[ 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. ]
[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...?)]
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.
[ 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. ]
[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.]
[ At least's she's friendly. But she peers at him and leans forward to press her nose against his. She seems very content being near him like this.
Meanwhile, Kotetsu is shifting a little and sees the hare checking on him. He's shocked by having her so close to him. Not sure if he should reach out or not. He stares at her, feeling his heart race in his chest from this proximity. He turns just a little, lifting his hand, but hesitating.
Should he...? Granted, Irene was already touching him, there is still a strange feeling. ]

[He nods, closing his eyes.]
Of course. Of course I'll stay.
no subject
Thank you.
[ He'll pepper a few kisses along Sholmes' jaw, cheek, nose. He just wants to poor all of his affections onto him. ]
no subject
I-I should be the one thanking you.
no subject
Hm...? Why's that?
no subject
For making this great detective impossibly happy.
no subject
Now isn't that a mystery? Making the impossible happen.
no subject
[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.
no subject
[ And he plants another kiss on Sholmes' forehead. ]
no subject
[And a kiss in return, to his jaw.]
And I hope to hear it all the more.
no subject
[ He leads a trail of kisses down the bridge of his nose to plant one at the tip. ]
no subject
[He's raising a hand to tuck some hair behind an ear.]
no subject
[ 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.
no subject
[A kiss to the lips, laughing a little.]
no subject
I can't imagine it any other way.
no subject
Hm. [And a sigh.] Are we going to stay here, my dear fellow? Or finally go rest for the evening?
no subject
We should probably find someplace a bit more comfortable. Did you have anywhere in mind?

[zetsu telling me like yeah he'll just Not Be There]
no subject
Mind if we make a quick stop at my room? I want to grab my bag.
