s-extilis:
a hand slipped to the back of mark’s head, fingers pushing into his short hair, and briefly scratching at his scalp. the returned confession had him beaming, and he offered yet another kiss, a little more lingering but wholly affectionate. once they parted again, his arms simply came to loosely wrap around his neck, and he kept himself comfortably close with it. ❝ i suppose i’ve not had it in a while, so there’s no real harm in taking it back. i also take it that you do agree that it’s romantic, and that’s a small victory of its own. ❝
His arms slipped around his middle instead, loose but wholly intended to hold him in place. It was a little nice, he had to admit. He liked the though of sharing a name between the two and he would get used to eventually. A two thousand year old habit was still something he could break. ❛ It’s a nice name. ❜ He hummed again and chased momentarily after the kiss, lips pressing against his and remaining pressed for a beat or two. ❛ And yes, fine, it’s a little bit romantic. ❜
