[It's-- rare to see Marc smile. He's always so-- intense. And maybe just dealing with their current circumstances. Sometimes Steven feels a bit guilty. He was-- his purpose was protecting Marc, yeah? Even if he was bloody awful at it. Now he can't really let Marc hide away in their head when he needs it, not when they're both like this, separate.
But Marc is still being so nice to him. Thoughtful. It almost brings a tear to his eye, but he blinks it away before he makes a right fool of himself. It'll just make Marc feel awkward and Steven won't be able to even explain it exactly. Although he can't do much for the nervous fluttering in his stomach or the fact that-- he isn't sure how to do. This. He's not charming like Marc can be. He's awkward and he babbles too much and...
Okay. Okay. He can try at least.
He takes a step towards Marc and summons every bit of nerve he has to lean in and press a quick, chaste kiss to his cheek before he's pulling away to sit down just as quickly. It's just-- a quiet show of appreciation, yeah? Nothing weird about it.
Okay, maybe a little weird, when they're technically the same person. But their whole lives are weird and Steven is slowly getting adjusted to that.]
It smells wonderful too.
[Oh, his mouth is almost watering, just a tiny bit. He hadn't realized how hungry he was.]
