[ One thing is for certain here, Broca cannot accuse this man of being too subtle with his intentions at this point. The surprise nature of the kiss had immediately set him on the defensive, and while there wasn't much more in the way of a preamble to this overly friendly move, the downward creep of the hand had at least allowed him time to prepare himself.
He can absolutely fault Matoba for being joltingly forward and smug about this whole affair in a way that sets Broca's teeth on edge though. Broca has always enjoyed the company of people who are ruthlessly blunt, like his friend Aosta, or disarmingly open, like his friend Chiave. The type that will tell you exactly what they're thinking at all times, which doesn't seem to be Matoba's M.O. given how much he's been acting without warning.
Though the fact that Matoba's doing a lot of small nudging and coaxing to get the reactions he wants out of Broca remain unnoticed, so he's not getting stamped with a schemer label just yet.
Maybe for the best, because Broca might not be as ready and willing to shift in Matoba's touch if he had. There will still be an irritated snort of dissatisfaction at the comment implying Broca might be the type to come too soon. The vocalized irritation does nothing to disguise the fact that with a hand now on him it was clear that the kiss had, in fact, had some notable effect on Broca.
The fingers wrapped around the back of Matoba's neck loosen as Broca murmurs back a response to that question. ]
Not a fan of being interrupted.
[ Leaving the real question unanswered as his hand slides up Matoba's neck so he can tangle his fingers in the hair at Matoba's nape as he drags him back into a harsher, bruising kiss. ]
