[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...

[NO. THIS ISN'T! FAIR!

Sora huffs and pushes Squall back enough that he lays on his back. Sora then rolls over to roll on top of him, straddling and sitting on his hips and so he can look down at Squall.]

I'm only... As strong as the people around me are, you know. [Huff huff.] But compared to you I've always been pretty plain. I'm just Sora. You don't gotta say things like that.

[He just wants to be Sora.]

[ Squall stares up at Sora with a faint redness starting to form on his own face. He swallows a bit nervously, but Sora definitely has his attention now if he didn't have it before. He's not sure if he quite gets Sora's denial, but the look on his face.... actually maybe he could understand a little. Everyone back home made a big deal about Squall, but he never saw anything important about himself.]

I think... just Sora is my favorite Sora, if I'm being honest. Just Sora's the one who pulled me into his life after all.

[His expression softens and Sora drops his forehead down to Squall's shoulder. He shuts his eyes for a moment and notices the small prickling pain in his earlobe again. He can feel Squall's breathing like this too and for a moment he feels...]

Thanks, Squall.

[He doesn't mind the compliments but he doesn't want to be better than anyone else. He's just Sora... He knows he has so many people relying on him to save the Universe... But he's just... Sora.

So he's happy to hear that from Squall. Someone he loves so much. ~~being called handsome was a bonus though~~]

[ Squall moved a hand up to Sora's hair now that he was leaning against him, working his fingers through his hair, even letting his nails lightly scratch against his scalp. He couldn't stop that small smile forming on his lips with Sora so close. He could probably even hear his heart beating quickly.]

Please don't ever think... you have to be anything but yourself with me, okay? Happy, sad, mad, or whatever... as long as you're just you, that's what makes my heart beat this fast.

Squall... You're great, did you know that?

[Sora feels a new blush flush across his cheeks as he turns his head to bury into Squall's shoulder to hide there. He can feel his heart beating and in turn, he can feel Squall's heart as well and the rhythm of them being close like this makes him feel content and warm. He never wants it to end.

How he got so lucky to have Squall's attention and his understanding, he'll never quite know. Sora's puppylove crush had been so strong back then and somehow they ended up like this.]

I'm happy...

[ A-ah... Hearing that from Sora when he buries himself into his shoulder just makes him even more embarrassed. Did he say something special? He was just... trying to say what was on his mind and then Sora called him great.

The room got a little chilly, so Squall wrapped his arms a little tighter around Sora. Around the ceiling, little pink snowflakes seemed to dance around. ]

Good... I want to make you happy.

[ He wants to be the kind of person Sora could seek out for anything. ]

[There is this funny trade-off when Squall is happy enough to make pink snow. It gets colder and Sora dislikes the way the fresh coolness sweeps over him but Squall's body itself is warm and inviting. As long as he can stay pressed close to Squall like this that gentle coolness isn't so bad. Pleasant, actually. It makes Sora shiver slightly, a tiny electric feeling fluttering down his spine.]

I know I can't forget about the things I have to do back home... But sometimes, when we're like this? I feel like I'm the happiest. I wonder if it's okay for me to be just Sora for as long as I can.

[ Squall continued working his fingers through Sora's hair softly, even tugging him closer just to give him a little more warmth. He'd feel guilty if he realized how much the coldness bothered Sora. It's not really like he intended for his emotions to spark in frosts... ]

I'll make you a deal. If I can stay here with you... and be just Squall, then you can be just Sora.

[ He leaned up to kiss Sora's forehead softly. ]

[It's okay, Squall. Sora accepted long ago that he fell in love with an ice prince. He'll endure the happy snowflakes.

Sora smiles softly at the kiss and then looks up at Squall with a bit of curiosity.]

Deal. But are you ever worried about going home, Squall? Is there things waiting for you?
