As tall and strong as always, it was not struggle to keep him in his arms, kissing every inch of his face with a wide smile. "I have missed you, love, I'm sorry I have been gone for so long."

"More so than ever, in all honesty." He rested his cheek on the top of his head, closing his eyes as he soaked in the closeness and affection. "The world has never been more unorganized."

He hummed in agreement, softly running his fingers through his hair, gently curing it around his index. "But they're still so fascinating, I cannot find myself to be angered by humans."

"You haven't changed a bit."

"Rotten, I see." Grins.

"things get bad with time like a fruit, you're a fruit, you're rotten."

He smiled, nodding to his answer. He didn't really feel like finding an intelligent answer either. "You're warm."

He naturally curls his arms around him, kissing the side of his head as he kept on reading his book. "Hello, love, how have you been?"

The entity all but smiled, setting down his book to bring his full attention to him. "I have been well, but I am now better also." He kissed his cheek, nuzzling it with his nose.

"I've got something far more interesting in my arms, don't I?" He chuckled softly, smile still adorning his lips. "And it was all knowledge I already had, after all, I'd like you to tell me more, yeah?"

"But any story of yours will be good, not all stories ought to be beautiful." He leaned his head against the other's, hand reaching for the smaller. Gosh, the size difference, how he had missed it.

"You can always imagine what does lives would be in their next ones, it's all in the imagination." He booped the side of his head. "Try it, I'm sure you can, love."

"That's a very nice thought, and you're right, humans need a bit more kindness in their world." His fingers slowly went to his hair, gently toying with it.

"They're naive, but lovely to be with, time shall do them good." He kissed the side of his face again, a bit closer to the lips.

Bitter fruit.

"Dearest brooooother." Nuzzles his cheek.

"But I want to give you hugs, Tif." HES BEING ANNOYING AND KNOWS IT.
