Day 366 [ Action / Closed ]
[They are nestled into the booth they normally favored when they spent a lot of time sharing meals. The food has already been served and she's pulling another eggroll onto her plate and smiling at her dinner partner. Originally, this meal was a cute suggestion left on a belated birthday gift that signaled things were getting better between them. Now, after their kiss at yesterday's dance it feels like it might actually be a date.]

If I start talking about maps and charts you'll get so distracted you won't even notice me stealing extra eggrolls, right? Something something, percentages, something something, statistics.

	[She isn't actually sure. At least not for how it will affect Nathan.] I might be out more or he might be over more. Maybe the three of us could do some things together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nothing drastic. [ What else could he add? Reassurance that they're not moving in together? Of course they're not moving in together. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. [Dismissive. He busies himself with his ice cream, reshaping it with the little plastic spoon.] If you can date or whatever without hurting each other again, then that's good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. [She doesn't know what else to say to that. Some risks are easier to embrace than others. She was in pretty bad shape there for awhile, but she wouldn't go back to that place. At least she doesn't think so. No matter what happens. She turns her head to look at Reid.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Way to make him feel a massive pang of guilt right then. Well done Nathan, he was just lowering his guard and that's when you strike. Good job. ] We'll, uh. We'll do our best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hey, it was ugly for a while there, and that is not a place that Nathan wants to revisit. If Kitty and Reid are going to be a thing again, then they need to do it better. He's satisfied that they're going to try.] You've both been weird and lonely since you broke up, y'know. [Especially Reid, but Kitty hangs out with a crazy sixteen year-old a lot, so.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She was pretty lonely too. It definitely showed her what a strong group of supportive, wonderful friends she had. But there was always a Reid-sized hole. Maybe part of that was being afraid to fill it up and not leaving room for him to come back though.] I wasn't...weird. Mostly. Maybe a little weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ To be fair Reid was weird and lonely from the start. He's happy to take this opportunity and maybe steer away from all this potential heartbreak and guilt tho. Hope you don't mind some gentle ribbing. ] C'mon, you've always been weird. Your idea of flirting was putting my hand through a tree. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Nathan looks to Kitty for either confirmation, denial, or details that will make that sound less bizarre.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-03-26 03:08 am UTC (link)
	[She smiles and shifts closer to Reid, nudging him lightly with her elbow.] You are. And I was not flirting! I was...demonstrating. I can't help it if you were totally into it. [She may not have been flirting that day, but she was definitely bonding with him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You were totally flirting. Even I knew that. [ He didn't. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Veda had me tag, rolling toward a fade to black situation?

You would have blushed yourself to death if I was flirting and you knew it. And we are extremely embarrassing to be around right now. [Sorry, son.] Um...maybe a movie before bed? [Not that anyone was getting invited to stay for bed. Just might be a nice way to end the night? It didn't seem like Nathan really had more questions in the moment at least. And if he did she figured he'd find a time to ask them.]

	Sure. I don't need to head back just yet. [ Just to make it clear he's not staying the night, in case anyone was wondering about that. And then movies and nights and goodnight kisses proceeded and that was the end of that. Hooray. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
