"What?" Rationalize the enjoyment? He hadn't felt the sort of enjoyment that had to be rationalized away, had he?

Had he?

He had. He definitely had.

"That won't be necessary." If Gaheris offered a way to rationalize it away that would be admitting that there was a thing that needed rationalizing. But then, this whole conversation had already pretty much done that.

"I had fun dancing. There's nothing wrong with that."

"...I'm enjoying myself as well." That seemed safe enough to say, if anything. But his statement very much indicated even not dancing, standing that closely to each other, he was still enjoying himself.

Again he shifted, letting both his hands rest on Dylan's chest. "Funny, how there's nothing wrong with that, but you can pick out what's wrong with everything else."

Dylan did step away then. Stared at the ground for a moment to remind himself why he had to step away.

"I'm engaged. And Sarah isn't a Nietzschean."

And that was as close as he'd ever come to admitting out loud that he wanted them both. He could hardly believe he'd said as much as he did.

He was surprised that he had. In fact, Gaheris could hardly believe it, and had to replay over and over in his mind that he'd given voice to a subject he'd been careful to dance around.

But now his hands were at his sides, and they felt a little cold.

"It's fortunate that you are. We would produce horrible looking offspring." But the smile that followed the joke ached a little bit, as he came about as near as he could to directly saying that he wouldn't have minded Dylan being a part of his family.
