( the look is - disconcerting, to say the least. jon squints at him and leans in, and damian returns the favor, squinting back even if he's avoiding leaning in if only to prevent them from butting heads.
( finger to his mouth, he straight up shushes his friend, yes. quiet again, he cants his head some, completely focused and serious, then smiles a little as he drops his finger away. )
Heh. Ok, got it. ( to clarify: ) Your heartbeat. I was memorizing it.
( his heart beats just a little faster, but it's hardly noticeable. enough for someone to pick up if they were listening for it, definitely not enough for anyone who isn't accustomed to hearing them to catch onto.
even if his mouth is twisting into a scowl at the same time - more an effort to cover how flustered he gets for a moment. )
( ugh. he'd complain about jon grabbing onto him, but it's whatever. instead, damian looks to the hand patting his shoulder, then turns his attention back to jonathan himself, meeting the boy's eyes. )
And I yours. Even if you are coating me in cheeto-dust.
( oops! well. too late now?? but he gets himself up with a heh and dusts his cheeto dusty fingers on the backs of his legs before he’s hopping his way over to grab the rest of his snacks. )
Come on then. Let’s put a movie on or something. Might as well finish off these snacks, right?
( grinning back to the other boy because… yep. that’s what they’re doing to do down here. )
