R’nd froze just as quickly as Kerrin when that demanding question was set free and hung between them. This, this was awkward. There had been the belief that nothing could top admitting to liking B’jin more than was appropriate until Kerrin spoke up. What did that question even mean? Did Kerrin possess the same feelings he did? If so, were they for B’jin? R’nd nearly laughed out loud at that thought as he recalled some comments made in the past about the greenrider and how old he was and how he wouldn’t want to chase him anymore than he would Par’a. So that clearly left him and R’nd wasn’t quite sure what emotions were currently roiling through him. There was of course arrogance but also confusion and most assuredly fear. Anytime someone started to display affection that went deeper than being bed buddies, R’nd cut all loses and ran, trampling hearts as he went; though sometimes he tried to break them gently. But he and Kerrin were already as thick as thieves so why would he want a weyrmate relationship?
Maybe the kid simply wanted to add to the bruises or have his own collection brought on by sharing a bed with the bluerider. R’nd sort of preferred that option but… Kerrin? He took a physical step back as well as a mental one to properly examine the weyrbrat he had known for what seemed like a lifetime. What stood before him truly was a young man. Given their ages upon meeting, R’nd realized he was still viewing Kerrin as a young teenager and not someone that was attractive, his type, and of an age where sex was something natural to crave and want to explore. How had he been blind for so long? He was a highly sexual being with no qualms in sleeping around and flirting with anyone that caught his eye, yet he had been blind to Kerrin as anything more than a friend and pain in the butt to trade pranks with that led to innocent rough-housing.
Maybe he should just go turn in his rights to being a bluerider right then and there.
No, first he had a question to answer before finding Grith to see if she would share her brown paints for Ayyonth. Too bad he still didn’t know how to answer it! When in doubt, make your opponent show his hand before making your final blow. R’nd stepped back in towards Kerrin until they were toe to toe. He grabbed one of Kerrin’s hands and placed it at the small of his back so that the weyrbrat held him in place. The action was repeated with his own arm wrapping around Kerrin so they were locked together, one not being able to leave the conversation without the other approving of it. With his free hand, R’nd tilted Kerrin’s chin upward until the uniquely amber eyes caught his which only served to send another awakening jolt of realization that his friend was hot and quite desirable. “Yes… what about you?”
