First three in my inbox get kisses 1/3
Carlos didn’t usually just go around kissing folks. But he was at least safe in the knowledge that Percival wouldn’t just punch him outright. Maybe.
Carlos gently touched the man’s arm to get his attention, and while Percival was turned toward him Carlos got up on his toes a bit and pressed a gentle – just a touch of the lips – kiss to the Director’s mouth.
Percival deflated slightly. “If you want to.” He said quietly. “Although I don’t think i’ll be forgetting it anytime soon, sorry to say.” He had a hint of teasing in his smile.
“And, you really. Have no need to apologize.”
Carlos forced a smile. “What, you planning on
teasing me about it later?” he asked, giving a small laugh.Great – this was how he was going to die.
“No. I was going to think about it later, and imagine what happens if you were to kiss me again.” Percival said flatly.

a little hoarse. “Do you… do you actually like
me… or something?” he asked.
