[doctorize]

I did, actually.

[... In more ways in one, insert immature laughter here, etc. etc.]

Don't know if I'll ever visit a museum like that again, though, but it was fun regardless.

[hagrides]

Not accustomed to living such a wild life, my friend?

[Yeah he totally figures you got laid.]

[doctorize]

[oh my god don't call him out like this--]

Not at all. Usually I'm far too busy with work or other affairs to even consider going on outings with friends. Or at least that was the case back home anyway.

[He certainly has more free time here with... murder being pushed to the back burn...]

[hagrides]

All the more reason for me to invite you on such outings in the future.

[doctorize]

[wow, are you trying to invite us on actual dates...]

What is it that you like to do, actually? As far as outings go.

[hagrides]

All manner of things. Lunatia is endlessly fascinating to me, being as it is so different from my home.

But perhaps we should start with dinner?

[doctorize]

[Yep, definitely flirting territory, and while Danny's ears do go a little pink, he actually manages a smile of affirmation here.]

You know what, that actually sounds nice. What do you like to eat here?

[hagrides]

[Very definitely flirting.]

Italian is quite tasty. But I would be happy to try any of your recommendations, if you would like.

[doctorize]

Italian is a great idea. As for other recommendations... I've had food at some Chinese places before back home that were pretty good? I haven't eaten any here but I'm sure we could find something similar at some point, but I think I'd like to try the places you've eaten at first.

[hagrides]

Italian it is. I believe the appropriate phrase here is 'it's a date'.

[doctorize]

... Yes, I think that is the correct phrasing here. One that might be a little overdue, all things considered.

[Given he's... already touched the bug man's dick once, at this point these two are obligated to have at least a proper date by now.]

[hagrides]

Please forgive the delay. I shall most certainly make it up to you.

[Grimm bends to take Danny's hand and kiss the back of it, like a gentlebug.]

[doctorize]

[Okay, that gets an awkward sort of laugh because wow, wow!! He's not used to people (or bugs) doing that.]

W--well, how charming of you to say, even though you don't need to apologize for something like that...

[hagrides]

I really must insist. [Straightening back up again.] How else are you to know how I adore you if I do not spoil you when given the opportunity?

[doctorize]

Oh, you flatterer, I bet you say that to many of the boys or girls here.

[But Danny's tone isn't actually that accusatory when he says it, as he's still in a good enough mood to be more teasing than anything here.]

[hagrides]

Only a select few.

[Which Danny is part of, given all this flirting.]

[doctorize]

Well then, I'll see this as an honor to be considered part of your select few.

[And, it's an answer he appreciates for being more honest-sounding because he definitely wouldn't have believed Grimm if he had said it was just Danny he flirted with here.]

[hagrides]

[That would be a bald-faced lie, but considering that his other usual flirting target is Ardyn, it's not like his taste is any better there.

Smiling, Grimm rests a hand on Danny's cheek to try to draw him into a kiss.]

[doctorize]

[And Danny, in all of his infinite wisdom, blinks at the action with his face burning red because umm, what? It's not Iris cycle is it? Did we somehow not notice because we, for once, were not feeling any major effects?

He does consider that maybe it's because they were talking about "dates", so it's just... sentimentalism on Grimm's part, probably. Being swept up in a mood of some kind, that he would probably be doing the same thing if there had been someone else sitting on this couch flirting and making plans about going out to dinner with him. Maybe. He doesn't actually know, and he'd prefer not giving too much thought to the possibility that Grimm does in fact genuinely like him in some manner because he's really not in the mood for having a potential nervous breakdown in Grimm's living room over that.

Regardless, the normal, expected thing to do here is that he should reciprocate, right? And it's not even that he doesn't want to: kissing was actually kind of enjoyable and not really something that should require an indepth amount of feelings to be able to do, he thinks, so this is fine. So one of his hands comes up to rest over top of Grimm's that's against his cheek. He considers the idea of turning his face here so that his lips could touch Grimm's hand, but instead he waits to see if Grimm was wanting a more serious kind of kiss here.]

[hagrides]

[It would be a sweet, but relatively chaste kiss. The serious kind of kiss is one that needs to be worked up to.

After a few moments, Grimm draws back, brushing another kiss against Danny's other cheek as he does so.]

You really are too cute. I should be the one honored to be part of your select few.

[He doesn't imagine Danny goes around flirting with all the boys and girls, either.]

[doctorize]

[It's true, Grimm is part of a very select few that Danny has done anything like this with. Like in the top two, in fact, despite Danny having been in this place for close to half a year now.

But maybe that's fine, because like, two is better than zero, right? Even if Grimm is embarrassing him here sometimes in-between being a good kisser...]

Oh come on, I'm not that cute.

[hagrides]

You most certainly are. And I shall tell you so at every opportunity.

[He hopes one day that Danny will be able to see it in himself, but until then, he'll just have to remind him of it more frequently.]

[doctorize]

[Maybe someday, but until then... Danny has had years of self-loathing ingrained into him that it's hard to undo it sometimes.]

Goodness, you're far too kind for someone like me. I'm honestly shocked that you're not already married or the like given your charming personality here.

[hagrides]

'Someone like you', my friend? [That sounds like self-loathing talk-] I have seen nothing that marks you as less deserving of love than any other.

[doctorize]

[That's because it is self-loathing talk, my friend. And hearing the "l" word there gets him to uncomfortably squirm for a second because that sure isn't a word thats normally used to apply to him.]

Yes, well... I've been lucky that you've seen me here only on my better days, usually.

[Like when he's not trying to kill someone or having a freak out of some kind.]
