Oh. This was happening. Alex's eyes widened in surprise when Oni turned and headed straight for the picnic area he'd set up, apparently everything was already set up, at least enough to jump straight into it. He chewed on the inside of his cheek, a habit brought on by nervousness, and walked beside them with the occasional glance.
He watched them sit first, idly standing before gradually settling himself down onto the blanket in an awkwardly stiff manner. Even when he situated himself on the picnic blanket, his spine was stiffly upright. It wasn't that he was uncomfortable with their presence or anything, he was just uncomfortable in general with being in public, and actually having to deal with emotion. And he was just naturally so, so awkward.
"I-" He flinched and cut himself off when Bastille and Thea caught his attention, the sudden departure as soon as they had arrived causing him to feel a sense of anxiety greater than what he was already dealing with, grabbing handfuls of his own long hair and burying his face into them, covering it up completely. "I do not fully understand affection." He mumbled after a long moment of silence, letting go of most of his hair, leaving behind a bit of messiness. His olive cheeks were reddened slightly, a small intent visible in his cheek where he was aggressively biting at it. He didn't know if it was embarrassment, romantic feelings, or just the idea of involuntarily spreading his own awkwardness to the others who happened to walk past. "Not that it matters, I am too isolated for anyone to like. Too awkward. Too....quiet." He could go on forever, surely.
He held one of the drink bottles, crossing his legs to seem more casual. Poor Alex, oblivious as always.
