[Even though he’s good at it, and wonderful at misdirecting an audience, Lyney doesn’t like seeing people hurt from his lies. And while he doesn’t mean to be so cagey and secretive, honestly… he’s more terrified of Heizou discovering just who he is, and what that might do to their relationship. This thing they have is so fragile and strange, he isn’t sure how damaging the nature of his real identity could be to it. Still, Heizou accepts his terms, and Lyney lets out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding.]
I’m glad… I’m sorry I can’t tell you everything, but… I’ll do my best to tell you as much as I can. And that’s the honest truth.
[He hopes that’s enough compromise for Heizou, but given the redhead’s relieved reaction, Lyney has a feeling it’ll be okay. When the hand brushes his hair, Lyney sighs and leans into it, basking in the touch. And seeing that relief, that tension vanish from Heizou… it makes Lyney’s insides stop knotting in anxiety.]
[Heizou shakes his head and smiles, dismissing the apology.]
There's no need to say sorry, my dear magician. I think you're already spoiling me enough.
[He leans up to press a gentle kiss to Lyney's forehead before settling back into the comfortable closeness they were in just moments ago. Smiling warmly while he just looks into Lyney's eyes.]
So if there's anything you'd like from me, you need only ask~
[He lets out a little hum, leaning against Heizou. That gentle kiss, the way they're sitting curled up together like this... it makes Lyney feel warm and secure. Secure enough to speak up once more.]
Then, is it alright to ask... if we can just spend the night like this, together?
[He's... honestly not minding this more simple intimacy.]
[The simple request surprises Heizou for a moment, eyes widening ever so slightly as he just blinks at Lyney. He'd expected something... more, maybe. After all, Heizou has asked him for what is probably more than he can even give (especially right now), and it would only be fair to give back just as much. This is such a sweet little thing, and it immediately has Heizou softening back into the same warm, happy smile as before.]
It's more than alright. [He lets their foreheads rest together and shuts his eyes with a content sigh.] And if there's ever anything else, at any time... My offer stays open~
[Though with that said, he snuggles in a little closer, sliding his arms around Lyney to pull him in against him. As requested, there's nothing sensual about it or anything; just a desire to stay close and warm.]
[It would be easy to just go back to that casual intimacy like nothing happened. But after sharing what they shared together, and working through their problems, Lyney feels strangely drained; drained in a way that he demands comfort and security, rather than intimacy and pleasure. So he nods, a content smile forming on his own face.]
Of course, I would be foolish to not accept your offer. But for now, if you're agreeable to it... this is enough for me.
[How funny it is, to seek out gentle cuddles rather than their usual heated activities. But as Heizou wraps his arms around him, Lyney finds himself curling up against Heizou's body, not unlike a cat seeking warmth and comfort. He curls up close, letting out his own soft sigh as he settles into the crook of Heizou's neck and against the space of his side.]
[Heizou frees up a hand for a second just to pull that blanket over both of their laps, and then settles back into this positioning easily. He has to smile a little as he rests his head against Lyney's, starting to rub little circles into the small of his back. This... is good. It feels good, getting to be tangled up together like this. It's new for them, though, and in some ways that's a little bit scary for Heizou. Like they're crossing some line that until now they'd both been fine with preserving.
But intuition says that this is good. And Heizou always listens to his intuition.]
It's enough for me, too. [He nuzzles his cheek against Lyney's hair with another soft sigh.] We can stay just like this for as long as you like, my dear magician.
