"See, I look great in mud. I'm making it a cool look," Koschei teased as he slowly clambered off the bed, standing awkwardly, not quite in the best state. His legs still hurt and he felt rough but he definitely needed to have a wash. The mud was starting to flake off everywhere. Before he could let Barty leave him, he reached out and snagged the boy's wrist, pulling him close so he could steal a kiss.

He'd earned that much, anyway. "Had to do that before you left but, erm, yeah. Thanks. You didn't have to come and help me but you did. And I appreciate that."

"You could make any look work for you," Barty assured him, because he was feeling butterflies and a bunch of other stuff he'd never truly believed could ever happen to him. And then there was the kiss and it happened to fast for him to really kiss back, but it happened and it was great, even if it was over too soon.

"Thanks. I mean. For the kiss." He was a dork. Maybe he could hide under the blanket. "I really like you."

"Barty, stop being a wonderful dork. You don't thank people for kissing, you just accept it. Or tell them to piss off. One or the other, really," Koschei offered, ruffling his hair slightly. Urgh, it was so dirty, how was Barty even getting doe-y eyed over him in this state.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow," he offered, awkwardly moving towards the bathroom, not really wanting to say goodbye. "Don't let Tom know you were here, yeah? He'll get us both back for it."

"It felt good, might as well thank you for it. Seems more appropriate than thanking people for useless things like asking me how I am." Barty got up, ruffling his own hair to find something less awkward to do with his hair. Funny, he'd always pictured himself as more suave. Maybe with time.

"Are you kidding? I'm going to sneak back and squeeze my hand through that cuff again so he'll never know I left." He headed for the door, standing there similarly at a loss. He didn't want to go, this little moment right here felt like all they might have for a long time to come. "See you tomorrow."

"Be safe, don't get hurt," Koschei ordered more than asked. Then, finally, he forced himself to retreat into the bathroom and let Barty go. He'd see him tomorrow, that was better than nothing.
