(NSFW) After Episode 63

This is a long time coming, but following the tradition, here's a little snapshot of what things were like after the happenings of episode 63 of NPCs Can Save the World Too!

What isn't included is the copious amount of cheesy dialogue, as well as some not-so-cheesy conversations.

While Lucian initiated it (and Raff had no intentions of initiating things unless Lucian voiced his clear interest first), they're both aware the dynamic's skewing to Raff's side. Lucian owes Raff. Raff is doing a LOT for him when you take away the veneer of the equal deal they made. Not to mention he's quite literally able to physically overpower him.

I don't know if I've mentioned this, or if there was too much of an indication of this, but Raff is a stickler for rules. In the past, those were legal rules, nowadays they're self-imposed. For him, nothing is more important than maintaining a strict code of conduct he follows and that he expects everyone under him to follow. This all culminates in him being very particular in how he goes about things with Lucian. It's why their conversation on expectations and boundaries gets a bit lengthy haha. He very seriously sat Lucian down before things got too heated and for awhile, that mask of a corny, romantic guy was put aside. That, more than anything else, was what made Lucian feel comfortable and fully at ease. It was clear that A) Raff wanted this to be more than a one-time thing and B) he cared about Lucian's pleasure too. In the end, they had a good conversation on the basic stuff: what they wanted to do, how far they'd be comfortable going, what to say if they needed to slow down or stop, etc. etc. 

The big point of discussion was the fact that Raff's a top and Lucian was, up until that point, a staunch top as well. Like, at least Raff played around a lot to learn what he's into and not into. Lucian had never allowed himself to even consider that to be something he'd do in his past life. Even with Vigil, they'd never actually gotten too far. If you saw their canon tent scene, Lucian gave him one hell of a blowjob, more content to focus on Vigil's pleasure more than anything else, and stopped there. Since then, he'd thought a lot about what he was comfortable doing going from there. It's obvious in the story (I hope) that Lucian's more used to caring for others. He genuinely enjoys it, but he's finding out that. wow, being cared for, or, at the very least, being manhandled like he's something that needs to be held with care makes him feel..  a lot and he kind of really likes it. Raffaele in particular is very good at spoiling and caring for him. He's older and more experienced and it shows. Of all the people to have his first time bottoming with, Raff seems like a pretty damn good option.

So he trusts Raff to guide him through the process and it turns out to be a great decision. He'd expected Raff to do all the work admittedly, but he'd ended up verbally guiding Lucian through everything. Admittedly, it was very hot to have Raff watch intently while he loosened himself up so now he's got another new kink! Speaking of! At first, he'd jokingly called Raff his professor/mentor and Raff absolutely ran with that until they'd ended up in a pseudo-roleplay scenario. Raff is! So into roleplay! Obscenely into it! His whole thing in life is about wearing masks, both literally and metaphorically. Psychoanalyze him all you want! He just really likes having that sense of separation. And it's fun! It's fun to pretend to be something else for a while and explore and Lucian's clearly very receptive to it, so while it doesn't go very far, he's really happy to be able to indulge in it a bit and have someone who goes along with his whims.

It's a good time all around. Lucian couldn't have asked for a better first time with someone and Raff found a surprisingly compatible partner. Not to mention, this has opened the gates for Lucian and now he's realizing he's missed out on a lot and he really likes this different version of pleasure. Like, to the point Raff's surprised how responsive he is for a guy who refused to touch his ass up until this point LOL. Raff's a bit sad he can't be the one to indulge in Lucian's new interests and explore with him more. On the other hand, Vigil's about to get milked for all he's worth.

(That said, wait until Lucian finds out you can be more than a pillow princess. Unstoppable power bottom arc)
