[Because watching people get flustered is hilarious. And cute. And Bruce is cute too.]

[He moves with the other teen, keeping the distance between them equal]

Hy tink Hy know hyu, sveetie. Hyu in Raveclaw, yah? Hy iz Maxim Jaeger, ov de Gryffindor haus.

[greenmoonrising]

[He backs up again because WOAH MAXIM, EVER HEARD OF PERSONAL SPACE???

Maxim... OH, the guy who went skinny-dipping with Thor! Didn't recognize you clothed there buddy-

Bruce blushes more at the thought and ducks his head, smiling up at Maxim shyly and offering his hand.]

Uh, yeah, I'm Bruce Banner from Ravenclaw, nice to officially meet you, Maxim.

[moveslikejaeger]

[NOPE, NEVER, what is this personal space, can he hit on it?]

[If Bruce thought he was getting a handshake out of Maxim, he thought wrong. Instead, when Maxim takes his hand, he pulls off his hat and bows his head, bringing Bruce's hand up to his lips.]

De pleasure iz all mine, Hy em sure. [He croons, raising his face just enough to waggle his eyebrows at the Ravenclaw]

[greenmoonrising]

[OhmyGod Maxim why would you do that, his cheeks are bright red and he looks ready to bolt.]

Uh. Right back at you.

[moveslikejaeger]

[Why wouldn't he do that? Isn't that how all people say hello?]

[Of course, he doesn't want Bruce to run away, so he he releases his hand, stepping back enough to give the other boy some breathing room]

Zo, hyu here schkool, schoppink, yah? Hyu ready to go beck?

[greenmoonrising]

[He takes a quiet breath and smiles, relaxing considerably.]

Yeah, just about. How about you, excited for school?

[moveslikejaeger]

[He shrugs one shoulder, cocking his hip to the side as he places his hat back on his head] More for de pipple dere den schkool itself, but yah, excited enough. Iz like a home avat from home zumtimes, no?

[greenmoonrising]

It's definitely nice to see friends again...

[He trails off, reminded that h'oh crap he's going to see Tony again and he still hasn't decided wtf is going on with this crush of his and flushes at the reminder, sighing and rubbing the back of his neck before smiling wanly at Maxim.]

A home away from home? Yeah, it can be like that I guess..

[moveslikejaeger]

[That little blush causes Maxim to lean in again, getting his face right up close to the other boy's]

Hyu got zumvun schpecial vaitink for hyu dere, hmmm?

[greenmoonrising]

Geh-

[Leans right back when Maxim's face appears too close, blinking rapidly and flushing more, shaking his head stubbornly.]

What? No, of course not. What gave you that idea?

[moveslikejaeger]

Ho, Hy know a look ov longink vhen Hy zee vun. [He coos, sliding his arm around Bruce's shoulder with a melancholic sigh] Oh... to be younk und in luff.... [Never mind that Bruce is older than him] Soch a bittersveet haze ov dezire und yearnink, reachink out in hopes dot de vun ve luff iz reachink back...

Hy em zo envious. Soch passion Hy haff neffer truly known.

[greenmoonrising]

[Bruce honestly has no idea how to react to this short soliloquy so he just. Stands there. Letting Maxim hang off him. Awkwardly.]

Uh, you don't have to be envious about anything - there's no passion here. Really.

[moveslikejaeger]

[Awkward? Who's awkward?]

Den vhy hyu blushink, hmmmmm?

[greenmoonrising]

[Just this nerd here, Maxim doesn't know the meaning of awkward.]

Because you're hanging off me and going on about young love in the middle of a shop.

[moveslikejaeger]

Vould hyu rather Hy do it at an ice cream parlour, becauze Hy ken do dot too. [Eyebrow waggle]

[greenmoonrising]

Why an ice cream parlour- Nevermind.

[Shakes his head and smiles a bit at that eyebrow waggle.]

[moveslikejaeger]

'Cauze Hy know vhere doez are, but Hy dunno eny fency reztraunts.

[His arm drooped from Bruce's shoulders, instead slipping around his elbow. He cocks his head to the side, giving his arm a little tug]

Ov courze, hyu could alvays show me around, yah?

[Yes, Bruce, he's asking you on an impromptu date. Take him up on it?]

[greenmoonrising]

[Again Bruce just blinks for a moment and shrugs, not understanding the dating implications, he just figures Maxim doesn't know his way around!]

Sure, why not? Uh, did you have to buy anything here first?

[moveslikejaeger]

[No one understands when he hi-jacks them for dates. It is his curse.]

[He waves his hand dismissively, all but dragging Bruce towards the door] Hy ken do it later. Don' vanna hafta carry it around, no?

[greenmoonrising]

[Luckily Bruce is used to being dragged off so he doesn't protest, just focusing on not running into anyone in the shop on the way out.

Once outside he glances at Maxim with an unsure smile.]

So uh... Where did you want to go?
