[Oh. Ford's eyebrows draw up, and he lets Bill hold his face and wiggle his glasses.
Bill's lucky Ford's such a creature of habit. Ford likes to find things that work and stick with them for years and years. This glasses shape was inexpensive and felt appropriately academic, and he'll stick with it no matter what's in fashion.
He appreciates being told that Bill doesn't intend to stop him from changing. He also likes being told that Bill likes his face with these glasses. Ford appreciates nostalgia, and while the memories from Gravity Falls aren't exactly good, he's got enough distance now to get it.
It doesn't feel like flirting, it feels like Bill communicating wants and concerns. Bill's been particularly un-flirtatious this whole time, which Ford appreciates. It's been fairly easy, up until right now, to put the relationship they're on a break from out of his mind and just explore the moon with Bill. But the fact that Ford misses it strikes him in this moment like a lunar meteorite, impossible to ignore, at several hundred miles an hour. Bill's not doing anything wrong, but Ford's brain is going to become mush for a few seconds.]
