[He's not going to deny thaat, but it surprises him how easy it is to admit it. He rubs his neck some more, still a little flushed, thinking that maybe he should give Adela the full story. Before she goes and chats Gareki up about it. His not-boyfriend doesn't need to know Rin thinks about him as his actual real honest-to-merlin boyfriend already.]

And I guess he likes me. We've just... decided to take it slow. He doesn't want to jump into anything and I don't want to rush it either.

He stomps on the thought. He can have an epiphanic revelation later, not while he's talking to his friend.]

But, we're getting there slowly. To the dating part.

[Saying that out loud actually makes his lips twitch up into a gentle, happy smile. It comes to him, he still needs a date for the Masquerade.]
