Drink up

THE MYSTERY TEA MEME

There's nothing like a nice, relaxing cup of tea. Right?

The Rules
1. Character 1 posts a comment including name/series/prefs/setup text (if desired).
2. Others reply, using RNG (1-23) to choose what kind of tea is being consumed.
3. ???
4. Profit. And fun.

GREEN TEA: Makes the drinker wiser. Bear in mind that wise doesn't necessarily mean smart.

JASMINE TEA: Turns boys girly, turns girls girlier.

EARL GREY TEA: Drinkers of this tea can't tell anything but the truth.

LADY GREY TEA: Drinkers of this tea can't tell anything but lies.

STRAWBERRY TEA: Causes uncontrollable hiccups.

MINT TEA: Causes a complete personality flip. Good is bad, bad is good, etc.

LEMON TEA: Instead of flipping personalities, suddenly gain someone else's personality.

CHERRY TEA: Ever saw a blushing virgin right before being deflowered? The people that drink this tea will show you how it's done.

CHAI TEA: Causes an uncontrollable need to dance, wherever you go.

OOLONG TEA: Causes an uncontrollable need to express everything in the form of a song. It might be a song you already know, or you might find you have a hidden talent for lyrics.

CHOCOLATE TEA: Effects may include: horniness, uncontrollable lust, more horniness, the need to take off clothes, a hoarse sexy voice, sweaty skin. (For the underage, causes uncomfortable heat and cheesy pickup lines.)

VANILLA TEA: Causes childish innocence, kindness, love of everything alive.

CARAMEL TEA: Have a little respect for your four-legged friends. Turns the drinker into an animal of the mun's choosing.

BERRY TEA: Ever wondered what it was like to be the opposite gender? You didn't? Too bad! Turns boys to girls and vice versa, complete with all the appropriate parts.

ROSE TEA: For the love of all that is good and shoujo, will the drinkers of this tea stop sparkling so melodramatically?

ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA: Not only will the drinker be more arrogant, snobbish and better than you, but they will also voice it. Loudly. Narcissism is encouraged. So is slapping them back to their senses.

CHAMOMILE TEA: This tea will calm you down to the point of apathy and sloth. Don't bother leaving bed, it's not even worth it.

DAFFODIL TEA: SUCH A CALM TEA AT FIRST SIGHT BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT MAKES YOU TALK IN CAPSLOCK?

THYME TEA: Suddenly your clothes don't seem to fit so well! Adult drinkers of this tea will be de-aged to childhood. Child drinkers will be aged to adulthood.

DARJEELING TEA: Causes the drinker to suffer severe delusions. They might just start to think they're the Queen of England, or a tree, or any number of things. I suggest you take videos for posterity and blackmail.

BLACK TEA: Causes blindness.

DECAF TEA: Sleep, who needs sleep?

WILD CARD: Choose a tea, mix and match, or invent your own!

You mean a precaution on the crew's part...

[AkaRed made the mistake once of letting Marvelous go shopping by himself, not long after he had first recruited the then-lad. He knows full well now just how bad of an idea it is to let his fellow Red do any kind of shopping by himself.]

Still, you m-maybe need to ask her that, j-just in case...

[Now that they know what's been causing this strange condition that leaves one unanswered question: how is he going to cure himself of it?]

[Okay, so AkaRed knows him well enough to know the real reason he doesn't get to do the food shopping, never mind!]

I dunno, I kind of like this tea, I think Ahim should keep buying it.

[Not that he's going to try any of it right now. While getting to relive the feelings and sensations of his first time might be fun, right now he doesn't need that contending with AkaRed's reactions. He needs someone to take him in hand, he just refuses to accept it yet.]

Offer's still open. The only way to stop feeling like a virgin is to have sex, right?

[LOGIC.]

[...well, he can't argue against him using sound logic (for once). And despite the old excuses still ringing in his mind, there's no denying the fact that Marvelous is freely offering to help.]

...usually, yes. B-But, you're sure you want to reteach this old dog? Even without this...condition, I may still be a little rusty.

