“Give me a kiss. No wait…two kisses. No, three ki-” [from The Engineeer of course :3 In either canon or human au whichever]
“Three kisses?” The freckled male repeated the request with an arched eyebrow before lips curled into a teasing grin. “That’s an awfully steep fine there Darlin’. In this economy..”
Of course he was more than happy to deliver the kisses. Especially considering the date. Not that..Oscar needed a manufactured holiday to show affection and care towards his partner but. It was a good excuse. Besides..some of the decorations ended up being cute or just..purely aesthetic. He’d ordered the other a box of those gore inspired chocolates. The one’s shaped like organs and what not. Hadn’t..handed ‘em over yet. But that could come later. Maybe while they watched a movie for something to snack on. He’d also gotten a fresh batch of dipped apples–those would ALSO come later, less The Engineer make himself sick.
“What’s in it fer me?” A gloved hand came to prop his chin up, resting on the arm of the couch before he bit his bottom lip. “Besides gettin’ ta smooch yer handsome mug?”
introvertedscience:
Valentine’s Day had always been pretty lackluster for Oscar. Honestly just another day…like most holidays. His sweet tooth didn’t appreciate many chocolates and taffy’s weren’t exactly a common place candy on the holiday. Though he didn’t mind conversation hearts. Nice to crunch on while he worked. The roses he’d woken up to had been a shock. A nice one! Don’t get him wrong! The hidden treats had earned the biggest smile he could manage, touched by the thoughtful gesture from his boyfriend. Not to mention the fact that they were fake–anything else sentenced to death should the two need to care for actual flowers. With fake ones..he could pin them up his workspace as a reminder of the gesture.
“Iunno there pal..” Brown eyes squinted suspiciously as the counted fingers were held out towards him and his boyfriend puffed out his chest. “Three whole kisses. Stretchin’ yer funds pretty thin there ya know?” Smile dipped into something sheepish for a moment, just to make sure his partner knew he was joking around before he resumed his thoughtful pout. “Somethin’ ta bribe me huh? What’s the one the table here? What ace ya got hidin’ up yer sleeve there Sweetheart?”
He tapped thoughtfully at his chin.
“Somethin’ could be arranged..depends.”
The Engineer’s sweet tooth appreciated Valentine’s Day enough - or, more accurately, it appreciated the day after Valentine’s Day, when all the chocolates and sweets went cheap. If he was lucky, he could snag a box of those alcoholic chocolates. They were always fun.
Not this year, though! This year, he had Oscar!
Oof, the flowers had been…a worry, if he were honest. He knew Oscar didn’t much appreciate the pretty plants as gifts, wasn’t really that kind of guy, so he was concerned on if the flowers would receive an awkward thanks or not. He supposed the taffy in them helped - and the colour. Had made sure the shade of blue of the petals was as close to Oscar’s favourite shade as he could get.
“Whaaat?” The Engineer asked, voice reaching a higher pitch, then he waved a hand. “Nooo. Noooo, I’m not. Three kisses is nothin’, I’m alright. Got enough.” He gave a small chortle, briefly breaking the act, before he put his hands to his hips. Which…probably looked a bit silly, considered he was sitting on the arm of the couch rather than the couch itself, but he was making do. It was comfortable here. Sturdy.
“Ohh, wouldn’t you like to know?” The Engineer asked cheekily, grinning deviously. When Oscar tapped at his chin, The Engineer’s grin widened. “Depends, huh? Depends on what? How goooood my bribe is? Huh? Or have you got some other idea here, Williams?” He folded his arms. “I’ll take it, whatever you got. I’m ready - and I’m gettin’ my three kisses, just you watch. Maybe more, if I play my cards right~” He waggled with his eyebrows.
