+
“Sometimes I wish you wouldn’t kiss him like that.” Elizabeth frowns a little at his reflection in the mirror, at his wide eyes and his expression of guilt.
“I…” Neal bites his lip, brushes a hand through his hair. “I’m sorry.” It’s weird seeing him like that, so unusually timid. Like that little unexpected thought of hers has thrown him so much that all his masks and artificial personas just turned to glass. “I can leave, if you want me too,” he says, sounding reluctant and looking it, too. “I never meant to come between the two of you.”
Elizabeth shakes her head, a small sad smile on her lips and her eyes solemn. “I’m not saying you should go, Neal.” And she isn’t. She isn’t saying that. It’s not like she doesn’t know that he doesn’t mean harm to her relationship with her husband. Not like she doesn’t realize how much Neal needs this and how much she herself enjoys holding him and kissing him, making him lose himself in their touch, making the glass masks shatter and exposing the true Neal underneath.
She meets his eyes in the mirror and says, again, “Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish you wouldn’t kiss him like that.”

The title is shamelessly stolen from the lovely (if still not finished, I think) series Glass Mask by Suzue Miuchi, and the Live Action Drama it spawned a few years back.
