[The fire drill...that was so long ago. Almost 10 years now, but Oren remembers it like it was yesterday. He remembers how nervous he was trying not to make Taashath uncomfortable by standing too close, hiding how flushed his face was from mere proximity.

Oren looks down at Taashath now, processing his expression. His voice comes out quieter than it was moments ago.]

I thought it...was just something people do....

[He covers his face with his hands.]

I can't believe this....Taashath....I had a crush on you all through high school.

these are the stupidest smart people goddammit

[quietgardens]

[Taashath is opening his mouth to say something to the tune of 'well, yes, that's something insanely sweet kissable boys do', but then Oren drops that second line and he just. Stops. His eyes go wide and he just stares for a long moment.]

You--

[Oh, his voice was up like a couple octaves there, impressive. He clears his throat, mind suddenly racing.]

You did.

[It doesn't sound like a question, more like something he's trying out and unsure of.]

That's... God. I had no idea.

they EXTREMELY ARE

[ash_elvhen]

[Oren drops his hands a little from his face so he can peek at Taashath when he goes quiet, meeting his wide eyes, then drops them to his sides again.]

Well! I was trying very hard to keep it that way at the time!

[He stares at Taashath in silence for a moment and then he can't help but laugh. It comes out in a little burst, unexpected.]

This is so... [One of his hands goes to his forehead, fingers through his curls, pushing them out of his face.] completely unbelievable.

[Oren flops back down on Taashath's pillows more fully, looking up at the ceiling.]

And now--now, almost ten years later, I'm finding out that those feelings were mutual in your bed. Is this actually happening right now??

[quietgardens]

[Taashath's chest flutters a little when Oren laughs. This whole situation feels like something out of a dream, but he's always been good in strange or high-tension situations. Oren embraces the vertical, but Taashath quietly shifts so he can sit up, hip and thigh still tucked up against Oren's side.]

Ah, well-- In the event that we aren't sharing an erotic dream sequence out of a french indie film...

[He leans forward, back into Oren's field of vision.]

Would you like to get brunch in the morning? As a date. I understand if we, ah, missed our window, but I'd had a fantastic time tonight even discounting the nostalgia.

[ash_elvhen]

[When Taashath shifts Oren finds himself distracted again at the sight of him. His eyes roaming from Taashath's eyes, mouth, down his chest, then back as he processes the question he's being asked. Another smile warms Oren's expression, this one much more affectionate than amused.

Taashath wants him to spend the night. He had a good time with him. He doesn't want it to be a one time thing. He wants to go on a date. With Oren.]

I, uh, don't really have anything to wear--[The tone is light, a little joke.]--but, yes. I'd love to go on a date with you. I should just...probably text Adora to let her know I won't be home tonight.

[quietgardens]

[Cards on the table-- Taashath laughs openly at Oren's joke about the clothes. He's feeling a little giddy.]

I'd offer to lend you some of mine, but I think they'd be a bit tight around the shoulders. You could go home to grab something, or we could make it an aesthetic choice. I doubt we'd be the only people at the diner in last night's clothes.

[He glances over to the mess of their clothes on the floor.]

Do you need help finding your phone? My roommate is already, ah, aware of where I ran off to. She practically shoved me out of our booth when I noticed you across the room.

[ash_elvhen]

[With a chuckle, Oren bends over the side of Taashath's bed and scoops up his pants. His arms are long, he doesn't even need to stretch much.]

I've got it.

[As he's digging the phone out of his pocket he keeps talking.]

I'm glad to hear that if I run into your roommate later tonight she won't be alarmed.

[When the phone comes out he notices a few messages from Adora. He swipes to open the thread and sees that he's not the only one who got lucky tonight. His eyebrows go up.]

Oh--I...guess it's a good thing I'm spending the night after all.

[He messages back that he won't be home anyway and that he expects details tomorrow after his brunch date, sets his phone down on the bedside table, and turns himself back towards Taashath.]

Okay, I'm all yours.

maaaaybe thread end??? did we do it???

[quietgardens]

[You know, Taashath WAS going to comment on the thing with the roommates. He was. It sounds like Oren's friend got laid too and honestly, good for her. He's going to have a spider-man pointing incident with Pearl in the morning and everything.]

[But then Oren dropped that last line, and now Taashath is distracted by a flurry of butterflies.]

All mine, huh?

[He laughs and rolls over so he can be on top of Oren again, smiling.]

I'd better make the most of that.
