Of course, I am not especially happy you mentioned it to the rest without letting me know of it. But at the same time, I understand we are in difficult times. We are running out of time. And we are grasping for straws, in the darkness. I do not blame you for wanting to do your best to help others.
[He lifts the man's hand to his lips to kiss the back of it.]
Overall...please. Rest your fears. I am not upset. All I want is to make sure you are not put in danger...unless its absolutely necessary. I will not be your cage, Kotetsu. And you can do things here I could never do. I understand that. All I ask is for you to be considerate, as you go along. Your life is important, you know. To you, and...to me, too. You know that.
[ The tension slowly releases from his shoulders and he closes the distant between them to rest his forehead on Sholmes' shoulder. ]
I know. And I mentioned that. I made all of them swear they would tell absolutely no one outside of the room. Not a single helper.
But I also told them I don't want to throw myself in harm's way, despite what anyone thinks. I still have my promise... but I also know if I can't fix what's going on... that promise won't mean anything when everything's destroyed.
Of course, I understand. That's the rub, isn't it? That if everything can be destroyed in an instant...then there's no use holding onto something like that.
[He shifts his head to kiss him on the forehead gently.]
But let us consider that a method of last resort. We still can figure this out. We'll do our best to.
[ He sounds a little exhausted at that and sighs. ]
I was so excited to see this new place when I woke up... and then everything happened with that meeting. I wanted to ask if you wanted to stay with me this week, too...
I look forward to waking up to your face each day.
[ Doesn't that actually happen a decent amount with them? Shhh. It's different when it's just the two of them alone in their own space for an entire week.
Finley nuzzles at Irene, maybe a little sulky. Why didn't you come over and comfort me earlier, dear? ]
[ He plants a soft kiss on Sholmes' jaw at that and nods. Honestly, even with admitting that and getting his guilt out? He stills looks tired. It's not even that late in the day. ]
I wouldn't even mind spending curfew with you there...
[ He mumbles softly, but nudges him with his nose a bit. Let's go get your stuff. ]
[ He shivers a little at the tickle, draping his arm over Sholmes' shoulder, cuddling up to his side, more or less. PS. He is wearing this by now. Forgot to mention.
Finley offers her back to her lovely girlfriend, as usual. ]

[Hmm. UNDERSTANDABLE. Gay pass.]

So... Would you like to move in with me for the week?
[ Why does this sound like a marriage proposal?
Btw, when they got close to each other before, Finley crawled over to her girlfriend. ]

[WHY *DOES* THIS SOUND LIKE A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL]

[This is very gay. Love this for them.]
[And Irene just paps Finley again. Because the stinky old man was thinking about what he was hearing, that's why.]
no subject
[ Honestly, they deserve this.
Dumb old man. Finley relaxes to cuddle girlfriend lovingly. ]

[He'll shift to give a proper kiss to his lips, casual, before drawing back. His fingers lift to tickle under his chin before he turns.]
Let's get it all.
