Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

Take it as a reflection of your own work. I certainly didn't learn to be friendly on my lonesome.

[He nips at his nose, biting it lightly.]

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

[weenwoon]

[Hm, wait a moment. He tips his head thoughtfully, counting Emet's relationships.]

The dalliances being?..

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

Are you to be jealous of those as well?

Cardinal and Caeli.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[HUH.]

... 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?

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

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.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[He watches Emet for a few moments, then sighs softly.]

... 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

[firstworldproblem]

[He laughs as he takes his hands.]

Impossible. I'd give you a piece of it as proof would I be able.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[... OH. He blushes a little at that. That... would be ideal, really.]

... Well, then. I think that would dissuade me from such worries.

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

[Kissing his knuckles.]

I can't now, but when I can, I will.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[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.

1/2

[firstworldproblem]

[He thinks about it for a long while. Closing his eyes and pondering what would suit him best.]

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

We would need to make a trip somewhere else. We could depart now or I could surprise you later.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[Well, that certainly piques his interest!]

A trip somewhere? Well, we've still got time in the day.

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

Not so exciting. Simply back to Baritones.

[He gets up on the Pegasus and then holds his hand to help him up.]

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

Is that so?~ I wonder what you might have for me there.

[Taking the hand to climb up!]

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

[He makes sure he is on securely before urging the mechanical monstrosity back. Good thing they are on the roof!

When they arrive, he takes him back to his room and pulls him to center of it.]

If you would close your eyes.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[He grins, closing his eyes as instructed. Exciting!!]

Well, this is quite interesting already!

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

[He squeezes his fingers before he shuffles around the room. Picking a gift for Hythlodaeus is not as easy as it appeared. It had to be special. To be unique. Something that could properly convey the bond they shared.

Not any bauble would do!

So when he returns, he stands in front of him. A weight falls on Hythlodaeus' forehead and cheeks. A mask of crimson red with dual white arcs and a scowling expression.]

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[He makes a noise of surprise at feeling the weight on his face, raising a hand to touch it... a mask?

He takes a few moments to think, then grins again.]

Hmm. Is that what I think it is?

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

It is. Do you mind the weight of it?

[It's a gift with a heavy meaning and he's a little embarrassed by it.]

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

Not at all.

[He smiles, running his fingers across the mask, then finally opening his eyes to give Emet a mischievous look.]

Does it suit me? Though I fear I would still make a poor Emet-Selch, alas.

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

You would have made a fine Emet-Selch. Just as you made a fine head of the Bureau.

Truthfully, I made a poor Emet-Selch without you. You always balanced me out. See what I could not.

[He kisses him softly as he wears the mask.]

Does this ease the worry of your heart? I give you what I could never discard no matter how much time passes.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[/// CUTE... He returns the kiss, taking Emet's hands into his gently. Despite the fact that he sounds as playful as ever, there is a deep, vulnerable sincerity to his voice.]

It does. Perhaps they should have allowed us to take the seat together - something of an unusual precedent, yes, but... maybe we should have made the case that we work best together.

[He smiles again, leaning in closer to press his forehead against Emet's.]

... Thank you, Hades. I've missed you so terribly.

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

We do work best together. Azem doesn't count. They simply get in the way.

[He says it with zero bite about the third of their trio.

He squeezes his fingers leaning in as well.]

Well, I am here to both delight you and ruffle your feathers at the same time. You asked for me, now there is naught you can do to rid yourself of that. And you know I do not make promises lightly.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[He laughs, happy and genuine - then wraps his arms around Emet, spinning him around a little.]

Then I've got you just where I want you, Hades. You better be certain I am not going to let you go, either.
