Too much commitment. Besides, this way I'm supporting the local economy or some shit.
[This... is going to be fun.
It's a surprising thought, one that's swiftly followed with a smirk as he shoves his hands back into his pocket, follows at a more sedate pace as a plan of attack - and this is definitely more strategy than anything else - starts to form in his mind.
Because he knows now, doesn't he?
Yes, that undercurrent of attraction is still there between them, now that he understand what it feels like, how to see it through Lavi's facade, but to push at it carelessly would be dangerous. Both to their friendship (and much as the 'bookman' side of his partner has tried to negate it, it's still there), and to whatever this is.
Figuring out the how of it, unfortunately, isn't something that comes easy to him.
For now, little things - gestures, breeches in personal space - will have to be enough. They should set Lavi off balance, force him to think, to try to interpret Kanda's intent (and then likely second-guess that conclusion because the first would have been seemingly impossible even three months ago), but it's a start.
At least, until he can figure out a better approach.
Otherwise, his own impatience and inclination to action will have him simply cutting to the chase and as much as he's sure he'd enjoy another kiss like the ones they'd shared that night... he's fairly sure Lavi would deck the hells out of him at this point in time.
Finally catching up to Lavi, he glances from his partner to the scrolls that seem to have his attention, brows furrowing slightly with feigned curiosity.]
How do you decide which one you want? They all look like old rolls of paper to me.
