[.....Oh? Okay, that's not remotely in the range of anything that Felix was expecting. At all.
Although maybe he should have seen, in the few moments before Eugene sprung his question, the warning signs. He did see them actually but just hadn't had time to adequately interpret them. The fact that Eugene hadn't teased him back was probably the most telling part. Still, he's been lured into a sense of safety by the comfortable routineness of this thing that they're currently doing.
And then Eugene comes out of nowhere and asks......]
....Oh. [Felix looks completely surprised. His eyes are a little wide, and he's very still in his seat. It's a little bit like a deer in the headlights, if comparisons have to be made. But the look on his face is at least pure surprise. Not awkwardness (that can come later) or reluctance just....uncertainty. It completely wrecks his easygoing demeanor of a few moments ago and is in distinct contrast to Eugene's behavior. At least his outward behavior.] That's, uh-- You're not joking, right?
[I mean, Eugene is smiling but Felix doesn't have any reason to think that he'd do something like jokingly ask him out. That doesn't seem like Eugene's style. Which only leaves the option that he's serious, and that's....really? Felix, of all people? Oh.]
