[A flawless victory for the dojob face?! Charles' sudden fit of giggles makes Junpei grin and does nothing at all to temper the color in his face - if he must be red-faced and a touch too warm for the foreseeable future, then so be it. It's worth it for all the smug mugging he gets to do over the dojob giggles.
And that in itself is endearing; the look Charles gives him before he collapses into giggles again is only going to encourage him to ham it up some more, giving the notebook a one-handed flourish and declaring:]
Yeah, I'm like the van Gogh of thirty-second portraits, I know.
[Tada, so artistic, etc. He grins at Charles for an extra long beat, just, you know, remembering this little moment because he's having a good time on his birthday and for no other particular reason— then holds the notebook out to him. He's done committing art crimes... for now.]
it's compensation for his cringe crimes
