Assure yourself it was being overwhelmed with affection. It felt ... warm. Not that it usually doesn't. And you did catch me by surprise.

[He reaches back at an awkward angle and tilts his head towards him.]

Come here.

[Also known as 'kiss me'.]

[ there's a soft smile at that and the words, and of course he adjusts so he can kiss him the moment he asks for it ]

[With that urge satisfied he will continue to relax and lean back against him. Fingers will draw idle patterns on the back of his hand and wrist.]

Thank you, Five Hargreeves.

[ he will just cuddle up against him and kiss the top of his head, humming at the words, perfectly content to just keep him in his arms ]

[He will stay there for many minutes, completely content. Forgetting all that lies ahead, all the obstacles, and just to feel Five with him.

How he wants to share these moment with him in Amaurot. In Five's world. He can almost imagine it coming true. A not so far fetched dream that will bring water to his eyes, but not enough to draw tears.

And after the minutes and the haze of it all --- such a glorious gift --- begins to fade, he will sit up turning so he can look at him quite fondly.]

[ It's incredibly nice to just enjoy each other's company like that. The plans and scheming have always been exciting, and he'd always thought it'd suit him more — after all, he's someone who needs to stay on the move.

But he's finding that it feels nice to take a break with emet. To just do nothing but bask in his presence, feel his warmth and simply stay with him. It brings him peace in a way he never imagined possible.

And when Emet moves and looks at him, he's confused for a moment, but then it clicks ]

—Has it passed?

It is fading.

[He cuddles up to him tucking his head under his chin still letting Five be the dominant spoon.]

But you always make everything seem within reach. I don't know how you do it.

[ thank u emet he's very determined to be the big spoon here. He'll pull him close at that and let out a little laugh at the comment ]

Well, I do have quite the experience at reaching for the impossible. After a while I guess it becomes second-nature.

... It suits you, you know. Happiness.

You do always chide yourself at only giving yourself a handful of days to stop the apocalypse, but truthfully considering the jump it's amazing you even got that close at all.

So yes, perhaps both reaching and achieving.

[He kisses his shoulder.]

Does it? I was quite surely back then. More common a scowl than a smile. I still am. You just waltz right through it.

I'll consider it another achievement, then.

[ he brings his hand to the back of emet's head, petting his hair ]

[He 'hrmphs' once for good measure. Someone probably should teach him ba-humbug for the holidays.

But he does squeeze him tighter trying to bask in his warmth.]

You best have not any other plans today. I'm keeping you right here for myself even if you do get bored.

Well, if I do get bored, then make sure to entertain me. I do still have a language to learn.

Though I find it difficult to imagine I would, when I have the most beautiful man I've ever had the pleasure to lay my eyes upon staying right here in my arms, and asking me to keep him company.

[ he manages to say it all with a straight face, and without blushing, but definitely expecting that to be a critical hit ]

[It absolutely is and he punches him in the shoulder weekly, hiding his face as if that would do anything for the blush.

So he retorts with the wittiest comeback.]

Shush. Don't think I won't embarrass you in front of Taisho.

[ he's so clearly satisfied with the reaction, and he smirks, smug as always ]

That wouldn't be wise, Shu would give you a monologue and nobody wants that.

Not if I scandalize him first with enough time to escape and never step foot back in.

[Grade A plan. Flawless. Without fault.

Though he does eventually lift his head to kiss him, deep and possessive. A small way of saying thanks for the complement earlier.]

[ Oh. That wasn't expected or the goal, but he's certainly not complaining. There's a pleased sigh against his lips, and his hand moves down his back, fingers tracing idly over it as he kisses him back with just as much heat.

He really can't get enough of him either ]

[He is smirking as gives his lips a quick peck after the kiss.

He ponders for a moment as he settles back down in his arms.]

You have Vanya's book memorized, don't you?

I do. Why the question?

Translate it for me in my own language. I'm too content basking in your presence to come up with a proper lesson plan so this serves well enough.

I'll answer any grammatical questions and will correct it.

[ he'd complain that that's not a beginner's task, but then again, he does like the challenge, and he'd feel insulted by anything else ]

You know, I'm attached to that book but it isn't exactly a fun tale to retell and translate.

Perhaps not as a whole.... but I digress, a poor choice on my part. I know not what else you have committed to memory.

So I suppose you will simply have to surprise me.

It's fine, I wanted to complain about the request and that was the easiest one to complain about.

[ he leans in to kiss him again, brief and soft ]

Vanya's book will be as good a choice as any. Just, you know. Awkward.

[He brings a hand up to his cheek brushing with the back of his knuckles.]

Or I could simply claim you, though your studies in logistics would be woefully lacking for the evening.

[ the sweet gesture is enough to make his heart melt, but of course the words spark his interest ]

We could combine the two. A reward for everything I get right.

One, you would get everything right to spite me, and don't think for a moment you wouldn't. Secondly, well I feel if I should reward you regardless for the soothing you have brought me.

[Running his thumb along his bottom lip.]

You won't have these sharp teeth and the ability to turn into a bat forever, thus I feel we should utilize them. And what do desire to use your limited gift for?
