[It feels like they fit together, somehow. It again brings forward that bittersweet, familiar feeling in his chest. He had it so good, and now here it is again, laid at his feet, as if nothing else mattered.]

[He kisses him languidly back, stroking gently down to tickle his neck with his fingers.]

[It's so good.]

[It's almost too good to be true.]

[ The touch makes a shiver run down his spine and he makes a small sound in the kiss. He has his own slight ache. He hasn't forgotten his wife, but he also knows she wouldn't want him not to grab at happiness if it was there.

And this was happiness. In the midst of everything, this was his solace. He could forget the Watchers, the previous world they were in. It's like something clicked into place when they were brought here. ]

Stay with me tonight...

[ It's soft. More of a request than any sort of demand. He wouldn't force him. ]

[greatdeduction]

...

[He could say no. But why would he want to? Everything is good. Everything is calm. Nothing will ruin this moment. It's his to have. Kotetsu is his to have.]

[(Is he only wanting this to relive some past moment long gone, years and years ago, when the world was much simpler? No, no, of course not. He loves him, doesn't he...?)]

[He nods, closing his eyes.]

Of course. Of course I'll stay.

[ Kotetsu lets out a breath of air he wasn't aware he was even holding. ]

Thank you.

[ He'll pepper a few kisses along Sholmes' jaw, cheek, nose. He just wants to poor all of his affections onto him. ]

[greatdeduction]

[He laughs a little, ticklish, at the kisses.]

I-I should be the one thanking you.

[ That only encourages more feathery soft kisses, grinning a little to himself. ]

Hm...? Why's that?

[greatdeduction]

[Ah, is it just him, or do his eyes feel wet again?]

For making this great detective impossibly happy.

[ Oh, no. Kotetsu thinks he's so cute. He'll kiss those eyelids if his eyes are closed. Otherwise, just the corner near his eyes. ]

Now isn't that a mystery? Making the impossible happen.

[greatdeduction]

Ahaha.

[A little laugh, like bells, at the kisses.]

I'm on the case. This world-famous detective will assuredly get to the bottom of this grand mystery of happiness.

I guess that just means we'll have to keep exploring it together.

[ And he plants another kiss on Sholmes' forehead. ]

[greatdeduction]

That's all I would ever hope to hear from you.

[And a kiss in return, to his jaw.]

And I hope to hear it all the more.

I'll keep telling you these things until you're sick of it.

[ He leads a trail of kisses down the bridge of his nose to plant one at the tip. ]

[greatdeduction]

I could never be sick of it. As I hope you won't grow sick of me.

[He's raising a hand to tuck some hair behind an ear.]

Not a chance.

[ He plants another small kiss on his nose. ]

If you haven't figured it out yet, I don't give up easily. So it means you're stuck with me.

[greatdeduction]

Very well. I shall stick to your side like glue, and woe be to those who do their best to pry us apart.

[A kiss to the lips, laughing a little.]

[ He laughs at the dramatics of that, but kisses back. ]

I can't imagine it any other way.

[greatdeduction]

[He is nothing BUT dramatic, its just how he lives.]

Hm. [And a sigh.] Are we going to stay here, my dear fellow? Or finally go rest for the evening?

[sponsoredby]

[ Fair point. ]

We should probably find someplace a bit more comfortable. Did you have anywhere in mind?

[greatdeduction]

We could go to my room or yours in that grand castle. Whatever is free.

I already gave up my bed for my roommate and I don't think she'd appreciate me bringing anyone inside. Kind of a safe haven. Something we established after this morning's debacle.

[greatdeduction]

Not an issue. Then it shall be my room instead! I don't think that young man will be there.

[zetsu telling me like yeah he'll just Not Be There]

[sponsoredby]

[ very good arrangement. ]

Mind if we make a quick stop at my room? I want to grab my bag.

[greatdeduction]

Yes, of course. Whatever you wish.

Sounds like a plan.

[ Then, since that's all decided, he starts to shift off of Sholmes. And being the ever so graceful man he is, he starts to lose his balance and literally falls off the couch.

Luckily, Finley senses this and very quickly picks Irene by the scruff and jumps out of the way so they don't get crushed. ]

Ow...

[ But what was that? I guess Kotetsu really didn't want to move because Finley is taking this chance to leap up on top of Sholmes and stand on him. Enjoy a tiger on your chest staring down, bud. Setting Irene right down next to his face. ]

[greatdeduction]

...

[This is...]

[The tiger on him is quite a shock. Sholmes blinks, a bit stupefied, but as he lays here, Irene hops down from the couch to check on Kotetsu, almost instantly.]

[She snuffles against his neck, before placing a paw on his shoulder.]

[Sholmes just lays there, silent. There's never been a feeling like this before.]
