[ It's a confirmation followed by a soft yelp when the other blows a raspberry against his skin, and then Kaveh looks at him, because he understands that he's confirming it, but at the same time he's being such a brat...
[Trying not to chuckle, Alhaitham draws back to look back at Kaveh, his thumb coming up to trace that pouty lower lip. He tries to adopt a thoughtful, introspective expression—something he does surprisingly well, even with the mask.]
I'd say it's difficult to compare. But he gets all my attention.
[ The way the other teases only inspires him to keep pouting, especially when he's already getting so much from it in the touch of that thumb, the way that it's clear Euler is trying not to chuckle at him. ]
All your attention?
[ It's hard not to smile at that, but he keeps up the act for now. ]
[He hums an affirmative, flicking those pouty lips, then leaning in and pecking them softly. Cute. He looks like a kitten when he's riled up or sulking.]
I don't watch anyone els—
[There's a moment where Euler arches his eyebrows, and then cradles Pharos' face, looks at him as though he's seeing him for the very first time.] Wait—but it's you! What are the chances that you're both the same person?
[ There's a moment of stunned silence where Kaveh simply looks at him— and then the blonde starts to laugh, bright and warm, his hands lifting to cup those that are currently cradling his face. ]
You... Euler, you're so silly.
[ The words are said with a fondness that knows no equal, and Kaveh leans in until their noses are touching. ]
Imagine if a man's favorite streamer and a streamer's favorite customer knew each other in real life. That would be the stuff of fairy tales, wouldn't it?
That can only happen in romance novels of dubious quality. [He nuzzles that nose, his eyes closing, reveling in that softness and beautiful laughter. He likes it. He really, really likes it. He hopes he'll get to see Kaveh himself laughing like this, instead of self-deprecating or sarcastic.]
But it would be a dream if it happened. [He says before kissing him gently.]
[ With a smile, he leans into that kiss, a contented sound on his lips.
Little does he know that the situation he's now daydreaming about, the idea that he and Euler could share space in their real lives, is already real, and in many ways the bane of his existence. ]
Besides.. who said that dubious quality romance novels couldn't be fun in their own ways? [ With a laugh, he presses a kiss to Euler's cheek, and then to his earlobe, murmuring the next sentence into it— trying desperately (and failing) not to laugh as he does: ]
"His body was hard— not hard like a strongman, but hard like the marble on your shower floor, when you fall and bang your knee."
[He snorts, then chuckles. Alhaitham wraps his arms around Kaveh's waist and tilts his head.] What quality writing. I'll give you points for realism.
Though, [he runs his hand up and down the streamer's spine, a tender caress, and he settles his hand between his shoulder blades,] I'm not sure which of the male leads it's referring to.
Can you blame me when it was written so beautifully?
[He grins, pressing his mouth to Kaveh's ear, just nuzzling, cuddling him close. Even if his stomach tenses and twitches at the touch.] You're not giving yourself enough credit.
[ He makes a show of rolling his eyes at the other, but he can't quite keep the silly smile off his face, especially as he feels the tense, the twitch of muscles under his exploring fingers. It makes him dip them lower, stroking along his pubic bone instead, slow and teasing and allowing himself to creep a little too close— ]
I'm giving myself plenty of credit. I know my body's good, but of the two of us, I think it's obvious who takes more care of themselves in that way.
[There's a hiss, a jolt. Those fingers, beautiful, artistical, dexterous as they are, are also a temptation. He nudges his face with his nose, eyes pointed as he looks at Kaveh's.]
Pharos... [He plucks them away before they draw an ache to the dormant arousal that's always present when they're in the presence of one another, then kisses them.] I only work out regularly for my health. Aesthetics are just a fortunate coincidence.
[ A hint of that pout comes back to his lips as his hand is drawn away from the other, but he smiles at the touch of Euler's mouth to it, and his other hand comes up to touch the other's face again. ]
Well, I'll accept the coincidence for what it is.
[ Still, it's not like he works out for his health... ]
You're... a really smart guy, Euler. You know that, right?
Mm, I just felt like it. I think it pretty often, but—
[ A firm knock on the door interrupts him, and Kaveh looks up toward it, then back at Euler, confusion settling on his expression.
A voice, professional and polite, calls out: "Sirs, I'm sorry to interrupt, but I've been asked to let you know that the bar is due to close shortly. We are asking that all private guests finish their engagements and prepare to leave the establishment."
The frustrated, saddened look that comes across Kaveh's face this time is much realer than the silly pouts he's been wearing for the last several minutes, and his gaze drops from Euler's. He knew this time would come eventually, but... ]
Alhaitham leans in closer and embraces Kaveh tightly. He does so with a sigh.] I know the feeling.
[He, too, would like to spend more time talking and cuddling with him, continue to see him in this personal state, without Kaveh's animosity towards him without Alhaitham even saying anything. It's… comfortable. He thinks that's probably why they're so at ease with trying new things with each other.
He tugs him for a kiss, slowly deepening it until they're both breathless. Something to remember him by.]
[ He sighs in response to Euler's sigh, and he's about to say something, anything, some kind of desperate attempt to keep their moment for longer, but then the other man draws him in closer, kisses him, soft and slow and deep, until Kaveh can't breathe anymore in the best of ways.
When he pulls back, it's with panted breath, and he looks up at him with luminous eyes, nods in response to that promise. ]

[Alhaitham keeps nuzzling, moving his affection along his temple, the side of his face, down to his neck.
And then he blows a raspberry against the skin.] Maybe. He's so talented. Stunning, too.

Silly. It's a quote from some terrible romance novel. I didn't write that!
Besides...

If it were referring to one of us over the other, it would obviously be talking about you.
