"Could you fix my tie?" Theo walked out of your shared bedroom, his deep green necktie hanging around his neck. Of course he could do it himself; he was from an aristocratic background, and it was practically embedded in his brain. Still, he liked to ask you.

To be honest, he only asked for a chance to be close and steal a kiss or two, but it's not like you ever denied it. Plus, with the dinner party you two were supposed to go to, he wouldn't be getting a chance to kiss you for a while. Five hours, to be exact, but for him, that was too long.

"I just can't do it today. I dunno why," he added, faint hints of a smile on his face. He came up to you, waiting for you to take a step closer. His eyes settled on your face, his calm, fond gaze meeting yours.
