3/3

[fessus]

❄️❄️❄️

1/2

[gyve]

( For once, he doesn't have to listen to a hollow voice read him Noctis' words. Kaladin can look at the pictures and understand—fully.

It feels good.

Noctis makes him feel good. )

You're so annoying

2/2

[gyve]

( ... )

I'll show you them
Using the implants I can take you to Roshar and Shadesmar and help you see
I don't know how to do it but I'll find out
🪸
Does that sound good

1/2

[fessus]

Yeah?

[ He wants to see them. Out of curiosity, definitely, but more to experience that intimacy of Kaladin extending parts of his world to him. What will it be like? Will he see those spren Kaladin speaks of so often? ]

That depends on what that emoji is

2/2

[fessus]

[ A bold suggestion enters his mind and hooks there, immovable and unavoidable now that it's occurred to him. So he takes a moment to gather his courage first, then: ]

So

It's a date

[gyve]

( His stomach tenses against a sudden swell of good anxiety. The feeling is easily described by the spren he represented moments ago with a ribbonlike emoji. )

Anticipation

Let's find a time and make it happen
The sooner the better

[fessus]

Oh getting pushy like it wasn't my idea

[ That flutter in his chest swells and passes as Kaladin accepts what he has to say without question, leaving him nothing but warm and contented. ]

You got smth else you want to ask me?

[gyve]

Now you know I'm looking forward to it
If you have a problem with that
Well to be frank that's too bad

I'm not sure what question you want to hear though
Sorry

[fessus]

I've got tons of problems with you tbh, do you want them listed alphabetically or by order of importance?

[ ... ]

Wait nvm you won't get the first one anyway

And guess I'll have to wait until you figure it out then

[gyve]

( ... oh.......

Did he miss something? OBSESSES OVER IT )

I don't know what you're talking about
Are you still teasing me
I need a little help here

[fessus]

No I'm super serious about it

[ ... ]

You could ask me if I want to go somewhere

Or eat smth

1/2

[gyve]

2/2

[gyve]

Right uh
Sorry

We can go somewhere and eat
We can do whatever you want to do
Would you like that

[fessus]

[ Lips purse then relax as he reads the message, trying and failing to control his own expression and the pressure on his chest. ]

Did you just say 'uh'

Maybe I want you to pick and surprise me

[gyve]

( They agreed on a date, and now Noctis wants another one. It gives him a queasy feeling in his stomach that's quickly overwhelmed by acute... irritation.

No, not irritation. Affection. He wants to grab him, guide him somewhere, and— )

Yeah I did
You make me nervous

Leave the plan to me
I'll take care of it

( "You." )

[fessus]

[ What would Kaladin pick? A nighttime spar out near the bay, then dinner near the water? Maybe exploring in Kyoto... hiking, something like that. A stroll around the city?

Somehow, all of them sound perfect. He knows exactly why. ]

I've made a lot of people nervous before yk

This is the only time I've felt good about it. Tbh it's kind of hard for me to believe

[gyve]

Is that why it's hard for you to believe or is it something else

[fessus]

Def smth else

[ He rubs at his mouth, struggling to choose exactly the right words. ]

I don't feel like you should be nervous around anybody

[gyve]

And no one should ever truly be nervous around you

This is the pleasant kind Noctis
You don't intimidate me

[fessus]

I get that dw

It's just that it feels like you don't know what you look like/act like/sound like

[gyve]

What do you mean

( He already felt warm, but now it's gotten uncomfortable. Once outside, it's better, the air still crisp when the sun's hidden behind lazy clouds. )

[fessus]

[ Way to go, Noctis... there's no stopping now, is there? ]

Yk what I mean

There's everybody else here, then there's you. You're in your own league

[gyve]

You're there too
If I'm supposed to know what you mean then you're supposed to know what I mean right
Instead of saying it plainly

[fessus]

That's different

[ Why? It feels so obvious that it's hard for him to explain. ]

You're different

Idk maybe you make me nervous too

[gyve]

( His eyes soften. This storming idiot... )

Is it the pleasant kind
