[...Is not dating on the understanding that they might immediately begin dating when Barron Graduates actually not dating? Because... what with the hand holding and stuff, Prefect feels like maybe this isn't actually a very safe distance from dating...
On the other hand he is struggling quite a bit not to grin like an awkward teenager. This is pretty much the first time that someone has actually asked him to date them instead of jumping right to the sexual propositioning part of the arrangement.]
Is this why you didn't want me going speed dating?
[Prefect glances down at the hand holding, then back up to Barron.] Well... Comrade, even if you and I... even if there wasn't ever a chance of anything happening between us in that kind of a capacity, I really would only be looking for friends.
[Prefect said, encouragingly. He felt a little bit like Barron might be overestimating the significance of their relationship now, and he wanted to be careful about that... On the other hand, he also sort of felt butterflies in his stomach, so he couldn't be entirely negative about the prospect either.]

Date: 2012-10-29 01:18 am (UTC)[Prefect was right on the mark. That made Barron uncomfortable, but he didn't let go of Prefect's hand.] Actually, yeah. Yeah, it was.
[Ah, honesty.]

So you don't need to worry about that.

Date: 2012-10-29 10:58 pm (UTC)[Because as far as Barron was concerned, you were so banned, Prefect.]

This was a good talk.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-10-29 11:39 pm (UTC)It was. [Barron glances down at his cuts.] Made me forget about this for a bit, at least.

Date: 2012-10-30 12:19 am (UTC)Yeah. And hey, at least most of them have stopped bleeding.

We should go get you some food now, Comrade. And more water, ideally...
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-03 10:16 am (UTC)[Barron grins, a little bit too wide.] I think we should have a drink to celebrate.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-03 10:30 am (UTC)[Prefect pats Barron gently on the arm] I feel like drinking heavily right now may actually kill you...
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-03 10:51 am (UTC)[Barron sighs, disappointed.] I could use some food, then. Maybe some coffee.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-04 03:06 am (UTC)Let's go eat then. And maybe we'll get a drink in a few days, when you're in better shape.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-11-05 09:58 am (UTC)[And cue a warm smile at you, warden-boyfriend.] I'll be looking forward to that drink.
