Directional Transformation
"You know," Ed said, thoughtfully, "I bet I could blackmail you with this."
Roy shifted against the bed as Ed’s metal fingers pressed deep into him. "But then we’d have to stop." He laughed, husky. "And you don’t want that any more than I do, right?" He moaned low in his throat as steel opened him up again, hard and cool, and he pushed his hips up and back.
"Oh, so you don’t enjoy it enough to keep doing it anyway?" Ed asked, elaborately innocent, and twisted his fingers deep in Roy’s ass.
"Ahh!" Roy pressed his forehead against the smooth sheets, panting with the rush of heat. "I would regret stopping a very great deal," he murmured, spreading his legs wider.
It was the truth. There was nothing quite as electrifying as the feeling of Ed’s steel fingers pushing into him, fucking him, sleek and hard and nothing like any other touch he’d ever felt.
"Hmmm. Well, that’s nice to hear anyway." Ed’s tone was edging back toward the thoughtful again and his other hand was wandering over the curve of Roy’s ass, stroking behind his balls. Roy grinned, wryly. He’d probably taught Ed how to tease and provoke a little too well for his own good. He answered silkily, breath hitching as Ed’s fingers shifted inside him.
"I should–nnnn–hope so…"
There was a small pat of sound and Roy’s eyes widened as a ferocious tingle rushed down Ed’s fingers and into him, and those fingers shifted.
"Ed!" Roy clutched the bed, panting, as the touch inside him turned smoother, longer, bigger.
Much bigger.
"Ed…" Roy groaned, sprawled limply over the sheets, unable to focus on anything but the feeling of Ed’s hand in his ass–only not quite a hand anymore.
"So?" There was a wicked laugh in Ed’s voice. "What do you think about stopping now?" He drew back the slick, hard shaft and thrust it back into Roy and Roy moaned helplessly. It felt incredible.
"Please don’t stop," he managed, rather hoarse.
"Mm, I won’t then." Ed’s weight shifted on the bed as he settled behind Roy, and Roy breathed a faint sigh of relief that Ed wasn’t going to tease him with this.
Instead Ed fucked him, slow and hard and steady, and Roy lost his breath on a moan with every stroke. The hardness of steel inside him, absolutely unyielding, had always been a strange kind of touchstone–a sort of integrity in bed if nowhere else. Now what he could only think of as a steel cock was filling him, stretching him, working his ass until he was gasping.
And then Ed leaned down and whispered in his ear. "Maybe we should do this in your office sometime. Over your desk. Would you still not want me to stop?"
Roy’s imagination filled in the picture handily–his staff turning to look at the door as his moans echoed through it. Maybe even coming to check what was going on and seeing him lying over his desk with his uniform disarrayed and Ed’s steel pumping deep into his ass. A rough, breathless sound tore out of his throat as pleasure spiked through him and his body wrung itself out around the hard metal inside him.
It took him a while to catch his breath, especially since Ed left his hand inside Roy. When he did, he turned his head to trade a dry look for Ed’s triumphant smirk. "You’ve gotten much too observant."
Ed snorted. "Not like that was a hard one." He leaned into Roy, pressing his mouth to the curve of Roy’s shoulder. "You spend so much time in control. Making sure things work out." He released the transmutation and the jolt of receding energy made Roy gasp. "I know I get tired of doing that, anyway."
Roy smiled lazily and turned, gather Ed closer. "Once I’m recovered from your experiment we’ll have to see what I can do about that, then."
Ed suffered himself to be held. "Still think you’re weird."
"No weirder than someone with a taste for, say, being tied down until he can’t move," Roy murmured.
Ed turned very red.
Roy buried a grin in Ed’s hair, fingers stroking through it. "As soon as I’m recovered a bit," he promised.

From tenimyu, maybe. He was Ishida. And I see he voices Percy Weasley for the HP dubs and now I really want to hear that.

Date: 2006-07-13 02:36 pm (UTC)This anime though ... I don't think that anyone is actually seriously interested in changing Haruhi, not even Tamaki. Especially, the twins. I think they adore her just as she is. After all, she would be nearly as entertaining if she were any different.
I think I like the manga better, but this is not unusual. The anime has a tendency to embellish where embellishment is not necessary, but otherwise it's relatively faithful the manga. Even though it doesn't have the halloween episode, which makes me sad.
I love the fact that Tamaki is such a sweet, sometimes perceptive, ditz. He understands people's hearts but doesn't always get darker motives. I love the twins in all their devilish playfulness. (They are so my favorites. <3) I like this anime. I think the dynamics and what it says about sexuality and gender are fascinating. If you get a chance, check out the mangaka's commentary. It's hysterical.

Date: 2006-07-13 05:15 pm (UTC)And yes, though I still can't make up my mind whether I think the beach ep was a critique or a reinscription of gender roles. A little of both, I think, in that Tamaki meant "I was worried for you" but he himself can't detach that worry from Haruhi's girl-ness. *wry* Kind of along the same lines as him accepting her surface at the start and not twigging until he actually saw boobs. And I don't think that's a view that's really supported by the story, yet... in that particular episode, even Kyouya put it in those terms when he was trying to ring the wakeup bell over Haruhi's head.
... if that was, in point of fact, what he was doing, which I'm not one hundred percent sure of.
I think I'm talking myself into picking up the manga.

