God, don't let Pierce cut it. You'll end up with a buzz.
[ nick is overly indulgent with the contact, probably. he flattens the palm of his hand out against oliver's cheek just to feel the warmth on his skin, rakes his fingers idly through the hair at the back of his neck just to feel it running through his hand. knocks their knees together, bumps his heel into oliver's, just tiny touch after tiny touch like a bird preening a partner. it just soothes some of his frayed edges, and it's not in oliver's nature to grumble about it to him too much, so nick has his fill.
the headache is light work, but nick takes the time to explore the edges of oliver while he's in it. nothing too invasive or dramatic, just small tension knots being unwound, a frayed hangnail mended, the groggy heaviness lightened just a fraction. a light polishing more than a deep clean, all of it not more than a minute or two, and then he's sitting back. nick is reluctant to take his hands back but he does it anyway, shifting back to settle into his own seat and smiling at oliver. ]
No, it's cute. You're cute. God, what is this place, right? Like don't get me wrong, I love the included breakfast vibe, but it's still a whole thing.
