[ Once more they seem to share similar feelings, even if they aren't fully aware of it. The need to feel worthy of such affection. That attraction. There is also that hope that G'raha doesn't mess this up. Doesn't want this to be like so many things that he has tried in earnest to do and have fallen apart. This is something he wants to do right.

The smile upon Zack's face is infectious, really. Raha can't help but return it, though his own is soft. What had started out as a flirtation and a single date - G'raha just entertaining the notion and believing that the other will just sate his curiosity before moving on - has become so, so much more. Then again, that might have been clear to him the moment that they had embraced on that same evening.

Head over heels indeed. ]

The more you tell me and what I discover only draws me in further. In this, I would say we both equally wind ourselves around fingers. Though the stories are only a portion of what I have been admiring.

[ Meaning that it is also largely just Zack himself. His cheerfulness and mannerisms. How much protecting others means to him. That need to do the right thing and the pain that knowing it's not always so black and white.

"Partners" it is, then. Raha is sure that his heart stutters at the confirmation. Something swells within and threatens to take his breath away -

And then Zack says that. That he is going to stay here and rest. ]

I suppose it is pointless to argue with you now, hmm?

[His easy smile stays in place but there is something that aches deep in his chest. He really doesn't know how he deserved the chance to find this. But he has to agree, he's okay with it happening. He's okay with being partners. More than okay.]

Once we're done here and you're back on your feet, we'll talk more.

[More about stories and everything else.]

For now, I've got a corsair to interrogate for the two of us.

[ Ah... He doesn't like that thought. "Interrogation" by Zack who is likely still feeling some kind of way due to Raha's injury.

There's a sigh. He leans towards Zack to give him a peck on the lips. ]

All right. Do not stay out there for too long or I will get back on my feet.
