[ He laughs a bit at that, but kisses him back softly. He makes a soft "hmm" in thought. On the one hand, he knows they should talk more. But on the other hand... this comfort. He wants to indulge in on it. ]
Are you asking for more of that, my love?
[ Perhaps picking up a little on his "my dear" habit, with his own twist. But yeah, there it is again.
...There are things they should still talk about. But he wants to sink some into this feeling with Sholmes for the moment. Which he'll address after Sholmes' response to his question. ]

[ He makes a soft sound about that, giving him another soft kiss. ]
I'll give you more of that soon. But also... [ He gives a wry smile, pulling Sholmes down closer. As aggressive as he was, he actually wants to be indulged a bit. Give him a few moments. ]
You know... I know we're coming to the end of this, but... We've really gne through a lot. And we keep ... getting distracted from that.
Maybe... but we're going to have to deal with it sometime, Sholmes.
[ He gives him a wry smile. ]
I'm glad it's you that I am going through this with, but. I know it's going to be hard. Facing everything.
[ He moves his hands to rest on Sholmes' cheeks, staring at him. There's deep fondness, but also that vulnerability that he only shows to Sholmes. Maybe he's shown some pain and sadness, but nothing so open to anyone but this man here. It's been seven years since he'd been so open to anyone. ]
But we both owe it to each other and to ourselves. We're wanting to be fully honest, right?

[ He brings his face closer, but not quite enough to give Sholmes anything more. ]
So maybe I should be nice to you.

Maybe not...maybe? Please?

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. ]

Kotetsu... [And now he's coming after him, frowning, trying to reach for him.] You know what I mean. Come now.

This better?

Much better. [A pause.] Though your earlier show wasn't quite unwelcome...

[It is honesty week, after all. The sounds of "my love" sound so sweet to his ears, and he bends in to kiss him on the lips again, warm, gentle.]
[They really do have a lot to talk about. But its nice to be here. Its nice to have this man, and have him to hold.]
