"So… can ya spit it out and stop wastin' time?" Brady inquired, not at all oblivious to Owain hiding something - his sweating and the distinct lack of dramatic gestures, probably due to having his hands behind his back, being good indications.
"…Don't you want to have your tea first?" the myrmidon asked, now aware that his cover, or lack thereof, had been blown.
Brady sipped his elderberry tea, and looked Owain in the eyes, before sighing and then responding. "Owain… first ya actually sit down for teatime with me, then ya spend most of yer time nervously lookin' around like yer spooked, and on top of it all, yer way of talking is too… normal. It's obvious that yer hiding stuff."
"I suppose lying has never been my forte, even worse when I need to hide stuff from you," he noted, before putting his hands over the tea table, revealing two crumpled tickets to be the objects that his blushing self had been hiding.
Brady spat his tea upon recognizing them.
"Y'know… we've been to the hot springs along with the others before, but I had been wondering if you'd like to go there alone… well, not alone alone, per se, but with me, as a couple," the myrmidon affirmed.
"What the everlovin' heck?" Brady exclaimed, looking the entrance tickets over in disbelief.
"Ah, well, if you don't want to, it's fine," the poet then spoke, preparing to shove them back into his pocket, but then being stopped by Brady's hand over his.
"I-I do!" the priest declared, blushing even harder than his boyfriend was.
"Really?" the myrmidon asked, a smile appearing on his face. That smile, the smile that could lit up an entire room, the one Brady loved to see.
"Yeah. I don't got yer way with words, so I didn't know how to react, yeah?" he explained himself. "It's just… so sweet of ya."
Owain smiled even wider, now assuming his trademark heroic pose. "Mission accomplished! Phase one of Operation Steam - completed!" he shouted.
"Ya named it?" Brady snorted, shaking his head; amused at the other man's excitement.
"But of course! I name all of the important things in my life!" Owain declared, proudly beating his chest.
Brady wanted to punch and kiss his stupid face for that comment.
