Aaron still wasn't sure why he was here, trailing behind Joy as she alternately stared at a piece of paper in her hand and scanned the buildings to find their destination, but whatever, it wasn't as if he'd had anything better to do today. Probably why she'd dragged him along, actually, since he and Sean... he pushed away a pang of regret. That was over and done with, and this was a social call.

"Aha!" Joy said brightly, caught his arm, and led him across the street, into a small coffeeshop that wasn't, for a wonder, Starbucks. "Here we are, and there they are! James! Over here!"

Mort nodded. "Yeah, James is... impossible to embarrass, I think he said that?" He smirked. "But yeah, most people - just don't even know what to do with information like that. It's like, man, not wanting sex is weird enough, did you have to try it and not like it too? It's like..." He half-shrugged. "Like they think it's a personal attack on their preferences or something. Like if there's one person in the world who doesn't enjoy sex, the whole structure of civilization will crrrrumble." He delivered the last clause in a ridiculously over-melodramatic tone, waving one hand in the air like a B-movie villain.

Aaron laughed, and curled his hand around his cup. "Cities will fall, governments will topple, the world as we know it will end. Yeah, I'm familiar with the reaction. I don't get it, I really don't. I mean... Lorelai to some extent." He remembered what she'd said to him-- do you not think I'm sexy?-- and clenched his hand around the cup. "I get that, a little. But people who aren't even involved?"

"That was your girlfriend, Lorelai?" Mort guessed.

"Yeah, at the time." He shrugged. "She sort of made me feel... well, I didn't date anyone else again until Joy."

Mort nodded. "I can understand that. I actually didn't date again until James, and for the first... what, ten years I knew him, I didn't consider us dating." He chuckled. Well, except...

Fuck it. If he was going to have this conversation, why the hell not. "Well - didn't date, date," he said, pulling a wry face. "I let my Army buddies drag me along to a brothel one time over in the Gulf. Desert Storm," he added, nodding at his bad leg. "Figured I should give it a shot when I was, you know, ready for it. I don't think that counts as dating, exactly, but... God." He reached out to pat Aaron's hand, paused and waited for Aaron to nod first. "I suspect I know pretty much how you feel, Aaron. Not fun."

"No, it isn't," Aaron agreed, thinking ruefully that at least he'd never had to go through that. "Plus, the whole thing is just kinda... gross. I don't know, maybe that's me, but it just gives me this visceral ew reaction."

"Absolutely," Mort agreed, nodding firmly. "I mean, I know not even all aces feel that way--" He glanced fondly over at James, who was still over by the pastry case with Joy, both of them talking a mile a minute. "--but I sure do. So, uh, you and Joy are dating, then?" he added, referring to Aaron's comment about not dating 'until Joy'. "I couldn't figure out if you were or not. I'll have to tell James he was right, then. Again." He grinned. "One of the minor drawbacks of living with a Sherlock Holmes who's also... I'm sorry, that's an obscure in-joke, I'm babbling." No point assuming Aaron would get geeky references just because he looked like a nerd, that was rude. Mort chuckled dryly. "So - you and Joy, I'm gathering she's... uh, not ace, but you make it work anyway? I'm impressed."

"We were dating," Aaron corrected. "We broke up about two years ago, and been friends ever since. She's, um." How to describe Joy, and their relationship? "She's pretty awesome, but she can be... exhausting? I guess is a good way of putting it. Joy really needs someone who can keep up with her, and I think I'm a little too much of an introvert. Still, it was great while it lasted."

He laughed. "Yeah, she is so very much not ace. We had an arrangement. She had one-night stands when she wanted sex, and when she needed anything else she got it from me. She's actually very nice to cuddle." Comfortable breasts, to begin with.
