[It was like, 3 in the morning, and Lio was laying in bed while restlessly typing this on his phone, the subject of the post laying next to him and almost certainly drooling in his sleep.]

To whom it may concern.

If you see an idiot firefighter running around the city shirtless at any point, look with your eyes, not your hands. Actually, I'd prefer if you kept your eyes above the chin.

He's mine.

[Happy first day of Sanguis!]

are you sure he's a firefighter, and not some other profession? pretty sure they're supposed to be mostly hands-on.

[burningfree]

I don't get it.

[exsecratum]

you sure? I can give you a couple more hints: they're usually half-naked, and the pretty popular ones dress up like law enforcement. it's kind of their job to inspire some... touchy feelings, though.

[burningfree]

.... No, I still don't get it. There isn't anything attractive about law enforcement

[Lio knew, somewhere, vaguely, in the back of his mind, what a male stripper was. But he'd been so far removed from popular culture for about 96% of his life that it genuinely wasn't clicking for him.]

oh, I know too many people who'd disagree with that. you can't tell me you don't like to see a man in uniform — really?

[ Was it better or worse that he wasn't getting it? Probably definitely better — but also it'd be pretty disappointing if he realized what Johnny was talking about and freaked out where he couldn't see. Would he freak out? Who knew? Disappointing either way. ]

final clue: they're usually accompanied by music and people throw money at them. starts with "s" and ends with "tripper"~ still not ringing any bells?

Given how often men in uniforms have tried to kill me, I'm really struggling to understand the appeal.

[Johnny literally spelling it out for him does make it finally click for him, though, and he was just a tad embarrassed it took that long for him to figure it out to begin with.]

Galo isn't a stripper. He's an actual firefighter. Do strippers even dress up like firefighters??

[That... that was an appeal he understood, though he really wouldn't have thought so one month ago, before he met the idiot one that stole his heart.]
