[ Never want to buddy up smh. Dokja laughs lightly, and yeah he's pushing his luck by settling his head on Joonghyuk's shoulder. Except, now he seems curious, the way he watches the other's reaction. He really did want to tease him, but it's... comforting. Especially after all that stress and uneasiness from last week. It's nice. ..Damnit. ]
Do you hate it?
[ With Jin free, she's wagging her tail and pushing herself beneath Niah's front paws so that she can wiggle in between them and cuddle against the fluff. Squish squish. ]
Yes because this strange feeling is out of my control.
[ He doesn't quite... Mind it, though it's very strange. He's more hyperaware because this is Kim Dokja rather than someone else. Frowning deeper, he freezes up when he feels a weight on his shoulder.
[ There's trauma when it comes to Yoo Joonghyuk not having control. Hmm, he lifts his head after that thought, giving an apologetic smile. He feels maybe just a bit bad about playing into it. Just a bit.
He spares a glance at the two daemons. Well, at least they seem content? ]
Because as a reader I'm aware of even the smallest details. [ I don't know Dokja, why that exact detail?? ] How else should I have said it? I was just thinking about our conversation yesterday.
[ At that he snorts. They both can agree on that. Kim Dokja? Flirting? ] ..Other small details?
[ His brow knits, still staring at their hands, and actually seems to be thinking about it. What could he even mention? There are some things he could say out loud, but not everything. ]
You're very blunt and harsh, but it's obvious you still care with how you look out for others. You've always been an actions over words kind of man. Your left eyebrow twitches right before you make a serious decision.
And you also have a habit of dragging the tip of your sword on the ground when you're happy.
[ As Dokja thinks, Joonghyuk finds himself resting his head on top of Dokja's, mostly relaxing. He doesn't quite realize because he's focused on hearing what else Dokja wants to say.
To be honest, he guesses Dokja will talk about his smug mug or something, but. Uh. He retracts and looks at him?????? ]
[ That comforting weight against his head probably just kept him spilling more than he intended. He's just, quietly looking off to the side away from Joonghyuk. ]
Just. Small things. [ Are they actually small though. Jin brings one of her paws to place over her own face as if embarrassed. Oof. ]
[ Joonghyuk is quiet and sees that Dokja is actually embarrassed. Which is strange. He has never seen Dokja embarrassed. Maybe shy and nervous, but not embarrassed? ]
... Does my left eyebrow really twitch?
[ Curious, but also giving Dokja a convenient exit out. ]
[ He's quiet, thinking for a moment. Wouldn't that just mean that Kim Dokja notices and no one else? Joonghyuk isn't sure what of make of it, aside from observation. They've done that, too, didn't they? ]
[ Admittedly, he's surprised by the sudden nuzzle, he sees it time to time from their daemons but... that's their daemons. To feel it from Joonghyuk himself. He can't help but tilt his head just a bit into it.
It is not a side he expects from his companion so he's a bit mesmerized to see it. It's strange. That must be why his heart races just a bit. Right? Right. help ]
[ He’s still close, at this point just leaning in to rest like this. Despite the comfort in physical contact, he does say this with a tone that indicates he wants to harm him. ]
You also smile a certain self-deprecating smile when you concoct plans.
[ Having tilted his head, being this close with their foreheads together really makes him think he's moments from being hit with a tone like that. Now his heart is racing in a different manner. scwary.]
And they [ the other members of the company ] told you that too?

Niah just rests his head on top of her. ]
I want to stab something more than anything.

If it'll make you feel better, you can stab me.
[ Hahaha just kidding. ..Unless? ]
no subject
Don't joke around, Kim Dokja.
no subject
[ May or may not sound genuine. He does lift their linked hands a bit to look at Joonghyuk's own. ]
...I could tell from the beginning you had regressed from your hands.
[ Trying not to make the situation more awkward but it's. Awkward. ]
no subject
[ Joonghyuk still have gloves because he's that kind of man, but we can pretend he isn't wearing them right now. ]
Trying to flirt?
no subject
How is that flirting? Why would I be flirting?
[ Squeezes his hand. ]
no subject
Why did you notice details about my hand? [ Joonghyuk thinks this is obvious— ] Why mention it? Or say it like that?
no subject
Because as a reader I'm aware of even the smallest details. [ I don't know Dokja, why that exact detail?? ] How else should I have said it? I was just thinking about our conversation yesterday.
no subject
[ They're still holding hands. ]
What about our conversation from yesterday.
[ WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GONNA SAY? Continue. ]
no subject
..N, nothing. That's it.
[ Anyways, doing what he does best, redirect the question!! ]
Do you think I'd actually flirt with you? I may as well be asking for you to kill me.
no subject
[ This is so weird and awkward. Joonghyuk is now thinking about the earlier statement. He frowns even more? ]
What other small details do you notice about me?
1/2

The company noticed small details about you, too.
no subject
..The kids definitely pointed some out to me. Han Sooyoung as well.
[ Carefully, a finger traces over his companion's hand, where he distantly remembers there being a scar before that is now no longer there. ]
no subject
He tries to not make it a big deal. ]
Did you know you often mutter to yourself?
no subject

I already knew that, but yes. They mentioned it aloud... When we talked about you.
