( This shouldn't be romantic. She doesn't do romance, Hubert is a novice, and this is their first time doing anything like this together, and yet when he goes ahead and says your companionship is more than enough Nico feels something inside her melt. Is this what she's needed this whole time? Someone to talk to her like she's in one of those old-timey romance novels?
Her flush deepens as their foreheads touch, and Nico feels herself smiling again. )
Okay.
( ... Fuck it. It's not like anyone else has to know how much she likes his formal charm, right? Her fingertips massage gentle circles into the muscle at the back of his neck, and when she slots their lips together again it's a little warmer, a little softer, and somehow a little more than it was before.
Not romantic.
Not romantic.
