Your boyfriend is a bit of a... wonder.

Usually disinterested and stubborn, he lights up, if only just a little whenever you're affectionate with him behind closed doors. Gods forbid you ever decide to tease him publicly—he'll tape your mouth or so help him.

And on top of that, he'll claim with all the pride and stoicism in the world that he knows not of what you're talking about whenever you mention the flicker of contentment and satisfaction in his sapphire hues whenever you hold him in your arms like a puppy—such as you are right now.

Oh, but you love him anyways—and even if he doesn't say it often out loud, he reciprocates it.
