"Yeah but you won't be pink elephant drunk," she teased. "Don't worry; I won't let you do anything embarrassing if you decide to let a little loose." She knew she'd be indulging a little more than usual. Confessing your feelings was nerve wracking, and even though Ven seemed to return the feelings, she still felt like things would just go over easier if she was less sober. "What?" Asuka paused, quickly downing the rest of her drink so she could set the cup down, gripping Ven's shoulders with both her hands, stopping him in his tracks.
"Ven, you're adventurous, and kind, and you try so, so hard to make sure everyone else is happy, even to your own determent. Well, okay, that last part isn't exactly a good thing, but my point is - you care. A lot. You're so sweet and caring and there's almost nothing more attractive to me than someone who gives a fuck about people other than themselves." She paused, feeling like the entire conversation was too heavy. "Your abs don't hurt either."
Ven laughed, "I can let loose without needing to be carried," he said shaking his head. That and if he was honest a small part of him was worried about every getting that drunk in a town like this. He stumbled to a stop when Asuka grabbed him, having been mid sip and setting his drink down at the look on her face. Briefly he grimaced over his own flaw getting pointed out to him, especially by someone he was indeed trying to make sure was happy even if he wasn't always happy.
Another nervous chuckle slipped out and he ran a hand through his hair before shaking his head. "You're going to give me a huge ego at this rate, I'll need an Utena talk to keep me humble," he mumbled softly. He bit his lip in thought before chuckling again, "Well good to know I'm keeping up my workout routine well enough," he said. The thought kept nagging his mind, finally settling on what he wanted to do. Cupping her face with both his hands he leaned and pressed a quick kiss to her lips, "Sorry...probably should have asked just...you're being really sweet and cute..and I just really wanted to do that to be honest."
