I want to say something, but my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth, as he just beams at me glancing up from beneath the dark lashes with a slight, bashful smile.
“It’s my fault,” and he means it, “I’m all yours.”
Now it’s my turn to flush scarlet, from my cheeks to my hair.
Don’t phrase it like that.
He’s teasing me.
But there’s something about the shy light in his eyes that is so much sweeter and more honest than the roguish, devil-may-care confidence, that I almost lose my sensibilities.
He’s not teasing me. And that’s…
“Never mind, go back to being distracted.”
He smirks, raising one eyebrow as the waiter comes over with our plates.
“I am.” He mouths, and I nearly choke on my water.
I lean over the armrest and quickly plant a kiss on the end of his nose, watching his eyes round out into those endless oceans - ebony full moons in his scarlet face.
He immediately moves to hide his embarrassment behind his hand again, but I don’t let it go.
“Oh for heaven's sake.” He says it halfway between a laugh and a shudder, more embarrassed than I think I’ve ever seen him yet.
“That means yes, in case you were wondering,” I smile, folding my sleeves over the upholstered arm even as I keep his right hand clasped in my own.
“Oh does it?” He laughs just slightly, “I couldn’t tell.”
I roll my eyes, but can’t resist the smirk.
“Do you need me to say it again?”
He doesn’t even try to hide the flush this time, though his smile is anything but shy, as he brushes the hair from his neck with his newly freed hand, tossing me a teasing smile.
“I’ll pass for now. I promised my mom I'd be on my best behavior while she was in San Diego, you know.”
I'm aroace so writing flirting is just stupid fun for me. my character Corym is a huge flirt and he's sofun to write that way
Milo's eyes caught Coryms again. He soon caught himself staring at him. "Sorry... have a good evening".
Corym grinned up at him. "Oh and for your own sake, usually the blue sweater suits you but now it clashes with the red in your cheeks." He said, before leaving with a wink.
A teaser for the episode coming out May 24th:
Here we have Kattar flirting with his fans lol:
To my surprise I receive a notification that Kattar is ‘live’ the instant I turn on my wifi.
At this hour?
Clicking on the notif, my screen is washed out by murky-dark footage of Kat laying on his back drowsily with one hand over his face answering the barrage of comments coming in hot and heavy from a little more than seventeen hundred fans.
“Siiii, lo siento. I know. I promised to do the live stream today, but I ended up getting home a lot later than I thought I would.” pause “No no, I didn’t forget. I’m here aren’t I?” pause “I’m sorry. But thank you for waiting for me.”
He blows a kiss to the phone and I feel myself redden involuntarily.
So that’s why people enjoy watching these.
there's some rather coquettish flirting on Alicia's part in the chapter coming out this week too lol
I'll just tease this one part:
At that, his smile evaporates into sullen stone-faced suspicion.
“Aish, so this was all just an elaborate ploy to steal more of my sweaters?”
Leaning his cheek on his left hand, elbow on the sofa arm, he sighs, shading his eyes as if the ugliness is giving him a headache.
“Fine, fine. Anything to get you out of that monstrosity. You can borrow anything you like.”
“Anything?”
“Anything within reason,” he says dryly. “I have a few garments I prefer to keep personal.”
“You’re always adding extra rules,” I pout as the idea creeps up on me slowly.
Just one flush…
“How about that sweater you’re wearing right now?” I tease.
Shy boi rizz, but still rizz
I could try to be a little less distasteful. I look back at the guy, and force a smile.
“Maybe it’s just because I’ve read so many romances. I have a hard time finding anything really unique that impresses me…”
I should have tacked on a ‘much’ at the end…
“Do you think I could impress you?” He asks suddenly.
What?
I look at him blankly.
“What?”
“I’m sorry,” he kind of laughs and smiles uncomfortably at the same time. “The second you walked in here, I knew I had to try to get your number because you’re just so striking…”
“Alicia?!”
“Sorry, I’m just feeling a little queasy,” I mumble, but I’m not sure my sickness is loud enough for him to hear me.
I take my measurements quickly - almost certainly getting them wrong - and leave the measuring tape on Kattar’s bed. He’ll almost certainly be annoyed - but I have to just deal with that today-
“Took you long enough,” Kattar smiles a little teasingly as I drag myself back into the living room.
“I’ve gained a few inches,” I mutter, sitting at the opposite end of the couch, not looking him in the face.
I watch out of the corner of my eye as he’s washed in-
Worry-
About me, please.
I’m not okay.
“Is that something to cry over, bella?” he smiles nervously, putting one hand to my burning cheek and trying to get me to look at him - and his words start to mesh into each other-
It’s just the accent - But that’s not what I hear.
“-It wouldn’t kill you to gain a few pounds. You’d lost too much weight back then.”
“Aish,” I shake my head trying to shake off my anxiety, but it clings to me like - “You sound like a mother…”
“Ahhhh, that won’t do,” he shakes his head, cringing a little, “What should I say then? I prefer my sweetheart a little softer.”
