If Louis felt an unnatural calmness, Legosi felt like his fur was on fire. Maybe it was their differences as predator and prey. Maybe it was Louis' calm in tense social situations while Legosi found his cool under pressure happening in the heat of a fight. Maybe, maybe, maybe... The potential reasons sped through his mind, but they halted in place.

Louis kissed him. It was like his mind short circuited. The first thought that came through... was how different it was kissing Louis to Haru. The shape of his muzzle, the feeling of his fur, the way Louis' hands framed his face... The next thought was how shocked he was that Louis made the first move. It always felt like Legosi was having to take the lead for any affection between the two. But, now, maybe, they were on the same level.

Legosi pushed back against the kiss with his own muzzle, trying to demonstrate his own return of warmth. But, maybe a little less soft. Legosi wasn't exactly the master of subtle actions.

It was quiet - Legosi was quiet, Louis was quiet. And Louis...ultimately he really liked that about the kiss. He liked that it felt like everything was still, even as Legosi returned it - pushed back towards him. Louis hadn't been expecting that for some reason. Why hadn't he expected that? It seems silly, since Legosi definitely was the first one to realize that he had wanted this. And kissing like this?

Louis had kissed Juno before. And he had kissed his wife. With Azuki it was always so lackluster and empty.

Louis liked it. He liked having a kiss returned from someone who wanted it. Who made the choice all on their own to be here.

His heart raced. He felt warm from the inside out.

So he pulled away, regaining his mental composure as quickly as possible.

It was nice. Surprisingly so. But he had to keep his cool, regardless.

"You sap."

[andthatscalledjazz]

And just like that, it was over. Legosi gently blinked, still caught in the haze of the moment. He almost wondered if it really happened, but, looking at Louis as he called the wolf a sap... Yeah, it did. His tail furiously wagged behind him on reflex. "Uh, am I? I mean, you kissed me, so, uh..." Legosi's muzzle skewed before falling into a smile and a chuckle. "Yeah, guess I am one."

Really, Louis could've called him anything in that moment and he might've agreed to it. He felt like he was floating. "So, um, you... did you like it?" His ears perked curiously. He was pretty sure Louis did, but, man, he wanted to hear Louis say it.

[disasdeer]

"It was fine," Louis offered with the same indifference as he usually has. He doesn't want to give too much, not quite yet. He's never been one to articulate how much he liked kissing someone. And he's pointedly attempting to keep as much of a wall around him that he can while still giving ways to get in. Honestly, he's not sure what Legosi expected him to say.

He probably wanted a true, proper answer.

But Louis wasn't going to give it to him.

"And you can't say things like that and not expect to be called a sap."

[andthatscalledjazz]

Louis' words said it was fine, but Legosi had other queues to draw from with the deer. His hand remained pressed against the deer's chest, so he had ample opportunity to feel the deer's heartbeat. He was still close enough to breathe in Louis' scent, too. All their time spent together, knowing the barrier that he put up... Maybe Louis didn't say what he really meant, but Legosi didn't need to hear it. He knew.

Legosi's smile just couldn't go away. "Is... there something wrong with being a sap?" Legosi hadn't been an overly emotional kid, so, being referred to like he was sentimental almost felt sort of nice. "I don't think I mind being one." If Louis didn't sprint towards intimacy, Legosi would just pick up the slack on that front. "So, um, we should definitely... do dates and stuff, right?" He sheepishly scratched his cheek. "I mean, uh, if you want to! It's totally up to you. I'd love to. Um, what... would you love to do?"

[disasdeer]

"If you want to go on a date, properly ask me to go on a date." It's not like he'd say no, anyway. He's here. Engaging with Legosi, and spending time with the wolf one on one like this. He even kissed him. He's going to let this - whatever this is - be this thing. Even if it includes dates. Even when Legosi is a sap. Even when Legosi says he wants to be Louis'.

He...doesn't know what to do with things like this. Truly.

This dumb wolf....

Louis really cares about him, and he has a hard time fully hiding that fact.

"You know. Tell me when, and where. That sort of thing."

[andthatscalledjazz]

Louis seemed to really be pushing for Legosi to take the reins here. Legosi wished that he was half as self-assured and decisive as Haru was. He could really steer things here. Part of him had hoped Louis would take the reins, but there they were. Louis seemed to be floundering a bit here and Legosi arguably had more experience. He'd hoist himself up and do it. For Louis.

"Well... I'd want it to be soon... We can go somewhere for dinner and then... walk around and talk? Maybe... down in the Ruby Underground?" It reminded him of sitting down with Haru after the incident with the Shishigumi. The warm light and the pleasant smells mingling together... Oh, right! Legosi's ears perked. "Oh! I need to ask- Right!" He cleared his throat and looked into Louis' eyes. His tail idly swayed back and forth behind him. "Louis? Would you go out on a date with me?"

That's... That's how he's supposed to do it, right?

[disasdeer]

"I will go on a date with you," Louis answered - almost immediately after the question was asked. He just wanted to hear that Legosi confidently wanted that. He's been so sappy about it, and so confident in his convictions so far that he didn't think it'd be hard for him, after all.

He didn't want to hear floundering. No 'if you want...' and 'what do you want...' because that doesn't help him at all.

There's an amused shift and he reached out a hand over Legosi's muzzle.

"That's exactly the way to do it."
