Aye. A greedy, selfish, whimsical man whom I fell in love with too late. Isn't it more accurate to say that you want the world to know that I am yours rather than the other way around?
[ There's a small sharper intake of breath from Hythlodaeus that might well mean Hades is right on the money. And it is true; Hythlodaeus is indeed very possessive of his friend and partner. It makes him remember that moment in the maze, when he had to confront a doppelganger of himself - and felt quite jealous even of a vision of himself. Maybe he is ridiculous, just as Hades says sometimes. ]
Yes, well... Can you blame me for wanting to show off my luck?
[ He tries to tug Hythlodaeus down into the seat beside him. While not as jealous or possessive of his lover, he is content to belong to Hythlodaeus in the same way Hythlodaeus covets him. ]
Now sit down and eat your cake. I can't kiss you like this.
"Mm, not if I feed it to you mouth-to-mouth," he says slyly. Although Hades would normally find the thought distasteful, he takes up the knife and begins to carve a slice from the cake.
Some of Hythlodaeus' mischief has clearly rubbed off on him.
Hythlodaeus stares at his friend, open-mouthed; this is a lot bolder than he would ever have expected from Hades, even with their newly forged bond. He also can't help blushing just slightly; it's definitely... unorthodox, but at the same time the thought of Hades deciding to act quite so lewd for his sake is... exciting.
Hythlodaeus coughs to hide his embarrassment, but doesn't protest at all, keeping his eyes on the cake.
"That's certainly a new approach to it. Is that where your preferences lie now, Hades?"
He flushes as he carefully levers the slice on to one of the plates and sets it between them.
"Well... I've had many centuries to think about it. But now that you are here, I feel that my preferences are whatever you desire of me," he says demurely. He looks towards Hythlodaeus, expression serious. "That is not to say I do not have preferences of my own. However, I would be willing to experiment."
That does not help Hythlodaeus regain his composure in the slightest. All that he manages is for his eyes to dart away from Hades, then come back, then look away again. Finally getting a grip on himself, Hythlodaeus remembers to close his mouth and clears his throat again, but words don't come to him nearly as easily as they normally do. His cheeks are noticeably flushed, too.
"Oh. Ah. You would? That is..." He stammers, feeling all the more embarrassed because of it. Get it together, Hyth!
Hades watches with a faint smirk as Hythlodaeus stammers a reply. He drops his gaze to the slice of cake, cutting out a small piece from the tip with his fork.
"Control. Restraints. And I suppose a bit of what they call 'roleplay'." He holds up the fork with the bite of cake on it for Hythlodaeus to eat.

[ He lifts a hand, still warm from the outside of his coffee mug, and caresses Hythlodaeus' own. ]
I don't need wild, public proclamations of love. We have already peered into one another's souls, we have made our pledges. What more do you need?

Oh, you know me, Hades. I can be quite greedy... Especially when it comes to people I like.
