[Of all the things Dorian had been expecting, this was the furthest from all of them. There was a wild part of him that hoped perhaps Shiro's curse of awkwardness had been broken, and that he might have Dorian here on the table. Then, there was the more obvious idea of him doing push-ups. Still awkward, but it might be nice to watch those muscles work.]

[At least he got some of that gun-show with this. It was quite a sight to behold, man clutching beast in such a way. The mage prided himself on his upper-body strength, but even he wasn't this strong.]

[Dorian had half of a mind to ask if he was using his arm, and if so, if that would be considered cheating. But the arm seemed to be an off-limits topic, and it was far too easy for the man to all-but swoon over his companion.]

I don't suppose your ability extends to lifting beautiful mages, mmm? I do wonder how it might feel to be held by those arms.
