[salaryman]

At least, you know not to attempt to launch into any half-formed arguments.

[ Congrats. ]

I am not a good person. I am merely someone who is doing something "good."

[salaryman]

You're welcome.

[ He does want to argue about being thanked; he doesn't believe what he has said deserves it. In truth, it is something that Fai should have heard from others long ago. It should have been heard as soon as he was cursed in the first place.

"It wasn't your fault. You didn't do anything wrong."

His arms tighten around him yet again before relaxing. The anger he feels flares just a little bit more before it settles. Not much shows on his face, but that's fine; the two of them are this close and so he does not need to hide his emotions. ]

I shall say them whenever you are feeling like you are unworthy of them. [ A beat. ] So you don't forget the truth of what I said.

[ There are many truths in the world; this is the truth that he decides to live in, and would like Fai to live in it, as well. ]

[partymagician]

[ He smiles softly to himself, even as he feels that flash of anger. It's probably at whoever cursed him, isn't it? Fai bites back a comment that being angry on his behalf isn't worth it. ]

I'll try not to.

[ Fai can't promise that he'll view Nanami's words as truth, but he can promise to try. That's all he can do.

He steps away once Nanami's hold on him relaxes. It seems like he's going to fully disengage for a moment before Fai pulls on Nanami's collar to bring him closer again. His grip isn't strong and one that Nanami could easily wrangle himself out of, but Fai would like to think he wouldn't. Since Nanami is an inch or two taller, he tugs on it a little to bring him down so he can give him a kiss on the cheek.

It's another thanks—more affectionate than the previous one and one Nanami doesn't have to hear uttered. ]

[salaryman]

[ He lets his arms start to drop away until Fai pulls him down. It isn't necessarily insisting as it is just asking. Nanami doesn't pull himself back but lets himself be brought down closer to his level. There is mild curiosity felt in their connection -- What are you doing?

His eyebrows lift at the soft kiss on his cheek. He feels the thanks that is given, and there is resigned gratitude for being thanked. Though, he would say that there is nothing that he needs to be thanked for. Still, he tells himself yet again that there are times when he need not be so much himself.

Nanami lets out a small sigh as he rests his hands on either side of Fai's face and sets his forehead lightly against the mage's. It's all right. I'll be at and on your side for as long as I am here. ]

[partymagician]

[ He feels safe.

It's a strange feeling, and he can't remember the last time he felt it. It's... surprisingly nice. One of his hands goes up to rest over Nanami's as he lets out a small sigh, letting himself bask in this feeling.

But, he also finds his gaze drifting to Nanami's lips, and the grip he still has on his collar tightens a little. ]

Hey, Nana-pon. Can I...?

[ He feels like he doesn't necessarily need to finish the rest of that question, but his heart still beats at the thought of it despite himself. ]

[salaryman]

[ Nanami thinks that it might be wise to tell him "no." His own desire to not be perceived or worried about comes up, again, but he also feels how Fai does. This quiet moment does make him feel safe and comfortable, as well.

It is one that comes from being able to protect someone's heart even a little. ]

It's fine.

[ His voice involuntarily softens as he answers him. ]

[partymagician]

[ It probably would be a good idea not to do this, but then again, Fai doesn't avoid things because they're a bad idea.

So, he shifts just a little so he can press his lips against Nanami's. It's a soft kiss, and Fai keeps it chaste, wanting to gauge Nanami's reaction before he does anything more. Despite that, however, a simple kiss like this feels intense.

Sharing a stronger bond with someone really does make a difference, and Fai is feeling that right now. ]

[salaryman]

[ The soft, chaste kiss feels like another thank you and also something more. If he knew how Fai felt, he would agree that it felt more intense than one would think it should.

His hands are already on his face so he can tilt his head a little so that he can deepen the kiss. Is it wise to do so? Is it selfish? Nanami believes that it is not the wisest or kindest act that he could do, but --

-- the feelings are one of appreciation, of care, of honest affection that he has for Fai, and he wants to make certain that he feels them. ]

[partymagician]

[ He sighs into the kiss when Nanami deepens it, his fingers tightening their grip on the fabric of his shirt. Hopefully he doesn't wrinkle it...

