NOTE: This has been copied from its original post verbatim, including misc jabber before/after.
since so many people (on both LJ and DoA) came out of the woodwork to comment on the first part, i’m posting the 2nd a little earlier than i was planning n_n thank you so much for the comments!! enjoy!
just to clear up a few misconceptions before we start:
– alister is single!! as far as he knows, gwen hates him and/or is mad at him.
– he is also currently doped up on strong sedatives.
– he isn’t a 10-year-old or something lol he knows what sex is, has had sex previously (though not much), and homg… is a guy. just because his anxiety is as bad as it is now doesn’t mean it’s ALWAYS been this bad.
– please don’t confuse his anxiety for some form of innocence. he did grow up homeless, after all. a lot of what may seem like innocence or propriety is him overcompensating for what he feels like he’s lacking, combined with being uncomfortable around people.
– chase is not a hussy. women have libidos too, trufax.
as for why alister, who is like ZOMGNOTOUCHIE, would agree to sleep with somebody he just met the day before…? please put a little more thought into my characters and the stories, because there is a perfectly legitimate explanation (which was presented within the past three photostories) that you’ve obviously missed. i don’t mind when people just read the stories without giving them much thought, and i certainly don’t expect you to over-analyze what goes on in the characters’ heads as much as i do (that’s my job, not yours) but it is upsetting when people say they’re angry at a character for doing something that is perfectly reasonable for them to be doing.
(like all the crazy shit sparrow does… as i’ve said before, she very rarely is how she seems on the surface)
anyways, with that out of the way, let’s get on with the story lol
PS: sorry this gets pretty wordy towards the end. blame sarah!
PPS: they’re naked.

Alister, “Um… thanks.”
Chase, “My pleasure.”
