"Hmm... Honestly, mostly my label mate is a clown and we-- There was something, I don't know. Made sense at the time." Ed wasn't too concerned with that, even if he realised that calling his label mate a clown might come across as odd to Jonathan, until he would eventually learn that he wasn't being insulting here, just factious. He looked at Jonathan more than at the screen, focused on his reaction and his words, especially since he felt his face heat up a little. "You are too kind, Jonny, you're making me blush."
"Like an actual clown or what? You know what, never mind. I wanna be surprised." Jonathan watched the next video quietly, just taking in Edward singing and performing, taking in how beautiful he was and how elegant all of his clothing choices were. He was such a dapper boy. Man. Whatever. It was weird to think of himself as an adult, let alone Edward.
It was hard to take his eyes off the screen and he found himself quiet, despite his awareness that Edward was likely watching and waiting for feedback. He just couldn't help it. Fuck, Edward was hot.
Ed knew he had to be patient. While he didn't know Jonathan long yet, he had been observing him closely during that time and he knew he wasn't always all that vocal, quite introspective, not easy to read. Maybe he'd find him easier to understand when he knew him better, but right now it was a struggle. He had to be patient, he reminded himself again, only to realise that about two seconds had passed since he last told himself that. Damn it.
"...I'm trash, right?" Ah, patience. Not his virtue.
"Yeah, you're just fucking awful. You should quit." Jonathan said it very seriously before turning to Edward and grinning at him. What? It was funny. Edward was clearly not good at waiting for people to praise him and his anxiety was obvious by the crazy amount of fidgeting that was going on while he watched. Turning back to the video, he basked in the fun of not telling Edward anything as he finished the next video before finally, finally, giving him what he wanted.
"You change your genre a lot. I like that. Good vocals, stupidly handsome face. What else you wanna hear? You got hot friends too... I like the fish tanks." There, positive feedback.
"You are a sadist!" Maybe the fact that he somehow said that accusatory while also sounding delighted was also a sign of Edward's range. Either way, he grinned happily and leaned forward to kiss Jonathan's cheek. "I loved the fish tanks. Help me keep a cool head."
Unlike what he was apparently experiencing around Jonathan. Ah, who wanted to keep all that cool anyway? "I like variety, I like taking any opportunity that appeals, I want to try everything. It gets boring and boredom, who has time for that? You know what I mean, don't you? Oh, Jon, I'm going to help you be alive."
"It's not often that you get derided for being a sadist alongside an odd mix of utter delight. Oh Edward, your masochist is showing." Smirking with amusement, he tried to ignore how the kiss left his cheek burning, how alive he felt and how his heart was just racing like fucking crazy. He loved this, he loved sinning - hell was fucking worth it? Why did everyone always tell him sinning was bad? Someone really should have told him how good it felt.
"You like being center stage, you're always the focal point. You're the star. I like that a lot to. See, me? I ain't no star, don't wanna be. I just like the music. Don't let me be bored, just let me be with you and we'll have a good thing, okay?" Cause he wasn't looking for upstage Edward or even try, he just wanted to be excited.
"Single spotlight. But I'll share it with you sometimes, do you have any idea what register I could reach when I feel your giant cock against my ass?" So, he was mostly joking here, definitely deliberately being crude, but of course he loved what Jonathan was saying. "Be with me. Stay with me. I want you."
He said it very seriously while looking right into his eyes, his heart was beating fast. Life was beautiful and so was Jonathan.
"You're filthy, Edward. A dark, dirty sinner. Apparently that's the sort of thing I'm into. Tempting deal and I'm in. I'll do it." He smiled at Edward and then leaned forward, boldly kissing him on the lips. Why? He had no fucking idea but he felt the urge and he went with it. Whatever. Like he cared any more. "Seal it with a kiss."
Good excuse for one, at least. He looked at Edward before turning back to his videos, focusing on that and not letting himself get worked up any further. He had to play it cool, he didn't want to show his hand too soon.
