[ Another kiss. He starts to pull him toward the bed. Meanwhile, Finley is much, much more comfortable and changes into her Maine Coon form, padding over to nuzzle Irene. ]
[And a proper kiss returned. It's funny, how easily everything seems to melt away, in the presence of the other man. It's always been like that. Like that curse took hold, and sprouted into something stronger.]
Mm. [And a kiss to his jaw, cheeks warm.] If only we could make this moment last forever.
[ It's the same for Kotetsu. Despite the terrible things surrounding them, at least here, with Sholmes, there's a moment of safety. Somewhere he can feel comfortable and at peace... His heart can mend.
One hand slides to get under Sholmes' shirt, touching at his side. ]
[Now to mimic, his only hand moves down to tug up the other's shirt to touch at his back below, sliding it up under the fabric. A kiss to his ear, now.]
[ There's a soft sigh under the attention. The tension in him easing up just a little more. He slowly drags his hand up Sholmes' side, pushing the shirt up along the way. ]
[ He tilts his head a bit to give Sholmes more room at his neck. His hand slides from his side and to his back, fingers resting on his shoulder blades for the moment. ]
A place where we don't have to hide anything. Where only we're allowed.
[ Of course he would. Knife duties still were a thing. And being around for others. But the thought of spending the week alone with Sholmes sounds like a perfect thing. ]
Here... Let me get that.
[ Because also vest. And Knife. So it'd be easier to help with at least some of that. He slides his hand out from under Sholmes' shirt, adjusting so that he can make quick work of the vest and knife. The shirt can come later as he settles back in, hand settling back into its spot on Sholmes' back. ]
At least we've been lucky to find places like this...
[ Another reason this week has been so hard. He's constantly being drawn close, but being forced to stay away. But he reminds himself over and over that it's for the best. To protect both of them.
He also smiles in response. ]
I have. When you went missing... I did a lot of work. I was searching for you, but that helped keep me focused. This world has... a lot. Compared to the others.
[ And with a lot going on? It's been hard to balance both. Exhausting... but he's got determination and a good support. ]
But they haven't said anything too direct on that. We have... a lot of other things we've had to talk about.

[When he sees the other, he draws close, smiling.]
Very well. Another search for us, then. Shall we begin?
no subject
The sooner the better.
no subject
[And he's putting his arm around his waist.]
Would you like me to carry anything for you?
no subject
I've got it. I'm relying on you to find our new place to rest.
no subject
[me just handwaving here like THEY FOUND A PLACE here they go]
[He's raising his hands to clap in delight, except...ah. Still a stump.]
Well, here we are! Home sweet home. For now.
no subject
Not a bad place at all.
no subject
No, not at all. [And kissing him back, happily.] I suppose its better than the one we had a week ago, too.
no subject
It is. You're pretty good at all this.
[ Another kiss. He starts to pull him toward the bed. Meanwhile, Finley is much, much more comfortable and changes into her Maine Coon form, padding over to nuzzle Irene. ]
no subject
[Irene, hare-shaped, nuzzles back, rubbing against Finley with little cute noises. She's pleased.]
[Sholmes is more than happy to be dragged along, kissing him in return in the meanwhile.]
no subject
He chuckles softly about that, planting soft kisses on him. He starts pulling him further, sitting down on the bed. Come, come. Join him, Sholmes. ]
no subject
What a lucky man I am, to have you in my arms.
no subject
We share the same luck.
no subject
[He's trailing his only hand down the other's spine, fingers tickling over his back.]
I wouldn't give it up for the world.
no subject
Same. You're stuck with me for good.
[ He shifts to give Sholmes a proper kiss now. ]
no subject

We'll just have to make the most of it.

Our time is precious, after all.

If only we got lucky enough to share a room.
no subject
[He's smirking a little, sighing at the touch.]
No worries about finding some place for the both of us. [He presses a line of kisses against the other's neck.] I'd like that.
no subject
A place where we don't have to hide anything. Where only we're allowed.
no subject
[He hums into the other's neck, closing his eyes, covetous.]
What bliss that would be.
[He's hooking the shirt on his arm stump, before using his hand in conjunction to start tugging his shift upward.]
no subject
[ Of course he would. Knife duties still were a thing. And being around for others. But the thought of spending the week alone with Sholmes sounds like a perfect thing. ]

no subject
[He lets Kotetsu do his thing, before drawing close again. It's like they're magnets, drawn together, no matter what.]
[He smiles, kissing the corner of the other's lips.]
...You've closed a lot of windows, haven't you? I suppose our masked benefactors must be happy with your work.

Other things? What sorts of other things?
