Jamie swung their hands gently as Kaji led the pair toward his home. Jamie was pretty sure it was going to be an apartment, or a dorm. After all, what else could a young college kid afford? There was no reason for a house unless you wanted to start a family or if you had a lot of stuff. Kaji didn't seem like the type for the latter, and Jamie was pretty sure the other Ookami wasn't going to be having a couple of kids any time soon.
As the complex neared (and Jamie mentally congratulated himself on a proper guess)he was struck by the sudden desire to kiss Kaji... Not that he could really act on it yet. That would just get him smacked in the face (or punched)... But...
"I want to kiss you." Jamie said, breaking the semi-companionable silence. He left the statement in the air for Kaji to react to, for he wasn't certain what else there was to say.

The redhead froze in response to his companion's words; his entire body seemed to stiffen as his eyes widened with surprise. It took a few seconds for the statement to really sink in, but once it did the reaction was immediate. Kaji spun around to face his clanmate, inadvertently pulling his hand away. He consciously wiped all surprise clear off his face, leaving only the normal, defensive expression. Jamie couldn't be serious... Why would he say something like that? He was joking. Yeah, that was the only answer that made any sense...
"You're kidding," the Ookami deadpanned. He honestly couldn't take anything like what the Irishman had just said seriously at all.

Jamie blinked in surprise as Kaji's hand slipped from his own, and his fingers felt cold and alone as soon as the other pulled his hand away. That was honestly new... he hadn't felt that sensation since he and Louise had been together and she had gotten mad at him. A bolt of fear lanced through the redhead. He had pissed Kaji off, hadn't he? Dammit! He knew that had been a bad move, him and his big mouth!!
...But he couldn't just lie to get out of it... He DID want to kiss Kaji... He wanted to hold him and watch him make his art even better and to even dance with him... So why shouldn't he say so? Besides, it was a wretched man who lied to the one he loved, and Jamie wasn't a wretched man.
"I'm serious." He replied after a moment. "I don't lie about things like this." He added on. "Ah 'course..." He glanced aside. "I won' if ya don' wan' me to..." He'd never FORCE himself onto someone else. He was a manwhore, not a rapist. There was a difference.

At this point, Kaji's mind went blank. He didn't know what to do or say; any reaction at all was beyond him. All he could focus on was the painfully loud echo of his racing heartbeat. Despite Jamie's words, the redhead still found himself disbelieving, certain that this whole thing was a joke. But part of him knew it wasn't, and that was the scariest part.
"I..." The Ookami focused his faze on the sidewalk. His hands curled into fists as he struggled for words. "I have to go..."Kaji turned back towards his apartment building, still inwardly struggling to make sense of everything. For a moment he tried to add something, but found no words available. So instead, he simply started towards the complex, fighting the powerful urge to just start running.

Jamie watched as Kaji began walking. It wasn't like him to be speechless, but right now he wasn't certain what he should say to the other redhead. So he just watched as Kaji made his way over to the building, and he resolved to double his efforts to woo the other Ookami. So with that thought in his mind, he opened his mouth to speak. "I'll see ya 'round, then." He said, just loud enough for the other to hear it.
Of course he would see the other Ookami. Probably the following morning when he woke him up with a flute solo or something of the like...

Kaji paused at the complex door at the other Ookami's words. After a long pause, he decided to pretend he hadn't heard the Irishman and continued inside. It wasn't like he would know what to say anyway.
The long trek up the old staircase to his fifth floor apartment gave Kaji plenty of time to think, much more than he'd like. His thoughts were almost impossible to make sense of at this point, so he did his best to ignore them.
A long breath escaped the redhead when he was finally safe inside the tiny one-room apartment. He leaned back against the closed door, shutting his eyes and biting the inside of his cheek. A moment later he moved forward, habitually emptying his pockets. There was some hesitation when he came upon the slip of paper with Jamie's number written on it. Initially, Kaji leaned towards the trashcan, as if to toss the number away. But not even a second later he had turned the other way, sticking the paper to the refrigerator instead.
He would decide what to do with it later (although part of him knew it wouldn't be ignored for very long).
