[ Squall just lets himself fall backward into the bed, tugging Sora along with him. He leans up to steal a peck for himself.]

Sometimes I think I'm going to drown in you and your love... and when I think, that I realize more and more that I would gladly drown if it meant I was surrounded by you.

[Sora lets out a soft breath as they whump against the bed. Once they're there Sora smiles softly. A hand reaches to pat Squall's cheek teasingly.

That's such a sweet thing to say. Squall doesn't say things like that very often so Sora feels a little embarrassed.]

That's so sappy...

[ He laughs at that, feeling his own face heating up. It really was sappy, wasn't it? When did he become like this? When did he starts spouting out such embarrassing things to Sora? It must be because of Sora. He's gotten such a tight grasp on Squall's heart, melting every single layer of a defense he's ever put up. He really had no other chance.

Squall tugged Sora closer to steal another kiss from him, even going as far as to nip at his bottom lip playfully. ]

I blame you for that.

[It's not like Squall doesn't have a secure hold over Sora's heart, too. Squall is on his mind all the time. When he thinks of him his heart feels full. They've been together for a long time now in this world that lets them be. He doesn't want to think of the day that one of them might go home and the heartbreak that would come with it. Right here and right now is all he wants. Wrapped up with Squall and loving him as much as he can.

Sora's fingers wander up Squall's chest. Playing with the fabric of his shirt collar before running his fingers over the familiar crown pendant Squall wears now. There's a heat inside his heart and Sora is so drawn to Squall and wants more of him that he feels like he can't calm his heart down.]

I guess it is my fault. But I wouldn't change anything about that.

[#noregrets]

[ Squall lets out a soft sound as he feels those soft hands trail up his chest, his heart picking up a little more speed. A strange mixture of chill and warmth fills the room with speckles of pink floating around the two of them. ]

You just bring... so many different sides of me out that I didn't even realize were there.

[ His voice almost sounded a little shaky. It wasn't that this feeling was making him nervous or anything, it's just so much warmth seemed to be surrounding them right now and he had to take a few breaths. His hand moved upward to cup the side of Sora's face.]

Is it greedy of me to be happy that I'm the one who did it and gets to see those sides...?

[Sora blinks at Squall and observes those pretty icy blue eyes.]

Are you okay?

[Squall seems a bit shaky. Maybe nervous, but maybe not. Sora feels curious and a little giddy, himself. He brushes Squall's leg with his foot and plays again with the crown pendant.]

[ That first question gets a soft laugh out of him. Greedy? He wouldn't really say it's greedy. Besides, who else would even want to see those sides of Squall besides Sora? Squall lets his thumb lightly stroke his cheek. If Squall were to be honest, it makes him feel a little warmer hearing Sora say this.

He paused his movements when Sora spoke up again, his cheeks growing warmer.]

'm fine. It's just...

[ He doesn't want to to say the words out loud, just how warm Sora was making him. ]

I like this.

[Say it out loud, Squall...

Sora can pick out a few names that might be more than happy to see these softer sweet sides that Squall has. One name, in particular, is in the back of his mind but he doesn't mention it.

He moves in for another soft kiss, murmuring gently against Squall's lips.]

I like this too.

[ Swallowing back his nerves, Squall kisses him back, maybe a little too eagerly. His one arm wraps around him, resting at the small of his back, wanting to keep him close. Could Sora hear his heart racing or was it being drowned out by his own heart? ]

I think I've decided something.

[ He leaned in once more, his lips lightly brushing against Sora's as he speaks again. ]

I don't think I'm letting you go today.

[He feels his heart flutter. There's an increasing warmth in his chest as he kisses lightly at Squall's lips. It sends a tiny shiver of pleasure down his spine.]

Holding me hostage isn't very romantic.

[Joking. He'll stay! He chuckles softly as his hands wander back down Squall's chest to his stomach and then hip as he plays with the bottom hem of Squall's shirt.]

No?

[ Squall can't stop the little grin forming on his lips. It's a side effect of too much Sora in your life. He leaned in to take another kiss from him, while his hand on his back lightly slips under the fabric of his shirt to lightly brush his fingers against his skin. ]

Then you'll have to teach me how to be more romantic.

[Sora murmurs happily, lips kissing Squall back slowly this time. He lets out a tiny shiver when he feels Squall's fingers against his skin.]

Keep doing that, for one. The smiles and the touches.

