[ For a moment he presses into the touch, letting out a sigh as his eyes drift closed. There's a soft huff, just a hint of that caring grumpiness he occasionally has. The kind of grump reserved for friends. ]
But you wouldn't forgive yourself?
[ His turn to lift, pressing a kiss to a spot on his neck below the jaw. ]
[ That does earn a quiet breath, head tipping back into the brushing finger as he settles down. There's a soft hum, and then Kenma noses against him once more, sinking down for a lazy sprawl with the martial god. ]
Nothing wrong with that. Everyone's learning. I think.
[ He noses against him, curling up properly with a small shimmy forward. The half leg is at least convenient to tuck to the side of his hip, squeezing while his better leg folds back and does the same, that warm frame leaning into him with a gentle sigh.
Then another warm kiss, right on the lips this time, and his eyes close. ]
{Any reply is muddled and practically incoherent. Xie Lian is one exhausted deity! He relaxes fully against the cushions, still hugging Kenma to his chest. Letting go of his three-legged cat just isn't going to happen. Hopefully Kenma doesn't mind?
The kiss gets another mumble and then he is breathing deeply, quietly.}
[ Oh... He's out, isn't he? After a moment of uncertainty Kenma lets his budy relax, just clinging in that strong hold with a soft kiss to the diety's chin before he, too, gets comfy.
If he's stuck here, and by all means he doesn't mind one bit, he might as well make like a cat and nap. ]
{Sorry, he doesn't mean to fall asleep - but the comfortable position, the warmth between them and his relief is too much to resist. While he rests, he wants Kenma cat close. Just so he is certain he is safe and not suffering under the thumb of some psychopath.}
[ Curled up, cozy. A nice little doze as he settles down to nap.
This is more than just fine. He's become a lot more nap prone these days. They can wake up later and sort out food and stuff... or just cuddle and kiss. ]

I would...forgive you.
{Xie Lian mutters without doubt or hesitation. Then he smiles sadly.}
Since I did it once, I am capable of doing it again. My nature...is weak.
{His lips twitch and he presses a kiss to Kenma's nose.}

[ His turn to lift, pressing a kiss to a spot on his neck below the jaw. ]
You're pretty strong, to me.

I'm much harder on myself.
{Said kiss earns a little gasp and he relaxes back against the cushions, feeling...good. And heavy.}
In some ways. In others I feel like I'm just learning.

[ His voice fades away, comfortable, quiet.
Heavy might mean time to rest. Or curl up. ]

...stay with me?
{He doesn't want to be alone. Not even as he sleeps. What if -
No, he isn't going to think about any of it. Not right now.}

Lets get some rest. You need it.

Maybe a wrap there?

<3 Yes.
Fin!
