[Oh, his eyes practically sparkle at that. That Varian's actually willing to give it a chance. He was expecting him to groan or something- but this is so much better]

Hehe, alright! I'll make sure to find a perfect one for you.

[Time to dig through the mecha genre, oh yes. That's how he'll hook Varian.

There's a rush of excitement as Varian returns the kiss, happiness bubbling up in his chest. This is all so exciting and new, different from how it was with Ryouta. And yet... it felt completely natural. It didn't feel strange to kiss Varian, despite their years of friendship. Aside from the new relationship jitters... he felt entirely safe.

He keeps close as well, resting against his forehead too. He lets out his small laugh]

For me, it's been since that night on the mountain. [A couple of his fingers will start to gently play with one of the locks of Varian's hair] You wouldn't leave my mind.
