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.]

[ He'll move closer to him at that, and by now he's clearly used to selfies because he's totally posing for it properly ]

Feeling sentimental enough for pictures today?

We said we were going to try to memorialize more often no matter how large or small the event.

And I thought Wildfire would enjoy it.

I'm not complaining. But you are in charge of printing this one.

[ he'll shift so he can kiss his cheek, then ]

I wonder if you could get an app to make more like the ones that were available at Wildfire's graduation. Whatever it was called. I'm sure you'd look adorable with a suitable number of stickers around your face.

You have enough on your hands. Do not worry that I will take care of this. But sending a few every once in a while I'm sure will brighten his spirits. I know he was worried about you.

[Appreciating the kiss before pushing off his knees.]

Now I'm not going to put in that much effort. Besides, he can decorate them however he wants. Though honestly I believe you could purchase a machine such as that for Taisho if you so desired.

I was going to say that'd be ridiculous but now I almost want to see if I could convince Vergil to take one.

Now you are scheming properly!

[Tapping his temple.]

For later of course. I do believe we could both use a moment to ourselves, and I was promised company in the shade. That is, if it isn't too cold for you.

If it were too cold I'd only have to count on you to warm me. The shade will be fine, and you did bring a blanket.

Sappy, but truthful.

[He finds a nice spot then full of shade and sits pulling Five into his lap. Most importantly he's ensuring Five rests his head over his heart to be able to hear it beating. It has always been something that soothed him with Lahabrea. The sound anchoring that he is really there. Though the Heart of Sabik makes for an uncomfortable pillow.]

[ It is soothing - more than words alone would ever manage to be. He lets his eyes fall shut as he rests against him, and lets the beat if Emet's heart remind him that he is alive, he's there, and he doesn't have to be alone. He lets his warmth remind him of that, too, and slowly he starts to finally relax ]

Thanks, by the way. For not letting me drown.

I'm taller. It's only natural for me to hold you up.

[Running a hand through his hair.]

You are most welcome, Five Hargreeves.

Remind me to make you shorter on our next dream together.

How likely is it that I'll catch a cold if I decide to just sleep here against you?

Very unlikely.

Rest. Listen to nothing more than the wind, the sound of my heart, and your own breathing. I'll carry you back shortly hence the lack of worry about becoming ill.

Will you be there when I wake up, still?

What a worrier you've become.

[He kisses the top of his head.]

Of course I will.

Mm. Spoiled is more like it. Before I wouldn't have demanded that. But now I have you here, ready to soothe all my worries.

[ he'll just get comfortable against him, eyes still closed as he lets out a low hum ]

Goodnight, darling.

[He just laughs softly, a deep rumble going through his chest.]

May pleasant dreams find you, Five Hargreeves. Rest well.

[He's going to need the rest anyway with three new taishos soon. Have fun with that!]