Date: 2006-07-13 08:51 pm (UTC)That episode was really interesting in the manga, I think. Because I don't quite like how it got translated in the anime. I mean, by the subbers, the lines were by and large the same. I think there were two things that she did 'wrong':
1) not understanding that by acting totally on her own and not calling for help even though they were right there was a cause for insult, hurt feelings, and worry and would have been cause for things regardless of gender. She worried them and then did not understand or apologize for that worry. That's something that I think Honey states. 'We were right there. You didn't call. We were worried for you and you did not acknowledge that worry or apologize for it.'
2.) the second part of what she did 'wrong' bleeds into or causes the first, which is stepping into a situation where she was not really able to deal with it. Because she is a girl. And smaller, and weaker, and bad things happen to girls. I think Tamaki would have let it go if she was a bad ass like Honey and didn't look it. But the fact that she isn't and that she needless put herself in danger and then did not even recognize that there was danger there in the first place. Well. I mean, I'd be mad. Yes, being open to gender ambiquity is cool and all but there are some basic facts. Like the fact that you are smaller, weaker, and can be hurt in some horrible ways. You can compensate for that, I think the anime says, like Honey, but you have to be aware of them. And not being aware of them is what she did wrong.
Or at least that is how I interpreted that episode. I think if I saw it any other way I would be upset.
I was mildly squicked by Kyouya's method of pointing out to her, but I think he might be right in that she wouldn't have really understood any other way. Kyouya though ... Kyouya is a complicated one. I think.
But then, maybe he's not and puts up a really good show.
I do love the fact that Tamaki takes pretty much everything at face value. If you tell him X he will believe it. Because there's no guile in him. He never really distrusts people, since he's never been hurt.

Date: 2006-07-13 09:35 pm (UTC)I think what fascinates me most, thinking about the beach, is the way Haruhi's responses are totally counter to the usual reasons for the 'girls don't fight' gender assumption. Because one of the things that squicks me worst about Japanese gender stereotypes is that Girls Don't Fight because, if they do, then it's all right for the men to not only rape them but beat them up too. If they don't fight... well, then they only get raped. It shows up a whole lot, and this was pretty classic. The club girls don't resist and were clearly in danger of rape but not beating. But Haruhi fought and was, herself, only in danger of getting beaten up--because she was presenting male. Yet she never considered that; it's like it just didn't register with her, that there was a difference or that she might have been at double jeopardy, though I think it did register with Tamaki. And also with Kyouya, who highlights that aspect.
Yet, even when it's explicitly rape that she's in danger of, she totally defuses it by knowing that Kyouya wouldn't. So she isn't in that kind of danger there, either, thanks to her judgement of who she can be vulnerable around. She escapes the usual gendered danger completely while courting the unusual one. Honey explicitly acknowledges that, and lays it all out for Haruhi, the real reasons why she was in danger and everyone was upset. Tamaki never really acknowledges it; it seems like he emphasizes the girl-danger without noticing the ways in which Haruhi sidesteps and defuses that.
And that's the part I get a bit squiffy about, because Tamaki is Our Hero, and the pure-hearted one. His values are the ones that are presented most positively in most cases. And he's also the one who has the biggest problem with Haruhi's ambiguity in all situations, and consistently envisions her in stereotypically feminine terms.
I think that's countered by the fact that it's Haruhi as she is that Tamaki really is in love with. Also by the fact that, when he is having his Not!Haruhi visions, he's clearly being an idiot. And yet...
Anyway. Yes, wonderfully complicated!

Date: 2006-07-13 10:36 pm (UTC)I think you can just change that to 'He's clearly an idiot.' He's sweet. He means no harm. He wants to help pretty much anyone who asks. But he fundamentally does not understand the real world. Have you gotten to the episode with the Newspaper Club? Because I think sums up Tamaki's inability to see things beyond the superficial level or what he wants to see. Where as the rest of the club does get the complexities of the real world and pretty much uniformly protect Tamaki from them. Because he doesn't understand and would only be hurt by it. He's a git. He doesn't understand subtlity (sp?), nor does he understand internal complications unless he is having a moment of savant insight. It's so startling and impressive when he gets what's going on with someone else because he doesn't really get deeper, more complicated levels. He sees people as simplified versions of themselves, because he accepts the surface as presented to him. I think the anime presents this as a sweet quirk of his personality, but also a problem that the rest of the cast members have to protect him from.
Tamaki is a simple character with complicated reprocutions (sp?). I think he is so easily loved by both the audience and the cast because he is an idiot. He's sweet, simple, loving, and while not exactly transparent, he is clear. Nothing is hidden with Tamaki. Everything he thinks, feels, wants is right there. Which is a fascinating thing for the Japanese where so much is hidden.
I like Tamaki, but sometimes I want to smack him. The sense I get from him and his day dreaming and his desire to have Haruhi be ultra-girl is that he's an idiot for them. That he just Doesn't Get It, and everyone around him sort of pats his head and goes about their business. I think Tamaki's values are presented positively because they are childlike. It's positive, but also there is a firm sense that they are unrealistic. It's sort of ... nostalgic. A 'wouldn't it be sweet..' type thing. Hm.
Honestly, the ones that I see who actually have a firm and budding potentially romantic relationship with Haruhi are the twins. Because she draws them out of their shell. Because they are so ... clamourous for her time & attention. Because they make Tamaki jealous, but not really. Because it's fricken hot. I'm probably sick.
Now I want a twins + Haruhi icon.
