...Wait.

[ Gladio leaves the limb in his lap, eyeing Genji as he struggles to sit up enough to look at him. Struggles even more with his response. ]

So you mean to tell me you've been avoiding me because you thought you hurt my feelings?

[ His tone is vaguely incredulous, amused. Just how old do you think he is, Genji? ]

[flowlikewater]

[ That causes Genji's brows to shoot up considerably. ] No, it isn't that—

[ He rubs between his eyes and sighs. ] I thought you didn't remember what had happened between us. So I felt that if we... continued that night on the balcony I would be taking advantage of you.

[ Genji looks back to him, managing to look a little sheepish. ] I value your friendship, Gladio. I wouldn't want to harm it.

[leatherdaddy]

[ Hoooh, is that how it is. Gladio relaxes a little more, enough to continue that teasing tone of his, as if nothing's changed. ]

You've literally entrusted your body to me, I'm pretty sure I knew how highly you regard our friendship.

[ Gladio leans in and presses the detached arm against the socket in his shoulder, his other hand bracing high up on his thigh for leverage. ]

...Thanks for being considerate, but I'm not a kid... old man.

[ Gladio smirks over him, adding a flicker of a wink before he pulls back and suggests: ]

Try it now. Can you lift it any higher?

[flowlikewater]

[ Something about that makes as brief dusting of pink go across his cheekbones and he huffs, rubbing under his nose. ] I suppose so.

[ Although, goodness, the warm hand on his thigh. Thankfully the sudden rush of his nerves activating again is enough to distract him from that. He sees that wink and playfully rolls his eyes, but smiles back. ] I know you're not. I just tend to... overthink things.

[ He rolls his shoulder then lifts it up, managing to raise it above his head without any whirring or clicking. Genji beams. ] Wonderful! Thank you very much. I'll have to repay you.
