Don't apologize for that.

[ And he's drawing you back into his arms, right up against his body, mouth slanting over yours. He's going to kiss you for a little longer than he normally would, but without the heat that would usually push you both to hightail it for a private space. Just a long and heartfelt kiss that echoes the words you've given him.

When he breaks off though, there's a grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. ]

You sure about that?

[ He's teasing, by the way. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

Yeah.

[Why wouldn't he be? You've both come a long way, even if some people - other practical immortals included - might scoff at it "simply being a matter of months".

One thing he's learned because of his "condition"? Every fucking second counts.]

[ The look in his eyes is softening at that. He's also tracing a thumb across your cheek. ]

I've had a number of really amazing things come into my life in the last couple of months... [ that's one hand skimming down the length of your arm before he catches your hand and threads his fingers through yours. ]

You're the one that tops that list though.

[ Yes, he's lifting your hand and pressing a kiss over your knuckles. ]

Let's go? [ He's ready to bounce when you are. ]

[It's horrible how, in spite of the fact that he's a little above a thousand years old, those words and that last thing you pull makes his chest light and his stomach flutter in a way that probably shouldn't happen to somebody like him.

You're something else, Mister Joshua LaRue.]

Let's.
