I would say your conversational skills exceed all expectations personally. You're the first person I've talked to in a long, long time who's made me think so much about such complicated topics. That has to count for something.
I wouldn't call it 'emulating', necessarily. Maybe...taking new ideas into consideration? It doesn't change my opinion on most things, but it does let me make more informed decisions. I was an overthinker long before I met you, you know.
[Still, he's walking on the beach with Yuri, holding hands and even swinging them just a little bit. Yuri's definitely made an impression on him.]
Broadening one's perspective, is that what it's called? They do say overthinkers tend to be more prepared for whatever comes their way, and end up more satisfied by their choices and decisions. Mostly because they're prepared for any outcome.
[ ... ]
Of course that sounds like an optimistic view, but I'll accept it.
[ swinging hands!!!! that's cute. this is cute. wtf. ]
That's not the first time I've heard that here, actually. Problem with lost opportunities is sometimes you don't realise it was an opportunity until it's gone.
[Well, Yuri won't be blinded for too long. Luca might be moving to sit next to Yuri, but he's definitely leaning over him a bit, peering down at Yuri with a grin on his face. His hair is a mess and still wet from the water, but for once he's not paying much attention to it. Mostly because his attention is completely taken up by Yuri.]
You weren't wrong before: purple and red can make a lovely pair, if done properly.
[He's reaching up to tuck a bit of Yuri's bangs behind his ear, but then he lets his fingers trail down the side of Yuri's face.]
I think I would like to apply that shade myself though, rather than relying on the sun to get it right.
[ he drops the hand covering his eyes when luca moves to block out the sun, and folds his hands on his stomach instead. as funny as it had been to mess up luca's hair, it's actually different in a good way to see him looking less put together and more ... well. maybe relaxed isn't the word overall, but appearance wise? it looks more relaxed. ]
...
[ hmmm. subconsciously, he leans into the movement of luca's fingers running down his face. ]
[Maybe it's more natural, without the forced smile and millions of attempts to get his hair and clothes just perfect. This is a Luca who's not performing for anyone, he's just being himself. The overthinking, anxiety-riddled mess he can be, though minus the anxiety at the moment because he's actually pretty relaxed.]
Well. If you're inviting me like that.
[Time to slide over and straddle Yuri's waist so he's in a better position to work Yuri up.
Something something time passes and half an hour later he's just going to be sweaty and tired and very satisfied with himself as he drapes over Yuri like a human-blanket.]

Conversations about more mundane topics help too.

If it's making your head constantly spin, maybe I should've dialled back on the complicated topics a bit.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 01:09 pm (UTC)[Luca no, don't show your feelings!]
Would simpler topics even be satisfying?
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 01:23 pm (UTC)Simpler topics are sometimes the best way to get information, you know. It's not a bad thing.

no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 05:55 pm (UTC)It is.
And in the name of not looking at the double-edged sword, how about we get a spot ready for some sunbathing?
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 06:07 pm (UTC)... [ pfft. ] Alright, you seem to be the expert on this, so I'll leave the spot finding up to you.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 06:24 pm (UTC)[He points along the beach, to a private-ish alcove up ahead. Oh look, there's a big umbrella and a blanket spread out!]
Even if we won't actually get sunburned here, it's best to keep your face covered.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 07:22 pm (UTC)More delicate than the rest of us, is it?
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 10:06 pm (UTC)[Yuri your very pretty face, keep it safe.]
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 10:44 pm (UTC)But it'd get way too hot lying around in the sun for ages, directly.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 11:16 pm (UTC)[Something something they look good together.]
And that's what the umbrella is for. When you get too warm, you just roll into the shade.
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 11:34 pm (UTC)[ yes, that implication does not fly over his head. ] You're into colour theory too?
...
Wouldn't an umbrella just trap heat under it?
no subject
Date: 2021-03-17 11:46 pm (UTC)And yes, I do know a bit about color theory. Why, you want to hear my theories on what colors should mix?
no subject
Date: 2021-03-18 12:32 am (UTC)[ he's going to flop onto the sand under the umbrella anyway, and lift a hand to shield his eyes from the sun when he looks back at luca. ]
Go on then. Dazzle me.
