[ that's....a sentiment he can agree with. he'd been fully prepared to lose himself with her on that ferris wheel. to forget all about why he'd tried to stay away from her (and everyone) and just...let himself enjoy. he'd never hated the end of a ferris wheel ride so much as he did that night.
it's her next words that catch him off guard, trip him up. what he wants is such a messy thing right now, complicated by a past that he's still dealing with and an uncertain future. he's told her a lot but he hasn't told her everything. there are still minefields lurking but he's not going to just come out with those right now.
instead, he's quiet for awhile, letting her words turn over in his head. when he eventually does something, it's leaning closer to her, lips hovering over hers for a half breath before he kisses her. it's chaste, really, but lingering. sincere. warm. fond.
she'd wanted to kiss him so he could open that door a bit. ]
It's not all about me, you know. [ he murmurs the words, pulling his head back so he can get his eyes on her. ] What do you want?
