i— [ flashbacks. ] [ . . . ] [ clears his throat. ] say, uh. than. do you happen to be doing anything right now?

🤭

[ he can't help himself any longer. for thanatos' sake, he held himself back—but words like that make zagreus' arms open up and surround the other, squeezing him tight with a wide smile. ] ah... you know, i can never get tired of hearing that!

it's important. [ gently taking his hand. no, it's not enough. Scooping Him Up In His Arms even though he could totally levitate. ] promise.

wow ... love ❤️🐕

🖤🍑

let me take the lead, then. i promise i'll make it worth your while, love. [ oh, and there he goes. into his quarters now—and he doesn't plan on letting him out too soon. 🤭 ]

stamping feather — like kisses atop 〈 Zᴀɢʀᴇᴜs. 〉 ‘s snoozing eyelids .

💭 ( having the sweetest dreams... )

horny grip 〈 Zᴀɢʀᴇᴜs. 〉

[ pawing motions ] :)

😳 oh! this again.

i am! enthused, i mean. i just didn't expect peaches so suddenly. i mean, it's been so long, and... 😳

no, i thought that you'd welcome me back with a huff or a scoff that's pretending to be tougher than how you really feel. that's all, truly. but anything involving you is more than enough.

[ a soft laugh, and zagreus carefully takes thanatos' hands in both of his. he leans in close to gently nuzzle his nose against his, movements practiced but natural. ] i've missed you, my butterfly.

you know my duties require me running off alone. [ a quick kiss to his lips, soft and reassuring. ] i always come back, don't i? and so do you.

and i'm grateful for that. it means i'll be in your thoughts, as you are in mine. [ he squeezes one of his hands, stepping back slightly so he can look at him properly. thanatos, beautiful and handsome as ever, is always a sight to behold. ] thank you for trusting me.
