two point five

It's rare for Asian men to have much facial hair; they usually sport a patch of awkward strands - a pathetic excuse for a moustache. I'm not a fan of the mo; it just makes them look sleazy, so I avoid my male friends during Movember because I never know whether to slap them or laugh at them. Ruggedness is attractive, but it has to be a manly, five-o'clock-shadow kind of rugged, not a lazy-to-shave-even-though-I-don't-have-much-hair kind of rugged. 

RD is clean-cut and nicely shaven on all of our dates, but I like catching him unshaven when I come over unannounced. R definitely stands for rugged. I also like his chiselled jawline and the tickling of his five-o'clock shadow on my cheek as he jokingly pulls my face against his while I try to push it away because he's telling me he hasn't showered. I also like how he sniffs the top of my head when we're waiting at traffic lights. Stupidly, my heart flutters a little when I recall these moments.
