[ It was faint, through the firm chitin of his skin, but they could feel it. Feel it race as their hand slipped under his jacket, still hammering as he put his hands atop theirs. One on his chest, one against his cheek. ]
[And they do. Firmer than their previous attempts, though still uncertain. No, not uncertain, just...unpracticed. They know they want, in this moment, to be here, with him, in this bed, tucked up against him.
And they adjust so they're lying next to him, instead of sort of under him. Comfortable, their cheeks glowing warmly.]
[ There was only so much Bugsy could do to demonstrate how he wanted them- but specifics like that could wait for some other night. Right here and now, he just wanted them as they were, with what they were comfortable with. He curled up into them more firmly, his thumb idly tracing across their cheek. ]
'm lucky. Between you 'n Gil, I'm a very happy bedbug. I think I could get used to this.
Hard to forget. [That's fond, though.] Are you wearing underwear under the jeans? And how do you feel about pajama pants? I should go change, I can bring you something lightweight.
[That is so not a question Coda was expecting to ask today.]
[ Bugsy wriggled out of his jeans, folding them loosely to leave on the bedside table, then slipped into the PJ pants. Still a little short, they didn't really cover his angles, but he stuck a leg up to pose, allowing them to admire the colour on him. Silliness over, he cuddled up close again. ]
It's the rarity of colors happening at all that makes it work for me. People are so surprised that there's any color that they think it looks good on me.

[Well, at least they didn't say 'bug zapper'.]

Shit, maybe that's it, lemme-
[ He covered his eyes with his hands, paused for a moment, before reporting- ]
Nope, still think you're cute. 's not the light part.

Hey, what do you think about claiming this bed for a night?
no subject
[ Bugsy nuzzled in, one arm wrapping around their waist. ]
I can sleep in my clothes, 'f it makes you more comfortable.
no subject
You don't normally? Not pajamas or something?
[They don't pull away or anything, this is just to clarify their understanding.]
no subject
But not usually much else, either. With my hairs 'n shit it's just more comfortable. Beast, remember?

[ He released the arm around their middle, snuggling in to wait for them to retrieve the pants. ]
no subject
Try these on for me, so I can see?
no subject
Be honest. Is this the best thing I've worn?

[Coda curls up against him contentedly, a hand running down his thigh idly.]

Not all of us can make bright colours work like you can.
