+clashing against hers, chuckling as he did so, rubbing her cheek ever so gently.

"...I think I enjoy doing that."

+off and allowed him to appreciate it all.

Her soft lips on his, her in his arms and vice versa, the feeling of being fully embraced utterly magical to Senketsu.

And he wanted it to last as long as he could make it last. But eventually, he had to slowly pull away, a soft gasp, forehead gently +

Finally.

Oh, finally.

He had wanted to do this for oh so long. He never knew what this was like, and she was the only other he would dare to even think of doing this with, something he never thought he would be able to do in the first place.

And it felt right, after the initial shock had worn+

+Ryūko. I love you, a strange as that may be."

Before she could answer, let alone process that confession, he would press his lips to hers in a deep kiss, his eye closing as he did so.

+gently running along her bottom lip, feeling the tender skin as his gaze seemed to soften up but remaining locked to her eyes.

Having her like this, everything seemed to clicked into place in his mind, a soft nod.

"Fun may be a factor for this, however... I believe the main factor is love, +

There was something oh so cute to him about the way that she reacted to him and his actions, it made him feel like he was wanted by her. In a sense, he knew she was okay and he was the "problem," but he just couldn't stop the light teasing, lips curled into a soft smirk, his thumb coming over and +

+at him.

"The raised blood pressure and heart rate indicate stress, are you well?"

+try, now that I have this form. It never really was a thought before, given... everything.

Lacking a body isn't very fun, but. I have one now."

A slight move up just to be face to face with her, making sure to lock eyes with her, gently grasping her face with both hands to make sure she looked +

And her he was, enjoying the feeling of her touch on him, a soft sigh as he simply accepted every bit of affection from the woman beneath him, eyes closing.

Only to open one and raise an eyebrow, head tilting.

"Ah. I mean. Given everything, I figured such an act would only be natural to want to +

+is nice to exist as you do. I can hug you, walk with you. Hold your hand. Kiss you. There's a lot I have to learn, but I'll be there, with you by my side."

+now resting his head on her chest, he'd close his eyes and listen to her breathing and heartbeat, a soft smile on his face.

The calm and quiet was nice, and having it with her, while her hands played at his hair, eyes opening as that question seemed to hit deep.

"Mm. I'm not used to it, but it +

+and such."

He simply enjoyed this time. He enjoyed her and the time they got to spend together.

"You can feel that way, but when you've worked as hard as you have, then things are going to seemingly fall in your lap. It's best not to look the gift kamui in the mouth."

He adjusted just a bit, +

"Mm. Right. You tend to be a bit of a jokester. It really has been too long, I suppose."

A soft chuckle as he simply laid on her, the gentle kick earning a soft noise.

"Floating in space while you slowly regenerate your entire being does tend to dull ones senses, especially when it comes to time +

+of you for that. I know you don't need me but it's okay to want. I want to be by your side as well."

Leaning into her touch with a smile, a soft sight as he enjoyed feeling that, his own hand coming up to cup and caress her cheek in return.

+merged during that last fight against your mother. There's still a lot left to the imagination."

He was simply enjoying the closeness, something about this current form with her was a bit more intimate, more personal. And he enjoyed it.

"And I'm glad for that. You've grown so much, and I'm proud+

"Mmm? My apologies. I often forget that I have meat to this form. Please pardon me while I adjust."

A solemn apology, locking eyes with her in return, a curious head tilt.

"I understand that you wanted more excitement in that answer, but at the time, I was floating in space. Maybe a part of us +

+am here now and can help you in any way. I missed you a lot, you know."

+isn't in my mind. Maybe it was me, maybe it was your memories of me. Either way... I'm glad that I managed to help you out one last time, even without actually being there."

Flashing her a smile before he'd sit up and make his way over to her, plopping on top of her.

"What I do know, is that I +

Sat there, merely reading, a thing he had always wished to do, one leg over the other, eyes scanning the pages as he shook one foot back and forth idly.

Peering up and over his book to her with an eyebrow raised.

"Well. I can't say for sure, Ryūko. It has been a while, and even then, that fight+
