I see.

[ but he doesn't look like he agrees ]

[abovefate]

[ reaching for his cheeks and pulling on them ]

You don't seem convinced.

[fallingleaf]

[ a laugh ]

Mm. I don't. But you sounded so resolute as you said it, I thought it better to not argue it.

[abovefate]

It's just how it is. You can think of me as just a puppet, anyway.

[fallingleaf]

I don't agree with that, either. You're as much a person as I am.

[abovefate]

[ there is a pause and for a moment he just seems shocked, and then he just. Glances away ]

... Mm.

[fallingleaf]

[ he reaches up, to pull his face back towards him, gently ]

Besides... Kindness is not something to have a finite amount of. If I spare some for you, I won't run out of it for others. Or at least, that is not the type of person I wish to be.

[abovefate]

... Even if you say that, it's still wasted on me.

[fallingleaf]

Mm. I don’t know.

Do you want me to stop?

[abovefate]

It's painful.

Being treated like this, like I'm worth something. It makes me think and feel things that are pointless.

[fallingleaf]

[ he's quiet for the moment at that, and then reaches for his hand, gently taking it into his own hand, and pulling where the pulse would be to his own lips for a light kiss ]

[abovefate]

... You really just like doing sappy things like that, huh.

[fallingleaf]

I do.

While I like words... sometimes, actions speak louder. You're free to tell me to stop.

[abovefate]

I don't want you to stop.

I like it.

I like you.

[fallingleaf]

[ a chuckle ]

And that's why I haven't.

[ both hands reach up to cup his cheeks as he stares up at him ]

[abovefate]

Don't look at me like that.

[fallingleaf]

Like what?

[abovefate]

Like a lost puppy.

[fallingleaf]

[ a soft laugh ]

I didn’t realize that was the look I was giving. I do not feel lost right now.

[abovefate]

That's even worse somehow.

[ but here he goes, leaning down to kiss his forehead ]

[fallingleaf]

Ah…

[ he looks up at him after that, and then pulls him down for a proper kiss ]

[abovefate]

[ kissing him back, keeping it sweet and gentle - and then bringing his hands over his ]

[fallingleaf]

[ honestly, he feels very spoiled by this now, but he keeps it short, not moving his hands ]

That was unexpected.

[abovefate]

Don't get used to it.

[fallingleaf]

Mm. How cruel.
