[ 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.

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.

[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.]
