threads their fingers together
❝ Wh ———, ❞ alright, so he has no right to be as shocked as he is, to be honest, and yet. And fucking yet.
It’s ——— it’s fucking absurd how such a simple, basic, supposed to be easy gesture causes him to get EMBARRASSED, of all things. Him, Seifer fucking Almasy, embarrassed, because of blondie !! It’s stupid on so many levels, yet here they are, standing side by side and he can feel his face heating in spite of himself and, really, it’s just. The worst. There’s no reason to get embarrassed, considering they’re ——— something. Boyfriends? Ugh. Partners? Wayyyyy too much. Maybe Seifer is just too much of an emotionally idiotic teenager to figure it out ( though boyfriends is really as close as anyone could feasibly get and the moniker is kind of grossly romantic, even if it causes something to warm in his chest, and fuck that thing for softening, by the way. )
Still : he finds himself turning shades of red and his head turns and he / stares at Hayner with eyes that are a hair too wide and he kind of wants to eat his fucking hat right now, thanks. This is stupid. This is thoroughly stupid and he’s not sure if he’s more embarrassed by the action or the fact that Hayner’s managed to get ONE UP ON HIM by holding his fucking hand. What the fuck. What the fuck !!
❝ You ———, ❞ gee, Romeo, great spluttering you have going on there. Hat, meet mouth. Hayner looks way too smug considering that he’s turned a light shade of pink, too, and maybe Seifer just wants to shove his hat into Hayner’s mouth instead, if only to get rid of that stupid smug curve of his mouth. There’s a challenge there, there has to be, everything with them os a GODDAMN CHALLENGE which is, admittedly, questionable when it comes to the foundations of a romantic relationship but. Well. That’s just how they work, isn’t it?
They fight. They argue. They gripe at each other. And they’re holding hands.
WHY IS HE SO FUCKING EMBARRASSED BY HOLDING HANDS?
❝ You’re looking a little overheated there, Seifer, ❞ oh, this little shit.
❝ Shut up, blondie, ❞ the best comeback, obviously. There’s a flash of Hayner’s teeth as his smile widens and he squeezes Seifer’s hand and, god damn it. Motherfucker. This ——— little punk might as well be the death of him. Or maybe his automatic response to all of this, pointless though it is, will be what finally does him in.
His mind races and, really. There’s only one way to get a leg up on Hayner getting a leg up on him. So : he squeezes Hayner’s hand and brings it up to his mouth and he might be set on fire as he presses a quick and way too firm kiss against his hand, though really it’s more his wrist because his aim here is fucking terrible, damn it, and the way that Hayner’s eyes widen is so fucking gratifying. And, just for the cherry on top, he tugs him closer and leans down : slotting their mouths together in a brief, also a hair too hard kiss, and. Well. Maybe that was more for him.
Then again, kissing each other is something they… both like. Mutually. Hence the probably boyfriends part of their, well. Relationship. So maybe it’s for both of them.
❝ Wow, you’re so ——— ❞ Hayner starts, looking red but sounding way too amused and. Seifer may have miscalculated his counterattack.
❝ Don’t say it, ❞ his voice dips and he tries for threatening but misses it by… a few inches. A few thousand inches, even.
❝ You’re ——— ❞ yeah, that’s definitely laughter in his voice. Which is a nice sound, actually, but not in this situation.
