"Wait and see."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa. He has to lower his eyes again because he is extremely overwhelmed right now and his brain has stopped.

Gosh he's cute.

Eventually, though, they finish their food, and it is time to return to school.

...This time Edie sits in a seat next to a kneeling pad.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee. He kneels.

Almost absently, she puts a hand on his head and lightly pets his hair.

So adorable!

Yeah he will probably just kneel there with a blissful look on his face for the rest of his trip, thanks.

Sooo adorable.

He'll notice when they reach their stop and she stands up, right?

Well he'll notice she has stopped petting him and pout but get up.

"Sorry, but we need to get off here," she says, gently hooking a finger into the neckline of his shirt and leading him off the bus like her arm was a leash.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa

And then they are back on campus!

She looks at him speculatively, then threads the fingers of one hand through his hair, tightens slightly, and pulls him into a kiss.

Oh look it seems to be possible to melt even more.

Lovely.

Eventually she stops kissing him and says, "So I don't know about you, but I had a great evening."

Takes a couple of seconds for him to recover the power of speech but once he does he says a very emphatic "Yes."

"I think we should keep doing this."

"I would love that."

She puts a finger under his chin and tips it up.

"I think you're a bit too flustered to be thinking straight enough right now," she muses, "but...tomorrow evening, I think, unless you have any conflicts, I want you at my room at four pm sharp to discuss relationship parameters."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa "yes ma'am"

"Alright. I'd like you thinking about this in advance, please, and not just trying to figure things out while we're talking."

"Yes, ma'am." Pause. "Is there anything in particular you'd like me to think about?"

"Limits, particular interests, and interest or lack thereof in monogamy."

"Okay. I'll do that."

"Good." Aaaaand one more kiss.
