( PLAY ) playing with mine’s hair.“seduction” starters | status: accepting

he hadn’t mean to fall asleep, what had started as a quiet night had eventually ended with henri having his head laid in jackson’s lap with the latters hand carding through his blond hair until he found himself dozing off soundly. at some point during the nap, henri had hooked one of his fingers into one of jackson’s beltloops, a personal sign to make sure that he was, in fact, still there and wouldn’t somehow drift away into the aether. frequently plagued with nightmares of past events that painted henri’s sordid history, the close proximity to jackson had provided a sort of comfort to him. eventually his eyes fluttered open and through sleepy gaze he looked up at jackson, whose fingertips had still been running through his hair. stretching slightly, he settled back down and turned his head inward until his nose became flush with jackson’s hip.

[ text: man with a hose ]: I wasn’t expecting this, but I am not complaining.

he didn’t deign to respond to the last text, though he couldn’t help the smile that tugged at his lips as he reached over and gave the stray dog scratches behind his ears. okay, so maybe it had become a bit of a problem. but, he couldn’t help it that he was bad with the approach. this was the first time since - a while - that henri had even shown any sort of attraction for a person. but rather than bucking up and being up front about it, he decided to beat around the bush and - continue bringing in stray animals. 

henri pulled up to the vets office with barely minutes to spare. scooping the dog into his arms, he jogged up to the door and slipped inside, taking a brief moment to look around and take in the empty waiting room. leave it to henri to wait until the office was nearly closed. “jack- i mean, dr. porter?” he called, walking up to the counter and signing in, a formality he was going to follow nonetheless. 

when jackson appeared from the back, he smiled sheepishly. “okay, i know this is like the fifth one in two weeks. but look at how cute he is.” he flashed his own puppy eyes as he held the dog up and snuggled his head.
