outdistanced | turbo heaven 🌼 chrono

Hey.

[ his ears and cheeks are still burning, despite it. he's channeling something usually reserved for very different circumstances, but... ]

You don't have to if you don't want. But I really wouldn't mind.

You...

[ UGH he needs. a moment. it's just chrono? they just admitted... things. he kind of does want to. so why is he so nervous. this is stupid.

laurence exhales. ]

You are so annoying.

[ someone's gotta shut chrono up somehow. so he doesn't wait for a third invitation, he just leans in to press their lips together, a little squeeze of their hands betraying his nervousness. he is really going to just expire after this. ]

[ aha.

it's impossible to not laugh lightly into it, free hand coming up immediately to rest on laurence's jaw. guidance, reassurance? more teasing? a little bit of everything. he kisses back with ease, but his heart is thundering anyway and if laurence's face wasn't already so red he's sure the heat from his own would be scalding.

it's a simple kiss, chrono not wanting to push too much for now. he draws away, not too far, smirk unable to be contained. ]

...nice.

[ why does that laugh make something flutter in his stomach? he's embarrassed but kind of happy but also just! wow! a lot of feelings happening and if he thinks about any of them too hard he's going to explode!

it already feels like he's well on the way there. his face is burning, his heart is going to hammer its way out of his chest, but it's... nice. it is nice, but the comment out loud really just makes him groan and bury his face into chrono's shoulder. ]

You never stop, do you.

[ cute. ]

Not really known for it, no.

[ he'll drop his cheek atop laurence's hair, idly playing with their linked hands. he's somehow so content, despite every other tempestuous emotion not leaving him. it's not the conclusion he expected, but no way in hell is he complaining at all. ]

We absolutely cannot tell Koharu-chan about this or she might lose her mind.

Pain in the ass. [ fond

huffs out another breathy laugh, but he's weirdly okay with this with those first few steps out of the way. those were the hardest parts, so he just shifts a little to be more comfortable here. close. ]

She might lose her mind if we don't and she finds out later. I think she's desperate for something real and not a curse.

Yeah.

[ wow. clingy. this is another side of him, but unlike the weirdness at the movie night, it... feels genuine. his heart's still so loud in his ears, and probably everywhere he has a pulse. ]

Do you want to tell her? I'm not sayin' a thing unless you're cool with it.

[ listen. it's been a week. let him have this. ]

It's... fine? I guess? [ kind of still wishing the ground would swallow him hole, but. ] As long as she promises not to make a huge deal of it.

[ there's not a single complaint happening right now at all. ]

That's pretty surprising. [ amused ] We'll see what comes up, hm?

[ for now, he'll slowly untangle their hands so he can place his arms loosely around laurence's shoulders and run one briefly through his hair instead. ]

You need anythin'?

Shut up. She's just been making me feel bad about it, that's all. Especially after yesterday...

[ god. he doesn't want to think about that too hard, either. ]

...No, I don't think so. I'm getting tired of everyone fussing over me, after all this.

[ he kind of hates all the attention, actually, ]

She could use somethin' to lift her spirits, huh.

[ egh. let's not think about yesterday, it was weird. ]

That's fair. Sorry, though. [ tugs gently at the back of his collar. ] I'm gonna be fussin' a little.

She always gets so excited about that stuff and it's never even real.

[ it's a little sad... he still doesn't really get the appeal of being into other people's business like that, but. ]

Hey, I could've been a lot worse off. Be glad that Iris is such a lousy shot. [ pauses, frowning. ] Still don't know why I'm bleeding over it, though.

...I was worried you might've thought I was cursed, for a bit.

[ shakes his head, almost incredulous. ]

Bullets are supposed to kill, or at least injure real bad. I dunno what world your info's coming from.

Why would I think you were cursed?

What? No, they're not. We have gun fights all the time at school and it's fine.

...well, y'know, like you said. It hasn't been real, before, and I wasn't actually sure if you felt-- ah, the same, so.

[ maybe he was actually a lot more nervous about this than he'd managed to make it sound

anyway what the Fuck ]

Yeah, no, that definitely isn't how it's supposed to work.

...The curse works a little differently than that. I'm pretty sure we'd both be cursed, and then I'd have to fight someone about it.

[ whoever did that to him and kaworu? he just wants to talk ]

It does, though? It's normal.

[ brain soup yay ]
