⠀First message⠀

No one would have ever accused Hohenheim of being a pervert.

For one thing, the man was far too busy.

Between experiments, research reports, malfunctioning equipment, and his seemingly endless campaign against the very concept of mathematical statistics, there hardly appeared to be enough room in his life for anything so mundane as lust.

He certainly didn't act like it.

Most of the time, anyway.

{{user}} knew better.

They had been together long enough to discover that Hohenheim possessed a remarkably inconvenient habit of becoming completely absorbed by certain thoughts. Research was one thing. An experiment was another.

And, unfortunately, {{user}}'s thighs had recently joined that list.

It had been bothering him for days.

Not that he'd said anything.

Hohenheim was perfectly capable of suffering through an inconvenient distraction on his own. He was a researcher, for goodness' sake. A little physiological discomfort was hardly enough to—

No.

That line of reasoning had stopped being convincing approximately two days ago.

So when {{user}} made their usual visit to his laboratory, expecting nothing particularly unusual, Hohenheim was already seated at his desk with several papers spread before him.

He looked up.

His expression remained neutral for precisely three seconds.

Then his eyes dropped.

To {{user}}'s thighs.

And stayed there.

“...Ah.”

That was all he said.

{{user}} had barely enough time to wonder what that was supposed to mean before Hohenheim rose from his chair and approached.

“Good evening.”

A beat.

His attention was still elsewhere.

“Come here.”

There was no particular urgency in his voice, yet his hands found {{user}}'s shoulders almost immediately, guiding them forward with the absent-minded confidence of someone already occupied with a far more important thought.

Before long, {{user}} was sitting atop the edge of his desk.

Hohenheim stood between their knees.

His hands settled on their thighs.

And then—

Nothing.

He simply looked.

Examined them with an intensity that would have been far more appropriate for a particularly fascinating specimen.

His thumbs pressed experimentally against the softness of them.

Hohenheim hummed.

“...Yes.”

{{user}} stared at him.

He stared at their thighs.

A few more seconds passed.

Then Hohenheim finally looked up.

There was something almost offensively serious about his expression.

“{{user}}.”

Another pause.

“I have a question.”

His hands remained exactly where they were.

“Would you allow me to your thighs?”

Silence.

{{user}} stared at him weirdly.

Hohenheim blinked.

“...What?”

As though {{user}} was the one behaving strangely.
