Well, they wouldn't be wrong about that. And yeah that'd be way better than all the "horror" movies Zuriel left. [ pauses, looking thoughtful. ] It's a date?

[ ...ah. he turns a little pink and looks away for a moment. ]

I... [ hm ] Well... Once wouldn't hurt...?

Eh. Ah. Yeah? [ fuck, it is a date, isn't it? yves was really onto that. miss you buddy this embarrassing flirting is for your shiplist airkiss

it's not helping unfluster him at all in any case. why'd you have to be so sweet to him!! it's a lot!! ]

That's- I mean... [ this was so much easier when he could being annoying about it. ] Only if you want... to...?

[ a date... yay. he's a little excited about it even if it's just a movie.

and oh how the tables have turned... laurence laughs quietly, amused. so this is how they feel when he gets flustered talking about this stuff in public, huh? it's a lot easier when it's just them.

he reaches for chrono's other hand, gently pulling it away from his face. ]

I do, yeah.

[ cute.......... goddamn it

chrono's kind of looking a bit deer in the headlights at this point, scarlet to the tips of his ears, partly in surprise at his own reaction and partly because it was still happening!! this unexpectedly easy attentiveness that made him feel a Way.

he lets his hand be pulled away anyway. this is really lame. he should be making fun of this. but ]

Ah. Okay.

[ useless! ]

[ ngl it's kind of cute when he's not the one freaking out? heh. ]

Just "okay?"

[ teasing. but he doesn't wait for a response, and this time, he's smiling as he leans in for the kiss. this time, he lingers there a bit longer than the first time, just happy to be close as he curls his fingers around chrono's. ]

[ okay so like he's not sure if it was better being called annoying beforehand as opposed to whatever the hell this is, but it was at least more familiar territory. his eyes flutter closed on instinct, fingers twitching, even as he kisses back with some kind of eagerness.

he chases a brief peck of a second kiss when they part, subconsciously determined to prove a contrarian point, before he sinks heavily into the blankets and makes a noise of confusion. ]

...I think. I get how you feel, sometimes, now.

[ the second kiss surprises another soft laugh out of him as he sits back to watch chrono sink into the blanket nest. hahaha. ]

Even though it's just us?

[ listen at least he can be mostly chill in private! he can handle that much!! ]

[ muffled; ] I-I think? Maybe because it's just us? I don't know?

[ there's nowhere else for the attention to go once he notices it's on him. it's a little overwhelming. the blanket nest can claim him for a moment while he calms down. ]

[ well he's just gonna lean back against the bed and let chrono drown in the blankets i guess. ]

If that's how it is, are you going to be able to handle a date?

[ haaa. he'll still weakly claw his hand out of the pile like. please hold. ]

It's fine? Probably? [ his head pops back up, pink over his cheeks rather than scarlet at least. ] We've basically been doin' the same thing anyway, right. Just-- the context, it's kinda...

[ god. he might be stupid, actually, like more than already known. tentatively; ]

...we could make the festival a date, too?

[ hmmm ]

Are festivals good for that kind of thing?

...yeah? It's like, a really popular thing for. People... who are dating. To do.

[ chrono is so funny. laurence still has zero understanding of what a festival's actually like so he just immediately accepts this without question. ]

Okay. Then that'll be a date, too. [ just decides this right now. ] You said you were going to cook for it, right? Should I help? Koharu showed me some simple stuff for Wednesday.

[ you know before he was. love arrowed. whew. we don't have to talk about that. ]

[ it's not like he's lying he's just having the belated realisation that it was totally a date anyway and that he's a fucking idiot. but it's fine. ]

O-okay. [ okay????? ] I was gonna make festival food to bring, since the cave can't actually make any. Helping is good if you want? What did you guys make?

[ please we don't have to talk about it. weird. yikes. ]

[ laurence never even realized that at all so who's ahead here really ]

Riceballs, mostly, since we were talking about them before... But she also showed me, uh - dango? Dumplings, she said.

Oh, wow. Dango's not actually so easy, so you guys must've worked hard. If you wanna make some, I'd like to try 'em. [ yumy....... and thematic! good! ] I was gonna make yakisoba - fried noodles. Think you'll like it.

Well, she did most of the work... I just did what she told me to. But I guess I can try doing it again.

Fried noodles. [ he's really thinking like. spaghetti. it sounds weird but if chrono thinks he'll like it......... ] You're a good cook, so I'm sure it'll be fine no matter what it is.
