#a study in tenderness

[dreamingpartone]

“Did you have fun on this trip?” Noya glanced at him through the corner of his eye. “Like, seriously.”

It was an easy question.

a little while ago the lovely @spadebrigade commissioned me to draw a moment from her (appropriately tender) asanoya fic, a study in tenderness

big thanks to you, spadey, for giving noya a cool tat and trusting me to replicate it ❤
