The sprite left as quickly as he'd come, without another word.
Luca, meanwhile, had a scrapbook open and was filling it with pictures. He was sitting crosslegged on his bed (which was rumpled) with the book in his lap.

Lori just stood there. He threw an arm up and then just let it drop. So that was it? He was just left with all of this questionable information? If Luca really had just slept with that little waif of a man... He really had enjoyed the sex, hadn't he? It'd seemed like he did. Not his type...?
Lori headed back to Luca's on the normal schedule, but the surprise of coffee was undoubtedly going to be a bit hampered by the surprise of 'what the hell is going on.' He knocked on Luca's door, even though he didn't really want to face the man at this moment.

Luca opened the door, and spotting Lori, gave him a bright smile. "Hey!" he greeted. Oh, coffee! "I was finishing something up." Scrapbooking was definitely something he wanted to do more of in the future.

Lori managed a small smile for Luca.
"I brought coffee," he said, holding up the cups. "Can we, um... can we talk about something?"

Luca's smile faded slightly. 'Can we talk' was a scary phrase. It tended to lead to break ups. "Yeah, of course," He said, leading Lori to the couch.

Lori didn't sit. He just stood there.
"This is really, really ******** up." Fair warning. "Have you ever cheated?"

Well. That hadn't been what he'd expected, but somehow that question hurt so much more than he would've thought. His eyes were wide. "Why would you ask that?" he asked, quietly. "I never have."

"I don't mean just on me. I mean on anyone. Succubus notwithstanding." He wasn't really concerned about something that could magically make you screw it being some sort of actual infidelity.

"I never have," Luca repeated, and grew quiet. He took a sharp, painful breath. It felt as if his heart had leapt into his throat. His eyes were filling, and he looked away from Lori. "I wouldn't."

"I didn't think so, but..." He huffed and put a hand to his forehead as if the room was suddenly too bright.
"Are we gonna work out?"

But what? Had someone talked to Lori? Lied? Had he come up with this on his own? He looked up at Lori. "I'd like to," He said. He was in love with the man, dammit. "I thought we were doing well."

"We were! I mean, we are!" Unless they weren't, of course. "I thought we are? Am I even your type? Top-heavy succubi and twinky little..." He huffed. He was making himself angry. He was thinking of Eric, of finding him in bed with a twinky little ******** as if Lori was somehow not enough, even when he went outside of his own comfort zone. Of course he'd pick someone else like that.
"Maybe it's just moving too fast. They say 'you'll know when you're in love' but it's only been a few months. Maybe I'm wrong."

Luca swallowed. Type? Had Lori looked up his exes? Had the succubus spoken with him? "I don't have a type. I..." He took another breath. "I go for people when I think I've seen their heart."
"Maybe," he agreed hollowly. It'd been the best few months of his life.

Lori ran his hands back through his hair. Luca had mentioned liking it this length. Longer. Before it was more feminine, or...?
Then there was that little sine of the Luca he knew. 'Seeing their heart.' Sure. Except he knew Luca's most recent ex and that woman had no heart to speak of, and if what the guy said was true?
Lori shook his head. "I don't know any more. You still say you didn't cheat on me yesterday?" He finally looked up to Luca. "Or with some girl beforehand? And some guy before that?" Was Luca really that promiscuous?

Luca stood then, trying to catch Lori's eyes. He really thought he'd cheated? He rubbed an arm over his face, not caring how it looked, and a sob escaped him. "No. I never did." Never. Never. He wiped at his eye. "The only people I was with were Dari and Maia, and I was working on your Christmas present with her!"
He turned away from Lori, covering face with his hands. "I'm sorry you think so little of me."
