How Dad Stole Christmas * Open
Sitting down on the floor beside Noah, sitting with his legs crossed Seth listened to him as he spoke, noting the chances in his expression, especially when he talked about his father.
When Noah smiled Seth returned it, his smile small but genuine, he really did enjoy spending time with the older boy, he was fairly certain he would even if he didn’t have an annoyingly large crush on him too. There was just something so earnest and… well, real, about Noah. He was one of the few rare people that Seth believed actually, wholeheartedly meant the words that came out of his mouth and there was no hidden motive behind them. “That’s very kind of you Noah.”
Seth sat for a moment, lips curled in a smile as he watched the other boy. Eyes searching Noah’s face he noticed for the first time the pale freckles that dusted his features. Leaning a little closer Seth pressed a light kiss to the other boy’s cheek. “You are very kind.”
Shrugging he grinned from ear to ear, shaking his head lightly. “It’s got nothing to do with kindness, it’s just the truth. Or well… At least it’s mine.” He hoped that was good enough for Seth, he couldn’t really talk for anyone else but-. His thoughts were cut out when he sensed the boy’s lips brushing his cheek, he could feel his whole face turning a very bright shade of red.
“T- thank you.” Suddenly the socks he’d been given seemed to be the most interesting thing in the world as he carefully avoided his friend’s gaze. Grabbing the hoodie’s cords he fiddled with them, hoping his face would stop burning as much as it did, god he was such an open book that was embarrassing.
After a few minutes of silence he crossed his legs and glanced up, he could still feel the tip of his ears burning but it wouldn’t do to ignore his host. “You- You’re very kind too you know. Like that balm you made for me when I broke my ribs, it was really nice of you.”
