After that was all said and done, they had discreetly slipped back to Bulba's room for a bit more time on their own. Bulba felt a bit more at ease now that it had been affirmed that yes Green knew, and yes they had as much blessing as Green was willing to give. Even if Bulba had prepped Green for the idea already, it had still been pretty nervewracking when it came down to it.

But whatever his feelings were, he realized they paled in comparison to what the other Venusaur was feeling. The words "that's not fair" stuck with him, because it wasn't. This was something he needed to check up on.

"That went well," he started softly once it was just the two of them, because it actually did go relatively well all things considered. "Are you holding up ok?"

Despite how good his efforts were, which were pretty good, it was still kind of obvious that Vinnie was not quite as good as he was trying to imply. Bulba came up in front of him, loosely looping his arms around the other saur's waist. The gold of his eyes were trained somewhere around Vinnie's collar as he bit his bottom lip in a slightly guilty fashion.

"...It feels like I'm rushing you," Bulba admitted. "Which I don't want to do. I know... I know how hard this can be."

"I'm okay with waiting," he replied. "I mean, I want to be honest as soon as we can too but... I don't want to be selfish and unfair to you. It's nerve-wracking, isn't it?"
rivalsolarbeam: (casual looks)

[personal profile] rivalsolarbeam 2013-12-11 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, yeah, that's spot on," Bulba said with a small laugh. "It's usually never that bad but you get yourself all revved up about it anyway, because there's no way to really know." Now he was speaking with plenty of experience. Every time coming out had been a thing, his thoughts had been rampant and his fears cold in his chest. Some of them had been unwarranted, he was able to reflect later, but some not so much.

"It only gets easier but... it's really hard to shake the memory of things gone wrong, even when everything else is going right."

Bulba shifted a bit closer to rub his forehead against Vinnie's, sighing softly.

"... I'm really glad I had someone with me this time."
rivalsolarbeam: (dramatic lighting of concern)

[personal profile] rivalsolarbeam 2013-12-11 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Bulba raised his eyes to meet Vinnie's, understanding. "For the most part, no. I was surprised, actually, but a lot of people just didn't really care. I think the person who gave me the hardest time about it was myself, really." He glanced down, grinning a bit sardonically at himself.

If things hadn't been the way they were now, it would have been a lot harder to talk about. If there hadn't been living, thriving (well okay it was sleeping now but) garden in the forest to prove that everything had gotten better since then, thinking about the memories would have stung much deeper. "I mean, it doesn't always work out. Char kicked me out when I told him. Couldn't stand the sight of me and left without telling anyone. It was the worst. I thought I had messed everything up but..."

Bulba shut his eyes tight, recalling the fights and bitter exchanges and everything that had happened in between. With a sigh he raised them again, studying Vinnie's intently. "... he just needed time. You're not any different than you were before." He raised a hand, gently brushing some of the green from the older saur's face with his fingers.

"You're still Vinnie. Even if someone hates the idea, if they really care about you they'll come around. It just takes some patience sometimes."

He didn't have any idea how to approach the topic of Red team. Bulba hardly understood any of them anymore, save Sonny. It was more effective to just address what he (thought he) knew.

"It's just something new."

Bulba reached up with both hands now, gliding skin against skin as he cupped Vinnie's face to lift his gaze back up towards his. "You already have relationships with them, and they are what they are," he said, mimicking what Green had said earlier in a firm tone. "If I don't have to dump yours and Jolt's butts into a wheelbarrow next week I'll probably have to buy a new hat cause I'll be eating one of mine. And I honestly don't think I could stop you and Char from throwing punches at each other even if I tried."

"... I can't say things won't change," he admitted, frowning just a little. "Your guess is probably as good as mine about how but... You're definitely going to be more than just a boyfriend. You're Vinnie first."

And then he grinned at him, broad and toothy. "No one's going to let you off easy just because I like you, don't worry about that."

Bulba relaxed at the sight of Vinnie's smile, though it didn't last for too long. As good naturedly as Vinnie had intended it, mother henning was still the shiny saur's lifeblood.

"... He hasn't been doing that thing where he skips it again has he..."

The thing Bulba was evidently already acquainted with.
