You got something worse in mind? Would love to hear it.
[More dry commentary from Scott, but maybe arguing about the specifics of what's worse to wake up to isn't something to really continue. Not as the other man teases him for his poor flirtation attempt, the laugh perhaps unexpectedly driving a slight embarrassed flush rather than any actual anger. It probably helps that Wriothesley's warm hand is around the back of his neck and distracting him, the simple close contact enough to pull a light shudder out of him as he looks at the other man that's only inches away from him.]
Yeah, a pleasure.
[He's genuinely missed being close to another person. He's not really used to being alone. Scott's focus turns to the other man's mouth, and he can find his own parting even though a small voice in the back of his mind is telling him that he's trash--
But Wriothesley suddenly lets go, and he pulls back a little, his mouth closing as he tries to clear his voice and get his feelings back under control. Scott isn't sure what to do with the fact that he feels disappointed, but the moment's gone though, right?]

We should start investigating.
