Welcome to Gaia! ::

He could feel his heart in his chest, waiting for Solia to say something else. Because he sure as hell didn't know what to say and had been embarrassed into silence. Not by Solia of course. Though when her hand reached for his own gloved one, he gently grasped hers, his heart pounding even faster then before, if that was possible.

"............"

Zanth was wondering if these two had ever got past grade school considering how these guys were flirting, ans was also wondering when they would finally do it.

Probably not for another century

Okay. This was easy. He could do this. Holding hands wasn't a gaint leap of faith. They could just sit there and hold hands and everything would be-

So you wanna do it?

Jason's brain short circuited. ERROR 406: BRAIN NOT FOUND

His hand clenched hers just a little more firmly. She wanted to do it. With him. This thing just didn't happen. How...What was he supposed to do?!?! Did he want to do it? Hell yeah, even he knew when to go for it when it was offered like this. But...again, how was he supposed to go through with this?! He needed a manual.

Thankfully he was staring at the wall at this point, so she hopefully would of missed the slackjawed wide eyed faces he was making (Although Zanth had not, and he was just watching him, smirking and saying nothing. Dammit why did he even agree to this it would of been better to have him as a sword!)

With a gulp, he turned back to Solia (by now his face would have been a tomato), trying to keep a reasonable face but probably failing at that too.

"...S-sure...w-we c-could do it...If you'd like to." At this he moved a bit closer to her, steeling his nerves as he tried to lean in...just a little bit closer to her.

He take it slow. Really, really, really slow. If she even hinted at not wanting to go further he'd back away immediately. He was a honorable gentleman. He just...hoped he wouldn't embarrass himself.

Zanth was, of course, still watching. He really wished he had some popcorn

Just hearing her wanting to....he almost shivered. He had never experienced these feelings before, never in his entire life. It was....how could he describe it. Warm and mushy? Something along those lines.

His eyes slipped shut as he had closed the distance, the kiss very short but leaving him tingling all over. He felt like a light bulb, with all the little butterflies buzzing around it. Though in all honesty he hadn't felt this good in...forever.

Pulling back, Jason let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding, finally realizing that oh yeah, didn't he have Zanth in the room. Though when he looked over he was surprised to see that Zanthvos....

Was asleep.

How in the world...

"Thats a good question..." Jason mused out loud, turning back to Solia and sneaking his arms around her waist so he could hold her close. A little bold on his part, but at the moment he didn't really care. "But you make a good point...so long as we're quiet...I don't think he'll wake up." In actual fact he didn't have a clue weather he fell asleep or not. Usually Zanth was just a voice in his head.

Seeing how the death trainee's face was also a bright red in color, Jason gave her a affectionate squeeze. "Um..y-you alright?" He decided to ask her, just to be sure. "You're face is...pretty red." Not that his wasn't.

Knowing that she was happy just made everything all the more special to the moon trainee, his own smile showing warmth and affection to Solia as she kissed him. The feeling of her lips on his cheek was...there were no words.

If only he could stay like this forever, just him, and her, and nothing else...

His happy daydreaming was sidetracked by her sudden flustered backtracking. And it took him a moment to realize why she was backtracking in the first place.

"Weapon?" He looked around, then down to where she was looking and- oh, oohhhh. THATS what she meant! Though instead of taking offense, he had to choke back a laugh at her antics. His hand came up to gently brush through her hair. "It's okay, I know what you mean." He said.

"Put up with you?" Jason sounded generally surprised at her. Why would she say something like that? He waited until she looked at him, her gaze making him want to hug her tighter to chase away the worry in them.

So he did, letting her fall against him as he placed a gently kiss to the tip of her nose. "I don't find you strange at all." Her quirkiness, her bubbly personality, her kindness to everyone around her...

And it wasn't like he was any better. He was a uncoordinated coward who could find anything scary if he really tried. Though he didn't want to say this to Solia, didn't want her to see just how afraid he could be at the best of times. Though his eyes may of betrayed his inner turmoil at his own weaknesses.

Jason was finding it hard to feel awful at himself for once. With all of Solia's snuggles, he was struggling to focus on anything besides her. But even so, she had been able to pick up on his emotions. He leaned into her touch, closing his eyes for a moment.

"I-it's not that...I know you wont mess anything up...It's just..." He opened them to look her in the eyes, feeling very uncertain. "I'm not perfect myself...I know I have flaws...and I don't want to disappoint you."
