Theo hadn't expected Ernie to just accept what he'd said, without pushing or asking why or just telling him that he was being ridiculous over a not relationship that hadn't even started yet, but then he hadn't reminded himself that this was Ernie he was speaking to. There was a reason he'd felt the way he had been and hadn't just panicked at the get go, stunned the guy and Apparated out of the situation as he might have otherwise done, especially today. He believed the things that Ernie said, even as he told himself he was being stupid for doing so, even though there was a part of him reminding him how it felt to be held down and bitten and torn apart and that he was putting himself in a position for those exact things to happen again. Ernie wasn't his dad though, Ernie was no animal.
He wasn't expecting to hear Ernie say that his heart was on the line though. He reached out to his glass, turned it and then picked it up to take a sip, using his good hand which showed that his wand wasn't out and at the ready anymore. He put it down and nudged it towards Ernie a little, just in case he needed a little pick me up after all that. "So... what if I am... interested?" he asked, eyes on the tabletop and looking nervous. "What then?"
