"Well. Um."

"If you like it then it's not so awkward!"

"Oh, yes! That makes sense."

Haru chuckles and kisses him.

Kisses!

And snuggles and eventually pants going back on.

If Lucien is a bit disappointed about this he isn't going to show it.

"I will see you again soon." Kiss. "I'm gonna go home now though."

"Yes this was really nice!"

...one more kiss.

What about two more kisses?

Fine, fine, but only because he's so adorable.

Lucky him.

And then Haru's heading off into the night.

Lucien flops down onto his bed.

... And gets himself off thinking about the night, which he's pretty sure is allowed.

The next day he's got an email asking if he wants to do more powers testing with guiding to follow.

This sounds like a great idea! Lucien will bring paper and pens and a ridiculous calculator watch he found at Target. 

Cricket is ready by the time he arrives at Haru's to be test-booped. "But you must give me plenty of time to leave the area," he says disdainfully. "Before you do any nonsense."

"Of course. Uh, where should I be tapping you?" Lucien does not know talking cat etiquette.

"The top of my head is fine. Do not pet me backwards."

"Got it."

Lucien can start the timer running on his calculator watch at the same time as he taps Cricket like so.

"Now what?"

"I'm timing it to see how long the tag lasts, which doesn't require either of us to do anything, except probably I should not touch you again."

"Will you be able to tell if I go somewhere else?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that won't influence it."