[That's AkaRed's way of saying 'I'm having a dry spell that's the equivalent of the Sahara Desert.' Such is the result of always putting one's duties before such personal needs, even though he technically doesn't have to anymore.]

Edited 2016-01-12 15:39 (UTC)

[Marvelous has absolutely no sense of the idea of putting one's duties before sex. For a start, pirates don't have duties, they just do what they want! Secondly, he has in fact engaged in sex during missions and fights before... The adrenaline gives him such a rush! He shakes his head fondly.]

Oh, old man, you saying you don't remember how this goes? I can help remind you.

[And with that Marvelous unbuttons his waistcoat and drops it nonchalantly onto the floor. And if that isn't enough to jog AkaRed's memory then it's okay, because Marvelous's hands settle onto his belt next.]

[AkaRed gives him a look upon hearing that remark.]

O-Of course I remember! It--

[And then he pauses for a moment, trying not to choke on both his words and his pride.]

...it's been a very long...

[And his voice drifts off to silence as he realizes what Marvelous is about to do. That blush somehow deeps even further, if one can believe it.]

--Here? In the open?

[No need to be ashamed! Marvelous isn't going to judge. He doesn't understand how anyone can go a long time without sex without dying (or at least feeling like they're dying - it's a need as serious as hunger!), but that doesn't mean he thinks any less of people who do.]

Okay, it's been a while for you. Now I know. You don't need to worry about, I don't know, disappointing me.

[Marvelous isn't generally the most perceptive of people, so that's just a shot in the dark guess. He does grin at AkaRed's panic about doing it right there though, mock-rolling his eyes in amusement.]

Virgin boys, they always want to do it in a bed. [Marvelous reaches out for AkaRed's sleeve.] Come on them, come to the bedroom. Just try not to shoot your load before we get there.

[Virgins, they always come so quickly, too.]

[Of course, Marvelous wouldn't fully understand. Part of AkaRed didn't really expect him to. Still, it is a bit comforting to know that his old crewmate won't be judging him for it. At the very least, it helps to ease some of the tension out of his body. Though he does snort a little at that teasing.]

It's called having a sense of propriety. [At least, in Earth terms.] And I'm pretty sure that I have just a little more self-control than most other people.

[Was that him teasing Marvelous back as he lets himself be led by the sleeve? Probably.]

[Yeah, yeah; he gets that that comment was about him! Marvelous isn't going to get riled up by it though.]

If I had more self-control I wouldn't have made this offer and you'd just carry on suffering. [You should be grateful!]

[Marvelous pauses for a step so that AkaRed will come level with him instead of being dragged behind and then slips his arm through AkaRed's. It's a slow, deliberate movement that might serve to get AkaRed a little more flustered what with all the bodily contact starting to happen between the two of them. Not that he needs more flustered, but he should be prepared, since Marvelous is about to open his bedroom door.]

Why don't you make yourself comfortable on the bed? [And Marvelous will continue getting nice and naked.]

T-True...

[And there is a bit more flustering from feeling that arm wrapped around him. But it's nothing more than what he had felt during his real first time. And despite the rosy blush on his face, his eyes gaze at Marvelous in a mixture of gratitude...and affection.

AkaRed does slip inside, and despite his condition, a wave of nostalgia washes over him for a few moments. This used to be his own room, once upon a time, and he can't help but smile a little as each piece of furniture brings up a fond memory. The dresser that held the clothes he wore beneath his suit. The nightstand full of little mementos from his homeworld. The door leading to the private bathroom reserved for the ship's captain himself.

And the bed, large and soft... It only makes him a little more flustered as he snaps out of his brief reverie. The newfound jitters makes it difficult for his hands to remain steady enough to remove his own clothes.

[Marvelous isn't the type of person who expresses how he feels about people in tender sort of ways. He's the type to use tough love, except in extreme circumstances. Like Ahim crying. Like Hakase feeling useless.

This is another one of those extreme circumstances. That's all.

Marvelous has his shirt open and his belt unbuckled when he glances over and notices AkaRed trembling. He sets a neutral expression on his face and goes over to the man.]

No matter how you feel you've done this before, you know that. And you can trust me. I'll make it real good for you.

