[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]

[lowres]

[OMG Ken.

Nadia peers at him, offering a hand to help him up.] Are you all right?

[orangehoodie]

[He'll take it. He rubs his hip where he landed, nodding.] I think so.

Thanks.

[lowres]

[When he's back up, she smiles at Susan politely, thanking her for the ride.]

[orangehoodie]

[Susan will smile back and tell them she can handle making dinner, but is there anything Nadia is allergic to? She called Ken's father so he'll know to expect her.]

[lowres]

[She shakes her head!!! But she can help! She's learning to cook.]

[orangehoodie]

[Susan is not going to say no to a helper. She'll shoo Ken off to go shower because she knows he hasn't yet, and will show Nadia to the kitchen. Is Nadia familiar with it?]

[lowres]

[She's seen it, but she doesn't know very well.]

[orangehoodie]

[Then it'll be an adventure. Let's see what's in the fridge.]
