To me. You’re too polite to me. You just thanked me for thanking you, you realize.

It's not hard to be polite to someone you like.

… [Speaking quietly into his scarf:] Makes some things harder for me.

Like what?

[This might be a little teasing.]

…Like figuring out how much you like me. Or in what way.

I like you very much, and in the kind of way where I want to hold your hand again.

[And do other things, but hand holding is the easiest to request.]

[Hmm.]

That’s all?

...Can I ask for more?

…You can ask.

Well... Can I kiss you again?

[A pause.]

No.

[But:]

Because the way I remember it, I kissed you. So it wouldn’t be “again.” You’ve never done it.

Oh, that's right. You like your space, so it's hard to be that kind of bold...

I didn’t say I make it easy. I’m just saying… that maybe you could if you wanted.

[Oh, okay. Ahem.]

I'm going to kiss you now, if that's alright.

[The warning might be appreciated.]

Mm. I'll allow it.

[Does he sound nervous? He's a little warm and red around the cheeks.]

[They're both nervous, in that case. Atsushi cups one of Therion's cheeks in his hand and leans in for a gentle, chaste kiss. Trying to mimic what Therion did last time - of course he still remembers it like it was yesterday.]

[It's so sweet, so simple, Therion's face really has no business flushing as hot as it does or his stomach getting so fluttery. One of his hands finds Atsushi's shoulder, and the other goes right back to his scarf once they part, pulling it high enough to cover even his nose.]

...Not bad.

[He feels stupid and shy and painfully young, like a teenager clumsy with the newness of contact. He is, in a way; he's so unused to it now.]

[So cute. Atsushi knows, intellectually, that there are plenty of reasons not everyone has fallen for Therion - but part of him still can't believe he's the one lucky enough to see Therion blush like this.]

If it is, it's only because I learned from you.

Stopppp.

[But even as he groans that out, even as he buries his burning face completely in his scarf, a faint laugh escapes him.]

How do you say stuff like that. You have any idea how embarrassing you are?
