[ this is one of those times when emotionshare is a very handy thing, because being able to feel that reaction on top of seeing its outward expression makes it impossible to mistake it for anything else or downplay it.
that's sort of thrilling for fidelio too, easing any self-consciousness he might otherwise have and making him break into a smile that only grows after the second kiss. this is what all this is like, huh? it's sort of nice, actually, that they're both so late to the party.
he takes the offered hand, a warm feeling fluttering in his chest. ]
[ oh, seeing that bigger smile gets another burst of affection from him, too. Such a handsome smile. onwards!
god knows there are plenty of people milling about after the festivities of the night, but that's kind of fun, too - ducking around corners to avoid loving if very overbearing cupid-minded friends, and/or roommates, hurrying past tipsy, happy groups of people enjoying the warm parts that remain of heaven. it's a little silly, but it adds to the thrill of it all. his attention's focused on fidelio the entire time, aiming to slip into the mansion without being seen, and genuinely having a blast doing it.
he's trying very hard to muffle giggles by the time they manage to actually slip the others, still a little tipsy, and leans against the door when it's shut (blissfully, empty for just the two of them.) with an overexaggerated phew, taair beams at him, fingers still threaded with his and flush with adventure and tipsy courage. ]
Well done, well done! [ tugging a little on his hand. ] That was close.
[ laughs; he imagines most of them were probably caught up enough in their own drama that they wouldn't have really noticed them anyway, but. ]
Hey now, don't underestimate my skill at stealth missions. Even broke a bunch of people out of a jail cell before.
[ he reaches around behind taair with his free hand to lock the door quick just in case, then tugs on his hand instead to lead him over toward his bed. he honestly has no idea how far they're actually intending to go, but given the height difference, even a little kissing session isn't going to be too feasible anywhere else. ]
this little factoid makes him light up, delighted - then he laughs in realization at himself, with a little click of his tongue. ]
Oh - you must not tell me things like that, it'll be terribly distracting...
[ because it's hinting at a fun story, his very favorite sort of thing, though it's partially just playful banter in response. it does make a fun picture, a dashing del and bas sneaking an innocent group of wrongly accused out from the clutches of a cruel captor... but now is really not the time, especially as he's being tugged along - he makes a little noise as he peels off the door, laughing, and follows right along towards the bed.
this part is all very familiar. he's limped off to this bed a few times now, injured and sore, slept like a baby curled up here the past few nights, probably even brought over extra blankets from the evening after his adventure for extra comfort. and so, easily, he goes, dropping down to sit a little less gracefully than usual, stretching out his long legs and tilting his head up to look at him. instant height different equalizer!
his other hand comes up, too, reaching up to briefly cup his cheek, this time, fondly: clearly, content to be swept up in the moment. ]
[ honestly it would be hilarious if one of the like two times he came in here was now. also the jailbreak was so much less dashing than he's imagining but that's fine. ]
Save that for later, then.
[ fidelio kicks off his shoes and unbuttons his waistcoat before getting up on the bed; he's already a little too warm between the crowded party, the rush over here, and... everything else. he sits up on his knees, giving the illusion of a height advantage, and briefly touches taair's hand as it rests against his cheek, brushing his own fingertips over it and smiling at him with fondness and a little glimmer of excitement.
then he's leaning in over him and putting that hand down on the mattress to steady himself, meeting his lips with a much more fervid kiss than anything they've shared up until now as his tail flicks enthusiastically behind him. ]
ooh! oooh. you know, the height illusion is actually really very nice. he does not mind that he's taller than fidelio by a good margin (and quite frankly, it could be much worse - thankfully taair is pretty small, too) but there is something to be said for looking up at him like that. truly his power levels would have been too strong if he was a tall paripus.
the excitement is matched - his heartbeat skips in anticipation, and he's leaning up the moment fidelio starts to lean down. the hand on his cheek stays there for a moment, as taair tilts his head to the right angle, and then slowly sides back, to thread into his hair, to hold him in place. it's a lot with the sensation, let alone with the occasional ping of emotionshare, but it's a good kind of a lot, if his are any indication, the way he makes a very soft noise of interest into his mouth as the kiss is returned, his eyes fluttering closed on the outbreath of a sigh between presses of their lips together. it scatters all of his usually ever-churning thoughts into nothingness in the best way you could ask.
as you might expect, taair kisses the way he does most everything - like a learning experience, curious and bold in shades. his free hand, which was acting as a support, comes up, instead, curling in the front of fidelio's shirt, then smoothing over his shoulder, then curling around the back of his neck, touch for the sake of touching like he simply can't resist the urge to. he's warm and soft and right here, and it's a wonder to be able to snatch away a little moment of privacy like this in the lively chaos of heaven made whole. however far this goes is the last thing on his mind, at the moment - what is on his mind is that he does not have any interest in stopping anytime soon. ]
