potosi | we'll sing a love song as we go along

[ Everything about Leo feels warmer when he's close to Sena, like the poor circulation in his hands and feet is suddenly gone because he gets to be so, so close to him. They fit together in a perfect way, one that makes him happy and just want to be with him constantly, to never be apart from him. So he doesn't care if there's anyone watching them. Doesn't care because he's so content. ]

I'm a greedy king! [ As if that's actually true. He just wants a kiss - wants every kiss he can get, honestly - but he'd give up everything for Sena if he asked. After all, he told him he'd do anything for him. Whatever would make him happy.

A soft whine starts to build in the back of his throat, but then the peck cuts it off at the pass. He perks up immediately, almost seeming to poof, and then he ducks his face down against Sena's shoulder and practically purrs, the hum at the back of his throat is so happy. There's a nuzzle, but - ] ... 'nother one.

[ oh my god. ] Are you serious?

[ but no. of course he's serious, he's leo. sena's bitching is pretty much par for the course, even though it's warm and quiet away from everyone else, the rest of knights distracted harassing their youngest member. even if it's kind of romantic, the two of them alone.

not that he's saying that, though. he's also not saying that leo's cute when he puffs up like that, like a cartoon character. he rolls his eyes to the ceiling, instead, because that's much safer, and scoffs at his attachment--but, he'll take the moment to make fun of him, instead, leering just a little. ] Why should I, hmm~? You're like a needy cat... ♪ Give me a good reason, there's no mistletoe around, ou-sa-ma.

Of course I am!

[ Leo is always very serious about his love for Sena, and that includes his kisses. He's serious about wanting them, each and every one of them, so of course he's going to ask for another one. But Sena is Sena, and he's super rude, and he lifts his face up from the back of his shoulder to pout softly at him when he starts picking on him. So mean! Definitely picking on him! ]

What, kisses aren't a good enough reason? All Sena would have to say is that he wanted a kiss, and I'd give him so many. [ He brings his hand up again, curling his fingers in the front of his shirt just at his sternum and lifting his head up again to hook his chin over his shoulder. Just so he can get closer like before. ] But I can go get mistletoe, if that's what it'll ta~ake.

[ it's cute, that pout. izumi's pretty sure he's aware of all the things he can get away with with a face like that--god knows izumi is aware of it--and it makes him chuckle, a somewhat gentle noise.

he shifts, easily, enough that it'll be a little easier for leo to hook over his shoulder like that, and though sena's expression stays pretty still, he lifts his hand and quietly covers it with his own. no one's around to say anything, no one's watching. if he spreads his fingers and lets them rest between leo's knuckles, no one has to know.

eventually, he tilts his head back just a little, temple to temple, eyes closed. tea can wait, just a little. ] Could you be any more annoying about this? [ there's hardly any heat to the quip, either. ]

[ Immediately, Leo spreads his fingers so that they can lace theirs together, happy even with just that small gesture. Being close to Sena, being with him and holding him and touching him, makes him happy. He's also not so oblivious as people assume him to be, considering he can read Sena like a book a lot of the time. Clear across Senahaus, all on his own, he knows that he was grumpy and jealous. Knows he loves Knights, but that doesn't stop him from feeling those feelings.

His eyes close when their temples fit together, and the pout turns into a soft smile. Warm, soft, intimate in their privacy - Izumi smells and feels good. He's happy. ]

Mm, probably. [ Slowly, Leo rubs his thumb against Sena's chest where he's still holding onto him. Away from the others, it's like they're an island unto their own. And he's happy for it, happy to be here, happy to be back and with his most beloved knight. ]

Please don't. [ wow, a please. it's acrid and rude, but it's still a please.

the tone of it is also completely dissonant with the soft moment happening here. leo laces their fingers together and izumi doesn't push it off or bitch or whine: he just folds his fingers over the top of leo's knuckles and huffs a sigh. the expression on his face is soft, too, unguarded for once, a face izumi rarely lets anyone see.

he's happy too. happy leo's back, even if he's bad at saying it. happy leo's smiling again, that it's not cracked and desperate anymore. that things--though not perfect--are feeling like a home again.

izumi huffs a sigh, the noise soft. the tea kettle hasn't boiled yet; leo's quiet. izumi could ruin it with this conversation, but it's something they need to talk about, anyway, with repayment festival looming just a few months away, and if they're an island away from the other knights making chaos, then...maybe that time's right now.

tone even, betraying no other emotions (hope, fear, nerves, anything.) ] ...What are you doing after graduation?
