And you're helping with it. We've got a good reason to keep carrying on.
[ He slides his hand from around the front of Sholmes' back to his front, fingers tracing down his chest, to his stomach. Feeling out every line of him on the way. ]
And same to you. I carry my duty and you close to my heart.
[ Almost literally in both cases. The photo and the knife. Both at his chest normally. But he shifts a little, to press Sholmes back against the bed, leaning over him now. ]
[ His fingers edge along the top of Sholmes' pants. Meaningfully. Maybe this isn't the time for it, maybe it is. But with everything going on, the concerns, the stress... he wants to sink into this comfort of being with Sholmes.
Every day is uncertain. Fate has been cruel. And unfortunately, there's always the lingering thought in the back of his mind: I've lost you once, I don't want to lose you again.
Despite all their promises, there was always a chance something could happen. ]
[ But he doesn't plan to be here. He wants this to be good... for both of them. He starts to push that shirt up that Sholmes is wearing, exposing his stomach completely. He plants one more kiss on Sholmes before he shifts, sliding down his body so he can plant a few soft kissing on his stomach. ]
[ Yes, very clumsy. Look at their first mini-event after all.
He laughs against Sholmes' stomach. But he nuzzles his stomach while his hands move to Sholmes' pants. He does keep his gaze upward at Sholmes for the time being. ]
[ He shoots up a slightly devilish grin at him before he kisses further down, kissing right above the edge of Sholmes' pants. Having undone them, he starts to tug at them, sliding them down his legs. ]

[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.

[He seems to get an urge - moving in to playfully nip at the other's lower lip.]
You're a large part of that. [And another huff, his hand reaching up to thread through the other's hair.] You really are.

Can I make another selfish request?
no subject
[He leans up his head to kiss him, lightly.]
Do state it to me. I shall see fit to grant it.
no subject
I want to be with you, Sholmes.

[He lets out a low inhale, realizing with the touch above his waistline.]
[And then, he can't help but let out a little chuckle.]
Ah, no wonder you brought the bag. [And he hums, kissing the other's nose, smiling, grinning. Happy. He's just...happy.] I don't see why not.
no subject
[ But he brushes his fingers lightly over Sholmes' stomach, maybe teasing a little. He visibly relaxes at the agreement. ]
You'll have to tell me if you're uncomfortable... This is pretty new to me.
[ Completely new to him, he should say. Outside of messing around with Sholmes before, he's only been with his wife. ]
no subject
[But the touch tickles, and he chuckles again - he just feels...very safe. Very secure. It's Kotetsu, after all.]
Of course. But I have my faith in you.

[Clumsy Kotetsu...]
[But...oh, that's a new area to be kissed over. His cheeks burn a little, skin tickling as he reaches down to brush through his hair, encouraging.]

You're adorable. And handsome.
no subject
[He smiles like the shitlord he is.]
[But he's just holding his hand against the man's ear, gently - despite his obvious insufferable nature, he is truly very fond.
going toward some NSFW territory... if it wasn't OBVIOUS ... look away now
[ He shoots up a slightly devilish grin at him before he kisses further down, kissing right above the edge of Sholmes' pants. Having undone them, he starts to tug at them, sliding them down his legs. ]
LOOKS AWAY
[He's shifting his legs just to kick his shoes off, before he lets Kotetsu move his pants down.]
[He lets out a low sigh.]
Ah, what a pain it is, not to have a hand. I could help you if I could.
no subject
It's fine. I'd want to do this for you anyway.
[ He plants a few more kisses, leaving a trail up his leg. ]
Hmm... Always wanting that praise, though... I love watching your expression. Every one of them. Even some I only get to see.
[ And he nuzzles his leg, fingers slipping under the edge of Sholmes' underwear. He only lightly tugs on them. ]
no subject
[He shifts his legs a little wider - despite the casual words, he's blushing. The man's kisses tickle, and he's letting out a shuddering sigh.]
It's true, though. Some I will...only ever show you.
no subject
[ He lightly nips the inside of his thigh before moving up just a touch more. He noses him lightly through his underwear. ]
I'd hope so. I'd be a little sad if that wasn't the case...
no subject
[Maybe he's also flustered at what's happening, but who says he can't feel that way about a lot of things, here?]
Then don't be. I'm too proud of a man to simply open my doors to show the world. It's for you. My gift.
no subject
[ He shifts again to bring his lips up to Sholmes' stomach before stripping his underwear off of him to toss on his pants. ]
I'll make sure to give back the same for you.
