Normally that's my type of motto. Maybe I'm just tired after the last week and having someone like you to talk to... It's just nice to get it out sometimes.
[ His head shifts a little bit, not enough to move Sholmes' much, but enough to lightly nuzzle his neck. ]
[ There's a breathy little laugh at that, words falling off for now, though. Don't mind him planting a few more kisses at his neck, the last couple trailing a bit upward. ]
[ He shifts to plant one more kiss onto Sholmes' jaw and moves so he's able to rest his forehead against the other's, knocking his hat off from Sholmes' head. His eyes are focused on him, something burning just a bit under the surface. ]
[Ah, that really is the look of a fiery superhero, alright. Sholmes lets out an amused little huff, not at all sorry for the loss of the hat. One hand moves to cup the other's ear as he smirks.]
Come now, man. If you want something, you really must reach out and take it, hm?
[ His fingers tighten just a bit into Sholmes' hair, the other hand lifting to rest on his neck. He doesn't hesitate to just lean in and press their lips together. ]
[ His head tilts a bit, applying just a bit more pressure, but keeping it light. For now, at least. It's just going to soak up this feeling of being with someone again like this. There's a slight sigh of relief against the kiss. ]
[Sholmes takes whatever the other gives him - with a hum, he's just lazily returning the favor with the added pressure from his end, just enjoying it as it is.]
[Irene is probably reaching up her little hare head to boop Finley on the nose while this is happening.]
[He lets out a surprised noise at that, then a huff, like the start of a laugh. It doesn't deter, him, however, from continuing the kiss.]
[Irene lets out a little chirp, ears going back only to let the tiger lick over her head, leaning her body against the fluffiness of the bigger animal.]
[ Kotetsu can't say he doesn't enjoy catching Sholmes a bit off guard. Turnabout is fair play, perhaps? But it's also kind of cute. His nose gently rubs against Sholmes', part of him just wanting to soak up this tender feeling for longer, but also wanting something more. Hm.
In that case, Finley is just going to be casually grooming Irene, letting out a soft purr as he dotes on the hare. ]
[He breaks the kiss momentarily, eyes closed. He just lets Kotetsu's nose rub against his for a few seconds, enjoying the sensation. He feels very warm. It's all very warm. The rushed thoughts of his mind are dimmed down for this one moment.]
[Meanwhile Irene is very content, eyes closed and everything. Tiger grooming...it's nice.]
[ When that happens, Kotetsu moves both hands to Sholmes' jaw, resting there as if he's holding Sholmes like he's the most important treasure to him. ]
Tell me what you want.
[ His voice is barely above a whisper. And honestly? He doesn't even care if he gets some outlandish or ridiculous answer. He just wants to hear what comes to mind. This is the look of a man willing to do literally anything for the one in front of him.
Finley is equally pleased. Happy to be taking care of Irene like this. ]
[It's so much. Sholmes is so much, constantly, every day, every minute, thinking, constantly thinking, and in this moment, having this kind of quiet moment where everything is okay, he can enjoy it all, and not have to worry, not have to think, just for this one moment...]
[(Something inside twists, bittersweetly - there was someone who he was this happy with, wasn't he? But does it compare to this? This feels real. This feels incredibly real.)]
[His gaze casts away, before he just closes his eyes.]
I...don't know.
[The kind of pressure behind that loving gaze is...]
[He just clenches the other's shoulder, paralyzed by indecision.]

[And now he's leaning his head against the other's.]
Life may be dark, indeed, but there is always a lighter path to look forward and take. You should lean towards that.

[He tucks the man's hair gently behind an ear, smiling slightly at the ticklish sensation of the other against his neck.]
I will do all I can, so you shall not lose heart in these dark times. That is my promise to you.
no subject
[ With this proximity, one arm slips around Sholmes, resting on his back. ]
no subject
[He sighs at that, following the other's movement by sliding his hand over the other's shoulders to pull him closer.]
[A pause, before he just lightly kisses him on the top of his head.]
Please.
no subject
[ His hand slowly trails up Sholmes' back, brushing his fingers into the bottom of his hair. ]
I just want you knowing this is a two way street.
no subject
[He can't help but relax at the touch, sinking into it. He doesn't answer at the moment, just sliding a hand down the other's back gently.]
...I do feel quite lucky to have you at my side. I may be the luckiest gentleman in the world.
no subject
Then that makes me he luckiest superhero.
[ Don't mind as he places maybe a light kiss on his neck. ]
no subject
[He smiles at the kiss, cupping the back of his neck gently as he turns his head to kiss the top of his head again.]
I wouldn't want to hear anything less, my dear.

[He laughs at that, because it tickles! He's turning his head just to aim a fond look down at him.]
You really are ever so eager!
no subject
Does that bother you?
no subject
Not at all. It's you, after all.

[It's nice. It's really quite nice.]

Finley's tail flicks at that and sorry, little hare, the tiger is licking the top of her head. ]
