[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?

[Especially as Vander is the first non-Justice League person to know the details of how Kirk was betrayed]

[Kirk was totally going to overthink it.
If anything, that amused him as he stepped away and put some distance between them so he could slip off and grab a shower before work.]
