Re: 430 probably

[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.

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

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

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

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

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.

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

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

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

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

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.

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

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

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

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

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

You could try not teasing me at all.

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

Now why would I do that?

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

For my peace of mind?

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

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

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

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

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

What a difficult task that you set yourself.

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

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

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

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

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

Mm.

[studying his face for a moment]

I believe I would like to kiss you again.

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

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

Do you need further invitation?

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

[just goes ahead and! kisses him!]

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

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

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

[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]

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

[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.

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

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

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

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?

Re: 430 probably

[rainshaveceased]

...I would not know.

Re: 430 probably

[temperedinpride]

I know. For it has been a long long time. Long enough I barely remember when any of us were last happy.
