For Lefttwin

[1foxgiven]

(From here)

Before that

Is this for more science?

Or do you have an interest besides that?



I don't mind either way.

[Just so we're on equal footing here. Because there's a couple more switches flipping. Details filling in.]

[lefttwin]

... I don't know yet. I mean. I think I have an idea.

Cap, you're a good looking guy, and very caring and smart. It's hard not to have a bit of a crush on you.

[1foxgiven]

[Seeing it written so plainly? Kita feels sweat prickling in odd places. Between his shoulder blacked. In the nape of his neck.]

Thank you

Really



I hope this isn't taking advantage of your feelings?

Please promise you'll say if things aren't comfortable

[lefttwin]

Have you ever known me not to speak my mind? Or let anyone take advantage of me?

I'm a little nervous but I'm good.

[1foxgiven]

Fair point.

I'm nervous too

[lefttwin]

=)

Cap, would you like to see more?

And if you want, I wouldn't mind if you sent me a picture.

[1foxgiven]

Yes

But please with pants - Not ready for more than that!

Hang on

[It takes a few tries. Selfies are not his strong suit. Finally Kita gets one that doesn't look... too terrible? At least he's not blinking in it.

Osamu gets a shot of his Captain in a tank top and shorts. Hair still damp from a shower.]

Sorry for the delay! Holidays ate me

[lefttwin]

I'm not ready for more than that off either =P

I like it! Just got out of the bath?

[He sends another. This time a bit sillier, tongue sticking out while he winks.]

THEY DO THAT Happy Candlenights!

[1foxgiven]

Yes

Went for a run

[Belatedly, he realizes he should probably make some comment on the picture?]

I like that one.

[lefttwin]

You're always working so hard. Makes me feel lazy sometimes.

But at least I cook a fair amount.

What the silly one? Guess it is more me than the "sultry" one =P

[1foxgiven]

I didn't know you cooked? What do you like making?

You are silly

And I don't know if I'm a judge of sultry, but maybe you're both.

[Tiny, tiny steps to sort-of flirting.]

[lefttwin]

I do! I enjoy it a lot. Onigiri's my favorite to make. So many different ways to make it.

=P Would you have me any other way?

Maybe I am. I've never tried to be sultry before.

[1foxgiven]

No, I would not

Onigiri's good, especially with tuna mayo.



Really? You haven't?

[lefttwin]

You're the first person I've tried this with.

You're the first person I've wanted to try it with.

[1foxgiven]

[Kita's answer takes a little longer.

Because it feels like all the air's been knocked out of his lungs. He just keeps reading those last two sentences. Smile growing wider with each repetition.]

Thank you

That's

Sweet?



Is that all right to say?

[lefttwin]

I think so? I like reading it. Makes me feel warm.

[1foxgiven]

Okay

And

If I said _you're_ sweet?

[Is this too forward?

(For the 1950's maybe but we will give him a break here.)]

[lefttwin]

Normally, I would say you needed your head checked.

But. I'm trying to be sweet with you too. So.

You're the sweet one, Cap. You're the one who goes out of his way to take care of the rest of us.

[1foxgiven]

[How can one word get your ears to catch fire? Kita's blushing more than at the start of this conversation.

And it began about nude photos.]

Well

The rest of you need it.

[lefttwin]

[Well, if Kita is Demi, that makes sense.

Also, this is way more intimate than talking about Bokuto's supposed nudes]

We do.

But you go above and beyond. Always have. We appreciate you.

I appreciate you.

[1foxgiven]

[The nudes were a theoretical exercise.

This is different.

Kita's never thought there was anything wrong with him. This just... feels like finding pieces to a puzzle. Building a picture he never expected.]

Thank you

Again


So

Now what?

[lefttwin]

I don't know.

I've never done this before.

Do you want to get dinner. Or I could make you something.

[1foxgiven]

[Kita is.

Not prepared for the swoop in his stomach, at that second idea.]

I wouldn't want you to go to too much trouble or anything.

[lefttwin]

It's no trouble at all. I like to cook. You'd be indulging me in my hobby.

[1foxgiven]

All right.

Then I'd like that.

[Which is maybe not expressing the amount of enthusiasm that's actually going on here. It will take practice. After all - Kita has just figured out how to like someone.]
