[He just hums against his lips. That would be a 'yes' to his question.]

You could tell me to figure it out myself, you know.

As if you would ever let me live it down if I answered that way. You would be smug about embarrassing me, wouldn't you?

...

My ear. I enjoy your lips near it, and your touch on my chest. It's pleasant when you have your hands on my ass too. I've enjoyed your mouth, obviously.

Do I have to go on?

I would, but you would take the same approach. You would embarrass me as much.

[He kisses behind his ear.]

No. It was not meant to make you feel uncomfortable, but to give me an idea. Be at ease. I simply want to make this as pleasurable as possible.

[He lets the tips of his wings brush Five's lower shins softly as they are still made of mostly crystal and masks as he unbuttons his shirt.]

I hate when you call me out.

[ he doesn't actually hate it. And he can't bring himself to, not really, when Emet is already listening and kissing behind his ear. ]

But you are off to a good start.

[Once he has his shirt open he puts his elbows in the sand on either side of Five's head and props his chin up in his hands...

... and just stares at him fondly.]

[ that is honestly just as embarrassing as being asked what he finds pleasurable. But it is nice to see Emet look at him like that. To see exactly how much he loves him.

His face turns red again, and he brings his hand over to his chest, fingers tracing down to where his scar is once more, with the same care and gentleness as earlier ]

... Tell me you love me.

I love you.

[He places a hand over Five's own.]

I love your more than I thought capable outside of my people. Though in truth I see you as one of them.

And never once have you faltered. You keep my hearts in yours and always listen even when I am being foolish or stubborn.

You've carved yourself quite the spot in my heart, and I will cherish it until the end of my days.

[ He's the one feeling like crying now - overwhelmed with emotion and not sure how to express it all. But he does smile at him ]

You know what I love the most, about being with you? We've grown together. Since the moment we met.

To know I had such an influence on you, and that you've given me more than I ever thought possible, well ... it does feel good.

We have, haven't we?

[He kisses his forehead.]

I haven't grown in ... well, it has been a long time. Even with each step closer to every Rejoining I would watch them. Lahabrea. Elidibus. Step by step I would lose them. We hardly grew. Miserable as we were. As we still are in some ways.

But now I have you. I have Lahabrea with his fire back. While I will take credit for most of that, you did your part. I never thought someone not one of our own would be able to influence him as you and Vergil do.

So thank you, Five Hargreeves. This is one of the many reasons why I do love and cherish you.

[ he seems pretty pleased with that speech, and he just wraps both arms around him, keeping him close and not wanting to let go. ]

Well. It is because the two of you have been receptive to it. But still, I will always be glad to have been able to help you.

[He kisses his neck as doing anything else would break the embrace.]

We were not always. Truthfully, you know the exact moment I let you into my heart.

[ he tilts his head at that, inviting him easily, and his hands move to brush his fingers against his wings, gentle and careful ]

Oh, I will never forget the moment you laughed at me after my heartfelt declaration of acceptance of your friendship. I was quite offended by it, I should let you know.

[Threading fingers in his hair as he softly kisses down his neck.]

I did feel ever so slightly embarrassed at the time. You were trying your best with such a thoughtful gift. But I suppose now the awkwardness of it makes the memory fonder.

Hah. Even more so because I was going to annoy you as a method of stress relief. In the end I suppose I did bother you for a different set of reasons.

[He does flex his wings a little keeping them in range.]

I don't think you can hurt them without intended effort.

Still. I can be gentle with you regardless of the likelihood you'd get hurt, you know.

[ there's a little smile as he says that, and he does seem interested by the wings, keeping his hands on them like he's trying to study them ]
