Chapter Text
Lardo and Shitty just left and the apartment feels empty.
Monsieur Éléphant and I are sad.
Oh honey 
Wishing Señor Bun and I could cuddle you both
Will asks if I’m texting my boyfriend
I have the worst poker face
Another thing we have in common.
Says the man who kept his crush on me SECRET FOR SIX MONTHS
Does it count as a secret if I didn’t know?
Mmm … I’m gonna go with YES
But you’re a good kisser so I’ll forgive you
I’m a good kisser?
That is what we would call leading the witness Mr. Zimmermann
...but 
I’ll take that as a yes.
You are also a good kisser.
I am?
Now who’s fishing for compliments Bittle.
No, it was genuine surprise
I mean
I haven’t had a lot of practice
Again, something we have in common.
Really?
I thought...Kent?
A little.
He didn’t … he usually wanted to cut right to the chase.
We didn’t do a lot of … everything else.
Oh.
...I should probably say I’m sorry
But
It’s okay.
I mean, it wasn’t.
But I don’t want to go back and fix it now.
I’d rather just learn with you.
Oh
Um
Just so you know, the rest of the table is probably TOTALLY aware you’re flirting with me
Even though they don’t know who you are
I like it when you’re a little bit flushed.
So our relationship going to consist of you saying things to make me blush outrageously
I’m pretty sure we knew that already.
I’m open to suggestions if you want to even the score?
Way to put a boy on the spot!!
Your hands are … nice and, um, large?
Which sounds like a dirty joke
But isn’t I swear
Not that dirty jokes are bad
I just
I like the way your hands are big enough that you can wrap them around my feet
Or my wrists
It’s … comforting
And … hot
I think about your hands a lot TBH
TBH?
Oh. Right. Never mind.
Well, I only have Monsieur Éléphant for independent verification, but he says I am blushing.
Yeah?
Yes, Bits.
Thinking about touching you makes my palms tingle.
I’ve been…
I’ve been touching myself, a little, thinking of you touching me.
Or touching you instead of myself.
I AM AT WORK OH MY GOD
KEEP GOING
So what do you want to hear more about?
Me touching you?
You touching me?
ALL OF IT
Except, damn it, I have to go put the spaghetti sauce back on
Sorry.
Sorry Bits.
DO NOT APOLOGIZE MR.
We will be talking about this again later
What time are you getting home tonight?
Probably about the usual time
Talk to you then?
Talk to you then
What was it you did?
and 
?
You’re learning!
and
