Aoi isn't joking. He's lying, and that's worrying Duster more than anything else.

"No one's taking me away. Can you trust me on that?" He waits for him to look at him, but without an answer, he grips Aoi's shoulder and tugs it towards him. "I'm not the kind of person who abandons a friend, and especially not...my boyfriend."

Does Aoi expect him to walk away the moment Lust or Johnny makes eyes at him?

Boyfriend? Now who's moving fast, huh? Partway through their first date, and Duster already wants to call it?

Aoi lets Duster turn him. He does look at other attractive people, Aoi's not imagining it. But still...

"Yeah, I guess so. You're too nice to break a promise." Boyfriend. He's never actually thought about calling someone his 'boyfriend'. It's weird. He likes it, though.

"...I guess...if I'm your boyfriend...I should offer to get you a drink or something..."

He doesn't know how this really works. If you date someone and you want to keep doing it, doesn't it make sense to consider yourselves boyfriends? Even if there are other attractive people nearby, you don't cheat on your boyfriend.

"Good." As a reward, he plants another light kiss on Aoi's cheek. He's getting addicted to this. "I like you, and I want this to work out."

But he's afraid of losing Duster in other ways, isn't he? Zelda's death still hangs in his mind. And everyone's aware of how sudden Crystal Stasis strikes. If anything, he needs to prove to Aoi and he's going to be there.

"You don't have to yet. I don't want to miss the rest of the fireworks."

It's funny. 'I like you' sounds so freakin' middle school, but it sends Aoi's heart racing all the same. Duster's not even kissing his lips. Who knew stupid cheek and forehead kisses were so...amazing?

Thank god nobody else can see them up here. How's he supposed to look tough and cool when he's leaning his head against Duster's shoulder and tentatively threading his fingers with Duster's?

"Alright. Fireworks it is." They've got hours left of the airship ride, so they'll have plenty of time after the firework display ends.

[mindofathief]

Fireworks it is. Duster slides his fingers between Aoi's and closes his hand. Duster's just at the right height that his his aligns with the top of Aoi's. They can sit here forever if they wanted to. Just the two of them and the night sky.

Six months ago, he never would have thought he'd enjoy spending time with the guy called Santa. He was rude and kind of a jerk, and even though he got payback for his teasing, he wasn't that fun to hang out with. And now Duster knows a little more of the truth. He cares about his sister and his friends, violently so. Beneath all that...Aoi's a good guy. Duster is lucky to have someone like him.

He doesn't know what it's like to be in a relationship. A real, actual relationship where they like each other. But he'll do his best.
