[this stuff is so hard to talk about. now he isn't sure whether he's pressing too much, or genya is pressing too little, or if they're on entirely separate pages or the same ones... in his lap, senjuro wrings his hands together.]
Are you still interested in... that direction? [hopefully that can be a clear yes or no, and he'll know whether or not he should drop it.]
[Even the sight of Senjuro's twisting hands makes Genya feel a modicum of guilt. He starts to hang his head, only to stop stock still at that question. He hands there, eyes a little wide and face a rather concerning shade of crimson.
He wills himself to say something, to say anything. If he doesn't, it'll only make matters worse. Senjuro is clearly nervous about this, so -
Genya just barely forces himself to nod. From his throat, the words croak out:]
[poor genya... senjuro also feels guilty for getting him so worked up. maybe he should have just left it alone? but maybe it's okay to be a little selfish, if it ends up well for both of them... ah, he still isn't sure. but at genya nods, so... that's close enough to a yes, right?]
[His next best response is to shove the s'more into his mouth. He tries to chew as quickly as possible, and probably nearly chokes at least once, but it's for a good cause! He lowers his hands, dusting all the crumbs and goo off on his shirt, before reaching out for both of Senjuro's hands.
... At least he has the decency to swallow before speaking again.]

O-okay. So then, we're...
