"Making the Empire wait is very cocky of you," Lucas leans in close when he delivers his teasing warning, looking down his nose at Bash with a lopsided smirk. "I--I like it." Not quite nailing the intended execution, but it's okay. Close enough, right?
He lets just one more racing heartbeat pass before he gives his boyfriend's hand a tug and sets off again toward their destination, doing his best to hide the nervous breath he draws in a skyward glance, heart still fluttering in his chest. Because somehow, after six months, the butterflies have only gotten more restless every time Lucas looks at Bash.
He's so distracted with the thought he almost walks into an oncoming couple, both of them in mouse ears. He turns sideways and manages, by sheer noodliness, to avoid a collision. "Sorry," he says to the couple as they pass. And then he repeats, to his boyfriend, biting down on an embarrassed smile. "Sorry." So much for seeming cool and confident. That lasted about four seconds.
