Jesper manages to get a laugh out of Kell with unapologetic awareness of his own hotness. Because he is, objectively, one of the most handsome men Kell has ever met. The confidence plays no small part of it, but only a part. It's truly a small miracle how effortlessly Jesper is able to lift Kell's mood and his mind from the desolate darkness it usually resides in.
He smiles when Jesper takes his hand. Small gestures of genuine affection always catch him unaware, he's so unused to them. So used to the opposite. The smile fades, and Kell bites his lip as he responds. A tick Jesper might already recognize as a sure fire way of telling Kell is in distress, but doesn't want to show it.
"Jayce is gone," he states quietly. "I don't think I want to talk about it. It just ... hurts." He never lost a friend before. Mainly because he never had a friend before. Kell smiles again, but it doesn't reach his eyes this time.
"But we were supposed to go on a date. Have fun. You didn't come to listen to me whine."
objectively hot, them's the facts, i don't make the rules
