now that made him laugh, despite the topic of the conversation. because it was true, he let the man do.. almost anything. within reason.
“ hey, who am I to stop you? I'd do the same. humans are just boring sometimes.
they do things in a very boring way. ”
“ good. I do want you to know it, course I do. just not good at saying it yet. I will be, eventually. I'm sure. ”
in all honesty he's grateful for the other man not pushing him. even after all this time. holds him just a little tighter.
tenses just a little at first, but then relaxes almost immediately. he's gotten more used to this sort of physical contact now.
“ mnn as long as you aren't insulting me, you can say whatever. I'm just not gonna be great at saying stuff back. ”
“ good! ”
that smirk is back, of course. his other arm is still around the mans waist. pulls him back against him.
“ well, you can say it if you really want. I'm just not used to it, is all. eh. ”
immediately there's a face scrunch. frowns. but then he grins again, even gives a small shrug.
“ fine, fine. but don't say it too often! still not used to hearing that. dunno how to react really. ’s weird. ”
slowly runs a finger along his cheekbone, then just... rests the hand against his cheek. licks lips slowly.
“ oh please, you don't have to try. I mean, it's super hot when you do try but. eh, you're always sexy. ”
a small laugh, leaning back a little to look at him properly. lifts one hand to stroke his cheek gently. tilts his head, pretends to inspect him.
“ hmm... yeah, I think there's a lot of sexy there. ”
gives his waist a small squeeze before sliding both arms around him. grinning to himself.
“ oh really? I'd never have known. tsk. so are you, yknow? very, very much so. ”
