Ideally.

[Maybe sounding almost sarcastic isn't the way to go here, but he doesn't like this. He doesn't like talking about feelings, anything touchy-feelie isn't really his thing. This has taken him far from his comfort scene already and the instinct is to close off.

But he can't really do that, so here he goes.

He pushes away from the door to move into the kitchen, careful to avoid stepping on the dog. Standing in front of Mick, he gives him time. Catching his eyes, waiting. Mick is obviously physically stronger than him, but it's not just about that. He doesn't want to press an advantage. Still, he finally kisses him, his eyes closing. There is no confusion here, no mistaking him for anyone else.

The only thing familiar is the heat coming from him and for now, Len doesn't mind. He ends the kiss, but doesn't pull away. Not yet.]

Think about it too, yeah?

[ Len approaches him and Mick doesn't move away, doesn't push him away, doesn't tell him stop. He's been with people before, he's kissed people before but this feels new, feels different. He's nervous in a way he hasn't been in a long time, uncertain but not against it. And he knows what's coming and all his stomach can do is twist while his heart pounds.

And then Len's kissing him and oh. The little fire flickering in him bursts into a flame.

Hell. ]

I --

[ He clears his throat, oddly raspy.

He'd been thinking about it anyway, he was thinking about asking -- but now on the spot with Len inches away it comes out in a rush: ]

I was gonna ask if you wanted to see a movie sometime. With me.

[catchacold]

[This marks the first time in his life that he's been asked out on a date.

At least seriously. There had been joking offers in prison, he's sure. But this? This is earnest, this is clumsy, this is Mick. This Mick.

He lowers his head with a smile, leaning his forehead against Mick's shoulder for just a few moments, almost as if incidental. Then he steps back and responds, mimicking his sentence structure.]

I'd love to see a movie sometime. With you.

[He leaves it at that, because, frankly? This is all a lot and, as he's said, he is not good at this. So Leonard turns and leaves the kitchen. But there is still that smile on his face.]
