onlythans: (💔 i am through with this)

I left out "because you'll always find something to take me to task for because you're an irrepressible bastard", but that certainly comes into consideration, as well.

[But — what a great deal to unpack here, and not just to unpack but to take and turn over and consider and treasure. How far they've come from that day in the ball pit bar, when he'd been wary even of making contact at all, when falling into a kiss had seemed scandalous and unprecedented. Now look at them: Ryn, with all his fears of vulnerability, all his hangups of being exposed, bare as his nameday and cuddled up against him and welcoming every touch, of seeking it out of his own volition.

He can't help but smile, either, as the mystery of the coat is laid bare, as well. He'd wondered, but it's so much more rewarding and sentimental to hear it.]


I suspected, I confess. About the coat and your answer both. So let that be what I am to you, after all: whatever word you choose, whatever best fits the moment — anything, so long as you promise to append 'dalah to it.
onlythans: (💔 you can ride it)

Cruel of you, when you've not taught me that one. Only — what's this, then? A hazarded guess, regardless?

[His tone turns teasing, in that way that suggests barely-repressed laughter, as he very nearly singsongs: ]

O'surfal'a. O'surfal'a. You've nowhere to hide, now that I know your secret: o'surfal'a.
onlythans: (💔 it's not your fault you)

Such lies your mouth tells while your body speaks volumes. I thought you wanted me to be more romantic?

[And he reaches up fondly, settling one hand at the back of Ryn's head as if to protect it, showing his approval for the way he hides his face in the crook of his shoulder. It's fitting, after all, and right, and warm. It feels like you need me to go first all over again — giving voice to the words and reaping the benefits of both Ryn's fluster and his tacit confirmation both.]

I've not even begun to torment you with all the ways I know to be romantic, pretty thing.
