Well, it kind of started with my sister. She would talk about all the women she thought were hot, and I didn't really connect to what she was saying. I asked her how she knew once. She laughed at me for that. Eventually I told her I thought I was bi, because to me guys and girls were similar levels of attractive. She's the one who suggested I might be ace.

[infailtration]

Because the level of attractive just doesn't get up to hot for you?

[ York doesn't fully understand, but he wants to. It seems like an important thing he never knew about his best friend. ]

[bothbarrels]

Right. Like, I can see an attractive person, and notice they're attractive, but I don't get to the level of "I'd like to tap that" at any point.

[ North appreciates that York's asking questions. Better to ask and to know than not to and to not. ]

[infailtration]

I'm gonna cheat and ask another question: have you ever tried it? Or do you just know it's not for you?

[bothbarrels]

What? You mean sex?

[ Realizing that's what York means, shakes his head with a few moments of laughter. ]

York, having sex and having attraction don't necessarily have much to do with one another.

[infailtration]

Okay, now I'm actually confused. They sure do for me.

[bothbarrels]

If you weren't attracted to anybody at all, would you have a low enough libido to just never have sex with anyone? I don't know about you, but that's not me.

[infailtration]

It's hard for me to separate the two, but... maybe? Maybe not.

[ And he's realizing now that he was very wrong in interpreting this. ]

[bothbarrels]

Well, I mean, I suppose it would be different for an allosexual person like you. But I wouldn't know.

[infailtration]

Well look at that, I learned something new.

[ He grins, polishing off the first little liquor bottle and setting it on the nightstand. ]

Truth.

[bothbarrels]

Good, I'm glad.

Return question, about you being whatever you are. Pan, I'm guessing.

[infailtration]

Hmm, I guess I just... always knew, even if I didn't always have a word for it? From the time I knew what a crush was, I was already having them for people no matter how they identified. And my parents just rolled with it, so I didn't know that wasn't how it was for everybody until I got a little older.

[bothbarrels]

[ North chuckles. ]

It's easier for you people.

[infailtration]

Wow. "You people."

[ York laughs, too, though, starting to feel the warmth of the drink he's had loosening his limbs. ]

I wouldn't trade it?

[bothbarrels]

I guess it sounds like a nice way to be. I'm used to being me, though.

[infailtration]

I wouldn't change you, either.

[bothbarrels]

[ He smiles and reaches into the bag to get the other little bottle of alcohol that he'd brought. He cracks the cap open and takes a small drink. ]

I'm glad to know.

[infailtration]

[ York eyes the bottle. He's not going to ask North if he's sure that's a good idea, as his friend seems to be in a good mood... but he'll definitely keep his good eye on the mood of things. ]

Are we switching to Never Have I Ever?

[bothbarrels]

Sure. We can do that.

[ He sets the bottle in his lap, clutching it with 3 fingers. ]

You want to go first?

[infailtration]

[ York smirks. ]

Never have I ever shot a sniper rifle.

[bothbarrels]

[ North snorts and takes a drink from his bottle. ]

Never have I ever had sex in public.

[infailtration]

...define public.

[bothbarrels]

[ North laughs. ]

Someplace where you could or did easily get caught. Like in a car.

[infailtration]

[ York drinks. ]

Never have I ever pierced anything.

[bothbarrels]

[ North drinks, chuckling. ]

See, you keep going for things you know I've done.

Never have I ever lied to someone in order to get laid.
