[It's cute, really.

Stahn's warmth, the fact that of all things, this is what gets Stahn to blush... it's all cute and somewhat sweet, and Leon's lips quirk into a smile despite himself. Thankfully, then Stahn's cupping his face in his hands and kissing him, which helps him hide that smile; Leon leans into the kiss gently as well, humming lightly.

This isn't anything Stahn has to thank him for--if anything, Leon thinks he should probably be thanking him. For not holding back, for embracing this, for everything he does.....

But for now, he just responds by pressing their lips together again, another gentle, insistent kiss, and his lips curve into a smile even against Stahn's lips. When he finally pulls away, he still looks pretty content.]

There's no need for that. [No need for thanks at all--because honestly?] This is the relationship we've chosen to have, and this is simply part of that.

[Sex, but also sharing baths and being able to be this intimate together--that's what they've added to their relationship, and it feels right.]

Naturally we will continue to do so in the future as well.
