[ He places a soft kiss on Sholmes' cheek and then shifts behind him, kneeling. If he's wearing his usual hat, he's pulling it off to kiss the back of his head lightly. He reaches into his pocket to pull something out.
He's reaches around the man and puts on a simple sterling silver necklace. There are three charms on it. A small hare, a tiger, and a lemniscate between. He presses his lips softly against Sholmes' ear. ]
Glad to see you feeling better. Let's enjoy the night, okay? [ He whispers softly to him. ] I wanted to wait to give it to you, but I felt this was just as good of a time as any.
[ There's a soft kiss before he pulls away for a moment, leaning to get himself some of the whiskey and simply taking a shot of it. The burn.
Meanwhile, Finley feels much more relaxed, knowing the four of them are in the barrier alone and... she shifts forms. Huh. That's the first time she's changed like that outside of her alone time with Sholmes. ]
[But he nods, kissing him back, before reaching over for Finley to pet her on her head. Irene, in hare form, actually pushes away Sholme's hand so she can snuggle up against the fluffy cat. Her soulmate now. >8(]
Haha. [And he's bumping shoulders against Kotetsu.] I'm sad.
Kotetsu feels that warmth spread over him at the touch, but is amused when Irene shoves Sholmes away. Finley gladly takes the attention from Irene and cuddling close. ]
Same. I feel the same. [ And then he smiles, laughing a little. ] It's funny... I've never been one to want to dance, but when I'm with you, I want to.
[ He dances TERRIBLY at home, truth be told. And he doesn't exactly keep a proper beat, falling one bit behind in the routine he had to do. But with Sholmes... it feels nice? Natural? Maybe it's because it feels so important to him. Something he let him in on... ]
I feel that it isn't important to know how to dance with a partner. You should be ignorant of when one is in sync, when one moves, how you both think...
[ Time is growing short on their time in this world and this adventure, so he doesn't want to waste a moment of it. Something in the last week shifted. The death is tragic, unnecessary, but he knows he'll see them again.
He knows the future can be changed, that they're not bound by this death game. This hope burns deep in his chest for a bright future and these friends he's made here are part of what keeps that kindling... especially the man he pulls close in his arms. No, this man is the one that actually stokes the fire, feeding it the fuel he needs to burn brighter, hotter, warmer.
He follows along with him. Even if he doesn't have the graceful elegance of his partner, it's fine. He makes up for it in his dedication to following him. Each dance will make him find that pace easier, so there's an unspoken promise of more dances in the future. A future he hopes for with every bit of his soul. ]
You, Sholmes, are astonishing... So many talents. I am in awe of you... and I'm so lucky.
[It's fine. Kotetsu may not be the best dancer in the world, but he is to Sholmes. It doesn't matter if he isn't at peak grace. All that matters is that he's following the lead, in his arms, together.]
[If only this happiness could last forever. It's a pleasant dream. And he's had so many moments of happiness just like this one, over and over. It's become so expected to wake up, and see the man's face next to him. To even awake, and be met with pure, honest happiness right away...]
[He says he's lucky, but Sholmes thinks he's the lucky one here. They both are.]
[Lucky in love, lucky in life.]
[He doesn't say anything. He just blushes, pressing his forehead against the other's. What a dream this is.]
[ It's fine if Sholmes doesn't say anything in return. The movements, their enjoyment together, it's enough. He can tell how special this moment is without words and he wouldn't want Sholmes to force himself to speak lies in this very moment, even if he'd be able to read the truth beneath those words.
He thought this would be another week where they would have to find somewhere to stay, work hard to make it happen, but being able to have him at his room every moment? Truly blessed.
Sure, they've spent time with others in the city and enjoyed things, but in the end, they seek one another out like the magnets they are, drawn together by some unknown force since almost the beginning.
It's funny, they met on a rooftop and here they are once again. Sure, the circumstances were quite different, but even back then, there was something oddly comforting being around this man. This path... he doesn't know if he could walk it alone.
So, as Sholmes is fine with him being one step off, following along his best, he enjoys this dance as much as the other man. ]

[Oh.]
[He looks down at the hare and the tiger charms, and the infinity symbol, and he's just...turning a deep crimson. He's emotionally overwhelmed, here.]
