Re: [Capital University: Misha & Damian]
Damian was aware of the fact that Misha could not cheat, but, he supposed if his intentions were solely to distract, rather than to make Damian lose, perhaps the rules were more lax. He did not know. This was simple supposition. But, he smiled when Misha kicked under the water and when water sprayed in a froth from blond as the boy shook his head emphatically. "You only wished to make me hard at naught but a glancing touch. I understand now." Damian was teasing. He was not so hard as to not be able to think, but he was not soft either. The man lifted his chin. He did glance at the water when he brought trunks low, but it was not as if he could see anything. Still. He pressed his foot higher, still tangled in orange kaleidoscopic fabric. High on thigh, near where Misha's balls, and he dug toes into sensitive skin. As he was not an angel, he was not sickened by the injury, distraction, or arousal caused.
But, he did attempt to listen. He brought his foot away, so he might tread water better, and he looked over the chlorine green at Misha who was correcting himself. Damian did not seem overly upset as of now. Victory was still fresh and, as he was competitive in many, many ways, as everything in his young life had been about being the best, he was extremely, perhaps inordinately, pleased, both with himself and with the status of the world at large. It was a young reaction, but he did not know this. He only knew he liked it.
Listening. Listening. Damian lifted his chin even higher when Misha said he was worried about the drugs. "It is inevitable, this worry. I... should not have smoked the box. I am sorry." This much was true, and while an apology accomplished precisely nothing, he did it anyway. "I should have known you would be on edge about what might occur at such a gathering, but I did not think about it. I was selfish." Damian floated on his back a little and peered at the ceiling as he spoke. "I do not think you did anything wrong, my reactions aside. You cannot base right and wrong upon me."
