RL with Ken

[redlikecrimson]

[Honestly he's not sure what to make of the gift basket he got. He's not even sure how he got it. It shouldn't be possible and yet.

No, it's definitely here.

So Aya sighs and takes it down the hall where he knocks on Ken's door. He's still in shock and has no words. And as soon as he has permission to enter the room, he walks in and sets the basket down in front of Ken.

There...is no explanation for this. It's better to just...show him.]

You're flushed.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

... go stare at the little gift basket in there and see how you look after a few minutes.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

["And why are you staring at the basket?"]

[Brow lift. But he'll follow after him so he can lock the door behind them.]

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

.... are you really serious about all this?

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[Once he's at Ken's side, he looks at him.]

I'm serious.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

I guess I just want to be sure. Sorry...

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[He watches Ken for a moment before reaching out and taking his hand to give it a little squeeze. Yes, he's serious about this and he wants him to know that.]

We better enjoy this kind of stuff now, because we're not going to be able to do much of it when we go back.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

It just means we'll have to be more subtle about it.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

In case you haven't notices over the years, I'm not one for subtlety.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

I had noticed actually.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

How observant of you.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't let go of his hand despite them being out in public. The streets here are abandoned enough that there really isn't anyone to look their way.

Besides that, it feels good.]

I have my moments.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

I'm betting more than you'll ever admit.

... did you ever think about all this before it was kinda shoved in our faces?

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

A relationship with you or just having a relationship.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

Both, I guess?

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I really didn't. I was convinced I didn't deserve anything that good.

[A pause.] I'm still wondering if I do.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

I think that... after everything that's happened in our lives, we deserve something good.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

I guess this is our something then.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

Then we better not mess it up.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

[He lets out a soft laugh.] You're right.

[wasabloodknight.livejournal.com]

Oh ho. I like hearing that from you. Remind me to write the date down when we get back.

[redlikecrimson.livejournal.com]

Mm. Very funny. [But he's in too good a mood to let the smile fade.]
