Oh since you insist... Why not all of the above? To do otherwise would mean denying my fondness for you—?!
[ Gogol won't even put on a convincing pretense of being scandalized, more of a lifting his hands to his mouth as he smiles with his eyes. It hasn't even been a day since the sudden reunion so of course he's still reeling. Simply being able to chat with Fyodor again has caused great elation and grief. Of course it would've been easier to pull that moment of broken restraint from him under those circumstances. What's important is he won't be caught getting stuck in his head again.
This development begs a very important question: does Fyodor realize it? The abject horror that is playing gay chicken with Gogol trying to unnerve Gogol in this way. He reaches out to frame his open palmed hands on either side of the man's face; he won't be touching him again so soon but he can frame a masterpiece. The way he'll quietly be questioning Fyodor's intentions will remain unmentioned. A small unsaid thing between them. Something seen by both. ]
I knew you always secretly loved the nickname thing, [ his lips really move alongside each sounding out of each syllable. ] Fedya.
