It is. [ Shanks says, his enthusiasm dampening. But truly, he would given anything to have Mr. Rayleigh threaten them again. That would mean he's back in their lives, after all. ]

[ Of course, Shanks thought of him. He couldn't forget Buggy if he wanted to. ]

You're welcome. [ That said, Shanks leans in to kiss Buggy. ]

[He wasn't expecting the meal or the booze, or the hat. He might have been expecting kisses, but--

not like that. That feels a little too sweet, a little too--

something.

But he also doesn't stop it either, so. What does that say about him? He even returns it a little bit, leaning in and bringing up his spare hand to rest against the side of his face.]

[ It is sweet, and soft, with no intentions behind it. Shanks just had a need to touch Buggy's lips with his own. ]

[ He smiles into Buggy's return, the hand on his face, then, slowly, opens his eyes as he pulls back. ]

Happy birthday.

[Buggy smiles at that, softer as he pulls back. It is a happy birthday, actually, even without his crew that he's been missing since the day he arrived.

After a moment's pause, he goes to slip the beanie on his head because, why not? Shanks got it for him -- and at least this time, he doesn't tuck all his hair up under it. He does slip to his feet and move to Shanks with every intention of climbing into his lap and giving him another kiss.]

Yeah, yeah... [He chuckles.] I guess it is.

[ Pirates separated from their crew, the three of them are match in that, for sure. ]

[ Watching Buggy actually wear the beanie gets a softer smile from Shanks, something tinged with nostalgia. ] It looks good on you. [ Buggy starts getting into his lap, and Shanks welcomes him in. He puts his arm around him and moves into the kiss. ]

You guess? [ Shanks grins and sounds amused. ]

Is there anything else you wish for?

[They are, but--

Right now? He's not thinking about any of that. He's actually not thinking about anything at all as he tips his head in after the kiss, nuzzling into Shanks lazily as he settles in his lap.

The question has him humming, and then giving a soft hum. He tips his head back to nip at the other's earlobe, playful.]

Well, I suppose we could stay in...

[ The nip to his earlobe gets a slight shift in Shanks' hips. He makes a sound that's barely audible, but does sound eager and pleased. ]

If that's what you want, there are plenty of things we can do here.

[He nuzzles in a little more, peppers a few more little bites here and there.]

Oh? Anything you've been wanting to try, Red Hair?

[ Shanks looks away, because what he's been really wanting to do is explore Naked Yolk, more. But - ]

[ He looks back at Buggy with a big smile. ]

It's not my birthday. Let's focus on you.

[He reaches up to pinch at the other's cheek. Buggy isn't always the most intuitive person, doesn't always know how to read Shanks, but! He thinks he's learned a thing or two over years and years.]

Don't do that, dummy. Your attention on me. I'm the star. And I'm getting it. [Obviously, or he wouldn't be in Shanks' lap.] Now I want to know what you want.

You [ Shanks says while staring intently in Buggy's eyes ] have all my attention, I assure. [ His hand, on Buggy's waist, lifts a little to give him little more than a tap. ]

I just thought I wouldn't mind exploring Naked Yolk, more. But it doesn't have to be now. My only focus, today is pleasuring you, you attention whore of a clown.

[He knows it won't last -- not with Shanks. But he'll take it while he can get it. It's his birthday, and he doesn't really want to spend it in a foul mood. There's a chuckle, delighted as he gives Shanks another pinch--

And then he's pushing up to his feet.]

Not just for attention! [He corrects, flashing a playful grin to Shanks.]

Come on, then. Let's go. Just remember all that-- [He clears his throat and puts on his best Shanks accent.] "My only focus today is pleasuring you" promise, Red Hair.

[ It's not like Shanks can only ever focus on Buggy. There are other people in the world. But right now? Buggy really does have all of it. Shanks chuckles, right back, and squeezes Buggy's hip when he's pinched. ]

Of course, not. That's right. Greedy clown.

[ Buggy gets up, and Shanks follows him, without even questioning it. He gives another laugh to the impression. ]

I'm not going to forget. I just made it.

I'm a pirate! Of course I'm greedy. But you -- [He points at Shanks as he takes a step back back towards the door.] are going to benefit from it today!

[Maybe this wasn't meant to be a hookup after all, but-- Shanks definitely did a good job of getting him in the mood, and Buggy is too selfish to let his attention drift in any way right now.]

So, what were you wanting to explore more of when we get here anyway?

Me? [ Shanks gives Buggy a soft, but confused smile to that. He isn't going to refuse, though. If that's what Buggy wants to do, well, then, Shanks welcomes it. ] Very well. As long as we get drinks at some point in between, too.

[ As for what to do at Naked Yolk - ] You could always tie me up, again. Or I could tie you up.

[ The short answer is, clearly, bondage, and he doesn't seem to care which direction that goes, either. ] Or, we have time. I don't see why we can't do both.

Well, yes. We're both going to enjoy ourselves, right? [And Shanks is getting sex out of it either way. So, benefits both of them!

The question has him nodding his head.]

No reason to hurry through. We can try it both ways.

We are. [ Shanks assures Buggy of that with a smile. At least, he plans to enjoy himself, no matter what. ]

Both ways it is, then. But I go first, since it was my idea.

And here I thought I was the birthday boy.

[It's not an actual complaint. Just a little playful bickering.]

Fine, you go first.

You are. Which is why you shouldn't have let me pick.

[ Shanks is clearly amused and teasing when he says that. If Buggy really wanted to go first, Shanks would trade with him. He just has to say so. Otherwise, he likes the idea of leaving Buggy's experience for last. To tease him, take him, and leave Buggy utterly, thoroughly, hopefully, pleased. ]

[That gets Shanks a playful push. Buggy is looking forward to it, either way. But Shanks better be prepared for a long night! Buggy isn't letting him go until he's satisfied.]

You better not be betting on an early night then!

[ Shanks' lips curl up, high and tight. ]

I certainly wasn't.

[ With that, he leads the way into the Naked Yolk, where they can pick their restraints. Or, well, Buggy can. ] As it's your birthday, you can pick what you restrain me with, and what you wish to be restrained with.

[He hums thoughtfully. He hadn't really thought of it, actually... Well.]

The leather restraints, maybe. Last time we used rope...

[So they should change it up! Obviously. They don't want to be boring.]

You can use whatever you want on me. It's keeping me in place that's hard... pretty sure they don't have seastone here.

[ Shanks' eyes slip to the ground when Buggy mentions seastone, though he looks back up to give Buggy a weak smile, soon enough. ] I wouldn't want to use it, anyway.

I'll just use the leather, then.

[ He picks out four cuffs and gives Buggy a grin. ] Shall we?

[He rolls his eyes at the assurance, giving a smile.

If there was anyone he'd rust with seastone, it'd be Shanks... if his tattoo isn't dark, at least.]

Leather, then. [He nods his head.]

Let's find somewhere private, then.

[ Shanks would hate the idea of Buggy being miserable and weighted down by the draining feel of seastone. Yes, as long as his tattoo isn't activated. ]

Of course. [ He grins for Buggy and cants his head to the back. It doesn't take long for them to get situated in a private room with a bed, made especially for the restraints. There are also, like usual, toys, whips and knives laid out to pick from for a little torture. ]

[ Shanks hands Buggy the restraints. ]
