“Well, I hope that going on a date with me would be an upswing for you.” He shrugged a shoulder shyly. “And that’s definitely an upswing for me, too.” He winked and poked Blaine’s nose again. “And, hopefully, if all goes well, then maybe it can continue to be an upswing for both of us…”
“Definitely an upswing,” he smiled feeling the warmth in his cheeks spreading over the bridge of his nose and getting hotter. Blaine tucked his chin down as the second poke broke him into a bubbly laugh. “I hope it is for you and that it stays that way for us but– First? I have to get this out of my system.” Lifting his head–hazel eyes twinkled with a devilish glee as he inched closer. Poke! Right on the tip of Isaac’s nose! And one more poke to make them even followed.
