[ Peter can feel his cheeks warm again but can't be bothered to feel embarrassed. Not when Frank is nuzzling him and Peter's arms naturally wrap around the other man's neck to keep him there. ]
I guess I do.
[ It's now his turn to press kisses to Frank's face. ]
[They're both smiling like fools. There's nothing flimsy or unreal about the way his heart beats. There's no reason in his head to fear or worry when they're in private away from the world.]
[There's definitely a difference in his expression, a lighter, brighter kind of a inside glow. No one has ever looked at Frank like this. It's hardly been a whole day all together, but he could get used to this.]
You first, you're gonna change your mind sharing. It's the best in town.
[He leans to one side to bring the sack on the bed. Frank's just going to make himself comfortable, laying close by.]
Mario says he's sorry. Really hopes you didn't scare off.
[ Peter scoots over some to allow Frank more room to lay down before he's sitting up properly, the sheet pooled in his lap now. He shrugs after taking the bag with the sandwich, ]
As long as you still wanted me around, I was going to stay. I just... I don't know. I don't know how any of this works.
[ It's not like they can be open about this and Peter lacks more experience than Frank does. ]
[ Peter moves his leg under the sheet enough to nudge Frank in the chest with the back of his foot. ]
I wouldn't mind more monkey business.
[ But he has the sandwich out and finally takes a bite. Only a few chews and he's giving a soft noise of approval before biting off more. Around his mouthful, ]
[That's an important distinction. He reaches for Peter's foot and holds him at the ankle while Frank leans in. Why? He's not sure. Just because. Being in his presence with the remainders of the sensual haze of earlier really does make his mind start wandering.]
Only best for my guy.
[The words are out. Shit. Frank's ears are trying to go red. No apology in sight.]
[His voice drops and he's honestly interested in what it is about himself that Peter thinks is so undesirable. They still need to spend more time together, get to know one another emotionally with the same intimacy they share physically already. Frank's dark brown eyes search those bright eyes that got him bad.]
no subject
You dream about me already?
[He smiles and nuzzles the other man's face with his nose.]
It's me. You must have been really tired.
no subject
I guess I do.
[ It's now his turn to press kisses to Frank's face. ]
I was. You wore me out.
no subject
Aw, man. D'you need more recovery time? I got you a sandwich.
[As he's laying on top of him anyways.]
no subject
You got me a sandwich? Really?
no subject
[His eyebrows quirk and his head tilts to the side.]
There aren't that many things to eat here.
no subject
[ He can't stop grinning. ]
I didn't expect that.
[ His fingers start sliding into Frank's hair, ]
I didn't expect any of this...
no subject
I like surprises.
[He leans again in for a brief, little kiss.]
I like you.
no subject
I like you, too.
[ Even if they've already said it, Peter likes hearing it and is starting to really enjoy saying it. ]
no subject
What's it going to take to keep you here a little longer? I'm... sure you've gotta be somewhere. Just like having you around.
no subject
Well, you got me that sandwich. You wanna share it?
no subject
You first, you're gonna change your mind sharing. It's the best in town.
[He leans to one side to bring the sack on the bed. Frank's just going to make himself comfortable, laying close by.]
Mario says he's sorry. Really hopes you didn't scare off.

As long as you still wanted me around, I was going to stay. I just... I don't know. I don't know how any of this works.
[ It's not like they can be open about this and Peter lacks more experience than Frank does. ]
no subject
I do, I really do.
[To put a finer point on it as if it wasn't obvious enough.]
Well, I mean. I like you. You like me... uh... I don't have a pin or a ring or anything but you wanna go steady?
no subject
You mean... like, dating? Just me and you?
no subject
[Spoken like it ain't no thing except he steals a glance that ruins his tough guy rebuff.]
I mean, if you want. I know it's sudden.
no subject
That would make you... my first boyfriend.
no subject
[He clears his throat.]
You'll be my first too. My real first. Not...well, monkey business.
no subject
I wouldn't mind more monkey business.
[ But he has the sandwich out and finally takes a bite. Only a few chews and he's giving a soft noise of approval before biting off more. Around his mouthful, ]
That is so good.
no subject
[That's an important distinction. He reaches for Peter's foot and holds him at the ankle while Frank leans in. Why? He's not sure. Just because. Being in his presence with the remainders of the sensual haze of earlier really does make his mind start wandering.]
Only best for my guy.
[The words are out. Shit. Frank's ears are trying to go red. No apology in sight.]
no subject
I only want you.
[ Is it too soon to be saying that? Because he just said it. No taking it back now. ]
no subject
...I never felt like this with anyone before. ...never really thought anyone would reciprocate.
[The guy still has a sandwich to eat but give him a second. He kisses back, eyes lifting to his face.]
no subject
I never thought I would get this lucky... Never thought I would find a guy that wanted me.
no subject
[His voice drops and he's honestly interested in what it is about himself that Peter thinks is so undesirable. They still need to spend more time together, get to know one another emotionally with the same intimacy they share physically already. Frank's dark brown eyes search those bright eyes that got him bad.]
no subject
No guy there would give me a chance. I was always so nervous and they would just laugh and leave. Made me feel like I was just... I don't know.
[ Undesirable. Pathetic. Too inexperienced and always would be. ]
no subject
[Frank reaches up to cup his chin to hold his head still.]
You're special. And don't think anything else. I'm gonna try and treat you right like the way you deserve.
