so this is even more unexpected. and it shows in her confused reaction for a moment, before she reaches up and brushes his hair aside, pulling him in closely]
[. . . although a few seconds later, he activates the link. and she'll be able to feel that hesitant fondness, those soft feelings tinged by a bit of uncertainty, of wondering if this is okay even though he is basically shoving aside any worries to go for what he wants. he's been doing that a lot lately]
[maybe he's turned over a new leaf???]
[. . .]
[ANYWAY: KISSING CONTINUES. but it's chaste and gentle]
[there's a small sense of amusement when she realizes what's happened. but her feelings are residuals of being surprised that they're kissing now, but also joy that they are.
words are hard, so it's easier to just radiate love at him. especially since that doesn't violate their bet.
and brief understanding that, well, it's confusing to know what to do at right this moment.
so she pulls him closer, moving his hand down to her side.]
[. . . well. love is a powerful emotion, and he responds to that with a lot of fluster, with a brief hitch in the kiss to cough awkwardly. but then she's pulling him closer, and the fluster is melted by a surge of warmth, a surge of this feels right, and. . . well]

HA.
[he seems a bit too smug tbh, he needs to be put in his place]

Nice job.

When it comes to bets, I don't lose.
[he loses sometimes]
no subject
Very well, I'm going to have to honor my part of the deal.
[but also, not pulling her hand back]

[glances down at their enjoined hands, giving her fingers a small squeeze]
. . . hey—

... Yeah...?

[his cheeks turn a little pink]
So anyway, the other night, I had a really weird dream--
no subject
[there's no reason for her to assume it was the same dream she had, after all]
no subject
[. . . . . . . . TURNING DEEP READ]
A. . . dream. Thaaaaaaaat you probably. Also. Had?

DONE
That did happen.
Yep.
Re: DONE
Thaaaaaaat did happen.
So!
Now we have acknowledged. . . it happened!
Re: DONE
Even though, um, that definitely happened... I guess... Is it dumb for me to insist that that doesn't change anything? I thought it was a dream.
And I like you, a lot. All of that's true.
Re: DONE
[closes it again]
[looks. a bit. like he isn't sure what to say. . . next??]
I--
[uuuuh]
-- I mean, yeah. I guess it doesn't. [. . .] I care about you. . . a lot, too.
Re: DONE
Yeah. It's suuuuuper confusing, huh? I dunno what to say next...
Re: DONE
[reaches for her hand again, tugging against it tightly and pulling her towards him rather suddenly]
[???????]
Re: DONE
-- Oh!
[she forgot. Buddy bond. That's a thing, right?]
Words are hard.
Re: DONE
[WAS SHE EXPECTING A BUDDY BOND???]
[CUZ SHE'S GETTING A KISS INSTEAD]
