Moonspear Calling you brings apprehension

Until he recieved a response, he hadn't realized he'd been hoping for one. What he'd thought was an offhanded comment about the size of his den and his rooming situation was truly an offer to move in, something Aesop had hardly been conscious of until Alastor asked. 'Course he said, his mouth and his heart moving faster than his brain. Shit, he said not a moment after, the expletive a manifestation of his pleasure and displeasure in one.

At this point he felt like it would be taking advantage of Alastor to not reveal his attraction. I mean, I'd like that. But I gotta be straight with you, 'cause I'm into you. And I don't want that to fuck anything up with us bein' friends, but maybe I already screwed the pooch there. He shrugged, because really, how does one follow up an awkward confession?
