Zavien
His heart dip a couple flips and dives as she spoke, briefly questioning whether all this was really happening. It still felt like a dream at times, the emotions so new and heightened that it was hard to stay grounded through it all. He wanted to get caught up in the current and let it take him.
Smiling, he shook his head, equally baffled as he whispered, "Me either." Things with Lena had been different. Not less, but different. She'd been a warm breeze guiding him along, soothing and comforting and supporting in all the ways he needed. Meanwhile, Soh was a rushing current of cool water, overwhelming and refreshing and pushing him in the ways that mattered to him now. The feelings were so different that he couldn't compare the two. It made it all the more disorienting to figure out what he felt for Soh.
Zavien knew exactly what she meant about things feeling right, and he found his head nodding as he tried to put it into words. "It feels like we've always been dating and I have to keep reminding myself that this is new." The smile he wore felt like something planning to take permanent residence, stubbornly whimsical and utterly stupid. "I know there's no time limit or goal for how we grow and learn together, but I also can't help wanting to know everything now." He laughed, shaking his head at how impatient he felt, at how he similarly felt like there was all the time in the world to curl her into his side and never let go.
Tilting his head, his smile turned softer, intimate and vulnerable as he said, "All I know is that I don't want to lose this."
