[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]
[WORST!!! But the worst part is that he can't deny that this is nice. Having Emet pay attention to him is nice, and sometimes he doesn't even want to get the upper hand again.
He huffs, but tips his head into the cheek kiss just slightly.]
If it's rare, then isn't it your own fault for not working harder to fluster me?
[Yes, this does technically mean he's admitting to being flustered, but shhhh.]
[He sucks in a sharper breath, blushing again, and gives Emet a nudge in the side - token resistance, really, because he's not actually pushing him away.]
Absolutely not.
[Absolutely yes. Two can play at the tsundere game!]
[RUDE!!! BULLY!!! He makes a noise between a squeak and a whimper, digging his fingers into Emet's shirt. But doesn't resist. He hates that this feels nice and that he wants it, because it also means admitting defeat!]
[He captures his face in both hands when he's done abusing his neck. With a fond expression, he gives him the softest peck on the nose before saying 'I love you' in that warbled language of theirs.
He laughs, leaning into the petting, but nonetheless nudges Emet in the side gently.]
And what of yourself, hmm? You seem to have found plenty of partners in my absence.
[It's also mostly a joke, but at the same time he can't help still feeling a little jealous, a little insecure. After all, their reunion wasn't so easy, and he's still aware that they have 12 thousand years worth of difference.]
... I was not aware of those. But since you ask--yes.
[He looks Emet in the eyes, his tone both joking and serious.]
I think I'll always be jealous of anyone who has even the slightest chance of stealing your attention from me. But isn't that jealousy what you want, too, Hades?
Long ago I would have said yes or at least implied it. Wanting to be fawned over and worried for without a doubt. Not that I do not longer enjoy these affairs, but my priorities have changed.
Rather than jealousy I would simply want those that I love happy with whatever and whomever would bring such joy.
[He smiles at that, visibly soothed. Maybe he just wanted attention and validation, really. But also now that he's given it, he's going to be a spoiled little princess.]
Then... in the meantime, I want a gift from you. Something else I can keep with me to remind me of our bond.

Date: 2022-05-06 05:46 am (UTC)I said I refute the ridiculous notion of my memories. Not that I refute you or your words.
'Tis a rare treat to see you this flustered.

Re: Day 458

Re: Day 458

[Absolutely yes. Two can play at the tsundere game!]

Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-09 06:20 am (UTC)You'd best. You'll be hard pressed to find a better match.
[He's jesting mostly as he runs a hand up and down his back in a soothing gesture.]

Lahabrea and Elidibus do not count. But I suppose that does leave me with two serious and two dalliances.
Do you worry about your place in my heart?
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-09 06:57 am (UTC)The dalliances being?..
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-09 07:04 am (UTC)Cardinal and Caeli.

Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-11 02:38 am (UTC)... I would not interfere in your relationships, of course. And I am happy, truly, that you've found others who put your heart at ease.
But... you'll have to forgive me if I keep worrying over whether they may replace me in your heart.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-11 04:30 am (UTC)Impossible. I'd give you a piece of it as proof would I be able.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-11 04:46 am (UTC)... Well, then. I think that would dissuade me from such worries.
Re: Day 458
Date: 2022-05-11 04:55 am (UTC)I can't now, but when I can, I will.
