Vance felt his cheeks heat up, but he refused to look away from Robbie. And, honestly, things are going a little better than last time. After all, Robbie hasn't run away. So it's a start.

"I probably shouldn't have done that after last time," he admits with a sardonic smile. "But I seem to have trouble with actually talking some times.

"I know that...that I jumped in too fast last time. And I'm not expecting you to return my feelings now. Maybe not ever." He takes a breath, then offers, "But I'd like to go on a date with you. It doesn't have to be public. Vegan pizza and movies in the Crashpad or your room or wherever you'd be comfortable would be great. But just...something simple." Something that could be a start. Maybe.
