[And even while he's naturally fitting the curves and angles of his body against yours and enjoying that kiss, he's distractedly thinking about how this is actually a little strange: you and him in this house, of all places. It isn't awkward, it isn't wrong. It's just strange.
He used to avoid this house. It had once been his place with Alistair's, their first real attempt at having some sort of grounding that wasn't Japan or Ireland, and a space they could honestly call their own that did not have their baggage. Then 2012 had seen their relationship reach heights that it had never reached before, then crash and burn completely even as he tried to hold on to it.
Now, though, in as much as he loves Alistair just as much as he loves you (or Makoto, or Aria, or Katherine, or Liandrin, or any of the others who have come before you), this space is yours with him. There are no ghosts tonight, even with the talk that the two of you are going to have to have.]
So are you in the mood for Chinese tonight?
[Saying that with a soft smile once you've broken apart, as he's letting his fingers ghost over the side of your face.]
