This would be a nice, salutary moment if Credence didn't immediately ruin
it by kissing the corner of Quentin's mouth and then immediately throwing
himself backwards.
"Don't apologize," says Quentin, utterly flabbergasted, "just- come back here. Wait, talk to Shiro first- but then after you do- standing invitation to come back over here on a more decisive basis is an invitation that stands."
Bowled over though he may look by the development.
"No pressure. Weird timing, since a minute ago I wasn't sure we were still- well, anyways. Two point five edging into three once we're settled and secure with one another."

"Sorry. Sorry."

"...I have a question. About...something else. Not to do with any of this."
no subject
Date: 2019-02-05 02:35 pm (UTC)Which is about all he can offer.
no subject
Date: 2019-02-05 02:39 pm (UTC)He bites his lip.
"...Is there a way of finding out who shared a dream with me without just...asking everyone?"
Because he's not uttering a word on the network about his weird Grindelwald sex dreams.

"-unsure. I would need to sit back and spend some time on the idea."

Date: 2019-02-05 02:49 pm (UTC)"Thank you. There was someone I didn't recognise from the Barge, but it wasn't someone from home, and...I want to know who saw what he saw."
no subject
Date: 2019-02-05 02:59 pm (UTC)He reasons, quietly, and shakes his head, trying to get himself to really not talk about it. Except-
"It's- up from one point five to two, by the way. I decided I was being dumb. Just- full cards on the table."
no subject
Date: 2019-02-05 03:02 pm (UTC)"Oh. Right. That - that's good. I'm..."
Awkwardly jealous. Even more embarrassed somehow.
"I'm happy for you."
Also true.

"Which is- up to you to think about."

Date: 2019-02-06 07:28 am (UTC)"Oh," Credence says, vaguely wondering what would count in a capacity of half a boyfriend. "I - yes. I...I will."

"No pressure. Weird timing, since a minute ago I wasn't sure we were still- well, anyways. Two point five edging into three once we're settled and secure with one another."

Date: 2019-02-06 07:38 am (UTC)Credence just nods, very nearly as pink as Quentin.
"And - I need to talk to Shiro. I don't know how she'd...feel. About that."
no subject
Date: 2019-02-06 07:43 am (UTC)He says, breathing in a deep breath and letting out again.
"Good, good, moving on then. How is Shiro? And how's Ray turning out?"
no subject
Date: 2019-02-06 07:51 am (UTC)"She's been in a coma for a while. I haven't spoken to her much since I got back."
Which makes this small transgression feel worse somehow.
"Ray is fine. There's no magic in his world, or he doesn't know about it, so I think he worries about how to deal with me."
