[ Truth be told, Tseng likes Zack too. Probably too much. Every time they are together, he ends up regretting every smile, every laugh, each of them won far too easily. While Tseng is fond of humility as a concept, it is not good for his professional life to be routinely shown, again and again, that he is nothing more than just a regular man, just as susceptible to charm and beauty as all the rest of them. It's just not a good look for a Turk.
Like this. Tseng knows a thing or two about keeping covert—more than most, honestly. But again, the atmosphere is far too easy here. The prospect of having Sephiroth in his shitty flat was so terrifying, but in reality, it's comfortable. Too comfortable. And that is where mistakes are made.
Tseng doesn't think much of what he is doing until it is too late. He's been stealing glances without reproach this whole time, after all. And then Sephiroth bows his head and then snaps it right back up again, and there it is, he's caught red-handed. And a little shocked on top of that, because of all the people in this world, the last person he'd expect to do something so mischievous and clever and honestly sort of cute is General Sephiroth.
He ought to double down. Cast himself in stone, just like he does at work, and become as impassive as a steel wall. The problem is that he is intrigued. And the last thing he wants to do is back down in front of someone so fierce, so beautiful.
He locks eyes with him instead, brazen and daring. One simply does not get into his line of work without a taste for dangerous games. ]
