Oh I absolutely want to if it's going to make your face any redder.
[ but with Hades leaning into his touch and definitely enjoying the closeness he can't find it in himself to stop, so instead he focuses on that, letting him look away but leaning in to kiss his forehead, his cheek, and then the corner of his lips.
It's a lot easier to be affectionate when he's not the one getting embarrassed from it, so really, Hades reacting like that is only spurring him on. ]
But I don't mind staying like this for a little while longer, instead. I could invite you to a proper dance another time.
[He takes the hand standing. At the question, he shakes his head and snaps his fingers. The telescope disappears, the lights darken, but with the overhead covering opening up there is more than enough starlight to see by and not trip. Also this type of mood lighting is good for hiding the blush, right?
He clasps on pair of their hands together and places the other on his shoulder, giving Five the lead role.]
Don't I cherish every moment with you? But have no doubts I will commit it to memory.
[ That's cheating, but he doesn't seem to mind right now — all the more so because the mood of this situation really hits him, and his face too goes slightly red.
But Emet doesn't need to know, and he will hum as he starts dancing with him — leading, obviously, and his form is as impeccable as reggie's training would have demanded ]
[ It's a perfect moment that he realizes only now how much he truly wanted, and really - doesn't that drive the point in further, of how much that game had shown his greatest desires?
But there's a little laugh at the comment ]
One of the advantages of memories feeling more recent than they are when you take them.
Considering it's a dream you could probably get us a better musical arrangement too, you know.
[ nevermind that he has control of this dream as well, he has to tease or Emet will catch on to the fact he's getting embarrassed a d his heart is beating impossibly fast ]
[ it's his turn to glance away because it's Too Much, and maybe Emet is regaining some ground here - but does it really natter when they're dancing under the stars and enjoying each other's company? ]
Well if you ask me nicely enough, maybe I'll consider dancing with you again.
[ i forgot to say the music arrangement kills me ]
I know you do.
[ and he is going to rest his forehead against his, letting his eyes fall shut ]
I love you too. But I am going to kill you and bury your body where no one can ever find it if you tell anyone that I'm like this when I throw caution to the wind.
[ oh no. He's the one getting murdered now. His entire face goes red at the kiss, and his movements stall though he keeps his arm around his waist, keeping him close ]
If I say you're right you're only going to get worse, aren't you.
[ he doesn't have a witty comeback to that, and really he doesn't feel the need to come up with one either. Instead he simply enjoys that touch, the physical presence against him, and keeps holding him like that ]
I don't know how you do it, but I really do feel happy when I'm with you. Who would have thought. This feels better than it did in that dream.
[ is it bad that right now he feels like he kind of wants to stay like this forever? Well. maybe not forever, they have matters to attend. but for a really long time.
He's going to bring his other hand to the back of his head, stroking his hair again as he just keeps him close ]
I am more accustomed to losing allies than gaining them.
But yes. Not only with the tools I sought to gain by approaching you the first time, but again and again you've proven your perspective to be ever wide. Your thoughts so different from our own.
And I truly await for the day when I can actually show her to you. Amaurot.

... I think this isn't so bad.
Re: Day 273 Night
And miss the opportunity to see you dance? I think not. Up with you.
Re: Day 273 Night
Good. You better cherish this moment, I'm not going to again any time soon.
Would you like to head to garden, then?

Well. So will I, actually.
Re: Day 273 Night
After all this time you remember it perfectly, do you? Of course you do, brilliant as you are.
[And he will rest his head against him as he listens to Five hum.]

Besides. I did dance with Delores.
Re: Day 273 Night
[Smiling and squeezing their joined hands as they move.]
And she loved it without a doubt. Just as I do.
Re: Day 273 Night
[ nevermind that he has control of this dream as well, he has to tease or Emet will catch on to the fact he's getting embarrassed a d his heart is beating impossibly fast ]
You know technically I haven't proposed.
[ But this just turned into a date, didn't it ]
Re: Day 273 Night
And he knows, Five, he knows. He can feel it as his heart quickens, too, but somehow that just makes him more relaxed.]
I do feel pampered regardless. Serves you right for all that teasing. And proposed or not, I would still share a thousand moments like this with you.
[it sure did]
Re: Day 273 Night
Well if you ask me nicely enough, maybe I'll consider dancing with you again.
For a thousand times more.
Re: Day 273 Night
[He kisses his cheek softly for once trying not to tease him. There would be opportunities for that later.]
And I suppose it goes without saying that I love you, Five Hargreeves, with all of my heart.
Re: Day 273 Night
I know you do.
[ and he is going to rest his forehead against his, letting his eyes fall shut ]
I love you too. But I am going to kill you and bury your body where no one can ever find it if you tell anyone that I'm like this when I throw caution to the wind.
Re: Day 273 Night
[He shuts his eyes for a moment, too, before tilting his head and kissing him with both hands going to the back of his neck.]
Besides, if you didn't shoot me for my behavior earlier I do surmise I can get away with anything.
Re: Day 273 Night
If I say you're right you're only going to get worse, aren't you.
Re: Day 273 Night
[He kisses him lightly on the corner of the mouth before resting his chin on his shoulder stepping in to hold him impossibly tight.]
Re: Day 273 Night
I don't know how you do it, but I really do feel happy when I'm with you. Who would have thought. This feels better than it did in that dream.
Re: Day 273 Night
Such flattery. You do know how to make me blush.
And I could say the same, the happiness, but you also bring hope to this old man's heart.
Re: Day 273 Night
He's going to bring his other hand to the back of his head, stroking his hair again as he just keeps him close ]
That we'll be able to save your world ...?

Re: Day 273 Night
I'll never forget it. It might not be as beautiful as Amaurot, but I do look forward showing you my world as well. You and Lahabrea both.
Re: Day 273 Night
[Slipping his hands to resting at his waist.]
Look how incredibly sentimental we have become.
Re: Day 273 Night
Re: Day 273 Night
[Resting his forehead against his.]
Shall we retire? I believe we've concluded what we came here to do, and I'm sure you could use actual rest.
Re: Day 273 Night
This has gone way better than I expected. But you're right - I need to rest and so do you.
