[Excuse him while he sputters a moment. Shit.]

YES! I mean... ofcourseitis. I mean... I don't necessarily like cats, but... No, it's a compliment, I swear!

[dandyofawolf]

Oh? So you don't like cats but it's a compliment that I'm cat-like?

[He really is still teasing him. Because Orion is making it sooooooo easy.]

[bitemefightme]

[Orion flusters and buries a face in his hand.]

No. I mean yes. I mean...shit....

.....Maybe?

I like you is what I mean.

[dandyofawolf]

[Biffy reaches out to touch that hand on Orion's face.]

You like me?

[His tone is more gentle now.]

[bitemefightme]

[He hesitates a moment, almost freezing up entirely. A heavy breath.]

Yea. I think so.

[dandyofawolf]

[Orion is so endlessly adorable...]

And if I say I think I might like you too?

[They're still feeling things out but he's pretty confident.]

[bitemefightme]

[Wait...]

...You do?

[He might have released a breath he didn't realise he was holding.

It's not completely one-sided then.

Not that he had sufficient reason to believe otherwise.]

I'd... I'd like that alot.

[dandyofawolf]

Good thing I do then, hm?

[He laughs softly and...

...gets his first memory. There seems to be no trigger for it but it just happens and it turns his cheeks bright red as his eyes widen. And then he's covering his face.]

I...apologize. It's not you. I promise. I just think...I learned what it's like to get one of those...memories.

[bitemefightme]

[Wait, what just happened?

....

Shit, that's cute. Still though.]

Are you okay?

[He reaches out to set a hand on Biffy's arm, but then hesitates. He has no idea what this memory is, and the last thing he wants to do is trigger something.]

We can go someplace else, so that you don't have to worry about people.

[Honestly, he's prepping for if Biffy starts having a panic attack. It's the only thing he can think of at the moment.]

[dandyofawolf]

I'm alright. I just...wasn't expecting that.

[He gives a little laugh and he's still quite red. As daring as he is he knows he's not that daring. Even in that memory he remembers being so embarrassed.]

Have ever heard of the dreams where you have something important to do and find you forgot to...to put your clothes on?

[He looks down, still quite flustered.]

I...I remember being...without clothes. In...front of...Queen Victoria...

[bitemefightme]

[Queen Victoria?

Wait...

Without clothes.

Orion's face goes right into his palms. Thanks, Retrospec. Now he has that lovely, fantasized image in his head. And it's not the time or place to be having that.

He tries to mumble something through his hands, but it's mostly indistinct. He's so sorry, Biffy.]

[dandyofawolf]

[Yep. He's still red in the face. Even as he coughs to try to recover himself.]

I apologize for...whatever that was.

[What on earth brought on a memory like that?]

[bitemefightme]

No!

[Sorry for the sudden volume change, Biffy. He didn't mean to say that so loud and abrupt.]

I mean... you don't need to worry about it. The app does weird stuff like that all the time.

[He knows he's had terrible things he'd rather not remember. So, Biffy's allowed to have his.]

Don't apologise for that. It's Retrospec's fault.

[dandyofawolf]

[His eyes widen in surprise at the sudden volume before he relaxes again with a little laugh.]

Well thank you for that. I do appreciate the support.

[bitemefightme]

[Excuse Orion while he just embarrassedly hides his face in his arms, slumping onto the table. He got a little excited there, didn't he? His bad.]

Yea, it's the least I can do.

....

If they ever give you shit, let me know. I'll go kick their asses for you. And make sure they pay for whatever they broke.

[dandyofawolf]

[He laughs a little and reaches out to touch his arm gently.]

Thank you. But there's no need for violence. It's very kind of you to want to watch over me like that though.
