Panther Park I can't escape you

She felt warm and soft and right against him. For a moment, he closed his eyes, allowing himself a moment of joy as a world of potential and wonder opened up before them. They had been two lost souls, staggering through a wicked and empty world, but with her he felt home. He breathed softly as she pulled back a touch, smiling with tender, gentle eyes back to her. Me too, he echoed. From the get go, they'd always been able to talk. People always said communication was the key to every successful relationship, and it was a skill he hoped would serve them well as they started a new journey.
Takiyok asked whether he might be attracted to a man on the outside. It was something he had considered ever since Zephyr told him that he was male. Even though it didn't entirely make sense to Taikon, it seemed likely that gender was just not a thing he'd ever had to think about, and so he had always assumed he was mostly straight.
I don't know. I so rarely experience attraction at all that I always just assumed I wouldn't be, but now I feel like that assumption maybe kept me from friendships and experiences. I've always made connections more easily with women, but maybe that's because I treated men differently, I dunno, he answered. He frowned. He was all sorts of confused and didn't know how to answer her properly. Then, he suddenly feared she might have asked for other reasons. That wouldn't change how I feel about you, though, he inserted quickly.
