[He finds Emet's free hand to lace their fingers, leaning against him once more. ]

I will not. You would hardly allow it.

I hope you, too, know how much I love and treasure you my friend. I would not be whole without you. But even were that not the case, you have ever been my constant and gentle friend, someone whom I can ever count on, whose happiness and sorrows I would share in equally.

[He squeezes his fingers and laughs before just pulling him into his lap.]

Can I get a little bit of a blush? You are so terribly hard to embarrass.

[He huffs, moving as he's pulled. That does get his cheeks pink, and a hand pressed over Emet's face lightly.]

You should respect your elders, not tease them.

[He just laughs around his hand.]

You speak if I can't do both, Most Honorable Lahabrea.

[He looks so affronted, leaving his hand there.]

I am not too old to take you across my knee.

[He tilts his had back a little.]

As if I would allow it.

You wouldn't deny me.

I absolutely would, old man.

So you claim. But I imagine I could make any request of you and be indulged.

[He's so arrogant and smug and not sorry about it.]

Does Vergil indulge you so? Bend to your whim.

[He tries to push his hand away.]

You'll find I'm harder to manipulate.

[He does let his hand be moved, but only o lean in and kiss Emet-Selch's forehead, both a tender gesture and slightly condescending on purpose.]

Should I call this your rebellious phase?

[He frowns in exaggeration. Probably what he wanted as he closes his eyes for a moment.]

Do you want me to call you Daddy as well?

Please never suggest that again.

Then I believe I win this round.

[A very Five thing to say as he kisses his forehead.]

You did say anything.

I will concede only this one!

[Between exaggerated grumpiness and fond exasperation but good job scandalizing him.]

[He pets his back as he is still on his lap and letting the back of his fingers run across his cheek.]

Still sure you want to write me a letter.

Oh yes, this is what will sway me.

[He catches his hand and kisses his palm in gentle contrast to the sarcasm and rolled eyes.]

[That does get his cheeks to color as he pulls his hand back giving him the same exasperated expression with no bite.]

I could try harder, but I'm more curious as to what you will pen. Will you start now or did you simply want to encourage me to write poetry.

I had intended to, but I've grown quite comfortable.

[To be a shitty cat he even drapes his arms on Emet's shoulders and gets more settled on his lap. ]

I'm not in your way now am I?

Not at all, but I've dropped and lost scissors in this couch earlier. Do be careful of that surprise.

[He will maneuver around him to pick up a few pictures, mostly those stemming from the Hargreeves donut gathering.]

And I'm putting you to work. You have to select which one of these you like.

[He hums and plucks them from Emet's fingers, looking them over. Is he easy to distract with work? Or "work". Yes. He knows he is. He's still letting himself be diverted.

He holds out a few, with the best shots of sibling faces or people looking like maybe they're enjoying themselves.]

These.

[He separates them into the selected pile neatly stacking them. He then hands him some stationary.]

I do have a written request of a different kind. A memory between the two of you written through your eyes. In dual languages if you wouldn't mind.

Really, from me? You are making this quite the scrapbook.

It has to be rather excellent to match his gift. You'll save my hand from cramping if you do.

I do desire to look up it and just know how much he is adored.
