[wow that's MEAN you can't just SAY THAT to a sixteen year old what is WRONG WITH YOU]

[rests his head on your shoulder again, and just stands there]

[headcannon]

[I would wager "absolutely zero experience with people my own age and this sort of thing", is what]

I know that is... very selfish of me. I'm sorry. [Lets you go] You... are lovely, and wonderful, and I apologize deeply for the hurt I've already caused you. I shall endeavor to not do so again.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[...you may notice he's not moving]

I really...really like being with you, David.

[headcannon]

[Well that's... encouraging?]

And I very much enjoy being with you. Would you--

...Would it be entirely too selfish of me to ask you for another go at this? I have been...very focused on myself and... using my ignorance as an excuse.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[gives you a VERY QUICK, closed mouth kiss]

You...do need to figure out what you want, but...I can be more patient.

[headcannon]

[Blinks]

Ah, no, that's-- I mean, that's quiet kind of you, truly, but... I'd meant, rather, that, ah--

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[oh. he lets go and takes a step back, then. pretty obviously embarrassed]

Oh--I thought--

--sorry.

[headcannon]

...I meant, there's no reason for you to continue to be patient, as I'd like you to stay with me. If you would.

--Although I suppose you may have to continue to be patient with my inability to express myself properly to you.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Well, that second part was a given. But...yeah. I...I want that, too.

[headcannon]

...I'm thankful.

[this is another hug]

[headcannon]

[Kisses your temple quickly, and hugs back]

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[smiles into your neck]

Man, I really never know what to expect with this.

[sounds amused, though]

[headcannon]

I will do my best to not spring any nasty surprises on you.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Are there any?

[headcannon]

...I can't think of any.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

That's good enough for me.

[headcannon]

[Laughs]

I do hope I'll fair better than 'good enough'.

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

You have so far.

[headcannon]

[Gives you a gentle, just the far side of quick, kiss]

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[takes on a more serious tone]

I've missed this.

[headcannon]

This?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

[shrugs, a bit]

Yeah, this...you. All of it.

[headcannon]

Not having to... to fret, you mean?

[skinofalizard.livejournal.com]

Well--yeah, that's really nice, too, but...

[breaks away for a moment to sit on the edge of the bed]

Not just that.
