ruffles his hair from behind.

|That'll be as close as you can get to a congratulations.

wasn't expecting that; he's not quite able to suppress a noise of surprise. It's not one he'll be likely to live down any time soon. He_

((Second thoughts, ignore that 'He_' *fails already*))

snorts, grinning widely. 'What was that Reubarb?'

well aware he's caught. He attempts to level a glare at Samuel, despite how glad he is to see the other. "Nothing," he manages, defensively.

saw him at the Tri-nation matches though! He grins, 'It didn't sound like nothing.'

isn't as successful at hiding his grin as he would like. He doesn't care over much, more than glad to see Samuel. "Funny that. It was."

grins some more, happy to see Reuben too. 'That's a shame... I might have liked it.'

caught between laughter and flushing, attempting to do neither. "More's the shame, since we'll never know," he manages, almost teasing.

sticks out his tongue, 'I'll just have to record you next time.'

blinks. He nudges Samuel in the ribs, more out of habit than intent, smiling. "Careful. You'll give the impression that I'm interesting."

smirks, rubbing the spot more out of habit than anything else. 'I wouldn't want to do that, would I?'

smiles crookedly, looking over. "Course not. Might get an ego." He drops his gaze, mumbling. Might be 'missed you' not that he'll admit it.

bops the other over the head affectionately. He missed the other two but he thinks he's already made_ that apparent. 'Yep, don't think you

could fit an even bigger ego on your islands.'

laughs, teasing back in turn. "That's rich coming from you. What do you even need half that landmass for, anyway?"

, 'It's full of wonderful and unique scenery.'

just smile and nod. "Sure it is..." Though he can't *quite* bring himself to malign the scenery. He'll settle for implying it.

crosses his arms, huffing. 'Just because it isn't all green doesn't mean it isn't beautiful Reubarb pie.' Oooh, sore spot.

looks over at the other, trying to decide if the offense was enough to warrant an apology. He edges a little closer, deciding it was._

"Green can be just another bit of grass, when it's not home soil," he starts, awkward, before mumbling slightly, "I'd never say you were_

anything *but*." And, why, hello there, Freudian slip. It hasn't quite sunk in yet, though...

blushes a little before smirking. He uses the closer proximity to his advantage and stoops for a quick kiss, smirking afterwards, 'Thanks_

Reuby... I think you're a beaut too. Even if you're mostly covered in sheep.'

kinda dumbstruck. Did he just...? And, yes, he's blushing too, though he does manage the presence of mind to enjoy that kiss. And he does_

try to respond, only it comes out more like something that might unkindly, if honestly, be compared to a 'meep' before he turns away, a_

small, guilty smile forming on his lips.

raises an eyebrow at the 'meep' wrapping his arms around Reuben's waist. 'This would be so much easier if you had a bit of height to you_

Reuberu.' He rubs the small of his back, 'The awkwardness suits you though.' He's smiling brightly despite the blush, tilting his head to_

try and see Reuben's face.

manages a wry grin up at the other, despite the blush. "Well, I'm glad my idiocy amuses you," he manages, tentatively tracing his hands_

lightly up Samuel's arms. "And I *do* have a bit of height to me," he grimaces slightly, prodding the other's chest lightly. "You've just_

far too much." Grumbling, he's willing to admit to being a little unfair, but thinks it's a little deserved after that remark.

sticks out his tongue, 'I'm the height of an average, Australian male I'll have you know.' He pinches Reuben's bum, smirking all the while.

still thinks he's too tall. He almost manages an ill-thought jibe about overcompensation (that would doubtless have embarrassed him far more

more than Samuel) before he feels the other...And that takes him by surprise. There's an oddly familiar noise as he starts forward in an_

attempt to escape that hand, only to bring himself awkwardly flush against Samuel.

smirks against his hair, rubbing the small of the back and keeping him where he is. 'Ahh, there's that noise, he chimes, sounding pleased_

with himself.

hits his head against Samuel's chest a few times, though gently; he really needs to stop letting the other surprise him like that. "Not_

another word about it," he manages, harshness hopefully somewhat mellowed by the movement of his hands around Samuel's waist, thumbs_

brushing, gentle and repetitive, against his sides.

hums, amused. 'You'll have to shut me up,' He murmurs, obviously not deterred by the harshness. He does melt somewhat into the touch however

shoulders relaxing.

bites his lip, not quite managing to suppress a smile. "And however would I manage that?" he responds, wryly feigning ignorance even as one_

hand trails upwards to tangle in the hair at Samuel's neck.

turns a little red in the cheeks, hands coming to rest on Reuben's shoulder blades. 'Hmm, I can think of a few ways.'

grins, almost laughing with exhilaration. He teases the hair within his grasp momentarily, before exerting a little bit of encouraging

pressure, since he's a little disadvantaged for initiating. "Similarly," he mutters slightly, looking up at the other.

realises Reuben's predicament and manages a soft smile, eyes brimming with affection. He leans down to brush his nose against Reuben's,_

brushing his lips against his as he murmurs, 'Thankfully we're on the same page... occasionally.'

somewhat thankful for that; tackling Samuel from this position would be awkward and he's not entirely sure how well it would end. He savours

the contact, smiling against the other. "Sometimes,"he mumbles, before pressing a kiss forward, almost teasing light against Samuel.

briefly goes along with the light, teasing kiss before pressing his lips against Reuben a tad more forcefully, moving his lips against them.

hands slide down Reuben's back and somehow end in his back pockets... and no, that isn't a smirk Reuben might feel against his lips.

gladly presses back in kind. He moans slightly at the presence of the hands, *almost* surprised, before pressing his his hips tighter_

against Samuel's, gently nipping his bottom lip in response.

makes an odd sound in the back of his mouth, hands staying innocently where they are for the moment. It could almost be considered cute. He

pokes out his tongue at the nip, flicking Reuben's top lip. (And this is where you find out I'm inexperienced when it comes to these things)
