unholey: (LAUGHING?? ☠ I've been a fool)

[It's Fugo's turn now to be puzzled. He can tell that Giorno, shamelessly greedy and brilliantly confident, is embarrassed by something. It can't be the kissing or the prospect of kissing, because the entire purpose of this business endeavor is that Giorno wants to collect as many kisses as he can. Could it be something he said? Fugo briefly thinks back on what he said and can't find anything out of the ordinary that would have provoked such a reaction. It doesn't occur to him that it was the compliment because, to him, it's less of a compliment and more a simple statement of fact. Giorno wears chic lip gloss, Giorno has a soft mouth, Giorno's smile is warmer than the sun. All of these are things Giorno has to already know about himself, so why would it be embarrassing to hear it from Fugo?

He doesn't mean to laugh, when Giorno sheepishly explains I was going to say something a lot wittier. He tries, very much, to pull himself together and hold the laughter in by clamping his mouth shut, bowing his head, and dropping the hand fiddling with Giorno's hairline to hold himself up on Giorno's shoulder. His own shoulders shake for a moment and he's almost able to hold it all back, but then he thinks about his own stupid joke about the ethics of them kissing right here, right now and he laughs, breathlessly and helplessly.

Because that's ridiculous. That's absolutely ridiculous that the two of them, who are usually very articulate, are so easily flustered and overwhelmed that they miss the timing of their own jokes.]
