He sighed before lying back. "Maybe for your sake couldn't hurt to talk to Plato. Or Victor--Victor might have some ideas, not that he's been in a good mood. Ugh." He closed his eyes. "There's too much stress. It's making me grayer than I should be."

Alonzo laughed a hollow laugh, "I've tried talking to Plato more times than I can count, it doesn't work...and every time it doesn't makes it more and more clear to me that it probably never will." He rolled to his side, "Victor's being a crabby bitch right now, so I don't know what to do with him."
He looked at Munk, "you'll be fine Munk. We all will, we always are."

"Yeah. Pretty much."
It felt so heavy. He almost felt like he couldn't handle it.
"So, Plato was a good fuck?"
Something to break the mood.

Alonzo laughed, "you know he actually was. Surprising, I know. Of course I'm not really sure how he does on top, but he's a pretty good..." he cleared his throat, "taker." He winked at Munk never really able to stop himself laughing.

Munkustrap snorted as he burst out laughing.
"You're shitting me?! Plato's a fucking bottom? Oh my God, haha! Did he moan like a bitch?!"

Alonzo grinned, "not at first, but hell it sure didn't take him long to get into it, I'll tell you that much!" He was rolling around now, the laughter hurting his sides, "God, I couldn't even believe it the next morning, but yeah man, he was a champ."

"HA, always knew something was a bit funny about him. Almost too obsessed with girls, ya know?" Munkustrap then paused, thinking about that for a moment. "... actually, yeah... kinda... too obsessed with them. Maybe you're more in luck."
He grinned playfully then. "Not that I've been with a tom, but I'd think that'd be awesome to make one of the rugged ones beg for it."

"Oh," said Alonzo, "he definitely enjoys it, that much I think he knows, it's just the everything else that he has issues with." He paused a second, thinking, "I think he's legit into chicks, he just has no real ability to say no when it comes to sex I feel."
He looked at Munk at his last comment, "you've never been with a tom? I always assumed that sometime over the years you would have had some young-un try to sway you to the other side."

"Ha! You're making me sound like a creeper." He shook his head. "Nope. Lots of queens. Haven't with a tom. No that there's anything wrong with it but..." he hesitated. "It just seems complicated."

Post by Alonzo on Jul 31, 2011 21:02:59 GMT -5
"Complicated?" Alonzo said, an eyebrow raised, "hardly. If anything it's easier. I dunno it's like, you know exactly what to do to make another tom feel good, just cause, I mean it's pretty much what you'd do if you wanted to make yourself feel good, you know?"

Post by pike on Jul 31, 2011 21:04:22 GMT -5
"No, no, that's why it's not." Munkustrap sighed. "Emotionally. That's what's complicated. Queens... I get how they work... sorta. I usually can tell. But toms... so many keep it in, and then the ones who don't." He frowned. "They don't get it."

"Oh," he said nodding, "you mean like that. Yeah, Plato's like that, but I think that if you managed to find someone who actually, you know, is comfortable in their own skin and all that then you're pretty set." He laughed, sticking his tongue out at Munk, "I mean, that Quaxo guy and Mungo sure seemed to hit it off right from the get go."

"Don't remind me," he groaned. "i've barely set foot in my den. Fucking bastards." He shook his head. "And some, yeah. And then there are some that are uncomfortable. But if you're talking about uncomfortable, none can beat Tumble. I don't remember him saying anything but he just has that look. Would bet a can of Friskies he straddles the fence."

Alonzo nodded, laughing again, "you know though, now I think of it. I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who I couldn't see liking a little action from both sides." He paused, "other than Misto maybe, but still."
He nodded, "Tumble, yeah he's...he's a little bit...well, he's still a kit, definitely coming into his own still, he'll figure it out."

"Eh, maybe. With Victor as a brother, and considering who his parents are..." He frowned, then shook his head. "Not like he's got great influences." A smirk played on his face. "I almost want to take bets on whether he dates a queen or tom first."

Post by Alonzo on Jul 31, 2011 21:39:47 GMT -5
"I say a tom for sure," Alonzo said smirking, "I think that cat wouldn't know what to do with a queen yet. I think he needs someone to show him how to treat a lady."
"He doesn't have all bad influences," Alonzo said, "I mean, we're not so bad are we?"

"And hopefully not someone like Jerrie teaching him the ropes," Munkustrap snarked, thoroughly amused until the end. "I didn't even consider us as influences. I guess we're not so bad. He'd probably look up to you more than me just because you're closer to Victor."
|

Post by Alonzo on Jul 31, 2011 22:07:02 GMT -5
"Well," he said, "I think we're safe from that at least for the moment, as Jerrie seems quite thoroughly taken with Quaxo at the moment."
At Munk's second comment Alonzo shrugged, "yeah maybe," he said, "but you're like the big man on campus around here. I think all of the kittens look up to you."

