[hello boyfriend, A is here to cuddle and touch hair and face]

Have I ever told you that you're beautiful?

[...I mean he probably has but 9 times out of 10 it's gonna be phrased in the most backhanded ways possible]

[the benefits of having a feline personality boyfriend: he is always going to be into cuddles and hair/face touching.]

Mm... I've definitely heard "exquisite" at least once.

[gonna play with A's hair himself in that attentively lazy way]

[snort-laughs]

Did I really?

[he definitely did]

Mmmmhm. I believe it was during the mistletoe game, even.

[a good time, then.]

All those lips at the ready, and I still wanted yours more than anything.

[Smiles at first because ~romance~, but it fades a bit. For the most part he'd found that game lowkey stressful.]

[well, gonna lean in for a quick kiss, then. that game was highkey stressful after the fact for him.]

Mmm... so that means you definitely had and have thoughts about smooching other people, right?

Not as much as you might think, X aside.

"Not as much as I think" isn't "none"--who else besides X?

I... don't know. I don't get out much these days. Mars isn't interested, and I cut my losses with Intensity a while back.

[... time to pinch A's cheek]

Don't overthink it. Think based solely on appearances. Like "I would totally smooch this guy, he's hot".

[why did Fox pop into his head? definitely not going to admit that]

That was the list! As I said, I don't get out much!

... that is so the face of someone who totally thought of someone just now.

C'mon, spill.

That was the whole list.

[Now, the problem with foresight warning him to be careful about how he says it means that this second, carefully unemotional and way too blunt delivery is actually more suspicious than the first]

[this face

and then he's SMOOSHING A'S FACE]

You do know getting defensive about it just makes it more suspicious, right?

[oh my god]

It was an intrusive thought! It wasn't anything more than that!

[THERE. THAT'S A MORE HONEST FACE. stops smooshing his face and pats his cheeks]

Even if it's an intrusive thought. There's nothing wrong with thinking it. Or sharing it with your boyfriend who is literally asking you about your intrusive thoughts, you dork.
