perhaps he should ease up a little bit, raising a brow to the complete look of sheer panic on laurence’s features. it’s a bit funny how so little actually got to him, but it almost seemed to be a bit much.
though the man kept responding and lucius was never good at practicing certain forms of self-restraints. ❝ donations are considered to be an act of altruism, so this definitely seems like more of an exchange. and i wouldn’t say shades of grey… more shades of red. you’re adorable when you blush. ❞
laurence makes a sound in the back of his throat, clenches his jaw slightly. okay laurence, it’s just flirting. you can do this. you’re not a terribly awkward person who sticks his foot in his mouth every other sentence.
pep talk done, he meets lucius’ eyes. ❛ really, if you think about it, we’re the ones being altruistic. those brownies are to DIE for and you’re only spending a couple dollars on them. ❜ a coherent sentence, wow. doing good.
❛ i am an adult human male, hardly adorable. handsome, maybe. cute, sure. adorable is for toddlers and puppies. ❜ he nods with certainty. not exactly smooth but it’s better than the stuttering mess from moments ago.
