His other hand began to lightly tease the other — untouched ear. From the helix, antihelix, lobule, studying which one caused the most reaction.. Through different ways than one.

" Oh ? Do you have a favorite ~ ? "

He'd chirp as he leaned himself forward.
Hm. It's getting in the way again —— Might as well put this pesky mask away now ~

" Mind if I entertain myself a little first~? "

He'd whisper into Prince's ear, as his fingers made it all the way to trace the bite marks of the lobe.

As the masked merchant shifted slightly, he could feel something 𝘱𝘰𝘬𝘦 him. Ah, undeniable... Yet, predictable... He knows exactly which buttons to press, and which puzzles to solve, had he always been~

A content hum escaped him. It would be 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 for Zacharie to simply supply the hermit ©

Oh, how fun! New discoveries made between lovers; the thrill Zacharie gets knowing that the serpent isn't even trying to push him away in contentment, and the revelation that the ears are - in fact - a delicate spot.

The sudden shift in position allowed the merchant to let go of the other's ear. Leaving an empty feeling in his maw.

... Then a glance. And a grin.

Arms began to wrap around the hermit's broad shoulders as he took a *chomp* of the same ear again. It appears he found his answer to that question
⠀

⠀
He'd gently bite into the lobe a bit harder, but not too much. Teasingly.

" Mmmghfh I domt want steak... "

" Mmmh... mnot muhch. "

His voice came out muffled as his teeth gently tickled the lobe. Quite an "ear full".

" Mnbohred thougfh. "

He'd lazily lean into the hermit more; closing his eyes and just gnawing at the ear.
Someone is bored, or hungry.

There's a tiny songbird perched on his left shoulder, repeating over and over something into his ear. The hermit remains perfectly motionless, but a slight twitch of his eyebrow betrays him every so often when he hears the "Gay gay homosexual gay".

He wasn't expecting to be LIFTED up from the ground and into the bulky cold arms of the hermit.
It quickly brought a bright rosey blush across the merchant's face before he'd wrap his arms around the other's neck; nuzzling cheek on cheek.

He whispered that last part quietly, as he held onto the serpent's coat.

He can't recall the naga's own date of creation... he's so lovestruck over his partner. Perhaps he'll ask this tidbit of information later.

" As long as we get to spend time together, always, then today will be the best birthday I'll ever have.

I... don't need anyone else. "

His head would simply lazily rest in between the serpent's pectorals as he fluttered his gaze shut.

" Even if I'm not getting any gift, knowing that you're here with me is something not even gold can replace. "

His hands would gently caress the pale skin of the hermit as he brought himself closer.

" You. "

Age is something inevitable that he can't fathom or escape from; knowing that his number increases each year, it only reminds him how little his role matters in this world.

He'd lean against the kiss in return, before blinking in slight bewilderment.

" You can cook meatloaf?! "

I love you in every universe

If I one day stop loving you,

I hope you can find a way
