The Van Chronicles ((Van & Bale))

[ode]

"Should you not be... dressed?" he asked, feeling an uncomfortable twinge in his stomach at the sight the man presented.

[praiseofblood]

"Socks and boxers man, all I need today," Bale grinned as he bent over into one of his boxes.

[ode]

Van's mouth fell open at the tightness he felt in his groin at the sight and immediately backed up. Van had literally NEVER felt desire and it made him insanely uncomfortable. "I, um... Thank you for your hospitality but I really must get going."

[praiseofblood]

"Oh, you not gonna hang with the underling today?" Bale asked, poking his head out of the box.

[ode]

"No. I... You make me uncomfortable," he said with a frown and headed to the door.

[praiseofblood]

Bale blinked. "Whoa, that was harsh." Bale looked down at his lean, slightly sculpted body. No, no boner. His boxers were clean. Hmmmm.

[ode]

"Not harsh. Honest," he said, pausing to stare down at his own extended appendage. He knew men got hard and that was part of sex but he had never experienced it, never experienced sex and as a result did the only thing he could figure on doing - heading home and waiting it out.

Bale looked at the man and then down to his tented jeans. "Oh, that kind of uncomfortable." Bale said, "Well, I must say, I'm flattered, stud." he winked.

[ode]

Van frowned, unsure what to say. On the one hand he supposed the man should feel appreciative that he had incited feelings in him that no one ever had and on the other, he didn't much like that he was having this problem. "I suppose that is acceptable."

[praiseofblood]

Bale chuckled. "You've never had a boner have you?"

[ode]

"I have never had an 'erection', no," he said, not embarrassed at all by the mere fact. "In fact, i am having a difficult time understanding why I am burdened with such a thing now."

[praiseofblood]

Bale chuckled. "It's because you find me attractive."

[ode]

"I find you interesting, I will admit, though I am unsure why," he said with a shrug. "But I also find you rather, well, annoying."

[praiseofblood]

Bale snorted. "I find you completely annoying, but I know you can't help it."

[ode]

Van grunted. "If you will excuse me I will go watch monotonous television and wait for my issue to go away. Good day."
