And just like that, he was in a relationship. Or at least trying one out.
At that realization, the bottom dropped out of Wash's stomach and his world tilted sideways into dizzying panic. What was he doing- he couldn't do this to her, it was- he was crazy- well yeah, but-
She started laughing, and his world righted itself again. Right. They were trying it out. She wanted this. It was a good thing. "Yeah," he agreed, looking down at Melody, who had started pushing at his knees again. "You know, I think they insist." She looked up at him, meowing insistently - get on with it! Fang landed next to her and squeaked, adding his encouragement.
He paused for a moment, considering. "Um." If they were trying this, he actually had to...well, try, right? "I guess..." Pushing past his hesitation, he slowly offered her his hand, a little half-smile on his face. It wasn't much - it probably looked pretty stupid from the outside, actually - but right now, it was the best he could think to do. They had to start somewhere.
