"Hmmm….. Ever had a girlfriend?" asked Silver curiously, deciding now was an amazing time to make things awkward.

Aurelius went pale.
"N-n-no… I've never dated anyone… I uh… I've crushed on a lot of people though."

"Who?" asked Silver, grinning like a cat.

"Well, uh… there's someone I'm really close to from back home. They're a librarian, and they're one of the coolest people I know. I mean, we ended up being best friends, but that never went anywhere romantically, and I'm glad," Aurelius said, trying to keep his voice steady.

"Anyone around here?" asked Silver curiously.

"I mean, not especially," Aurelius said, "There are a lot of attractive people around here, of course… Hey, you know this isn't what I meant!"
Aurelius was horribly flustered, but laughing pretty hard, which was unusual for him.

Silver laughed, "Better than asking about deep dark traumas!"

"Of course. Just kill me with embarrassment instead, then," Aurelius joked, "Well how about you? You ever been in a relationship with anyone before?"

"Not really" said Silver, "There was one guy back in a rogue pack, but that never went anywhere." he said, "Oh and there was a nice girl with the riders too… but she wasn't my type"

Aurelius almost choked when he heard Silver say something about liking a guy. Silver had specifically asked Aurelius about a girlfriend, so he jumped to conclusions before and was kind of happy to meet another guy who understood.
"Well, good to know we're both equally as single," Aurelius sighed, "You know, I would've thought liking basically everyone, I would have had at least one romantic relationship by now. But alas…"

"So?" said Silver, "It'll happen eventually."

"Maybe," Aurelius replied, "Maybe once I sort myself out a bit more. I've got a long way to go before I can take care of myself and sustain a healthy relationship."

"Alright" said Silver, "But you still haven't answered the original question. Anyone you like around here? Doesn't even have to be a girl, I won't judge."

"I barely even know anyone around here," Aurelius admitted, "but like I said, there are cute people everywhere, so uh… I'm not sure I would call it a crush. One of the healers is pretty good-looking. He's been looking after me a good bit, so we've talked some."
Aurelius was making stuff up, but then realized this description could totally have fit Silver.

Silver raised an eyebrow, "Is that so?"

"So… I have a type, I think? Maybe two?" Aurelius managed, "I'm usually drawn to kind, empathetic people or total badasses. Both way out of my league."
(Fun fact: his canon boyfriend is a badass healer)

(Sounds Like Silver to me! XD)
"I've been told I tend to be both" said Silver watching Aurelius carefully.

(Lol that's honestly what I was getting from it. They've got their differences, but the archetype is pretty similar)
Aurelius looked away. He bit down on his lip, almost completely unsure of how to get around this.
Screw it… I'm just gonna try my hand at flirting, and this either works out or makes him equally as uncomfortable. A win-win, right?
"Yeah, I think you've proven as much. You think you're gonna get a confession or something out of me? You'll have to do better than that," he teased.
(wtf is flirting I can't do thissssssss)

(Idk flirting either!! So here we go! Learning through our characters! XD)
Silver raised an eyebrow, "Who said I was trying to do that?" he asked, "Though I can't say I wouldn't be against the idea"

(I have to go to bed. I'll be back tomorrow. And lol, yeah, I guess we are. I'm engaged and I literally never learned how to flirt, so…)
"Hm… what makes you think I was talking about you to begin with?" Aurelius pressed, now much more playful since this seemed to be going well.

"You're the one who asked if I was trying to get a confession out of you" said Silver coolly, "Besides, maybe you want the confession out of me? Hmm?" he watched Aurelius for a reaction, a mischievous glint in his eye.
(Cool! I'll see you tomorrow!)

“Automatically just comparing yourself to my type?” Aurelius said, trying not to flinch, “Seems pretty suspicious to me.”

"Now why would I do that?" asked Silver, "As far as I can tell I am your type."

"Hah. Maybe so," Aurelius admitted, covering his face partially.
He was out of moves.
"Come to think of it, you are pretty cute."

"And you are being utterly adorable" said Silver teasingly, "By the way where were you trying to go with this?"

"Trying to make you uncomfortable," Aurelius said matter-of-factly, "but looks like it backfired, didn't it?"

"Oh absolutely" said Silver, "but it was a good try, and you are pretty cute yourself" he watched Aurelius for a reaction.

Aurelius bit down on his lip again and held his breath a little. He didn't think he could hold back much longer before dying of embarrassment. Then again, maybe Silver actually meant something by what he was saying. He dared not be upfront and ask about it.
"That's a first," Aurelius replied to being called "cute."

"How is that a first?" asked Silver, surprised,

"I'm a disaster," Aurelius said, "I think I scare away a lot more people than I attract. But that's okay, I guess."
He folded his hands together in front of him.
"So I'm that cute, huh?"
