[ feelings are so hard. ]

[leonheartedly]

[feelings are really hard.

He still has his hand so he squeezes it again and, very softly]

You're my person, too.

[afineknight]

. . . ha. I really am glad.

[leonheartedly]

[he smiles and lets go of his hand, giving him some space back]

I'll stop bullying you now.

[afineknight]

For what it's worth, it does not bother me too much. And it is only fair.

[leonheartedly]

I know. If it bothered you, I know you'd tell me to stop.

[afineknight]

Si. But I have not.

[leonheartedly]

No, you haven't.

. . . might be backing off a little because it's a lot for me, too.

[afineknight]

We can just move past it. That's fine.

[leonheartedly]

[he hums softly, nodding]

. . . I don't know how you're not exhausted.

[afineknight]

I'm alive.

[ He says it with a shrug. ]

[leonheartedly]

You are.

[a little cheeky] I checked.

[afineknight]

That's enough to shake anyone awake.

[leonheartedly]

Yeah, it sure woke me up.

[afineknight]

The sex or the alive part?

[leonheartedly]

Yes.

[afineknight]

That's fair.

[leonheartedly]

I'm planning on checking again later.

[afineknight]

Good. I would expect no less from you.

[leonheartedly]

I'm thorough.

[afineknight]

Hmm.

[ He gives him another smile, then tugs at his hand, nodding over at the bed. ]

Oye. We should probably talk about a few things. Nothing serious, but ehh . . . navigating this, moving forward.

[ and then moves to sit at the edge of the bed. ]

[leonheartedly]

[he tilts his head, but he does move to sit next to him]

Nothing serious, he says . . . [but he says it lightly]

[afineknight]

Mostly, ehh, staying together. At night.

[ He leans back, considering. ]

Apparently, it's not a good idea to stay separated from one's flock for days on end.

[leonheartedly]

[his eyebrows furrow a little]

That's - good to know. Where'd you hear that?

[afineknight]

Honestly? I forget. It was something I heard awhile ago.

[ He nudges him lightly. ]

But I think we can make it work, eh?
