Abel doesn't seem to notice the barely there reply to his compliment. Because it doesn't matter....it matters that he meant it. Of course his brain all but melts into a puddle when Manu holds his hand. It felt nice...and right. He focuses on memorizing how his hand feels.  He remains silent, thinking about everything.

That is until Manu speaks up. When complimented he blushes lightly and rubs the back of his neck with his free hand. "I'm from Texas" he smiles turning his head to look at his soulmate. "And where did someone as amazing as you fall from" a small chuckle as he steals the pick up line. Knowing that he probably sounded cheesy but hoping that Manu will find humor in it.
