“then you’ve been selling yourself too short, pretty boy.” the banter is familiar and much easier than the topic tobias keeps trying to bring up. relationships and feelings ⏤ all things not made for people like him. “if you say so, i’ll just take your word for it.” he had tried that before, naively thinking that it was the path to happiness; in the end, it had brought nothing but more pain. “i’m not saying it’s a bad thing,” he defends himself with a playful smirk. “it actually looks good on you.”
“It’s like you don’t even know me. I never sell myself short.” Tobias reminds him, laughing softly. That’s not necessarily true - but when it comes to their relationship and what brought them together, he definitely knew exactly what he was worth. Besides, he knows Liam’s just trying to distract him - and for now, he’ll go along with it. But he’s not dropping it forever. “You should, we both know I’m the smart one here.” He smiles and shrugs his shoulder, though he can’t deny he’s glad to hear he looks as happy as he feels. “Thanks, Liam. It’s - it’s pretty amazing. I didn’t expect to find this, so it’s really just. It’s great. Better than great.”
