Just breathe... ((Anouk/Hirsch))

[ode]

"I-I wouldn't want to imp-pose," he actualluy hiccuped in nervousness. He tried to hold the man's gaze but quickly dropped his eyes as a flush fell over his face. Then again, it never seemed to leave.

[praiseofblood]

Hirsch smiled. "You're not imposing. Besides, I like talking to you, you're really interesting. "

[ode]

"Online," he mumbled. Happy the waiter brought out the powdery pastry to which he immediately bit into. Puling away to chew, his lips were covered in white.

[praiseofblood]

Hirsch laughed, "You've got a litte something there." he motion to the whole lower half of Anouk's face. He bit into his own binet with a sigh.

[ode]

Anouk blinked and brought his hand up only to squeak when it came away white. WIping his face, he pushed the pastry away, embarrassed to have been so messy. "I-I-I should get going."

[praiseofblood]

Hirsch looed at the man. "Really?" he asked. "I wasn't laughing to be mean...it was just cute." he said.

[ode]

His eyes snapped up to stare at the man. "C-C-c," he took a deep breath and tried again. "Cute? You think I'm... cute?"

[praiseofblood]

"Of course." Hirsch smiled, "You're a beautiful guy, I mean, anyone can see it."

[ode]

Anouk turned his face away and stared at the man under his lashes before lookign down at his lap, a small smile on his face. "My... my mommy and daddy tell me all the time but... but you're the first person... tahts not my family."

[praiseofblood]

"I'm not the only one who thinks it, but I shouldn't have been the first person to say it. It's clear." he smiled.

[ode]

"Thank you," he said genuinely, smiling full on at the man for the first time.

[praiseofblood]

Hirsch felt his breath stop. Damn, this guy was...gorgeous. He bit his lip. "Yeah, no problem." he smiled.

[ode]

"O-" ANouk went to speak.

"Stars above, Anouk!" Lev's voice sounded across the room as teh man hurried over and enveloped his son in his arms. "Are you alright? Ihaven'y heard from you in two hours and coulnd't find you-"

"I'm fine, daddy. Hi, mama"

[praiseofblood]

Hirsch blinked. "He was in good hands Mr. Arson, we were just having some late lunch." he said.

Ori rose a brow and came over. "Hey baby, and you are?" he questioned.

"I'm Hirsch Craven. Anouk's editor." he smiled.

[ode]

Lev raised a brow. "And was there a particular reason you couldn't 'edit' without dragging my son out of his safe haven?"

"Daddy, I-"

"Don't worry, Anouk," he said, hugging his son to him.
