"So...about the other day..." Justin scratched his head. He sat up in bed, pulling the blanket away from Rapp's tan and scrawny form. He was startled all over again and blushed at his friend's naked body. He hadn't realized that Rapp was still as bare as the day he was born. Even after the previous night's drunken fumbling Justin had managed to crawl back into his underwear before he passed out into sleep.

"...Do you usually sleep in the nude?" He couldn't help but substitute this question for the more serious one he had been planning on asking first. First things first, right? There was no way he was going to be able to focus on anything else until he got that out of the way.

"Uh," Rapp rolled over and began to pick his nose, "When it's warm enough. And back home that was basically all the time." When he took his hand away from his face he smiled. Justin envied his peacefulness regarding the entire situation. Rapp didn't expect anything in particular from him and he didn't look like he had any regrets either. The sort of feline boy slipped out of the covers and clambered over Justin and just walked around picking up his shed clothing and dressing like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Even by the light of day, Justin had to admit he looked pretty good. "Anyway," he brushed away the awkward thoughts all of this stirred up and returned to his previous topic, "About last night...We're cool, right? It was just one of those things? No one has to let Feena know about it?"

"Last night?" Rapp's expression was blank and confused, almost like he didn't remember what had gone on. But there was no way he really couldn't remember. "Yeah," he shrugged at last, "It's cool. Nothing happened. Nothing anyone's got to talk about. Jus, I know how it is. You don't hafta get so nervous and worked up about a little thing like that. It's not like we're living good and settled lives in some town. It's always like this on the road. It's just one thing one day and another thing another. Ferget all about it."

It was easier for Rapp than he had realized, wasn't it? Justin nodded dumbly. "Uh, yeah. Okay. Good."
