He's always glad for that- her continued faith in him, in knowing who he is and wanting him for that. It means the world to him, even if he struggles to see it in himself. She helps him start to believe it himself. Little by little.
"Yup! We could turn anything we wanted into a date if we were creative enough."
Her confession makes a laugh bubble out of him, and now it's his turn to look sheepish.
"Ooohhh that's not a thing we were already doing? Because that's definitely a thing I was already doing," oops. "Because it was kiiiiiind of me telling him that I was your boyfriend which got him all Pappa Bear on me in the first place."
He offers her an apologetic, lopsided smile.
"So yep. That's very okay and oops my bad on jumping the gun on that part?"
Clementine looks all curious at his turning sheepish. Granted, he kinda tends to be sheepish at times when they're talking about how they feel about each other or y'know like-like stuff like that. Still she doesn't expect what he says, and it makes her smile.
"Really? No, I like that you already did. I think we're both still learning how to... do this, and I'm not always the best at people stuff. I'm just... guarded."
So she was all afraid about making assumptions, but Louis kinda puts his whole heart in. She loves this about him, and so she lifts herself up to press a kiss to his mouth in hopes of reassuring him.
She was right, she wasn't always the best at the interpersonal stuff, but it never bothered Louis. It was just part of her charm. Besides, he knows she's been through a hell of a lot, it's only normal she's more guarded than he is.
"Well, that's okay. I can be great at the people stuff enough for both of us."
He can put his whole heart into it and give her the chance to do it at her own time, at her own pace. He smiles into the kiss, returning it, his hands moving to take hers.
"You can. You're really good at the people stuff," Clementine says, and this is why Clementine is more likely to punch someone in the face than deal with her anger in a more healthy manner.
But she's starting to get that he actually likes that about her. They come from a very different world to this one, and they're still figuring out how to move forward in this one.
Where they get to go on dates and not have to worry about raiders and walkers all the time.
She smiles up at him- up at him cause he's tol. "You're kind of seriously amazing."
"I mean, I'm pretty awful at the other stuff, so I play to my strengths."
He can defend himself from walkers, but he hasn't the patience to be a good hunter and he sure as hell isn't much of a fighter, but people? He knows what makes people tick. It just took the world ending for him to learn how to use it to help people instead of hurt them.
He bushes at her comment, an awkward laugh bubbling out of him as he rubs the back of his head. Lordy.
"You could knock me over with a feather sometimes," he replies. "And I'd like to add to this that you're more amazing, so there."
"We both too, and it's why we're kind of perfect."
Their strengths are opposing in that sense. Clementine's a good hunter, a helluva fighter. And she'd kill people without hesitation. But Louis really sees them- people. He really thinks and believes and feels for them.
"Go us, in our perfection. They should give us awards."
He chuckles, waggling his eyebrows comically.
"WELL, this could end up in a circular argument that's never going to end. We'd have to see which one of us caved first, and I'm pretty sure we're both stubborn enough to keep it going for a while."

She laughs softly, warmly.
"No way. You're the most amazing by far, Louis."
