eques-vitreum:
Chuckling softly to himself at the small grumble which Grimm gave at his hair being ruffled, the man did this for but a few moments longer before lightly combing his fingers through the strands, smoothing them back out a little. And while somewhat expecting the other to simply glance over his words, a small hum was given toward the reply he received. Simply watching his own fingers and their movements for a few moments with a slightly absentminded gaze, it took a moment for him to notice the other looking up at him, gaining a slightly curious expression once he’d done so. While not aware of just what was going through the younger male’s mind… it was likely he would’ve been appreciative of those thoughts had he known of them. At this point however, it didn’t seem the past was likely to repeat itself… As even while still being prone to his difficult moments, Cinderella was honestly content with how things were presently.
As the time ticked by the older man eventually caught on to the younger one’s stare, although… Noticing where it had drifted was something he didn’t catch until spotting the red which washed over the other’s face. Holding a chuckle in behind a smile, Cinderella once again ran his fingers through Grimm’s hair, tucking a few strands behind the boy’s ear as the other went to hug onto his side. “You really are simply too cute at times…” murmuring this a bit softly, he then gave the boy’s cheek a soft rub with his thumb, finally letting that earlier chuckle slip past his lips.
It was the next words the other male said that had Grimm shrink a little, his face heating up against Cinderella’s side a little more. The fact that he laughed didn’t really help things either. However, he said nothing for the moment, trying to even think about what he would say as a comeback or something. “S-stupid...” he murmured, knowing that this little insult would only be taken as a good thing to the other, but that was the only thing out of many that managed to pass through his lips. For a moment, Grimm sat there, wondering how Cinderella would react to being called beautiful.. Handsome would probably be better, though right? Probably in a stupid way, maybe.. Stupid Cinderella.
Shifting a little, his mind brought him to another train of thought... What would he think if he kissed him? Cinderella’s lips looked soft... A memory slipped through his head with this and he swallowed. They were soft... “You know, you have soft lips for a man...” he randomly stated, pressing his lips together with that comment, he was trying to make it seem like an insult, but he knew the way he was acting himself was giving off a whole other story.
