Carlos huffed slightly. “I think my opinion matters quite a bit,” he responded. “I’m a
scientist, Hancock – we’re known for being pretty smart.” He set down his bowl
of broth and wrapped his arms around Hancock, hugging him tightly. “You’re a
good thing, Hancock, I promise,” he said, his tone a little more serious. “If
you weren’t here, I probably wouldn’t be here either. Nor would a lot of people be.”That got a laugh out of the ghoul, he hadn’t expected that kind of sass from the other man, but he had to admit, he liked it. As Carlos went on, Hancock went quiet again, a small smile still on his lips as the other hugged him and he leaned into him slightly, giving a small nod. “Alright.” He murmured softly, looking over and tilting his chin up to press a kiss to his cheek. “You’re too good to me, sunshine. I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“Neither I, you,” Carlos returned gently. He leaned into Hancock and nuzzled a bit into his neck at the kiss. He was being real here… he had absolutely no idea where he’d be if he hadn’t met Hancock. Definitely not in a good place. He was actually able to think about Christmas and birthday presents of all things! It was… it was just incredible and he was so lucky.
