[Newt scoots back, feeling like maybe he should have NOT brought this up because this is a terrible thing to bring up, can they go back to kissing? But it's out now, so..]

Uh... This was a while ago. Before we had that talk. Before Valentine's? I don't really remember what started it. I think I called him because he hadn't called me in a while?

I know! It was after the sub, and he said he'd been avoiding me because, you know, I just got home, you and me were spending time together--

I teased him. I think I joked that he was implying we were having sex the whole time, and Joaquin being the old-fashioned dude he is gets really up about the "you're not even married!" thing and then says we should get married. And I don't know what he said, or I said, but the next thing I know, he's implying that I didn't want to marry you, and that if I'm not interested...then...people who ARE shouldn't have to hold back from trying.

[Hermann stares, shocked into sudden silence. It takes several moments to translate his incredulity into verbal terms, and all that comes out is an indignant squawk.]

What?

[It's just so difficult to believe. Sure the man had been his friend and flirted with him at the start, but he'd never actually thought he could honestly be interested. Hadn't they established that after their conversation at the dance? Or did he really grow to cherish him in such a way? Granted his outdated sensibilities were very much out of alignment with his own. He wouldn't even consider marrying Newton within the year if not for their substantial history.]

You're certain Joaquin said that?
