[ 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. ]
[ 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. ]
[ 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; ]
[ 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. ]
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.

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