[A full night's rest and no wine to tire his mind has him in a better state to process what's happened, what has changed here. That dazed feeling can only be blamed on her presence, the warmth surrounding him; the brightness rising to life in his sleepy morning eyes a testament to what her words and her hand on his body can cause. He'll own it, now. Not a dream or a fantasy, but a truth that they arrived at together: wanting this. Her, wanting him. And him wanting her.]

[Dreams are for chumps. This is... nice. Real nice. And once more, he's smiling, bordering on giddy. Everything's been so harsh and intense for so long, a steady series of pain after pain after pain- but here in front of his eyes, something good. His thumb strokes her cheek, and he leans in to kiss her forehead this time, trailing a line down one side of her face, pausing before he reaches her lips again.
He waited last time, with Luna. Took it slow for her sake, worrying he wasn't enough, didn't know what to do. Wasted too much time. Regretted. This time... this time, he'll try harder. He'll find a way to make sure she knows. And first things first-]
...You wanna go out? Uh, with me? [Gods, what a doofus, who else would she think he means?] ...Y'know.
