No, but if you're putting yourself at risk, I deserve to be right there with you.
[ He stops on their walk, still holding Sholmes' chin in his hand. ]
I don't want to think about being without you even for a short while. That talk I had last night... that I mentioned about sacrifice? That applies to you, too. For the greater good, perhaps, but think about me. That I'd be left behind.
[ Yeah, he's going to be keeping quiet the rest of the way and gets them up into the apartment before slamming him up against the apartment door the moment they're inside.
He pins Sholmes there, staring at him with narrowed eyes. ]
[...................Well, that's a very quick way to get all the blood rushing into his face. This is unfair. Kotetsu is shorter than him. What the heck.]
[Sholmes, flustered, just struggles to find where to place his hands, before resting them at the man's waist.]
[ It's fine. He's a very strong man, despite being shorter. Hm. He grabs those hands off of his waist and moves to pin them against the door. No touch. Not for the moment.
He presses his body flush against Sholmes, leaning his head up, almost kissing him, but not quite. ]
Perhaps not. But we were both lucky it wasn't any type of poison.

[HUFFS!]
It doesn't mean you should do it back to me! No one asked you, to!
no subject
Maybe not, but it was an impulse. If you were going to do that, I felt I should let you know how it felt, too.
no subject
[Disgruntled noise at the grip.]
It's hardly my fault that the ability required such a method, my dear! What, do you think I specifically asked for it?

[His shoulders slump down.]
[That's right.]
...I understand. [A low exhale.] I'm sorry. I wouldn't leave you. Not like that.
no subject
Not at all.
[ But then his hand eases up. He leans in and gives him a soft kiss. ]
I'm glad you asked, though. Thank you for that. I mean it.
no subject
[And oh. How soft it is.]
Of course. [His own expression is warm.] I learn from my lessons, you know. Especially when it comes to the ones you teach me.
no subject
Good. We both learn from each other. [ A soft sigh. ] Let's go back to the apartment... Unless you wanted to go somewhere else...?
no subject
[Even as he's hugging the other, now he's sulking a bit? Wonder why.]
Mm. I want to right away, but...Mr. Lowell said we should start stocking up for next week. I suppose we need to find supplies...
no subject
...Mm. Kim and I talked about the same. Is that why you're sulking a little? You'd rather go back?
[ Or... something else causing the sulking? ]
no subject
[He heaves a long suffering sigh.]
I found out...my ability didn't even need to be used in the first place. All that for nothing..............
no subject
Excuse me? What was that?
no subject
Xie Lian told me that...it was part of planned traps he and some others had planted! It had really nothing to do with the actual murder-!
[HE HECKED UP]
no subject
Finley slips back into tiger form around now, picking Irene up by the scruff and Kotetsu just grabs Sholmes' arm. ]
Supplies later.
[ He's frustrated and he is starting to drag Sholmes back to the apartment building. ]
no subject
Very well...
[He won't even protest. Sometimes you do so much for nothing at all...]
no subject
He pins Sholmes there, staring at him with narrowed eyes. ]
You foolish, foolish man.
no subject
[Sholmes, flustered, just struggles to find where to place his hands, before resting them at the man's waist.]
The intention wasn't foolish, at least...

Perhaps not. But we were both lucky it wasn't any type of poison.
no subject
I don't think I would have forgiven myself if it was. But...judging by my examination of it, I didn't think it likely. [...] B-but yes. We were lucky.
no subject
[ He brings his face closer, but not quite enough to give Sholmes anything more. ]
So maybe I should be nice to you.
no subject
Maybe not...maybe? Please?
no subject
Please, hm? Please what, Sholmes?
[ And if Sholmes starts to approach, he is planning to keep this bit of a gap between them, only stopping when he reaches the bed. ]
no subject
[the GALL]
Kotetsu... [And now he's coming after him, frowning, trying to reach for him.] You know what I mean. Come now.
no subject
He leans up to give him a small kiss. ]
This better?
no subject
Much better. [A pause.] Though your earlier show wasn't quite unwelcome...
