A chuckle rumbled low in his chest at the noise she made, but when she held him in place he stopped rubbing his chin against her and just rested his head on her shoulder instead.
“Exactly the look I was going for,” he said, closing his eyes and just letting himself enjoy the closeness for a moment. It had been far too long since he’d had any friendly contact let alone been this close to anyone and he wanted to soak up every moment of it.
The beard was a cover, but he hadn’t done so much as trim it for weeks. He figured nobody would give a second look to some scruffy guy who looked like he’d just rolled out of the ditch, or at least that was what he’d told himself. It was partially true, but there was also the element of having enough other stuff to worry about and having no interest in taking care of his appearance. Thankfully Natasha wouldn’t let him get away with that for much longer.
“Alright, alright. I guess since you’re the one who’s gonna have to look at it then you can fix it if you have to,” he replied, trying to sound completely put upon but not quite managing it. He would let her shave him clean if she wanted to.