[It must be odd to see AkaRed look both flushed and a little ashamed at needing this kind of help. But that only lasts for a brief moment before subtle gratitude blooms over his face, pushing away the shame and calming his trembling body a bit.]

That is true... I trust you with my very existence.

[Even if they weren't in this kind of situation, he would still tell him that. Because it is true. Between the end of the Great Legend War and when the Gokaigers returned the Ranger Keys to their original owners, AkaRed was as much at risk of ceasing to exist as all the other Sentai were - though he'll insist that they mattered more than he did at the time. Thus, he feels that he owes a great debt to pay to Marvelous and his crew - even more so, when you add on the fact that they helped save his homeworld in the process.]

No need to get sappy, old man!

[Marvelous shakes his head, but he's grinning. As if he wouldn't enjoy a confession like that! It bolsters his already highly-inflated opinion of himself.

Slowly, Marvelous reaches out his hands towards AkaRed's shirt. He can already anticipate the flustered blushing that will come from the idea of being undressed by somebody, as though it's never happened before.]

You okay to let me help you out of your clothes? [His smile softens.] If you'd rather do it yourself I can wait.

[Yep, definitely flustered blushing as AkaRed feels those hands grabbing his shirt. Hence, the automatic, stuttering response.]

Y-you don't have to!

[But then he thought about it for a moment, and he slowly dropped his hands away from the shirt buttons.]

B-But if you w-want to...I-I don't mind.

[ Of course AkaRed doesn't mind being undressed by him. Marvelous grins. ]

Let's make a good show of this.

[ He actually murmurs the words rather than crows them, knowing the low tone will add to the nervous anticipation AkaRed is feeling right now. Then Marvelous actually takes his time undoing the shirt buttons - as deft as ever, since his fingers are so well-practiced at undressing people - but not hastily or in a rush. He knows how to treat a virgin. Even one who isn't really.

Is he even going to be nervous about revealing his body to Marvelous? That'll be interesting to see. Marvelous's eyes follow the slim strip of flesh down AkaRed's chest and stomach being revealed as he undoes the shirt, then flicks his eyes back up to see AkaRed's reactions.]

[AkaRed huffs humorously at that familiar quip. Trust Marvelous to use his key phrase when he could. Still, there is genuine, non-tea-inducing nerves as he's slowly undressed. He hasn't been this bare around anyone since...well, since he was a younger man.

Despite all that, though, Marvelous will find, to his joy, that his old mentor is still in top fighting shape. Well-toned muscles from the neck down bear small scars here and there, with a larger scar along his left shoulder. AkaRed is not ashamed of those scars; he is a warrior, after all. He is, however, blushing a bit as his shirt is slowly stripped off of his person.]

I...I hope it's to your s-satisfaction?

[ Marvelous shakes his head and chuckles; this is harder to deal with than he'd assumed it would be! But not in a bad way. ]

I wouldn't have expected you to be shy like this. About your body, I mean. I know the tea did something funny to you, but...

[ It doesn't matter. Marvelous lets his words trail off, appraising what he can see and smirking. ]

You look good. [Is Marvelous licking his lips? Yep.] You've survived a lot of dangerous situations...

[ That's always been known between them, but now Marvelous gets to trail fingers over a few of the scars and admire them, thinking about the close calls they represent and how hot that is. ]

W-Well, you're the first t-to see me like this in a long time...

[Yet despite the jitters and nerves, AkaRed hums approvingly at Marvelous' touch. A small, grateful smile spreads across his face as he slips the shirt off the rest of the way. Slowly, almost shyly, he leans in to give his companion a brief kiss.]

[ The first to have seen him naked, yes, but Marvelous has known AkaRed inside and out - figuratively - for a long time. This is another one of those viriginally-induced feelings, isn't it? Marvelous just smiles; a twist of the mouth ~~that's almost kind of fond~~.

At least assuring AkaRed has made him bold enough to lean in for a kiss! Marvelous could just about devour him, but he senses the gentle hesitation and keeps the kiss gentle.]

See, you want this; it feels good, right?

