[ well. it's time to make his move. it's now or never, isn't it?

the last thing cyno wants is to ruin their friendship by expecting something more, but.. he has to shoot his shot, right? if tighnari feels differently, he'll let him down easy, and life will go on. they'll remain friends. still, that doesn't mean that cyno isn't incredibly nervous. he's never really done this before, not really, he doesn't have too much experience, doesn't know where to begin.

but he does know that his feelings for tighnari are very strong, and that.. and that he thinks that tighnari feels the same. there's a magnetic pull between them, an easy attraction, surely tighnari must feel it, too. it can't only be cyno. nevertheless, their time at the movie goes well, and their coffee afterward, and when they return to the dorm, cyno screws up his courage and goes for it. ]

Tighnari, I -

[ he stutters, clears his throat, stepping up behind him in the kitchen. ]

Can we talk?

Cyno can only nod, to that. His arms around Tighnari tighten, pulling him in close as he curls up against him, resting his chin atop Tighnari's head, right between his ears. This had all been a bit more complicated than Cyno would have liked it to be, but.. he's happy. It all worked out. That's what matters.

".. mm. All right, let's get some sleep. 'Night, Tighnari."

[tighnauri]

Tighnari nods and he cuddles close to Cyno. He doesn't sleep completely peacefully, his nerves perhaps a little raw still. He feels wide awake before the sun is even up and nuzzles his face into Cyno, contemplating getting up to make breakfast for them but the soreness lends to him feeling a bit lazy.

[cashewlater]

Cyno is an early riser, and he stirs the moment the sun begins to creep through the window. Shifting against the bed, he pulls Tighnari close with one arm.

Wait.. Tighnari? Oh. Oh. Memories of the previous night begin to flood back - warm memories, painful memories. He turns onto his side, scooping Tighnari near, dipping his head to nuzzle along his jaw and throat.

".. morning."

[tighnauri]

Tighnari curls into Cyno even more when the other pulls him close. He yawns a little as he tilts his head.

"Morning... was thinking I should get up and make you some breakfast."

[cashewlater]

"Trying to spoil me?"

Cyno smiles, warm and lopsided, though after a moment his expression dims, one hand lifting to brush the hair from Tighnari's eyes.

".. we good?"

[tighnauri]

"Figured I owed you it," Tighnari jokes softly, sighing softly and just that one movement has his heart skipping a beat.

"Yeah, we are."

[cashewlater]

".. good."

Cyno was still a little worried, but if Tighnari said it was all right.. then it was all right. More importantly, he loves being so close to him like this, it's something he's wanted for such a long time. Nudging at Tighnari's jaw, Cyno presses a kiss there. "Should we get up, then?"

[tighnauri]

"Yes," Tighnari says, tilting his head to press a quick kiss to his lips as he then sits up, stretching slowly.

[cashewlater]

Cyno can't help but smile at that little kiss, feeling giddy inside despite himself. He sits up as well, arching his back until it pops and stretching his arms over his head with a wide yawn. "I'm going to grab a shower."

[tighnauri]

Tighnari is tempted to say that he’ll shower with him but he holds back. His body is still sore and he knows for a fact if he got naked in the shower with Cyno that there’s no way they could keep their hands off each other.

“I’ll make us breakfast.”
