[A laugh bubbles out of him at Jun's giggle - that was adorable.]

I never would have guessed!

[It's a gentle tease and his smile softens at Jun's reassurance- and the little kiss on his forehead, that was nice.]

Thank you, I know. I really appreciate that.

[Because good lord, if he didn't need it sometimes, too. Being able to unload his past onto Jun and not having it ruin everything has been significantly comforting. It's given him a safety net he sorely needed.

He sits back while Jun googles that, absently playing with the other boy's fingers in his captured hand. He considers the results.]

To be fair, I existed before baseball did, I'm mostly guessing. [Varian will use that as an excuse as many times as he can get away with, regardless of the fact he's lived in the modern world for over two years at this point. Still, he gives a thoughtful hum.] I'm okay with that, I think. I mean, probably a lot for two people on a first date who barely know each other. But we've known each other for a long time now.

[He smiles, leaning in to press a kiss at the crook of Jun's jaw.]

So, yeah. I'm okay with that... uh, if you are. I mean, I trust you, so-