[Marvelous could make that kind of claim now. He's practically the only living person who could do so truthfully, after all their time together. First, as captain and apprentice; then, as fellow Reds and equals in rank. Much of it, though, has been Marvelous' insistence on spending so much time with him; AkaRed's never been one to simply give up details of himself so easily to just anyone.]

...yes. [Another blush, but not as bright this time.] Y-Yes, I do...with you.

[And then, he kisses his fellow Red again as his hands shakily try to unbutton Marvelous' shirt. The kiss is deeper, though just as gentle, and his hands do manage to get a couple of buttons undone before struggling with the third one. Still...it's some form of progress, right?]

I could make so much fun of you for all this blushing.

[ He won't, though. Marvelous knows the confidence of experience AkaRed would be carrying if it weren't for the strange tea. He'd still be nervous because it had been a while, sure, but he would rise above those concerns and believe in himself anyway! He isn't doing badly even so, to be honest. Another kiss, and even an attempt to undress Marvelous!

This isn't one of those times when Marvelous should just tear his own shirt open and let the buttons pop off. So he just lifts his hands to join AkaRed's fumbling ones and kisses him again, barely parting their lips as he speaks, murmuring against AkaRed's mouth and smiling.]

That's it, there you go, like that. More of that, I like it.

[That first part earns him a more flustered kind of blushing, along with a glare. But the glare is only half-hearted at best, since he's quick to realize that Marvelous really isn't the sort to do that to anyone.

At least, anyone that wasn't an enemy.

But AkaRed instead shivers in delight as he feels Marvelous' hands brushing and aiding his own, and also from the feeling of those words being spoken directly against his lips. It's enough to draw a soft, quiet moan out of his throat

Once the shirt is fully unbuttoned, he pushes it back in order to expose his fellow Red's chest, running his hands over all that skin. Though if Marvelous does look down a bit further, he will see the slowly growing bulge in the older man's pants.]

[Marvelous's enemies aren't the type to blush, more's the pity. Consensual teasing is fun though! Seeing that heat rising up to the surface or the skin, knowing that someone is thinking about you and feeling that way. Oh it's so good.

His shirt is unbuttoned. AkaRed's hands are on his chest.]

Fast learner! You can touch as much as you want; as long as it takes to get used to it.

[Yes he's smirking at that. Touch him as much as you need. Marvelous reaches out to place a hand on AkaRed's chest and slowly drag his fingers down, deliberately feeling every single muscle outline and scar, descending down towards his belt.]

You ready for more? [Or is this intensity too much too soon?]

Th-This is more like a refresher course.

[AkaRed huffs good-humorously, despite the pink tinge still on his cheeks. At least he's not as jittery as he was before; that is something important. And even though it has been too long, his hands aren't feeling up Marvelous' chest like a total virgin. Just someone who's rather rusty and hesitant after so long.

He does hum, however, as he feels Marvelous' hand trailing down his chest, letting loose a small gasp or two every time a finger brushes over one of his more sensitive spots. Nothing painful or uncomfortable for him; just the shock of feeling that sensitivity by someone else's hand that sends a shiver up his spine.]

I...I think so, yes.

You think? [Marvelous quirks an eyebrow; he's a stickler for consent, but he understands nerves and joking rather than outright reluctance.] If you're not sure I'll have to convince you. I don't have anyone in my bed who doesn't definitely want to be there!

[Marvelous drops his head swiftly but almost gracefully; graceful in the way of a predator, rather than a dancer. A fighter. Only this time he's a lover. He leans in to press his tongue against all of the lovely parts of AkaRed's chest that had made his breath hitch when they'd been touched. Not to mention swirling his tongue around his nipples to see how quickly they'll come to attention for the captain.]

Edited 2016-05-22 18:23 (UTC)

[AkaRed gasps with each spot being stimulated. But more importantly, each gasp is quickly followed with a moan. One hand curls its fingers into Marvelous' hair, but makes no effort to yank him off.]

M-Marvelous...

[God, part of him feels so nervous. But the rest of him wants this - needs this so badly, after going without this kind of contact for so very, very long.]

Please...
