( this draws out a huff. a smile is drawn, slight. small. he wants to chide ryuu. )
Don't you trust me? ( and then he laughs. short! just like his smile, eyes dangerous and dancing, flashing as he bats his eyelashes. ) If I think it suits you, then it suits you... to a tee, nonetheless.
( one hand naturally moves up, holds ryuu's face there against his exposed shoulder. )
... I feel that you deserve more than what I can give you.
Of course I trust you! [ his answer is near immediate, colored by the good humor held in his throat. his breath plumes against tenn's skin as he feels his soft palm on his face, warm and satisfied. ] Even now, seeing something that pretty surprises me, you know?
[ you can take the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy, etc. ]
Still, you don't have to feel that way. You give me plenty.
[ more than he could have ever expected, truthfully. that thought sears bright in the manna they share, the brilliant synchrony free flowing like the most beautiful music he knows. it was always there, he's realized. it's just that now, it has a shape and a weight. a name. ]
( he should be happy to hear what ryuu is saying; that what he's doing is enough, and that enough is enough. but tenn has never been successful when resting on his laurels, so it's natural for him to shove that as a reason--- even when its the source of his happiness and joy that tells him otherwise. but what tenn feels... what he realizes, is that there is more than just a surface-level understanding when hearing ryuu's words. how they tumble from his lips and how tenn gathers them up, buries his face into them... )
I don't have to feel that way. ( said bemusedly, as he takes in a deep breath. his scent is warm. inviting. it reminds him of a home that he wishes he could've had, but has no regrets for leaving. ) But I want to.
( lips find the top of ryuu's head, and tenn sighs. )
I want to give you the world. Not just as a friend or as a partner.
