tiptoeing up to @starlithero…

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓 ﹗ @luckgone]

happiness purring in his chest, warm like an engine, he rests his chin on aether's head.

❛ oh. ❜

one arm— then another— flops over his shoulders in a sort of hug.

❛ can i watch? ❜

As it is when in the presence of Bennett’s infectious energy (Aether would insist,) he instantly smiles, eyes focused on his hands.

“Woodcarving. Just something small.”

Leans back into his chest.

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓 ﹗ @luckgone]

tiptoes up behind @starlithero, taking a moment to smile to himself before leaning in with an enquiring cant of the head.

❛ what’cha doin’? ❜

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓 ﹗ @luckgone]

smooches @starlithero on the cheek.

gift wraps a demon and gives it to @talismanicyang.

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓 ﹗ @luckgone]

@starlithero he’s greedy with the kiss; prioritizing it over breathing, in fact. so he’s sloooowly going purple… but in a cute way.

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓 ﹗ @luckgone]

@starlithero kiss

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓 ﹗ @luckgone]

he’s still running, just in the air.

❛ i don't not want to be cuddled right now. ❜

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓 ﹗ @luckgone]

+ he breathes, using his nose to nuzzle the space at the base of aether's neck.

❛ 'n' i'm going to make it up to you. right after i sleep for three days... ❜

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐓 ﹗ @luckgone]

aether's going to have to carry him then, because all that grief and exhaustion has finally caught up. but he can hear the smile in aether's voice and, tightening his side of the hug, he wills himself to pretend that the clock isn't ticking.

❛ i missed you so much. ❜ +

Are you kidding? I was about to drag you back to my room myself.

[ Bennett's heart is on his sleeve - always. But excitement and the bursting warmth in Aether's chest has him blinded to the tells.
