K'mai

"Well, hello there, Sh'vair!" K'mai greeted the blue weyrling, plunking down across the table from him.

"Hi K'mai," the weyrling grinned. "How have you been?"

"Splendid as usual," he answered. "And how are you and Nidogath?"

"We're flying together now," Sh'vair beamed. It was a great accomplishment, and it meant senior weyrlinghood was not long in coming.
Looking across at the handsome bluerider, Sh'vair was _very_ aware of just how soon it would be. K'mai could look at him in just the right way to make his heart do flips in his chest, even when they were just talking.

"Ah, congratulations!" K'mai said. "And how long until your first jump /between/?" He leaned forward a little on the table, getting closer to the weyrling.

"Soon, I hope." Shards, Sh'vair hoped he couldn't noticed the small pimple starting on his chin. He wanted to look like a _man_ right now, not some little boy. Taking a deep breath he whispered, "I'm really looking forward to it."

K'mai leaned even closer. "Me too," he said with a smile.

"Really?" The weyrling cleared his throat and reached for the klah.
**No, Sh'vair, that didn't sound desperate at all! Stupid, stupid!** "If you haven't gotten the hint that I like you by now, I think I'll have to try harder."

The pot almost slipped from Sh'vair suddenly trembling fingers. Wide eyes turned on the older, more experienced bluerider. "You... You do? I mean... You're not just saying that to be nice, right? I mean... I suppose I'm pretty obvious..."

K'mai's smile widened, enjoying the reactions his flirting caused..
"Hmmm . . . I think I'll have to teach you about confidence too. Among other things."

Shards. _K'mai_ wants to teach _him_? "I think I'd like that. If you really want to... Except I've not really... I mean..." Sh'vair had the sudden urge to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Or to run for the door and hide his bright red face. "Haven't had sex yet?" the older bluerider asked.

"I didn't say _that_," the weyrling muttered, though it was true. Still, K'mai didn't need to know just how terribly inexperienced he was.
"I was raised in a _Weyr_ after all..."

K'mai cupped his head in his hands. "Maybe you can teach me a few tricks, then?"

"Maybe I could," Sh'vair shrugged, taking a sip of klah to cover his shame at lying. He was going to have to find someone to teach him a thing or two before he ever went to K'mai. There was such a thing as pride after all!

"Good." K'mai leaned back. "I like learning as much as I like teaching."

Sh'vair leaned back in his chair too, still covering his smile with his mug of klah. K'mai wanted him... Shards, /between/ couldn't come too soon!
