I'm pretty sure that's just going to make me think of you as well.

[ but he does seem to be fine just relaxing next to him, just enjoying the warm water and Emet's presence. ]

It's either you or the equations, you can't have neither.

Then I can only hope I'm the more relaxing of the pair.

[He leans against him as well more boneless than hunched before taking his glass and downing the rest in one go.]

And as nice as it would be to stay in here for a long while more, we will need to get out eventually.

As fond as I am of math, plans and scheming, you are the more relaxing option. And the more charming as well.

[ He's going to do the same because he doesn't want to waste wine, but once that's done, he'll just get up and get out of the tube, putting up the bath robe before handing Emet's to him ]

We can have a repeat another time. I could get used to this.

[He was the one to complain about pruning, yet he is the one that huffs ineffectually at being pulled out of the warm water. He tosses a bath robe after thanking Five quiets stretching out his shoulders.]

Shall we retire then? And do you actually want to get rest tonight or would you like more spirited activities. You are getting company either way.

We can retire and figure out the rest later.

I was thinking of inviting you to another dance, at least.

[He flops on the bed pulling the to drape over them when the both get settled.]

Even more spoiled I become. I do believe we are following our dear speaker's request to the letter. I don't believe I will need a sleeping potion either. Your presence should be more than enough.

To be honest after all that I'd be surprised if either of us would need it. And for once I don't even have to put weapons aside.

[ since he already discarded everything. He'll move in closer so he can rest his head on Emet's chest, clearly enjoying the closeness ]

But yes, rest assured I intend on continuing to spoil you for as much as I'm able to. Especially since you've managed to make me blush twice just earlier - I can't allow you this victory.

[He wraps his arms around him tucking them both into the covers. And he laughs lightly at the comment.]

Well, then I won't spoil the secret of how well you were doing. If you can't see it, did it really happen after all?

[And he sighs contentedly closing his eyes.]

How is it that I've come to love you so much in such a short time?

To be honest I keep asking myself the same. I have no idea what I can possibly have done to earn it. But I'm grateful for it all the same.

[ He closes his eyes as well, and then in a much softer tone ]

I love you.

As do I.

[Kissing his forehead.]

Rest well.

[And he's going to fall asleep just listening to his breathing and and soft shuffling he makes.]

[ It doesn't take him long to fall asleep — between all the excitement and the extra relaxing time spent in the bath it's easy to just let sleep take him regardless of any plans he might have for their shared dreams.

That's not surprising.

What might be surprising is that tonight is one of the rare times he's not having nightmares. When Emet finds him in his dreams he'll find him at the same pier they were in last time. It's a lot less elaborate, the stands around them are gone and there isn't the same background chatter, but it's clear the place Emet created for him made enough of an impression that it's where he finds himself this time, when his dreams are peaceful.

They're not out in the sunlight either, it's night, and there's only the light of the moon and stars above them. And when Emet joins him in the dream, he'll immediately offer a hand out to him ]

I was waiting.

[He is surprised and he offers a smile, taking his hand and stepping in close.]

I had not expected the impression to be this impactful, but I am glad for it. You have enough nightmares to deal with during your waking hours. Your dreams should be your refuge.

As if every moment I spend with you isn't impactful. I literally just told you how embarrassing it's getting.

[ he'll step in closer and move his other arm around his waist and as promised, he'll start dancing with him, taking the lead ]

... But admittedly, I was surprised as well. It is rare without Baritones intervention.

Dare I say you might becoming truly happy? I know I am. Truthfully, I can't remember the last time I felt like this.

[He falls into step, hand on shoulder, gaze locked, and appropriately a few inches shorter.]

[ He absolutely enjoys being taller no matter what he said about being happy with Emet's appearance regardless. He's keeping his eyes on him as well, on his face - not wanting to miss any second ]

... You do make me happy. You have for a long time. It's one of the things that scared me the most when we started to get to know each other.

And if there was any doubt left, you would be an eleven on that trust scale now.

I must have broken some record going from four to eleven in such a short amount of time.

