[He releases with him from the emotional feedback, the feel of him around him, how alluring he is, the unmistakable color of his soul. To think he once said he wasn't head over heels physically attracted to him.
When he gets his wits back, he pets him --- his hair, his back, whatever he can reach. Small, soft touches in contrast with earlier. He pulls him as tight as he can against him trying to hold him physically as he is his soul.
Normally tears would concern him, but he knows these are needed especially after the recent memories. And it pains him that he had to spend all those years alone and he wants nothing more than to soothe and protect him.]
You are a wonder, Five Hargreeves. A small part to do with your abilities, but far more for the man that you are. You kindness, your wit, your stubbornness, you arrogance, all of it. Thoroughly and completely have you captured my heart with your presence.
[ He's right, the tears are needed right now, and he doesn't think he's ever fully let go like this before. So he lets himself have this, lets himself cry without reserves, and though there's a small laugh at the words, he keeps crying. It takes him a bit before he can even say anything back, and throughout it all he never lets him go, or make any attempts to move off of him ]
If I were still keeping count this would definitely be your victory.
It wouldn't be challenging if I didn't win some of the time.
[He smiles bringing some lightness to the conversation. But he holds him the entire time, draping him in a soft fleece blanket, petting him, letting him feel just how much he loves him.
And from time to time he will dry his tears with the back of his fingers.]
You are not alone any longer. I am here, and ever will a part of me always be with you.
[ It takes him a bit, but eventually the tears do stop, and he just rests against him, place soft kisses on his lips and cheeks - affectionate and loving ]
You're right, I'm not. And along with you I also have something to look forward to.
A future with my found family here. A future with my regular, messed up family. And an eternity to share with you.
Truthfully, it sounds ideal. Your plans for the future.
[He kisses his cheek as well, one hand finding his, as he wishes them clean and in comfortable silk pajamas with soft bedding around them. He stays propped up sitting with Five against him. He plans to watch him sleep after all.]
And a garden of course.
[A crown of flowers will appear on Five's full of fragrance and none of the prickly stems that would make it uncomfortable to sleep in.]
[ It's a nice touch, and between that and Emet's presence beside him, he lets himself feel at peace at least for now. He knows the memory will stay with him for a while, but knowing that he's no longer alone, that he has a future to look forward to and someone who loves him so dearly, makes things seem so much easier to deal with. ]
Thank you. For the flowers, the lovely dream, your company. And for loving me.
How easily I could say the same words back to you. And where would I be without the protector of my own heart?
I know it will never truly fade. This feeling you have bubbling in your chest. I dearly wish I could erase it for you.
But you will endure. And with those that love you at your side it will get easier, the burden shared.
[He continues to brush his hair and relaxes his death grip on is soul to less piercing and more surrounding. And he is relieved Five finally got a good cry in because has he been needing that for a while.]
[ He definitely has. And though it's not the first time he shed tears, it does feel like the first time he's ever truly let himself do that without feeling weak and vulnerable afterwards. He wonders if maybe it's being with Emet that makes it easier to listen to his feelings, but right now he certainly feels better.
He rests against him, humming at the words and letting his eyes fall shut. ]
Good. Because I will be at your immediate disposal akin to a lost puppy for at least the next three days. And after that perhaps more like a lounging cat. I'll let Lahabrea know of the arrangements, and I imagine he might join from time to time.
[He kisses the top of his head again, giving him a squeeze.]
[ he will let himself drift to proper sleep, and in the dream as well as in reality, he will just stay close to him, not letting him go the entire time ]

Rest, my love. I will be here when you wake.

No, you're not getting out of that. But I am tired so, another time.
Re: Day 336
In that I did succeed. You can be mischievous when you find yourself with more energy.
