at the look, pascal gulps. itâs an involuntary reaction to being looked at so thoroughly, and wolf hasnât even approached him yet. sure, pascal has been staring, and sure, heâs a little embarrassed about it but being looked at by another boy isâitâs new and more than a little exciting.Â
he takes wolfâs compliment with a smile, glad to know his teammate sees the work pascal has been putting into their shared sport. âthanks, uh. thank yaâ and then wolf moves, coming so much closer to pascal that he feels an anticipation building. heâs not sure what the anticipation is for but itâs present.Â
âitâsâactive, i reckon. beinâ active,â his words are getting all stumbled together and this only happens around girls he like likes. the thought is fleeting but it still instills a shock in him. girls he likes. as far as he knows, wolf does not identify as a girl, which meansâpascal clears his throat, âyeah, iâve been, uh. been doinâ sports most of my life. grew up around a few teams, learned that people work well together. so iâiâve stuck with it, now. been a few years,â he licks his lips and turns his head once he realizes what heâs done, what the action might imply. âi, uh. yeah,â he finds himself finishing lamely, wanting to say more but still startled by the thought heâs had about liking. âyeah.â
The closer they got, the more Wolfgangâs nerves seemed to grow- yet he held his head high, smiled wide and tried his best to be confident. And as far as he was concerned, he was doing a good job, no- he was doing a great job. Perhaps he wasnât as nervous as heâd originally thought- he certainly felt sure of what he was doing.
Heâd noticed Pascal staring, and heâd also noticed how it made him feel- heâd liked the attention. Perhaps, he even loved it. And the fact that it was coming from Pascal? It made it all better.Â
âNo problem,â he responded with a small laugh as he ran his fingers through his hair, nodding his head as he listened to the other male. Truthfully he couldnât care less about their conversation- but didnât want their conversation to end. âI could tell,â he responded with a laugh as he looked over the other male, allowing his tongue to graze his lips as he lifted his head to meet the otherâs eyes. âYouâre a natural,â he continued, playfully nudging the other in the shoulder.Â
