Very well. {The little bump earns a soft smile and, in answer, he kisses Kenma warmly, carefully. He embraces the other to him and gives a little sigh.}
[ The secret is, Kenma's a LITTLE greedy, sometimes. He likes Xie Lian and he likes these bits of affection, so sometimes it's easy to get lost in them. Perhaps he should spare a little more thought for the other's past and relationship. Is this really fine?
But then, arms draw him in and he can't help but lean in for a longer kiss, visibly sinking into the touch. ]
{If Hua Cheng turns up, Xie Lian will be honest with him. But he doubts the ghost will hold this against him - or Kenma for that matter. It's thanks to Kenma, in part, that Xie Lian has been able to keep his sanity.
And what's wrong with showing affection? He smiles at the way Kenma relaxes in his arms, pressing further kisses over his friend's cheek.}
[ And these two are sponges for it, aren't they? His eyes slip closed, casually nudging up into each kiss and encouraging Xie Lian further. Fingers curl, arms pull, and he's happy to keep drawing him in.
{Sponges. Yes. His kisses continue, pressing against Kenma's temple as he tries to tuck the other man as close as possible. He might have lived for eight hundred years, but he has done so as a teenager - with all the awkwardness that entails. It's nice to be calm and comfortable with someone without expectations.}
I've decided on my next wish. I want to show you one of my swords.

[ His arms fall, slipping around Xie Lian's middle to draw him in, comfortable, just resting on his lap in this quiet, cozy intimacy. ]
You've helped me just as much. However long we're here, I'll be around. Don't worry.
[ Neither of them can promise to stay forever, they have no control over that, but he can offer comfort while he's here, as long as he's here. ]
no subject
I promise you the same. However long we are here, I will protect you and comfort you.
{And hope that Kenma returns to a kind world that appreciates him.}

His head tilts forwards, eyes slipping closed with a soft lean, hair parting between his fingers with a smooth draw. Mmh- gosh that's nice. ]
I know... That's the kind of person you are.
[ His fingers curl in, gently brushing along the small of his back with a sigh. ]

Just like a cat. He can't resist pressing a kiss to Kenma's cheek.}
Do you mind?
{He really should ask that more often.}
no subject
Not at all.
[ His head tips, sloowly bringing his nose to bump into the other's with a gentle nudge. ]
We can kiss more, while I'm here. If you want-

[ Briefly lost in the moment. His eyes flutter, brushing his cheek into Xie Lian's chin and peering up as they sink into each other. ]
Does that... Mean a lot to you?
