Elliott didn’t say anything in response, letting Blaine’s words wash over him and enjoying the sheer CALM that came with it. He was pretty relaxed as it is, a calm guy and all, but this? He was feeling better by the MINUTE. 

“I suppose…” Elliott still didn’t know how to voice his concerns properly, but as he moved to lean into Blaine, free hand resting on the others waist, it felt like it was okay that he didn’t know. 

“I just…I don’t want them to feel like we’re hiding something, you know? It’s hard to do something like go on a date or…well anything really, with how nosey our friends are.” And his near nightly calls with Dani about their days. 

“But I – I agree, a few days to just find out what we are would be…Well, it’d be nice.” He’d never had that opportunity before in his life, and he felt a little rude for just how much he wanted it. To shape what his relationship was like without people’s judgement. A relationship that didn’t start out as public knowledge would be perfect. 

Elliott finally relaxing a bit gave Blaine the breathing room he needed to let himself relax. The last thing he wanted was for something that just happened and had endless possibilities–good possibilities–to wind up as something for either one of them to go into a panic attack over.

He’d had enough of being nervous, being torn up, being everything negative for a while now.  This was a chance to feel calm, reassured, at peace.  It might be greedy to ask Elliott to keep this for them only right off bat but he needed the break.  The chance to breathe without feeling the suffocating drama and attention from everyone.

“Thank you,” he smiled and covered Elliott’s hand on his waist with his closest palm then let his head fall to rest on the taller man’s shoulder.  A tilt of his cheek against it let him peek up at Elliott’s profile and offer him an ear to ear smile.

“They can wait and when we figure this all out, we can tell them together.  I only want us to get to know each other like this first..,” he hummed with a lightly teasing lift of his brows, “And I’m letting myself be greedy for a change and keeping you and me and whatever this is the beginning of for myself to enjoy. I think we deserve that.  Don’t we?”
