[ He hadn't been snooping, really. He'd just been trying to clean up some things; he could see his accumulating mess, and he'd wanted to do something about it. Not that Alex Shepherd didn't snoop, and more than occasionally, just that this isn't the reason he manages to stumble across one of Henry's secrets. It takes him a bit to register what he's looking at, and then he's all grins, unable to help himself as he shuts the drawer and walks into the kitchen with the pack of cards in hand. He stops in the doorway, raising a brow as he holds up his find, a tiny grin already curling his mouth despite his best efforts. ]
And what's this, Mr. Townshend? Got something to share?

It's your heart. [beat.] Is that weird?
[Oh god it is weird isn't it.]

As long as you're not going to try removing it anytime soon, it's perfectly fine. Relax.
[ And leaning over to give him a quick kiss for extra reassurance, because he knows how Henry overthinks. ]
no subject
...after staring a few seconds too long Henry will finally blink and nod slowly.]
O-Okay.
no subject
But Alex knows that look, which gets him blushing out of embarrassment, so he's going to draw his card before it gets any more awkward. ]
... huh. Okay.
[ Alex is going to just. Set the card down. And then gets his hands on Henry's shoulders to kiss the hell out of him, teeth and tongue and all. ]
no subject
[Luckily for Alex, Henry's mouth opened when he felt the hands fall on his shoulders. Making a softer, less surprised noise he remembers to breathe through his nose before kissing back, a hand going to cup the back of Alex's head.
Hello.]
no subject
After about a minute, he pulls back, nipping at Henry's mouth one last time and smirking as he does so. He holds up the card for Henry to see - Kiss your partner for one minute. ]
no subject
Teaaase.
He finally glances at the card, a soft oh falling from his lips.]
That was... yeah.
no subject
He laughs at the response, moving to put the cards with the others they've drawn and discarded. ] Eloquent, Townshend. Guess I should be flattered.
no subject
Picking up his next cad dodododo.]
What was your first impression of your partner...?
My first impression... Well. I guess, I just thought it was strange.
[Henry's clearly only sharing a partial thought. Oops.]
no subject
... and then eyebrow raise at that, because Henry, you're fragmenting your thoughts again. ]
Thought what was strange?
no subject
That you'd have such pretty eyes.
[He hadn't expected it. Sure, he'd seen Alex's profile but then he'd bumped into him, gotten to see him up close. Gotten to see the harsher features, the hard line of his chin and then there had been the eyes...
Dual-colored and so pretty.]
no subject
[ Not something Alex expects to hear about him, of all people. He's not offended, just... surprised, really. That Henry could apply that word to him. ]
no subject
[Henry's hand takes one of Alex's, thumb running over the knuckles.
He can't explain, doesn't know if he's capable of it.]
no subject
[ Alex is quiet for a bit as he mulls that over, enjoys the feeling to Henry's hand in his, the motion of his thumb. Then he's tugging Henry's hand up, pressing a kiss to his knuckles, a smile curling his mouth when he drops their hands back down. ]
I'd pretend to be offended at your surprise, but considering I'm surprised that you can describe anything on me as pretty, that'd be a bit hard. [ A laugh. ]
