at first, he thinks your fucking with him.
do you not like him? did he say something to piss you off? maybe you just don't find his sarcastic wit charming?
he just can't understand why it seems like you don't respond to him.
but when he finds out the truth, its like a weight lifts off his chest
you do like him, you're just a guy who doesn't feel comfortable talking!
soap's always been good with people, talking to you is no different than conversing with 141 or pretty much anybody.
just this time he's doing like 98% of the yapping
he's a pretty understanding guy, you don't have to explain yourself pretty much at all
its one of those things i can see him working on, like just coming to talk to you everyday. see how your doing.
just when he starts seeing you open up even the slightest, it would push him to feel a sort of soft affection for you
loves making you laugh, and come on, he finds you funny too
probably wouldn't stop thinking about you during the day.
his brown eyes are always flickering over to you, sheepishly wondering what you're thinking when price describes a plan or gaz says something. . . every time he catches himself thinking about you he just shakes his head and laughs softly to himself.
yes, maybe a little 'adoration' is forming. . .
but god if you, the guy he's constantly wondering about, doesn't have him curious and wanting to worm his way a little further into your shell just a little bit each time.
maybe staring at your lips isn't just about wanting to hear a laugh from you anymore
when you finally reach out to him, giving his hand a squeeze in thanks for being. . . well being soap. his heart fucking does a flip in his chest and he has to act like the positive contact from you has zero effect on him.
at first, i think you would catch his attention because the both of you are a bit on the 'quieter' side. like he see's a sort of silent kinship with you he never points out directly.
why you are so quiet he has no clue, and frankly doesn't want to ask you about it.
but he does stare a bit too much, like maybe he hopes you see a sort of similar bond in him too?
when he finally does ask, and understandably gets no response, he just sort of. . . watches you for a minute.
he see's your eyes fidgeting, and you working your hands in your lap, shifting a bit uncomfortably in your seat. like the words, the things you want to say or convey just can't come out the way you want. so they don't.
the pieces sort of click for him. if he doesn't quite get it right (that you're selectively mute) he at least understands the need for a comfortable silence.
obviously doesn't force you to say anything, hell, he can understand the sort of awkwardness of socializing with someone you just met or. . . or even after.
always makes sure you have what you need. he doesn't ask if you needed a spare blanket on a mission, just sort of hands it to you. or if you wanted the granola bar he was holding, he doesn't ask if you want it (he can sort of tell you do) and gives it to you whether you complain or not.
kรถnig gets very good at reading you, he maybe stares a bit too much when you're not looking, but he can't help it if he MAY he a soft spot for you
brother's in denial that he carries any sort of 'affection' for you
but when you both sit together, he stiffens just a little in his seat, watching the subtle way your thigh touches his or the way your shoulder brushes against his. . .
when you fully lean onto his side- gรถtter- he's so thankful he wears a mask to hide how fucking red his face is.
