{he also made me really good chicken and broccoli the one time i went to see him!! and his cat stole my damn broccoli wtf}

aether hums, pleased at the familiar heat of his husband's mouth pressed against his. he leans up into the kiss, giving diluc a few more pecks before pulling back slightly, honey golden eyes half lidded with amusement and contentment. "what was that for?" he asks, tone teasing as his wings stretch out wide behind his back. it's a display that aether does quite often around the other man.

perhaps he's showing off a little bit in an attempt to lure more kisses from his husband, perhaps it's just to stretch them since he'd been sitting for quite awhile now under the shade of a large tree. either way, the display gives the illusion aether is larger than he is, even whilst sitting innocently on the grass. "it couldn't possibly be because you missed me...," the sun archon continues, tapping his chin lightly as he pretends to ponder. not even a minute in, he shrugs and grins, "i give up, i guess you have to tell me."

diluc welcomes the pecks and soft kisses , kneeling down in front of his beloved . he hums , a smile gracing his features as his eyes stray to the beautiful wings . everything in him is tempted to touch , but he refrains for now .

he chuckles softly and he nuzzles aether's nose with his own . " mm , i did miss you , yes , but i also quite like the way you looked right now . i couldn't resist ~ " he murmurs earnestly .

Physical affection is... well, not foreign. Burnice and Caesar personally see to that for him. But it's certainly unusual, and especially unexpected from very cute proxies that make his chest feel like it's going to explode.

And yet, within moments of meeting up in the Outer Ring, Wise is tucking a piece of hair behind his ear, lingering in close. If he wanted to, he could easily remove the sunglasses too. It's a level of intimacy he wasn't prepared for, even if it is something small. A shudder runs down his spine.

Seth walks into Random Play with his tail flicking and ears flattened. He glances nervously at Belle as if she can somehow see through his casual clothes, to the surprise for his boyfriend underneath.

"Hi!" He squeaks the greeting and then scampers past before she can respond, up the stairs and knocking at Wise's door.

"You too?" Kinich offers Aether a small smile, kicking a pebble down the road where they're walking. She enjoys his company more than she'd expected. He's similarly quiet, a touch introspective. Not to mention shockingly humble for someone of his status.

"Hopefully it didn't sour things for you." She glances to the side. "It's... tough. But a true friend shouldn't let something like that spoil your bond." And really, she'd know. Mualani hadn't pulled away or been put off when she confessed her blooming feelings a few years ago. She'd just asked if Kinich would be okay, if she should do anything differently as to not upset her. That was enough, she thought, enough to say you're still important. Things don't have to change, not much.

She pauses, surveying the area. "There's a few yumkasaur nests around her. Careful, the babies are still pretty young, so the parents are extra vicious. Come this way." Without thinking, she takes Aether's hand, tugging him to lead him off the path into the clearing.

Wriothesley paces by the cafe table as he awaits Lyney. It's strange to be this nervous, but then again, who wouldn't be nervous about leaving the place they've lived almost all of their life?

He'd already narrowed down available houses so as not to drag Lyney to every corner of Fontaine. Now, it was just three left to review, and Lyney was going to lend his opinion. Wriothesley had yet to work up the courage to ask Lyney to look at them as a potential future home. To tell him he already planned on making a copy of the key to hand over (despite the fact that Lyney certainly did not need one to gain entry, but that was beside the point).

Finally, he spots the way the sun glints off of Lyney's blond locks. He's already smiling, anxiety settling as his boyfriend approaches.
