[Heizou just chuckles a little, back to sipping his tea.]

Yeah, I'm not quite sure how he does it either. Just part of being the god of freedom, I suppose~

[threebetrayals]

He's the worst. [He is not.] And I still say you're a masochist.

[Back on more familiar footing.]

[book2thehead]

And you're still a sadist~

[Heizou playfully sticks his tongue out at Wanderer for a second.]

Oh, maybe that's why I like you so much! So you can forget about all that other stuff I said~

[threebetrayals]

Mmm, no. I don't think I will.

[He's smirking.]

I'll remember it always, just to torture you.

[And because it makes him soft.]

[book2thehead]

[That smirk makes him wrinkle his nose a little, reaching up to poke at it.]

Careful now, if you torture me too much I'll have to kiss you.

[threebetrayals]

Oh? Is that a promise?

[book2thehead]

[He blinks, surprised. His cheeks go a little pink.]

...Do you want it to be?

[threebetrayals]

[Oops, he did not react the way he expected.]

And if I do?

[book2thehead]

...Do you like it when I kiss you?

[threebetrayals]

[Wanderer may not really need to breathe, but he still manages to choke on air at that.]

I--what kind of question is that?!

[book2thehead]

[He lets out an embarrassed little chuckle, even though his cheeks are still pretty pink.]

Ah- You're right, you don't have to answer that. You've just always looked so alarmed when I've kissed you in the past, so... I thought maybe you didn't like it.

[That's why he hasn't tried since after he woke up from his month-long nap.]

[threebetrayals]

If I didn't like it, would I let you do it?

[book2thehead]

That's why I always tried to catch you by surprise when I did it!

[But that's good to know...]

[threebetrayals]

I thought you were just being a brat.

[book2thehead]

Well. That's also true~

[threebetrayals]

[Wanderer rolls his eyes and just shoves at Heizou, as if he were a child.]

[book2thehead]

[The shove just makes him giggle, swaying right back so their shoulders bump together.]

So you... You really don't mind?

[threebetrayals]

If I did, you would know. It would be painful.

[book2thehead]

Hmm... That still seems different from liking it, though. You're just letting me do what I want. It's not coming from you.

[He wants to be kissed back. Is that so bad?!]

[threebetrayals]

[...ah. He gets it.

Wanderer doesn't respond right away, debating the merits of not giving Heizou an answer and just moving on. After a moment, he just sighs.]

I...don't know how.

[Obviously he knows how to kiss, but how do you explain that you don't know how to initiate affection with anyone at all? He's hoping Heizou gets that.]

[book2thehead]

[Heizou takes that moment to sip at his tea some more. And he knows how Wanderer is, so he fully expects him to not answer at all. Maybe he'll think on it for a little while and come back to it later. So he's surprised when he responds just a moment later, blinking at him over the rim of his teacup.

He does get what he means, though. Wanderer kissed him back that time in the cafe, forever ago. But it was still brief, and as always, Heizou had been the one to initiate it.]

...I could tell you, but- it's a little meaningless if you don't want to.

[threebetrayals]

I don't know if I want to. But I don't hate it.

[He's learning, okay? He's learning a lot.]

[book2thehead]

Well... How about this. From now on I can tell you when I wanna kiss you, and then you can ask me why and decide whether or not to allow it.

[threebetrayals]

Or you can just kiss me, and if I don't want you to I'll just stop you.

[Honestly.]

[book2thehead]

But you won't learn anything from that.
