Work Text:
Joel was working on his base, talking about Etho...as always.
As Joel was talking about etho he heard a giggle in the background, the brunette was startled to hear someone but he walked towards where he heard the noise, could it have been the glow squid? He thought.
Joel decided to shrug it off for now, Joel turned around to see Etho, hovering over him
"OH uh hey- Eefo" Joel said, he had hoped that etho didn't hear anything Joel was saying.
"Hello Joel! I heard you were talking about me huh? Always talking about me" etho said with a small giggle, Joel was sure etho was blushing bit that was probably him hallucinating or something.
"Nooooo I would never talk about you, you're the one that talks about me" Joel said with a huff turning his back on etho and crossing his arms.
Etho stepped closer to Joel, startling the small brunette
"What are you doing" Joel asked, his face getting red
"What I can't get close to you without you getting flustered?" Etho teased
"I am not getting flustered" Joel huffed
"Are you sure?" Etho said getting even closer to Joel's face
"UH yes I'm sure Eefo can you back up" Joel asked, facing Etho, their faces almost touching, Joel had to slightly look up to fully face etho.
"What if I kissed you" Etho asked, his smirk showing through the mask
"Hah! You wouldn't do that not even to prove a poi-" Joels words were cut off by Etho who had pulled his mask down and kissed him on the lips, Joel melted into the kiss, slightly kissing back, he must admit wtho was an extraordinary kisser, etho pulled away after a couple seconds, leaving both of them flustered.
"I uh don't know why I did that I'm sorry, but from the looks of it I think you liked it" Etho said scratching the back of his head and picking up his mask
"UM NO I didn't, no uh well maybe a little but this just proves that you're obsessed with me" Joel said, a devilish smile forming on his face
"I'll kiss you again" Etho said crossing his arms
"Yes please" Joel said with puppy dog eyes.
