[Vergil can Not Enjoy that unpleasant feeling for a while. Such will be his penance for well and truly putting his foot in it. Luckily for Vergil, the storm seems to have passed. There's still a twinge somewhere in Zulius' chest- more from old wounds, old fears being prodded at more than any genuine worry about Vergil's feelings. None of that is on Vergil, not really.

Would he like a little more public affection from time to time? Sure, he's deeply, deeply fond of Vergil and it's... nice to see that feeling reciprocated. But he knows Vergil is always gonna be Vergil, and it wouldn't be fair to expect him to step out of his comfort box any more than it would if Vergil expected him to be tawdry and quiet. They were who they were and Zulius' ego could get them through Vergil's awkwardness.

Still, he tsks lightly. ]

It's not about deserving, Verg. You get it regardless. I think you've earned it and I'm the only one who gets a say in it. So there. [Still, he turns his face, so he can press a little kiss against the pad of Vergil's thumb, then with a playful smile:] But yeah, you best had take it, Handsome.

I announced it to Elliot and that's basically the same thing as announcing it to the entire app.

[Once Elliot knew that was it. EVERYONE knew. That's just how his friendship with Elliot works, they both have a mutual understanding of that. ]

I hear you, Verg. Loud and clear. [Then, a little softer, because as much as he'd like to lean back onto his old habit of brushing aside the Hurt Feelings and covering them with glitter and sass, he does owe Vergil, of all people, a little more honesty than that.] ...Really. Thanks. It means a lot. It was just a reminder of... old stuff. [Old stuff. A Ghost of Zulius' past. The unmentioned and reviled Him. ] It wasn't... all on you. I'm working on it.

[Trusting that Vergil isn't going to make him feel like a pathetic joke and gaslight him into believing it was his fault. It's a work in progress. ]

[ it's been absolutely noted. Perhaps, sometime in the future, he will do something crazily PDA just to prove his sincerity about what's been said today. For now, he's going to do a half-turn and offer an arm to Zulius. ]

Ah, and here I thought you were Gossip King in Kaisou, and now I have to worry about another? I am uncertain if I have ever spoken to Elliot. Now I know to be careful.

[ hahafuck :) ]

I would like to avoid reminding you 'of the old stuff', in the future. Such ghosts should not follow you, and as much as I work on myself and how I handle my emotions now and into the future, I can also learn to be aware of your emotions.

[ now, that being said... ]

Our dinner reservation does await.
I made a point to pay a little extra to have them bring out a couch for you to sit on 'for the occasion'. While they may see you as human, I wanted to make sure you were at your comfort, as well.

[And lo, that day will be another where he flusters the holy hell out of Zulius in a public place. Truly, then, he will be a winner. ]

Hah, I'm the Gossip Queen, Babe. That's much higher- but El does a good job. You should be super careful, he hears eeeeeverything.

[He is doomed, he is so very doomed. Zulius' smile softens as he slips his arm into Vergil's.]

I appreciate you so much, you know that right? Even MORE if you've got me a couch to sit on! I can lounge while I eat which is always a treat!

[Better than awkwardly trying to fake-lean on a chair so it looks like he's sitting on it. He flips on his human illusion, flashing Vergil a grin.]

Okay, Babe, I am SET. Let's go.

I will keep an eye out for Elliot whenever I am doing or saying anything that may get spread around like mushroom spores.

[ taking grip of his arm, he'll start for the door. He COULD teleport them, he supposes, but why not walk. It's not so terribly far a distance that they won't make it there soon enough, but.

It's a nice night and maybe the idea of walking side-by-side with someone dear to you is something he enjoys. Not that he'll ever admit it anytime soon. ]

With how patient you are, I have come to assume you appreciate me for some things.
The owners of the restaurant seemed annoyed at the idea of someone sitting in a couch to eat, but. [ he doesnt have to say that a generous enough tip on top of the reservation culled their arguments quickly. ] It is a special day.

Smart move! He's in the Vogue a lot, he like rules the orchestra pit.

[With an iron fist, even. But at his orchestra staff are sooooo much more efficient now and frankly, Zulius is too scared of Elliot to try and out him, so he gets his little territory within the Vogue and everything is fine.

It is a nice night, and it's very pleasant to be able to walk arm-in-arm with his boyfriend- Zulius is very happy with this turn of events. He laughs softly.]

I mean, more than some. You want me to write you a list, Big Guy? [Because he will! He doesn't need to say it, Zulius can read between the lines. ] Awww, thank you, Babe. I owe you one. I can TOTES make a whole drama about having a leg condition to make them feel guilty about being snotty to you.
