[It was something of a surreal moment, wasn't it? That circumstance and choice had led to being in this place, with this person, with their hands and souls joined. And Mettaton with a form of flesh and blood, muscle and bone- moving in the way that a human would, gathering up the covers and tangling their limbs together. Able to feel the warmth of both body and surrounding fabric, the Ascian imagined. And though he was all yet sore himself, the comfort of the moment far outweighed it, of being both tired and secure in the embrace of his lover. That he had not only a lover but someone that he loved... despite their stark contrasts (Or, possibly, because of them? Talking about those things was always an impassioned subject for him, but- with Mettaton, at least, there was the possibility of maintaining some kind of civility.

Not a guarantee. It was too important a topic for that. But he cared for Mettaton's opinion even when it was wrong (i.e., when it disagreed with his own.)).

The kiss felt so natural that Emet-Selch is struck that bit more by it, that it was possible to have something like it, casual and yet brimming with affection. Made special by virtue of familiarity, perhaps.

The compliment though, draws a few blinks, the statement unexpected. Different from the sorts of flattery Mettaton usually expressed towards everyone, as though part of a verbal tic. Unsure of the cause, the Ascian considered that it was nice, he supposed, that Mettaton thought so. He was something of a wreck... but that had its own appeal.

The offer produces a small hum from him, barely audible, and encourages a brief kiss before replying.]


You already provide enough. More than.... [Than he could ever truly express. A feeling that contained both gratitude and sorrow. Words against lips turn into another, still briefer kiss before he continues, voice remaining low.] But if something should occur to me... I'll be sure to inform you.

[It's an offer that warms him a little, to have someone to rely on, who cared about him so....]

Right now, 'tis only to sleep, and then to wake with you afterward.

[To still be with him in the morning, for as many mornings as possible.]
