No. Your sleeping face is rather charming.

[blinged]

[Gil rolls over, pillow hugged to his stomach, and grins up at Tokiomi]

Liberal with your compliments today, aren't you?

[prebeard]

Should I not be?

[blinged]

No, do continue. It's cute.

[n_n]

[prebeard]

[h-hffff]

Honestly...

[blinged]

You started it, don't get embarrassed now.

[prebeard]

[too late!!

But he'll deal with it by laying across you so you can't get up. HAH! This is what really elegant boys do when love confessions have been had and they're going to die soon and no one is looking.]

[blinged]

[Gil gives a soft 'oof!' and wiggles, half escape attempt, half his way of settling contentedly beneath Tokiomi. Here is close, so here is just fine.

Seeing Tokiomi loosening up, being affectionate, being silly -- it didn't take long for Gil to claim those moments as his own treasures. Things only for him, because he fancies he's one of the few who's gotten to see this.

It doesn't matter if that's not true -- Gil likes to think it. Possessively.]

Now that's cheating.

[prebeard]

It's your own fault.

[he's even going to steal the other pillow so he can hide his face in it]

[blinged]

Mine? But I did nothing but take a well-earned rest! Do tell me how that makes this my fault.

[The faux indignance in his voice doesn't stop him from shyly reaching up to drape his arms around Tokiomi's neck.]

[prebeard]

[ff mashes his pillow into Gil's face instead]

You are perfectly aware of the situation.

[blinged]

That you bothered me until I woke?

[He laughs even when his retort is muffled by the pillow.]

[prebeard]

That I let you sleep in, you mean?

[blinged]

And then bothered me.

[Cue the shiteating grin]

[prebeard]

If it's such a bother, perhaps I'll spend the afternoon out of sight, then.

[blinged]

And if I told you it was pleasurable bother?

[prebeard]

Isn't that a contradiction?

[blinged]

It sounds like one, doesn't it? I can't really think of a better way to describe it, though.

[prebeard]

You're terrible at romancing me. You know that, don't you?

[blinged]

Well I have to be bad at something.

[prebeard]

[That kind of makes him laugh. It's true, it's kind of funny of Gil is so strong and perfect in every other way, and so awkward in this one. Tokiomi rolls off of him, lying next to him instead and reaching over to ruffle his hair.]

I suppose it's endearing...

[blinged]

If that's the case, then in the end you'd be charmed either way. Things could be worse.

Now...

[He leans into the ruffling]

Will you join me in bed or drag me out of it?

[prebeard]

I believe I'm already in your bed. A victory for your poor romancing, I guess.

[blinged]

One I will readily accept!

[He wiggles over, just close enough to lean in and press a kiss to Tokiomi's cheek. I's a bold action. Something that makes his heart race in a strange and pleasant way. Virginal, perhaps, but he doesn't begrudge the thrill of the action.

Gilgamesh promised he wouldn't fixate, but right now it's difficult. This scene, with the curtains drawn halfway over the afternoon sun and Tokiomi's comfortable weight beside him... it's like what Gilgamesh imagines "normal" to be.

Waking up beside someone important. Spending a quiet moment with them before going about his day. Knowing they'd see one another again that night. If he could abandon the war and live like that with Tokiomi, he has no doubt he'd do it. He wouldn't need the great and lofty task of managing the affairs of the world; keeping Tokiomi safe and happy would be satisfaction enough.]

[prebeard]

[He flushes at that, but doesn't shove Gil away this time. They don't have long, after all. There's no point in having regrets. It's still awkward, but... But maybe, as the one with more romantic experience, he should go ahead and take the initiative to kiss back for once -- on the lips.]
