[orangehoodie]

It's pretty comfortable, I guess. Do you want anything for dinner?

[lowres]

Whatever you were planning on having is fine. [She pulls back to look at him with big eyes.]

[orangehoodie]

... I was planning salad and microwaved something from last night before we met up.

I can try asking Susan if she can help us.

[lowres]

Maybe I can cook...

[orangehoodie]

Rest a bit. We can look through the fridge and see if there's anything we can use. How are you feeling?

[lowres]

Much better. [She takes his face in her hands to peer at him.] I would like to ask you a question.

[orangehoodie]

[His cheeks squish a bit.] What is it?

[lowres]

You would like me to rest, but if I do not understand, I will keep thinking about this... Why did you kiss me?

[orangehoodie]

[He blinks.





Then his face turns red.

He's silent for a long three seconds before his eyes drop and he answers almost shyly]

... I've liked you for a long time and I got emotional.

[lowres]

I like you as well, but you've never kissed me before.

[orangehoodie]

I-- [wasn't planning to? mistakes were made? he doesn't look up]

I wanted to kiss you in a better situation, if I was ever going to...

Sorry.

[lowres]

No one has ever kissed me before. [There's a very, very long moment when she remembers all of her romcom training. All her romance novels that told her what to do. But facing Ken, now, as she is, she only wants to do one thing. She presses her forehead to his.] If you find a better situation... I would not mind you trying again.

[orangehoodie]

[His eyes flicker up-- then back down again because she's so close.]

You wouldn't?

[lowres]

[Nadia blushes, watching his eyes, ducking down to catch his attention.] Those are your feelings, aren't they? To ask you to disregard them would be cruel... And... I would like to know when you are not afraid.

[orangehoodie]

[He doesn't look away this time.] I don't want to push them onto you and make you disregard yours, either.

[lowres]

My feelings are very clear to me.

[orangehoodie]

[He is very quiet as he nods.]

... I'll tell you in the morning.

[lowres]

Are you tired? I know I scared you.

[orangehoodie]

[He shakes his head.] I'm okay. If I sleep anymore now I won't sleep tonight.

[lowres]

[She presses her forehead to his again.] I will wake you.

[orangehoodie]

[He closes his eyes.] I want to stay like this for now.

[It's nice? He's scared of changing the friendship between them but it's a little too late now and for now it's nice.]

[lowres]

Then I will stay right here. [She won't move a single inch.]

[orangehoodie]

[They are not going to move until dinnertime are they?]

[lowres]

[Not if Ken doesn't move. Nadia is even containing her snuggles.]

[orangehoodie]

[He's only going to move when Susan clears her throat from the doorway and his face turns bright red and he stammers something about cooking dinner and slips and falls sideways off the couch in his attempt to get up]
