What. ( he blinks a few times. This has to be a joke. That's what it is!! ) Uhhhh, I guess?? Maybe? I dunno.

No, no! I wasn't really expecting that. I mean, first time I've heard someone say that. ( he gives a little shrug, leaning back into a chair, giving a smile. )

Nope. I don't really get that. I've heard some people say the opposite, really. For different reasons.

( hearing that made him a little giddy, their tail wagging. ) Thank you.. that's really sweet of you to say.

You.. want to kiss me?? Not that I'll say no.

( oh!! Their tail is wagging. ) Mm-hm! I.. I would like a kiss, please?

( he's a little giddy, a blush spreading over their cheeks as they step closer, softening their expression. ) I really like the sound of that.. it sounds so nice coming from you.

( this was an odd feeling, leaning into his hand, closing their eye. ) And you're breathtaking.. I could stare at you all day and never get tired..

( he returned the kiss without a second thought, keeping the poet close. Short and sweet. The shark was absolutely smitten, leaning to press some kisses on Edgar's face. )

I could say the same about you. You're just.. so amazing. I always adore the time we spend together. ( he couldn't contain the smile, kissing his cheek. )

Yours as well. It's just so.. so soothing. Calming, too. ( they're leaning into his hand like a cat, placing their hand over his. )

( he made a little happy sound, hugging him tight. ) Ah.. shall we make things official for us? As boyfriends..?

Please.. I would love that very much. To be honest, I was also afraid. I didn't want to be overbearing or "too much." ( he relaxed, resting their head on his shoulder. )

( ough, sunshine.. he's melting. ) I know.. and I'm glad, grateful that you're willing to accept me.

( he let's out a laugh. ) Mm.. do you want to sit down? Make things a little more comfortable?

will you be able to forgive them after listening to their sins?

( they brushed their thumbs over Edgar's knuckles, tugging him toward the couch to sit down. )

Man. My stomach hates me today!

( he's reading a book about poisons.. ) May I help you?

( Ceto stares, kind of disgusted and put off. ) I would appreciate it if you didn't look through my belongings. That's rude.
