Ok, sorry for bursting into your askbox unannounced, but...I just saw a thing your retweeted and it sparked something in me: hair down Thatch. Hair down Thatch that lets you brush and comb his hair, your fingers going through his brown locks and massaging his scalp...slowly relaxing him, a content low hum coming from the depths of his chest. He's gonna flirt with you the whole time, his voice almost a whisper, but full of love and appreciation for you. you also wonder how it would be to get a good handful of his hair in uhm other situations >.> but all your hands wants to convey in that moment is how you also love and cherish and care for him.
Ok bye 🫠
Oh yeah, sitting on the edge of the bed and having him on the floor, leaned back between your legs, arms draped over your thighs, his back to you.
Maybe it's post-sex, maybe pre, maybe that hasn't even happened between you two yet, but he just got done showering and you offered to dry and brush his hair. Surprised at how soft it is without everything in it he uses to create that impressive pompadour, your fingers wander.
You can't see the flush of red on his face when he realizes its your fingers, but he relaxes quickly, that soft and pleased hum finally alerting you to what you're doing. You pull your hands back and apologize, but he's already asking you continue, assuring you it's okay, please he really likes it. You're welcome to play with his hair whenever you want.
And yeah, you get soft little praises the whole time, mixed in with "oh scratch a little more there." or "that feels nice", and those big hands start rubbing up and down your shins. It's warm, and feels good too, the occasional twitch in his fingers letting you know you're doing massaging his scalp.
At one point suddenly he's not quite as relaxed, nearly jumping up from where he had been, and putting the towel that had been on his head around his waist (he's wearing pants, so it seems weird), but he's very apologetic, and excuse him and he'll be right back and the massage was wonderful.
It might take a minute or two for you to realize he was getting turned on and needed to go handle that XD
YESYES YESY ESY ESYES \lol/
He's a huge ham, he loves to just flirt, and be cheesy and he's not afraid of being over the top at all, but it's all fluff really. He's just being a HAM.
He can keep his cool if a pretty guy or gal blushes because of him, that's his goal - cheer you up, make you blush, get you to stammer, that's the GOAL. But, when someone turns it on him he can get flustered.
Having back and forth with someone gets him back into a groove, but once it leaves *talking* and your fingers brush his, and it's a shy invitation to hold hands, and he's gotta be The Gentleman™ and hold your hand, but he's burning down to his neck and oh fuck if Izou comes around he's going to get called out he needs to calm down and play it cool.
Play it cool it's just flirting
but it's your voice he really loves hearing, it's your meal he puts a little extra into preparing, the feel of your fingers against his has his mind racing so fast the pompadour's going to start spinning.
And he has to ask, and do it right and PROPER and it's hard to know what's on his mind for the last few days, you're almost worried he's avoiding you. Until you're on night watch, or alone watching the sea off the back deck, and he clears his throat to get your attention.
He's flushed, and stammering, his pompadour's not really staying in place well, and he keeps brushing errant strands aside, and here's some flowers, and Okay-But-Will-You-Date-Him-Maybe?
