[Whelk feels not unlike he’d like to crawl under the table and die. Leave it to him to think he could have something halfway decent come out of this date. It’s annoying to him that Gansey is still here, even if he’s just across the room ordering.
[It’s difficult to explain what about Gansey gets under Whelk’s skin so much, but it has more than a little to do with them being similar people, but one of them still having everything, and one of them having positively nothing - not even an uninterrupted date that doesn’t involve some asshole kid flaunting their fancy car and clothes in front of his face.
[He should get paid for every time he talks to a student outside of work.
[It’s not without effort that he’s able to focus on Kunimi again and continue their conversation. There has been phone in his gelato, so he’s more reserved about eating it.]
It was a guess.
[Actually, come to think of it, it’s actually much easier than it should be to get distracted from what’s bothering him when his focus lands back on Kunimi. It’s another one of those moments where Whelk realizes that he looks good - not just in bed either. He wonders half-idly how they look together.]
I was right. Bless the thought. [His expression is still a little tight, but the corner of his mouth does twitch a bit, and he can’t help but look a little satisfied that he pegged hue Kunimi correctly.]
