[ This is all so strange and Felix is going to have to stop watching Hallmark movies. Cookies and eggnog and decorations. Maybe Locus should chill and just try to make a bid at being normal. Like they do this every year. Like this is the sort of mundane life they lead. Or maybe it's weirder to pretend this is normal when it's not and they should find what is their normal.
Locus doesn't know how to do that though.
He moves closer, fitting himself between Felix's legs and looks at him briefly before turning around. He hesitates, thankfully he's facing away so it can't be seen, but eventually he carefully rests his arms against Felix's thighs. This is fine, right? Normal. Why he's thinking about it now when he wouldn't have if this was out in the field is stupid. He knows that. But he doesn't know how to not be conscious of it either.
Whatever. He's not going to think about it.
Which means he relaxes back as much as anyone can against a counter digging into their back. Locus' attention shifts to his hand curled slightly over Felix's knee. Slowly he rubs his thumb back and forth along where it bends, just above the cap. ]
I think I might get a haircut; a trim at least. Getting too long.
