You don't have to apologize. I'm just asking —

[...]

...We have lots of memories of our trip, right? Those fifty days.

[lapidarius]

...Yeah. We definitely have that much.

[starmark]

...Well. I want ones of after our trip, too.

Ones like this. You know?

[lapidarius]

So do I. I want us to be able to do something simple like this back at home, and know that I'll never forget it. Even if it's just some small thing without much to it, that's...important, isn't it?

[starmark]

Yeah. Seems like big things will be thrown at us whether we like it or not...so small ones can be nice, too.

[...]

I like playing for you.

[lapidarius]

That works out pretty well, since I like listening to your playing. You're really good at it.

[starmark]

...My dad lives for it, you know. His music. He's one of those people who acts like music is like breathing, he couldn't live without either one.

I don't get how he and my mom do it, staying so close when he's gone so often.

[lapidarius]

...It's probably difficult, but I don't know if it's impossible.

[starmark]

...That's why I want as much of you as I can get. While I have you. There's all the time in the world, but I want the memories, too.

[lapidarius]

I know. I don't want to waste time even if we do have enough of it to spare. I want this to be worthwhile and something we can always remember, especially if anything ends up happening.

...Not...that I'm saying it will.

[starmark]

Yeah. I know.

...So the playing, it's working?

[lapidarius]

It's definitely working.

[He punctuated that with a light kiss to the cheek and a playful smirk, the serious turn in conversation quickly dropped on his end.]

[starmark]

Hm. Good...guess I've got some of the old man's knack for it, after all.

[...]

He used to tell me that if I kept after it, I could make anyone I wanted fall in love with me, with nothing but a guitar.

[lapidarius]

And look at that. You didn't even need the guitar for it.

[starmark]

I didn't make you. You did it all on your own.

[lapidarius]

What, you don't think your winning personality had some hand in it?

[starmark]

You tell me. Did it?

[lapidarius]

...It definitely didn't hurt.

[starmark]

No, but I'll bet my winning fists did.

[lapidarius]

Like taking a speeding train to the face, yes.

[#flirting]

Look at it this way, most people don't make nearly that kind of first impression.

[starmark]

I could say the same thing.

...So if I got swarmed by girls like that again, would you be jealous now?

[lapidarius]

I'm not the kind of person to get jealous over something like that.

[so he says]

[starmark]

So you wouldn't fight for my honor? I'm a little disappointed.

[lapidarius]

You can do that perfectly well on your own.

[starmark]

You can take care of yourself, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't still fight for you.
