Alcohol, an irresponsible situation, and a backseat of a vehicle all optional. Teenage angst and hormones not optional. All teenage characters from any time, setting, or canon welcome, as are adult characters aged down.
Just Feeling It Out: Maybe you'll finally get to touch a boob!
Accidental Boner: Oh. Hi there, downstairs.
Deep Kissing: Heavy tongue action.
Flawless Approach: WILL YOU PLEASE HAVE THE SEX WITH ME? always works.
Party: A crazy atmosphere can lead to crazy decisions.
Goofballs: Both of you kind of suck at this, but at least you're cute.
Experience Difference: It doesn't count if it's not with you. That's what you tell yourself, anyway.
Boyfrands/Girlfrands: Finally rounding those bases with your honey.
No Play: They've told you no touching them below the belt. Oops!
Fumble: You touched the wrong place or said the wrong thing. Is this the end of your adventure.
Desperate: Please, please, please, let me stick it in.
Oral: Sometimes, you just want to kiss someone there.
Feels So Good: Let's hope you can last.
Love Confession: Now is a good a time as ever to tell them how you feel
Success: Awww yeah, break out the cigarette.
Failure: Hopefully they'll forgive you for staining their clothes.
I have been there. It's a nice place to relax and read a book, or to nap.
[Anywhere is good for a nap if you think about it. Well, almost anywhere. He wouldn't recommend the dining hall or training yard. Too many people to interrupt and no where particularly comfortable to rest.]
When would you like to go? Any time is good for me.
[He will gladly skip class for this. As if Linhardt needs an excuse to skip class.]
Hmm... Tomorrow morning? There's a nice stream around there that looks gorgeous in the early morning light. Maybe I can show you it.
[Claude doesn't honestly care about his attendance or his grades, so long as he does the bare minimum of both to keep from being expelled. Sure, there's more riding on him as a house leader, but he really takes that whole thing less seriously than Edelgard or Dimitri. So, skipping class is fine by him.]
[If there's ever a good reason to wake up early, this is it. And since everyone else should be busy in class, who will notice two students from different houses sneaking away together?
The chances of one of his classmates searching for him again must be low at this point. Surely Edelgard and Hubert have given up by now.]
Claude? [He doesn't wait for a response.] I was sure you would turn me down. I'm very happy I was wrong.
Hey, I'm happy you asked me. Really. It doesn't bother me what house you're from, or whether you're from the Empire, or whatever.
[Just as, presumably, the odd rumours about Claude and his sketchy reputation don't seem to bother Linhardt.]
Rivalries are fun, but I like it even better when the houses are able to get together and enjoy ourselves. So if someone reaches their hand out to me, who am I to turn them away?
I feel the same way. We can't control where we're born, can we?
[The rumors don't bother him at all. Why bother trying to sift through the chatter for kernels of truth? It's best to simply spend time with Claude and get to know him that way.]
Oh...
[Even though that question is clearly meant to be positive, Linhardt's mind immediately starts churning out unpleasant thoughts in response. Does this mean that Claude will only see his invitation as friendly? Would he have accepted anyone from another house just to be friendly or polite?
Of course he can't expect any shared feelings just yet, but he still feels his heart sinking when his mind puts the issue into perspective.]
You can turn me away if you want. This isn't... I mean, I'm not just asking you because I want a new friend. My hope is for us to grow closer over time.
[Usually being bluntly honest doesn't make his face go red. This isn't usual though, is it?]
It's important to me that you understand my intentions.
