"Maes…?"
"Yeah?"
"…Kiss me…?"
The older boy turned with a grin to his friend, his expression the picture of mischief. "Oh? And what do I get out of it?"
He could see through those dark eyes that Roy wanted to say something cocky like, "You get to kiss me." Which was technically a valid response, but Maes wouldn't let him off that easy and Roy knew better by now, so instead he thought of something else to offer.
"I'll let you show me your new pictures of your puppy…"
"You mean it?"
Roy nodded and Maes just watched him, making sure he wasn't lying.
Who was he kidding? Even if he was, Maes still would have pressed the younger boy to the couch and kissed him breathless.
