Kaze was sure a short yet noticeable eternity passed while he tried to find the words to express how he currently felt. Maybe there weren't words. Maybe there was only...
"Me?" he finally managed, sure that it was the wrong thing to say. For weeks, at least, Xander and his siblings had been asking him for little details about Hoshido, about differences in culture, about courting and romance, about...
He'd been sure that it was Princess Camilla who had her heart set on someone but--
Xander nodded, his expression unreadable.
Kaze hadn't expected... It was not at all unwelcome, of course. He truly enjoyed Xander's company and their conversations. He just simply hadn't thought--
"Yes," Kaze said softly. "If you are sure..."
As if weeks of having his entire family gather details for this one moment suggested that Xander wasn't sure. As if...
Another eternity threatened to creep between them while Kaze wondered if he'd erred with his half-spoken question. It wasn't as if they were strangers. Xander knew him. Xander had clearly thought this through.
"I am sure," Xander replied.
And then he smiled ever-so-slightly, and reached to take Kaze's hand.
"Slowly," he added.
Kaze nodded.
And smiled too.
