3rd Floor Common Room Tues. Night

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

As the second floor common room was too busy, Angel, Logan, and a party hat wearing Sean made their way to the third floor common room. Finding no other posts about it it empty, Angel put his box down on one of the tables. "Um, you wanna pick? I could put the popcorn in the microwave."

Krycek smirked. "There's a lot less, now," he admitted. "It was a very informative week, if you want to look at it that way."

Rory looked puzzled, and then smiled. "Yeah. I've spent weeks with good friends who I thought I knew everything about, and found out so much just because we got bored and ended up talking a lot."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"You probably didn't sleep with them though," he pointed out. "That's sort of a different level of 'knowing', I think."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory blinked.

"Um. You mean like, there was one bed, and so you all ended up sleeping together, right?" she asked, pretty sure that that was an incorrect assumption.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"There were two beds, plus a pull-out in the living room, and we all ended up sleeping together," he explained, amused. "Consenting adults, everything's more fun when you're naked, and all that." Now he was just teasing her.

Rory stared.

(And blushed. Because this is Rory we're talking about, and when doesn't she blush?)

But mostly, she stared.

"All...three...of you?" she asked slowly.

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"All three of us. Various positions and combinations." He looked a little smug, maybe.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory stared some more.

"Oh. That's. Um. That's very nice for you."

Yes, that's the correct response to finding out your friends had a ménage à trois.

And in spite of her brain breakage, Rory's curiosity got the better of her.

"You don't mind sharing Jakey?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"I don't really think of it that way," he said, abruptly honest. If Rory had the presence of mind to ask the question, he didn't see why he shouldn't answer. "If he wanted to sleep with Chloe without me being there, then I might mind - I wouldn't want to share. But the three of us together is completely different."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory thought about this in a completely hypothetical, perfectly clean way (because otherwise she was going to fall over from the dirty imagery) and shook her head.

"I couldn't do it. I get jealous when my boyfriends - you know, when I have one, which I don't right now - hang out with girls who are pretty, or even look at them. I couldn't handle something like...that." She smiled somewhat blankly. "But, um...good for you! I guess. I have no idea what the appropriate response is here."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek arched an eyebrow at her denial. "Not that I don't get jealous, but it's different. And have you seen how possessive Jake gets?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oh God, yeah," Rory smiled. "It's cute. And a tiny bit frightening, if you get in his way."

She chewed her lip, still struggling with the concept. "Okay, now, I would ask about the mechanics of involving another person, since it always seemed really complicated to me with just the two of us," and here she blushed even redder, "but I made the mistake of asking someone about their sex life and getting way more info than I anticipated before. So I'll, um, just let it go and continue on in my blissful ignorance of how that would even work."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek shrugged. "The mechanics of a threesome and asking me about my sex life are not necessarily the same thing," he said mildly, then smirked. "I am capable of not oversharing, or being disgusting and invasive."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

And despite the fact that she knew she really, really shouldn't ask, she did.

"I just don't get it. Like, it's busy enough with two people. How do you even involve a third?"

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Blinking, Krycek gave Rory a moment to take back the question before he actually answered. When she didn't, he shrugged again, but smiling this time as well. "It helps not to be nervous and to have a sense of humour. The mechanics sort of follow from there. But, to be blunt, there are quite a few ways to put Tab A into Slot B. And Slot C, for that matter."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory blinked.

"Oh. Oh." She got it. And, thankfully, without much detail. "Okay. That makes sense. I still don't think I could ever...y'know, do that. But I get it, kind of."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

Krycek grinned. "You'd be surprised what you'd do, given the right people. Or the right amount of liquor. But, anyway, feel free to ask anything you want, whenever," he offered, not adding that he might a) not answer or b) this was not something he generally offered anyone, outside of Jake.

Rory arched a brow. "I'll keep that in mind," she nodded, appreciation for the offer evident in her features.
