“You think I’m wonderful?” he says, one hand pressed against his chest in mock affection. “That’s so sweet.”
“I never said you were wonderful.”
Aaron tilts his head. “Then what, exactly, did you say?”
Kenji turns away. Says nothing.
I’m grinning at Kenji’s back when I say, “He said you looked good in everything and that you were good at everything.”
Aaron’s smile deepens.
...
But he’s not looking at me, he’s looking at Kenji, his eyes full of laughter
when he says, “Please tell me she’s not serious.”
Kenji flips us both off.
Aaron laughs. And then, leaning in—
“You really think I look good in everything?”
“Shut up, asshole.”
