You certainly can be.

[Just saying!!!

Leon just leans up then, pressing their lips together gently, and murmuring there--]

You are being noisier now, even.

[majinken]

I'm not being noisy at all...

[he's being whiny, and there's totally!! a difference!! not that he's going to refuse kisses or do anything to pull away.]

Maybe you're just too quiet... [he sure did go to a flailing, sputtered love confesssion to this, like a quality dumb teenager.]

[discard]

[Yeah, okay, he's pulling away then to quirk an eyebrow at Stahn.]

Too quiet? What is that even supposed to mean?

[majinken]

[oh.

well, now he's been backed into a really stupid corner, because... he doesn't actually even have an answer for that. so leon will get a nice, awkward laugh.]

You're just... quieter than me...? Ahaha...

[discard]

I should certainly think so.

[Sheesh!

Leon gives him a flat look for a moment longer--but he can't actually make Stahn stew on this one for long. He's still too fond and happy about everything that happened thus far.

So instead he just sighs, but is mostly fond..]

Honestly. Some days I wonder about what goes through your head.

[majinken]

You know...

[it's fine like this, because stahn doesn't want to stew on it very much either. it's a lot easier to relax into a playful smile and press a kiss to leon's lips lightly.]

You could ask, and I'd probably tell you. ...I don't think there are any secrets anymore.

[discard]

[... Leon was not prepared for Stahn to turn that into something sentimental. He blinks, eyes widening, before he glances away sheepishly, clearing his throat.

After the kiss, of course.

That's important.]

... Well.

Be as it may [he knows] ...quiet evenings like these could certainly happen more often. [He'd be fine with that.]

[majinken]

[well, at least leon focuses on the important things. like the kiss.]

Mm.. I'd like that. Being like this, just... together.

I like this. [leon can try to draw away from the sentimentality of the situation, but stahn is feeling it right now. stahn likes being a little more warm and sentimental.

but he does also sincerely like being this way. curled up on the bed, enjoying the evening peacefully. they don't always get to do this—and not necessarily because they're doing something else together, either. but long missions, or just tiring ones have left leon more in need of sleep plenty of times, and it means that they can't always do this.

even though he always wants to. he'd spend every waking moment with leon this way if he could, really.

funny how that works, when you love someone this much, huh?]

[discard]

[Leon has to try to keep drawing away from the sentimentality, it's too much for him to handle.

But... well. It's also warm and nice. There's the knowledge that they don't have a limit on evenings like these; that sometimes his missions make him too tired to embrace them, or something they decide together that other activities are what they want--

But there will always be other evenings.

There will always be more time, and that's...it's perfect. So Leon sighs (a contented sound to be sure) and settles himself against Stahn's side properly.]

I suppose this is fine, yes.

[He likes it too.]

We can do this whenever we please. Nothing shall stop us.

[majinken]

[it's moments like this specifically that serve as a good measure for why stahn loves leon so much.

though he's not particularly romantic or sentimental, he has his moments. moments like this, where everything from his tone to his body language speaks louder than words; the way he relaxes against stahn, the way he sighs, the way the words are spoken even if the phrasing isn't particularly warm...

stahn knows wholly and completely that it's born from love.

so stahn pulls leon a little closer to him, shifting slightly so he can warmly kiss the top of leon's head.]

Mm... I'm glad. I want to keep doing this.

[discard]

[It's comfortable.

It's comfortable, and it's familiar, and Leon lets his book drift from his hands and to the bed as he settles into Stahn's grasp. It's early yet, and he's not ready to sleep, but... on the other hand, he doesn't want to go back to reading either.

He just wants to soak up this moment--this moment of peace, quiet and warmth, and the knowledge that here and now.

He's entirely loved.

And so he nods gently--and does nothing else, satisfied to accept that. He, too wants to do this more. And that's enough.]

[majinken]

[he's loved.

stahn loves leon in ways that he's sure nobody else could, because it comes wholly and sincerely from stahn's heart. he loves leon with everything he has, and now that he's expressed it in words, he feels that somehow, he's really made it clear in every way he possibly can.

he loves leon.

it feels right to bury his face in leon's hair and seek out his hands to thread their fingers together. it just feels right; intimate in its way, but comfortable and war.

...he'll be content to stay this way for quite a while, so long as leon will let him.]
