He can't help but grin. "You have an interesting way of asking for things." But nonetheless, he reaches his own hand and takes Delta's hand, a solid grip, but gentle.
Of course he has an interesting way. York's met his sister, right? You learned round about ways of asking for what you wanted with people like Beta running the family. He does, though, smile at the warmth of their hands tangled together.
Too true. He smiles down at their joined hands and takes a moment to appreciate that, fear of Delta's family aside, this night is turning out way better than he'd hoped.
Delta isn't adorable. He is offended by the very suggestion.
"I came out tonight expecting this to bomb and to have to give Omega a piece of my mind. Yes, this turned out more than a bit better. And your hands will do just well for walking home."
That gets a laugh from him. "I'll take that, I was worried they'd be a bit rough. I work with my hands a lot, callouses y'know. Though sorry to have ruined your plans to chew out your brother."
"Ah, but they're soft further down," Delta counters. "Under the skin. In your heart."
And he smiles, squeezing that hand one more time before pulling his hand away. Which makes sense because their food has arrived. And Delta considers for a moment before smiling.
Well isn't that just sappy. And isn't he just a sucker for said sap. The grin on his face is a little dopey even as he sits back and thanks the waiter for their food.
"I think we are." He adds a little more to the tip and thanks the waiter again when he comes back with their food boxed up before gathering it up and offering his free hand to Delta.
"Yeah, the real thing," Delta agrees, lacing his fingers with York's and grabbing his drink with his free hand. Sorry York's drink, you might get left behind.
"Yeah, I do." It may have only been one night so far, but he needed only a moment to see that Delta was beautiful. And every time he smiles or blushes or laughs, he just becomes more so.
Cumulative beauty? Delta didn't know that was a thing. What he did know was that this food was going to be great, and once he makes it to the edge of the sidewalk he carefully looks out over the road. With it clear he starts across the street for the small park.
He chuckles and squeezes Delta's hand lightly as they cross the road, heading towards the park once they reach the other side, set a little ways back from the road to lessen the sound of traffic. A few path lights shed dim light as they head into the area.
