[If being a sandwich master gets him this far, he'll take it. He hums, glad to settle into the warmth of an earnest cuddle, briefly pressing his lips into Viktor's hair in what is half a kiss and half another affectionate squeeze. Not that he's in the habit of airing all of his personal business ASAP all over town, but he likes the feeling of knowing he can; there are people he'd like to know, particularly because he already wanted them to meet Viktor...
And lo, a fireworks party is inevitable, so that works out nicely.]
They'll find out at the party, if not before. You can invite Allen, if you like; I'd like to meet him sometime.
[Anyway, all thoughts of other friends aside with this blunt question on the table. He huffs, amused, and leans back from squishing his face into Viktor's hair. The abrupt topic change has him turning a little pink, but he still has an answer, without embarrassment-]
I like how blunt you are; it's a perk. And yes, I'm interested. I can't give you an arbitrary length of time— [And why would he, that's silly. He shifts his hand to fiddle with Viktor's hair as he speaks, twirling a lock of it the way he's seen Viktor do so many times. Hmm, indeed:] But yes, very. How slow do you like to go?
