the small silence that resonates between the two of them feels anything but awkward. instead, it warms chanhee's heart, peering up at the elder through thick lashes, enjoying the comfort of just being around him. his arms, although loosely, wind themselves around taehyung's neck, his smile now toned down into a slight smirk.
"i told you, i appreciate every form of art. i want to see them, tae. i'll show you some shoots of mine." the comfort chanhee feels from the simple interactions is warm, and pleasant. the calloused fingertips sends quick chill down his spine, an airy laugh following. "yes.. i am a model. but i want to do more than just that. i actually do sing, by the way. but i've never sang in front anyone. i think i could sing in front of you. i feel like we're going to be good friends for a while. so i think i can trust you." he nods after the other's final words, scoffing playfully. "mhm, we will see."

The minute the thudding of his heart against his temples quietens to something like white noise, Taehyung knows he's almost there. Recovered and back to reality. He chances a glance down at the male before him, stricken stupid by the blissful smile across his features. Completely and innocently unaware of the war that just arranged itself in the fox's own headspace.
"Wouldn't mind it. If you're okay with looking at scribble art," he offers with a smirk, his hands- still a bit clammy, now tracing odd patterns against Chanee's back. But at the other's revelation, he freezes, eyes transfixed in unbridled pride. "Famous schmamous! You're a ing model and that alone means something! I mean, you're adorable, so I'm not exactly surprised. How long have you done it?" Chanhee's terribly kind, that much is obvious, but Taehyung's also terribly glutinous. He murmurs something along the lines of "we'll just have to see" before letting the subject rest in the space between them.
chanhee pulls his head back just enough to gaze up at slightly taller male, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips at the sight of the very obvious calm that wash over the other, one of his hands now gently caressing the soft locks of the man who stood before him. "oh, do you? then... you should show me something you've painted someday." he continues to twirl around a few strands, his head tilted just slightly. "i model... i mean, i try to. i'm not exactly a famous model. by any means, actually. just a small gig here and there." he emits a soft string of chuckles upon hearing the next words that leave taehyung's mouth. "don't worry about all that. i've got you."

He's caught in the lump that resides in his throat. Deepening, a niggling swell he constricts against as the smaller male squeezes ever tighter. Taehyung shuts his eyes, counting backwards as he'd taught himself to will away the pain of a semi-fresh thrashing.
20... 19... 18.
"Funny you mention that, I actually dabble in painting," he insists, a sense of calm overwhelming him like it always does when he talks about his favorite thing. His hands skitter across the boy's waist, restless wanderers daring to traverse, unearth the familiarity of a new friend.
"Oh? You sure about that? My appetite's pretty- unforgiving."
@taehyung ᵃʳᶜᵗᶤᶜ ᶠᵒˣ your noticable flinch causes his own ears to perk up, wrapping his arms around a bit tighter, tilting his head to comfortably rest it against your shoulder.
i love art. in all forms. i believe cooking is an art, too. and yes.. i think i’m decent at cooking. you should come for dinner one night.
@chanhee ᶠᵉᶰᶰᵉᶜ ᶠᵒˣ // my ears twitch as they often do when I've found comfort, eyes slipping shut until the brush of your touch meets one of the mangled patches of vermillion beneath my shirt- barely withholding my flinch //
you like art? and yeah! the island is a nice touch. are you much of a cook, channie?
@taehyung ᵃʳᶜᵗᶤᶜ ᶠᵒˣ winds his arms around your neck to keep you close, nestling into your touch with a quiet purr of approval.
