[He has no intention of letting go just yet; the sound it gets is a little unexpected but he doesn't move away. He's released Jaeger's hand to bring him closer, to actually hold him properly, though he's continuing to toy with Jaeger's hair with the other; he lets his fingers run through it lightly for a little while before trailing down to his neck, kneading into the skin there.]
[That gets another sound out of him, this one lighter but just as pleased. Jaeger leans into the touch, tipping his head just enough to get his bangs to fall into his face, but he flicks them away without looking too troubled by it this time. He's enjoying himself and he's not going to let his stupid haircut get in the way of that.]
[Ah, that... It gets a quietly amused noise in return, anyway, as he returns his hand to Jaeger's hair; it had taken some getting used to at first, surely, especially when it came to things like this, but...well.]
I'm sure that much is annoying, yes - I do like it, though. Just overall.
[His touch remains gentle as his fingers run through Jaeger's hair, and he'll nuzzle up against him again after a moment. He usually isn't one to be this intimate; just the same, it feels nice once in a while, and it seems worthwhile to do this sort of thing today.]
[Especially because Wesker's the one playing with it right now. This is really nice; Jaeger returns that nuzzling immediately, settling back into Wesker's touch easily. He gets riled up quickly, but he's just as quick to settle and now is certainly no exception to that. He really does enjoy things like this, and he doesn't want it to end any time soon especially because Wesker usually doesn't initiate contact like this.]
[Contact is still kind of a weird thing, as Wesker goes; it always has been, in fairness. Today it isn't troubling him, though; there's still an uncertain awkwardness behind his actions, the general sense that he isn't altogether sure what he's doing, but he doesn't seem inclined to let go or pull away anytime soon, either - he just...settles a bit, and he'll relax properly eventually, and though the hair-playing slows a little bit when he does it doesn't stop, either.]
[...I mean he's not altogether sure what the fuck to do with that and it shows, but it's not like it wouldn't be blatantly weird for you to do this with anyone else?]
[Jaeger's always been a social person who absolutely enjoys parties and this one's no exception. It's not like New Years' is one of his favorite holidays, but he hasn't had a reason to celebrate it in quite some time and now that he does... well, he's definitely enjoying himself at this party.
He'd be enjoying himself even more if someone would dance with him, but Wesker's proven to be a pain in the ass about it, because of course he has. Jaeger's danced with quite a few people before he returns to Wesker's side.]
[There are two things about this setup that are making Wesker slightly prickly; it's not that he's not interested in being here, but at the same time this is
1. a fair amount of socialization, and he's an incredibly socially awkward person, and 2. something that involves dancing, which is an archaic form of torture, he's pretty sure.
But he's here anyway, because Jaeger wants to be here and also because he wants to jog his memory with regards to recognizing their host for the evening (that person from Jaeger's world, who is...unfairly nice-looking, in Wesker's opinion, but surely that is neither here nor there), and...god, he's now here for dancing, why - ]
Rather sure, yes.
[He tips his head a bit in the direction of the dance floor, though.]
You seem to be having a good enough time, either way.
