Maybe I'd develop a passion for it if I'm enjoying it with you. But I figure stories from a whole different world would delight you greatly.

I won’t be upset if you brought books to study.

But you are correct, it would. And I’d like to go this Ancient Greece of yours. For curiosity sake.

I'm afraid you'll have to settle for modern Greece, unless you fancy a trip far back in time. It's called ancient for a reason.

You’ve never been? Even with all your duties.

Not that I can remember. But to be honest I've never been terribly interested, before. Though it's true I would enjoy it now.

I imagine not an avenue you would have thought you would have enjoyed in the future. But ever am I pleased that your mind is always open.

[He shifts so he can curl in his lap still holding hands. He tucks his head under Five’s chin and closes his eyes.

He relaxes there for quite a number of moments.]

Even now I’m still surprised I found you. And how my heart swells with how much I want and love you.

It's the same for me. Never in my wildest dreams I could ever imagine I'd find someone like you, let alone that you would love me as much as you do. That I would love you as much as I do.

And how much better actually being with you has been, compared to my ideal world dream.

Better than your ideal illusion? Such high praise.

Though I suppose we do owe it for alighting our eyes. I'm quite sure I would have never pushed you romantically.

No dream can ever compare to the joy you bring me on a regular basis every single day, Hades.

But it's true that we do owe this to it. I also never would have accepted my feelings nor the possibility of actually pursuing you if it hadn't been for that and Wildfire's insistence afterwards.

We were quite the pair of fools.

I do wonder if I was too hard on him from time to time. He was more wise than I ever gave him credit for.

Pursue?

[He relaxes more in his arms if that is even possible.]

Was it even a possibility that I was going to say no?

... Well. If you must know yes, I thought you would have said no if I approached you about it honestly.

That was part of why I was so stubbornly trying to deny my feelings.

Now I am rather curious.

[He kisses his neck, fingers drawing patterns on skin.]

Why did you think I would say no?

One of the reasons was my body. I couldn't imagine anyone being interested in me while I'm normally stuck in a thirteen years old body and before that game I didn't even imagine myself in an older one.

And we were already good friends. I thought if you had any romantic feelings for me they would have come up already.

I will admit you current state did cause me to put any such thoughts on hold. Though I did believe when we finally completed both of our goals, we would find a solution. Romance aside, I know how you feel disconnected to your physical form.

‘Tis a good thing then your mind told us what you wanted so we would not be wait so long. I truly can’t imagine a life without you.

Neither can I. And it does seem ridiculous now that I even held back at all.

You've always been nothing but accepting toward me. Something which I'm grateful for.

Such kind and sweet words. It isn't as if we were trying to use each other.

[He's absolutely teasing.]

If the other was simply sweet, I doubt we would have gotten this far. So do be proud of that brash and arrogant attitude of yours.

[ he laughs at that, genuinely amused ]

I probably would never have been interested in you if you were only sweet and kind, that's true. We both have peculiar tastes.

Please. Impeccable is the word you are looking for.

[He turns Five's face to gaze into it letting his thumb run over his cheek. And then he brings their lips together in a softer but no less passionate kiss.]

[ Oh. He's more than happy to indulge it with that, kissing him back and keeping it soft, never once stopping with his touches just to make sure emet will be able to keep enjoying feeling his aether ]

[He almost whimpers into the kiss letting his eyes fall shut. When the kiss breaks he looks at him lazily before kissing his nose, his cheek, the corner of his mouth before biting at his neck.]

[ it's his turn to let out a soft whimper at the bite, and he tilts his head for him, tightening his hold on Emet for a moment ]

If you keep that up I might be the one who needs a cold shower.

That depends entirely on what you want.

[He does leave a mark before he relents and does sit up properly.]

[ His face does turn red, partly because it feels good, but also just because emet leaving a mark is in and of itself incredibly exciting ]

Mm. Maybe this will have to be enough.

We still have the rest of the evening.

[He runs his thumb over the mark before getting up entirely. He gets a towel and holds out his hand to him.]

[ it is transparently obvious how much he likes that, being marked, having Emet admire the mark he left on him - and he's reminded of his joke about marking him with his name and how much he's pretty sure he would let him ]

Right.

And I did promise you cuddling too.

[ he'll take the towel to dry up, and then walk up to Emet so he can give him a quick kiss on the cheek ]
