“No. Scared is, well, scared – startled is like a moment of shock.” Elliott kept arguing his case even though he didn’t really need to or gain anything from it – he just couldn’t help it. When Blaine tiptoed up Elliott couldn’t deny the little bit of warmth and care he felt; it was just such an adorable little action, from such a loved little guy.
After a few moments of them hugging like that, Elliott started to hum gently, swaying a inch or so from side to side in a soothing manner. It looked like Blaine hadn’t had an easy day, and Elliott was more than happy to try and make it that much better with some hugs and love. It was the least Blaine deserved.
“I think,” He eventually started, breaking the near silence between them. “You should go and have a bath while I cook dinner. You look like it’s been a really rough day.”
“Okay. Well. Sorry for shocking you so bad then.” Blaine smirked and lost the battle with holding in his laughter as he swayed along with Elliott. This was perfectly peaceful and exactly what he needed after the day he had. NYADA students weren’t known for their non-dramatic way of dealing with things. And it felt like his plate was full with it from minute one until he was practically rushing out the doors to come HOME at the end of his classes.
Being pulled half a dozen directions all at once would wear anyone down. Toss in every person doing the pulling or tugging acting like it was the end of their world if he didn’t follow along and help? Yeah. That bath sounded fantastic.
“Honestly, Elliott? Can you be anymore amazing?” Lifting up onto his toes, the shorter of the pair pressed a kiss to the edge of the other’s mouth. “How about pasta night? I’ll help with a salad when I’m out of the bath. Okay? Or…” Even better? “You know you could join me and we we could work on dinner together when we’re done.. Just an idea,” he hummed and then let his lip twist into a flirtatious grin. “You know..a thought. Could be nice?”
