“good.” he responded in a short and simple word but there were so many messaged implied in it. noah was a very attractive guy and his personality matched enzo’s a lot more than parker’s did in his mind so he always felt pretty threatened by the guy even if he was a sweetheart. “i’m sure enzo wouldn’t give two fucks about this conversation.” he raised an eyebrow. parker didn’t mean to be rude but he had already started with an attitude and it was hard to break out of it. “yep, we’re still together and i’m pretty sure it’s for the long run.”
noah failed to see why parker willingly chose to stay in noah’s presence if he so clearly despised him this much. was he trying to prove a point? clearly, so. and while noah didn’t necessarily believe parker was right for enzo, he trusted enzo’s judgement and he was willing to accept anything that made his friend happy. “right.” noah responds flatly. “i hope so.” he forces a smile. “we both want the same thing, you know.” he adds conversationally, before realising how his words could be misconstrued. he closes his eyes, holding back a wince “i mean-- not enzo. but, um, enzo’s happiness.” he stutters. “w-we both want him to be happy. that’s all i’ve wanted, really.” his smile turns genuine.
