HAS HE BEEN RUSHING? maurice seems to stop altogether —- jacket tugged unevenly over narrow shoulders and bag taunt against his chest. his heels aren’t fully in his shoes, and yet he’d already been reaching for the door handle. and most tellingly, perhaps, is how cheeks burn red from exertion and eagerness.
maybe he has been a little quick to get out the door, but if only ippolit knew the reason! an embarrassed expression settles shyly over him as hand falls away from the handle and shoulders straighten in some useless attempt at dignity. unexpected is the rush that his secret —- the boy he’d met days ago, with whom he has already fallen in love —- brings him, and how he wants to feel it again! the simple mention that he might be there is enough to make maurice privately nervous and excitable.
and he must soon bury it! fully well he knows that his beloved will tease him mercilessly if maurice is unable to maintain some modicum of apathy. he’ll never hear the end of it!
“ i only want to get there soon. ” the conspiratorial grin on his face does not lend itself to concealing what he wants to say. hands fold before him, and after checking over his shoulder ( as though there might be some sudden and unexpected guest in his own apartment ) leans toward ippolit. “ if i’m being honest, i’m meeting someone there. ”
