If... that happens, I hope you can take the knife. Catch the second killer, if the pattern continues.
[ Is he asking Sholmes to carry an extremely heavy burden of his life and death? Sure is, but... he trusts him. ]
I can ask the Watchers tomorrow what would happen in that case. How a new person would be picked or if I could request the next person to take the knife.
[ He understands that feeling. Even if they're not tethered, their emotions are one.
His hand slips to rest on the back of Sholmes' neck, the other moving from his face to wrap around his body. He pulls him closer, desperate to never let him go. ]
[They really got to stop making out in public places like this except they won't stop.]
[Sholmes sighs into the kiss. He's upset. He's deeply upset over everything that just happened - the scapegoat, the mess of a trial, and having to possibly kill or be killed by Kotetsu in the future.]
[That's why...things like this are welcome distractions. His hand moves to mimic the other's to slip at the back of his neck, fingers tangling in his hair.]
[This really is the best way to relax, isn't it? They did something like this weeks before, following a trial. It seems so natural now. Before, kissing the man seemed like a momentary treat. Now, it feels like its something he falls back to for the purpose of collecting himself. To remind himself there is still some hope, somewhere.]
[He's more than happy to let Kotetsu in, deepening the kiss on his end, too.]
[His hand brushes through the other's hair lovingly, his free hand sliding down the other's back.]
[Honestly, at this point, if someone walked in, Sholmes would be appalled, but would probably still continue. He can't help it. He belongs to Kotetsu and Kotetsu belongs to him.]
[It's how it works at this point.]
[He is soothed by the touch to his back, murmuring Kotetsu's name into the kiss, with a sigh.]

[A shuddering sigh.]
What will happen to the knife, in this...worse case scenario?

[And if he's caught, where does the knife go? Nowhere?]
Yes, I would like if you did. It could give us some direction.
[it's THEIR gay ass knife, kind of]

[ Asking Sholmes to live with his death? Hm. But he lightly shakes his head. ]
I will. And I'll let you know what they tell me.
[ it is, it helped drive them closer together, after all. ]

[His head falls, his forehead resting against the other's. Living with Kotetsu's death...]
Alright. Alright... [A pause.] We'll go from there. But for now, we know...what we have planned for.

Yes...
[ He cups Sholmes' cheeks tenderly. Hoping with every fiber that it never comes to that. For both their sakes. ]
no subject
[He kisses him after a moment, sweetly, but with a longing that almost wishes to keep Kotetsu here, forever and ever, without letting him go.]
[But this world is dangerous and cruel. He can't discount the worst possibilities.]
[He can enjoy happiness while it lasts, though.]

Everything happens so much. Maybe this is an escape, but... people repeatedly tell him to take breaks. Get rest.
This is his rest. This is his safe place where he can relax. He doesn't want this taken from either of them, but that is a thought that looms.
So, he needs to cherish every second passed with him.
Very gently, he nuzzles Sholmes in the kiss. Deepening it ever so slightly. ]

Maybe someone would judge them for this, but he can't help it. Sholmes is what helps keep him grounded. What helps him from losing faith.
Lazily, he rubs Sholmes' back, touch extremely comforting. He wants to give back to Sholmes what he gives him. ]

In response to his name, he responds with Sholmes' name, his tongue slipping out to brush over Sholmes' lips.
Finley gently purrs below them while giving Irene attention. ]
