And with that, his stammer came back with a vengeance as colour rushed to his cheeks. “I d...d...didn’t sssay that,” he said, eyes flicking nervously between her and the floor. “Though th..th...that wwww....would be c..convenient. N..not that is to say I w...wwww ouldn’t want. I mean....” He stopped and forced himself to take a breath, ducking his head so the combination of hood and hair obscured his eyes from view for a moment, his embarrassment palpable.
Edan shifted so that despite his ducked head he’d still half see her. “It would be. And I can’t say I would mind. Though if you wanted to come stay with me, you’d probably just have to ask.” It might be a little mean to make him blush, but it was really cute on him, almost too cute.
It was probably in Matt’s favour that he was already flustered otherwise the impact of Edan’s comment would have been unmissable. As it was, it just caused his blush to deepen a shade as he forced himself to nod by way of a reply. It was a relief really that it was then that something began stirring across the courtyard and provided him with a distraction that could stop him overthinking what she had said.
