[He understands her need to be certain, to know if this is really what they both want. In the end, if none of it is real, then they'd both get hurt in addition to having to live through an actual nightmare of being chased down by monsters and maybe even having to figure out parental rights on top of it all. That's too much, the fact that they've received strange powers also doesn't make it better.
Ajax falls silent as he thinks, unable to tear his eyes away from her own. He absolutely doesn't want to betray her feelings, and she's right- he needs to understand and know what it is he really wants, and not what some magic fills his head with. He thinks about what it is he finds attractive about her, what he likes, and what he's looking for in a partner. Yoimiya really does hit a lot of those boxes for him- she's fun, adventurous, brave, charming, and competitive, just to name a few. And even now, holding her in his arms, just feels right. Like this is exactly where she should be, and this is where he should be too- right here with her.]
...I...
[But how much of it is influenced by his mark? It still glows, even now, and his heart is a swirling chaos of uncertainty. But at the same time, as he looks down at her, all he can feel is how much he likes her. How much he wants to press his lips to hers, and do his best to kiss all the fear and uncertainty away.
How much, really, does he care whether it's the mark or his own feelings? Does it matter, in the end, if the mark is something they'll always have anyway?]
...yeah. I do.
[Ajax's eyes soften, hoping that she'll accept his answer, breathing out a sigh of frustration at the fact that this is so much more complicated than it ever had to be. He wishes that somehow, he could've just met Yoimiya normally, and then this would never of been such a terrible situation.]
Despite the terrors we've experienced together, I've had some wonderful moments with you already, and I feel as if you compliment me well. There's no doubt that perhaps our brands might be influencing us both, so if we want to test this a bit farther before we make any sudden decisions, I would be open to that- but you do seem like the kind of girl I'd like to be with.
[His expression unfolds into a soft smile, because he doesn't believe this is something that should be such a dreary moment...instead, it feels more like a relief.]
It feels a little unnecessary to say I'd like to see you more, since we can't exactly avoid it at this point. But perhaps, we can use our time when we're not dealing with our extraordinary circumstances, to go on a date or two?
[They're gunna fuck anyway, so there's nothing to lose there lol]
