Warnings/Notes| Will add if necessary

Sleepy declarations of affection are all well and good, but in the harsh light of day they seem a whole lot less solid. Trey had been on the brink of unconsciousness when Sam declared himself ready to put an end to the tension between them, so now the Mentor isn't really sure what conclusion they arrived on, if they had indeed arrived at all. Personally, he is pretty sure they're still en route.

Which is why he's knocking on Jolie's door, looking his usual scruffy self because if she can't take him for what he is there isn't much point to this in the first place.

The moment Sam says talk, Trey's heart already skips a beat. He feels the need to chide himself for working himself up into excitement so fast, but he can't help being an expressive person and it all shows on his face.

"Look at you! Having ideas, taking initiative! That's cute." He reaches out, poking the end of Samuel's nose just to add to his condescension. He curses and blesses the inches between them, because it makes it harder not to just reach up and steal a kiss without bothering with the talk.

Instead, he opts to take Samuel's hand with a small, almost sheepish smile. "I'm all yours."

Now who's being cute?

Sam can't help it, when Trey takes his hand he starts grinning like a complete idiot and he's not even sorry about it. The man can just be so damn adorable sometimes when he wants to be.

"Yeah, that was... kind of what I was gonna ask you. Are you?"

It's still Sam. It's definitely Sam. Only he's being cute and weirdly disconcerting at the same time. It's almost dizzying to Trey, the way he manages to freak him out and calm him down at the same time.

He draws in a breath when Samuel poses the question, perhaps a little too sharply. He cocks his head, like he's not sure if he quite heard it, furrowing his brows up at him.

"Are you serious right now?" Ah yes, the answer everyone wants to hear. "You mean.. like?" He can feel himself getting distracted from the point here, but he can't help fluffing up a little before he relents with a sigh. "Yes." He says finally, voice soft.
