Rhys’s face was absolutely beet red as Tim caught him, both from embarrassment and... Something else. Not that the double needed to know his little “joke” had been right on the money. He forced a laugh and tried his best to look anywhere but that stupid attractive face. It was hard, though, considering the way Tim was looking at him. He could absolutely hear his heart thudding away in his chest. God, Tim was so nice. Warm, too.
“Thanks for catching me.” He said a little bit lamely. Tim hadn’t put him down yet but Rhys certainly wasn’t about to complain. It wasn’t often that he was swept off his feet after all. Would it be weird for him to help secure the hold by putting his arms around the double’s neck? Probably. He risked a glance towards the older man’s face, the same soft expression there. Ah, he had it bad.
“What would you say if I offered to hire you on as my personal fall protection?”
Rhys was, of course, joking. Sort of. Wasn’t he? If he suddenly got a bit clumsier who would be the wiser? Zer0, probably. Actually, thinking about it Zer0 would likely have a lot to say about the whole thing. He frowned a little bit and cast his gaze back to the floor. Okay, yeah, he was joking. Maybe. The prospect was still tempting, to have Tim around when Zer0 wasn’t. It could work.
