"But...you're a baby." Cody was still stunned. "So your people...they're adults when?" Maybe they were like dogs and were fully mature at two.

"It depends on how much fluid each person gives, and what they give. You could have an immediate adult, or an infant to coddle and feed. Sharing fluids is a very, very meaningful connection so, uh." He smirked awkwardly. "Surprise?"

"You can make more people?" Cody blinked. "Do you need more than one?" A little-Dari running around appealed to him; but that'd be much later if it happened at all. "Oh..." Cody scratched his head awkwardly and blushed. "And that was your first time, too..."

"My people lack gender and reproduce asexually by mingling fluids or expelling fluids... that sounds terrible, but it's all membranous? It's normal for me, anyway."
"...yes. So it meant quite a bit, but I didn't want to weird you out."

Cody kissed Dari's cheek. "Stay with me tonight?" he asked. "We could go up to out mountain, maybe."

"I'd like that," Dari said, shifting his weight and rolling over on top of Cody. He grinned. "I really thought I'd lost you."

"I thought I'd lost you," Cody said. "It took me a few hours to realize how stupid I'd been, but it took me days to strike up the courage to call Toby." he paused and kissed Dari again. "I'm so sorry I upset you, baby."

"I'd be upset too if I were you. You just looked like you were going to cry or scream. I thought I'd better get away before either of those things happened." He kissed Cody on the chin, then on the lips.
"I'm sorry it all had to happen like this."

"I did cry," Cody admitted. He returned the kiss and smiled softly. "I cried and flooded the apartment. You should see the damages." He tsked and shook his head. "We're together. That's what's important."

"I did too," Dari said as softly as Cody's kiss, "but you're right. We're here and that's all that matters."

More time has passed than Toby was comfortable with without any sign of Dari. He wasn't sure if Dari was just staying the night, or if he was a puddle on Cody's floor. He doubted the latter, but it didn't soothe his mind.
He called his own phone from Maia's and waited while it rang.

Dari's hands were covered in dough; so Cody answered. He expected Maia to be on the other line, and hesitated. "Hello?" he asked.

"Hey, Cody. Is Dari there?" He'd damn well better be.
Dari meanwhile heard Toby's voice and continued working the dough.

"Yeah," Cody smiled. "He's staying the night, everything's good now." He was so relieved! He'd worried this would ruin them, but it'd made them stronger.

"Oh, alright. Can I talk to him for a minute?" Toby lacked the sort of hearing Dari had and couldn't hear anyone else in the room. Dari, however, heard Toby, smiled, and rolled his eyes.
