Velo kept an eye on him while they played. Finally, after Elliot had died for about the tenth time because of something stupid he'd done, he paused the game, then pushed his controller away, so that Elliot couldn't reach it. He turned to him, sitting cross-legged with a determined look on his face. "Now, tell me what it is," he demanded, frowning. He sounded worried.

Elliot was still in the middle of a thought when Velonin paused the game and pushed away his controller, his look read 'hey what are you doing', as he looked confused at Velonin. He then realized that he had caught on to the fact that he hadn't been all there while they were playing, but what would Elliot say to him? He couldn't just say, 'oh I somehow got turned on back then... now I don't know what to think about it'.

Instead he replied as lazily he could with, "I'm just tired.. that's all." He avoided Velonin's eyes hoping he wouldn't see his lie.

Velo continued to look at his eyes, and immediately caught the lie anyway, despite his efforts. "Lies. I'd rather you tell me the truth. Kinda hurts to be lied to, you know?" he hummed, tapping his fingers against the Xbox softly.

Elliot was growing more anxious by the minute as he knew Velonin's eyes were on him, watching his every move, and then he said the worst. At which made Elliot snap, "I'm sorry, but its not like it something I want to talk about." he stood in the spurt of his temper revealing what he had been hiding, and not even noticing because he was not only tired but feeling paranoid.

Velo blinked, flinching back like he'd been slapped, and then stared...directly at the issue. "Oh. Now I feel all kinds of stupid." He scratched his head, not fazed in the least by Elliot's impending temper tantrum. "Erm...you might want to go and take care of that. Unless..." he trailed off again, not bothering to say what he'd been going to say. He felt Elliot would understand what he meant well enough.

His unspoken statement revealed much more than he'd originally wanted to.

Elliot immediately realized what he had just done and quickly turned not knowing what else to do. All that came out of his mouth was the word 'fuck' as he now had made himself out to be completely a whack job, and obviously this would ruin the friendship. He barely listened to what Velonin was saying as he was trying to wrack his mind on what he should do net, when he caught his last statement and it made him freeze again.

He brushed it off trying to be cool and moved to his bed, "It's nothing... its not you or whatever, I'm not like that... really... its just you know its been awhile." his words were rushed, the only thing that was now going through his mind was that he didn't want to blow a friendship but he probably had. As he covered himself with a blanket, he spoke not even looking at Velonin.

"If you want to switch rooms or something I understand."

Velonin watched him, idly. "...? You don't have to be so nervous, honestly. And why would I wanna switch rooms? You're a cool guy." He was almost brushing it off like nothing happened. He was a carefree kind of guy, it seemed...very carefree. He shifted. "You should really take care of that, seriously. Go off to the bathroom, or let me help you, or something."

Now that he'd already let it loose, he didn't mind bringing his sexuality up. He would make sure to clarify later, and fully explain. But it was late, and he didn't feel like it.

Elliot finally caught onto it the second time, "Wait a second... you are..." he didn't say it, it felt strange to him. Now if Velonin was what he thought, he didn't know what to think. Did that mean that Velonin was interested in him, or was he just kidding about it, to try and make it not so bad. Elliot didn't even know how he felt about the whole scenario, it wasn't going to go away on its own now, and the more Velonin mentioned taking it away, whether was Elliot himself or any hand he wondered if he would care, or if it would feel different.

Velo sighed, then turned off the game. He had a feeling they wouldn't be getting back to it, anyway. "I'm bi. I like both," he informed him, shortly. "I didn't know how you'd react, so I didn't say anything. Sure as hell should've been that cautious when I told my family."

He pointed to his scar. Its meaning was now quite evident.

Elliot had never really given the idea of bisexual a thought until Velonin mentioned it, maybe Elliot had that in him too. It would be possible, of course he hadn't ever tried anything, but clearly his body didn't know the difference. A wash of guilt came over him when Velonin pointed at his scar.

"Oh god, I really am a big idiot..." he fiddled with the blanket, this whole scenario was awkward as he sat there, he didn't know what to do-- he felt weird about going in the bathroom when Velonin would know what he was doing.

