"Quite the show you put on today."

Eobard's teasing tone has you groaning. After the little act, you were a bit embarrassed to show your face in the cortex for a while.

"I'm flattered."

He still sounds like he's teasing you, and you turn with a pout. He's standing in the doorway of the room, and the look he wears is anything but teasing. It's loving.

"I never thought I would find myself craving the attention you shower me with, the looks, words that follow in everything you do. It feels as if I'm in another universe." Oh the irony of those words.

"I know that I've done nothing to earn all that you offer, so even if I fail to say it, I am grateful."

Never in your life had you thought he'd say something like that.

"Thank you."

You aren't sure if you can get the words out, so you just nod.

"I'll leave you to it then."

He turns to make his exit, and you rush over. You're now standing in front of him, and Eobard is ready to question you, but you just lean in and kiss him. He's always eager, and you know more than anything, he craves this sense of humanity he thought he's lost,or as you've just discovered, doesn't believe he deserves.

You press him into the wall, and he lets out a soft grunt, but it doesn't deter him. He's still returning your kisses earnestly. Your hand slips into his blond hair. The other trails down his chest. Most of your interactions have been led by Eobard. This is the first time you've initiated it, and you feel a bit foolish for not taking every opportunity to claim him, mark him. Eobard is the one who pulls back, breathing heavily. Your eyes flicker to his, and he presses his forehead to yours.

"What..was that for?" He asks, still clearly winded.

You're a bit abashed.

"I just felt like I needed to touch you."

It's an innocent statement. He's learned that from you, most things are. But he is a man. You should know what such honest words did to him.

"Alright then." He's smiling again, and now so are you.

"Just don't arrest me." He laughs at the darkening of your cheeks.

"Damn you Eobard.."
