Maybe. But that just means I'd make you my personal project to study and entertain myself with.
I know you're always encouraging me to broaden my horizon as well, but rest assured I can keep doing that and stay at your side at the same time. No matter how I look at it, at this point my home is - well. You.
[ he's cute and he can't handle it. But hey, he's getting kissed, so that works just fine in making him stop teasing. But he is going to bring his hand to the back of his neck, keeping him as close as he can ]
[ oh. That's very nice. He doesn't move his hands but he knows what really wrecks Emet and so he focuses on aetheric touches, letting his aether caress his, gentle but firm, trying to pierce into his soul little by little ]
[His fingers pause and his breathe hitches as a small shudder racks his form. He could play coy, but he truly wants this now that he remembers. Remembers what he used to look like. So he holds onto him tightly, bowing his head.]
[ He doesn't think there's anything that sounds sweeter than Emet pleading for him. He keeps him waiting, sort of, letting himself pierce into his soul slowly still - but it's more because he needs to keep focus on his aether, still needing the extra help to do what he wants.
He lets himself enjoy Emet in the physical form too, kissing his jaw and neck, biting gentling as his soul starts merging with his ]
Every day. You really do surprise me with how much more I can love you every single day. I don't think I'll ever reach a limit with it.
[A whine escapes his lips as he stalls, being impatient. However, Five is gifted with a sweet sound when he does continue. It is half spoken, a half felt sound as he greedily tugs on the edges of his soul in a vice like grip.
He is not going to help with the kissing though as he’s trying to burrow his head in Five’s shoulder. Being difficult! But there is no doubt he appreciates each little kiss and bite and adoration.
And he doesn’t say anything but Five can feel the warmth start to seep through him at the words. Beginning to merge as they are, he will be able to feel the love returned but also a small undercurrent that he is more anxious, more worried than he usually is. He actually didn’t plan on having soul merging on the menu today, but he can hardly refuse.]
[ he's not surprised - not really. Between Elidibus' arrival and a younger version of himself reminding him of everything he can never be again, he can only imagine the doubts and fears swirling through his mind. And he's worried too, of course he is, but he's trying to focus on the love they feel for each other - on acceptance. For who he is now, the man he loves so greatly. ]
Talk to me. What has you so anxious?
[ He keeps his work with their souls, just as slow and steady, but his hands move under his clothes, trying to connect with him in as many ways as he possibly can ]
[Why is Five Hargreeves so good to him. On instinct he does initially pull back not wanting to ruin the dream, the kind dream, Five own mind has gifted.
But it is only for a fraction of a second.]
I can’t remember, not with such clarity, despite my efforts.
[And from their bond he means the memories taken by his other self and Hythlodaeus. How clear they are. The location. The faces of people. The brilliance of the sky. His own memories of those times are muddled are blurred in comparison.
He holds him back arching at the skin to skin contact in combination with the mingling of their souls.]
[ He doesn't need the soul merging to know how painful it must be for him. They've watched memories together countless times - but they are still memories of times so far away, of course details would be lost to time.
He shifts again, moving a little back just so he can take his chin in his hand, keeping his eyes on his, like he can pierce his soul with his gaze alone, without the need to do so through his aether. And for a few moment, he's quiet, just holding his gaze like that. ]
It will come back to you. And I can say it with certainty. Their faces, how beautiful the sky looks at home. Every memory and every feeling you had before you had to say goodbye.
The moment you're back there, it will come back to you. So while it won't soothe the pain now ...
[ he kisses his lips, soft and gentle as he tries to wrap his aether around him entirely, like he can protect him like this ]
[It takes not an insignificant amount of effort not to shrink or avert his gaze. To hide behind a layer of sarcasm and nonchalance. But he doesn’t. He would not insult their bond so.
Was he expecting him to cry? Because he does. Because as usual Five knows the words he needs to hear before he does.
So he buries his face in his neck and holds him tightly hiding in the safe cocoon of his aether.]
[ He'll wrap his arms around him so he can hold him, kissing the top of his head and just making certain to be a physical comfort too. It's always been difficult for him too, to know he'd forgotten things, his siblings faces, certain smells or tastes. Everything that was important to him. And the burden of being the only one who can remember. ]
I'm here with you. As usual. And I'll be there when it all finally comes back to you once more.
[He kisses his shoulder at the declaration. Their promise to each other. But their paths have always been similar for good or for ill. It helps them understand each other.]
... did it for you... when you returned? Could you remember with clarity those childhood memories.
A little too much, given that a lot of those weren't happy. And yet I was glad to remember all the same.
[ he knows the reassurance is exactly what Emet needs, and so he feels like sharing his own experience with him is probably the best thing he can do right now. ]
Something about sights and smells stimulating the brain. Sometimes it's bad, like with my flashbacks, and sometimes it's good. We'll make it a point to go to every place that has ever mattered to you. Trace back all your steps and make sure you get to reminiscence about it all once more.
Neither of us desire to forget even the most painful details.
[He listens to him, wrapped in his arms and his aether, ear pressed up against his heart. He is soothed, comforted, and reassured and the anxiety takes a quieter note.
Hands lift to cup his face as he brings their lips together to kiss him deeply.]
[ He kisses him back, warm and loving and trying to convey all he feels for him through just this one kiss, just as much as he's trying to through his aether and soul. ]
Would you like to stay inside me for a while?
[ A pause as he realizes how he worded it ]
Well, I meant your soul but I'm not opposed to other ways. Though I was thinking I could just ravage my beautiful fiancé when we both wake up in the morning. Before breakfast.

But I do desire you to go explore the world. You're getting quite good at making friends. Perhaps you simply needed some cut from a different cloth.

You simply can't keep murdering me in such a manner.

Can't I be honest without fear of killing you?
Re: Day 433 - ENDWALKER SPOILERS
No. Not in the least.

I would enjoy my ravaging now, warm and deep and engulfed in your hue.
Re: Day 433 - ENDWALKER SPOILERS

Re: Day 433 - ENDWALKER SPOILERS
