[It is very successful at getting him to look away and color to dust his cheeks not only by the actions but by the words.]

The lion's share is yours already. Your family seems quite small to the all the inhabitants of my star for which you do labor. But I do this without hesitation for them and primarily for you.

[He kneels pulling him into a tight embrace.]

'Tis only what you deserve for being so insufferably charming and considerate.

[ he seems quite satisfied with the victory, and he can't help but smile at the look on Emet's face. Of course he returns the embrace the moment he's pulling him in, and takes the chance to kiss his cheek ]

You realize I can say the same about you. Everything I do for you, my love, cooperation and protection, you've more than earned it. And it's nothing less than what you deserve.

You have successfully won me over more than a hundredfold times over. I imagine you are going for a higher score with such sweet words. More often than not I marvel at your ability for compassion and empathy.

[He keeps the hold enjoying the return embrace and the affection.]

And don't think I'm not aware that bullying me does lift your spirits for the reverse is true.

[ There's a little laugh at that, and he hums ]

I will neither confirm nor deny but I will say that my spirits are considerably lifted right now. Whether it's because of the adorable look you gave me or just because you're embracing me, I won't say.

Then allow this old man to guess.

[He picks up him as he stands ensuring the blanket is draped over him.]

And where would we be if we did not ruffle each other's feathers. Is that not half the enjoyment of our relationship both friendly and romantic?

[ By now he's not even complaining about being picked up anymore, he's just going to bring an arm around his neck and stay right there ]

I don't imagine either of us would have held the others' interest for long otherwise, no. Though you've definitely displayed more of a passion for getting under my skin than the other way around.

I'm innocent, really. If anything I've just followed your terrible, terrible role model.

I have to find my entertainment somewhere to pass the eons, don't I? And it is not just me, I did watch Lahabrea enjoy himself immensely at the party. He is quite skilled at maniuplation.

[He kisses the top of his head as he continues walking. Though really this is so he could go at his own ridiculously slow pace.]

No one is perfect. A fact that we can both agree is a good thing. But you could have picked another as your role model. Shu perhaps? And where would you be then?

Probably still in the middle of a monologue that no one cares to hear. He is quite long-winded.

As for Lahabrea he is a terrible friend and I'm never speaking to him again, ever. Such betrayal.

Then I suppose I simply must do.

Oh, you enjoyed it. Of that I have no doubt.

[When he arrives at a nicely landscaped area he will kneel and let him down.]

It was fun to play games like an idiot with no other worries. I was a little ridiculous and I said ... a significant number of embarrassing things ... but you're right, it was fun.

[ he pauses as he's let down, and once again, he reaches for his hand to take ]

And you better agree that I am the better kisser.

[He holds it.]

And if I don't?

I'll just have to kiss you until you change your mind, I guess. On our next shared dream.

I won't deny you are skilled considering your recent addition to the race. But I must be scholarly after all. Lahabrea is the better kisser.

[And honestly, he only benefits by stating this.]

But do not lose heart. There are many other reasons I did decline to play the drinking game with you in public considering your score between us in private.

Well. Consider me properly fired up, I'm already feeling competitive. He is cute, I'll give him that much.

But it is for the better that at least one of us was reasonable enough to do that, I would have died of embarrassment afterwards otherwise.

I will enjoy reaping the benefits of this academic endeavor.

I do plan on using it against you someday just to see that, but I thought I would spare you. Ever am I so generous.

[He runs his thumb over the back of his hand, calm and soothed. But then that is how he always feels just being near Five.]

Really. Thought it was more likely that I was already doing a good enough job embarrassing myself so you didn't think you needed to add on it.

You are surly when you are drunk, but like everything else you manage to make it endearing. At least to me.

Besides, can you truly say you didn't enjoy yourself?

Delores said that all the time too. But yes, I did have fun, and Black going overboard aside, I appreciated that Cypher took the effort to organize it.

... Though I'm pretty sure it was for his own sake more than mine. He has a crush on Klaus.

Complications then. Neither of them are mature in that department. None of you and your siblings are... were.

Though of the two Klaus maybe more competent.

Cypher did say he thinks he's in love. Which is concerning, considered the objects of his affections is my brother, and also that they barely know each other.

Not to mention that as you pointed out, neither are particularly mature. But if it hadn't been for that game and Wildfire's prodding and your proposal I may never have actually understood my own feelings so I may not be the best one to judge this either.

We loved long before then. It just wasn't romantically.

[He pauses to think.]

Not that I'm against Cypher. Honestly, I find him quite companionable to be around, but I do wonder if the act of being in love is more important the person themselves. I am not discouraging it, but perhaps I will simply keep a closer eye. Though learning together is half of the fun. I would not deprive them of it.

That's what I've been wondering as well. In his case he might be mistaking feelings of love for being in love, given that he's never had the attention before.

And considering Klaus may be similarly inclined, I won't deny it's concerning. But I will not stand in their way. It's not my business, regardless of how much I hate that this place is seeing fit to have people confessing to me they're having sex with my brother.

[He can't help but smile a little at that.]

Can we not be accused of the same? Though instead of words we use a pair of rings.

I was about to say a pair of rings is a little more discreet, but then again.

We did get intimate in public so I can't exactly use the word "discreet" anymore.

I was watching for other idols as I assumed the staff had seen worse, but point taken. But no scandalous photos showed up on either of our doors. Though speaking of photos.

[He kneels tugging Five to lean on his knee while he pulls out his camera for a selfie.]
