Then consider me moved back in. [ The response comes quiet, quick. ] I'll have to pick up a few things from Tighnari's place later, butβ
[ Whoops. Tighnari. Kaveh told the other he'd "be back later"β last night. He should probably contact the forest ranger sooner rather than later to let him know he's alright.
In a little while, though. Right now he wants to relax like this, enjoy the comfort of the man sprawled out against his side. Idly, his fingers tighten around the hand twined with his, lifting it to his lips so he can dot soft kisses along the crests of Alhaitham's knuckles as he listens to the other feel the words out.
Of course, the answer is as difficult as the question. Kaveh's never been in a relationship quite like this one, nor one as serious as this. Even by himself, Alhaitham warrants a certain degree of care... The blonde sighs, brows furrowing as he thinks it over. ] It doesn't look all that much different from beforeβ [ is his eventual answer, his smile soft. ] Just... It's just a promise. If something happens, and one of us feels... insecure, or has doubts, or doesn't understand... then we talk about it instead of testing. Or assuming.
[ The smile fades in place, a more serious expression on his face even as he unfolds the fingers in his hand, his lips finding the other man's palm instead, kisses pressed into the skin. ]
I don't want to screw this up again.
[ As for the debt... well, later he'll remember to feel bad about it, but right now there's an excitement practically waiting under the seriousness of the needed discussion, a readiness to show Alhaitham everything he's planned for them and ask for input. ]
