light in the loafers

Algie blinked too, still holding Jeremiah's tie. He glanced down and seeing his feet off the ground turned a bit red in the face.

"It is but- This is just getting ridiculous.." His feet waved a moment, before he made a concerted effort to think and will himself to the floor. At least he was getting the willpower down. His feet settled again and Alg sighed.

"They always said I was a bit light in the loafers." Still pink faced but smirking.

"No you still have to fetch things off of shelves for me," Alg chuckled smugly. "A shame I'm not still boxing. All new meaning to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee-" RIP Mohamed Ali.

Alg finally uncrunched Jeremiah's tie from his hands, smoothing it again. He resumed tying it for the other man, giving him an eye when he tightened it, as if he possibly could throttle him, but just smirking as he smoothed and adjusted the collar again.

"I think I prefer my feet on the ground." He stepped forward again, tiptoed for real this time, and kissed the side of Jeremiah's jaw, "And this particular angle."

"Of course," he replied, looking amused. Even if Algie could float up off the floor, he would always get things down for him. "Otherwise, I think I'm out of a job." Jeremiah laughed a little at the boxing remark, giving the other another light pinch in his side.

Which meant he totally deserved the tightening of his tie. The other part of it was because he had a tendency to keep it just a little bit loose, not at all the perfect image of a proper gentleman. Sometimes it was just to make Algie have to straighten it all over again. An eyebrow was raised at the smirk before Jeremiah's stomach fluttered pleasantly at the kiss to the underside of his jaw.

An arm went around the other's waist, holding him. "I think I do too," he murmured, head tilted up just slightly. "... also that you might need to fix my tie again." Because he was a cheeky b*****d that had already loosened it with a mischievous glint.

It was a good thing Algie turned them before Jeremiah noticed that. Certainly a good way to ruin an evening.

He leaned back against bench, arm reaching along the back of it and fingers curling around Algie's shoulder. "Just make it up in other ways," he teased, eyes glinting, "but it's a present for you. I told you I was going to get you one."

When Algie opened up the box it was one of those new 3DS XL models in silver and black. A copy of the latest Professor Layton as well.

Jeremiah probably put more time into them than most even knew about. It was a thing and they were relaxing to play.

"I'm aware. You need to learn something new and I'm sure this will be good." He leaned and nudged Algie's face with his nose. "Besides, you can play with me." The silver-haired man just watched him for a moment, looking very amused the way Algie was handling this. "They're fairly sturdy so long as you don't just drop it and they've got a little stylus to go with the touchscreen."

He was reaching into the inner pocket of his jacket, his own pulled out. It might have been some kind of special edition (Jeremiah had a Zelda problem) and flipped open so that he could show him things as necessary.

Jeremiah was onto that thing he was doing with his glasses and would definitely be setting him up with an appointment.

"Oh, well ..." He was smiling. "You just do this and then ..." Jeremiah brought up the Mii screen so that Algie could start that entire process. "You can take a picture of yourself if you want to start with - I didn't, it's terrible - but you can just cycle through the features until you find ones that fit."

Except that Jeremiah's Mii most certainly did not look like him, at all, but that was perhaps a story for another time.

Or not.

"Oh, ah ..." Jeremiah chuckled a little bit. "Not at all like me?" His 3DS was slid over. If anything, it looked like Algie. "Mostly because there's this bit where people can get your Mii if you walk past them and they've got a 3DS as well. Didn't want people knowing it was me."

Noticing that look on Algie's face, he nudged him with a shoulder. "I've got an idea, gorgeous," he said softly. "Since I clearly need one that looks like me ... How about I make yours and you can make mine?"

something new

A kiss was pressed to Algie's temple. "Absolutely, I can do that." He pulled Algie's 3DS into his lap, settling it on his thigh while he fiddled with the selections.

The curling hand around his wrist had him pausing, looking towards the other a bit surprised - a little wide-eyed as well. A pleased smile appeared, small and perhaps a touch shy of all things, at the thank you. "You're welcome, precious. We can even stay in all weekend and play if you'd like."
