He laughs into Lev's mouth and pulls him closer. 

Lev is going to make out with him for as long as he wants to be made out with!

Then it will be quite a while before they stop, but eventually Sasha's parents are going to get home and Lev should probably go before they do. 

That's fair. 

"Same time tomorrow unless you have an emergency?"

"Same time tomorrow unless I have an emergency!" 

Then Lev goes home and sends his parents an email about how he's joined a study group that meets every afternoon. The email has citations of the research about how study groups improve your grades.

And Sasha flops onto his bed and opens a blank note and drafts ways to tell Asher about Lev. 

it's probably going to take longer to get the kingpin results, I have... a thing

that's chill 

thank you again for the assassin tipoffs 

if you're dead I can't write my fansite!

it's an excellent fansite 

I would not want to interfere with its continued existence  

I've been grinning at the wall stupidly all evening because I have a ~boyfriend~

my parents are suspicious

I think they might think I'm on drugs

omg 

lev that's cute 

💜

YOU'RE cute

what's up

To Asher: 

I have acquired a boyfriend!! 

he knows there's a person I'm not-quite-dating but doesn't know that the person is Asher Stark

because holy shit guess what I don't want to explain 

And to Lev: 

no u 💜💜

you are definitely so much cuter than me!!!

congrats on the bf, if he breaks your heart I'll drop him off a building

and then catch him

because I am a pacifist

don't you regularly fight people with your robot laser suit 

like not that I think you should drop my boyfriend off a building and not catch him, just 

I only fight people in self-defense or defense of others which is in fact allowed in most variants of pacifism

and I don't kill people

like, actually, not the "knocking people out doesn't kill people right" thing you get in movies

wellll that's not strictly true

before I turn people in to the police I ask them if they'd prefer being murdered to being a victim of the US criminal justice system, and I have turned a blind eye to marlo or deadpool or natasha killing people if they escaped a lot or threatened the Met

huh

I mean that makes sense given the weapons thing but I hadn't really thought about it 

I don't have any particular philosophical objection to killing people but my powerset is not super geared towards lethal force so 

shrug emoji 

I don't object to people killing people in general but I shouldn't be allowed to do it

...yeah 

I haven't seen a ton of your interviews but that makes sense as a position for you to have 

man, don't trust my interviews, I lie in them all the time

I have too many secrets

I will make sure not to 

also, it's not like I'm going to forget, but next time I see you I need to hug you
