I know, that's why I was so nervous! I have to try a lot harder to be likeable!

Yeah, that's definitely not what was happening.

[...] What do you think was happening, exactly?

Sparks. Two very charming and attractive men were very charmed and attracted to one another.

[...] Was I that obvious?

Baby, it was like foreplay.

Oh, Jesus. What if I scared him off?

Also definitely not what happened.

He's so wholesome! Did I look like a weird pervert??

Woah, no. You were both very wholesome and sweet. I'm sorry, I was just teasing you. I obviously can't speak for Blythe, only what ~~we all~~ I saw, but this is good. This is a good thing.

Are you sure? 'Cause I'm really out of practice and have no idea what I'm doing.

I don't think anyone here has much practice in dating successfully during an apocalypse. We're all out of practice. Are you interested in him?

[...] Yeah? Unless saying as much would scare him off so that he never talks to me again?

Whether it's as friends or more, I think it's safe to say that Blythe is interested in you too. I don't think you'd have to worry about scaring him off regardless, Niko.

You're a catch. Own that.

I'm really not, though. He saw me jogging in dress pants like some sort of weirdo.

Okay, but I say this with all the affection in the world I have for him: it's Blythe. He was charmed by that wasn't he?

I don't know!! He's just so nice!!!

He was charmed. Next?

What if he thinks I'm weird and he's just being nice about it because he doesn't want to hurt my feelings?

I don't think he would have sought you out for a long conversation at a gathering full of a lot of people he could make an easy escape to, if that were true.

[...] Good point. So maybe it's okay if I asked him ~~on a da~~ to hang out again?

Even if he's not interested in you like that, you'd make a great new friend. You have nothing to lose, only something to gain.

Well, thank you. That's kind of you to say. Also I'm really sorry you had to witness that. I'm not usually so... Obvious, but I guess I just got really excited 'cause he's so fun to talk to, y'know?

Hey, I shouldn't have pointed it out like that, especially if it made you self conscious. You have nothing to apologize for, especially not excitement over chatting with Blythe. I meant it when I said it was sweet, and it's your business. Just don't...keep yourself from a good thing.

Even if it's just a platonic thing, I would be happy. It's nice to make new friends, you know?
