lovemaking

[terabient]

inspired by recent fail_fandomanon threads of "who in your OTP says lovemaking, who says having sex:"

Varuna almost never uses direct or rude phrasing. Calls his meetings with Luther "amusements" or "spending time with Master Luther," y'know polite language in an attempt to make late night visits to his Master's personal chambers not sound like a booty call. Even when he's speaking with his lover (not necessarily Luther) Varuna tends to use phrasing like "trysts" or "taking to bed." Calling it lovemaking is so emotionally charged for him that he avoids it, and he's too reserved to just call it fucking. (Exceptions made for lovers who are turned on by dirty talk; Varuna always puts the preferences of his partner over his own.)

Luther doesn't actually fuck enough to show a preference particularly care about being polite nor does he consider his sexual conquests a matter of love, so he doesn't use "lovemaking." Oracle Luther is definitely someone callous enough say he's fucking his partners, but he's not especially crude either so he's more likely to say "sleeping with" or similar phrasing. Omega Luther is about the same, but since he has some grudging awareness of how to act appropriately, won't say fuck until he's in private with his partner, and literally fucking.
