the sweetest sound he's ever heard !
duncan drifts away in a set of chuckles , fond . petting their back adoringly .
" mm . I have good pants , and a button up shirt . that okay ? i'll clean my sneakers up nice , too . "

with his head tilted back, phone connects instantly to the car stereo and starts playing a random playlist.
he’s been drinking—a bit. it wasn’t his worst night; just a party. nothing too exotic. ‘ i’ll take you with me one day. ’

" i don't deserve you . "
he claims , plain and simple , and fits his chin lovingly against the crown of aerion's head .
" mm . and if all comes down to the fact no one wants to buy my rusty old bike , "
tickling his ribs ! snorting , caught up mid - laugh .

kind of embarrassing when i have to enter the huge gorgeous office building with a gigantic dragon shaped fountain at the front ( & his whole family working inside ) because someone ordered doordash .

dunk rocks anxiously back and forth , hunching and curling his spine to trap him further into his arms . no one's taking him .
" if — i-if it comes to that , i'll follow . i'll get a passport , i'll buy a ticket . i can sell my bike . i'll find a way . "

" and you're doing great for it . i'm so very proud of you , baby . you — you're always on time for class , too . "
he praises , hand coming up to thread through his hair ; though in the desperate nature of his grip , it might feel more as if he's clamping down on it .
