"You've never taken anyone on a date before?" he asks, looking extremely dubious of this fact. "Even I've done that." Not for many times in a row. More like once or twice, usually just to dinner and then to his place or theirs, and he usually doesn't call the next morning, or at all.
But those still count as dates, because there was courting involved. It did involve meeting people afterward from an initial encounter.
But maybe they can talk more on their boat ride, which he's looking forward to. He'll paddle them upstream in the river, and they can float down the rest of the way. He's happy to do all the rowing, maybe let Charles read to him while he does so. It'll be a nice, idyllic afternoon.
"But I'm happy to be your first." He leans up a bit, and presses a kiss to Charles' lips. He's several of Erik's firsts as well, so it's fair, he thinks, to have some of Charles'. He's Erik's first lover who's a man after all, and the first person he's ever settled down with, the first person he'd ever say he loved the way someone is supposed to love a life partner. Which is why he says, in a playful way, eyebrow raised: "I like you too."
