[Oh, what's this? Kirk was in such a good mood now that the other man was displaying open physical affection? He knew he had skills. He smirked and kissed Kirk on the forehead soon after.]
I'm surprised he hasn't already posted one. So, you'll go out on the town with me at least one night? Fun, games, revelry? Maybe some good music, slipping into a place or two we shouldn't?
[There was a slow smile curling Vander's lips as Kirk seemed to stumble over a relatively simple word. He pulled them back into a low commitment dance, mostly just swaying on the spot.]
How right you are. I guess we'll have to set a date soon, won't we? What's your schedule looking like?
[He shrugged at the idea of biting. He should save his blood volume for the mission so he was more useful for Kirk if it came to a denial of resources again.]
We save biting for the mission so you can take more without making me tired.
[His smile remained as they swayed. He appreciated buoying Kirk's mood, especially after the heavy topic that had brought him over in the first place.]
It's a night on the town, Kirk. We'll leave the day alone. How about just after mission announcement? We'll have time to prep but also we can have fun playing around.
[He nodded his head slowly, aware that Kirk was going to overthink it. That's just the other man's nature, and Kirk was clearly rusty when it came to having an actual good time out and about.]
I appreciate the effort.
[He kissed Kirk's forehead and stopped their swaying, slowly releasing Kirk while also observing if the other man may not want to stop.]
[Kirk kisses back and decides to let himself get lost in the physical pleasure. Just a pause from thinking about things like vampirism, blood, betrayal, and grief. Vander’s embrace feels good and seems less complicated for now.
[He lingered in the kiss as Kirk leaned into it as well, letting them enjoy the simplicity of physical closeness. His fingers massage the small of Kirk's back as he felt those arms around him, and he waited for Kirk to provide him a bruising hug.
He nibbled on Kirk's lower lip in a teasing manner, mimicking a fake bite.]
[His arms curled around Kirk's waist, and he made a point to lifting the other man off of the floor as they kissed for longer. Slowly, he did pull back, nudging their noses together affectionately.]
Thanks for the visit, Kirk. Don't over think the date, okay?
no subject
Yes. How awful to do that to a friend.
no subject
You'll defriend me afterwards no doubt. You can post a sign on the front door saying 'no fun allowed'.
no subject
Yes, of course. I'm sure Hernan will enjoy that too.

Interesting way to ask someone out.
[He gives a peck on the lips]
Fine. One night. An experiment to see how this goes for us.
no subject
[He smiled, pleased that Kirk was going to let him drag the other man out. Now, he had to plan for it to be fun. He stood them both up again.]
Fine, we should do this before the next mission. Just in case.
no subject
It'll need to be soon. Depending on the mission, we might not have much room to think about...
[Kirk almost fumbles the next word because of how strange it sounds coming from him]
Dating. Unless we count me biting you again because I don't have enough resources again.

I guess any night or day works for me. I'm okay with saving the biting for the next mission.

no subject
That's fine. It's... a date then.
no subject
Yeah, it's a date. Better prepare yourself for a night of fun, okay?
no subject
Ah... I will.
no subject
Good, and don't overthink it, Lamprey. It's for fun, remember?
no subject
For fun. Right. I'll try not to overthink it.
[Though it's a lot easier said than done for a socially awkward introvert scientist]
no subject
I appreciate the effort.
[He kissed Kirk's forehead and stopped their swaying, slowly releasing Kirk while also observing if the other man may not want to stop.]
no subject
This was nice.
no subject
It ended nicely. I think it was a rough start for you. Thank you again for trusting me with that information.
no subject
Thank you for listening.
[Especially as Vander is the first non-Justice League person to know the details of how Kirk was betrayed]
no subject
[He leaned in for a longer and deeper kiss. It was meant to be supportive, but he was very aware it was more than that.]

He wraps his arms around Vander’s torso]
