It's my turn right? Truth or dare?

[tothosewhobait]

T...ruth.

[doublefried]

Do you think instead of setting me up on dates with other people, it might be faster and more fun to just go on dates with me personally?

[tothosewhobait]

It...would certainly be more efficient, wouldn't it? And we do enjoy each others' company already.

Real ones or...practice ones?

[doublefried]

Why not real ones? Wouldn't it suck to practice until we were both really good at dating each other and then pass me off to someone else?

[tothosewhobait]

...that would be rather unfortunate, wouldn't it?

[doublefried]

And then what if I didn't even LIKE that person. It would be embarrassing and sad.

[tothosewhobait]

That would be quite terrible for everyone involved. Really....we'd be doing everyone a mercy.

[doublefried]

Also I think you're very fun to hang out with independently.

[tothosewhobait]

I enjoy hanging out with you too... I have a confession though.

[doublefried]

Hm?

[tothosewhobait]

I've...never been on a date before.

[doublefried]

This might be a date, what we're doing right now.

[tothosewhobait]

...should we make it officially a date then?

[doublefried]

Unless you want it to be a practice date.

[tothosewhobait]

...I must confess something else.

[doublefried]

Hmmmm?

[tothosewhobait]

I perhaps didn't like the idea of setting you up with anyone else anyways.

[doublefried]

You fell for my exhausted charm and overworked swag.

[tothosewhobait]

You're hardworking and handsome and I enjoy your company...that's a rare combination. And when one finds their self presented with something rare and precious, it's rather hard to willingly let that go.

[doublefried]

And normally I'd be more coy, but you DID apparently have to wade through a big ol' pile of my like... what, thoughts? Feelings? Memories? and you weren't like... freaked out... so...

[tothosewhobait]

I wasn't "freaked out"....and it wasn't pity....but I found myself wanting to become a soft place for you, since you didn't seem to have one. If that makes sense.

[doublefried]

A soft place...

[ leans on a little. like experimentally. ]

... That's very sweet, you know? You're right, I never really had one.

[tothosewhobait]

[Slowly leans against him in return]

I might have guessed that...

...

...

I know I'm not very terribly similar to the person you liked before. Is that all right?

[doublefried]

That's all right. It might be weird if you were too similar.
