Despite the ridiculousness of what Nathaniel had signed, John understood the message. He grinned in response, and signed I would love to walk and eat cake with you today back to him. It seemed Nathaniel knew more sign than John had realised. John felt a little thrill at that realization, and felt again like he wanted to kiss the other man.
"I have no plans," he said. "Or at least, I had no plans. Now I think I do." He hoped he did. He hoped the offer was sincere, and he hoped it was because Nathaniel wanted to spend time with him, too. John was generally pretty good at reading people, and he definitely felt like he and Nathaniel were hitting it off.
