Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leo smiled a little, "i think their presence may cause a stir, though. i mean-the leaders of Falia who have never been known to leave their borders coming here? it will be a brand new start to everyone present." he removed Yuki's top layer, the baby hanging limply from his hands as he did so. "poor thing's really tired, isn't he?" he shook his head a little and walked into the kitchen which was slightly less busy than i had been. "do we sneak through again?"

Ruik flushed bright red, covering his eyes, "AMELIA!" he turned away, not letting himself get tempted, "i am a man, you know! don't go bearing yourself so casually!" she called for him to bring her more drink and he groaned, "i can't. not while you are undressed, get it yourself or put your clothes back on!"

Leo nodded and worked on filling the bottles, "We should go and change after we feed them, just so we are ready. and-" he licked his lips and he held two bottles in one hand, "and i want your approval of the outfit."

Ruki groaned, "i am still a man, and just because i prefer men doesn't mean i don't find a female's body appealing!" oh god, she was moving closer, he could hear her. "i beg you, put on your clothing! i'll put out the fires if it's too hot." he desperately wanted a drink, but he'd have to look to find his goblet and he didn't dare do that.

Leo nodded, giving Yuki his bottle as they walked, "afterwards, so that you will know what would look best." they walked into their room and he saw a long thin package wrapped in cloth with another more square package on top. he took in a deep breath before smiling at Elliot, "Hasta works fast. he and Pasa have volunteered to hold the babies during the ceremony, i guess they don't trust a maid with their masters." he shrugged and sat down, finishing off Yuki's bottle. he tried to give the baby a second, but he didn't want it so Leo burped him and took him to his crib. he stilled when he got there and picked up a third package with a note. it was from his mother.

For the twins. they need something nice to wear too!
Love,
Mom

Leo smiled a little, "looks like the boys will have special outfits as well." he shook his head and lay Yuki down, the baby happily curling into his blanket and going back to sleep. "Right-" Leo picked up the packages of his own and moved to the bathroom, "i'll just-change in here, then." he smiled at Elliot before hurrying into the room and shutting the door behind. he opened the packages and stared at the clothing for a long moment before building his courage and starting to dress.

Ruik nearly jumped out of his seat, "what are you-?" he half screeched, but the heavy weight in his lap told him exactly what she was doing. "Am-Amy stop! Oh god-" his hand was moved from over one of his eyes and pressed to something that was warm and extremely soft with a harder point in the middle. "Amy," he was almost in tears now, not wanting this. he was gay. he liked men, he couldn't handle women. "Please-" he didn't want this. this was Amy! his friend, why was she doing this? "amy, you are drunk-and i'm not drunk enough. please? just get off my lap and we'll pretend this never happened.

Leo looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, not sure if this really was ok. he swallowed hard before stepping out into the main room, "Elliot?" he said softly, his eyes closing as he waited for Elliot's reaction, "it's-it's what the heir of Falia wears to-to important ceremonies. i-um, thought you would approve."

As soon as Amy was off of him, Ruik stood and grabbed the goblet, draining in in one long swallow. he had his back to Amy, the hand not holding his drink covering the embarrassing tent in his pants. "I'm sorry, Amy." he finally said, unable to look at her. "i'm sorry, i-" he shook his head and looked for more drink, but the bottle was empty and he didn't want to move his hand to open the second. "you don't have to work, let's celebrate. just-with our clothing on."

Leo clutched at the sword hanging from his side, "i'll go change. i'll just wear what i was going to anyways. i'm sorry-" he quickly turned to retreat to the bathroom, embarassed and ashamed that he'd worn something like this.

Ruik shook his head, "i already finished all of the things that need to be done for today. you don't have to work, we can do the rest tomorrow." he sighed and finally looked at Amy, smiling weakly, "i know, i'm a pathetic excuse of a man, but please bear with me."

Leo looked up at Elliot, surprised. he knew that look, it wasn't disgust or shock. Elliot was looking at him with full on lust. Leo smiled, knowing that his had been the right choice. "yes, you can do my hair, though I'm sorry that you won't be able to do anything too fancy with it. my normal styles wouldn't match the outfit well." he sat down at his stool and smiled at Elliot, knowing that there was something he could do for him to ease his need.

She disappeared and Ruik's heart sunk. "Amy-" he moved to kneel in front of her desk, "You-you might hate me for saying this, but you know this isn't your fault. it's mine, it is 100% my fault and i am sorry. please don't hide from me. please?"

Leo checked to make sure the babies were still asleep before he turned around, "let me help-" his hands were working at Elliot's pants, opening them, "we can't have sex, but i can help-" he smiled as his hand slipped in and he touched his husband, his mouth moving closer. "it'll be ok." he used his hand and his mouth to ease Elliot's need, finally pulling away once his husband had finished. he carefully tucked Elliot back in and closed his pants before turning back around, "a braid would be lovely."

Ruik looked down, "i lead you on, made you to believe-" he shook his head a little, "Amy, you are so kind and sweet and gentle, but because of me you are having a hard time and that-that is my fault."

Leo held stil as the braid was woven, watching Elliot work through the mirror. he didn't think Elliot would mind him wearing an outfit like this, but not in a million years had he expected his husband to react so strongly in a sexual way. maybe he should start wearing this clothing more often. when Elliot finished, Leo was surprised at the tightness of the weave. if one looked at him from the front, it looked like his hair was short, but from the back the thick braid trailed down to his ankles, his hair pulled down by it own weight. "it;s perfect, thank you." he turned and smiled at Elliot, his hand on the hilt of his sword, "I thought-since you had decided to make it known i am male, i thought i should begin to dress as one. we will not make progress if i am dressed as a woman at all times, this will help the people, i believe."

Ruik flinched a little when Amy yelled at him and the things she was working on slammed down. he pulled away and sighed, running his hand through his hair. things had gone so wrong, so very wrong and he knew that to be his own fault as well. "Amy?" he looked at her, smiling as gently as he could, "if-" he swallowed and steeled himself, "what you did-it was, I really did feel it. and-i, you might be right. i might not be completely gay...there may be-may be a part of me attracted to women as well. but-i'm not sure and i was wondering if, if you would be willing to help me figure it out?"
