[Difficult it is for him to stop claiming kisses long enough for her to get her words out, they evoke an unexpected reaction from somewhere deep in his chest, a surprising surge of eagerness rising to the surface at the promise of what that means— more than just the physical aspect, there's an implicit trust implied that he decides he very much likes, not to mention it serves as a reminder that she's been thinking about these moments just as much as he has.
He exhales against her lips as she opens the door and pulls him through, allowing himself to be led without hesitation, stumbling forward just one step to keep up before he slides a hand beneath her pajama top and up the length of her back, stealing another eager kiss as they approach the bed.]
You've— [He lets out a breathless little laugh between kisses as they reach the bed, and somewhere in the back of his mind he's vaguely aware of the fact that they're apparently going to claim every bedroom in this damn place.] Truly thought of everything.
[A chuckle escapes her lips as she returns his kisses. Once more, she finds herself, back against the mattress, Gale hovering over her and her hands moving up to lovingly cup his face.
What did she ever do to end up here? She has never known the universe to be especially kind and the joy she feels is as unreal to her just like how Gale voiced how unreal her presence was to him.]
And that's no thanks to you. [Her finger pokes his nose playfully.]
I have a much better idea of what I'm dealing with after last night.
[He laughs more openly at her teasing; it's so easy to smile and to laugh with her regardless of what they're doing, but that she can be so playful even now only spurs him onward, and he turns his face just enough to kiss the ball beneath her thumb as he hovers over her, smiling indulgently.]
Naturally, you're a very quick study. I knew you were brilliant.
[Just how quick, he's sure they're about to find out— he has every intention of making the most of the time they have now, given this opportunity to make up for all they've lost.]
[She remembers thinking long ago, about how his smiles felt like a reward with how genuine they were. No, reward wasn't the right word; it was a newly discovered treasure that made her heart glow in turn. And it wasn't just his smiles; it was everything about him, the imperfections, the clumsiness, the willingness to go above and beyond, and a wonderfully tender heart given to her.
And so she pulls his face down to seal her lips over his. The night is young and promising with all its pleasures but it's the next day and the guarantee of him being there that makes this even more worth it.
Neither of them are friends with loneliness anymore and perhaps they never will be again.]
