" okay . give me pen and paper , you will call me picasso soon enough . " thick accent is garnished with a cheeky grin , waggling his eyebrows at the semblance of a challenge . would make an absolute fool of himself trying to conjure up the same amount of talent that atlas has -- but if it made homme smile , then it was well worth it . huffs out a laugh through his nose at his correct accusation , giving an aloof shrug of one shoulder . " mm , maybe . but the naked body is art , yes ? " the look in the other's eyes is so intense it almost makes him shift uncomfortably , not used to being stared at so intently .. especially by him . not that he's complaining , quite likes having his full , undivided attention -- just isn't accustomed to how uneasy it has his stomach twisting into knots . has always been open , flirty , perhaps to a fault , but atlas has always had a way of stirring something unfamiliar up ... something that has him staring at bedroom ceiling at night , drifting off into daydreams when he's coaching drills at work . probably needs to get his head checked or something . maybe that'll help . brows raise as he inches his chair closer , not expecting him to entertain his suggestion but finds himself pleasantly surprised , a smirk twitching at the edge of his lips . takes that as a directive so he's leaning forward slightly , tugging fabric over his head until he's falling back comfortably into the cushions . " what , this is not good enough for you ? " gestures towards exposed , defined abdomen with faux hurt while the other manipulates t - shirt strategically onto his shoulder . hues snap up to look at the other's face , only inches away , and at the subtle brush of his fingertips , his skin burns for more . " master of his craft .. " breathes with weighted stare boring into him , so painfully aware of how intimate this really is -- allowing homme to draw every fine line , every imperfection onto paper . it feels almost vulnerable . something he very rarely allows himself to be . " a kiss . " it's said instantly , a response that flows so freely off of his tongue as if he'd rehearsed it a thousand times . hues pointedly drop to the plush set of his lips , his own curling around a vague smile , " maybe two , if i'm aiming for what i would deem the highest achievement .
