[He cups his face, holding him close. And even though he's blushing, cheeks quite tinted pink, he's also smiling.]

That is truly all I wish for when we've done what we set out to do.

Perhaps premature to have other goals, but I would see us both thrive beyond measure.

Do you think you can indulge me in that?

[He laughs as he wraps his arms around him.]

I was hoping to languish when this was all done. Just a bit. In a nice soft bed with a view of Amaurot.

I will be quite done with being productive.

[He laughs and pulls Emet forward, leaning back so the man has to rest against him. This is his.]

I'll allow it, I suppose you've earned it.

[He does his best to look disgruntled but follows the movement.]

Suppose, he says. And you best not wander off in the middle of the night once this is all over. I will drag you back.

[Time to pet this man. Though he smiles fondly at the words, heart warmed.]

Do I seem so prone to senility? I know where I belong.

Senile, never. Guilt. Well, that is a different matter.

[He pulls back enough so he can kiss his forehead.]

Do I take this as agreement that you will stay?

[He does make a face at being called on that particular problem.]

I have been planning on it. Should I be making new plans?

[But the reply is without heat.]

Even should it happen that I need to have space of my own from most, I would not wish it from you. I would grow far too lonely.

Good. Ever are you wanted and desired. Not only for your devotion and brilliance, but for you. Your quirks, your humor, the way you challenge everything, but care so deeply your own heart might burst. How you gently and harshly guide others when they are too hesitant to walk.

The threat of dragging you back should you wander too far is not an empty one.

[Please? His heart can't handle this. Torn between automatic huffy tsundere of course all that is true and maybe wanting to cry and also to laugh because really!

He makes a noise and takes the back of Emet's head in hand to mash Emet's face against his shoulder, kissing the top of his head with a wordless grumble that might be a cross between a little overwhelmed and laughing.]

Yes, I love you too.

[He is absolutely indigent about that and tries to pull back. But he is laughing all the while, pleased that he was able to get such a reaction.]

[Suffer suffocation against his shoulder while he huffs but can't stop smiling!]

[He is not above tickling his sides to gain his freedom!]

[He yelps and laughs, fingers digging into Emet's scalp even as he squirms.]

Cease!

[He does but replies in a muffled voice.]

Honestly.

[He lets him lift his head if he really wants, petting his hair either way.]

Since you complain when I retaliate in words, I needs must find other means.

[He does and he looks disgruntled in that way he manages while looking tired.]

I will complain regardless but that doesn’t mean I do not appreciate the words.

[He smiles a little, messing up his hair with a gentle ruffle.]

Shall I go on about how dear you are to me then?

That was not an invitation.

Aren’t you supposed to be writing me a heartfelt letter anyway?

Do you think I could ever run out of words to express my gratitude for you presence in my life?

Your arm and voice will get tired at some point.

Trivial matters.

[He looks at him for a moment, another suffering sigh apparent on his face.

And then he leads forward and wraps his arms around his neck, leaning forward so they are cheek to cheek. And speaks in ancient.]

I love you.

[How can he not react with a laugh and a blush, wrapping his arms around Emet to pull him close.]

Even at your grumpiest that has never once been in doubt.

[He holds him tightly fingers digging into his back until he finally lets go and pulls back.]

As if I could lie to you. And you to me. We see each other’s strengths and faults even if we cannot always change their course.

[He lets him sit up, humming in thought.]

I love you as well my dearest friend. But lately it seems more that your strengths grow. It makes me glad to see.
