[tilting her face up to him, kissing back more eagerly than before and reaching up to cup the back of his neck with one hand, fingers threading through his hair]
[has finally fully gotten onto the okay yes this is how human making out works train yeah. experimenting with it a little now that he's relaxed, hands splayed possessively on her back, kissing more energetically]
[hugs her a bit harder suddenly, almost like he might lift her up off the ground--but he doesn't quite, though he does break the kiss to laugh breathlessly against her lips, smiling]
[taking her hand, and beginning to lead her slowly off the dance floor; there are more comfortable places to sit and be shy and unsure at one another surely!]
. . . Earlier tonight, Kira from Kunzite approached me to kiss me for the game . . . she was quite romantic about it, and--it disturbed me, a bit. I told her I didn't understand how anyone could want to kiss in that fashion when they were not attracted to the other party, and she called me--"romantic." . . . I've never considered myself a romantic. My father is certainly not one! But in all honestly, when she acted in that way towards me, it made me uncomfortable, because I--I've been aware for some time that there is only one person I feel a certain way for.
I-I-I'd wondered if you realized! . . . However, if you had not, I couldn't be surprised. I am not human. People assume certain things about me because of that.
[flushing more violently, but okay this subject can be skirted around mostly innocently to the same effect and point]
--It isn't uncommon, at home! It is not particularly taboo for such relationships to occur! Of course, my father would never approve of a thing like that, but that isn't a concern for most birds. It . . . things are as they are. But that is not how things are for the rest of you.
Well, I-I don't think... I'm sure in Narnia we knew different sorts of Talking Animals who lived together, although... not families, you know--! Since of course they couldn't have children. So I doubt anyone would have minded it...
. . . That's so; it would be different for you. Most people here come from worlds where only human-shaped creatures are intelligent, and if anything else is, it is only attracted to its own kind. But we don't--myself, Ryouta, and Yuuya. I've been questioned and met with surprise before. "Does that happen, where you come from?" . . . And so, I assumed my feelings might go unnoticed, no matter the target of them.
[which they apparently did, but that's beside the point. crossing his legs and arms, leaning back in his chair, thoughtfully]
It -- it wasn't that I didn't notice because it was you. I told you, I-I never... I never thought of wanting to kiss anyone. I never thought of-- romance. At all. That anyone would want-- or that I would...
...and I kept sort of coming over shy with you all the time and I couldn't think why...
I--had wondered, a bit, but I thought--surely not! And yet for some time now, not too terribly long, but long enough to begin to madden me, there has been something I couldn't think how to address, some feeling . . .
[looking down at his hands, and then hers, and then reaching to take hers in his]
