[dothelokimotion]

[ loki grumbles. ]

I know.

[ but he had no idea how to broach it then. he had been trying not to seem too needy, not to let his feelings get the better of himself and face heartbreak. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[His expression softens.]

You could have told me. That it symbolizes... connection.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shakes his head. ]

Back then, I was too afraid. It was too much of a risk. What if I was asking too much?

What if it was too much for you to bear?

[unkindled_madness]

I suppose we weren't entirely on the same page, that day.

[That was the day Loki told him he loved him, and Sephiroth didn't even know if he felt it. Loki wanted someone to love him openly, and Sephiroth could barely kiss him in the open.]

...I know my feelings better, now.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki smiles, brushing his fingers against the curve of sephiroth's jaw. ]

We're here now. On the same page.

[unkindled_madness]

[Sephiroth nods.]

Equals. [In the intensity of their feelings, in their devotion to each other. It doesn't have to be exactly the same.

He gestures with the ribbon.]

Shall I?

[dothelokimotion]

Please.

[ loki moves so sephiroth can work with his ribbon. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[He's unused to braiding someone else's hair, but he's careful and meticulous, working the ribbon into a braid to tie back Loki's hair from his face.]

...how is that?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki feels it out with his fingers before smiling. ]

It's perfect.

[unkindled_madness]

[He smiles.]

Then it will do for now.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki grins, running through it with his hand before letting it drop. ]

Good.

[unkindled_madness]

So, are we now properly betrothed?

[dothelokimotion]

Yes. We are now properly betrothed.

[unkindled_madness]

Good. I haven't looked into all the steps yet.

[dothelokimotion]

[ okay, loki laughs. ]

So you want time to catch up?

That seems fair.

[unkindled_madness]

It is something of a blind spot in my knowledge.

[dothelokimotion]

I know.

[ loki kisses his nose. ]

But you're doing admirably.

[unkindled_madness]

Am I?

[He did come out here completely unprepared, after all.]

[dothelokimotion]

I think so.

Of course, if you feel otherwise, I'm happy to be surprised later.

[unkindled_madness]

Hmm.

[He considers Loki, hands slipping into his.]

I think I can do better.

[dothelokimotion]

Oh?

[ loki grins, eyes bright. wholly fixed on sephiroth, on them. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[Yes, it's definitely time to lean in for a kiss. Not one of these quick, fond kisses but a deep, lasting one.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ oh, that's perfect. loki melts into it, sweet as sugar on the tongue. ]

[unkindled_madness]

[He lets go Loki's hands only to wind his arms about Loki's waist instead, tugging him closer.]

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki slides his palms up sephiroth's chest in response before resting upon his shoulders. ]
