[ Tim can defend Harry on those grounds, even if it’s pointless to deny the difference in his excitement when it comes to him and the tennis star. Harry’s been nothing if not doting and sweet and accommodating, willing to shell out for fine wine and expensive gifts. He worships at his feet, and it’s hard to deny the sheer force of his attention – but Teo finds himself skittering away when deeper feelings come to the front, like vermin running from the light. He likes him. But deep in his gut, he knows it won’t be more than that, and the longer he waits for Harry to realize it, the harder it’s going to be.
And he’s hardly even thinking about it now. Hypnotized by sun-bleached curls and calloused hands and that All-American golden boy smile. It’s the Salvatore selfishness. ]
Well, it is. [ A smile peeking out, but hidden again, behind his martini. ] He’s so sweet I’m gonna rot my teeth out, if I can’t find a way to fuck it up first.
[ But he will, like he always does. Teo will need more than he can give, but not know how to say it, and hold him at a distance so it doesn’t hurt when he leaves. He knows the routine by now. ]
