( 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

[fessus]

[ jiiiii ]

No it's awful

[gyve]

Would it help if I slouched

[fessus]

And lower your center of gravity? No way

I can knock you over easier and make you look way lamer if you're standing upright, then there's nothing to be nervous about at all

( ...

BLUSHES... THE MENTAL IMAGE... )

Yeah
No I mean
No there wouldn't be anything to be nervous about

2/2

[gyve]

Bah
Whatever
Forget it

[fessus]

[ Kaladin rambles. He misspeaks.

Like he's nervous. ]

2/2

[fessus]

Has anyone called you cute before lol

[gyve]

( Has anyone called him "cute"? Never to compliment him.

His mother probably said it genuinely... a long time ago. It makes his eyes soften, blush persisting while he considers how to respond. )

Are you mocking me

[fessus]

No

[ The reply is immediate. ]

I guess I am trying to compliment you though

Is it not working

[gyve]

It's
Yes of course it is I just
No I've never been called that
Not romantically

Thank you
I think you're cute too

[fessus]

You just throw "romantic" on there like it's nbd.......

Is this where I ask if you're mocking me back?

[gyve]

Tell me it's not romantic and I won't say it
But I'm not mocking you

( Before he loses his nerve, he quickly and quietly adds: )

I think that you're beautiful

[fessus]

Kaladin

[ The name is immediate. However, there's at least three full minutes of silence that follows. ]
