LUCIUS.
the expressions as they pass along laurence’s face make lucius want to laugh – nothing whole hearted, just a small chuckle that actually passes past his lips as the man bites his lower lip. he doesn’t mind the way the man’s gaze dodges his, shaking his head at the comments as they were made. now that was… well, partly true.
❝ i happen to think you have the aesthetic. you just don’t know it. and it’s not a bad thing to have. i think your smile is adorable. ❞
thoughts scatter and laurence presses his tongue to the point of one canine tooth. that laugh. distracting. his eyes dart to the side before drifting back up to lucius’ face. he’s pretty, laurence realizes. not helping the concentration. not helping at all.
❛ i– what?? that’s not– how?? ❜ oh dear, there goes his coherency. ❛ it’s not– has anyone told you you’re too much?? not!! in a bad way!! i mean– oh god. ❜ he buries his face in his hands.
