[He hums in affirmative, staying cuddled up close. It's true that he feels lucky, for all sorts of reasons. He gets to chase his dreams instead of pushing around a pencil all day. He gets to work alongside his beloved partner and childhood friend. He's loved and adored by all his fans, and he shines brightly onstage. His family foundation is doing better than it has been in years, and he has plenty of friends.
And he has Elan-kun.]
I'd say we're both lucky to be here, feeling each other's warmth ♪
[It's a nice break from the grind of his work schedule, much as he loves his job. It's an intimacy most idols can't afford. And it's been rewarding to see Elan grow from when they first met. Like watering a flower and watching it bloom.
Then after a moment of sitting there thinking sappy thoughts:]
Speaking of warmth, that travel program also had a beach episode! One where we basked under the summer sun, made sandcastles, and splashed each other with water~♪ I'm just letting you know, in case you wanted a second view of me. I know viewing me on the TV doesn't compare to having the real thing with you, though.
[ Elan hasn't had much of anything to call his own for a long time. Or maybe ever. There's not a lot to think about when it comes to life beforehand. Life where he wasn't someone else's tool or puppet. But he's here now; he has Hiyori. He has his little apartment. He's... surviving. Thriving, even. So it's enough.
He sighs, sounding a little long-suffering. ]
...I think one of you is enough of a handful, honestly.
[ He's teasing. Probably. ]
Although at least the one on TV isn't going to try and cause problems.
[That's his comeback. But he's content to snuggle Elan quietly after that, without making any more attempts to menace him. After a minute, though, he does speak up again (since he can never shut up for long.)]
By the way, when do I get to see your room? I've seen everywhere in the apartment except for that, so now I'm curious!
[He'll be the judge of whether or not it's interesting. You can usually tell at least a little bit about someone from looking at their room. For now, however, he'll just sip tea again.
And then add, after another pause:]
That wasn't me asking for a third round, by the way. I figure your body's still recovering from Round 2, so I wouldn't suggest that.
[You know. It wasn't that kind of "Let's take this to your bedroom."]
Though we also have a song about "breaking your limit."
[He'll just casually throw that in there, even though it seemingly contradicts what he just said about not wanting a third round. Mostly, he's teasing.
At any rate, they're on the same page about being comfortable right where they are. He stays snuggled up with Elan, making no move to get off the couch.]
I am too, so that's fine. Go ahead and cuddle me to your heart's content~♪
i'm so sorry, my inbox ate this comment and I just discovered it.
[ Groan. That pun-slash-innuendo gets him to give his head a little shove. ]
Don't worry, I plan on taking full advantage. You don't have to encourage me.
[ His eyes fall shut and he lets himself sink a little more into their cuddle session. It's... strange. He feels vulnerable and there's a part of him that still wants to run from this. On the other hand, it feels pretty damn good. ]
Although I guess it's nice to be wanted.
No worries! (But glad to have Elan-kun back in my inbox :))
[He already showed Elan the "Break your limit" song. Does Elan remember? Perhaps, but perhaps not; it's been a while since then. They've upgraded from love hotels to Elan's apartment! And Elan himself has upgraded to a better and brighter future for himself.
Has Hiyori done that, also...?]
Mhm. Especially by me!
[He chimes back, head resting against Elan's. His voice is soft as he confides, after a moment:]
That's why I became an idol, you know. Because I craved that feeling of love.
[ That's all he says at first. There's silence as he mulls that over and he considers, still curled against Hiyori's side. And then, after a long few moments of silence- ]
[His voice carries plenty of warmth. Though he also admits:]
It took some time, though. Things didn't work out in my last unit. And even in Eden, we've had our struggles. But now I can confidently say that I'm surrounded by love. Not just love from fans, but love from friends, family, myself...
[He shoots a sly look out of the corner of his eye.]
[Until Elan says that last line. Slowly, he starts to smile again, before abruptly throwing his arms around Elan's neck. (The mug of tea in his lap stays tucked between his thighs and doesn't spill over, miraculously.)]
Right, of course you are! I'm me, after all! And you're you! ♪
[His grip might be a bit too tight. But that's how glad he is!]
[In turn, he could get used to having Elan's hands run through his hair. He leans into the touch, enjoying it for its novelty—no one really touches him so casually, and given how much of his job involves looking good, most people no better than to mess with his hair. But he's off the clock right now, and it's fine if it's Elan-kun. Right?]
Right! But a "goof" sounds like someone who's full of nonsense, so I'd prefer if you used a prettier term! Like "free spirit"~♪

I didn't say anything like that.

[He pulls back to look at Elan properly, eyes wide with (feigned) surprise.]
Then what was all that cuddly stuff before? Elan-kun hasn't been faking his interest in me, has he? It's much too late for a twist like that!
no subject
[ Elan teases. ]
But I am still interested in you, so don't panic too much.
1/2
[But who wouldn't love him? He still seems uneasy!]
2/2
Right, of course you are! I'm me, after all! And you're you! ♪

Hey, watch it, or there's gonna be tea all over you-!
[ God, he is cute. Even if he's not about to say it. ]
At least you're smiling again.
no subject
Of course I am!
[He speaks against Elan's skin, contented and warm.]
It's how I show love! Just ask Nagisa-kun, or any of my fans.
no subject
You're a goof. But I'm OK with that.
[ His free hand lifts and he gently cards fingers into his hair. ]
You've got to have some fun now and again, right?
