[He hums, like, would it be so bad. Certain people on this blanket would be interested in mathematical flirting, although not necessarily with that particular formula. Still, it's the principle of the thing. Dimly he recalls the dream with their other selves' shameless 'hands on methodology' flirting, and it's mercifully been long enough that he can recall it with a sort of distant fondness and not so much of the dread.
So like, it would be fine, probably. Maybe the people will flirt better with math. He chuckles and squeezes Viktor close against his side, threading fingers into his hair when he slumps onto his shoulder.]
I know, I'm very rebellious. [dry, because pff. Maybe he's done some transgressive things in his time, but please. Then he falls quiet, turning over Viktor's last comment in idle silence. It's not— he has to resist, to stop himself from belaboring at length the point, out of habit, that it's not a matter of being deserving or undeserving. He remembers that from the dream, too, and Viktor's murmured insistence in midnight quiet that that feeling of inadequacy wasn't true on the outside.
So give him a second to battle his inner sap, before he changes tack to,] Just keep doing what you've been doing all along; I'm smitten.
