[ HE GOT U BABE. Which means sliding over and leaning to place both on the nearby table. And then sliding back in Blue's direction, giving him a contemplative once over and crossing his arms.]
You should relax for now, until it kicks in properly.
[Blue feels a small beat of disappointment when he glimpses Yzak's posture closing up in his peripheral. it may be just practiced and comfortable for him, but...well...he can't really hang onto Blue when he's doing that, too!
he sighs gently, looking down at his own hands in his lap.]
Wouldn't you...? [he lifts his head and looks him in the eye. it's not accusatory, but Blue can't help but have that bit of intensity in his gaze - that Mu vibe.] Were it you.
[that knee-jerk response and backpedal pulls a little smile out of Blue, some of the unintended severity watering to softer tones on his features. there's a little color left behind by that tail-end remark.]
No? [he tilts his head a little.] That's a relief to hear.
[ He's also coloring when Blue calls that a relief. ]
Why would it be!?
I mean - [ That gets him to uncross his arms at least, so he can wave a hand. ] I don't think you can give a rain check for something like that! Can you...?
[ His voice gets a little higher because he's not really well versed in discussing a convenient time to do something like this. ] I'm just saying it's not off the table so I can do it any time!
[ And after blurting that out, he looks mortified because that made him sound like some kind of salacious bastard man. ]
[Yzak's flustering...it's really endearing. Blue breathes out a little laugh, shaking his head amidst the embarrassment radiating out of this man. this kind of fuss isn't terrible, this little struggle to be clear and confident in the face of some clear unknowns...]
I understand. [he catches the errant hand that had been stalled by mortification in the midst of the gesture, gently grasping it in both of his and bringing it over to him. he gives it a gentle, reassuring squeeze as he smiles at Yzak.] And I'm glad. Thank you.
[ It's hard to politely offer your intention to go to the bone zone at any time when you're still so unsure about so many things.
Blue's laugh and the touch of his hand help ease that fluster a little (a little, because those little things still cause similar, fluttering feelings within Yzak). Especially because... ]
Obviously that's not all I'm interested in, here!
[ Because Blue's reaction brings Yzak back around to the fact that laughing and smiling means he's feeling better than he was a few minutes ago. And that's ... far more important to him. Those two intentions colliding do cause him to wonder, though. Offering up that sort of intimate physicality, allowing his hand to be grasped and taken like this, so easily, when he's always so guarded. There are reasons for it, reasons why he only allows Blue to do it like this.
He likes him. A lot. (d a n g e r o u s)
Feeling warm hands around his, Yzak gives a small, quick squeeze back to emphasize what he says. ]
I'm far more relieved that you seem to be feeling better now.

[ A beat, as he hears that little sigh. And his own voice softens some more. ]
You better not feel bad or anything.

[ God damn it. ]
Okay, fine, maybe a little.
Just don't let it bother you that much! Because it's fine!
It's. It's not like it was a one time chance or something.
