"I want," Ray insisted, perhaps a bit too eagerly. When the temptation to just reach out and take Asher back into his arms got to much, he slipped his hands into his pockets, but remained close. "However you wanna give it to me. I trust you," he added, then ducked his head at how that sounded, heat rising in his face again. "Uh, sweet, please."

Before he could make a complete fool of himself, he changed the topic. "So um, we could watch a movie." Together. "Or go for a walk." Together. "And I heard there's a party later, if you, y'know..." He rubbed his thumb over an invisible spot on the table top. "...wanna be my date."

What Ray really wanted to do was spend some time with Asher alone but he didn't really know how alone two people could get on the island and he didn't want to assume that Asher would want the same thing. Even if everything else had worked out so far.
