he studies regulus for another second, then exhales through his nose, the corner of his mouth lifting again β¦
he stands still as regulus adjusted the glasses back on, blinking slightly and letting lenses settle into focus back again ββ a hand resting loosely at the youngerβ waist, casual.
a thank you was on the tip of his tongue, maybe teasing regulus too ββ but the words β¦
he dares to step closer, just enough for the space between them disappears entirely without disturbing his careful work. just enough to have a better look at regulusβ face, though itβs blurry still ββ he just watches.
the corner of his lips tugged up then β¦.
curiosity passes through his eyes before it disappears, a scoff slipping out as he reaches up automatically, sliding the glasses off β of course youβd notice that β β

β isnβt this what you wanted though ? my whole attention on you and you only. β
