Guess that's all that matters, huh? [ It is, in the end. No matter how uneasy he might feel about some things, they're totally outweighed by how much he likes Zell. How much Zell seems to like him. ] I don't make the best impression on [ anyone ] adults. But I'd try, for you.
[ He's aware, again, of how close they are. How far into his personal space he's let Zell again. It's strange, and maybe a little too much right now. He gives Zell a kiss on the lips before withdrawing, slowly, and stepping away to find Zell's shirt. ] Here. Let me?
Just be yourself. [He already thinks Jim is incredible as he is.]
If she can love me, then you'll have no problem. [Zell knows he probably wasn't easy to raise.
Returning the kiss just before he's out of range. For a moment he wonders what's up, but then Jim has his shirt. Oh. Yeah. That should probably go back on. Scooting to sit on the edge of the bed and face Jim. Holding out his arms to make it easier. Have at it, Jim.]
You're easy. [ To like. To love, maybe. Jim gives him an encouraging little smile as he slides the shirt back onto Zell. Dressing him is a little more intimate than Jim was expecting, enough that the giddy feeling is rising in his chest again. Did that ever go away? Was that why people were so stupid about this, sometimes? Once Zell's got his shirt back on, Jim tugs him up. ]
[It's making him a little self conscious as Jim's hands are on his top and pulling it down. He wants to keep those hands on him, maybe even pull him back on the bed and him. Instead, he'll get up with Jim's tugging. He can feel his heart leaping in his chest as Jim says date.]
We do have a candle going. [There is a pause.] Do you have something in mind? [They can go steal Zack's tablet to play a game, or mess around on one of their tablets together. Instead of suggesting any of that, Zell is going to snag Jim's hand to press a kiss against his knuckles.]
[ Jim's smile turns soft and shy again at the kiss of his knuckles, but it doesn't stop him from using Zell's grip on them to reel him in for a quick kiss on the lips. ] Nope, but we'll figure something out. We always do, right?