"I think all the kittens look up to Tugger instead," Munkustrap muttered. Ugh. Sometimes his brother drove him insane. But, that was Tugger, and he knew Tugger was protective of him when he needed to be. Sort of.
He turned onto his stomach, head resting on his hands, tail limply hanging off the side of the car.

"Yeah well," he said, "Tugger's just...well, he's Tugger, you know? I think the kits only look up to him in that he's a sex fiend. But in reality, you'd be surprised as to how much they really think about how awesome you are." He paused turning to face Munk once more, smiling, "I know I think you're pretty awesome myself."

"That's just because I'm the boss," Munkustrap joked, though he seemed to relax from the laughter alone, smiling playing over his lips.

"Naw," Alonzo said swatting at Munk's tail, and laughing, "nobody cares that you're the boss."

"Of course they do. I'm the boss." He grinned, tail flicking at the tip back as he closed his eyes and sighed.

Alonzo smilied, lying on his stomach next to Munk and closing his eyes as well.
"You know Munk," he said, "I love doing this with you, just talking and...stuff. I can't do this with...well with anyone else."

"Same," Munkustrap replied. "Besides you, only cat I can somewhat talk to is my idiot brother... sometimes... but he doesn't really count... and well..." He thought a few moments. "A lot of the queens are great to talk with, especially Demeter, Cassandra, Bombalurina... but emotional attachment..." He stalled.
Silence.
"I guess I just still feel guilty about that thing with Kitrina to a degree. I mean, she's got to have some sort of good merit besides being a good shag. Right?" He turned on his side. "She's such a stranger. I don't get any sort of personality except queen bitch and loner. Maybe just need to get her a mate or something."
He lay back on his stomach again. "I'd think Plato would be a good listener. Just lousy conversationalist."
He hesitated then. "Did I ever tell you about what really happened with Plato's dad? The real reason why he left? Socrates said he was ashamed of Plato. Inbreeding incident. Felt Plato was his punishment because he was too slow. Covering up with Admetus was a nightmare. Realizing what he could have been had that not happened, had he had someone else for a mother--probably genius. Almost explains those few profound moments he has."
Munkustrap felt too chatty, or maybe too protective. Maybe just unable to accept the compliment Alonzo gave him about talking. Munkustrap just liked everyone. Loved everyone, really. He knew he was strong but didn't see why he was different. Why he was special. He just was a protector because no one else was. Tugger didn't want to do it. Tugger could have, Munkustrap was certain, if he didn't rebel so much.
The talking with Alonzo was nice, though.

Alonzo just listened as Munk spoke, taking it all in. He really did seem to have to vent, the poor guy. Now Alonzo thought of it, he hadn't spoken to Munk like this in what felt like a very long time.
As he mentioned Plato and his father, Alonzo nodded, "yeah," he said, "I did kind of know about that." He sighed, "we could never tell Plato though, he's still convinced that his Dad might be coming back..."

"No. And, at the same time, I almost wonder if something like that would wisen him up. Actually, I'm certain of it but..." He stalled, then continued, "He's one of the most consistently happy cats I know. I mean, anyone gets angry, and maybe his temper could use some work, but overall... he's happy. With all the stress with the Jellicles, I think we need one to just be a voice of optimism, even if unrealistic. Or even just comic relief with the idiot things he does."
He turned on his back then, and looked to the sky. "Though I guess we all do really idiot things. Just we're aware of them and cover them up."

"Oh yeah," he said, nodding, "Plato is definitely good for that. You gotta love being around him; his optimism is contagious."
At Munk's next words Alonzo laughed, "yeah, I'm sure I'm an idiot on quite a regular basis, it just doesn't seem like it because I hang around Plato so much."

"That's the real reason why you love him. You just love looking like you're smart!" Munkustrap teased, giving Alonzo a little, playful push as he settled back and laughed. A little less tension. Maybe another way for Alonzo to look at it. He felt partly guilty for the jokes at Plato's expense but Plato wouldn't even realize they were negative. And well... Alonzo deserved a lot.
Though he couldn't deny the closeness between Alonzo and Plato, and the idea of wedging between it wasn't appealing. Soemtimes it was nice to just have normalness.

Alonzo laughed, perhaps a little half-heartedly, "of course! How could I not have seen it before."
He gave Munk a push back, sitting up and staring once again skyward.
"The stars really are beautiful tonight...it's so clear."
