"It wasn't that, although brotherly sounds really creepy in this context," he said, chuckling. "It was more the guy part. I'm used to much softer bodies, with much more pleasant and patient personalities. Did I mention the lack of beard?"
Tommy nodded. "I know, and I'm not exactly asking you to go steady here. I meant, you know with the cover and all, we're officially a couple. I didn't mean that we are-" He stopped and snorted. "How is it that we're so smooth with women and can't complete a sentence without stuttering like idiots when we talk to each other?"
He let go of Oliver's neck, but he kept a hand on Oliver's knee. "You're doing fine as a friend, but Ollie this isn't about whether I want this, but whether we want this, and whatever answer is fine, but we need to know, because despite what you said, I think this cover has the possibility to hurt us, if we forget that it's just one big game of pretend, and it's... it's easy with you, because we already do so much together, but as I said, it's about what we want, both of us."
