[ Yuri knows him well -- just like he knows Yuri well -- so once the question is dropped, Flynn doesn't make an effort to pretend nothing's wrong. Flynn sighs, and then rests his hands on his knees. ]
[Yuri raises an eyebrow, observing Flynn's every movement. There's a lot Flynn doesn't actually say that can be read in how he tenses up, his posture. He gets the feeling it's...serious.]
[ Flynn sighs again. He remembers how Yuri felt back then, when he'd ordered his knights occupy Nordopolica... He has a feeling Yuri won't take this revelation too well, especially considering the relationship they've eased back into... ]
I... that was the plan, Yuri.
[ Another pause. ]
Remember back at Aurnion, when we had our... reunion.
[ Probably blushes a little here. That's putting it lightly, they pulled an all-nighter then and he'd had to, embarrassingly, tell Sodia he was taking a day off on account of helping Yuri develop a new arte the whole night... ]
Yuri, the only reason I'd improved is because, while I was in the knights--
[ And it's unsaid but they definitely weren't screwing after Yuri left the knights... it just happened that way. Flynn was busy with work, Yuri was busy making trouble in the lower quarter... ]
I was- .... with someone else.
[ He pauses as he tries to get the "Who" out... leaving an open for Yuri to cut in ... ]
[It stings a little, but they're not in some-- deep, meaningful relationship. One day Flynn's going to find someone he loves, someone he deserves. That's-- fine. Yuri's accepted that. He doesn't want Flynn to be attached to this- this weird relationship they have.]
[ The implication that he followed Alexei because he's in a relationship with him riles Flynn a bit... Yuri gets a frown! ]
I know how to separate work with pleasure, Yuri. I'm not telling you this now so you can make judgments about my actions then.
The fact that I was in a relationship with my superior then doesn't change the fact that I... genuinely believed he had good intentions for the Empire.
[ Flynn doesn't protest to that kiss, especially when Yuri's such a good kisser-- after that though, he breaks away, just enough to be able to mumble to Yuri- ]
I'd prefer if you got to this without resorting to sitting on my lap.
[ Represses a little shiver from those kisses and then grabs Yuri by his wrist. He pushes Yuri down then and pins him down on the bed. Then he smiles. ]
[And Yuri nearly loses it- damn Flynn for knowing, well, everything about him. Including one of his biggest weaknesses. He shudders, arching up toward Flynn as suddenly he doesn't remember what they were even talking about.]
[ Flynn laughs and then continues kissing and toying with that nipple so he can remove that obi wrapped around Yuri's hips without Yuri resisting... much. ]

I swear, if you say I got worse or anything--
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 07:21 am (UTC)[ Firm voice... and frown at you. ]
This is serious, Yuri. And... for the record, I'll forgive you-- whatever reaction you throw at me after this.
I understand I should have told you earlier...
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 07:24 am (UTC)[Yuri scoots up closer again and peers into Flynn's eyes. Flynn's eyes could never lie.]
Tell me.

Date: 2012-01-03 07:27 am (UTC)[ Then pause, look into Yuri's eyes. ]

Is that it?
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 07:32 am (UTC)Okay fine, it's sort of a trap!Flynn manages not to snark at Yuri for that, though. Time to drop the bomb. ]I was with the Commandant.

No wonder you followed his orders so easily.

Date: 2012-01-03 07:52 am (UTC)[Have too much faith in people...
Yuri stands, turning his back to Flynn. He trusts Flynn more than anyone in the world-- but he also hates Alexei more than anyone in the world.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 07:56 am (UTC)I've been meaning to tell you earlier, but I wasn't sure how to bring it up.
[ Especially since, yes, you clearly hate the guy. ]
Or rather, I knew how you would react.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 08:03 am (UTC)[He sighs, shakes his head before turning to face Flynn. He stands in front of him, thoughtful.]
He's dead. There's nothing more to that.

Date: 2012-01-03 08:07 am (UTC)That's not all, Yuri, is it?
[ You can tell him everything. In fact, he'd rather you do. ]

no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 08:17 am (UTC)Flynn is obviously taken by surprise... sort of. He's gotten used to Yuri using this as a cheap distraction.
Because.
It.
Always.
Works.

Y-Yuri!
[ He shifts uncomfortably but that just seems to get Yuri a better spot on his lap...... ]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 08:20 am (UTC)[He smirks. His hands caress along Flynn's jawline before pulling him up for a kiss.]

Date: 2012-01-03 08:21 am (UTC)You're cheating. Again.

Date: 2012-01-03 08:24 am (UTC)[And he just kisses along Flynn's jaw, enjoying himself.]

I believe this position is better.
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 08:35 am (UTC)[Though Yuri really likes being on top-- sigh.]
Now are you going to kiss me or just stare at me?
[A challenging look.]
no subject
Date: 2012-01-03 08:42 am (UTC)n_n ]
I have a better idea.
[ And this is where Yuri gets flipped, and then Flynn is behind him, kissing his neck while a hand plays with a nipple ]

Date: 2012-01-03 08:55 am (UTC)Who's cheating now?

Date: 2012-01-03 09:04 am (UTC)[ Flynn laughs and then continues kissing and toying with that nipple so he can remove that obi wrapped around Yuri's hips without Yuri resisting... much. ]
