Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

[He wraps his arms around his shoulders leaning against him.]

How many nights have I waited to have you with me like this? How many fake promises did I make to Zodiark, those primitive primals, myself, anyone would would listen, to have you back.

Of course having you here is a fantasy. A dream come true.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[In the end he can neither deny nor resist such earnest sentiment. He leans back, stroking Emet's arm gently.]

... I'm sure I missed you too. While I was slumbering inside Zodiark.

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

[He rests his forehead on the back of his neck.]

Sometimes I do forget. That you do not recall everything.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

Does it bother you?

[Scritching the side of Emet's head gently.]

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

[Leaning into that with a huff.]

My fears and worries are what they always are. I do not wish to unknowingly coerce you into a direction.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[... hums thoughtfully,]

And is that fear still that I would come to reject you?

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

[He shakes his head.]

Of everyone, you are the one I would like to manipulate the least. Besides Elidibus, you have earned it.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[--okay he can't help chuckling at that]

My! That sounds as though, say, Lahabrea has not earned that.

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

The old man has absolutely not.

[He says grumpily with the upmost fondness and respect.]

Besides, he'd fell left out if I did not.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

Well, by that logic, shouldn't me and Elidibus feel left out too?

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

Have you seen a busier body? No.

Though I can ask you directly if you feel left out.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

Hmm... no. I rather like feeling unique, too.

[Turning his head to give Emet a cheek kiss.]

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

As if you could not be. In all the years I have lived, I have not met a soul like you.

If I had, all of my borrowed forms would have white hair I do assure you.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[He laughs, tugging gently at Emet's one (1) white streak.]

Then how do you explain this?

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

Precisely! It is not all white.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

So does it mean you've earned that white hair just by thinking about me? I'm honored!

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

I like to keep some of myself. A small part.

[He tugs on his braid.]

I believe I have been accused of being nostalgic.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

Well, you are. And we wouldn't have you any other way.

[He kisses Emet's cheek gently.]

It was one of the things that made me fall in love with you, you know.

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

Was it?

Easily did you make friends. For work. For personal. Not unlike Azem, truthfully.

I'm not being self-deprecating, but you truly could have had your pick of anyone.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

[He chuckles softly.]

Are you certain you're not being self-deprecating? Or merely doubting your worth, hmm?

But though you overestimate my qualities, you are right. I could have picked whoever I wanted. And I picked you and Azem.

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

I know my worth, benefits and flaws. You don't have to worry about my ego.

My nostalgia, was it? Not because you could bully me to practically make you anything after an adequate amount of fuss?

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

I would say that that was more of a very nice perk. But... I am moved to ask why you would let me do whatever I wanted like that. Because you enjoy being bullied?

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

I do. Though you never would have gotten me to admit it back then.

And perhaps I enjoyed that certain smile you had when you finally got your way. After the appropriate amount of effort, of course.

Re: Day 458

[weenwoon]

Do you still enjoy it, then? Should I pester you more?

Re: Day 458

[firstworldproblem]

Of course, I do. But you'll find I'm a bit harder to fluster now.

[Not necessarily true. It just might be different things that fluster him now.]

However, I'm sure you'll manage.

[He takes his hand in the meantime.]

Though I imagine you enjoy being bullied just as much.
