["A good friend."

Levi's brain seems to halt for a moment as the topic comes back around to their relationship status. It's probably how he would introduce Kara, but is that really what they are? Is this moving too fast?

...

He wants to ask, but he's too afraid to. He doesn't want to overstep and ruin what they have now.]

I don't think they'll mind, it's more... They'll never let me hear the end of it. They'll tease me 'til the end of time.

[And he will die (not serious).]

Mostly they'll be surprised. I...haven't made any friends since we moved out to California.

[curvaceous]

[ A part of her wonders when they'll cement their relationship, but for now, this is fine. They can be good friends falling in love, who kiss and go on dates and cuddle sometimes. It's fine!! ]

Oh! In that case, I'll just have to protect you and insist that we're just classmates doing some studying together. I can be super convincing!

How does that sound?

[trashtier]

Um...

[It'd be a fine cover, yeah...but...

He shakes his head and smiles at her.]

It's okay. I can deal with a little embarrassment, because I'm happy to be able to tell them I made a friend. A really, really special one.

[Maybe he'll tell her about his excited text to Barrett sometime. Would she find that flattering?]

[curvaceous]

Oh...

[ That makes her incredibly happy. She grins and gives him an approving nod. (Also, please tell her about that text. She'll be very happy to hear it.) ]

That's much better, then. I'll gladly accept that, because you're special to me, too.

[ The hand in his hair moves around to gently brush against his cheek. ]

So...stay with me, okay? I'm not going to let you go.

[trashtier]

[When Kara says things like that, he can't help but feel his heart leap into his throat. His cheek is incredibly warm against her hand as he sheepishly casts his glance to the side.

He's still afraid, but he can't take it anymore. He's going to explode if he doesn't ask.]

Hey, Kara? If you ask me to stay with you, and I really badly wanna stay with you...and keep kissing you and cuddling with you...

That's like...c-couple stuff, right?

[The moment the words leave his mouth, he stammers:]

I-If this is moving too fast, tell me! I know we only just had our first date...!

[curvaceous]

[ She looks a little surprised by his declaration, but after a moment, she laughs again. ]

It really has only been one date, huh? I don't know why, but it feels like I've known you for much longer, and like we've gone on ten dates already.

[ She's blushing, but she looks happy. Incredibly so. ]

I mentioned this earlier, but I don't care how fast or slow we go. I just like being with you, and that's enough for me. So if you're not ready, it's okay if we wait. But if you want to make it official, I'm fine with that, too.

[trashtier]

I know exactly what you mean. I feel like...even though it hasn't been that long, I've already learned so much about you. A-And the more I learn, the deeper I fall...

["Fall"? Though he doesn't finish that thought, it probably isn't hard to tell where he was going with it.

After a moment of consideration, he swallows his fears and allows himself some courage.]

You're my really, really special friend...so girlfriend just feels right to me. Don't you think so too?

[He said it out loud. Him. With a girlfriend.

Wow.]

[curvaceous]

I think it sounds perfect.

[ She gently touches her forehead to his, and looks at him with nothing short of...love, is it? She couldn't say. All she knows is that her heart is filled with affection towards him. ]

I'd love to be your girlfriend. It makes sense, since I keep falling for you, too.

[trashtier]

Eheh... [Giddy laughter begins to bubble up from deep within him. It surprises him, but he doesn't make an effort to stop it.] Eheheh!

[He can't help himself. He's completely over the moon.

He excitedly tips his head to go in for another kiss. He holds it for longer than intended, and pulls back when the realization finally hits him.]

S-Sorry! I'm just so happy. Thank you! [He's absolutely beaming.] I promise I'll be a boyfriend you can be proud of, Kara.

[curvaceous]

[ She returns the kiss just as eagerly, and when they part, it's her turn to start laughing. She's so happy and feels so light, and she shakes her head. ]

Levi, don't be silly! You already are.

[ Kara gets in closer and leans in for another kiss. It lingers, and her hand searches for his so she can hold it again. He's so warm. She hopes she can remember this for the rest of her life. ]

[trashtier]

[She's proud of him.

It's so rare and precious to feel valued, he...

Honestly? It's enough for tears to well up in his eyes. He blinks them back and sniffles once they separate from another kiss.]

Then...! [As she takes his hand, he links their fingers and squeezes.] I'll have to maintain it! I won't let you down!

[curvaceous]

You won't. I believe in you.

[ Her smile turns warm as she reaches up to gently brush her thumb over the corner of his eye. She cried in front of him. It's only fair that she allows him to do the same. ]

Thank you for everything, Levi. I'm very excited to see what's in store for us!

[trashtier]

Thank you...

[The tears don't last long, but they make their point. This is an immensely happy time for the both of them, and a much-needed relief from the sorrows that have plagued them.

He snuggles up close to her, content to hold her close until the two of them are forced to part and log off for the night.]

Me too.
