It wasn’t a mistruth, no, but he didn’t try to correct him, or say anything else to it. He’d have to work on his compliments, the way he tried to talk to him about the way he saw things. Or for in general, really. Being the only one getting sweet things spoken to him was a little awkward, but maybe it wasn’t to Joseph.
Promise? The thought took him off guard and for a moment, his eyes went just a little wider, though he wasn’t quite looking up at the other man’s face anymore.
“I’m sorry..” In way of apology, he leaned forward and kissed the skin just above where that button had been before he made himself pull those pants away after the zipper was fully down. Away and down, leaving him just as exposed as Rhys was. Well, more so seeing as those pants still clung to his thighs for the most part. He’d heard his brothers talk about what their girlfriends did in this same position, but was he able to? Instead, to calm himself, he moved to place a kiss against the hollow of his hip instead, letting his tongue dip low.