[He breaks his gaze for just a moment to marvel at the scenery. He has yet to change anything in the dream but his own appearance after all. And after another moment, he does shift his position wordlessly asking for the lead.]

Can I possibly even mark you on the scale anymore? I wonder. My heart is simply full having you here with me. And I would do my best to make sure you never regret this choice.

[ Hades asking for the lead surprises him, and there's a moment of pause as he considers — but eventually he concedes, adjusting himself in the process ]

I will never regret it.

I'm not saying things will always be like this. I want to stay at your side forever, but I know we have no way of being certain that will happen.

But no matter how painful it will be if I'm ever to lose you, I will absolutely not regret it. I'd rather miss you for a lifetime than waste any moment we can have together.

And as for other worries that may be running through your head, drop them immediately. There's nothing you can do that will ever make me change my mind, and you're not the monster some idiots think you are.

[He keeps the same pace and the same style of dance as he takes the lead.]

I know. I know. On so many accounts. The worries have long since fled that you would oppose me, turn away from what we have. Always will I know that you have my best interest in mind even when I myself can't fathom it, to see me for who I truly am. And for this I cannot thank you enough.

And perhaps yet we may part. 'Tis no denying this truth. But neither of us are bound by mortal timelines. And that does give me hope that even it takes another thousand lifetimes I will find you by my side again.

While I do love my brethren, Lahabrea, Elidibus, it would not be complete without you there. You will forever have a part in my soul. Unwavering. 'Til the end of days.

[He orchestrates the dance, pace changing the steps to allow him to dip Five low with one hand resting securely on his back.

And then he leans down to kiss him deeply and passionately.]

[ That's entirely unfair, he planned to be the one to sweep Hades off of his feet, romantic speeches and all - and yet here he is, losing to him all over again. In a really nice way.

There's a little surprised noise against his lips at the kiss, at the intensity of it and at Hades dipping him low, but he doesn't hesitate to return it, matching his pace as his hand clutches at his clothes.

It really is unfair how much he loves him. ]

[Spoilers: Hades already lost the moment he stepped into the dream.

He breaks the kiss still holding him in that dip, still close as he keeps his gaze on him. He lifts his free hand and snaps, giving him the Sight.]

I had pondered the stage for a while now since our last dream encounter. Where would be the best place, the best experience to rightfully show you the adoration I had for you?

And here, this moment, you own dreams conjuring a space so peaceful, so serene. Your heart at ease. Is there be no better place?

[ He has to fight the instinct to glance away with how red his face goes at that gaze and his words, but the Sight does help with that, giving him something else to focus on.

The color of Hades soul.

And like last time he tries to touch his soul, just a light touch for a few seconds, but the intention and desire for that connection is there and obvious ]

... The stars are shining above us and we just finished taking a bath together. I really don't think we're going to find a better time and place.

Edited 2020-09-13 22:53 (UTC)

[He keeps his gaze knowing a challenge would help Five in some way --- to focus him, to help get rid of someone of the shyness --- truthfully he cares not for the exact details.]

In the waking world I know your vessel makes you uncomfortable, and to some degree I share your sentiment. Ever will you have my embrace, a shoulder to lean on, every comfort, every assurance you will ever need.

[And there is soul touching. He stiffens and melts at the same time, a possessive desire that flashes through his entire expression. A sound of want slipping through his lips.]

But here. Nothing can be off limits as all is within our control. Tell me your boundaries so that I ensure to respect them.

[His soul, his aether reaches out and wraps around his waist petting his back, his sides, a hip, but not attempting to merge. Not yet anyway.]

[ Hades is right and taking it as a challenge does help, but it's the look he gives him, the sound that slips past his lips that really make him push past it. It's all too easy to think he wants to see more of it, and the touch of Hades' soul feels nice and comfortable and familiar.

So he shifts lightly, hand reaching for the front of his clothes to force him down into a kiss again and just like earlier, it's deep and passionate and hungry.

And then he's trying to pull him further down, trying to get them both to lay right there on the ground. ]

There's enough limits when I'm awake in a child's body. I am definitely not placing any here.

If it's something I don't want I will tell you. Isn't that enough?
