He hadn't...ever had anyone walk him home that he could remember. The last guy he dated was also a roommate so that didn't count. And he had to admire Krem for slipping that in. It put those worries that screamed 'oh no this brave ripped solider is going to realize I'm an ugly sick broom and bail' to bed once again.