But that small worry escapes him when he feels that affection and care coming from Nanami. It almost overwhelms him, and the temptation to back away is there, but Fai finds himself pressing closer instead, slightly parting his lips as an invitation for Nanami to further deepen the kiss.

At the same time, there's a surge of affection from Fai, hesitant at first, like he's not sure he's allowed to feel emotions like that before it grows strong and sure. ]

[coraza]

[existing is difficult]

It's just honey from Primavera. Thought you could use it on your meals.

[salaryman]

[ Mood. ]

I will take that.

[coraza]

It's not like you have a choice.

[cloud, you just told him to forget it less than a minute ago!]

Where should I drop it off?

[salaryman]

Since you went through the trouble of acquiring it, I should meet you.

[salaryman]

[ There is worry, of course, that he feels from those emotions, because he does not think that he's a person worthy of receiving them. He's someone who would die for others, because he prioritizes the lives of others over his own; in many ways, he considers that not fair to Fai.

It is why Nanami stills just for a second -- concern for Fai, for his heart, for his affection that he feels for him. The silent feeling that he does not believe he should be the person to receive them.

But the hesitation only lasts for a few seconds. It is enough for the mage to feel, to know that Nanami appreciates those feelings, but also let him know that he's not the person that can truly save him. At least, that's what he thinks. ]

[partymagician]

[ If Nanami can't really, truly save him... then that's okay with Fai. After all, he doesn't think he can be saved, and he wouldn't put that sort of burden on Nanami anyway. He wonders if maybe they aren't being fair to each other... but how would they solve that?

Fai doesn't know, and he doesn't know if he wants to really think about it either. After all, he'd much rather think about how nice Nanami's lips feel against his. His palm flattens out against Nanami's chest, letting go of the fabric and resting there instead while his other hand moves so Fai can run his fingers through Nanami's short hair.

There's another, smaller surge of affection. This is nice—despite the hesitance on both of their ends, Fai still feels safe. ]

[salaryman]

[ Honestly, Nanami isn't completely made of stone.

He merely always says that he doesn't like having his emotions dictate what he should be doing. But when faced with feeling those small surges of affection, with how safe Fai feels in this moment, he can't help but soften a little of his resolve and worries.

It helps that his thinking quiets for a little bit when Fai runs his fingers through his hair. As said before, he isn't completely immune to others, to emotions, to being touched. So, he does kiss him deeper; he tilts his head as he turns his so that it is easier to do so.

Nanami hesitates for a second before opening his mouth. ]

[cursedappetite]

Maybe not, but I'm going to anyway.

text, un: okkotsu

[interacting]

[ contacting nanami out of the blue is actually ten times more nerve wracking than it should be but, here he is anyway. ]

Hello, Nanami-san, this is Yuta.
Would you mind if I asked you something, if you aren't busy?

[salaryman]

While I do not think I will like the answer, why are you going to do so?

[salaryman]

[ Oh? Okkotsu is contacting him? ]

Hello, Okkotsu-kun.
I am not busy at the moment. What question do you have for me?

[ Well. At least he is his usual extremely polite self? ]

[partymagician]

[ That hesitation doesn't go unnoticed, so Fai is careful as he slides his tongue past Nanami's lips. He wonders if Nanami tastes like the coffee and cake they just ate, or something entirely different, before his tongue slides against his.

Fai's fingers tighten just a little in Nanami's hair, but enough to be noticeable. He wants more already and that is probably something Nanami can feel too, but there's no rush in his actions, both because of that hesitance he felt earlier and the fact that just this is fine for now too.

Maybe he should be a little more worried about what things will be like after this, but for now, Fai will just enjoy it. ]

[coraza]

[—!]

Uh, sure. Do you know ... Tifa's bar?

[cursedappetite]

You're important to me, remember?

[salaryman]

[ Tifa's bar? ]

No. I do not know that person.
