listen. wrio gets legit cuteness aggression from lyney sometimes. because HOW can a grown man (maybe barely, but for sure an adult) like lyney be THIS ADORABLE?!? with his bright smile just slightly flawed by a gap between his front teeth, giving him a playful and almost childish look. with his expressive, melodic voice and a matching laugh to emphasize the silly things he says and the silly faces he makes sometimes. the way he interacts with children and animals. the way he takes any reason or excuse he can get to perform a little magic or sleight of hand, even if it's just idly shuffling cards in his hands when he's bored. the way he curls up in seats or blankets, the expression he wears when he's engrossed in a book, the curls of his hair before he straightens them and puts every lock in its place, the face he makes when he puts on make-up or carefully rids his jaw of stubble. the longer wriothesley knows him and the more he GETS to know him, the more things he finds about lyney that make his heart go all goopy. lyney has a way of burrowing in people's hearts and making a home there, and wriothesley, though stubborn and initially resistant, is not immune 🥹
