[Divinitate]

Sitting was agony.. his ass hurt like there was no tomorrow. The longer he sat the more it hurt. He could almost feel it bleeding again... That was something that he was ashamed of. Nothing else from the night before, just the bleeding and pain he was in now. He silently listened to Penelo and Balthier talk about past escapades. It was... amusing. To say the least. He managed to smile a few times, and was honestly glad when the young woman asked Balthier to go look at her outfits. He could slip away then... Though he knew that leaving Fran alone would be rude so he remained sitting when the other two left.

...He should have left. No sooner were the two gone then the Viera looked at him, much as she had the whole meal, and asked the question he had dreaded the most. Cheeks going beat red, Basch stared at her intently for several moments. Gulping he looked down, then away, shifting once more. "I...It..." He started, chewing his lip a long moment as he gathered his thoughts and tried to make it sound flattering for Balthier... He didn't want Fran to think ill of the man. "We were drunk... so I took him to my place, so that he wouldn't end up doing something foolish... But when...when we got there... He fell on me... I kissed him.. he kissed me... One thing led to another and I..." Cheeks reddening even more his eyes wide at the memory.

He slowly looked at Fran and saw that she was still waiting for his full answer. "I pressured him... He was drunk, and I wasn't nearly as drunk as he... His kiss sobered me, actually... Bu-but I...I..." He looked back down, his shame obvious. "I coaxed him into sex. He took my virginity and made me bleed. When we woke this morning I told him I didn't regret it. And I don't. I... wish it could happen again, only more gently... But Fran... he's...He said it was disgusting, that two men like this..like last night... God I'm so deplorable. I forced him into this and..." He groaned softly, trembling as he laid his head on the table.

This was one of the first times he'd ever been open emotionally to anyone, and it was about him possibly being gay.. In this moment he was so glad that Balthier had left, he knew e'd of broken more if the man was here/
