[can't help a half smile at him, cheered]

Yes, I do. And I plan to make full use of it.

[mind_blown]

[and that in turn gets a smile out of him.]

Good.

[don't do it his way-- taking too many memories, too fast]

[tenebraecious]

[is pacting with your canon villain to take all memories the right way??? considering Jay for a beat for settling down again]

I am sorry if that was too much.

[mind_blown]

Nah. It was fine.

[he hasn't went into any of the things from his memories yet, but. he knows complicated messes.

or maybe not even complicated messes.]

Why would it be too much?

[tenebraecious]

I do not often have company in my memories. And I am ever aware of my position. It seemed that it weighed heavily upon me.

[mind_blown]

Well...

I don't often have company in my memories, either.

So, we have that in common.

[look, he says it, but there's a light half-shrug there.]

But I felt at my best when I did. So... Don't worry about sharing.

[tenebraecious]

I will do my best not to. And you? Since you feel better with company, will you return to Bad End tomorrow?

[mind_blown]

We'll see.

[he's a little more evasive about that]

[tenebraecious]

My invitation remains, but you may have to help with breakfast if you remain over long. Only to prove you are a good guest.

[mind_blown]

Help, how?

[he can be a good guest... but also... bad end only does meals together after trauma. he's not used to the concept of breakfast together.]

[tenebraecious]

Make toast and tea, most likely. It is all I am capable of, and Wednesday and Yugi enjoy tackling the greater part of it.

[mind_blown]

You know I'm basically a kid in the kitchen, right...?

[he sounds a. little embarrassed to admit it. since he can build bombs. but.]

[tenebraecious]

Then, I will not anticipate being upstaged. I am not much for cooking, either.

[mind_blown]

Okay.

... That isn't a promise I'd stay here all night either, but, just saying.

[tenebraecious]

You do not have to. Still, where would you go?

[mind_blown]

Normally I'd climb... but probably not a good idea tonight.

[tenebraecious]

No, not under these circumstances. I would have no hesitation in telling Silk of it as well.

[leaning further, looking up at him]

You know better than I what you must do for your own sake, but I would be disquieted by you not being here come morning.

[mind_blown]

... When you put it that way, I guess I can't refuse.

[tenebraecious]

Good, I am glad. I didn't like thinking that of you.

[. . . oh, well, going for a light kids. you did good, jason todd]

[mind_blown]

[he doesn't have to answer with words, when he could just return her kiss. his hand lifts to her cheek]

[tenebraecious]

[her eyes flutter shut, putting a hand on his chest then carefully pulling away. she tilts her head forward to press against his]

We ought to behave ourselves . . .

[light, no conviction in her words]

[mind_blown]

Who says this is misbehaving?

[there's a lightness in his voice, and just the slightest of grins on his face, his other hand going to grip her hand on his chest, and he leans forward for another kiss]

[tenebraecious]

[too quick for a protest to even form for her, going along with Jay's lead and pressing up a little further]

[mind_blown]

[it was the perfect setup, honestly. and he's got the leverage to pull her closer for the kiss. he's going slow for now.]

[tenebraecious]

[taking her time as well, now that they aren't caught up in a game or having to figure anything out between them. just enjoying the sensations and exploring, small noise of satisfaction]
