(Nooo it was adorabllllle)

HE'S REALLY HAPPY HARU THOUGHT SO. HE IS GOING TO NEED TO STAND UP AND HIDE IN HARU'S NECK NOW.

Awwww hugs. "Maybe, uh, it'll get easier with practice."

"Maybe! We'll see if it'll be any easier with the new one later today! But it's very ego-syntonic to do this kind of thing because of how much I love you so maybe not!"

"Oooh there's a new one?"

"Yes there's a new one, jury's still out on whether it's any good but I'm not a good judge."

"You recited it to an entire jury before me? Oh dear." Squeeze.

"The jury is strictly internal to my own brain and half of it didn't even make it."

"Didn't make it?"

"No they were too embarrassed to witness it. Only the bravest half of my brain showed up."

"Your brain sounds like a strange and populous place."

"It gets very loud sometimes. 

"Let's go get lunch, it's about that time."

"It is about that time. Should I unearth an opinion or do you have a plan?"

"What do you take me for? Of course I have a plan."

"This is delicious, have I had it before or are you just a really good guesser?"

"This one's new, but I got a sense of your taste. Although you do seem to underestimate how much you end up liking very good food."

"I guess that's not terribly surprising, I haven't had a lot of it!"

He wiggles in place a bit.

"What?"

"Just—I hadn't really thought about it but—I like being your first—anything. The first one to show you something you like."

"You have had at least one prior occasion to notice this today alone."

"Well yes but I had already thought about the fact that I was your first that. I hadn't ever thought about being your first really nice restaurant date."

"Well, enjoy." Nom.
