[ Even on a good day, he's not going to remember half of those steps. So, he kind of fakes his way through most of it. It seems rather repetitive though, which helps a lot. ]
That sucks. [ Because what else is he supposed to say? It sort of does anyway, and Bells continues working on learning the rhythm of the handshake. ] But yeah. They're not so bad as long a you do it with someone you like.
[ It's the second time - that he can remember - that someone has hugged him so abruptly. But Bells doesn't do anything to push her away. He simply slips his arms around her and drags her closer so it's more comfortable.
Everyone needs affection sometimes, and he's not going to deny her that. Especially when he likes it. ]
Nothing's ever easy--especially when you've been in Hell. [ A pause, biting at his tongue. ] But I've done my fair share of fighting before that. I wouldn't wish that on anyone though.
Everyone's born for a reason. Even if it changes, you've still got options. [ He hesitates only a second before taking her hand. ] You know. I've spent a really long time trying to figure that out, and I still don't know yet.
If people are into that sort of thing. [ Around here, it seems to catch on though. So he nods, gives her another smile. ] I'll try not to let you down. Okay?

Many secret handshakes end with a hug, unless the relationship is business related. But ours isn't, so the hug is optional.

Date: 2013-02-04 05:29 am (UTC)Do you, uh, like hugs?
Action;
Date: 2013-02-04 06:44 am (UTC)I don't know. The last person who hugged me died. And he only did it once.
Do you?
