Comments

[arseid]

All the same, I appreciate it. I know at times they can be... slightly overwhelming.

[inheiritor]

... But you love them even so, correct?

[He's never once doubted how much Laura adores her friends and classmates.]

[arseid]

I do. In a sense, they're practically family.

[ They'd been through so much, she can't not love them. ]

[inheiritor]

[... Honestly...]

I should thank them.

[Oh.]

For taking care of you in their own way, all this time.

[arseid]

By that measure, I ought to be thanking your entire army, too. I'd say we're both incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by so many good people.

[inheiritor]

[LAURA.........

Seliph can't help but look amused at that.]

By sheer logistics alone, thanking your classmates seems like a far simpler task.

[SORRY TO SAY.]

[arseid]

Oh, undeniably.

[ AS CALM AND UNFLAPPABLE AS EVER. ]

However, I don't see why that should dissuade me.

[inheiritor]

[...... LAURA...]

I fear you are... still far too much for me in every possible way.

Please don't feel the need to thank every member of the army.

[arseid]

Saying I'm too much for you... does that mean you've given up on me?

[ she says not-at-all seriously.

But she is going to thank them anyway. ]

[inheiritor]

[... Well.

No???]

That is something that I...could never do.

[NEVER.]

Even if I have to strive my entire life to catch up to you... it's something I'll gladly do to keep you in my life.

[arseid]

Seliph...

[ HE'S ALWAYS SO EARNEST. ]

I wouldn't discredit yourself so much. You've always been closer to me than you realize.

[inheiritor]

[... Well, in all honesty:]

If that's the case, then I'm satisfied in a lot of ways with the person I've become.

[arseid]

And I'm proud to have been beside you to witness it for myself.

[ these nerds. ]

[inheiritor]

[God they are such nerds, having this conversation while Seliph's in a sexy santa outfit.]

Though for now...

[You know what.

He's going for it.

He's already been embarrassed, he's just leaning in to tilt her chin up to press their lips together.]

[arseid]

[ WHAT DID FIE EXPECT, REALLY--

Well, probably something more along the lines of this. Laura's still smiling when he kisses her, but she'll rest a hand on his chest to steady herself and kiss him back.

He's irresistible on most days, but he's in a sexy santa outfit and being adorably earnest, who could fight that? ]

[inheiritor]

[The two don't quite go together, but it seems to work for them.

Because he's going to tug her just a little closer, kissing her warmly, one kiss after another, not long lingering, but warm even so.

This...is good. He likes this--it's a bit easier than trying to figure out how to keep his legs positioned in this outfit.]

[arseid]

I see-- [ Laura's going to try to speak between kisses, even as she willingly meets him for one after another. ]

You're feeling-- a bit more comfortable-- aren't you?

[inheiritor]

I always feel more comfortable like this...

[He murmurs that between kisses, but.

Yeah.

Kissing Laura makes him feel very comfortable.]

[arseid]

... If I'd known that, I would have kissed you the minute I saw you.

[ Alas. ]

[inheiritor]

... I suppose I would have had less time to contemplate the costume--

[arseid]

Duly noted. Should Fie corner you into another outfit again, I shall prepare myself.

[inheiritor]

[Dear god no.]

Much as I appreciate your friends, Laura... I would rather not be alone with her again.

[Please.]

[arseid]

... That can additionally be arranged.

[ She at least looks apologetic?? ]

[inheiritor]

Thank you, Laura...

[That's a relief. Which is deserving of another kiss, really.]
