You all better kiss.

[ help, well he can do that if that's what she wants later--

his cheeks are ever so slightly dusted pink! ]

I wasn't attracted to anyone then. I told you that I only like-like you, remember? That's not changing either, I haven't actually liked someone since I was little.

[ she could throw him in the ocean and leave him to drown and he'd feel the same. ]

Did you want to know why?

[ since it looks like he surprised her again, he offers this since he feels like he probably could explain better. ]

[scooptimistic]

... I should probably ask for your thoughts on it, yeah.

[ Just. She's so bewildered by it. Obviously. ]

[beatmatching]

[ since this is something he's offering impromptu, it's probably going to be simple luka hours all the way down. but it's not like he's shy, so.

he squeezes her hands before he begins. ]

I started to like you right after we kissed. [ which is kind of funny when you come to think of it, that the kissing didn't matter at all but the conversation after did. ]

I like you because you're determined, confident, and assured in your convictions. You have a beautiful smile and laugh, and you dress however you want without being self-conscious of it.

I like going on dates with you and learning something new every time.

[ normal things, easy things. ]

But what I really like about you... [ a slight pause, because this is difficult for him to get into words. but as always, no matter what, he pushes through anyway. ]

You don't pressure me, you have no expectations of me. I think you might actually like me for who I am, when no one else does. You make me want to reach out to others even though I haven't done that since I was little.

You're strong, but I want to be there for you when you don't want to be anymore. I don't understand a lot about human life, but I'm a fast learner. And I want to protect you from anything that could hurt you—even yourself.

[ because their talk that night has stuck with him, even if he doesn't understand the context and might never understand. ]

I won't forget you even if you or the universe demands it of me.
