Hey, this is the inbox of Kozume Kenma! I'm probably not here!
Leave a message and I'll text back when I cat. Probably pretty quickly.

{Kenma's focus has weight to it and though Xie Lian wants to look away, he is fixated on those cat-like eyes. His embarrassment increases when their activities are labeled as "fun" and he shakes his head at himself. He must be overthinking again.}

I've seen how you can ignore everyone with your games. I'm honored to have your attention.

{He shakes his head again, smiling.}

You know how long I've lived and yet, even though I'm married, I have such little experience with...affection. I like being close to you, Kenma. Being here hasn't been easy for anyone - you especially - but having something like this makes it worthwhile.

Mmmmh, there's been a few challenges but...
It's been nice, to spend this time with everyone. You especially. It doesn't really matter if you're immortal, right?

[ His arms relax, falling loosely around Xie Lian's shoulders with a soft sigh. Ageless or not, they're both only here as long as this world seems to whim it. ]

I don't want to make you uncomfortable... But, small stuff like this is nice, too. I enjoy it. [ His head tilts, curious now they're on the topic. ] Is it a bit too much?

No, it doesn't matter. {It just feels like a gulf of time and experience lies between them. Xie Lian is aware that he could harm Kenma. He knows what it's like to be taken advantage of - to be wrapped around someone's finger as they torture him again and again.}

I care about you, Kenma. I want you to know that you are free to do and say anything you like with me. I will do all I can to protect you, but I will never, ever use you.

{He smiles sadly and kisses Kenma's forehead.}

I enjoy it too. My heart...hurts. I'm lonely when I'm by myself. I know I'm being silly. I won't be here forever, but then we're plagued with nightmares or curses and -

It reminds me of times I want to forget. You've helped me so much.
