Work Text:
It had started to irritate Nicolò that Yusuf sometimes poked him with the finger, and one morning, it just became too much for Nicolò.
Nicolò: “Please stop doing that.”
Yusuf: “Give me one good reason.”
Nicolò: “Because it is irritating.”
Yusuf: “That’s not a good enough reason to make me stop, and you’re missing the point of why I’m doing it.”
Nicolò: “Why are you doing it?”
Yusuf: “It’s my way of telling you that I love you when we’re amongst people, and I can’t say it out loud.”
Nicolò: “You’re an incurable romantic, Yusuf!”
Yusuf: "I know, Habibi."
From that day, whenever Yusuf poked Nicolo’s cheek, Nicolò gave Yusuf a smile in return that said: “I love you too.”
