Cecil's face lit up as Klaus went to pin a rose to his jacket. His heart was pounding in his chest. Intense. When Klaus was done, he let out a very affected "aww", cupping the base of the rose and raising it to his nose to sniff. It was lovely, and he felt very soft and giddy about receiving a favor from his love. He wanted to shower Klaus in kisses. How did he adore this man so much? "No, no, this is wonderful. I love it. Thank you. Aw."
Some people might've been turned off at someone describing themselves as a 'spoiled brat', but not Cecil. Klaus was smug about this, and it was really, really cute. "Is that so? I'd love to invite you to a more private party. We don't really have a lot of room here considering..." Cecil tilted his head to the sharks with cameras outside. Celebrity parties were never about partying, anyway.
Cecil leaned forward as Klaus inspected his face, looking like he was about to kiss him, but then stopping at the last second. "I don't think that's shady at all. Nothing wrong with a little age difference. I've dated older. You're a hot old man, a real silver fox." He snorted. God. Gold eyelashes fluttering. Ridiculous, and just a little too adorable. He poked his nose.
"Aside from a few bad experiences, I did like my stay there. The beaches were wonderful and the people were something else." To put it mildly. "Maybe I'll visit you there sometime. I definitely deserve a few vacation hours. Who knows?"
Nerea was clean? Damn, so she really was just that beautiful and talented. Klaus confirmed it though: He had powers, just like him. He wanted to press further. He wanted to know about him, talk about his own powers no matter how grotesque they were, and chat about the place, in general. Six years was a long time to be gone.
He didn't get what he wished when Chris called out his name from behind. He jumped in place, moving away from Klaus, and stared at the approaching person. He felt like water was just splashed in his face, and all the warmth and affection he felt earlier washed away in favor of fear and overwhelming irritation.
Damn it. Goddamn it.
"What are you doing?" Chris said, squinting at the both of them.
His heartbeat was loud for entirely different reasons. Cecil raised an eyebrow at him, sporting a rather disgusted face. "Talking to Nerea's son. What the hell did you think I was doing?"
Chris' suspicions was gone in a beat and he replied with a chipper, "Oh, ok! The director wants you and Nerea to chat up the movie outside, though. There's a manager guy, I think, from Nestle or Pepsi or whatevs, and he said he'd be willing to get the cast additional money if you can convince him to sponsor us. Look, I don't know the details, just that if it goes well, I'd be seeing both of your faces everywhere. Gag."
Cecil nodded along and stood up. "Right, right. Uh." He turned to Klaus. "Sorry about that. Klaus, this is Chris, one of my co-actors in the movie. Chris, Klaus Rosales. I'll..."
He knocked his fist in the air nervously, trying to think of something to say. Wait for me. I'll come back to you later. I don't want to be apart, but I have to. He went with: "I'll talk to you later, I hope?"
He didn't dare ask Klaus to wait for him. Couldn't. Did he deserve patience? This could go on all night. He didn't want to ask Klaus to wait up for him, but he didn't know when he'd get to talk to him again. If he'd get to talk to him again. Manta Carlos was a very far place.
He gave Klaus one last glance, almost pleading, before heading outside. He didn't realize it was this cold out here.
He missed him already.
