[SO GUESS WHAT PEOPLE-WHO-LIVE-IN-ALLEN'S-HOUSE-THAT-USED-TO-BELONG-TO-GUTS

IT'S CHRISTMAS.

Which means that the pitter-patter of feet is making its way down the hall, to your room...

and landing on your bed.]

Wake UP! Jeez, 's already 6 AM you sleep too much!

[ooc; OPEN FOR EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE and yes Timothy's yelling can be heard throughout the house.

Edit: Tree thread!]

Naturally.

That was...Startling behaviour, to say it kindly.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I know..I was...incorrect to act in such a way.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

And let me guess, you did not mean any of it?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

[he gives him a look of frustration - he can tell you're being sarcastic there B| ]

I did not.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[He can't help it ;; It was bothered him, and he pinches the bridge of his nose lightly]

Then why...

And your actions? You did not mean those, either?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I just...I wasn't really thinking about them. I...I told you before, Christmas is not a very good day for me.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Yes, and I find that a very poor excuse.

[But he's not beyond forgiving you, so] ...You never answered my question.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I never said it wasn't..

...What question?

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

...

Whether or not you meant your other actions.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

...Besides telling you to stop laughing at the name, no.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Not quite...What I meant.

[Since he said actions, there's a long pause here, and then...hesitantly] Have you lost...Interest? That is, in me?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

What?!

No! Why would you think that?!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[He's startled by the strong reaction to that, and looks at him properly for the first time this conversation. Now he feels a bit embarrassed for asking, so he'll lift his chin a little to compensate]

You simply...Don't behave like one who holds affection for another.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? How don't I act like I do?!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

You do not give affection, to start! And you...Wished to take things slowly, but cannot give any sort of...

[No this is too hard ;; Hi doggy, you can have his embarrassed and irritated attention once more]

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

But...most of the times we have met since then have been in public...

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

[That's a light glare]

And what should that matter?! [It's ONLY HAND HOLDING D<] Unless you are wishing to hide something?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I don't wish to hide anything! But where I'm from it's ungentlemanly and inappropriate to do those sorts of things in public!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

....That's hardly inappropriate contact! You had no trouble clasping my hand on our first outing together. It was 'public'.

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I didn't write the rules of etiquette! In some circles it's seen as inappropriate for a man to go to speak to the person he has romantic interests in!

And that's because you weren't wearing gloves!

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

Oh, because that is going to get you far, Allen!

[Really, could you be any less sweet if you actively tried?] And in that cafe, where I had no need of gloves?

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I didn't say I was going to do that!

[...who knows man, who knows] Well I...I wanted to hold your hand, that's all...even if it was rude.

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

You had better not.

[See, now that's cute, and what he needs to hear] You should want to. And to act upon it when you do!

[save-the-souls.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't, that's some ridiculous upper class custom.

All right, I'll...try, okay?

[excalibured.livejournal.com]

'Ridiculous upper class'?

[A long pause] Thank you, but that alone isn't...Enough. You can't wish to dictate...How we are together, and not inform me of it. [So work on that too and then we are ace]