Velo lowered his hand, and his eyes, for a moment. He lifted his gaze again to meet Elliot's eyes, a gentle curiosity seated in his gaze. "Do you want me to take care of it for you? I can, since it was my fault."

When Velonin lowered his hand Elliot didn't stop him, he couldn't, his mind was in a slight haze, "I...I..." he couldn't find the words to say no, or even yes, he didn't know if he wanted it, his mouth closed with that, his eyes cast down.

Velo simply sat where he was, on his side of the room. He didn't speak for a while. Instead, he watched Elliot closely, seriously. He would take care of it. But only if Elliot really wanted him to. It was his fault, and he kinda felt bad for bringing it on.

Elliot hung his head, he couldn't possibly put into words that he wanted it, or say that he didn't, "I..." he continued his voice was exhausted, "I really don't know what I want anymore..." he finally admitted to the confusion that filled his mind. He was unsure of what Velonin would take from it.

"I see." Velo didn't want to take advantage of him when he was like this, and he sighed. "...If you don't want it, then you must want it in some way..."

Elliot finally caved, "I'm just afraid..." his voice was shaky, it was evident he wanted something but he wouldn't be able to tell Velonin, that he did want him after all. He closed his eyes, every-time he thought about it, just made the situation a bit more painful on his end, and surely another man would know what to do, even better than a woman would.

"You really don't have to be, you know. I don't bite, after all." Velo paused, then snickered, clapping his hand to his forehead. "Ahaha. Not unless someone wants me to. Sorry, I couldn't resist." He fell silent again, running the situation over in his head. "...You want anything in particular, or should I just go for it?" he asked, pointedly. He knew that Elliot wanted something, but he wanted a place to start. A place that wouldn't completely terrify him.

Elliot turned red at his joke, it made him stir further which didn't help the scenario anymore. The way that Velonin talked about it, was as if it were a business transaction, which made Elliot feel more awkward about it. If he were to be intimate with anyone he needed to know if he felt something, right now it was only the biology of his body's needs.

He quietly moved to where Velonin sat and looked at him for a moment the two of them close together now, "I just... need to see something..." he said quietly and slowly closing the gap between them.

Velo didn't retreat backwards, but he also didn't move forward. He did tilt his head a little the second before their lips met, so it would be a smoother action, and closed his eyes. From a kiss, Velo couldn't determine if he felt anything for anyone. He always had sparks flare in his stomach. He did take notice that it was more than usual, which was a good sign.

Elliot closed his eyes as he kissed Velonin tenderly, it was awkward at first, but then he realized that he began to really like it. His hand absentmindedly moved to Velonin's leg as he kissed him deeper, his mind wouldn't let him wonder anymore if it was okay. He almost had an urgency about the way this was coming about, his body had taken full control.

Velonin once again didn't want to take advantage of him, no matter what his body felt. He allowed the deepening of the kiss without question, but reached down and removed Elliot's hand from his leg. It was a sign not to rush, no matter how much his body demanded it. Otherwise, it would turn out being a bad experience for him.

Elliot was happy when Velonin welcomed the kiss, but when he felt his hand being moved away this pulled him back to reality, he broke the kiss looking at him confused. Elliot didn't know what to think, he enjoyed the kiss he knew that much, and he somehow trusted Velonin, but when he did something simple like touch him it was to far? Elliot's thoughts were a complete and utter mess.

Velo fixed him with a set stare, and a somehow knowing, apologetic glance. "Don't rush right into it," he warned, softly. He had had many bad experiences in the past with people who hadn't tried anything with another male before. Get comfortable with the kiss, 100%, and then touch.

Elliot recoiled, now feeling ashamed of pushing things forward too quickly. Sure his body was ready to go all the way, but his mind wasn't and although it was embarrassing he appreciated the fact that Velonin could see that, and stopped him. "I'm sorry..." he said quietly looking down, "I'm pretty new to this whole thing."

"It's all right," Velo assured him, reaching out to give him a hug. "Just try to go slowly. Er...like you would with someone who'd been recently hurt, or a virgin, or anything like that. Slow's the key, especially with new stuff." He pulled back, and simply sat there, tilting his head expectantly.
