[ It's weird, yeah. Like he's being compelled to do it, like he feels comfy enough to actually be holding hands with another guy. Were he off the bridge, maybe he wouldn't but there's something in the air that seems to make him feel a little bolder.

Demyx's positive reaction certainly is helping to boost his confidence that he's doing the right thing, too.

But he does stare a bit when he hears that bit. ]

Wait... you... you like me?

[ His cheeks are burning again even as he steps closer, his fingers still linked with the other shinki's. ]

I... I mean I'm glad you don't think it's too forward but... I... didn't think you liked me enough to think it wasn't?

[ Eno you're not making sense. ]

[sitarsongs]

[ That stare earns one in reply, albeit with a couple blinks mixed in. ]

Yeah! Of course I like you! I wouldn't be holding your hand and stuff if I didn't, right? [ He's about to make himself blush as well by admitting that. But, it's the truth.

And that's how easy it can be, when you're Demyx. Of course, he has no idea of the ramifications of saying as much, certainly no 'next steps' planned; but perhaps that only serves to make this all more innocent. They'll figure the rest out as they go -- together, if that's what Eno decides he wants. It can all happen organically. Read: It'll be a lovely disaster.

The last comment has the Nobody running it back a couple of times in his head, and perhaps Eno can watch the wheels turn for a moment. Finally, he pauses, only to arrive late, and on a completely different train of thought. ]

So... does this mean you like me, too?

[hackberrydragon]

I guess you wouldn't be, huh...?

[ There's a sheepish little grin as he rubs the back of his head with his free hand. But there's the million yen question. His hand shifts slightly as he looks directly at the other man. The gears in his own head are whirring.

His own experience with dating is... minimal, to say the least. He and Bandou are more of a mutual attraction no strings attached-- Bandou. There's someone he has to talk to. But first things first.

He figures things are gonna be different with Demyx though. He's pretty cute after all... and a nice guy to hang around. Definitely more outgoing but that might be a good thing too. ]

Yeah... I think I like you back...

[sitarsongs]

You do?! [ He sounds disbelieving, but he's really just surprised.

Really, really surprised.

Things will be different now, all right -- for better or worse. (Probably both.) Having exactly zero romantic experience to rely on in this venture, he’ll likely fumble through it. A lot. But at least Demyx is well-meaning through his folly.

If nothing else, one could say his heart is in the right place.

Or, it would be. Right now he’s pretty sure it’s in... his throat, maybe? Somewhere around there. And man, his face sure feels hot all of a sudden! The tips of his ears are burning, even. What a rush! Eno likes him! Is this even real life?!

Breathe, Demyx. Remember to breathe. He settles his hand against Eno’s and does just that, even if his face is lit up like a summer sky full of fireworks. ]

So... what now?

[ Do they hug? He kinda wants to hug him. ]
