouldn't expect you to go to, either. I don't think you'll judge us for that, will you?

[ So nothing to worry about! ]

[dead_tongue]

Pfft, only in America.

[He looks at Dom, stunned.]

Like where? And no, of course not.

[wicka]

I don't know, like... those bars only bikers go to.

[ Since that's the topic on his mind. ]

[dead_tongue]

I've been to leather bars!

...now that I think about it that might not be the same thing...

[He settles back with a thoughtful noise.]

[wicka]

Bikers wear leather. The jackets.

[ #clueless ]

What were you doing there?

[dead_tongue]

...oh, Dom.

[He turns his head to press kisses all along Dom's jawline.)

At a leather bar? Just checking out the scene during Pride.

[wicka]

[ and Dom thinks, I did it again, didn't I. ]

Yeah?

[dead_tongue]

Yeah! It's not really for me, but I like to meet all sorts of people, you know?

[Another kiss, this one to Dom's lips.]

[wicka]

[ he kisses iggy back, leaning in for more when he feels him pulling away. just a little needy. ]

So? Would you see me going to one of those?

[dead_tongue]

Not really. I see you more like... there's this sort of square by the law courts downtown, back home? And kids dance there. They bring speakers or whatever and do k-pop and hip-hop choreography.

You'd be there, I bet.

[More kissing, lazily.]

[wicka]

[ Dom can't quite help the smile, trying to focus on the kiss. It's just— the fact that Iggy brought up dancing makes him really happy. He hasn't focused on it, not really. He should practice more. Maybe even show it to people outside his circle. ]

Yeah, I'd like to do that. And you could film me with your phone.

[dead_tongue]

I would! I'd sit on the steps and watch and after we could go to the food trucks nearby! There's a really good taco one...

[Iggy sighs.]

I do miss home, sometimes.

[wicka]

[ He'd like that. More than he realized up until Iggy said it. ]

Me too. I miss Macau and all that stuff, but. I don't know. I think it's more the people than just the places. You know?

[ He takes Iggy's hands, plays with his fingers. Second-person fidgeting. ]

We could visit your home sometime. Not for real, but in a dream. You could show me around.

[dead_tongue]

I do, yeah. That's why I'm not upset about being here. I have Cellar and Theo and you and Finch and Ptol... lots of people.

[He hums, fingers playing back.]

Really? That would be cool. Can I see your home too?

[wicka]

Yeah, 'course you can. We can go to Macau, or check out Westcreek… Maybe I can show you my friends, my moms.

[ Teddie. He's not sure if it'd be too weird to bring him up. ]

[dead_tongue]

[Softly:]

I would really, really like that.

🎀

[wicka]

[ He's quiet, then his smile grows warmer, happy with the thought. It's a promise he can look forward to.

Dom settles next to Iggy, lightly bumps his head against him, a gesture of affection very few get. He'll try to watch the movie now. ]
