"Are you flirting with me?" with Tegan and Tyler qbqgbqgq
Tyler is saying something; Tegan knows he is, but his voice is drowned out by the sound of battle. The redhead forges on, clearing another floor in Persona 5, without replying. Tyler knows by now not to interrupt when he’s in the middle of a game.
That’s when Tyler forces his head on his lap. He’s pouting. “Dude, pay attention to me!”
Tegan remembers that when his friend wants attention, nothing stands in his way.
“Alright, I’m listening.” Thankfully, multitasking—especially while playing a game—is no stranger to him.
“Good,” Tyler says, but doesn’t move. Tegan tries not to flush; Tyler’s always touching him, whether it be an arm around his shoulder or, well, his head in his lap. “I’ve got the best bro joke ever. You’re going to die.”
Of course this was what he wanted to talk about. “Lay it on me, bro.”
Tyler clears his throat. “You know what’s my favourite element from the periodic table?” he asks.
Tegan raises a brow. A science joke, coming from Tyler of all people? “No, what is it?”
“Bromine,” Tyler answers. “Now ask me why.”
To his surprise, Tyler reaches up and cups his head. Tegan’s unable to act unfazed; he looks down at his friend. He’s smiling wide, like he usually does delivering a punchline, yet his eyes are soft. “Because you’re mine, bro.”
Tegan blinks. On the TV screen, Joker’s spotted by a Shadow, triggering a battle. “Are you flirting with me? As in… seriously?”
Somehow, Tyler grins even wider. “Have been for the past year now, but thanks for noticing.”
