Koa
Isn't it messed up,
How I'm just dying to be him?
How I'm just dying to be him?
It takes an immense deal of concentration for Koa to continue making adult decisions, especially as Jude does everything except proposition him outright. "There is something to be said for putting yourself in capable hands." Shut it down, his smarter self screams silently, though any alarm bells are thoroughly muted by the buzz of sweet liquor and the curve of Jude's smile. It's so damn easy to fall into the lull of flirtation, especially in a place like this, especially when there's a face like that peering up at him. The rosy flush on freckled cheeks, the deliciously endearing balance between boldness and naiveté - all of it feel calculated to appeal to Koa's weaknesses, his deep-set need to rescue maidens and be rewarded by their adulation, their desire.
Still trying to regain his composure, Koa leans in against the bar top, effectively creating a bubble of space for himself and Jude in the crowd. "But there's also a lot to be said for romance. Especially if there's someone else already on your mind."
Which is meant to mean Sohalia, but ah, nope, here comes Jude, turning Koa's determined morality back onto its head. Because there's absolutely no misconstruing what the young man is saying, no ignoring the overt implication that what Jude wants is him. And Koa? Koa wants to be wanted, and it would be a bald-faced lie to say he hasn't thought of Jude, imagined if the lips he now can't stop staring at are as soft as they appear.
Another drink appears before him, uncalled for but not unwelcome; Koa downs it in a single gulp, desperate for time and the hazy morality that comes from being drunk. "And if I am?" he finally answers, an eyebrow raised in playful challenge. This is all just talk, after all. It's not like Jude really wants to get fucked tonight.
Right?

I'm just a notch in your bedpost,
but you're just a line in a song
