[ Hubert is awfully agreeable today, something Ferdinand might call strange if not for the rapid beating of his own heart, the anticipation that buzzes impatiently under his skin as they slowly, slowly work out just where their relationship is heading.
Somewhere very good indeed, it looks like.
Whether they crossed a threshold earlier or not, they certainly have now. I see no reason why we cannot try, says Hubert, leaning forward, and defying all logic of the universe, Ferdinand’s expression seems to brighten even more. One of his hands remains clutching the back of his chair, and he uses it to leverage himself forward, free hand coming up to cup Hubert’s cheek as he brings their lips together. It’s a gentle thing, almost chaste if not for the way it lingers for a moment too long, Ferdinand savoring the feeling of the other’s lips, the smell of coffee that lingers there.
When he draws away, he’s flushed as well, smiling warmly. ]

And I you.
[ You know, if that wasn’t obvious. ]