[The smiles and the touches. Sora can't get enough of those.]

Ready for more sappiness...?

[ Squall leans in for another slow kiss, keeping Sora as close as he can while his fingers start to move up and down his back slowly. Just gentle callused touches.]

Luckily for you, the one thing that really makes me happy is staring at me right now.

I'm happy when you're happy...

[That is so cute and sappy... Sora's heart flutters again as he lets out a small pleased whimper at the feeling of Squall's wandering hands. He kisses Squall back just as slowly, his tongue peeking to touch Squall's again.]

[ How an afternoon of piercing Sora's ear turn into a make out session Squall will never know, and honestly he wouldn't want to complain about it either. He craved this feeling of warmth, being surrounded by all of Sora's feelings. Before this feeling intimidated Squall, but now it's something he craves more and more.

Squall's lips part again to feel Sora's tongue, to feel even more warmth as his hands continue making light touches up his back. ]

[There is a tiny electric feeling that sparks down his spine with Squall touching him so much. He wants more of it so he shifts a little closer. His fingers play at the bottom of Squall's shirt before they dip underneath to touch the skin at his hip and then navel.

Still kissing, Sora feels a little breathless and very warm. Some gentle little fireworks of gold dust pop quietly in the room around them.]

[ Squall takes in a sharp breath, the feeling of Sora's fingers on his own skin made him jolt with excitement. He really enjoyed it when Sora worked up the nerves to touch him like that. His skin felt like it was on fire where Sora was touching along with his face. ]

You know, I always tease you about being cute... but you're looking a little more handsome lately.

[ Okay maybe he was teasing a little more, but he really wanted to see a sparkle on his face. ]

[That makes Sora surprised and he blinks at Squall, moving his head back just a little bit so he can see him.]

R-really?

[For some reason that makes Sora feel flattered and a little embarrassed. He's always been 'cute' or 'babyface' or 'average' and he's not anywhere as close as attractive as Squall or even Riku are. Those two... Are the pretty ones. The handsome ones. He's just Sora. Pretty plain in comparison...]

I know I tease you a lot, but yeah...

[ While one hand stays on Sora's back, lightly touching his skin still, the other hand reached up to work through Sora's hair, pushing his hair out of his face while doing so. There was a warm expression on his face, his eyes taking in every inch of Sora's face. ]

It's embarrassing to say it out loud but... you really are getting more handsome. When you're out with your friends, when you're busy concentrating on the little things that interest you... my eyes never seem to leave you. You know?

Geeze...

[He thought he'd take a compliment like this a little better. But he finds himself flustered and a little lost for words. It's times like this that Squall sometimes reminds him of Leon a little bit. The shape of his expression or a look in his eye. And that feeling of pride he'd get in his stomach when Leon would say something nice to him.

But this, of course, it a little bit different. Squall says it with affection behind his words. And yet that feeling in the pit of his stomach still makes him a little giddy.]

I didn't know you watched me that much...

I guess I'm better at hiding it than I thought... I watch you all the time. It's like... whenever you're nearby, I'm drawn to you.

[ He laughs a little. He felt compelled to hide his face from Sora, but he didn't, because he needed him to know how serious he was. He wanted Sora to see just how much he cared. He promised Sora he'd be more honest with his feelings so... ]

[Sora ends up laughing a bit, hands coming up to pinch at Squall's cheeks gently.]

Alright, alright, I get it! [Sora's ... embarrassed.] Thanks...

I think you're really handsome too, you know. Even if it's more like... a pretty-handsome.

[ Squall makes a noise at the pinching that sounds like a cross between huffing and a soft laughter. ]

What about me is handsome or pretty? I'm not the one that shines so brightly.

[Does he really shine so brightly? Sora's face is going to be red for a while.]

Stop ... [He mutters, a breath escaping his lips again.] You've always been the better looking one, Squall... You've got those icy eyes and a pretty face. You're tall and strong too.

[pretty boy.]

[ Is that supposed to stop Squall? Because the red look on Sora's face just makes Squall want to say more things. It's a good look on him, all red and flustered. ]

Are you forgetting how strong you are?

[ Squall moved a hand gently to push more hair out of Sora's face, smiling that soft smile of his. So beautiful... ]

And you're a lot more beautiful I think...Just look at these eyes. So bright and full of life. A smile that could melt an entire room...
