[looking back at him, expression uncertain but happy. he feels like he should say something, but can find no words so he's just remaining quiet as well]

[Well! Good. Really it is hard to think of words. He traces Elidibus's cheek under his eye with his thumb, back and forth a moment before letting his thumb brush over cheek and jaw.]

I love you. So very much.

[running his fingers through lahabrea's hair, again and again]

I... did not think I could feel so happy.

Now, that just gives me a goal to ensure that you ever find new ways to experience happiness.

[He grins, pressing his palm to the small of Elidibus's back to pull him closer.]

And to encourage you in finding and demanding the things you want.

[presses closer to him with a faint huff of a laugh]

Did I not already mention quite a few things I want?

Quite a list, yet then again, hardly much of one. I think you can add to it, though you have plenty of time to ponder what to append.

For now, at least, I have nothing to add. I am perfectly satisfied.

Then I suppose I should not tease you too much just in the moment, if only to let you enjoy it.

You could try not teasing me at all.

Now why would I do that?

For my peace of mind?

And yet, I'm sure somehow you will manage even without such consideration.

Perhaps I will have to learn to tease you back instead...

What a difficult task that you set yourself.

Why not one more, after all the others I have taken on today?

Well, I am never one to curb someone's ambitions.

Mm.

[studying his face for a moment]

I believe I would like to kiss you again.

[He brushes Elidibus's bangs back with his fingertips.]

Do you need further invitation?

[just goes ahead and! kisses him!]

[He smiles, keeping his palm at the back of Elidibus's head to return the kiss softly!]

[though the kiss is still light and careful, there's a little more intent behind it this time - like maybe he's getting used to it a bit]

[He's in no rush to escalate anything. Just kiss is good, considering how important Elidibus is to him it is especially nice to enjoy every stage.

He rubs his thumb over the back of Elidibus's neck, smiling as he takes in that expression.]

You do look content. How remarkable.

Is it? Surely there is nothing strange about enjoying the company of someone I love.

Not at all strange. But still remarkable.

[He kisses Elidibus's forehead softly.]

When is the last time I have seen you look even a little happy I wonder?

...I would not know.
