[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.
Good. I'll make sure to keep that in mind when the time comes. I've also tried to talk to them more personally. I've shared things about my life with them, shared shards with a few. Of course I had to ask if it would be okay to share... my secret with you.
Baraqiel... probably knows about us because of it.
[ Kind of hard to hide? He didn't straight out say it, but... ]
Oh, they were vague about it. Stated that they were aware of things happening between participants, but what was left to their personal spaces was not something under their discretion.
Baraqiel is someone I don't mind knowing... Especially since I'm not ashamed of this relationship. Funny enough, the day I asked if I could share with you was one of the days we talked about the windows. We'd been successful to that point. I'm hoping it's continuing...
[ He casually slides his fingers along Sholmes' back, nodding. ]
Yeah, but that was the night before I told you everything. So, I don't know how it's been in the last world or here. It's tiring, with everything going on, but knowing that I'm helping... it's rewarding.

If only we got lucky enough to share a room.

[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.

[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.]

[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?
no subject
[ And that he has to think on, rubbing his neck. ]
Rebellion, for one thing?
[ Kotetsu?????????? ]
no subject
Pardon?
no subject
But if being told that they might get dusted for what they want to say... given what we were talking about, I think that's the line of thought.
no subject
[Understandable.]
Are you planning on aiding them with this?
no subject
[ Knife, Knife, Knife. ]
I have to think about it. I'm not just thinking about me in this case.
no subject
[He nods. His boyfriend's sick ass knife!!!]
Whatever you decide...I will be at your side. You are not alone in this.

[A slight rosiness is in his cheeks, now.]
And now Rameel does, too. [BECAUSE. YOU KNOW.] Baraqiel did make that seem like that was the case, when I talked to them.
no subject
Did they? I'm curious what they said...
[ But... shh. They don't need to talk about Rameel. Of course he knows. ]
no subject
[So. Yeah. BARAQIEL KNOWS.]

Well, I do hope it is. You're good at what you do.

no subject
[He's sighing at the touch, much more relaxed than before.]
I think it matters. To know that something you're doing is helping. It gives you strength.
