Mateo couldn’t help but burst into laughter as she explained her frog comment, so startled with how hard he was chuckling that he ended up leaning forward and resting his forehead on Bea’s shoulder, riding out the snickers before finally pulling back, large grin still on his face. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d laughed that much and that openly, cheeks sore with it, “Well do I at least look a bit more like a prince now?” he asked, batting his lashes at her exaggeratedly to try and sweeten his sharp features, lids already growing heavy with the sort of comfort one would get while wrapped up in a blanket and a hot chocolate in hand, her fingers running through his hair making his heart pound with a sort of fondness he hadn’t felt for someone since before his father’s passing and he still knew who he was. They looked an awful lot like the couple’s Mateo usually made fun of, absolutely obsessing over each other, incapable of breaking eye contact while their hands stayed glued to each other’s sides. Her compliment barely even settled in his mind before he was already leaning into and pressing his lips to hers again, blame it on alcohol or genuine feelings, he refused to think about it now, afraid of spoiling the moment. “Feels like we’re in The Notebook right now or some shit. If you’re a frog, I’m a frog. Basically the same thing,” he mumbled, lips brushing against hers, hardly even capable of bringing himself to properly pull back before closing the distance between them once more.
His head on her shoulder made the girl’s smile grow wider, a warm feeling of affection rising up in the spots where she was usually tense. The girl rolled her eyes dramatically, hand unable to stop itself from playing with Mateo’s hair something about the gesture making her feel grounded in the present moment. She wasn’t the kind of person that had a lot of friends. That Mateo had stuck around with her, despite all of the rough spots of her that scratched other people like steel wool, always managed to shock Bea. She was full of holes, like gunshot wounds from the emotional losses of her life, but she felt a little fuller around him. She kissed him without a second thought, eyes closing for a brief second before she let out a laugh of pure happiness, trying to keep all of the doubts and hesitations about what this sort of gentle affection meant out of her mind. Bea shook her head at him. “You’re ridiculous. You’re making me talk ridiculous. I’m like a melting puddle of goo over here. Get me a fackin’ mop,” she mispronounced on purpose, biting her lip as she tried to hold back another laugh. Thankful for the kiss to stop her, she pulled herself tighter towards him, hair dark hair brushing up against his face as they kissed yet again. “Is this your way of telling em to shut up? Rude. Naughty boy...” She mused, before laughing and pulling him in to kiss again.
