Even Kieran had to admit that it was a bit sad just how much his body visibly relaxed once DeVito relented and gave him back his precious personal space. But a lifetime of shutting people out had made contact as benign as handshakes were already dangerously close to pushing it in his books, which made such a display of familiarity incredibly unsettling for him. Still though, when it came down to it there wasn’t a single Regulator that Kieran would trust with his back as completely as DeVito, so an occasional bit of discomfort was an awfully small price to pay.

Her request though caught him a bit off guard. This wasn’t the first time they had posed as couples, but not once had the werewolf ever considered how miserable he must have seemed to be her significant other. And truth be told, he had no idea what that was supposed to look like, given his rather laughable romantic history.

[color=slategray]”I’ll, uh… do my… best…”[/color] he half stammered, half coughed, suddenly finding the ground remarkably more interesting than anything else in the world. Meanwhile, his hand had made itself busy by scratching the back of his head a bit more vigorously than was absolutely necessary as he tried to work out how a happy boyfriend ought to act.

It went without saying that smiling would be a good first step, right? The corner of his mouth developed an odd twitch as he tried in vain to adhere to that whole “turn that frown upside down” drivel that he often got. The result was an odd amalgamation of his usual frown on one side of his mouth and a miserable effort at a smile on the other. Sadly, this was probably one of his most successful attempts, as he had at least gotten it half right.

The shaky expression collapsed upon itself as Kieran let out a sigh of defeat, once more the dour potions master of the group. [color=slategray]”We should get a move on,”[/color] he muttered, more than happy to try and pretend that the last few painful seconds had not occurred at all.
